The melodious whistle interrupted the conversation between Shrike and Lan Jade. Looking at the stunning profile, Shrike lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
The woman in front of you is so mysterious. You think you know her, but that is just a beautiful disguise. Just like her codename Blue Jade, the gorgeous kingfisher soaring in the forest will not be fooled by anyone.
Caught, it is free, like the wind.
"Looks like our guests have arrived."
Shrike looked out the window, where the whistle was coming from.
"guest?"
Lan Jade has no idea who would come to this damn place as a guest. It's cold and dilapidated and there are tons of weapons and soldiers. Even criminals are not willing to touch this place.
"It was my good detective, Lorenzo Holmes, who Kestrel radioed earlier and who was also in the car."
Looking back at Blue Jade, Shrike said.
"Is this the Lorenzo Holmes I learned about?" Lan Jade asked.
Shrike nodded, confirming what Lan Jade said.
Thinking about this detective, Shrike had a headache. He didn't want to reveal his identity other than "gang boss". After all, Lorenzo was too smart, and these alone were enough for him to guess a lot.
The next task is still so important. Lorenzo is a dangerous and uncontrollable item for Shrike. He is a sharp double-edged sword. If he doesn't use it properly, he will also cut himself.
"So what do you do with him next?"
Lan Jade looked behind Shrike, in the direction in which the Glory was heading.
"I'll leave it to you. My suggestion is to catch him, knock him out immediately, then tie him up with a rope and throw him anywhere. Even if you can't kill him, you can still torment him for a while."
He has a deep understanding of Lorenzo's difficult Shrike. Ever since he quietly sneaked into the Shrike's side after learning acting, he has been extremely wary of Lorenzo.
"why me?"
Lan Jade doesn't understand.
"It's very simple, I don't want to see that lunatic." Shrike looked disgusted.
"Well...actually, I think you have to meet him."
Looking out the window behind Shrike, Lan Jade raised her hand and pointed in the dark direction.
The shrike seemed to realize something and turned his head. Under the dark night, he saw the burning python rushing along the railway track. The blazing white fireworks were dragged by the strong wind for an extremely long time, as if they were carved on the earth with a burning paintbrush.
.
What's even scarier than these is that the burning train is still blowing its whistle, like a happy Thomas.
"Everybody move!"
As Shrike roared in the communication channel, all the soldiers on the abandoned platform started to move. As the Glorious approached, the Geiger counter began to make a harsh sound, and the distance between the two kept getting closer.
, so the sound became more and more violent and finally turned into a long scream.
…
"Looks like we're getting somewhere."
Looking at the little glimmers of light in the darkness, which were the electric lights on the soldiers' iron helmets, Kestrel was right, there was indeed a mysterious army here, and now they were ready to attack.
"No...we have to go back!"
Looking at the burning carriage and the demons that kept pouring up and dying, Kestrel remembered something and looked a little panicked.
"What's wrong? As long as I'm here, they can't get past it."
Lorenzo raised his sword blade and pointed at the burning carriage in front of him, extremely confident, but it was obvious that this was not what Kestrel said, and he roared.
"I'm referring to them! They are carrying new weapons from the Mechanical Institute. If we stand on the roof of the car, we will be beaten into sieves!"
Before he finished speaking, it was like daylight shining on the train. This was a strong light coming from the highest point of the platform. Under the light, the twisted demon had no way to hide.
Everyone felt a slight sense of suffocation at that moment. The monsters were as dense as a swarm of ants, and their bodies were still burning with white flames, and they roared greedily towards the warm flesh and blood creatures.
"Fire!"
That was an order from Commander Shrike.
So all the soldiers raised the new weapons in their hands, to be precise, they were weapons against demons.
Where the stars rose, dense gunshots were heard, and hundreds of red projectiles set off blazing trails in the night sky, heading directly towards here after a short flight.
Lorenzo had almost no time to think. He grabbed the kestrel and the two of them jumped out of the carriage. At this time, a large part of the projectiles had already reached the carriage.
It was a flaming bullet that burned violently when it hit the demon's body. Unlike Lorenzo's mysterious pure flame, it seemed to be just a simple flame, but it could reach extreme high temperatures in an instant.
The people in the carriage were also aware of the danger. The door was opened, and the two of them climbed in without stopping at all. Then a barrage of fire rain poured out instantly, falling like acid rain, and then left behind on the solid steel.
Melting red-hot craters.
Eve in the carriage clung to the armrest on the side. She could only hear a sharp whistling sound, and then countless banging sounds came from outside the iron plate of the carriage, one after another, as if countless craftsmen were hammering.
On the carriage.
Suddenly the temperature in the carriage began to heat up, and everyone felt the slightest bit of heat.
On the platform not far away, heavily armed soldiers opened fire on the train. After attacking the carriages to no avail, the demons shifted their targets to the soldiers on the platform. They roared and came along the railway, but
They all died on the road under the dense rain of fire. Even if there was a lucky person who crossed the defense line, he would be killed by the shrike's silver spear.
The roars of demons and gunshots were mixed together, like a battlefield in hell.
Wherever the blazing projectiles hit, whether it was steel or bodies, they were dissolved under the extreme high temperature.
This is the power of technology. If there is a god of all technologies, soldiers are praying to him every time they pull the trigger.
"So what kind of weapon is that?"
In the carriage, Lorenzo wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt as if he was surviving a disaster. The flaming bullets could even melt steel. Once hit, the consequences would be disastrous.
"A work from the Mechanical Institute, thermite rifle."
Kestrel was also panting heavily. The air in the car was hotter than ever before. The already closed space and the burning car body had already caused some people to fall into coma.
"You can think of it as a thermite that can be fired. A igniter is installed on the muzzle of the gun. Thermite reaction is completed during the firing process. When it hits the target, it can directly release a large amount of heat energy, and it can melt through even heavy armor."
The history of human science and technology is a history of the evolution of weapons, which are constantly improving and iterating in terms of lethality.
"Damn it, is this why you won the Glorious War?"
What a damn weapon. Lorenzo didn't know what to say for a moment. He knew that the pressure of war would force a country to progress, but he never thought it would progress so quickly.
"No, we only use it to kill monsters."
As the kestrel's voice sounded in the darkness, a metal object pressed on Lorenzo's chest.
"Mr. Holmes, I hope you can cooperate next."
The brothers who had been together through life and death just now, Kestrel jumped back after such a long time, or in other words, he was planning to do this from the beginning.
"How heartless. Without me, you would die outside."
"One code, one code, and I will intercede for you...at least it will make your life under supervision more comfortable."
The situation changes rapidly.
"So what are you going to do? Do you think a normal weapon can kill me?"
When Lorenzo ignited the Pure Flame, he no longer had anything to hide. The witcher's glow was unleashed in the night, expelling all the demons. His identity had been exposed, but there was nothing to hide.
"I know, but you are too confident. Is it because of the secret blood technology of the Demon Hunting Order?"
Kestrel stared intently at Lorenzo's reaction in the darkness. He thought Lorenzo would have some emotional fluctuations, anger or shock, but there was nothing. He remained absolutely rational.
"You seem to know a lot."
He didn't care at all about his identity being exposed.
"Yes, unlike the cult, we don't have the miraculous secret blood technology, so we can only work hard to develop technology, and this is our product. Even without the secret blood, we can still fight against demons."
"Are you showing off?"
"No, I just want you to be more honest."
Lorenzo didn't resist, he remained delicately silent, as if thinking about something, until the girl stood up holding the revolver.
"It looks like we've maintained a dangerous balance."
Eve combed her sweat-soaked hair back and raised the silver revolver to the back of Kestrel's head.
In her opinion, this car was filled with inexplicable people. There was no sign of Yin Erweg's army, but it had deadly weapons, and they were also connected to demons, which made Eve have to be vigilant.
Since that crazy night, she has been like a young deer in the forest, constantly being hunted by a group of hunters from the dark. Except for Lorenzo, Eve will not trust anyone in a short time.
"So can we all put the guns down and talk about it?"
At this time, Lorenzo said helplessly. The temperature in the carriage had not yet dropped, and every word he spoke felt like exhaustion.
"You can actually talk outside."
Another voice sounded, and the heavy iron door opened from the outside, and the cold wind poured in, causing everyone covered in sweat to shiver.
The man was not wearing a mask, his expression was solemn, and he stood outside the gate with a weapon in his hand. Behind him was the burning and messy battlefield.
Lorenzo was stunned for a moment, and then said a little bit shamelessly.
"Shrike, I always thought you wore the mask because you were too ugly. It doesn't look too bad at first glance!"
Shrike didn't seem to be in the mood to talk to Lorenzo, he whispered through gritted teeth.
"I really don't want to see you here, Lorenzo Holmes."
