Eve huddled in the corner, raising her head and looking at the lights on the ceiling that were shaking due to vibration.
what happened?
Everyone felt the shock just now. In this relatively spacious safe house, some patients screamed under the shock.
Not long ago, although I don't know what happened, out of value considerations, some patients who were extremely valuable for research were transported here first, including Eve and her neurotic friends.
Those psychopaths were tied to the hospital bed and screaming, some were shouting that there was an earthquake, and some were calling for their mother.
Medical staff tried their best to comfort the patients, while soldiers with guns guarded the perimeter.
Something bad happened...
The medical staff comforted the patient and said that this was not an injection, but just a spring outing. After hearing this, the psychopaths laughed happily.
Sometimes Eve is a little envious of these guys. For fools, there is no need to think too much about life. But Eve is not a fool, and she cannot become a fool. She is the only one among these patients who has normal reason, and
She also vaguely understood what happened.
This is Black Mountain Hospital, an important place guarded by the purification agency. Judging from the violent shaking just now, it seems that only two things can happen here.
Experimental accident, or enemy attack.
It's not clear what happened specifically, but judging from this speculation, no matter what it was, it was undoubtedly not a good thing, but then Eve felt that familiar feeling.
A strange cold feeling pierced her heart like a sharp sword, her pupils dilated slightly, and cold sweat fell along the tip of her nose.
"demon……"
Suddenly the entire safe house fell silent, and the noisy patients seemed to have lost the ability to speak, and just stared in the direction of nothingness with their eyes wide open.
The medical staff were frightened by this sudden change, but then a low murmur sounded.
"demon……"
"demon……"
"demon……"
At this moment, every patient was whispering about the weird monster repeatedly. Some looked frightened, some looked angry, and some had lost their minds and passed out.
Eve watched all this blankly, and it was only then that she realized what was going on.
These patients are not ordinary patients. They were all soldiers of the purification agency. They were admitted to the Black Mountain Hospital due to the erosion of demons. Some of them recovered and retired, while others went completely crazy.
They have dedicated everything to the purification agency, which is why they are given priority for protection.
But now there seems to be a weak sanity awakening from the madness. These madmen have noticed the deadly enemy for a long time and fell into the nightmare again.
"The enemy is coming! Soldiers!"
The long calm was broken. Old Cole, who was tied to the bed, screamed loudly, while soldier Gavin clutched his head and trembled violently as if he had seen some terrible nightmare.
…
The muzzles of the guns above the ground were constantly spitting out fireworks, illuminating the iron-walled original sin armors. Heavy rain poured on the cold armor, and the abominable monsters were reflected in the shiny mirror.
The sound of breathing mixed with the noisy sound of electricity echoed in the birdcage. No one expected this sudden change. Even if some people vaguely expected it, they never imagined that it would all happen so fast.
Lan Jade and Swift, who participated in the experiment, both drew their weapons, and the rest were sent to other areas of the scientific research area. Only the two of them could be considered combat effective here.
"It's time for Arthur to give the order," Merlin said.
In the previous plan, they considered what to do if the new religious group attacked, but now Lawrence's remnants have joined in, with a large scale and unknown purpose, completely disrupting the preparations for the purge agency.
According to Arthur's previous expectations, fighting the witcher would not cause large-scale damage, as long as the birdcage was guarded, but now came the disorderly demons, and no one knew where these damn things would appear from, and
Where did they come from? But what everyone knows is that all the demons must die here, leaving no one behind.
"It's time for us to evacuate. If we get together, we will only be beheaded."
Merlin said again that he had seen Lorenzo's power. These demon hunters all have extremely strong single-person combat capabilities. Now these people are simply unable to resist a demon hunter awakened by secret blood.
"Do you want...to terminate the experiment?"
Abigail asked, she had never experienced such a battlefield first-hand, everything now was unfamiliar to her, she didn’t know what to do, she could only leave the decision-making power to these battle-experienced people.
Guy.
After a short silence, Arthur finally spoke.
"Merlin, Abigail, you two have the highest priority to evacuate. Blue Jade and Swift, you take them away and find a way to escape from the Black Mountain Hospital. I will join Gawain and command the battle."
As the core scholars of the Purge Agency, the lives of Merlin and Abigail are obviously more important than the soldiers. As long as they leave alive, the Purge Agency will have the possibility to continue to move forward. Once they are killed, this will be of great significance to the Purge Agency.
The agency will be severely damaged.
"No, Arthur, no matter who comes, we people are just their secondary targets. Their real target is Lorenzo...the pseudo-Holy Grail."
Merlin rejected Arthur's proposal.
"Lorenzo must give priority to evacuating here. Once the other party knows that Lorenzo is not here, they have no need to continue attacking."
Arthur was silent, then picked up the communicator and asked.
"How is the battle going? Gawain."
After the harsh sound of electricity, Gawain's voice sounded. His voice sounded very calm, and seemed extremely reliable despite the roar of the demon.
Gawain is such a person, rather than a knight, he is a simple soldier who simply executes every order of the commander.
"Still within the control range, the enemies are basically ordinary demons. Although the number is huge, we have a slight advantage with the current firepower. As long as we maintain this, we can annihilate all the enemies."
This is rare good news, the defense line has not been broken down yet.
"Where's Percival?"
"I was approaching the scientific research area, and the demon blocked the road. We were struggling to clear the way."
The demon's roar and gunshots came from the communicator, and the crooked Percival became rarely reliable at the critical moment. Arthur looked at the others and said.
"Merlin, you are right, but among the enemies, there is someone who carries inferior secret blood. All our patients were turned into monsters by him, and here... there are more patients in the critical area..."
"Do you think they will turn those people into monsters?" Merlin asked.
"I just guessed that this would be the case, otherwise this attack would be too ridiculous, wouldn't it? It can be controlled by Gawain's firepower alone... There must be something else waiting for us, and a new religious order..."
"Most of the patients are in the safe house," Abigail said at this time, "There should be no need to worry about them for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Arthur's eyes changed, becoming more gloomy and dark.
"No, never underestimate your enemies, especially those related to Lawrence.
The patients are concentrated in the safe house. If the defenses are intact, they will be safe, but once they are breached, the patients have nowhere to escape, and those patients themselves are victims of erosion. They are more likely to transform into monsters and become our enemies...
Evacuate those patients, evacuate them all."
Arthur said and looked at Abigail and Merlin.
"You too, evacuate together. There is no time to wait for Percival. Blue Jade Swift and I will assist you in evacuating before the demons break through Gawain's defenses."
"Where's Lorenzo?"
Abigail didn't understand why Arthur didn't mention the witcher, since he was probably the main target.
"Lorenzo..."
Hearing this name, Arthur couldn't help but recall what Lorenzo said to him before.
Lorenzo hasn't lost yet...so what does he want to do? What else can he do in this situation?
"No, don't worry about this demon hunter. Just remove the shackles and let him escape on his own. He is the least of these people to worry about. It's just impossible to contain him again... We may never know the truth again.
What exactly is the Holy Grail?"
If Arthur were Lorenzo, then he would have fled all the way, leaving Old Dunling and Inverg. Judging from Lorenzo's ability, it would not be difficult for him.
How to do it?
"Wait...Lorenzo!"
Merlin shouted suddenly, and everyone's eyes moved away. At some point, the flashing light had been extinguished, and Lorenzo seemed to have lost consciousness, with his head hanging down and making no sound.
"The plan has changed. It looks like we have to take Lorenzo with us to evacuate."
Merlin said as he picked up the previously printed data and then said to Arthur.
"Let's take action! Arthur, Eve is also in the safe house. As the final product of the Rangers plan, she is of extraordinary value."
"What about you?" Arthur asked.
"I have to close the birdcage and drag Lorenzo out... This damn machine is a pain in the ass to start and a pain in the ass to shut down."
Merlin said to Arthur, shaking his hand vigorously, and with a crisp sound, a folding knife was held in his hand.
"Go quickly, Arthur, don't worry, in my time, swordsmanship was a compulsory course for alchemists."
Then he looked at the witcher in the birdcage, and Merlin's voice contained no emotion.
"And there's something I want to talk to Lorenzo about."
…
This feeling is a bit strange and familiar, as if I have fallen into the deep sea and been surrounded by the slightly cool and dark blue water.
The broadcast sounds and vibrations were blocked by this invisible ocean and became blurred. To Lorenzo, they sounded like meaningless babbles in a dream.
As the machine started, the intense pain at first gradually faded away, and at the same time, the world in Lorenzo's eyes continued to lose its light, until finally everything turned dark.
It seemed as if I had fallen into the deep seabed. There was untouchable darkness everywhere, endless darkness as far as the eye could see.
"Ah...it's so dark..."
Lorenzo suddenly exclaimed.
Only he and that damn chair were left in the darkness. In this long darkness, human senses also became blurred. It seemed that only a few minutes had passed, and it seemed that many years had passed.
Just when the darkness was about to return to eternity, a golden thread split the darkness from top to bottom. The light made Lorenzo wake up a little. He was a little curious, got up and walked towards the light, and as Lorenzo
As you get closer, the light begins to expand and become bigger and bigger.
No...it was a door that opened slowly, and the so-called light was continuously overflowing from the cracks in the door.
Lorenzo pushed open the dusty door and stepped into the light.
All the coldness and darkness were driven away, and the warm sunshine shone down on my face. I slowly raised my head, and behind the window was the extremely blue sky.
He stared at all this blankly. After a long time, a smile appeared on his stiff face.
Lorenzo had not seen such a beautiful sky for a long time. He had lived in Old Dunling for too long and the sky was always gloomy. He had almost forgotten what the normal world looked like.
My eyes moved around the room, and I noticed that it was a cozy cabin. The room was not big, but it had all the things it needed. Judging from the clothes stacked on the side, it was a boy's room.
Lorenzo was somewhat familiar with all this, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before. At this time, there was a sound outside the door. After hesitating for a while, he opened the door and Lorenzo walked in the direction of the sound.
This is a mansion hidden in the mountains and forests. It is covered by the shade of trees, with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. It can be regarded as a fairyland on earth. In Lorenzo's opinion, this is really suitable for retirement and retirement. It is better than the ghost of old Dunling.
The place is many times stronger.
But the strange thing is that Lorenzo can't see anyone here. It's so beautiful that it feels unexpected, like an exquisite dream.
He continued to move forward, and the sound gradually became clearer to the sound of rapid sword swings.
It was a boy wielding a sword. Lorenzo looked at him from a distance. The boy had a face that seemed to be weak, but every time he drew his sword, the sword moved extremely quickly, like falling thunder. At this time,
Lorenzo could see a hint of ruthlessness in the boy's expression.
He doesn't seem to be as cowardly as he seems, on the contrary, he seems to be a violent child, but he doesn't realize it.
Everything seemed harmonious until sudden footsteps sounded from behind Lorenzo.
As if he had been discovered by a monster, Lorenzo strangely lost all his strength and could not move. He stood there like a sculpture until the voice approached him and then passed him.
It was an old man. He was walking slowly with a cane. Time left scars on his face that were as dry as bark. He seemed to be unable to see Lorenzo and continued to move forward. The boy seemed to have noticed the old man.
When he arrived, he stopped swinging his sword and walked towards the old man.
"Good morning, sir."
he shouted while waving.
Lorenzo Medici responded to the boy with as much of a smile as he could muster.
