Volume 2: The Holy War of Blood Chapter 68: Judgment
How could such a thing be? Shore couldn't believe that the city he was in was New York.
Could it be that the enemy has already broken through our defenses? Shore suddenly thought the worst in his mind, no, it doesn't make sense, if this is really New York, then why are we people attacking me?
With this confusion in mind, Shore ran as fast as he could through the rubble, and behind him, he couldn't count how many men were chasing after him with all sorts of weapons or objects that could be used as weapons.
"Kill that guy!" "How dare this damn destroyer appear in front of people and hang him!" "Traitor, he's a traitor, you must catch him!"
People shouted such slogans and ran, but Shore, who had been in front of him, suddenly disappeared in a pile of rubble, and everyone hurried to catch up, but Shore's whereabouts were completely nowhere to be found.
"He's definitely around here, we must find him!" "Work hard, no matter what, let this guy go to hell, and never let him live!"
Anger was contagious among the crowd, and the people searched the ruins in a rage, their expressions distorted to the extreme, and their hatred was absolutely real.
But what they didn't know was that Shore had been standing quietly beside them, even taking in their every move.
Shore couldn't help wiping a cold sweat, now he is completely invisible, this is the function of the combat suit he wears, although it can only last for a short time, but it is enough for him at the moment.
At this time, Shore should be more concerned about why he came here, he obviously felt that his memory seemed to be missing, he only remembered that he seemed to be at war with someone, and as for why he came here, he had no memory at all.
Who's the guy I'm fighting against? Damn, why can't you remember!? And it's clear that New York is in a state of total destruction right now, so does that mean we're losing this battle?
Shore's heart sank, and this terrifying idea seemed to be gradually becoming a reality: the world was already in a state of destruction, and the current situation in New York was ironclad proof, if this was the case, then we humans were lost, and we lost this war completely!
As he thought this, there was a slight jolt from the suit, and Shore suddenly woke up, knowing that this was a reminder that his stealth time was about to reach its limit.
In that case, I'll grab someone and ask. Shore made up his mind, and he moved quickly towards the edge of the crowd, his sharp gaze searching for easy targets, and he finally settled on a young man, and approached him slowly and unconsciously.
In a flash of lightning, Shore reached out and strangled the young man's neck, and he was stopped just as he wanted to scream. "Don't move!" Shore threatened, "I don't want to hurt you, I just want to ask you something, and if you don't scream then I can make sure you're safe." ”
The young man quickly nodded in agreement, and Shore took him hostage in a stealthy posture and walked into the distance, and the people who were still searching for Shore at the moment did not notice this at all, so Shore almost easily succeeded.
When the two of them were already very far away from the crowd, Xiao Er let go of the hand that was holding the young man's neck, and at this time, the stealth function of the combat suit finally reached the limit, and Xiao Er's original image was completely displayed in front of the young man.
"Don't be afraid. Shore could see the fear in the young man's eyes, "I said I wouldn't hurt you, please believe me." ”
"I, I, how do I know if you're going to lie?" said the young man, stumbling with a look of complete fear. "Guys like you, can I still believe what you say?"
"I don't know what you've seen. "But I can assure you that I'm not who you think I am, and you see, if I wanted to, I would have done it, wouldn't I?"
The young man let his guard down slightly, but the look of fear on his face remained. "Well, I'll believe you. "But only this once." ”
"That's enough. Shore held out a hand and said, "My name is Shore Robert, but I guess you all already know that, but I don't know your name yet." ”
"Neo Heron, that's my name. The young man hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and took Shore's outstretched hand.
"Then I'll just call you Neo. Shore smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, as I said just now, I'm only here to ask you a few questions." ”
"Say it. Neo finally relented, after all, the man in front of him seemed to be completely unhostile. "I try to answer whatever I can, but if it's something else, I'm not going to say. ”
"Let me start with the simplest question for you, has New York been breached by the legions of hell?"
"You?" Neo hesitated for a full minute, "hasn't this happened for a long time?
"I don't know. Shore frowned and continued, "I don't even know what time it is, my memory is missing, I really don't know at all. ”
"I don't think you're lying. Neo's words suddenly felt sympathetic, "Maybe it's because of your lack of memory, but I can tell you that the Legion of Hell won the war a few months ago. ”
"How many months!?" Shore couldn't believe his ears, "how is that possible?"
"That's just the way it is. Neo patiently explained, "It is true that humanity was completely defeated before the first few months, and that is all we have left of us to live. ”
"How did you lose?" Shore asked aloud, suddenly, "tell me, what caused our defeat?"
"This. Neo hesitated again, but looking at Shore's anxious expression, he finally chose to answer. "There are many reasons for failure, but one of the most important is you. ”
"On me!?" Shore was momentarily surprised, but when he remembered the anger he had shown at him, it felt as if the answer had already been forthcoming.
"Is that why I am called the Destroyer by you?" Shore asked, "Is that so?"
"That's right. Neo replied dryly, "You're the Destroyer, and we've all seen you destroy this world, and while I'm not sure if that's the person I'm looking at right now, you're not much the same in terms of name or look." ”
"What did I do?" Shore felt like he was spinning a little, "Tell me, what the hell did I do?"
"You have betrayed humanity. Neo's eyes revealed true resentment, and it was like a knife into Shore's heart. "You have betrayed the BPRD, betrayed the heroes who fought alongside you, you are the true destroyer!"
"No way!" Shore yelled, "I would never have done anything like that, I don't believe it anyway!"
"But that's the truth. Neo also raised his voice, "We all saw that moment happen, how you killed your comrades, the heroes who fought with you, how you led the legions of hell to attack the city, and committed horrific crimes, we all saw it with our own eyes!"
"I did all this, I did everything...... "I kept muttering to himself, "I was the one who caused the extinction of the human race, I was a traitor, no, it shouldn't have been like that!, why, why did I do such an unforgivable thing!?"
"Then you will atone for your sins!" I don't know when Shore and Neo have been surrounded by a large group of people in the center, and at this time, Shore is completely on the verge of a mental breakdown, and now he has completely lost the ability to resist.
"Come on!" Shore straightened up suddenly, "My compatriots, it was I who caused humanity to become what it is now, it was I who betrayed humanity, I don't expect your forgiveness, so I will atone for my sins!"
"Then go and die!" "Kill him!" "It's because of this bastard that I lost my wife and children, and I must not let him live in the world." "Traitor, don't pretend to be innocent, for now you will be judged for your crimes!"
Somebody pulled the bowstring, and a short sharpened wooden arrow pierced deep into Shore's chest, and when he looked at the blood in his chest, Shore suddenly felt a sense of relief.
That's it, compatriots, comrades-in-arms! Let me, a sinner, atone for my sins!
Unable to count how many people there were, Shore could only see countless blurry black shadows running towards him, sharp weapons, blunt objects, bullets...... Whatever it was, it was used as a weapon against him, and Shore stood at a distance, allowing them to attack him.
I'm a sinner! I'm not worthy of fighting for humanity, I'm a destroyer, a demon who destroys the most precious thing in the world, no matter how many times you repent to make up for my sins!
"Then it would be good to become sinful. The soft words rang in Shore's ears, "Take a good look, these are the people you want to protect, isn't it?
"You're right. "Shore has completely lost his pain, and no matter how many times his body has been destroyed, he has no feeling at all. "Humans are so pathetic, we are so pathetic. ”
"Then it would be nice to destroy humanity. The voice induced him, "Let all human beings be judged in hell, the guilty should fall into hell, and the innocent are naturally innocent, and there is no need to fight against any hell, accept it calmly." ”
"Accept it, accept it......," Shore repeated the words of his voice, "help Hell destroy humanity?"
"This is not destruction. The voice laughed, "This is a just trial, all people are completely fair, this is the real salvation, come on, it's time to show your true self to others!"
"My true self. Runes quickly appeared on Shore's arm, and instead of the original gold, the rune was a ghostly dark purple, black mist emanating from his body, eventually forming a smiling face behind him.
"That's right, it's not destruction, it's a just judgment!" Shore smiled with an extremely twisted smile, "Let's begin, let all humans accept my judgment!"
