Chapter 10: The Frosting Mist
It was indescribably strange and terrifying, as if all the disgusting things in the world had gathered together at this moment, slowly squirming, releasing a strange cry.
The indescribable are carved with terrifying symbols, coming from the mist, constantly approaching the witchers, they seek absolute death, the silence of all things.
The resolute heart was slightly shaken, and in the teachings of the Order, 042 attributed all the anomalies to the demons, but now this is not from the power of the demons, but another kind of unknown.
Fear of the unknown.
The demon hunters trembled at first, but they still slowly clenched their swords, their eyes fierce and their fiery anger burning.
What makes them different from ordinary people is that they are demon hunters, skilled and cruel demon hunters.
Cowardice, pity, cowardice...... They have abandoned all the inferiorities of humanity and walked on the battlefield of despair with absolute sanity.
"We are surrounded by enemies on all sides, but we are not trapped, we are troubled in our hearts, but we are not disappointed, we are persecuted, but we are not discarded, we are smitten, but we are not killed. ”
016 prayed in a low voice, the woman's voice clear, as if it were the only light in the darkness.
The next moment, the demon hunters became fierce tigers and jumped out.
042 rushed to the front, he didn't look directly at those strange things, but observed their location with the rest of his eyes, and with the protection of his armor, he could avoid most attacks.
nail the sword dàng), with a sprinkled blood curtain.
The bolts pierced the mist, one after another, casting a silver light trail in the gray mist, in which 011 did not stop, unlike the chariot-like advance of 042, he was as light as a feather, and in the chaos, countless knife lights fell, but they grazed his body.
He gripped the spike sword tightly, and as he brushed shoulders with the monstrous creatures, the spike sword left a cruel wound on it.
Shang Dafeng is sheltering him, the future is already destined in his eyes, and in the staggered of death, he finds the route to survival.
042's offensive frenzy, unconcerned about the enemy's attacks, saw those dangerous sharp knives fall, and only a little spark exploded on the armor, and he turned and slashed, while the hardness of the armor grew along his arm towards the nail sword.
The enemy is not a demon, and the holy silver on the nail sword no longer has the suppressive power that it opposes, so what he has to do is to increase the killing range.
In fact, Medanzo's strength is best suited to frontal battles, and under the protection of armor, they are the most powerful penetrators, whether it is arrows or projectiles, it is difficult to repel them.
The pitch-black hardness enveloped the nail sword, and it continued to grow and lengthen, stretching the scale of the nail sword again, like a great sword.
042 swung it up with great force, easily cutting off the enemy in front of him, and blood gushed wildly.
Essentially, Medanzo's power is not to forge armor, but to produce a hard body like armor, and it will spread to a certain extent as the body extends.
Gentle breathing spilled out from under the visor, emitting a faint white mist.
The greatsword is different from the regular blade, it is huge and heavy, it is not easy to carry, but it has a full deterrence, of course, in the face of these crazy monsters, there is no need for deterrence.
Under this kind of weapon that is difficult for ordinary people to control, conventional cold weapons will be easily suppressed by it, or even broken.
042 now only needs to increase the killing area and killing efficiency, and now this jet-black greatsword has an absolute advantage in the melee.
I saw him slowly swing the big sword, just like people often joked, the windmill of the blade slowly turned, and the speed was not fast.
But this was when 042 was at his most dangerous, something twisted attacked, and 042 didn't look at them, relying only on the instinct of battle, the speed of the swing of the sword suddenly accelerated.
The slow windmill seemed to be lifted by the wind, and the blade of the sword that could be discerned quickly turned into a pitch-black afterimage, and slashed down in an instant.
This is actually a defensive posture, the swordsman slowly swings the big sword, while deterring the enemy, he can also accelerate the attack at the moment of the enemy's attack, or block the counterattack, but this is not needed for 042, he doesn't need any defense at all with armor protection, he just needs to attack and keep advancing.
Turning into a nightmarish storm, the blade slashes blood like a wrecker.
It was a terrifying spectacle, and he was constantly compressing the enemy's space to move, and although it didn't depict the symbol that pressured the observer, the ferocity of 042 was demonic.
Just like the previous battles, the battle was one-sided from the start, and when faced with an absolutely sane witcher, the proud horror was useless.
With the slashing of the great sword, the blood erased the imprint of the symbol, and the demons that were difficult to look at revealed their prototypes, as 042 had expected, the inhabitants of the place, or the believers of the Last Society.
Erasing the symbols, and erasing the robe of fear, 016 passed by 042's side, two silver daggers flashing one after another, unlike 011 and 042, who were blindly seeking to kill enemies, she thought more than them.
Perhaps it was the power of Raphael, which made 016 vaguely guess the truth about this valley town, and she needed to do some experiments on these people.
Her shadow was agile, sliding on the ground and leaping again, severing people's tendons and inserting them into the gaps in their joints, incapacitating them.
Like a good physician, he can balance his enemies without letting them die.
These people may be the devout believers, without fear, even if 042 is so suppressed, it still keeps surging, and there is a strange power surging in the sword light and sword shadow, and it suddenly rises.
As if it was a beep, a sharp and high-frequency sound sounded in his head, and 042's sword-wielding hand took a step slower, and the continuous sword momentum was interrupted, and people flocked to it.
Perhaps anticipating this anomaly, 011 distanced himself at the critical moment, but the sharp sting did not deter him.
016 wasn't too affected, but she seemed to have discovered the truth about Valle Town in the midst of her brief throes.
Someone waved the rusty blade, but paused for the moment of staring directly at 016, she said.
"Get out of the way. ”
She didn't even dodge, her fiery pupils slowly condensing into substance, like a glowing mirror, in which the symbol-strewn cheeks were reflected.
The blade didn't fall, and the man seemed to freeze, and he looked at 016 dumbfounded, and in his eyes, the already twisted world became more and more hideous, and 016's body began to twist, and began to march towards the fear that humans could not bear.
He hallucinated a myriad of tiny voices, intertwined, as if some ancient one were whispering in his ear, telling secrets that no mortal could hear.
The pain was intense in his mind, then blood poured out of his ears and nose, and finally his entire eyeball was bloodshot, and blood and tears flowed.
The fire of death was extinguished, and the man seemed to suddenly realize the absurdity of it all, and then he lost his mind, and then fear, let out a desolate scream, and staggered back.
But there was no time to repent, his consciousness began to crumble, and there was no attack on **, but his spirit was already full of holes in that brief look, and the endless nightmare completely destroyed his will, and he fell straight down.
Looking at the fallen corpse, the strange feeling faded little by little as the blood washed away the symbol.
But that wasn't enough, 016 was keenly aware of something else interfering with him, and had been by his side since he entered Vale Town.
She seemed to think of something, looked around, and after a brief moment of distraction, she laughed at herself, as if she was laughing at herself for not even thinking of such a thing.
"Fix it quickly, 042, I know what's wrong. ”
016 shouted at the center of the melee, his crossbow striking at each other, killing those who were prepared alive, none of which seemed to her to matter at the moment.
Outside of the story, the four of them watched the bloody slaughter from afar, and everything was about to come to an end.
"She's always been the smartest one, good and efficient, and although 042 is the leader of the squad, the real brain is her. ”
Lorenzo looked at the familiar shadow under the gray mist, and said with some nostalgia, he still misses that time very much, although the evangelical church is stupid), but at least his companions are not, although they like to kill demons, but everyone is a good person, but great.
"Would the great Holmes also recognize the intelligence of others?" quipped the kestrels.
"Of course, I never skimp on complimenting good people...... Idiots are exceptional. ”
Lorenzo said without hesitation.
"Where does that come from?" asked the robin, curious about all things Valle.
It's not an anomaly, and even the purifier doesn't seem to have encountered any of this.
"It's always been ...... It's always been influencing us, from the moment we entered Vale. ”
Lorenzo spoke in unison with 016 in the story.
Inside and outside the story, different eyes look at them.
016 slowly raised his hand, as if to touch the gray mist. It shrouded in this valley, and its weight could not be dispelled, and it was everywhere.
"It's the fog, and it's the fog that's the source of the impact. ”
016 uttered her reasoning.
If there was anything that had always been there and affected them, it was the eerie gray mist.
"But I didn't notice anything unusual. 011 said.
"Yes, that's what's weird about it...... We've all been misled by our own common sense," 016 said, "Remember the example I always gave you?" ”
042 beheaded the last man and stood among the corpses, but he didn't answer 016's words, and remained silent.
“042?”
011 shouted tentatively, but his hand couldn't help but clench the nail sword, and then Shang Dafeng foresaw it.
042's shadow swayed, as if it was suffering some kind of torture, and with the tumbling of blood, the breath of blood also overflowed into the mist, adding to the strange power.
016 immediately made a judgment, and instead of retreating, he approached 042, and before 042 could make any unnecessary movements, he pressed his visor hard.
"Look at me. ”
She roared, and then the roar turned to a soft calm, and the strange world began to become serene, as if in a cradle, 042 stared into the blazing white eyes, and the tension gradually stopped, as if immersed in the warm water.
Power Raphael.
Weaving a world of illusion and illusion, but when you get lost in it, the illusion will also become the real world.
Under 016's gaze, 042's agitated heart gradually calmed down.
"That's why I said you have a lot of potential to be a doctor...... It's just a psychiatrist. ”
042 escaped from the illusion of calm, and in this extremely oppressive environment, the illusion created by 016 was a good way to relieve the tension.
Still, 042 was wary, he knew the extent to which the extreme of this power could go, and in that delusional hallucination, the lost would lose themselves, and even be implanted with false memories and fall into endless madness.
"I think too, this kind of power doesn't have much effect on these crazy people. ”
How crazy can an already crazy guy be?
016 held 042, the exhaustion after the battle and the strange oppression of the fog made 042 lose his mind for a short time, although the mind of the witcher will not sink here, but everything that follows is unknown, 016 has to ensure that the team will not have problems.
"What the hell are you talking about fog?"
011 asked, and he began to wonder about it as well.
In the pile of corpses, reddish gas spilled from the blood, mixing with the mist.
"I don't know, but what is certain is that the problem must be the fog, and this is the only thing that can affect us all the time, after all, we all need to breathe. ”
016 said, walking over to a corpse, and instead of looking away, she looked directly at the symbol-covered cheek.
Look at the unknown with absolute reason, not be affected by mystery, and explain and guide them with cold regulations.
"We are all misguided, as demon hunters, we blame all our problems on demons, but we don't think about it, it doesn't belong to the power of demons. ”
016 lowered, and she wiped a little blood with her fingers.
Seeing her actions, 042 said vigilantly, "What are you going to do? ”
016 seemed indifferent, "Our secret blood is the most poisonous thing, and I need to prove my guesses." ”
She ate the blood on her fingers, and a feeling of chaos and disgust rushed over her, a more intense and clear feeling.
As a master of illusion, 016 knew exactly what this strange feeling was, and she began to understand why the witcher didn't figure out in the first place.
"Sometimes it's not a good thing that we're too strong. ”
She said, looking at the gray mist.
"There's hallucinogenic ingredients in this blood...... It all makes sense. ”
"Hallucinogenic?" 011 is aware of the problem, and when the unknown becomes known, you'll be amazed at how easy it can be.
"That's right, hallucinogenic people, large doses of hallucinogenic substances, excessive accumulations in the bloodstream...... It's these fogs that have been affecting us, hallucinogenic fogs. ”
016 said as he looked at the hazy mist.
011 and 042's eyes suddenly became vigilant, and the root of everything was the fog in front of them, the fog that swallowed everything.
"Yes, these people, all of the people in Valle Town live in high concentrations of hallucinogens, and if they don't go crazy, they are weird, and that's why we perceive anomalies, and we are also affected by this hallucination. 016 said.
"But we don't have strong hallucinations. 011 asked.
"What do you think the witcher's constitution is?" 016 said unceremoniously, "The powerful constitution also slows us down, these hallucinogenic ingredients diluted in the mist are difficult to hallucinate for a while, but they can make us shake slightly, like those symbols. ”
His gaze fell on the frightened symbols.
"This symbol only leads to fear, and it is this subtle hallucination that shakes us, and even says that everything in this valley town is directing rational life to the destruction of fear. ”
Looking around the gray and oppressive world, everything is so weird.
"We've got to find that thing......" 016 has a goal.
"What's that?" may have been heavily affected, and 042 couldn't keep up with 016's train of thought.
"Something has to be causing the hallucinogenic element to spread, right? If it's not a demon, then it must be something the Terminal Society is doing. ”
016 continued.
"They have artificially created a large illusion, yes, under the effect of this hallucination, heaven and hell have become easily accessible, and with the guidance of a little symbol, the reason can be led to madness...... They must have been doing something to create this fog. ”
This was a shivering fog that enveloped the entire valley town.
