【22:40】【Sun Fortress Underground】

After Arnest and Eolia were dealt with, the group continued to move on to the depths.

The further down the space, the more disgusting things you can see.

Endure the double discomfort of body and mind, and support the department to forge ahead.

Now everyone, no one asks any questions. Something more significant has taken over the entirety of their minds. The impact of Chief Sergei's death on everyone was enormous. The man who was not motivated at any time, and looked like he was at ease with what he encountered, the courage he showed made everyone devote themselves to this last mission.

I don't know how long it took, and finally everyone came to the second open place.

It's as if it's been discussed in advance. The five most capable people in the enemy did not come out in one go, but deliberately appeared in batches.

Sure enough, in the open area, a little boy was waiting for them.

It is an artificial platform surrounded by a flowing red liquid. Randy says that this is not blood, it is something like a drug, maybe it is the raw material of true knowledge.

However, even if he said so, this viscous red liquid still made everyone instinctively feel uncomfortable.

Standing in front of everyone was the poor boy Ivan, who had been taken to the hospital by Joachim three years earlier.

He was dressed in a very religious garment, a robe composed of white and purple, with golden lines outlining the appearance of an eye. In fact, this symbol is the symbol of the D∴G Order.

His weapon was peculiar, it looked like a long sword and a stick. The hilt of a sword about the size of a hand, with a flat disc at the end and tip of the blade on it, and a broad blade in the middle. It doesn't look sharp, and the blade has strange grooves all over, and I don't know what it does.

"Are you...... Evan? ”

Lloyd searched his memories and came up with his name.

"I'm sorry, guys. I can't let you pass. ”

Evan said indifferently, protecting the sword in front of him, just a movement, the surrounding Qiyao veins instantly burst out, and the huge ice sword spear flew up from the platform, like a thorny fence, surrounding Ivan . With this action, the long sword in his hand instantly emitted an ice-blue light, and in the grooves of the blade, the blue fluid kept flowing.

“！ Everyone, be careful! It's a magic item! ”

Theo, who has the knowledge of it, immediately breaks through the role of it.

This sword, obviously, is not used for combat, its only purpose is to increase the activity of the Seven Jewels around the blade.

Ivan didn't attack him, but said lightly: "Guys, I don't want to kill you." So, can you please step down and give us back Mistress Kia? ”

"Sorry, that's not possible."

Lloyd didn't think about it and replied directly, Evan shook his head with some pity, and his unfocused eyes actually stared at Lloyd. It's as if he had vision.

"Yes."

Evan swung his sword again, and at this time, the blade of the sword was emerald on the basis of ice blue, and a dozen emerald green disembodied spears stopped behind him, waiting for his orders like an army. There was no doubt that at the slightest order from him, the blades would come at them.

"Wait a minute! Ivan, I have a question! ”

In this tense atmosphere, Ellie suddenly spoke up, interrupting everyone's fiery atmosphere of battle.

"What?"

"Evan, why did you obey Joachim's orders?"

“……”

Evan paused, as if wondering whether to say it or not, and after a few moments, he came to a conclusion.

"Because, I don't have anything else to do."

“？”

This statement, which is obviously reminiscent of You Chensi, made everyone puzzled for a while. Ivan couldn't see their expressions, and he continued to talk about himself in a sluggish tone.

"My name is Evan, which means eleven, number eleven. Like Theo, I am an experimenter of the Order. ”

“！”

Suddenly, this shocking scene broke out, and everyone was stunned.

"I don't have a place to go back. So, until the destruction of the Order, I didn't feel anything. I will follow the priest because he is the only one who recognizes my worth. After all, I'm just a test subject. I just want to come in handy. ”

He flatly relegates himself to the realm of non-human beings - props.

This kind of rhetoric is also very similar to You Chensi at that time. Always think of yourself as a prop rather than a human.

For props, affection is not needed. As long as it can come in handy, it's a good prop. Humans don't ask for the opinion of the plate, they just use it to serve hot food, and no one thinks about whether the plate will feel hot or not. It doesn't make sense.

It is difficult for humans to understand this feeling. However, if you think about it, it is impossible for humans to have such thoughts if they had not endured great mental damage.

It's like Rui rejects everything from the outside world, and You will never show his hole cards, and it is difficult for Theo to show his expression...... It would not have been possible to become like this without trauma.

Tiou's heart couldn't help but feel a sour pang.

She is also a survivor of the experiment. She knew very well how the children who were treated as test subjects were received.

That's enough treatment to drive people crazy.

Theo listened to the wails of his companions every day, every day someone died in the experiment, every day someone was killed for going insane.

In this environment, it is rare for someone like Theo to retain human consciousness.

Probably, it was at this time that Evan would see himself as a prop. After all, if you don't think of yourself as a human being, you can barely endure these inhumane treatments. As long as you comfort yourself that you are not a human being in the first place, but a prop, then injustice will become irrelevant. Just put up with it, and then get used to it.

Evan, who was forced to be like this, was alive.

Ivan's abilities are somewhat similar to Theo's, and his perception is excellent. However, Theo's perception is more skewed towards living beings. She could read the emotional fluctuations of living beings. Ivan is more inclined to the Seven Jewels. He is very sensitive to the flow of the Seven Jewels. He lost his hearing, sight, smell, and most of his touch, but instead, he was able to see the enemy, smell the smell, and hear the sound by reading the flow of the Qiyao veins.

This hard-working child......

At the same time, the hearts of the people were filled with pity.

However, no one backed down, and no one tried to convince him. It's useless to talk nonsense with such people. He won't listen to even a word of what his enemies say.

After a brief question, Evan looked at everyone in silence and said, "No intention of retreating?" Well, I'm on. ”

Ivan swung his sword, and the wind-type javelin standing behind him projected like raindrops.

The battle has officially begun.
