The blood of the demons linked the steam to the machinery, and the knights of armor ran wildly on the path of the flames created by the dragon's breath, and thousands of demons followed them beyond the sea of fire, with piercing roars, like wolves chasing their prey.

Shrike's vision had begun to blur, his willpower was much weaker than he had imagined, and he mechanically removed his armor and firebolt, and then opened a dragon's breath path in the demon-infested land, the heat scorched the solid armor, and the metal was already red, even slightly melted.

The boiling hot iron melted together the complex mechanical structures, and the shrike became more and more difficult to move as if his feet were frozen.

Perhaps those madmen never thought that the shrike would travel in the sea of fire for so long when they designed this armor, and if it were not for the blood of the demons as a filling and link between the machines, the shrike would have fallen into the sea of fire

It was not time to stop, when the arm reached for the weapon rack on his back again, but he did not touch anything, the firearms were exhausted, but in that blurred vision the shrike was still some distance from the bow of the Brilliant.

It was a difficult distance, the demons had been watching over the two of them, they were hungry, it would be the fiercest attack, and in the state of the shrike, he didn't know if he could hold it out.

"Blue Jade ......"

Her voice was a little weak, but soon the narrow vision of the visor revealed the blue jade face, and she crouched over her shoulders, her arms wrapped around his helmet as if she were hugging him.

"I know what you're going to say, rush forward and don't stop. ”

Blue Emerald kept her composure, and the rising fireworks ignited her big fire, so she now only had a patch of leather and armor, like a dark elf.

There was no strength left to speak, and even to say that thinking was a difficult task, and the shrike was silent again, but he had all his strength, and then rushed out of the fire.

At that moment, countless demons leaped in, they were like a tidal wave, their twisted arms scratching at the scarred plate armor, and even some of the demons tried to climb up with the bulge on the armor, but they were killed by the blue jade's gunfire, and the burning aluminum bullets left charred round holes in their heads, falling from the armor, and then being engulfed by the surging black tide.

It's almost there.

The armor was so heavy that he ran like a rhinoceros and crushed the demons in his way.

The front of the Radiance was close at hand, but then the shrike realized the problem, in order to deal with the attack of the demons, the entire carriage was not only reinforced and strengthened, according to the design, after the emergency stop, the door would be locked from the inside to ensure the safety of the people in the car, and it was also because of this design that the soldiers who fell into the dream were still sleeping safely in the carriage.

But this layer of protection has become the final hurdle.

How to open the car door under the attack of demons? Whether it is a shrike or a blue jade, as long as they stop moving, they will inevitably be besieged by demons and die.

This kind of thinking didn't last long, Shrike grabbed the blue jade on her shoulder without thinking about it, she was still panicked at first, but then she understood what Shrike was going to do, she wanted to stop it, but Shrike didn't give her a chance to choose at all, her legs stopped suddenly, leaving two deep marks on the ground, and then he threw the blue jade up hard.

Only an elegant arc could be seen, and the shadow of the blue jade swayed in the air, and then landed steadily on the carriage, and at this time, the shrike cāo) raised the great sword, twisted it all, and swung a huge sword arc, with the power of the original sin armor, it opened up a vacancy.

Like a dam between life and death, the shrike is ahead of the demons, and he has to buy time for the blue jade to open the car door, and there is no dialogue in the whole process.

Every second seemed so precious at the moment, the shrike fought and retreated, the demons were overwhelming, his movements began to appear sluggish, his sharp hooks cut into the gaps in the armor, the demons greedily bitten, tearing off one plate after another, and the complex machinery was displayed without protection.

It's like a war hundreds of years ago, when an armor-piercing knight had an absolute chance of winning on the battlefield, and the blade of the sword would only splash dazzling sparks on the solid armor, but it would not hurt the knight in the slightest, so those people would try to trap the knight and then stab the short knife into the crack of the armor.

There are as many demons as ant colonies, they use their bloody bodies to jam the joints of Shrike, the joints are stuck and he can't swing the blade at all, they are stacked on top of him, Shrike finally can't support it, and knelt down weakly, and then his vision is completely filled by demons.

There was only an endless wail in his ears, which never stopped, and countless palms tore at the armor, rubbing against the metal and making a sharp sound, the armor was being peeled off little by little, and the shrike could no longer wield his sword, he was like a dying man, and this armor became his grave.

In fact, he was already at the end of his crossbow, his eyes were slightly raised, and he could see the demon's hideous face through the gap in his visor, blood mixed with slime dripping from the gap with a disgusting smell.

Shrike was dying, and he could finally rest, but just as he was about to close his tired eyes, he saw again, in the gap, the blue jade opened the car door with force, she had opened a small gap, but behind her countless demons were heading towards her.

Yes, the shrike has fallen, no one can contain the demons for her, and she is going to die.

As if remembering something, the shrike heard another voice.

[You want to save her, right?] 】

Accept me. 】

[Become one with me......]

A strange voice sounded in his ears, as if someone was whispering to himself, and the demon's face began to distort, and then became unanimous, as if some ancient being was talking to him...... No, it's this damn armor.

The level of erosion of the shrike is on the verge of breaking down, and the original sin armor is eating him away and dominating him.

He should refuse, even if he dies, he can't join the demons, but he suddenly thinks of Blue Jade, what will happen to her?

For a moment the shrike was moved by the deal, and in the darkness he stretched out his hand, and just as he was about to take the devil's palm and make a contract, a raging rage of rage saved him.

The demon wailed in pain, the boiling flames scorched everything for a moment, the oxygen was rapidly consumed, the painful lack of oxygen sobered up the shrike a little, and then a scarred hand rapidly enlarged in his vision.

"That's why I said, men are unreliable!"

In the midst of the burning rage, Blue Jade threw away the Molten Spear that had been consumed in her hand, her slender hair twisted and burned out in the heat, and the blazing fire reflected her resolute face, and she was like a Valkyrie, descending from the sky to save the Shrike, so thousands of demons turned to ashes.

"Get out!"

She scolded angrily, obviously the deal was about to be concluded, but the shrike still listened to the words of the blue jade, the emergency switch of the original sin armor was activated, and endless steam poured out from the cracks in the armor, and then the shrike bound machinery bounced up one by one.

In the deadly heat, Blue Jade endured the pain of the steam, and dragged the shrike out of the torn armor, stepping on the burning molten iron, as if she didn't feel the pain, threw the shrike on a piece of plate armor, and then dragged him towards the open car door.

It was an escape of iron and fire, and there was no time to worry about the pain, the pure will drove the body, and countless demons bypassed the dead armor, and they pursued the two of them.

Shrike felt the whole world shake, then turned to pitch black steel, her breathing mingling with the pounding of her heartbeat, followed by a metallic thud that cut off the chaos.

The demons thrashed the carriage, the heavy metal swaying slightly, and the shrike tried to get himself up a little, and looked to the dim other side, where the blue jade leaned against the door, as if she had lost all her strength, and collapsed in place.

No one could figure out why she had turned back to save the shrike, nor could she understand how much fear and pain she had endured, the arm that had dragged the shrike out of her armor had been burned, her clothes were stuck to her skin, and the blisters of all sizes were hideous.

After a while, it seemed that she had finally raised some strength, and Blue Jade tried to say optimistically.

"You see, we've lived a few more minutes. ”

She tried to laugh merrily, but there was only a hoarse sound in her throat, like a ruptured blower.

"You shouldn't have done that, if you don't save me, you'll have a chance to leave. ”

Shrike lay on the ground weakly, if Blue Jade didn't save herself, she still had a chance to get the Radiance moving, but now that both of them were incapacitated, it was a question of whether they could stand up.

"It's hard to keep your sanity, so I'm going to be kind. ”

Blue Jade said casually, in the dim space Shrike couldn't see her face clearly, it was an impenetrable shadow.

"Ah...... I've been thinking about what to do in the last days of my life. ”

Shrike looked at the dark roof of the car, and the faint sound of demons in his ears, he finally found the answer, but he wanted to laugh.

"I think...... It's better to be in a daze, after all, it's the last moment, don't let yourself be so tired, it's not bad to be in a daze. ”

His pupils dilated slightly, and he seemed to be really in a daze.

But after a while, Shrike barely flipped through it, then pulled out a crumpled letter from his mouth and slid it hard towards the blue jade.

"What is this?"

Her voice was also weak.

"My will, please give it to Arthur if you can survive, he knows where my home is. ”

While in the armor, Shrike regretted not handing over the will, but in the end this wish was granted.

"Do you think you're going to die?"

"Am I not going to die?"

After a long silence, Blue Jade's voice sounded again.

"You owe another person. ”

Shrike smiled, "Don't even the dead spare people?"

It's not a funny joke, the atmosphere is silent again, the demons are scratching the carriage, although it is reinforced and strengthened, but obviously it can't resist for a long time, coupled with the weird erosion, sooner or later the two will die, or become a member of the demons.

"Maybe you'll survive in the end, Shrike. ”

Blue Jade's voice suddenly sounded, and she said.

"I knew that I would have written a will, this profession is really high-risk. ”

She also smiled, she knew this, it was better to go to prison, with the ruthlessness of Blue Jade, maybe she could be mixed up in it to become the eldest sister's head.

"Shrike, actually, I lied at first. ”

Blue Jade said again, which made the shrike a little more energetic.

"What do you mean?"

"My past, my will. ”

Her delicate eyes revealed memories and memories of the past, and she continued.

"Some stories have to be remembered, and if no one remembers them, he's really dead. ”

"Who?"

"My father. ”

Beroe was stunned for a moment, he remembered that the relationship between Blue Jade and her father was not very good, and she had come to this point largely thanks to her father.

As if to understand the shrike's doubts, she shook her head and said.

"I'm referring to my biological father, not that socially connected stepfather. ”

It was a deeper past, and Blue Jade had never talked about it.

"After the Glorious War, he and my mother had me, and at first it was a happy story, but then he started drinking heavily and abusing my mother. ”

With confusion in her eyes and as if everything had fallen silent, Shrike couldn't help but hold her breath as this enigmatic woman revealed her true past for the first time.

"My mother thought he would get better over time, but it just got heavier, he stopped working, and the family's financial situation deteriorated. ”

"It all started with a winter that changed everything. ”

Blue Jade spoke quietly, slowly raising her hand, because of the force, the scalded blister burst, and the pale yellow liquid dripped down, accompanied by pain.

"He drank too much again and fell into the snow, and it was snowing heavily, and a shallow layer was piled on top of him, and I saw him, and I would have called him up and taken him home, but that day I had a strange thought. ”

She laughed as she spoke.

"If you say...... What if I just didn't see it? I just went home as if nothing had happened, and the snow was so heavy that he would freeze to death before dawn, and no one would beat my mother anymore, and the money from the wine could be used to do more things, and the family's predicament would take a turn for the better. ”

Perhaps because of her injury, her voice sounded hoarse.

"Then in the night, my mother found that my father had not come home, so she went out in a panic to look for it, but she couldn't find it, of course she couldn't find it, the snow was so big, even a giant bear fell there would be covered, and then she came home, and I didn't say anything, but she seemed to see through me, and she knew what I was thinking. ”

Blue Jade gave an ugly smile.

Of course she knew that she was my mother, and she knew intuitively what I had done, so she told me to take her to my father, but I was silent, pretending not to know anything, and then she started beating me, scolding me, and finally kneeling in front of me and begging me. ”

Something seemed to be tearing, revealing the fragile parts.

"It was the first time I saw her cry, but I was silent, for she seemed to me to be a stupid woman, hopelessly stupid, and everything would be fine as long as he died.

Then he did die, and when the snow melted, we found him, and my mother never spoke to me since, and she married my stepfather after a simple funeral.

Life didn't get better because of this, it just got worse, I don't understand why, obviously no one beats her anymore, and no one uses her money to buy alcohol......"

"I didn't do anything wrong, right? ”

She looked at the shrike, the Valkyrie-like kingfisher so sad for the first time.

"On the last day I fled from that place I went back to my old home, and like one last look, I saw a lot in the dusty cabinet, like the Medal of Honor for the Glorious War, like a family photo...... I saw my father inside, but I had never seen anyone else in the picture.

Later, when I came to Old Dunling, I learned a lot, such as what the Glorious War was and what some soldiers would go through...... It seems that everything in the past has an answer, it is just too late. ”

Blue Jade was silent, and only the roars of the demons remained in the eerie silence, but the voice sounded so relaxed at the moment.

"Someone has to remember, right? ”

After a long time she said again, to which the shrike paused, and then nodded earnestly.

There are some stories that someone has to remember, as long as they are remembered, they exist in the heart like a thorn of self-punishment, this is the secret of the blue jade, the last secret, the only secret.

She didn't know why it was the way it was, the only one who could give her the answer had been buried in the winter, and she would never get it.

"So this is my will, if you can live, please remember this story. ”

The fragile little girl was gone, and she was once again aggressive, slowly standing up, enduring the pain.

"But, nothing is reliable, even if you are, so if you can try to survive, you still have to try. ”

Blue Jade gasped for breath and held the carriage, her feet were also badly burned, and every time she walked, she was in sharp pain.

The cāo of the Radiance was in front of her, and the hapless pilot was still slumped to the side and sleeping comfortably, and she tried to move, but suddenly it was like a thunderbolt slashing through her nerves, and she looked directly at the shrike, and the shrike had the same meaning in his eyes.

They all sensed that something was gone, the strange thing that had been trapped on the entire area.

That weird dream!

In despair, there was finally some hope, and the eyes of the two were filled with hope, but in the next second, all the demon wails disappeared, and in the dead silence, only heavy footsteps approached here, like a drumstick beating on the heart of the mouth again and again.

Blue Jade gritted her teeth and pulled out the folding knife at her waist, and pointed in the direction of the car door with a trembling hand, but suddenly the footsteps disappeared, and the thing had come to the car door, and then the pitch-black sword penetrated along the gap in the car door, and then the blade twisted, and in the harsh grinding sound of metal, the indestructible car door was pried out of a gap, and behind that gap the blazing white fireworks burned.

"Yo, Shrike, not dead yet. ”

The dark armor tore open the closed carriage, and the witcher smiled at the shrike who fell to the ground, and the corpse was scattered all over the ground, and the blood flowed all over the ground. u
