Gear City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

From the very beginning of its establishment by the first lords, it was already a city surrounded by a circular and towering wall.

The walls reached to the sky, but the gates were gone.

It's a besieged city.

The people outside can't get in, and the people inside can't get out.

It's like a cookie jar without a lid.

……

Sometimes I look at myself and feel like I'm stupid.

Why does it have to be so complicated when you can do something that can be done once in death?

I was standing in the underground laboratory of the City Lord's Mansion, where my soul matrix was located, and there was still a little white light on my body that had just been resurrected.

But to be honest, I don't have what it takes to create a soul matrix.

So this matrix was actually bound by Elise for me.

In other words, if I still have access to this matrix, it means that Elise is still alive.

"Alright." I patted myself on the face to recover a little from the confusion of my resurrection, and then hurried out the door and ran down the hallway.

The last barrier between the laboratory and the outside world was a carved gate that led to the garden of the City Lord's Mansion, and I stood in front of it and pushed it hard.

The black and red world covered my eyes.

Rotting corpses are rampant, black fog is raging, and there are even huge monsters with unknown names hunting everywhere.

In addition to the surrounding environment, this place is simply Jianliang at that time.

"Quick Construct Beam Saber!" I summoned my lightsaber and sprinted towards the City Lord's Mansion. The ghosts and ghosts on the road are all smashed.

On the way, I took a closer look and realized that something was wrong.

Jianliang fell because the city gate was broken, but what was the reason for Gear City?

The gates of Gear City can be clearly seen from anywhere in the city, after all, it is such a tall and majestic thing, it is impossible not to see it, at most it is to turn a blind eye.

But the gate did not crumble, nor did it open, nor did it damage the walls.

The cataclysm is incredible.

Wrong.

There is still a possibility.

And this possibility has been questioned by me before.

What if the black fog invaded itself and directly corrupted the inhabitants of the city?

Once again, this terrible thought was thrown at me.

Although terrifying, this is the only possibility of the current event happening.

I kicked open the gate of the City Lord's Mansion with a heavy blow, and the two soldiers who had been guarding it were long gone.

There was silence in the house.

The lord and a few men collapsed on the stairs, and I probed with my eagle eye, and there were already several corpses.

There was no Elise among them, but there were several of her brothers.

I sighed, dragged the bodies of several of them to a corner, and saluted.

Elise is still alive.

With this in mind, I continued to run upstairs.

Flashing around a corner, several carrion corpses burst out of the door in the hallway.

No, they're not ordinary carrions.

Carrion corpses don't run, their rotting bodies are not so agile.

Defenseless for a moment, my torso crushed with a claw.

-98

More than half of the blood trough has been cut off.

Surprised, I reacted quickly, grabbed the assailant's sticky right hand, and stabbed my backhand sword into its emaciated head.

The amount of carrion is not high, and the high temperature can restrain them, so such attacks are usually instant kills.

But this time it doesn't seem to be the same.

Even though the skull was pierced by my hot lightsaber, it tried to stand upright and fight back.

"Quick-build automatic pistol!"

The left hand was not idle, and a pistol quickly took shape, and then pressed it against its forehead.

Several shots were fired.

Bursting blood and black unidentified matter erupted from the back of its head, and it collapsed contentedly.

But that's not the end of it.

In the darkness, two pairs of eyes were staring at me, ready to pounce on me at any moment.

If you don't do it first, I'm going to be rude.

Leaning against the wall, I lunged at the nearest one, lightsaber across my chest.

As if knowing what I meant, the carrion also launched an attack on me.

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.

With the torso as the center of the circle, the body quickly rotated in a circle, driving the arms and lightsabers.

The blade of light that swirled in the air for a week left a tiny scorch in the air, mixed with the smell of charred rotting flesh.

The rotting corpse was broken in half and scattered in the corner, and the black mist slowly flowed away from its body, floating up the next floor.

This made me pay attention to where the black mist was going.

"Roar—" The last one, dissatisfied with my snubbing, seemed to want to get my attention by roaring.

"Bang bang."

With 5 shots in a row, I finished the only 5 rounds left in the magazine.

It quieted down, and the black mist flowed from beneath it.

Although these three unusual carrion corpses deserve attention, it has to be said that the whereabouts of the black fog are more concerning now.

I watched the black mist and followed it.

……

"Very good." The results of the investigation were beyond Yanshu's expectations.

The 5 people who had stopped Xuanyin and Autumn Frost Moon actually played the game "Undefined".

"Then the matter will be settled." He smiled, a visceral, even weird smile.

At this moment, the Misty Believer suddenly realized something.

"Oh no, didn't I go online for a day today?"

He subconsciously looked at his watch.

3 a.m.

……

I was shocked by the scene that unfolded in front of me.

We followed the black mist straight up, and finally reached the rooftop of the Lord's Mansion.

On the rooftop, the first thing I saw was Elise, suspended in the air, surrounded by a majestic sun.

The four wings of steel behind her vibrated slightly in the air, like angels.

Elise constantly travels from city to city, destroying rotting corpses and rescuing people who are not yet infected.

Hordes of rotting corpses fell, and the black mist that clinged to them slowly floated up towards the rooftop.

"Molten Iron Ji, give up, everything you have done is meaningless, and your current efforts are just to repay your karma." The man standing on the edge of the rooftop said to Elise, his body stained with black fog that made it difficult to see his appearance.

All the black mist that flew towards the rooftop eventually wrapped around the man, and then was swallowed by the man.

He tilted his head, as if enjoying this feast of black fog very much.

But Elise didn't give up, she still repeated what she had done before.

And because of this, the black fog also came in droves.

They scrambled to wrap around the man's body, then sank into his body.

The man stood proudly on the city gate, his posture erect, like a soldier.

At this moment, thousands of black mist gathered in his body, and his momentum seemed to dominate the world, even if the light of Elise soaring in the sky was strong, it could not hide his majestic aura.

Although there is only darkness around him at the moment, it seems that he is the sun at this moment, and his brightness is greater than all the light in the world.

Then the light burst open and quickly faded away.

All the black mist was completely absorbed by him, and he finally revealed his true form.

Dressed in heavy white cloth armor, his face was interspersed with resolute angular edges, and the sword at his waist.

"Captain Xie?" I didn't dare to recognize each other for a while.

He turned his head and made a slight discerning of me.

"Ah, you're the Edge Night."

Then, the expression on his face changed to confusion.

"No, I remember that the game's network channel should be closed to the outside world now." He pointed his finger at me, "How did you break through this barrier and break in?" ”

"Ahh Without waiting for me to reply, he looked at me and began to talk to himself again.

He walked slowly over to me and looked around me.

"So it was, so it was." He laughed, "You're not a whole person, are you?" ”

I'm confused, AI isn't human?

"You have only the soul of this world, but you have no body of your own." He continued, "It feels so familiar to me...... It's like ......"

"It's like the black mist clinging to the corpses."

He put his finger in front of me, and a wisp of black mist seeped out of his finger, drifted away from it for a moment, and then disappeared into it.

"What the hell happened to you...... What's going on with Gear City? I couldn't help it, and finally interrupted his self-congratulation.

He looked at me like a student.

Then he turned his head and stared at Elise flying in the sky.

"Did you know that I encountered a black fog on my way to find out the truth about the plague?" He began to tell.

"I thought I was going to die, but I escaped disaster behind a boulder. The black fog obscured the sky and kept going on and on, and when they finally cleared, I found a buried cavern. ”

Cavern? Boulders? Isn't that the same place in the beginning?

"I pulled out my pickaxe, dug three feet into the ground, and finally dug out the entrance, which was a deep tunnel, surrounded by a physical plague, and if you touched it, it would go up the roots and corrode your whole person." He paused, "It's like I've been walking that road for a year." “

Didn't the interior of that cave collapse? I was a little shocked.

"I walked and walked, getting deeper and deeper, and it felt like the world was no longer bright." "But just then, a wall suddenly appeared in front of me. “

"I was in despair, 'I've been walking for so long, is this the wall?' and as I thought about it, I noticed a crack in the wall." His tone became agitated, "I took out my pickaxe and chiseled hard at the rift. ”

"Eventually, the crack spread bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, until the whole wall cracked open."

"Do you know what's behind that wall?" He became more and more excited, completely losing his previous steadiness and maturity.

"It's a ball! A big ball! That's the product of all the black fog coming together! That is, the source of the plague! His eyes were about to pop out, "it was beating there like a heart, and there was some black mist around it from time to time. ”

"When that wall shattered, it seemed to have the intelligence to find me, the intruder, and then engulf me in an instant." He recalled, with a hint of emotion in his tone.

"Then why are you still standing here?" I interjected.

He glanced at me, a little disdainful, a little proud.

"My vengeful steadfast soul is stronger than its corrosive power, and with my strong willpower I stopped its erosion of me, and in the end, I swallowed it!" Xie Yan's arrogance with a smile.

"Finally." Xie Yan suppressed his smile and stepped forward.

"I stepped forward and jumped into that ball."

"And then."

"I devoured the source of the plague and fused with all the black mist, and I, through the memory of the source of the plague, know everything!"

"Elise! The debt of Gear City will eventually be repaid by you Gear City! ”

Xie Yan angrily tore off the heavy cloth armor on his body, and let all the black mist on his body burst out together, like a blowout, stretching in the air.

The dark dragon dances in the deep night.
