Old Dunling, Broken Dome.

This is a hidden place, only one elevator is connected to the outside world, and all the rest of the communication to the outside world relies on a system called pneumatic pipeline logistics transmission, which is responsible for transportation throughout the broken dome, and the capsules containing the documents travel rapidly under the pneumatic force, this kind of thing will always have a sense of mystery, even the person who stores the capsule, does not know where the documents will go.

This is where all the documents finally come together, and Invig lost a lot of books during the Hundred Years' War, so in the New Age facility, no matter what department is concerned about, even the Eradication Agency.

Countless pipes fall from the dome, like falling star tracks, and finally into the pool full of insulating liquid at the foot of the foot, and there are lights at the bottom of the pool, reflecting the copper pillars one after another, as if it is the sacrificial ritual of ancient mythology, exuding a magnificent glow.

The gray-robed man stared at the bronze pillars, and looked at them with some fascination, even if the elevator opened again, it didn't attract his attention.

"What are you looking at?"

Arthur stepped out of the elevator and said to his old friend.

"Those differential machines. ”

The gray-robed man pointed to the differential machines that were silent in the insulating fluid, which were combined together as if they were erected copper pillars, and rubber wrapped cables were interspersed between them, like seaweed surging at the bottom of the sea.

It is also a product of technology, and with the advent of the age of steam, it is a miracle that can increase the speed of multiplication and improve the accuracy of logarithmic tables, transform complex formulations of function tables into differential operations, and replace square operations with simple additions.

This is only a small part, and the largest fleet of differential machines is currently being built on the Perpetual Pump to facilitate the mad scientists.

"Actually, I sometimes wonder if we're on the wrong path. ”

After a moment of silence, the gray-robed man spoke again.

"Just like steam technology, we've reached a point where we can't break through that limit no matter how much we improve...... Did we go the wrong way from the start?"

He pondered, staring at the bronze pillars of the rituals, they were the transformation of technology, but what if after the extinction of civilization, there would be new life, worshipping it like a god?

"It's even the difference machine, the limit of what we do with a thing is to make a bigger one, like the Pillar of the Furnace, like this Babbage array. ”

"This is just an escape, not a breakthrough in technology, and if we continue like this, we will be like a bloated person being choked by the throat. ”

Silence, Arthur is only silent on this issue, the man in front of him is Invig's heart of technology, if he is confused about this, the only person who can give him the answer is that person.

"Didn't you go to the end of the world? Didn't the Keeper give you the answer?"

Arthur asked, it was up to the Grey Man to decide on this, he didn't even know where the end of the world was, it was a secret, in the Grey Man's mind.

"No, he didn't even see me, and I almost froze to death on the ice sheet. ”

The gray-robed man sighed a little, and then looked at Arthur.

"It's more important than these actions against Endtown, so why would you agree to this? Let a demon hunter from the Demon Hunter Order be in charge, you should know what the secret blood is, that demon hunter is a walking polluter, and if he gets out of control, the threat will be incomparable. ”

"Yes, but I think he can be trusted. ”

Arthur said lightly.

"But you haven't even seen him, Arthur, are you now guided by some so-called intuition? ”

The Grey Man was unhappy with Arthur's behavior.

"I know, so I have enough reason, remember the newspapers we had been piling up for six years in the Seven Hills, and our newspaper department had finally deciphered the crucial point, and to be honest, it was all more complicated than we thought. ”

"How complicated is it?"

"A lot. ”

Arthur's voice seemed to be of steel, and he looked at the water in the pool that was magnificently illuminated, and the differential machine was running rapidly, and the amount of friction generated was dissipated by the insulating liquid.

"Actually, we had a mistake in judgment at the beginning, for example, the place of the Seven Hills has been sealed for six years, you should know how uncertain that place is, there is a cardinal buried underneath, and six years is enough time for them to turn over the whole city. ”

Arthur sighed.

"In six years, even if you check them one by one, you can find out everyone's share. ”

The gray-robed man's expression was awe-inspiring, and he realized that something was wrong.

"Our eyeliner is reversed?"

"Almost, according to their account, they were exposed the following year, but the Evangelical Church did not kill them, and only recently released them back, but still returned with retribution. ”

That's where Arthur is most confused, he said.

"This is a deliberate report from the Evangelical Church, they want us to know this, we have been cut off from the Evangelical Church for too long, and this is a gesture of goodwill for them to try to reconnect. ”

"Gestures?"

The gray-robed man smiled disdainfully, "I don't think those gods would be so kind. ”

"But this is true, and even said that we just received a telegram from the Seven Hills a few minutes ago, in the telegram, the new pope expressed his intention to re-establish diplomatic relations and share knowledge about demons, if the previous pope was an iron-fisted ruler, this pope is like a fox, I don't know his purpose at all. ”

Listening to the information that was enough to shake the pattern of the Western world, the gray-robed man nodded slightly, but then he seemed to think of something, as if an ancient monster jumped out of the huge shadow of the sea, with astonishment and fear, he looked at Arthur, and his cold eyes were full of certainty.

"Wait! You mean the new pope?"

Having already anticipated the horror of his old friend, Arthur repeated it again, his voice distantly heavy.

"That's right, the thirty-sixth pope of the Evangelical Church. ”

"Senilotair. ”

The old era is gone, and the new is roaring.

......

My father always said that I was lucky that I was born at the turn of two eras, when the old class that had been solidified would be swept into the garbage heap, everything new was waiting for the young to plunder, steam technology, the Orient, wealth, there were so many things worth it in the new age. ”

On the lonely lighthouse, the kestrel faces the sea breeze of hunting, overlooking the twisted and hideous earth, and tells it as if it were understanding life.

"You give me the feeling of a depressed poet who is ready to jump off a building and is dead. ”

Eve said unceremoniously, but Kestrel turned her head sadly and looked at Eve.

"Compared to what happened next, I think it's better to jump off the building and die. ”

"Heh, instead of dying, you should help, I don't want to die if you want to!"

Eve said angrily.

The two of them were at the top of the lighthouse, the bright light exuding a harmonious incandescent white, perhaps the strange green light was also due to the Dream Builder, and now it is gradually dissipating with the death of the Dream Builder.

But this was not the end of the battle, but the beginning of the decisive battle, after killing the Dream Builder, Eve woke up the Kestrel and the two were struggling with their next move when the gate at the lower end of the lighthouse was smashed open by the demons, like a dense colony of ants.

Fortunately, the huge body of the captain, that is, the dream builder, fell and blocked a large part of it, slowing down the influx of demons a little, and then the two of them emptied everything on the upper floor, throwing everything they could throw down, and stubbornly resisted the gate of the upper floor, and then came to the top of the lighthouse.

Here you can directly see those demons rushing from the end of the horizon, the number is incalculable, with the current armament of the two people, the only thing to do is to choose how they die.

"Wait Eve, this lamp burns oil!"

As he spoke, the kestrel suddenly discovered the anomaly of this lighthouse, in the development of science and technology, most of the lighthouses have been connected to electricity, but this lighthouse still relies on old-fashioned kerosene burning, and the complex lens system sinks into mercury, scanning the darkness with the twisting of the machine.

Hearing this, Eve's eyes lit up suddenly, as long as there was kerosene, they could hold on for a while, that was what Lorenzo had told her, demons were afraid of flames.

"What are you going to do? Break it?"

Eve hasn't seen any spare kerosene here for so long, presumably the last kerosene in the wick is the last, but once it is removed, Eve may be able to withstand the attack of the demons for a while with kerosene, but the pressure of darkness will inevitably increase.

"Maybe that's the only way, or they'll climb up sooner or later. ”

The kestrel said and looked at the bottom of the tower, the demons piled up a shallow layer, trying to climb the lighthouse, and inside the lighthouse due to the spiral staircase, it was difficult for them to open the heavy gate, so there was no need to worry for the time being.

"The choice is yours, ma'am. ”

At this time, the kestrel shows the hellish gentlemanly behavior, and it may become a little abnormal when people reach a desperate situation.

Eve was silent, she could see the pressure of the kestrel, his face was pale, unlike his own secret blood, his willpower was being put to the test.

"Isn't there a turnaround?"

Eve doesn't want to die yet, there are a lot of problems she hasn't figured out yet, she doesn't want to die here.

"I'm afraid not. ”

Kestrel handed over his communicator, the light above was still red, and the two of them were on a dark island, except for the two of them, only the demons below were waiting for dinner.

Kestrel slowly raised the gun in his hand, the muzzle of the gun pointed at the fragile lens system, as long as the wick was broken, the kerosene would overflow, burning those damn demons to death, of course, this place is so narrow, maybe before the demons are burned to death, he and Eve will die in the fire first.

"Are you ready?"

Kestrel asked, it was indeed a difficult decision, and they were only one line away from death.

Eve didn't reply for a while, she looked at the communicator in her hand, and then closed her eyes, maybe this is her endgame, buried here.

"Let's get started. ”

She said, but just then the red light turned green, and then a familiar sound came from the cacophony of electricity.

"Anyone?"

Eve snapped open her eyes and looked at the communicator in her hand.

"Hey!"

The voice sounded again, it wasn't a hallucination.

Eve was stunned for a moment, then she screamed.

"Don't shoot, Kestrels!"

The kestrel didn't shoot, and just a second before he was about to shoot, he heard the familiar and ghostly voice of the communicator, and he stared at the communicator in the girl's arms.

"Is it Eve? Where are you?"

Lorenzo's voice sounded, like an old mother who woke you up to breakfast.

"It's me! We're at the lighthouse, and the direction is ...... It's ......"

Eve said anxiously, but then she realized that she couldn't tell her direction at all, but then the voice sounded again in the communicator.

"Lighthouse? I see you!"

See...... How can it be......

Eve thought so, but then she understood that the dazzling light in the darkness attracted not only the predators, but also the people who fought with it, and she was a little afraid to think about what would happen to her if she broke the light, the night was so dark that it was impossible to show the way without it.

"Where are you!" Eve yelled, but suddenly she said again, "Don't come close!

There were as many demons as a sea of sand, and they only came to die, but the voice sounded again, calm and calm.

"Twelve o'clock direction. ”

"What?"

Eve didn't understand, and the voice repeated again.

"Twelve o'clock!"

This time she looked up at the darkness at the end of her sight, and the roar of steam became clearer as the man counted down to the communicator.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

The countdown sounded, and Eve saw it.

With the melodious sound of the whistle, the headlights pierced the darkness, it was a work of steel, and the heavy carriage broke off the track and moved on the ground, bringing dazzling sparks, and the whole train rushed like a snake, running over one demon after another that fell on it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Radiant train, and I am the conductor of this train, Mr. Lorenzo Holmes. ”

The witcher stood on top of the frantically shaking front of the car, slowly opening his hands to embrace the whole world, blood pouring out of the huge wound in his palm, spreading over the train with the wind.

"Move, cheer, praise!"

There was some narcissism and madness over the communicator, he said.

"This is a great rescue from Mr. Lorenzo Holmes!"

"At 80 kilometers per hour!"

This is the meaning of piercing the madness of despair, and the peerless cow bī that has made countless people's hearts and souls broken).

Endless blazing flames erupted from the blood that had been spilled, and the blazing train slashed down like a flaming sword guarding the heavens. u
