"We have a lot of experiments, but we don't get much because the failure rate is unusually high. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info," Hetty continued, "That's why the number of combatants is much smaller than the number of producers. On the other hand, there was another problem with the experiment. That is, the wildness of the combatants is gradually worn away. ”

"Demons in general are wild, and they try to attack humans to get the internal organs they need to survive. But with the demons in captivity beneath our watchtowers, we certainly can't let them prey on humans. In the first place, there is no space and time, and our internal organs are all dead, and the conditions for predation cannot be created. As I said before, a demon is a creature that is extremely susceptible to environmental influences and changes. Therefore, demons who have been kept in captivity for two months will have the phenomenon of 'loss of wildness'. Some demons have degenerated into producers with sharp claws, who do not hunt for their own food and only wait passively. Of course, most of the demons reacted in the opposite way, refusing to eat the entrails we sent them, and constantly hitting the cage to escape. As a result, they become unusually weak......"

Brewster nodded, thinking of the story Alik had told him about the Church Records. After the demon was captured by humans, it was fed poison hemlock and killed. It may also be the earliest record of demonic experiments in the Church. The demons in there also seem to be very strong, which should belong to the second situation.

"So how did you solve this problem?"

"I didn't think of a good idea, and Master Cook began to calculate something that I couldn't understand at all, and muttered to himself. As you might not expect, it was Palmer who gave constructive advice in the end. Hetty paused, and she said in Palmer's strange tone, "'These demons are like pariahs, riots, rebellions are all because they still have the time to think. If you're hungry and the roots of the tree have to be stuffed into your mouth to taste it, there's not so much to do.' ”

Brewster couldn't help but laugh. He and Palmer knew each other, and after listening to Hetty's eloquent retelling, his mind was hooked up with the nasty ghost in his memory. But Brewster was soon back on the charts.

"This is nonsense, what can you learn from it?"

"If you talk about inspiration, there really is." "Cook felt that the 'hunger' of these demons was not strong enough. Under the influence of hunger and the threat of slow death, the demon still has the strength to choose slow death. But what if this hunger and craving raises again? If they are so hungry that they lose their minds, will they still try to go on a hunger strike, trying to give up what humans have delivered them? ”

"But the will of the demons has overcome hunger enough to kill them." Brewster shook his head and said, "There are many people in the human race who are not as strong-willed as they are. ”

"It's just not deep enough. The demon's thirst for internal organs is a manifestation of a lack of nutrients in the body's organs. When organs feel depleted of nutrients, they send signals. The rest of the demon's body receives this signal and begins to eat—this is hunger. After obtaining the internal organs of the human being, the demon's organs are nourished again, so these organs emit a kind of inhibition signal, so that the feeling of hunger disappears. Cook looked at the problem carefully and found a way to break this feedback. He synthesized hormones produced when the demon was hungry, so that the demon would feel hungry continuously. ”

"The potion is too good to be true, and we've found that extremely hungry demons don't just eat the entrails we give them. They can also become very belligerent and keep their metabolism levels at a very high level. We were worried that if we stayed closed, the fighting nature of the demons would be weakened. However, the combat power of these demons infused with potions will always be maintained at a very high level......"

"Wait...... How I feel as if I've heard something like that. ”

Brewster thought about it with his hands over his head. Sulfona had told her something. The demon who fought Sulfona that night, the demon known as the Sentinel. The "Sentinel" claims that he has been imprisoned, has received a curse, and must endure untold suffering. If you don't take an antidote from time to time, the demon will go crazy. Perhaps the curse is the same thing as the potion that Hetty was talking about.

Imagine magnifying the average hunger by a factor of 10,000. Ordinary sweetness is constantly condensed, and it will be sweet and bitter, and sweet and astringent. The extreme saltiness can be painful. After eating spicy food, people will even have the illusion that their mouth is torn and injured. If you touch a stone that has been exposed to the sun, your hands will feel hot, but if you change it to boiling water, the hot feeling will turn into pain. Any sense, when magnified and magnified, can be unbearable. If the concentration of hunger is forcibly raised by Cook's potion, it is only natural that the demon will be tortured like hell. And it seems reasonable for demons to instinctively try this pain by eating a lot of food.

"Cook's Hunger Elixir is effective, but the demon needs to eat a lot of food. Therefore, we will also supplement a 'hunger suppressant' to alleviate the effect of the anti-hunger potion. Hetty nodded, agreeing with Brewster, "The demon you mentioned may have misunderstood all of this as a curse, and that's just why he doesn't understand the technology. ”

"But in my opinion, this is even more excessive than a curse." Brewster frowned and said, "You're artificially regulating the hunger levels of the demons to keep them excited. This kind of thing...... This kind of thing ......"

Brewster said that he could not continue. He also understands the urgency of the Church to gain demonic power. These are just man-eating monsters, just use them as tools. But Hetty and Cook's manipulation of these demons in human form always makes Brewster feel that hunger, a phenomenon of life, has been desecrated. Hetty's attitude was even more dismissive. Hetty was going to take Brewster to see the fighters. Hetty believed that whoever saw the evil and ugly faces of those demons would no longer have the slightest sympathy for what happened to them. But soon Hetty was stunned, and she looked at a house next to the passage with a strange expression. Brewster didn't know why.

"What's wrong?"

"Here it is...... Producer's storage room. Hetty was silent for a while and said, "Some demons who need to be scheduled or who have just been produced and have not yet been assigned work will stay here for the time being. ”

"But there are no demons here?" Brewster asked, "Maybe the demons are all dispatched?" ”

"Nope. I know the producer's schedule, and I know that there should be a dozen or so newly produced prospectors waiting to be assigned. At least so far as yesterday. Hetty bit her lip and was silent for a while, "But they're gone, and I guess someone let them go." ”

"What! Could it be that the demon attack on the civilians around the Holy City will happen again! ”

Brewster suddenly thought of a lot of things. If you think about it carefully, he inherited his father's head is not bad at all, and many of the previous details are also worn into strings. The big sword girl who had been in contact with her late night before now looked particularly suspicious. She first tells Brewster Hutty that she is raising demons, and then mentions the incident where the demons were released by someone. All this is to induce Brewster's thinking, to make him think that it is a person who raises demons and releases demons, and makes Brewster suspicious of Hetty. The Greatsword Maiden also gave Hetty a motive: Hetty did all this in order to kill these demons that endangered humanity and become a savior-like existence.

But Hetty gives a different story. She slaughtered demons years ago. Now these breeding demons, Hetty would rather squeeze their lives with heavy labor than directly hack them to death with a sword. In this way, Hettie has no motive to release demons. On the contrary, the girl who infiltrated the bottom of the watchtower and learned about Hetty's secret may be the real culprit who unleashed the demon. Brewster thought of the girl's remarks that night, and couldn't help but feel chills all over his body. The girl thinks that demons are a species that is smarter and more creative than humans, and says that she wants to awaken them. Brewster didn't quite agree with some of Hetty's ideas, but he now at least understood that Hetty hated demons. And that big sword girl is essentially a different kind of person.

"Don't get too excited, maybe someone else has transferred these demons away." Hetty patted Brewster on the shoulder, "It's just the producers who are released, their combat power is very weak, maybe you can beat them." After an incident like that, we've hardened our defenses. Besides, if the combatants are released, the entire watchtower will sound an alarm. ”

Just then, Brewster and Hetty heard a strange noise. Brewster felt like a scream, and his nerves tensed.

"The voice is coming from outside." Hetty listened carefully and said, "Outside the watchtower. ”

"Could it be that the demons are attacking humans?" Brewster suddenly thought of something serious, "It's the inauguration of the lookout, and there are a lot of people gathered around. If the demon appears at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Hetty's expression became solemn after listening to Brewster's words. Both men let go of their prejudices and ran out of the basement together. Passing through the deep tunnels inside the watchtower, Hetty pulled Brewster to the nearest window of the watchtower. Outside the window is a small platform, which is the outer side of the watchtower, but you can still see what is going on below. Heti breathed a sigh of relief as she noticed that the place where the chaos had occurred was the outside of the Holy City and the watchtower, and that nothing was going on with the inhabitants of the Holy City. At present, the watchtower has not yet been officially completed, and the passage leading from the watchtower to the interior of the holy city has not yet been opened. So it's still a difficult thing to put demons in the holy city.

Beneath the solid walls of the Holy City, there are a few demons with teeth and claws. Although each of them was two people tall, they were unusually small in front of the watchtower. The walls of the holy city were full of people who had come to see the service. They looked at the monsters in amazement, and said the true names of the twin goddesses. Hetty looked at it and saw that the demons that were released were basically producers, but there were less than twenty of them. But it should be noted that there are two demons with sharp claws and fangs, which are clearly combatants.

"Don't worry...... That's enough for us. ”

However, Brewster did not listen to Herty's words. His eyes widened and his face turned pale, and he looked down at the city in astonishment. Walking out of the watchtower, Brewster felt his sense of smell regain a lot. He smelled a familiar scent, a sign that belonged to fellow knights, and the source was beneath the city.

"Alex!"
