I am now back in China, bringing my family with me for one purpose. I left them at a nearby hotel while I drove to the clan's grounds by myself. I went straight to the clan's Head house, hoping he or she will be there.

"Hello, I'm here to see the clan's Head," I said to one of the workers there. The person brought me into the familiar main hall and went to find the clan's Head. I can see one or two familiar faces like the cook and the gardener. The rest were probably recruited by the new Head himself/herself.

"Ho An, I'm glad you're still alive," said a man of 40 years old. "Hello, Clan Head," I greeted him amicably. "So, what can I help you with?" he asked. "I wish for 'the purge'," I replied. "You don't want your family to live with us here instead?" he asked trying to persuade me to change my mind. "No. They're different. They're the last of their clan members and I wish to be one of them as well," I explained. Hopefully he knows who I was referring to and will let me leave with them. "I see. Normally speaking, your children need to be purged as well but since they might have inherited any abilities from your husband, then the purges can't be done on them as well," he said after seemingly understanding the situation. I breathe a sigh of relief knowing he would not go after my children. "Alright, I'll call the elders and let them know about this. Come tomorrow afternoon and we'll get it done," he told me. I thanked him before leaving the clan's grounds.

On my way to my vehicle, I met my distant cousin, Ho Ai. She was happy to see me but became sad after I said I came only for 'the purge'. I quickly cheered her up by inviting her to see my family to which she agreed immediately.

She told me about some of the incidents that happened after the calamity started. The conversation was boring at first as what she mentioned were the same as what grandmother had dreamed about. That was until it came to my father and his other family. Father was sent to Gamma Base along with most of the clan members who have abilities to help it's leader there. As usual, he stirred some problems when he started 'charming' women there. A few of them were wives and daughters of high ranking soldiers at the base. These protective and jealous men banded together and taught him a lesson; they cut off his 'charm maker'. The women he charmed woke up from their illusions and left him one after another, including his lovely, Liu Yifei. Who would not. He stopped taking care of his appearance a long time ago, relying too much on his ability.

Liu Yifei on the other hand ended up becoming one of the zombies. After she left father, she went looking for a more suitable man to take care of her not knowing the man she found was already infected.

Ho He probably had the best life out of the three. She was among the people the clan's Head sent to Gamma Base. When people learned that the rivers are contaminated, she volunteered herself as the source of providing water to the entire base. Unfortunately, she made the situation worse. Guess she did not learn how rain is formed when she was in school. The base leader unsympathetically kicked her out of his base. He even informed other base leaders to be cautious of her using her ability if she ever offers her help to them. That day, thanks to her a third of the base population turned into zombies. Left with no other place to go, she returned guilt-ridden to the clan's grounds. She was ordered not to use her ability outside ever again or risked being purged.

My family and I left the day after I had the procedure done. "Did you regret it?" asked Tatsuya. "No. I'm now an ordinary person. I can only rely on you from now on," I replied. "I'll take care of you," he promised.
