In the dark and disorderly world, chaotic voices echoed, different genders, different age groups, different emotions... they roared together, hitting Lorenzo's mind hard.
Lorenzo heard the sound of collapse again, and the darkness gradually cracked, revealing absolute nothingness.
He stretched out his hand and struggled hard, but Lorenzo was like a drowning man, everything was in vain. He began to lose consciousness and gradually turned into a numb corpse.
There is light falling.
The gorgeous world exploded before our eyes.
Lorenzo took a sharp breath and bounced off the ground like a slingshot. At the same time, layers of dense armor overlapped to protect his body and add a sense of security.
This is a useless move. Lorenzo knows very well that no matter how thick the armor is, it can't resist the invasion from the [gap]. This is the human instinct.
Lorenzo still held the staff and sword tightly in his hand, which made Lorenzo feel more relaxed. He looked at the ruins around him, searching for traces of Roger.
But there was nothing left in the ruins. Except for Lorenzo, most of the people fell to the ground and were in a coma. A few people were barely conscious. They looked in pain, tried to get up, and then fell down.
The demons also fell. They turned into corpses that could not even breathe. Their flesh and blood were still warm, but their death was destined.
"Roger..."
Sweeping his fiery eyes, Lorenzo carefully sensed the changes in erosion, but suddenly found that the erosion around him had dropped sharply, and the monsters on the side had lost their erosion. If he hadn't been able to see the monster's ferocious body,
Everyone will doubt whether it is a demon.
Unknown forces suppress erosion, and Lorenzo is no exception. The chaotic voice in his mind becomes louder.
He half-knelt down and pressed his head hard. The dark armor began to bulge inward, and countless spikes pierced the skin, causing severe pain and awakening his consciousness.
Blood fell along the dark cracks.
Lorenzo was panting. He could feel the pain on his skin and the touch of the black cube. [Final Echo] was on his body. He was waiting for Roger to appear.
Faced with such unexpected situations, Lorenzo's choices have always been crazy. He has already planned everything. If he can, he will try his best to confront Roger, at least he will not lose so easily and win some time.
Then he was looking forward to the arrival of Adren. Lorenzo felt that as a watcher, he would not let go of this opportunity to hunt Roger.
But by that time, Lorenzo probably had no hope of survival.
Not to mention being able to defeat the opponent, in a one-on-one situation, Lorenzo was lucky to escape, let alone face them both at the same time.
Then there is only one thing left for Lorenzo to do.
Detonate [Final Echo], turn yourself into the carrier of this power, use the [Gap] to travel through, and hit the Well of Sublimation directly.
This was a big gamble, and Lorenzo's life and his last hope were on the line. Lorenzo didn't know what the odds were, but it was better than dying here.
"Holmes!"
Someone is calling me, I don't know if it's an illusion or something else.
Lorenzo grasped the staff and sword tightly, and dense scales proliferated along his wrist, wrapping the sword together, turning it into a dark sword.
Fireworks are rising, and the expression is furious.
Someone was coming, and he shouted, "Holmes!"
Lorenzo immediately swung the sword blade, swirling smoke and fireworks, breaking steel and cracking iron with this blow.
A sword full of death intent was like a roaring tornado. For a moment, Shao Liangye felt that he was going to die. The antimeme could resist erosion, but it could not withstand the sharp sword. A cold chill ran through his body, and his vision was blown away.
shrouded in smoke.
The hot residual temperature finally stayed on Shao Liangye's neck. He swallowed, only to feel a bit of pain in his throat. With Lorenzo's breathing, he could feel the waves of heat coming from him.
The monster with black armor and white flames stood in front of him, and under its ferocious face armor, it seemed as if it was wrapped in the scorching sun.
As long as the black sword moved forward a little bit, Shao Liangye would be beheaded by Lorenzo, but now it stopped steadily, then fell, and was supported on the ground by Lorenzo.
"What's going on here?"
The ferocious visor cracked, revealing Lorenzo's somewhat confused face. He glanced at Shao Liangye, whom he had almost killed just now.
Logically speaking, Lorenzo would have noticed it, but his reaction seemed to have slowed down for a moment, like a blindfolded bird gliding in disorder.
"You're regaining awareness, and that could take a few minutes, or it could take a few hours."
Shao Liangye covered his throat and his legs were twitching. This was not fear. He had also lost his "cognition", but judging from his attitude, he was used to this.
"what happened?"
Lorenzo's mind was hazy. He only remembered that he seemed to have seen Roger, and then darkness followed.
"You detonated the antimemetic weapon, the one we placed down there."
Shao Liangye looked at the other end of the ruins. After it quieted down, he could clearly hear the monotonous ticking sound.
The Geiger index returned to normal.
"Is it considered an accidental attack? Your burst of erosion detonated it, causing the antimeme to spread, destroying all the nearby monsters in an instant. Now we just need to catch them one by one before they regain their consciousness."
Shao Liangye's steps staggered. He took only two steps and turned back, "Maybe there is no need to replenish the gun. They will die from the loss of cognition."
"Wait a minute, Shao Liangye."
Lorenzo stopped him and asked.
"Antimemes are aimed at erosion, that is, against sublimation. I think, in front of it, there is no difference between me and a demon, right?"
The gorgeous world became clear again, and Lorenzo looked at the gradually cracking armor, which was fading.
"Yes, the only difference is that you may need a [Wangchuan]-level antimemetic weapon to kill you, and this detonation will only slightly affect you." Shao Liangye said without any concealment.
"Is this...not bad."
"Are not you afraid?"
"What do you mean, death?"
Lorenzo shook his head and revealed the secret hidden in his heart, "What I'm afraid of is that you don't have the means to kill me."
"Why?" Shao Liangye didn't understand that this guy would make his death so easy.
"Monsters need shackles, no matter where they stand.
The worst possible scenario I conceived was that we all failed, the old Dunlin was destroyed, and death row failed to protect anyone.
Roger became the final winner, not only did he corrupt Edlon, I didn't escape either."
Lorenzo thought and continued.
"I can die, but I must die as a demon hunter, not an ascended monster."
"If it really turns out like this, if I am still alive, I will leave you a piece of [Wangchuan]." Shao Liangye paused and said to Lorenzo.
Lorenzo did not continue to talk about this. He looked around. Kestrel and others were crawling out of the ruins with difficulty. After the antimeme detonated, these mortals lost more knowledge. At this moment, Kestrel was
Writhing on the ground like a maggot, it looked like it would take him a while to figure out how to walk on his feet.
Some other survivors were similar to Kestrel, and some were more serious, directly degenerating into babies, crying and fussing.
When knowledge is stripped away, ordinary people will become ignorant beasts.
"Do you think Roger is still around?" Lorenzo asked.
"I don't know. Shouldn't I ask you about this kind of thing? You are an expert."
Shao Liangye was vigilant, but facing the invisible enemy, his vigilance was full of loopholes.
"Then think about the worst. Roger is still nearby. He is hiding in someone's body, peering at us, eavesdropping on our conversation... This may be you, or it may be someone else.
, even said it was myself.”
Lorenzo felt an invisible pressure, and this attack made the already pessimistic situation even more severe.
"His attack this time is more like a feint attack to understand our armed strength," Shao Liangye said. "This time it is considered a major defeat for us. The antimemetic weapons were exposed too early."
"It's not too bad. At least [Forgotten River] is hidden deep, right?" Lorenzo remembered something. He looked at Shao Liangye and asked, "Do you know what [Forgotten River] is?"
Shao Liangye was in a daze. He thought hard, but suddenly realized that his impression of the so-called "Wangchuan" seemed to have only one name, and nothing else.
"I do not remember."
There was no confusion about amnesia on Shao Liangye's face. As an anonymous person, he knew very well what it meant when he couldn't remember an extremely important thing.
His memory has been wiped, either permanently, or it may be restored shortly after the antimemetic decay.
Shao Liangye only felt that he was wrapped in something invisible, as if there was someone walking with him in the shadow under his feet.
"Can not remember."
Lorenzo repeated, thinking in his mind.
[Wangchuan] is undoubtedly a major killer weapon carried by Jiuxia, and in front of a sublimated person, this weapon is very likely to be plundered through the [gap], or even turned into a sharp sword that stabs oneself.
.
Therefore, Jiuxia Anonymous must have thought about this situation. In order to avoid this possibility, they must forget all information except that they own [Forgotten River] in order to completely protect it.
Does anyone remember?
A sober person, is he Zuo Zhen?
But this is not quite right. Once Zuozhen is invaded by [Gap], all these plans will be shattered.
so……
"Don't think about it. If you shouldn't know, you shouldn't know. I guess Zuo Zhen doesn't know what [Forgotten River] is either." Lorenzo said.
That's right, that's it. All the anonymous people don't know the specific information of [Forget River].
But they also need [Forget River], and they need to recall these at the right time, but the judgment of the timing is very important, and sooner or later, it will affect the direction of the entire situation.
Lorenzo suddenly applauded.
"What a good defense,"
A smile suddenly appeared on Lorenzo's face. He probably guessed the answer to the riddle and whispered.
"So you heard that? Roger Cruz, we still have weapons that can threaten you."
Lorenzo was talking to himself. He didn't know if Roger was there or if he could hear it, but he liked to speak harshly like this. If possible, Lorenzo wanted to anger Roger, whether it was a human or a monster.
, when controlled by extreme anger, it will be full of flaws.
"There are not too many casualties, at least on our side."
Sa Liangxi walked over covered in dust, dragging Rhodes with one hand. There were footprints all over this guy's chest.
"Don't take it too seriously. He seems to have forgotten to breathe. Let me help him clear it."
Seeing the death look on Rod's face, Lorenzo felt that it had nothing to do with breathing.
"What to do next? Anyway, Roger did show up. I don't think he would leave so easily." Shao Liangye asked.
"Then let's think about the worst. Roger has already infiltrated... So who is going to urge the Mechanical Institute? We need more holy silver to stop the invasion."
Lorenzo looked serious, but in fact what he was thinking was completely different.
Roger has the ability to move at high speed, and he can completely drive the entire Old Dunling into madness in a short period of time. The so-called feint attack now seems to be Roger's mercy.
Therefore, there must be something restricting him, preventing him from being so rampant.
Adren is here.
Lorenzo felt a burst of joy in his heart. His plan worked. Edron's first target was Roger. He would not do anything more until he killed Roger. In other words,
They were all safe until Roger died.
"So, where did the other battle take place?"
Lorenzo looked around suspiciously. With the baptism of antimemes and the entry of purification agencies, the demons in the lower city were gradually being eliminated, and the out-of-control areas were being regained control.
But he knew very well that the battle was not over yet, and somewhere they couldn't see, another battle that was far crazier than the current situation was breaking out.
Bursts of thunder came from deep in the clouds. Old Dunling was always so gloomy, as if a heavy rain was coming at any time.
Roger stood in a desolate ruins. He looked up and saw huge metal debris everywhere. There was no human habitation, only endless dust and smoke, and mine pits excavated all over.
The minerals in the industrial area were hollowed out many years ago. In the days that followed, it became a large testing ground to test new weapons of the Perpetual Pump and to accumulate useless and abandoned equipment.
This is a tomb of steel. They fell together, and the erected iron branches and steel arms formed a twisted forest.
The sunlight shines through and is divided into pieces.
Roger waited for a while, but he didn't wait too long. A twisted singularity appeared out of thin air, dragging the surrounding matter and even giving the entire space a distorted feeling.
This time, what flashed was a blazing white thunder ball, and the dense current flowed through it like a snake, evaporating the surrounding materials and building a new body at its core.
"Actually, every time I see this scene, I feel very ironic, Adren."
Roger did not show any boredom at the arrival of this uninvited guest, he said mockingly.
"Construct your body at will... No matter how you look at it, you are the existence closest to the end."
Deep in the lightning, a thin figure slowly emerged.
