Act One Hundred and Four. The Longest Day in Alexandria (Part II)
The endless black tide is an army of alchemy dolls for riot control.
Armed with weapons, they swept through all the humans they saw in their path.
Alexandria's army has long been secretly withdrawn by General Yegor, leaving only the police who do not know the truth, who suffered heavy casualties in the first wave of attacks on the alchemy dolls, and now they rely on some police equipment to fight, holding on to the police station and other places, and have little spare power to block the other alchemy dolls.
As for MI5......
With a pistol in his hand, McRowu hid on the third floor of a room near the Library of Alexandria.
He was also confused at the beginning of the attack, but after solving a few alchemy dolls, thinking of some files that had been investigated internally by MI5 before, McRowu vaguely guessed the current situation, that is, the alchemy puppets awakened to their consciousness and began to kill.
However, is such an organized and planned act of war really something that alchemy puppets can do?
Although McRowu is already a third-order ascender, it is more than enough to fight against ordinary people, and he can not fall behind in the battle of the upgrader, but, in the face of the vast number of alchemy dolls, he has no ability to fight at all, not to mention that he is the prototype of fate, the alchemy puppets are almost heavenly against him, McCro Wu can only dodge while moving towards the safest library of Alexandria.
At the same time, McRowood was aware that his current communication with the outside world, from the ordinary lines to the special lines of MI5, had been cut off, and Alexandria was completely isolated.
Are these alchemy dolls trying to completely exterminate humans in Alexandria?
McRowood couldn't even contact his other companions in the city, and because the murderer of the ABC serial murder case was going to be rounded up today, MI5 also sent a senior senior operator and several other ordinary operators in addition to the regular personnel, and these arrangements were not informed to the police and relevant personnel, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
One of them was McRowu, who was not in the harbor, but in the center of the city, checking on the situation.
That's why he was able to get out.
"Damn alchemy doll......"
McRowu saw that the riot alchemy puppet had entered the school city, approaching the magnificent Library of Alexandria.
"If you can enter the library and use the library's resources, maybe you can contact the outside world?"
He thought of it, and suddenly had an idea, and jumped down, moving through the shadows of the alley.
Just as McRowu turned a corner, a premonition of danger caused him to stop and turn at once.
Da-da-da-da
The bullet swept over where McRowu had been, a squad of black alchemy dolls, some of them forming a triangular formation, some clinging to the wall, silently, unconsciously approaching McRowu's location.
The alchemy puppet had no breath in complete silence, and even McCro Wu couldn't notice it.
"!"
McTrowu could imagine the alchemy dolls approaching him, and he looked around the corner, which was the main entrance to the Library of Alexandria, if he could escape there......
The alchemy puppet even deliberately made the sound of walking, step by step, giving McRowu huge psychological pressure.
His hands trembled, he gripped the pistol, and then, as if he had made a decision, closed his eyes.
When he opened it again, there was no fear in McRowu's heart.
He hypnotized himself!
McRowu dodged, and after a simple feint, he rushed out.
Da-da-da-da
The gunshots rang out as scheduled, capturing his movements.
The black alchemist idol jumps spiders from one wall to the other, chasing McCro Wu with a minigun in his wrist and eventually reuniting with him.
When McRowu was hit, he didn't actually feel anything.
He had already blocked out his pain through hypnosis, so he didn't know he had been hit until he saw his vision tilt and his thighs bloom with blood.
The force of the impact caused McCro to lose his balance, and he fell forward, and less than three meters from the door of the Library of Alexandria, the ascended person fell to the ground, his hand still outstretched forward.
Is that the end of it...... As McRowu's consciousness began to blur, he heard gunshots again.
This time, however, the bullet did not fall on him.
Where McTroe Wu couldn't see, the black alchemy dolls were shot down one by one, parts and limbs flew and fell to the ground, never to move again.
"It's ......"
In McTroo's hazy vision, he saw a pair of leather shoes.
It was a woman's leather shoe, and on the shiny black shoes were white calf socks and a skirt with lace.
It was a maid outfit.
Upward, there is an expressionless and delicate face, and the short orange-red hair flutters slightly, which is more heartwarming than the sun.
McRoe Wu knew that it was an alchemy doll.
One of the nine models of alchemy dolls specially made by the Library of Alexandria, the "Caliope" model named after the goddess of music.
In the hands of this alchemy doll, there is a black firearm.
"Hello, I am the alchemy doll of the Library of Alexandria, Kaliopo 003, and I judge that this gentleman has put your life in danger, so I have taken defensive measures."
Beside this alchemy puppet, alchemy dolls dressed in black and white maid costumes lined up, holding various weapons in their hands, standing at the door of the Library of Alexandria.
McRowu originally chuckled in his heart, thinking that this alchemy puppet was going to kill himself, but after hearing her words, he didn't know why, and his originally tense heart suddenly relaxed.
"You...... Won't it hurt me? β
He asked, hesitantly.
"Of course not, according to the first law of alchemy dolls, alchemy dolls are not allowed to harm humans, nor can they be ignored by witnessing humans being harmed."
The orange-haired alchemy doll Furui said without waves.
"At all times, I will always take the safety of human life as the first priority."
"This is my pact with humanity."
β...... It's also my pride as an alchemy puppet. β
Click
The sound of a bullet being loaded, and Caliope 003 raised the gun.
Opposite her, dozens of meters away, a large army of black alchemy dolls was already approaching, and the killing machines were not surprised by the appearance of these alchemy dolls in the library, in fact, they were just faithfully carrying out the task of killing humans, and did not have any emotions.
An alchemy puppet picks up McCro Wu and takes him back to the library.
At the entrance of the library, the dark blue long-haired Polynyan alchemy puppet came to the side of Caliope 003, if Bai Ge was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it, this was Polinian 012 who recruited him into the library.
"Briefing."
"At present, there are a large number of unidentified alchemy dolls attacking humans in the city, and Caliope has judged that it is some kind of major procedural error, and according to observation, more than a thousand alchemy dolls are moving towards this place, and their target is probably the Library of Alexandria."
The orange-haired Caliope 003 replied.
"Yes, then, according to the content of the processing manual, the library belongs, a total of one hundred and three alchemy dolls, will suspend their current work and enter the battle."
Polinia 012 said calmly, glancing at the vast army of black alchemy dolls in the distance.
"By the way, judging by the database carried by Kalioper, the difference in strength between us and the enemy is too great to defend this library on our own."
Caliope 003 paused and continued.
"But, Kalioper will keep fighting."
"I will continue to contact the curator, until then, please hold your line."
Polinya 012 said briefly and returned to the library.
McRo-Wu, who was receiving emergency treatment from the alchemy puppet, witnessed the scene.
He was well aware that these alchemy dolls were nothing more than executing code that had been inscribed into the underlying structure by humans when they were created.
All of this is nothing more than a mechanical reaction that is programmed and has no free will.
But looking at the backs of those alchemy dolls dressed as maids in the slowly closing door.
McCro Wu felt that perhaps these alchemy dolls had a more real heart than many humans.
...
...
Bai Ge shuttled through the shadows.
He used shadow jumping and vanishing magic to divert the attention of the alchemy dolls from the blind spot, and soon arrived at the door of the library of Alexandria.
Here, it is already full of the corpses of alchemical dolls.
The orange-haired Caliop type, the blue-haired Bolnyan model, and more, the black alchemy figures, fall here as if they had experienced a sinister war.
Bai Ge saw No. 003 of Caliope, who had played against him during the interview, No. 012 of Polinian, who presided over various tasks, and No. 032, who managed books.
The alchemy doll that used to work in the library with him now loses its luster and is falling to the ground.
Bai Ge knew that Speaker Randolph's army of alchemy puppets had broken through the library's defenses and were attacking the core area of the library.
He made a simple choice and decided to directly copy the trail and came to the White Tower.
It's not yet covered by the flames of war, and it's still peaceful.
Taking the elevator upstairs, Bai Ge arrived in the garden at the top of the tower.
Pushing open the door, the birds were singing and the flowers were scented, and the girl with long blond hair and ankles was lying on top of the huge spread book, seemingly bored with the contents of it.
"Do you still know to come back?"
Ralflanzer saw Bai Ge at a glance, she opened her eyes slightly, looked directly at the other party again, and said.
"I'm sorry, but now that the library is in a huge crisis, I need your strength."
Bai Ge approached Rafflanzer's side and said to the girl.
"I've heard from Koluwa that you're not really human, but the embodiment of a natural disaster, right?"
"Tsk...... The stealing cat. β
Raflanzer didn't meet Bai Ge's gaze, but casually looked at the book with the words of the old era of the Pan-Western Sea.
"The shepherd of the Great Library of Natural Disasters, the Monster Book is actually just a faΓ§ade, this natural disaster is a natural disaster that can gradually rewrite the surrounding reality, make it full of coincidences and accidents, and finally intertwine into a grand epic, and in the case of full activation, it can even cause the destruction of a country."
I am afraid that Speaker Randolph's choice of Alexandria as the location of the naming ceremony also had this element, and he wanted to use the fragments of Ravlanzer's history to elevate the true gods.
Bai Ge recalled the natural disaster file that Koluwa had shown him.
The most numerous of them are the Shepherds' Materials of the Great Library, which are said to have been written by Bai Lu after coming into close contact with the natural disaster.
β...... It's the most human, or the most activated, of all the natural disasters I've ever come into contact with, and it's hard for me to see it as an object rather than a human ......."
β...... The ascended will attract each other, and the fragments of similar history will also attract each other, so the shepherd of the Great Library will also attract similar beings to the Library of Alexandria, and all kinds of stories and accidents will almost inevitably appear around her......"
β...... I don't know how this child has spent all these years, she seems to be very lonely, because as long as she is close to her existence, she will become unhappy and miserable, and these negative emotions are the nutrients she depends on for survival......"
β...... I once asked this child if you would choose your current life if you had a choice, and her answer was that she wanted to be an ordinary girl, grow up ordinary, know the person she likes ordinarily, and spend her life ordinarily......"
β...... I have always been curious about this, whether it is his physiology or his will and soul ......that determine whether a person is human or not."
β...... No matter how human a natural disaster is, it is also a natural disaster, even if she is more like a human being than more people, I suggest finding a way to suppress its activation, otherwise, the power of the fragments of history will lead to a great catastrophe......"
β...... I have investigated the truth of this child's historical fragments, this is one of the most important poets of the Pan West Sea in the old times, his existence is the basis of some legends, he is more like the creator of gods and myths than gods, although he is blind, he can see farther than anyone, his name is enough to name an era......"
β...... I made a pact with this child, if one day I could find a way to suppress its activation and make her an ordinary girl, I would take her to see the burning sea, the frozen earth, and the unobscured starry sky, and although they all laughed at me, I thought that this day would come eventually......"
At this moment, in front of Bai Ge's eyes, it was one of the natural disasters, a fully activated abyss relic, the shepherd of the Great Library.
"Won't you be afraid?"
Rafflanzer said with his fingers in a circle, playing with the ends of his hair, as if random.
"I found the last Book of the Dead."
Bai Ge handed the blood-stained piece of paper to Ravlanzer, and the petite girl was slightly surprised, then took the piece of paper and put it in her mouth.
"Well, it's like a tea leaf that has been left for a long time, obviously withered and rotten, but after being soaked in boiling water, it exudes a fresh fragrance like a new leaf, bitter and sweet are mixed together, even if it passes through the throat, you can feel the timeless taste, which is my favorite story."
Rafflanzer closed his eyes and said with emotion.
"Also, one thing you may be mistaken, no one can stop me and trap me in this tower."
"I'm only here because of an agreement with some liar."
As the girl who was a natural disaster said, her white bare feet took a step.
