The pitch-black bullet went straight through the Crusted child's brain, exited from the other side of the chin, and then hit the concrete floor with the remaining force, making a crisp sound.
"Big brother... what are you doing?" The Crusted kid turned his head with difficulty, trembling all over, staring at Laite with his blood-red eyes.
The bullet from the revolver did not explode in his brain, it simply penetrated through it.
His eyes were filled with blood and tears, and he stared at Lite with his clear eyes resentfully, and kept muttering something in his mouth, as if he was pleading.
However, red blood overflowed from his mouth, making it impossible for him to speak a single word.
"You are the monster's... body, right?" Laite asked.
After the contact and battle between Qiao Yin and Sowkod, Laite finally lost the remaining sympathy for the children in his heart. He now pays more attention to whether he can win the battle or whether he will be in danger if he comes into contact with them.
.
In other words, in the battle between Yu Xinxin and the Lost One, he has lost a small part of his emotions as a human being.
"Gulu gulu... gulu gulu." The Crusted child in front of him made the sound of water flowing in the sewer.
Immediately afterwards, he was thrown out by Laite and lay on the concrete floor. After struggling twice, there was finally no movement.
"This monster is still trying to seduce me." Laite smiled bitterly and pulled the trigger of the pitch-black revolver in his hand again, aiming it at the head of the kid in front of him.
Her brown curly hair and childish look on her face do make her look pitiful. However, the fact that she is dressed like Crusted should be the information provided to me by the coat of arms. The "Daughter of the Mechanical Element" is related to Crusted.
The emblem that opens the stone gate of her divine realm must also be related.
The room just now... the bottom should be roughly in the style of the Krusted Empire, and there are portraits of their emperors, including the legendary [Order], the great Yin Fan 22nd.
This monster kid just said... His grandfather warned him to exercise more. His father had been ill for a long time and hoped that he would grow up quickly. But as far as I know in the history of Crusted, the three generations of emperors who have this kind of relationship should be
No.
Could it be that the prototype of this monster child did not serve as emperor, but died young? It happened to be reproduced here because of the connection between the two coats of arms? What is the connection between the "Heraldry of Tomorrow" and the "Heraldry of Tomorrow"?
It seems that most of the secret files of the Sequential Monster Foundation are factual statements. If the "Silence Advent" military operation fails, or Sogra's "Blood Night Ritual" succeeds, I will go to the Crusted Empire in the future.
, if you have the opportunity, you must learn about the "Heraldry of the Future" personally crafted by Yin Fan 22nd.
This monster kid...it's been a few minutes, he should have done something, right?
Laite stood thinking for several minutes.
As he expected, in the dim space composed of weak light, the body of the monster child in front of him was suddenly wrapped in a blue viscous liquid.
Then, the viscous liquid collapsed inward, like a wriggling slime, and completely swallowed up the Crusted child.
As a dazzling light flashed, except for the "black basketball" quietly "lying" under the wall, there was no trace of the Crusted child in front of Laite.
"Maybe this is a test, maybe it's also a kind of temptation for the sequential monsters. It seems that it's not far from the core position. That room... that so-called room should be right in front. It doesn't seem that far away. This
This pistol... I'll treat it as a gift from the monster. It can be used anyway, right? It's better than exhausting the magic source power in the body."
Laite rarely read aloud the process of talking to himself.
Immediately afterwards, he took the revolver in his hand, weighed it up and down a few times, and walked forward quickly.
"Winter, winter, winter, winter."
After three or two steps, Laite felt that the road under his feet had returned to the hollow metal plate it had been before. After walking for almost two minutes, a huge metal door stood erected directly in front of him.
Stopping and looking up, Laite saw that the metal door was almost ten meters high. Although it was much smaller than the door he saw when he left Sugra, it looked extremely gorgeous.
It seems that the craftsman who built the giant door poured all the luxury into the design from the beginning, using all the expensive materials he could find and imagine.
At the top of the giant door is a round "sun" more than one meter wide, made of gold and shining with a golden luster.
On the right is a moon, with silver-white brilliance emitting from the inside, shining brightly and seemingly never going out.
Surrounding the huge door are palm-sized diamonds, one half a meter apart. Under the intricate and colorful brilliance, they exude colorful light and are extremely dazzling.
In the very center is a scene of a huge ax and a huge sword fighting.
The giant ax is red and the giant sword is purple. Under the light caused by diffuse reflection, it looks particularly eerie, which is not the color that a normal palace should have.
But Laite only glanced at these decorations. He did not bother to look at these depressing parts, but focused his attention on a screen-like part about one meter high from the ground at the bottom of the door.
Taking two steps closer, Laite observed that the "screen" was only as wide as a human face, with nine black spots of "3 rows x 3 columns" neatly marked on it, and the top part of the "screen" was even written in the Zine Empire language.
The word "Crack" is written on it.
"It seems like this is the key to opening the giant door, right?" Laite guessed.
He stretched out his right arm and touched the bottom few black spots with his palm.
Immediately afterwards, the text at the top of the "screen" became distorted, changing from pure black to dark red, and the background of the "screen" also instantly turned into pure white.
A few seconds later, Laite heard a noisy sound of electricity. He stared at the twisted words with all his concentration. They turned into phrases written in the common language of the West Continent.
"Connect, one stroke, four lines." Laite translated silently.
"Use a stroke and four straight lines to connect these points? It's too simple. Although it is a puzzle problem, there are only two correct solutions." With an extremely confident smile, Laite stretched out his index finger and pressed harder.
Above the first black dot in the upper left corner.
Then, he swiped to the right, and a straight black line appeared on the "screen" as he swiped.
After connecting the three black dots at the top, Laite did not rush to connect the other black dots. Instead, he drew a part of the black line outward. Then, he connected the third black dot in the second row and the third row successively.
The second black spot.
Then, he connected the first black dot in the third row and the first black dot in the second row, returning to the original position.
YY
"last step."
As Laite said, he drew another stroke to the lower right and finished the last stroke.
After doing this, Laite took two steps back.
Immediately afterwards, the "screen" in front of him suddenly turned into a pure black color, and the ten-meter-long magnificent door was cut off from the middle with a gear pattern horizontally, revealing a wider and slightly dark room inside.
space.
"Another [Order] welcomes you."
A young and powerful voice came from directly in front of Laite.
After jogging forward a few steps, a cloud of green smoke suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Who are you? The true form of the alien water?" Laite held the gun in both hands and pointed it at the center of the smoke.
"If I am, or I am not, you will come here. My existence or my absence will not affect the operation of this world. But Mr. [Orderer], do you know? This profession is very rare, and you are
The second [Order] I met spanned two eras, and I just met you two."
The green smoke in front of him was filled with irrepressible joy. In front of Laite, the green smoke intertwined and changed, and actually transformed into a human form.
To be precise, he is a young man about the same age as Laite.
If you look carefully, you can see that he is wearing a military green coat, a black leather felt hat on his head, his lower body is in very standard military tactical trousers, and he wears a silver knight's sword at his waist.
Looking down, he saw that his shoes were green military boots, but they were embroidered with simple patterns of the sun and the moon. There was only one sun. Laite felt that he looked very much like what he had seen on the window of the Scottish City Library.
Those ones.
There was nothing special about his pair of brown eyes, and his face looked fair but full of vitality. He had a friendly smile and put his hands in his trouser pockets.
"I'll just take it as you. After all, there are no other living things here besides you and me, right?" Laite sneered and glanced at the young man.
"Then you can call me the Water of Strangeness. Having said that, the child just now is also me, but it was my state a long time ago. At that time, the Krusted Empire was not completely destroyed. Although it was affected by unintentional people,
The virus has invaded us, but we still persisted for a long time." Strange Water stared diagonally upward with his eyes and said melancholy.
"Wend mentioned this period of history to me, and he also said that the Krusted Empire made all its efforts in the end." Laite looked directly at the alien water with regret in his eyes.
"We lost the southern plains, the Aventelai Icefield, the most important resource and industrial city of Shayin Pagoda, and more than 70% of the country. In the end, our royal family could only huddle around Binglin City.
In an area surrounded by a barrier formed by several mountains, the remaining humans were abandoned with great difficulty. No, they were not just abandoned, but they were executed by luck. After all of them were killed, they established a federation."
As Alien Water spoke, his youthful face became ferocious.
When Laite looked at him, his face was filled with a mixture of anger, resentment and fear.
Then, he raised his head and stared at the chaotic top space of the machine for a few seconds, then lowered his head and groaned in pain for a few seconds.
"But it is undeniable that Crusted is a great country. It has a strong economy, a prosperous culture, a powerful military, and prosperous science and technology. Any human being who wants to forget her is stupid, but anyone who wants to try to resurrect her
Human beings are all unintelligent, aren't they?" Laite commented.
"Forget it." The strange water nodded slightly, sighed, took two steps forward, closed the distance with Laite, and said:
"You just met Saukod, right? The orc who has been trapped here for a thousand years. Your body is now filled with a lot of his energy, which is enough to prove that you have power." The strange water said
He made a gesture of clenching his fist to show his strength.
"The questions you asked when you entered the giant machine just now, the questions you entered here respectively tested your understanding of philosophy, history, culture and mathematics. I think, at the most basic level, you have the ability to become a true [Order]."
Mian Zhishui added.
"The real [Order]?" Laite asked curiously.
"It is the level of being able to learn or copy the abilities of other professions at order level 3 or above. Before this, [Order] did not have any superpowers. If he had not possessed the power of magic, he would probably be inferior to ordinary people." The Strange Side
Water explained:
"However, there is a mutually reinforcing relationship between upper-level professions that sometimes exists, and sometimes is not so obvious. For professionals who have come to 'order' through card divination, after coming to the conclusion of 'persistence'
People will be your best guides and catalysts."
Before Laite could ask for specific details, Alien Water stretched out two white palms.
After lightly rubbing his index and middle fingers, two cards with mainly dark colors appeared in his hands.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Order." Alien Water held the card in his left hand, took two steps forward and handed it to Laite.
"The man wearing the crown holds a sharp sword and inserts it into the skull. Yes, this is the content of the card I saw when Natasha and Aaron were doing divination." Laite smiled bitterly, thinking of Natasha.
Sarah, that "crazy woman" [Goddess of Love].
"This is, hold on." Alien Water handed over the card in his right hand.
After receiving the card, Laite looked at it extremely carefully.
The top of this card is written with "2" in Roman numerals, and the word "hochi" is written below in the Chinese language used for divination. If the meaning can be compared, the translation of this word is "persistence", that's right.
.
Then looking up, Laite saw a muscular man with his upper body naked.
His body is a healthy wheat color, and his lower body is wearing white trousers. He is pushing a huge round stone with all his strength on the slope towards the top of the mountain.
Not far above his head is a blazing sun, and a dark creature is hidden on the far left of the picture. It is staring at the man with its scarlet eyes wide open, seeming to laugh at his meaningless behavior.
"The meaning of 'persistence' is that when faced with something that others think is meaningless, a wise person can understand the true value of the matter and create his own future with constant persistence. It corresponds to
The upper-level profession is [Watcher]. The people who stick to the top of the mountain watch for the arrival of light. When the light comes, 'order' comes. So, Mr. [Orderer]," the voice of the alien water began to become
Soften, twist, weaken:
"My power is indeed about to be exhausted. I should not have existed in the world in the first place. Since the death of the great emperor Yin Fan 22nd, I have been like a 'watchman' waiting for another [Order]
]'s arrival. I've been waiting for it, I've been waiting for it."
As the alien water shouted emotionally, his body completely turned into a squirming ball of water, but he still said enthusiastically:
"I know that the 'Emblem of Tomorrow' will no longer support me after meeting [The Orderer]. I have no regrets. I existed. After telling you this information, I completed my mission. Look, [The Orderer]
Sir, the 'Crest of Tomorrow' has consciously entered your hands. Here, there will no longer be an alien plane under this lake, and you are destined to become a savior-like existence."
"Savior??" Laite repeated in surprise.
Before he could continue to ask for more information about the strange water, endless blue water suddenly poured out of the room in front of him and completely enveloped him.
He saw everything around him turn blue, become chaotic, and finally turn into pitch black.
…
It seemed like days had passed, it seemed like centuries had passed.
When Laite was illuminated by the dazzling sunlight, he finally woke up from the soft soil.
He supported his heavy body and looked around. The halls and rooms, the world under the lake, the huge machinery, Soukode, and the alien water all lost traces, as if they had never appeared.
It should be noon now, and he was still in the Donusk ruins.
Blocking the harsh sunlight with his hands, Laite looked around.
The steel wall surrounding the lake has disappeared. Although the huge dilapidated buildings and the "Volga Tower" in the distance still maintain dilapidated and mottled traces, patches of green vegetation have covered them.
This city is regaining its natural vitality.
He opened his palm and looked down. The palm-sized piece was made of steel. The front was engraved with a sunflower pattern in a circle. In the center was a simple figure of the sun. The "Emblem of Tomorrow" reflected the sun.
of brilliance.
After putting the coat of arms into his coat pocket, Laite took a few steps forward unconsciously. Suddenly, he tripped over a hard object.
After standing up and brushing off the dirt on his body, he saw that the thing that tripped him was none other than the "Bear Bear" pistol he had always carried with him, and his khaki military backpack.
"It seems that everything is going well, as if someone is deliberately guiding me to become the so-called 'savior'." Laite smiled and looked into the distance.
