Meryl and Roberto are taken to JuLai, the Third City, by Zazie. There, they learn why and how the human race ended up on this planet, No Man's Land. They also see Conrad, the former leader of the Sinners research group, who explains his goals. Meanwhile, Vash and Wolfwood reach the top floor of the JuLai Tower, where Knives awaits.
Requiring neither food nor drink,
،لا يحتاج لطعام أو شراب
Ich wollte eine neue Menschheit erschaffen,
die ohne Wasser oder Nahrung
Que no requiera comer ni beber,
Que no requiera comer ni beber,
Créer une humanité insensible à la faim,
à la chaleur et au froid du désert.
जिसे न खाने की ज़रूरत और न पीने की,
Non hanno bisogno né di cibo né di acqua.
Não precisa de comida nem bebida,
Тех, кому не нужна вода и еда!
