Volume 1: Shadow Rise Chapter 26: Departure
"That guy is as annoying as a crow, isn't he?" Ye wanted to ask Shore in the locker room.
"yes, it's so annoying, you can't communicate with this kind of person at all. Shore replied as he took off his civilian clothes. His sturdy body was covered with several shocking wounds, including the recently formed laceration on his lower abdomen, which was still wrapped in gauze, and faintly dark red blood stains were visible.
"Does that wound still hurt?" Ye Xiang asked with concern.
"Nothing serious. Shore waved at him. "I've got more serious injuries than this, so you don't need to worry too much about that. ”
"This injury is different from the ones you have suffered in the past, this is a concurrent injury formed after the awakening of the Holy Word, you should pay more attention. ”
"I know, I'll pay attention to it later. Shore said as he put on his battle armor, "You should have gotten a lot of new news, what happened during our absence?"
"Do you think of me now?" Ye Xiang glanced at him, "If you want to say that something big really happened, I remember that you seem to know someone, your name is Seth Tian, right?"
Shore hesitated for a few seconds before replying, "Yes, I recognize him." He's a witcher a year older than me, and I've had a few conversations with him at graduation ceremonies, so he's a nice guy. But then he joined the BPRD Navy, so I barely met him from then on. ”
"Then I can only regret to tell you that he died. ”
Shore's zippered hand suddenly paused: "yes, how did he die?"
"He died at the hands of demons, or rather, at the hands of Mephistopheles Ferres. ”
"Did that guy do it?" Shore could clearly hear his teeth clenching violently. "What is that bastard for?"
"Seth's lieutenant, Jon, has shown me all the recordings, and it looks like they went to the bottom of the Mariana Trench and took what they wanted. Seth was tragically killed in a battle with Mephistopheles Ferres, and he fought valiantly until the last moment. ”
"Because he's the same as me. Shore sat on the bench and whispered. "Because he bears the name of a witcher, because he has the courage and determination to die to protect others, I believe that when he died, he must have felt that he had no regrets. ”
"I'm sure he has no regrets. "Even though he's gone, he's passed the torch of hope, as Jon said when he handed me the footage." ”
"That's right, I'm sure he has no regrets. But I noticed that you just said that it seems to be them and not him, does that mean that there were two people at the scene at that time?"
"I thought you were stupid enough to tell the list or the plurality. Ye Xiang joked on the side, "There are indeed two people at the scene, but one of them doesn't seem to be a demon." ”
"It's not a demon, what is it?" Shore asked.
"Yes, the other man is not a demon, and if all the images I have captured are real, then there is no doubt that this guy should be the legendary head of the fallen angels, the second son of God, Lucifer. ”
"What did you say?" Shore slammed to his feet, grinning at his aching teeth from the wound. "Lucifer, that thing that only exists in mythology? No kidding, he must have died thousands of years ago. ”
"I thought so before watching this video. Ye Xiang shrugged. "Sometimes what we know isn't necessarily true, is it?"
"Are you saying that God has lied to us by making up the lie that Lucifer is dead so that his children can get away with it?"
"That kind of thing, we can't just guess. Ye Xiang reminded in a slightly harsh tone. "It can only be assumed that Lucifer is not dead for now, and as for his past, this kind of thing should be left for later. ”
Shore pondered for a moment, then suddenly read a passage: "The cage of the imprisoned has been broken, and the forgotten will return." Ye Xiang, do you remember this passage?"
Ye Xiang nodded and said, "I remember, it was the words in the prophecy that Mr. Clough left us. ”
"Do you think it's possible that the imprisoned person he is referring to is Lucifer, after all, if he is not dead, then it is most likely that he will be imprisoned for eternity. ”
Ye Xiang frowned and touched his chin: "This can be explained, so the first two sentences of the prophecy have been confirmed, it seems that what will happen next should be the same as the prophecy, it seems that this secret word is the most important, no wonder they can't wait to get rid of him as soon as possible." ”
"I'll raise this matter with the Commander at the next meeting. By the way, you haven't told me what they took from there. ”
"A sword, a sword of great power, Mephistopheles called it Satan's sword, and from what I have consulted, I suspect that it is most likely Sachi's sword. But we have very little information about it, and if we can draw a conclusion, we can only draw a little conclusion, so I don't know what unknown power the sword has. ”
"We'll find out about that later. Shore patted Ye Xiang on the shoulder, and then walked to the door of the locker room. "Now we have more important things to do, tell all the players to pack up and we need to go out immediately. ”
"Where are you going?" Ye Xiang asked
"London. Shore replied without looking back, "It will take some time, but there are some issues I need to talk to Wild Hunt about." ”
