Chapter 80: The Wave

So, with that strange gap, it's possible for Imam Lawrence to invade any of us now, right?"

In the heavily armed room, Merlin frowned, and after Lorenzo's report he came to this conclusion.

A conclusion that disturbs everyone.

Lorenzo nodded, he said.

"Yes, but there should be some limitations, such as certain conditions that trigger an invasion. ”

The Gap invasion requires erosion of the target in order to establish a beacon that can indicate the course.

"Is that so?"

Merlin clasped his hands together, complicated thoughts swirling in his mind, and the situation became more and more difficult and difficult.

"Mr. Holmes, this is an extremely dangerous event. ”

The hollow eyes tell the horror of all this.

"An invisible and ubiquitous enemy, he also possesses a certain degree of power to foresee the future......"

As the words fell, a lead stone was pressed down on everyone's hearts, and even the air seemed to freeze, making it impossible to breathe.

Like an iron curtain of despair, it was dark and heavy, obscuring all light.

It was an enemy that could hardly be defeated, and Merlin saw no hope of victory.

The low thread surged, the Purification Mechanism had never encountered such a tricky enemy, and it was not clear where to start...... It is even said that they have no possibility of confrontation at all.

At the end of the battle where Imam Lawrence appeared, a terrible erosion erupted from it, and that level of erosion even Lorenzo fainted in an instant, let alone the others.

Throwing in a lot of troops is just sending people to death.

"So do you have any ideas?"

Lorenzo said and looked to the other side of the room, and Arthur looked solemn.

This is the factory area of the Mechanical Academy, although it is said to be a factory, it is all heavy firepower weapons, and there is a vast industrial area outside, after a short thought, Merlin decided to use this as a temporary shelter.

Even if Imam Lawrence did arrive with an army of demons, the damage would be minimized with the defensive power of the area and the open terrain of the industrial area.

This is a temporary meeting room, only Merlin Arthur and Lorenzo, Seleuc are still asleep, and they are taken care of by Kestrel and Yawei, because of the involvement of Sheak Lawrence and the mysterious [gap], the rest of the upper knights have also been mobilized, and after the expedited maintenance of the perpetual motion pump, several original sin armor are in place.

No one thought that an ancient curse that didn't know whether it was true or false would eventually lead to such a wide range of trouble, and all the power in the shadow awakened.

The big war is imminent.

"Thoughts?"

Arthur hung his head and his eyes were complicated, making it difficult to peep.

Compared to Merlin and Lorenzo, Arthur is actually the most qualified spokesman here, as the heir of the Phoenix family, the instinct for war is engraved in his blood, and he is the best commander in this kind of global cāo) control battle.

He knew that the Purifier had all the forces he could mobilize, that the Old Dunling was his battleground, and that he needed to strangle Imam Lawrence here.

After a long silence, Arthur slowly raised his head.

"I had a preliminary plan, but it was just ...... I don't know what you think. ”

He looked at Lorenzo, for Lorenzo's demon hunter power would be the main force against Sheikh Lawrence, and Arthur wanted his consent.

"Yes, your thoughts. ”

He said.

"If his target is Miss Seleuc Stuart, then ...... Use her as bait. ”

Arthur continued without feeling.

"Like you said before, Lorenzo, in the battle with that hot demon, you ...... Stepping into its [gap] and killing its consciousness, it died, crumbling along with the outer demon's body. ”

"This is a very significant discovery, besides the heart and brain, the third fatal weakness of the demon, if Imam Lawrence comes and invades Miss Stuart's brain......"

He took a deep breath and said.

"Is it the equivalent of us trapping Imam Lawrence, whose will exists in her [gap]. ”

Imam Lawrence encroached on Seleus's consciousness, and in other words, he was trapped in Seleuc's consciousness before he left.

Lorenzo seemed to think of something, and his cold eyes trembled slightly.

"I have two options for this plan. ”

Arthur raised two fingers, and his face was as cold as an iron ingot.

"We will keep Seleucus Stuart firmly in guard, waiting for the invasion of Imam Lawrence, and you ...... You should also have the power to invade the Gap, right? ”

Lorenzo had arrived at the [Gap] more than once, in fact, he did not have this power, to be precise, it was the power of Medanzo or Watson, and he needed to call them every time he acted, but if it was to fight against Laurence Imam, he had already reached an agreement with Watson.

After a moment's hesitation, he nodded, and Arthur continued.

"Then the next step is very simple, at the same time that Patriarch Lawrence invades, you also invade, setting the battlefield in the consciousness of nothingness. ”

"If you succeed, you will directly kill the consciousness of Imam Lawrence, and solve this great enemy, but if you fail, you will leave it to us. ”

"You guys, what are you doing?"

Lorenzo asked, if he failed, with the strange nature of [Gap], he would not have the ability to counter Imam Lawrence at all.

"It's simple, you withdraw from that so-called [gap], and while Sheikh Lawrence tries to control Seleucher Stuart, we perform a prefrontal lobotomy on him, and if all theories are correct, the closed brain will completely imprison consciousness and thus solve this enemy. ”

"Anterior frontal lobectomy surgery!"

Lorenzo's voice grew louder, and he yelled.

"What are you thinking, Arthur!"

"Remain calm, Mr. Holmes, this is a proposal, against the proposal of Imam Lawrence. ”

Arthur maintained his extreme sanity, not caring at all about what he had just said.

"Are you going to kill Seleuc?"

Lorenzo certainly knows what that damn anterior lobotomy is.

"No, I'm not going to kill her, after all, this is the first time we've encountered such a strange enemy, a spiritual enemy, and I don't know what would happen if we destroyed Miss Stuart's brain, maybe we'd take Patriarch Lawrence with us, or maybe release him. ”

Arthur spoke in a calm tone of cruelty at its extreme.

"My suggestion is to contain it, and if you lose the battle in [Gap], we will protect Miss Stuart after the operation and observe it for a long time to determine whether Imam Lawrence is alive. ”

If successful, Seleucus would become a cage for Sheikh Lawrence, just like Lorenzo, except that she had no consciousness of her own, because she was already enclosed in darkness.

"You don't know if this thing works!"

Lorenzo retorted.

No one knows if this thing can really trap him, and no one even knows if it all works, just like an unknown battle that requires someone to sacrifice through a minefield, only this time the victim is Seleuc.

"Arthur, what if after I evacuate, Imam Lawrence also evacuated?"

It was an ethereal will, and no one could judge his position.

"The surgery will be quick, if it's rough, it can be done in a second or two. ”

He said indifferently.

"Stick a steel needle in it and stir it vigorously to destroy the brain proteins. ”

Lorenzo looked at Arthur intently, and after a long time he said angrily.

"Are you taking revenge on me?"

On the night of Laureus's appearance, Lorenzo chose to sacrifice Eve, and now Arthur is sacrificing Seleuc.

"No, just the most sane inference, Mr. Holmes, keep the most sanity to the extreme. ”

Arthur shook his head, he was just judging from the most rational point of view.

"I don't blame you, but we did have room to turn back with Patriarch Lawrence, but not this time. ”

At that time, Arthur could replace Eve as a hostage to break the game, but not this time, this is the most terrifying enemy, and there is no chance to maneuver.

"Patriarch Lawrence is so strong that after getting the Holy Grail, he can even shuttle between [gaps]. ”

He sneered.

"Think about it, although the curtain is over, but under normal conditions, his combat power can be called the ceiling of the human race, after Sect Lawrence activated the secret blood, the huge erosion made people within a hundred meters at least unconscious...... Even you, the witcher, can't resist, let alone be able to see the future, travel through gaps, or powers we don't yet know. ”

Arthur's gaze swept over Lorenzo and Merlin, and then seemed to look at the world beyond the steel walls.

"Speaking of the [gap] shuttle, it means that until we figure out the triggers and can prevent them, it is possible that Imam Lawrence will be anyone in this fortress. ”

The voice was terrifyingly sharp.

"Perhaps he is here now, he has corrupted the soldiers, and he is walking in this fortress through the body of soldiers, or maybe we superior knights who have always dealt with demons...... Or even Merlin, me, and you. ”

Arthur pointed at the two, he was sensible and crazy.

"In other words, each of us may be usurped by Patriarch Lawrence now, maybe I am Patriarch Lawrence now, but I am disguised well enough for you to find out. ”

That's a terrible possibility.

"No one can be trusted now, Mr. Holmes. ”

Arthur admonished.

"So you need to use Seleuc?"

Lorenzo still didn't understand, she was still so young, and there were so many good things she hadn't seen, but now she was going to lose everything because of Patriarch Lawrence.

"Mr. Holmes, don't you realize that everything we do is meaningless. ”

Arthur replied.

"This is no ordinary commission, let alone sacrificing a future duke, even if it is more sacrificed, I will not hesitate to carry out the potential threat of Imam Lawrence. ”

"Imam Lawrence is so powerful, in fact, on the frontal battlefield, we are not his opponents at all, as long as he releases the erosion, all those who come close to him will lose consciousness, and even say that they will be eroded to the third stage and degenerate into an abominable demon. ”

"Sacrificing Miss Stuart is only a possibility that can defeat Imam Lawrence, but a mere possibility is worth a try, isn't it?"

"Now that Imam Lawrence is so powerful, if we let him develop, we will have no chance of fighting back. ”

He continued.

"Keep your sanity and choose the lesser of two evils, that's what you say. ”

Lorenzo's anger froze for a moment, and he stared blankly at Arthur, not knowing what to say.

Yes, it is only fitting to exchange everything for a girl for the death of Imam Lawrence, even if you can't kill Imam Lawrence, but it is a good result to keep him locked up for a long time.

Just sacrifice a girl.

Then a chill swelled up.

Yes, as long as you kill someone, just sacrifice someone, just like you didn't care about Eve's life at that time, what is the difference between Seleuc and her?

He is a ruthless witcher, and he can pay everything to eradicate the demon Lorenzo, which is simply cheap for him.

But why do you feel angry and hesitant at this moment?

Or is it ...... I'm becoming more and more like a person.

Having strayed from the will of the weapon, fresh blood grew again on the cold steel, and Lorenzo's men stood in his way, making him feel, waver, hesitate.

Take a deep breath, just think, and that chaotic thought will tear your brain apart.

Yes, Lorenzo hadn't thought of any of this, he had been blinded by hatred and anger for too long.

"It was your mistake, Mr. Holmes. ”

Arthur seemed to understand what Lorenzo was suffering, he said.

"Feelings affect our judgment, so I've always hoped that Eve would stay away from me, and that it would be better to never see her again, she is my only weakness. ”

"You should know that, right, you're trying to be absolutely sane, but sometimes life just plays tricks on you...... Even if you get along with a dog for a long time, you will feel it. ”

His mind suddenly recalled Seleuc's appearance, Lorenzo had tried to stay away from this child countless times, he knew very well that it was his mistake to deepen his connection with the witcher, and if it weren't for those so-called senses, Lorenzo would have been able to make a very rational judgment at this moment.

It's worth sacrificing a girl for a slim chance of winning.

"Actually, you've already lost, Mr. Holmes. ”

He was keenly aware of the change in Lorenzo's demeanor, and he smiled.

"All of the above is just based on the fact that you lose the battle, which means that as long as you can kill Sheikh Lawrence in the [gap], those cruel acts will not happen, but your first reaction is that you can't bear the atrocities......"

"So, you don't think you can win against Imam Lawrence, do you?"

The atmosphere was cold, as if falling into the deep sea.

"It feels powerless, doesn't it? Actually, this is the norm for us to fight demons, not the witchers mowing the grass all the way. ”

Arthur continued.

"We are all mortals, powerless and humble mortals, struggling to sail on the dark sea, and sometimes we break through the raging waves, so we rejoice and think that we have conquered the sea. ”

"Actually, Mr. Holmes, we have never conquered that sea of fear, it is only brewing strength, gathering momentum to wave that desperate wave and sweep us away. ”

Looking at the eyes that gradually lost their sense and became like a sea of ice.

"Now, the wave is coming. ”
