CHAPTER XVI

The ruler of the city, naturally, will not be stupid. In this case, being able to maintain a library was actually beyond Su Yuan's imagination.

The building was empty, with no caretakers, no guards. Except for an old janitor dozing off, there was no defense. The old man watched the two of them coming, just raised his eyelids, didn't even open his mouth, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

"Normally, no one would come to the library. In fact, out of the inner city, there are very few people who are really literate. Let's go inside. Ethan gave a brief introduction, and then walked in with Su Yuan.

What was originally a simple search for information immediately became a huge job after Su Yuan entered the library. Because all the materials and documents in the library have no rules to follow.

"We need to find the trajectory of that thing in the last 50 years. If we are destined to fight him, we must know his whereabouts. ”

"That's impossible, as long as he doesn't want to, no one will be able to know his whereabouts. All those who saw him were dead. ”

"That's why we're looking for clues. Don't you think there's something strange about his behavior? ”

"What's weird? He's a demon and killed everyone who saw him, what's the problem? ”

"No, it's a big problem. You said it before, that guy has been around for a long time. For a long time, he had been fighting the humans of the wasteland. If he was really too strong to be invincible, the human race would have been killed long ago. He couldn't get into the Black Tower, but there were still many human settlements elsewhere. But he didn't clean up the settlements. In this case, either he has a reason why he can't kill everyone, or he ...... Can't do it.

If I want to destroy a civilization, then I will kill all the carriers of this civilization. If I'm going to rule a civilization, I'm going to silence all voices with fear. But he didn't do either. He neither killed them all, nor did he spread fear. ”

"He killed everyone who saw him, isn't that fear-mongering?"

"No, it's not. If you want to spread fear. The best way to do this is to kill most of them in a brutal way, but let a few live ones. Through their mouths, spread your deeds. That's how fear can spread. If you kill everybody, everyone else will be terrified, but it's not intuitive. It will even be forgotten soon, because it is too difficult to survive in the last days. So, I don't think he's acting reasonably. We have to find the root of this irrationality, and I believe that is his weakness. ”

"Okay, I see. We checked all the information about him for nearly 50 years. Confirm the previous speculation. But what do you ultimately want to prove? ”

"It's hard to come up with a definite answer, after all, I've never really faced him. But I had a strong feeling that he was afraid of being seen by others. ”

…………………

At this time, in the wasteland, some valley. A modern concrete building is hidden in the valley. As soon as you walk in, you can see that a large number of orcs are busy coming and going. And inside the building, a lot of cries filled the whole building. It was the cry of some children.

"Subject Twenty-Six, the first test." Accompanied by a child's heart-rending cry, several orcs tied a child to a seat with a strong sense of science fiction. Then a hood was placed on his head.

"Subject is ready and begins to recharge."

A large number of unknown instruments began to glow around them. The hood on the child's head began to glow with a cyan glow. The child, on the other hand, rolled his eyes sharply, as if he had entered some kind of special state. But within a few seconds, he was bleeding from all his orifices, and his whole body softened.

"Subject Twenty-Six died. Preparations began on the 27th. ”

Behind the glass wall opposite, a handsome middle-aged white man was sitting there, holding a glass of red wine in his hand. Seeing that the experiment failed again, his face was expressionless, but the wine glass in his hand silently turned into pieces. Even the red wine inside turned into some kind of red ice crystal fragments.

After a while, the twenty-seventh also declared defeat. The man seemed disappointed, and he slowly stood up and walked to the window on the other side. It was dusk outside, and the last rays of the setting sun were slowly disappearing.

………………………

In the library, Su Yuan and Ethan struggled through a large pile of disorganized materials, and finally found the information they wanted.

"After the War of Doom, the legacy of these histories was almost cut off, and this Wasteland Age may be the last record of history. It records all of his appearances. ”

Su Yuan immediately took the book and began to read it. He asked, pointing to some of the accounts.

"You see here, he first appeared, about a hundred and ten years ago. But by that time, the War of Doom had been over for more than twenty years. Most people even think it's over. But that's when he showed up for the first time. A large number of wandering orcs were gathered, breaking the largest human gathering place at that time in one fell swoop, and extinguishing the last spark for the revival of human civilization.

In the hundreds of years since, the remnants of humanity have never gathered on a large scale. The remaining humans, the remaining orcs and him, have been fighting for a hundred years on this land. Looking at the later records, the siege of the nine spearmen thirty years ago was his last real appearance. Since then, there have been no more witnesses. Ethan, you're the last person to see him. ”

"Perhaps, this is my fate......"

"I've never believed in fate. But I know I've found what I'm looking for. Didn't you notice that there is a huge bug in this material? ”

“…… Just say what you see? I'm not good at these things. Ethan looked helpless, feeling that his IQ was suppressed.

"Okay. I'm going to say very simply, why did he wait until after the end of the War of Doom? If he had shown up earlier, as you said. His abilities are so powerful, maybe he has a chance to turn the dark forces into victory? ”

"That's impossible, the passage of invasion has been completely sealed at that time, and those invaders have been rapidly weakened under the suppression of this world. Their failure is doomed, it's just that humanity has paid everything for it. ”

"Then why wasn't he suppressed. Can it even appear at full blood decades later? ”

"This ......"
