Chapter 34: The Scenery of Purgatory

Vajra Strike is a transcendent martial art that reaches the ultimate realm, and if it weren't for the stimulation of the golden needle, Simon wouldn't have been able to comprehend it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but Simon, who can keep himself in the pain of making people crazy, is enough to laugh at the crowd. It's a miracle caused by a series of coincidences, and Simon can't help but feel his good luck.

Simon sometimes thinks that whether it is for arcane arts or martial arts, the speed of learning is indeed abnormal, and his body is like a blank sheet of paper when he first came to this world, without any traces of training.

"I would complain that my strength was rising too fast, and I had changed."

Thinking back to his struggles in the wasteland, Simon couldn't help but sigh that life is not equal, especially in this supernatural world.

Simon rested and waited for the pain to fade, he looked ahead and began to worry about Vanessa's safety, the Brotherhood of Steel is now a breeding ground for monsters.

When Vanessa reached the next floor, she saw a factory.

Vanessa didn't know what kind of amazing products would be born after refining and recreating these corpses, as if they were eating flesh on bizarre production lines filled with black steel and smoke, and unexplained machinery running automatically as if eating meat. The ground was strewn with dried blood, the smell of rancid reverberation in the space, and the dark machinery was swallowing up pieces of meat in a noisy voice. There were a large number of humanoid cages hanging from the ceiling, just like the steel grates seen before, some of them were empty, but some of them were still locked inside, and the masked people danced wildly, casting demonic shadows.

"No one?"

Vanessa resisted the feeling of vomiting and looked around for a familiar figure.

Vanessa's ears were constantly irritated by the roar of machinery, mixed with the sound of splattering flesh and blood, a nightmare symphony.

"Is this the path chosen by the Brotherhood of Steel?"

I don't agree, this is by no means what steel should look like, steel is obviously our most trusted partner, the sword in our hands, and the armor on our bodies, but it should never be a man-eating monster.

"Is it Vanessa? I'm so sorry I forgot to bring you here, and when I saw you, I remembered. ”

"This voice? Christina? ”

Vanessa followed the prestige and saw Christina sitting on a high platform, wearing a black veil, sitting behind a desk, revealing only the upper half of her body in a purple tight leather suit. On the table was a huge scroll with many purple runes floating around on it.

"Christina, are you alright?"

Vanessa asked hurriedly, her body involuntarily trying to get closer to the high platform where Christina was.

"I'm fine, don't worry, Vanessa."

Christina's voice was as calm and gentle as ever, relieving Vanessa's anxious mood.

"Great, you're fine. What about the president? And where has everyone gone? ”

"The president left with everyone, and Uncle Tom and I were the only ones here. It's over, and you're a little late, but I'm still glad to see you. Can Vanessa get closer? I want to take a good look at you. ”

"But I didn't see everyone leave?"

"The president used a teleportation spell to take them away. Vanessa, what about Uncle Tom? ”

Vanessa was stunned, not knowing how to speak.

"It's lonely to be alone, I don't like it."

Christina's voice was dreamlike.

Vanessa walked to the table and was stopped by Christina when she reached a short distance in front of the table.

"That's it, I'm sorry, Vanessa, the president has instructed that no one should be allowed to approach this console. But because it's you, that's why I'm treating you very preferentially. ”

Christina said playfully.

"Christina, what did the president do? What happened at the Steel Conference? ”

Faced with Vanessa's question, Christina began to speak slowly.

"At the Steel Conference, Chairman Hinckley made a proposal that everyone give up their human bodies and combine with steel to become powerful metal men, well, it seems to be called crystal gold. In this way, the Brotherhood of Steel will become a stronger organization, so that everyone can get rid of the fear of birth, old age, sickness and death, and become higher beings beyond the mundane. From now on, the Brotherhood of Steel will have unparalleled power, and there will be no shortage of manpower, and we will have an endless number of minions, and an army of steel will wipe out those monsters once and for all. One day, we will completely remove all the filthy monsters from this world and return the world to its original state. ”

"And then, everyone agreed?"

"Nope."

Christina's words made Vanessa breathe a sigh of relief, but then she was deeply shocked.

"But they don't have a choice, and the President and we forcibly converted everyone into crystal creatures. Although we also encountered some resistance, it was in vain. ”

There is a strong sense of malice in the bland words.

"You don't know how happy they were when everyone who felt the new students finally accepted their changes, and everyone was jumping and cheering, shouting the president's name and shouting long live Hinclair!"

"Why are you so cruel to everyone, obviously everyone doesn't want to give up their human identity!"

Vanessa asked, choking slightly.

"Humans are stupid creatures, and most humans only know how to look at what is in front of them, which is both selfish and short-sighted, and can only move forward properly under the leadership of a few elites. The purpose of the general meeting is not to discuss, but to order and implement the ideas of the president. You're not a manager, you can't understand that frustration, it's for their good, but they can't understand it, and for leaders, sometimes it may just need to be rough, and when everyone tastes the benefits, they will understand. ”

"Nonsense!"

Vanessa couldn't understand why Christina could say such outrageous words so blandly, how her thought circuit could be so different, and a sense of foreboding appeared in Vanessa's heart.

"So, Christina, you're not and aren't human anymore, are you?"

Christina nodded and smiled.

"Of course, I am the first person to personally preside over the transformation of the ceremony, and this is my greatest honor."

Vanessa looked at Christina, who was smiling happily, and couldn't help but chill.

"But you look like you're human."

With one last bit of luck, Vanessa tried to get closer.

"I said, don't come close!"

As if touching the scales, Christina stood up, and suddenly a hurricane blew Vanessa away.

The moment Vanessa was blown away, she saw a pair of terrifying giant claws.

"What is this?"

Vanessa stood up in pain, and she watched Christina slowly walk off the stage, a shrill grinding sound and sparks bursting on the ground.

Christina, like a normal person, had a pair of huge steel claws, hideous spikes sticking out of her knuckles, and her golden fingertips cut clear claw marks on the ground. Although the whole claw exudes terrifying killing intent, it is as luxurious and delicate as a work of art, and it looks very beautiful. Paired with Christina's relatively petite figure, it shows a strange contrast beauty.

Christina dragged her giant claws towards Vanessa.

"I'm sorry, I just shot a little harder, it's okay, Vanessa."

Christina didn't seem to notice anything unusual about herself, and talked to Vanessa as she had done before.

"By the way, Vanessa, you haven't transformed yet, no wonder it's so light, don't worry, I'll help you evolve thoroughly."

"What do you want to do, shove me into these disgusting machines next to me?"

"Of course not, these machines are used to make steel corpses, and as long as scrap metal and corpses are used, qualified soldiers can be made in batches. The crystal transformation ceremony takes place in a secret room inside, come, come with me! ”

Vanessa took a few steps back, rejecting Christina's kindness.

"Can't you see what you look like now, I just want to be an ordinary human."

Christina's tone instantly became gloomy.

"yes, you're like those people."

Christina raised a "hand" and opened it vigorously.

"It looks like it's going to have to be enforced."

"Can you open your eyes and see what the president is doing?! This is by no means the chairman's handiwork, I don't believe it! He's not that kind of person, he must be a monster in disguise! You've all been deceived by the fake president! ”

Vanessa burst into tears and shouted at Christina.

"This is what the Brotherhood of Steel does, isn't the Iron Soul the most ideal posture?"

Christina's seemingly human body contains terrifying energy, and Christina has a clear understanding of this, and her hands still seem to have the touch of broken limbs.

Christina's mind recalls the beginning of all this change.

Last night, Sincley took Christina to visit the secret workshop underground, and under Christina's frightened gaze, Sincley said softly.

"Humans are weak."

Sinclair opened his arms to the dark machine, as if to embrace the works that had taken him so much of his time.

"Only steel can make people maintain themselves and gain the power to surpass monsters."

"Are we still human in that case?"

"Jingjin, we will become the Jingjin family, the miracle of flesh and blood machinery."

"Why are you showing me these things?"

Hinckley's eyes flashed with mixed emotions.

"I need a helper."

Christina was silent for a long time.

In the countless cages on the ceiling, skinless masked monsters twisted their bodies and roared silently.

"Are you still human, President?"

"Well, because I have more important things to accomplish."

Sincere words came out of Hinclair's mouth.

"That's good, please let me be your helper, your strength, I am willing to give everything, only for your ideals, for the future of the brotherhood!"

"You don't regret it?"

"I hate myself as powerless, and when my fellow Brotherhood mates died one by one in front of me, I swore that I would take revenge, and I would sacrifice the souls of my comrades in heaven with the blood of monsters."

"yes, that's good."

Sincley took one of Christina's hands and kissed it gently on the back of her hand.

"You're going to be my most important deputy, I promise."
