Chapter 398: I miss my mother
"It's so glaring, what is this?"
After escaping the scene, Silas found a safe place to sleep in a safe and unoccupied place, only to be awakened by the sunlight at dawn the next day.
When he was in the City of Frost and Fire, he couldn't see the sun, and in that fragmented world, Silas spent nine years, and never knew that there was such a thing as dawn, so after being awakened, he was very panicked, and quickly hid in the shadows of the nearby buildings, carefully peeking at the dazzling thing hanging in the sky.
Good fellow, this look almost blinded him......
Screaming and rubbing his eyes for a while, Silas was finally able to see again, and for a moment he felt that the human world was full of strange things.
After walking aimlessly to the streets of this city, Silas found that the bright and dazzling thing in the sky was actually quite comfortable, and there was a warm feeling when it was illuminated, and the surrounding light became very sufficient, and the vision became very clear.
When the day dawned, the humans of the city finally dared to come out and move, but their expressions and emotions looked very frightened, and many of them were whispering with their acquaintances about the explosion and fire of the previous night, and from their mouths, words like "demons" and "blood" could be heard from time to time.
Many more are anxiously huddled in front of the television, wanting to watch the news about last night's events.
As Silas walked down the street, he saw humans in a hurry, and even when he was in a hurry, he would try to avoid those dark corners and choose places where the sun was shining, as if something deadly would suddenly jump out of those dark corners, lest he avoid them.
"How many human beings there are? So why couldn't you see it last night? Silas was confused.
What he didn't know was that no matter which city it was in this world, in recent years, when night fell, the streets were basically empty, no one dared to go out at will, people would huddle in their homes, lock the doors and windows, and hold them up with things, and they would not open until dawn, and those who could move at night were either the army or some people with special powers, just like a curfew.
The reason for this phenomenon is the "demon sightings" and "unbelievable massacres" that have emerged one after another in recent years......
In this world, there has always been a legend that says that about 2,000 years ago, a demon king named 'Mundus' wanted to destroy the whole world, but was stopped by a demon lord under him, this magic swordsman called Sparta, betrayed his compatriots and stood on the side of mankind, he sealed the demon king 'Mundus', and sealed the passage between the human world and the demon world, so far, mankind ushered in more than 2,000 years of peaceful development.
The humans called this demon lord who had betrayed his compatriots the Dark Knight to show their gratitude to Sparta and even honored him as the savior.
However, after all, human beings are a short-lived race, two thousand years are enough for human beings to renew for more than ten or twenty generations, such a long time, but also make this legend in the human world become a little slim, the legend of Sparta, now just as a mythical legend.
Until...... The figure of the devil has reappeared in the world!
I don't know if it was thirty years ago or forty years ago, since that time there have been reports of sightings of demons, at first, many people just regarded it as a rumor and didn't believe it at all, but then this kind of rumor became more and more, from the first few years to appear several times a year, or even dozens of times! And every time it appears, it is accompanied by the destruction of the city.
The destruction of these cities was bizarre when investigated afterwards, with signs of battle everywhere, but there was no sign of a thermal weapon explosion such as bombs, and the destroyed buildings did not look like they were man-made at all.
Even among the gossip and photos of unknown origin, the corpses and wreckage of some horrific non-human creatures can occasionally be seen......
As a result, the words "demon invasion" proclaimed in these rumors have gradually been accepted by people, who firmly believe that there is a creature called "demon" in the world where humans live! Out of nowhere, they suddenly appear in the human world, killing humans, sucking blood and souls, and wreaking havoc and destruction.
Although various countries have been sparing no effort to block the news, and claiming that the so-called demons are nothing more than rumors, there are some things that cannot be blocked at all, especially about twenty years ago, when a huge tower suddenly appeared in a certain country, this tower suddenly appeared from the ground, soared into the sky, far beyond any high-rise building in the city, and stretched wildly towards the sky for several kilometers, almost touching the clouds.
At that time, millions of people in the city almost all witnessed the appearance of this tower, so a large number of photos of this tower appeared afterwards, and on the photos, you can see that this tower is completely different from the construction style of human beings, rough, depressing, hideous and dark style, it is definitely not a human creation!
But this is not the most terrifying, the most terrible thing is that at that time above the top of the tower, someone saw scarlet lightning and a huge whirlpool of clouds, this huge whirlpool of clouds stirred and swirled around the tower, like a huge door, some people saw through the center of the vortex, a large number of illusory terrible scenes, in these scenes appeared countless abominable monsters, they were huge, surrounded by blood and flames, and constantly let out terrifying roars...... There are even people who have a nervous breakdown and go crazy directly because of these terrible sights.
Although it is unknown what happened, the tower eventually collapsed and the huge swirling clouds disappeared, but the place where the tower appeared was also in ruins, and the army blocked the city and relocated the surrounding residents, and launched a large number of investigations, but when people asked, they were prevaricated by various ridiculous facts rather than explanations.
There have been more than one similar incident, various non-human sighting reports, and a large number of strange and tragic human deaths, which have convinced people that the demon has really reappeared in the human world.
It was only at this time that people picked up the legend about Sparta again, they believed that this legend was true, more than 2,000 years ago, there really existed such a magic swordsman Sparta, although he sealed the demon world and the demon king Mundus, but because of the greed of the human heart, some people coveted the powerful demonic power of Sparta, which led to the seal being opened!
In the face of the threat of demons, human beings seem so weak and helpless, in this case, the worship and belief in Sparta also came into being, the word savior was also re-introduced, many people are convinced that only faith in Sparta can make them survive the threat of demonic invasion, so various religious orders were born, they restored the image of Sparta from various documents, and according to this image, made the idol of Sparta, and prayed to the idol of Sparta day and night, In order to bring Sparta, the savior, back to life, and the redemption of mankind again.
Of course, since some people pin their hopes on the so-called religion, naturally there are also people who pin their hopes on the struggle, some brave human beings began to try to use the scientific and technological weapons made by human beings to fight against these more and more demons, through clever trap arrangements and tactical use, they did let them kill some demons, and then through the study of demon corpses, they found that the parts and tissues obtained from some powerful demons will carry a powerful power, through the corresponding scientific and technological means, It can also be stimulated, and if this inspired power is used to deal with demons, it is even better than technological weapons.
As a result, the Demon Hunter Organization was born, and they relied on the collective power to start hunting demons, and then mastered the skills of the demons to control them, and in turn used the power of demons to deal with demons.
However, in the battle with the demons, the demon hunters found that occasionally there will be some very powerful demons, such demons, which are not at all able to compete with the demon hunter organization, they are very powerful and terrifying, once they appear, it may even lead to the destruction of an entire city.
However, the strange thing is that these very powerful demons are often destroyed not long after they appear.
As a result, in the dark world of demon hunters, there is a legend that these powerful demons were actually destroyed by an office called "Devil My Cry"!
It's just that this legend has not really been confirmed, because very few people have been able to see or encounter those powerful demons, and even those who have actually encountered them are basically dead...... However, there are more and more legends about a white-haired man in a red trench coat in this office......
There is no doubt that the appearance of demons has changed people's lives, and this is the real reason why Silas is now able to walk the streets without being seen as a monster with that terrible scythe and gun on his back.
Although many of the people who passed by Silas looked at him with strange eyes, none of them had any doubts about him, and people only avoided him instead of fearing him.
Silas was mistaken for a witcher......
But even so, Silas still felt unaccustomed, he had never lived in the human world, and after the novelty disappeared, all that was left was uncomfortable.
Especially, when he smelled the fragrance coming from the street, looked for the fragrance and found a shop selling barbecue, and went up to pick up a piece and eat it out of curiosity, but was called by the stall owner because he didn't know how to pay, he didn't like the world more and more.
Then, when the police arrived to arrest him, he resisted, and a vulnerable human cop was kicked unconscious, which led to more police chasing him and shooting him......
Realizing that he had caused a huge commotion, Silas, who was already insecure in this world, fled in a hurry, although these humans were very weak, but there were too many of them, and his intuition told him that if he killed these humans, he was afraid that there would be more trouble waiting for him, which would probably not help his mission......
So, the day after arriving in the human world, Silas began to miss his mother in embarrassment......
