The erosion stirs up the windless storm, and the wailing ghosts are drawn into it. They are like hundreds of circling crows, playing the ominous sound in everyone's heart.
"William! Tell me the details of your experiment."
Hearing Lorenzo's words, Merlin immediately quickened his pace. He tried to contain his emotions and asked calmly.
"I regard the abnormal erosion that caused all this as a disease, and the demon is the patient affected by the disease. I am thinking about how to cure it... As I said before, find the inhibitory force, the shepherd
, but obviously I was wrong."
After learning the truth, William was almost crushed by this cruel fact.
"The shepherd is for the benefit of the entire flock. In its eyes, we restless lambs are as worthy of death as hungry wolves. It will deal with us. This is what happened in the Red News incident. A force that we don't understand suddenly comes."
William became emotional as he spoke.
"Just like now, the intensity of erosion continues to rise. They appear out of thin air and destroy the surrounding materials. But it is more like an equivalent exchange. It uses the surrounding materials as the basis, plunders them and constructs its own entity out of thin air.
As for more details, I don’t know.”
William took a breath and continued.
"At that time, I was directly exposed to a high-intensity corrosive environment. Many people collapsed and turned into monsters. Some people were still resisting tenaciously, but it was useless. I was one of them. I only had about a few dollars at the time.
I had ten seconds to think about all this, and as for the appearance of those shepherds, I only got a glimpse of them."
"What do they look like?" Merlin asked.
"Angel……"
William recalled the past that should not be recalled, with a somewhat sacred expression on his face, but as soon as he confided a little, he was interrupted by Lorenzo.
"They are not considered angels, they only have a sacred appearance. They are similar to a kind of spiritual life and cannot be completely killed. The appearance they see is just a replaceable body for them."
William looked straight at Lorenzo, and Merlin on the side was also stunned. He asked belatedly.
"You already knew all this?"
"Almost? It's just that William made me more sure of this? This is also the reason why I warned you at that time..." Lorenzo said.
"Because you've already encountered them and survived."
Merlin felt that the situation was getting more complicated? And it was getting more interesting.
"Knowledge is cursed? Merlin, you know this very well. It should not exist within the [Fence], and we should not cross the [Border]?" Lorenzo said? "If this hadn't happened, I would
I still hesitate to tell you this... not everyone can face such a monster."
"Are you ready?"
At this time, William interrupted the conversation between the two. After a brief surprise, he easily accepted this? After all, William was also the chief technical officer? He and Merlin have the same reason.
"Although it's hard to believe, judging from the results of my experiment, the shepherd is protecting humans, and the way it protects is to block all information transmission, which means that all those who are aware of it may be affected by it.
kill.
This is why no one has really understood the demon for so many years. I regard it as an information threshold. When the information you know reaches a certain value, it will cross the [fence] and trigger the shepherd."
There was no so-called fear on Merlin's expressionless face? There was only extreme indifference, like a machine.
"That means we are all likely to die now? Is that right?"
"Maybe I will become a madman like me...but it doesn't look like I have a long time to live? Doesn't it?"
William coughed hard a few times as he spoke, and red blood spit out. He looked at his bound arm, and the flesh and blood under it began to squirm slowly, as if he would soon be unable to maintain his human form.
"That's too bad...Lorenzo, you knew this early on, so are you capable of dealing with them?"
Merlin said and looked at the heavily armed Lorenzo. The demon hunter in front of him had known this for a long time, but due to the existence of the information threshold, he could not tell Merlin this and could not assign this disaster to anyone. Until now.
Merlin knew about William's experiment, and he revealed it.
"Probably. Although I can't completely kill those things, I can at least destroy their bodies, but they will always come back. I don't know how things will develop after that."
Lorenzo has some confidence in these.
Lorenzo has always been in a dilemma. He knows too many secrets, and he cannot share these secrets with anyone. That will only drag others into the disaster. He can only do it alone.
Enjoy this fear.
But something was different now. He didn't know whether he was gloating over his misfortune or something else. Looking at Merlin, he suddenly felt that he had a comrade-in-arms.
"Then I'll leave it to you, and I will try my best to find a way to pass on this information before being killed, in a way that the shepherds can't peep."
Merlin had no expression, but his current enthusiasm could be heard from his words.
Lorenzo was not surprised by Merlin like this. He was an alchemist and a scholar. Knowledge was extremely precious to him, and the knowledge that could free mankind from the curse was above all else.
Although Merlin looks very cold, under this cold body, there is an extremely passionate heart.
"Think about it carefully, William, do you have any other information to say? Because of you, we may have to suffer another red news incident. Many people will die. I hope they can die more valuable."
Merlin put his hands on William's shoulders as he spoke, his voice stern and pleading.
William's pupils dilated slightly. He looked troubled and his expression was ferocious. The disordered memory and erosion were affecting him all the time. He almost ran out of time.
"Victorian Royal Family."
What did he think of?
"Yes, the Victoria royal family! They must also know these things. The reason why I conduct experiments privately is that they continue to veto my proposals. From a profit perspective, my proposals are completely in line with the goals of the purification agency. If I can investigate
If we understand and use the power of the shepherds, this will be a great victory for us against the demons, but they did not agree."
William's words trembled and his speed increased.
"Yes, they must know something, so it makes sense. They know the existence of the shepherds, and they also know the knowledge of these curses. In order to prevent the disaster from spreading, they took one step ahead of the shepherds and stopped us.
But why weren't they attacked by the shepherds? Or did they just know some vague information, too vague to trigger the information threshold?"
William laughed wildly, marveling at the ingenuity of all this design.
"This is an extremely perfect [fence]. Those who know about it cannot tell others about it. Even they themselves are unable to protect themselves. Everything related to it will be worn away bit by bit until no one knows about it anymore."
A perfect closed loop, hiding those ulterior secrets in the darkness.
“What exactly is behind [the fence]?”
William asked.
There was a startling thunder in the void in response to William's question. Alarms sounded one after another, and shocking erosion came. Chaotic electric currents could be seen swimming between the walls of the well, and then black thunderballs emerged out of thin air, and they decomposed instantly.
It destroyed the surrounding materials and devoured it like a greedy evil ghost.
"Get ready for battle! Everyone!"
Lorenzo shouted loudly.
"The enemy cannot be killed, but its body can be destroyed. Their main properties are similar to those of witchers. To be precise, we witchers are similar to them, but these are not important. Don't show mercy and use full firepower!"
Lorenzo had thought about such a day. He would lead the mortals to fight against these weird things. But he didn't expect everything to happen so quickly. He was a little surprised by how fast it was. But thinking about it, it's not bad. The end is coming. This is a disaster.
On the eve of , in any case, there was not much time left for Lorenzo.
The surge of thunder stopped, and after the silence, pairs of white iron wings unfolded from it. Under them, the ruthless angel opened his eyes.
Shepherd? Silent one? Or some so-called watcher?
It doesn't matter what they are at this moment, they are enemies, and enemies can only be destroyed.
"This... what the hell is this!"
Above the dome, Shrike could hardly believe what he saw before his eyes. The extremely solid walls of the well were filled with huge holes one after another under the emergence of thunderballs. The metal edges of these holes were burned red, and the materials in them were
All disappeared, replaced by those holy angels.
This is a very reliable defense facility of the Perpetual Pump. Neither the Original Sin Armor nor the demons can capture it, but it collapsed the moment the thunderball appeared.
"They are not ghosts, but enemies, shrike, kill them all."
Percival, who was jumping abnormally, calmed down at this moment. She moved the muzzle of her rifle, aimed at an angel who had just walked out of the thunderball, and pulled the trigger.
The roaring gunfire sounded, and the huge steel shell ejected with blazing residual heat. At the same time, a scorching trajectory erupted from the muzzle of the lance. The heavy warhead tore through the air and made a sharp scream. You can see
The dark red light then fell on the angel and completely exploded.
The kinetic energy instantly overturned the angel, and the exploding steel cut into its body like a thousand sharp swords, nailing it to the ground. The entire body was exploded, and the blood-red flesh and broken bones could be seen underneath.
Logically speaking, it should be completely torn into pieces, but countless red threads pulled the pieces of meat together just right, preventing the body from dying completely.
"Get William out of here, Merlin!"
Lorenzo raised the Winchester and fired at the angels. Now a guy like Merlin would die if he stayed here.
"No, I can't leave yet. If this thing is really so harmful, all of us have to stay in the workshop."
Merlin knew very well that the people in the workshop were now restless lambs. Now they had to unite all their strength to kill the shepherd, otherwise running away would only lead to the death of more innocent people.
"Then stay away! There isn't enough fighting space here!"
While Lorenzo shouted, violent gunshots came from the dome, and the lancers began to fire continuously. Each shot was so heavy, like throwing an iron spear, and each blow could cause heavy damage to the angel.
, but unfortunately it is impossible to kill them completely.
Shrike also realized this, those spider web-like red threads were healing them, so the sword dancer suddenly jumped down from the high platform, and during the fall, he took off the armor and fire gun from the weapon rack.
Pull the trigger and a blazing stream of fire spreads across the battlefield.
The molten molten iron divided the battlefield at the bottom of the workshop, briefly blocking the progress of the angels. The hot molten iron fell on their bodies, and their flesh and blood collapsed and healed, but they seemed to be unable to feel the pain and performed like a machine.
Order.
This can be called a sacred scene. The holy angels came bathed in golden molten iron, like statues coming to life. Spiral spikes pierced out from their palms. But before they could attack, the huge black
The shadows fell to the ground, and the sharp giant blade cut them in half.
"Suppress them!"
Lorenzo shouted.
He was like an elusive ghost, walking among the swords lined with angels. The nail sword tore apart one body after another, and there were countless scratches and wounds on the armor.
To be honest, Lorenzo felt that the current situation was not good. They could not leave the workshop until the fighting stopped. There were not only soldiers here, but also many scientific researchers like Merlin. They were very precious and needed priority protection.
As for these enemies, although Lorenzo has fought against them, he has never completely killed them... He may have the ability to kill them. After all, it is the will of the Silent ones that controls the body, and Lorenzo can try
Fight from the [gap].
Such thoughts disappeared in a flash, and Watson's warning came to mind again.
Lorenzo hesitated, but at this moment of hesitation, a miserable roar sounded.
A lone medical staff knelt on the ground. He grabbed his head, cried and shouted something. Then his back began to bulge, and then sharp bone spurs protruded from it, tearing the entire body apart.
He took on a ferocious appearance. In this highly corrosive environment, he was transformed into a demon with the appearance of angels.
This is a perfect closed loop. In order not to leak the danger, they cannot leave the workshop before repelling the angels. This is a line of defense and a prison. The longer they stay here, the easier it is for the will of mortals to be corrupted.
how should I do it?
When he was at Maluri Port, Lorenzo also caused the arrival of these monsters, but he didn't know the outcome, but he felt that Lawrence would not die in their hands, so they should leave after reaching certain conditions.
go.
Yes, it should be like this, it's like they attacked Lawrence first, not themselves. He was obviously the culprit that caused all this, but Lawrence took most of the firepower for him.
"Information threshold...priority..."
Lorenzo thought of something, turned his eyes sharply to the side, and shouted.
