Chapter 63: Standing

It is obviously a ghost state, but the perception of various senses is amplified in an instant, this is not the kind of "lucidity" after Florent's potion injection, but a real confusion, to feel the madness in the most comprehensive posture.

The whole world seemed to have lost its light, and fell into this lightless world, and in the gray shadows, Lorenzo could see those huge silhouettes, evil whispers and manic murmurs constantly ringing in his ears, and the sound surrounded Lorenzo from far and near, as if there were countless invisible spirits telling him about the evil in the darkness.

He could feel something sticky wrapping around him, a sharp stinging pain in his back, and an old rust smell in his mouth...... That's blood.

The perceptions of the existing ghosts and the entities beneath the old Dunling began to communicate with each other under this unknown force, and they were on the verge of collapse.

The pressure increases, the body's functions sound alarms, and the heart beats violently.

Far beneath the old Dunling, black angels glowed red, extending electrodes protruding from the twisted flesh and machinery, which had been placed on Lorenzo's body beforehand, through which Merlin could now observe Lorenzo's condition.

All the indices were rising, and after the Black Angel entered this strange state, the fluctuations of the erosion became not strong, almost imperceptible, this degree could not erode others at all, but it was enough to dye a touch of white with a little gray, and plant a beacon to go down.

But it has nothing to do with the present, Merlin very early in the morning erosion of this intensity can't create this phenomenon at all, Lorenzo must be experiencing something.

The nightmare continued, everything happened so quickly, and so long, those burning eyes stared at the illusory shadows, he was locked by the new Pope, there was no chance to escape, and even body and mind were dragged into that terrible hell.

In fact, there is a misunderstanding that Lorenzo has never paid attention to.

He was a demon hunter, a demon hunter with secret blood, and the moment Lorenzo picked up the nail sword, the first enemy he faced was the demon, not the other witchers.

Lorenzo knows...... In other words, he knew the power of some demon hunters, but before the night of the Holy Arrival, he had not really fought with other demon hunters to the death, and naturally he could not know the true power of those powers.

It's like book knowledge and practice, Medanzo's power is to give armor, but under the witcher's due, this increased hardness can also be covered on the weapon, and it can be broken up in battle, replaced by a false body, and so on.

In the end, power is just a tool of war, the real strength and weakness depend on its users, Shang Dafeng can only predict the future in a few seconds, but this can make Lawrence invincible, and the unforgettable memory can make Hercule control the vast information empire.

As a witcher and the new pope of the Evangelical Church, Seni Lothair had more power than Lorenzo had imagined.

The terrible erosion was released from his body, and as the secret blood rose, he began to approach the demonic power.

The new Pope seemed to know far more about the state of the ghost than Lorenzo, and even from their brief conversation, he had fought the foe of such a ghost more than once.

"I won't give up, I won't ......"

The new pope said something Lorenzo couldn't understand, and approached again.

Fan Tie couldn't kill the ghost, but he obviously knew more, more than he knew how to fight the ghost's self.

In the chaotic madness, Lorenzo struggled to resist, and his still conscious mind was quickly thinking about the current situation and the information he knew.

In the ancient murmur, a more chilling truth is revealed.

Lorenzo felt as if he had returned to the desolate ice field, the ice was torn and knocked by the dry palms, and one illusory shadow after another crawled out of the dark blue and deep seabed, and they slowly stood up, gazing with Lorenzo at the world full of unknowns and mysteries.

I'm not the only one.

From the words of the new pope, it can be concluded that Lorenzo is not the only ghost, there are many more in this world...... Someone who can control the Gap, and they ...... Wanted to kill the new pope.

It was a gray world, huddled on an island surrounded by mist, hugging each other, soaking up the only warmth, never looking at the world beyond the island, ignoring the undercurrent of the ocean, ignoring the living mist.

In this way, it is good to live in ignorance, to live in isolation from the forbidden knowledge, in a world of self-castration.

But one day, a madman raised a torch and raised his sails, and he set sail for the unknown sea.

And so it all began.

In extreme pain, Lorenzo laughed wildly, and the vague phantom slowly raised his head, as if the new pope didn't expect Lorenzo to be relieved, he was hideous and terrifying, but unfortunately no one could see it.

Closer, closer, Lorenzo closer to the unknown, the truth of this world.

"Come on...... Give it a try!"

Lorenzo roared, punching in the twisted vision, he couldn't interfere on a physical plane, but he could invade the new pope and continue to fight in that spiritual world.

He was about to do it, the illusory beast launched an onslaught on the new pope, ignoring the pain and suffering, everything would have its final answer, but at this moment, a hand grabbed Lorenzo.

"It's time for you to go back. ”

The man said.

The anger was extinguished in an instant, and even the new pope was stunned, although he could not see it, but he could perceive it, and the sensitivity to these evils was like a torch in the night.

Lorenzo turned his head slowly, but before he could see everything, the long-held connection was severed, the line from the old Dunling to the Stagnant Sanctuary was severed, the journey across thousands of miles was repatriated, and the illusory figure collapsed in an instant, disappearing into the air, as if Lorenzo had never been there.

The calm lasted only a short moment, and the new pope slowly raised the blade of his sword, looking vigilantly at the void in front of him, and the fire in his eyes burned like daylight.

Seny Lothair...... Is this your new name? Not bad. ”

The man's voice sounded directly in his head, and he was far more skilled in the application of [gap] than Lorenzo.

"Who are you?"

This person knows himself, at least his past self.

The new pope asked calmly, he had clearly noticed that the difference between the visitors of today was that unlike those who wanted to kill themselves, they were like hares that had strayed into a cave, though they were extremely deadly.

The man didn't answer, but said something else.

"Those unclean gatekeepers are still there, be careful, after all, you, as the Pope, are their primary target. ”

With a gentle smile, he finished speaking, and the illusory shadow collapsed into the air like Lorenzo in an instant, and the fluttering petals also fell into silence and fell into a long sleep.

......

Consciousness nearly fainted, and in the unbearable stinging pain, Lorenzo heard a faint voice.

"Lorenzo!

It seemed as if someone was calling him, his voice sounding extremely indistinct, and everything was so tired, the feeling reminded him of 121A Cork Street.

The nest where Lorenzo could rest for a while, and sometimes he slept all day, and Madame van Loude would slam the door and call out to him, like sleepy sleep, until the sound grew louder and louder, and Lorenzo slowly opened his eyes in the twisted flesh and slime.

"Lorenzo!"

Merlin shouted loudly.

He was lying on the ladder, still wielding a hammer in his hand, shouting as he slammed the plate armor on the black angel's chest.

No one could have imagined that he, who was so scrawny, could swing such a heavy object, and the old thing looked very sad, like a dead relative.

The rest of the people were also helping, and everyone was trying to lift the mechanical arm with sparks shining on it.

"Mei ...... Forest. ”

A weak voice froze the falling hammer, and Merlin looked at the twisted armor in front of him, and then shouted to the people inside.

"Are you sober?"

Merlin asked, Lorenzo had not been in a coma for a long time, but in this time, Merlin's ideological struggle had come several times, although he had a pathological obsession with the truth, but Lorenzo fell into a coma before he touched the door of truth, which really made him feel mad, but at last he came to his senses.

"I ......"

There was a tingling in my head, every time, it seemed to be the after-effects of shuttling [gap], and it seemed that when shuttling [gap], my body was out of control, just like Lawrence.

But suddenly the noise of friction between metals sounded, and the scarlet flesh like silk threads broke one by one, and at the same time, the iron feathers that had been gathered were slowly unfolding.

It wasn't actually a wing, it was an iron blade that ran along the Black Angel's arm, but it spread out like a wing.

They grew in thin layers on top of the flesh, extending to the armpits, and then turning to the shoulders, expanding the iron feathers even further.

The sharp edges easily cut off the fixed flesh and machinery, and before Merlin could climb down the ladder, the Black Angel lost all his restraint and fell from mid-air.

The heart that had finally been put down hung again, and Merlin waved his hand indiscriminately, and finally grabbed a hanging iron chain before the free fall and swung it to the mechanical arm on the side.

Although he is a scientific researcher, in Merlin's words, his skills are actually okay, after all, in the past, alchemists competed with each other for the truth, and it was faster than chasing after their opponents in scientific research and directly cutting him with a sword.

Don't judge these brain-questioning alchemists, weapons ready, scientists retreating into bunkers, security teams ready to fight bravely, Lorenzo's crisis has just ended, and for them, the crisis has just begun.

From their point of view, the Black Angel had just entered a strange state, and the erosion was immeasurable, and then Lorenzo, who was unconscious, woke up, so at this moment was he friend or foe?

The smoke and dust cleared, and under the pitch-black iron feathers, the black angel half-knelt on the ground, like a wounded warrior, and at the same time, a slightly painful voice sounded.

"Good...... It hurts...... What did you do?"

The pain in his mind and the pain in his body all came to him, and Lorenzo was not one to cry out for pain easily, but at this moment he almost fainted again.

"Awakening measures, after all, according to our data, after falling unconscious in the armor of original sin, you will be devoured by the flesh and blood of demons, and you may become inhuman and ghostly when you wake up, and if you can't wake up, you may be able to harness the black angel to cut through the perpetual motion pump. ”

Merlin stood on a mechanical arm high up, his back to the searchlight, condescending.

"We activated the emergency system inside the armor, and although it was damaged by the proliferating flesh within seconds of activation, we were able to inject a large dose of Florent Potion into your body, and at the same time electrify the armor. ”

"Electrified?"

Armor Lorenzo coughed hard, and each time he felt himself vomiting blood.

"The electrical current is effective in inhibiting muscle activity, although it is relatively primitive, but it is very effective...... Well...... Of course, there is a certain amount of lethality, but it is also to demons anyway, so it doesn't have to be so gentle, right? ”

Merlin shouted at Lorenzo from above, the distance between the two was indeed a bit far away, and only then could he hear it.

"But I'm still in there!"

Lorenzo couldn't help but shout, a heart-rending pain came from his body, maybe he was killed by these people before he could be hacked to death by the new pope.

"This is an original sin armor mixed with the flesh and blood of the Holy Grail, and you can't be taken too seriously, and you're still a witcher, aren't you? ”

Merlin continued, "And inside the armor, the driver's part is insulated, and it will be activated when the power is on, and while it doesn't guarantee that you're 100% safe, at least it's not that risky. ”

"But I'm still electrocuted!"

Lorenzo cursed.

"Yes, yes, because the diaphragm layer was covered with flesh before it was activated, and the Black Angel was like this, perhaps because it was mixed with the flesh of the Holy Grail, its activity was much higher than that of other original sin armor, often covering the mechanical part, and sometimes I couldn't tell if it was the original sin armor or a demon that could pretend to be human. ”

Merlin was not serious, chatting casually with Lorenzo.

"Lorenzo, are you okay, can you stand up?"

Lorenzo didn't bother to pay attention to him, and tried to look at the place where there was light, the cracks in the steel were not yet covered with flesh, and he could see the outside world.

Like a toddler, following his instincts, Lorenzo tried to get up from the ground, but he didn't think that he was inside his armor at the moment, wrapped in a pile of sticky flesh, he was just thinking about standing up and his body following suit.

"Seeing that you are so miserable, how about I invite you to dinner afterwards......? How about looking up at the starry sky faction?"

Merlin's damn voice came, and Lorenzo listened to his words, remembering those goddamn fish heads, and couldn't help but curse.

"Stop talking nonsense, okay?"

"Do you think I'm a talker?"

Merlin replied, his back to the light, his figure pitch black.

"Lorenzo Holmes, you have awakened to your sanity, you are able to communicate with humans normally, you are logical, you are in control of your body, and your Geiger index has stabilized. ”

Merlin didn't look at him at all, he just gossiped to himself, standing on the mechanical arm to record the data for the notes in his hand, and these were not nonsense, he was just testing Lorenzo's sanity from the simplest point of view.

He slowly raised his head, and on his stiff face, there was finally a little light in those eyes that had been empty for an unknown amount of time, and he put away his notes and applauded.

"Congratulations, Lorenzo Holmes, it looks like you've succeeded. ”

The flesh rose and fell with his breath, the iron feathers rubbed slightly and made a small crushing sound, a low roar came from his chest, the steam engine continued to run in the dark red light, Lorenzo slowly stood up, the black angel was shrouded in the dome light, standing above the earth.
