I vaguely felt that I had come into contact with a great secret, that the devastated world and the statue were closely related to the experiments carried out by the old Longinus and the Charon company.

I was reminded that time was running out.

yes, time is running out.

After the death of the black-robed rope hand priests, the chaotic whispers had subsided, which at least slowed down the transformation of the inhabitants into rope hands.

I still have to be quick.

Along the black staircase, I walked up to the top of the laboratory, which used to be the place where rope hands were made, and there were more than 100 operating tables in front of me, on which were swollen rope hands. I had the impression of being dark, damp, oppressive, chaotic, as if I had fallen into a cave in the mire.

More black-robed rope-hand priests, immersed in a murmur, sat as if dead. Beneath a totem of yellowed, misshapen bones sits a giant weirdo.

The strange man was more than three meters tall just by sitting, his face was like a horse, but mixed with the characteristics of a lion, he was naked, his body was covered with scales like a fish, and from his back protruded many tentacles, on which were suckers.

"You are the carrier of bones," he said. ”

I said, "You too, Enkidu?" ”

Enkidu grinned sinisterly, and the appearance of a human expression on his horse's face was even more creepy, and he said, "I wasn't called that before. ”

I looked closely at his face, déjà vu, and suddenly, I recognized him. He is the same Pruss who once appeared in the video. He was almost unrecognizable, but I could still make out the features.

I said, "Prussia? ”

Enkidu was silent for a few seconds and asked, "How do you know?" ”

I said, "I saw you in the video of Naiako, you are the chief security officer of Charon, why are you alive today?" What about Naiako? ”

Why would I ask people from more than a hundred years ago? She must have died a long time ago. But I've seen her experience, I've seen her fear, her weakness, her sin and her redemption, and I can't help but care about her and her end.

Pruss laughed: "If you want to chat, that's just right, of course she's dead." ”

This should have been expected, but I was still shocked. I said, "You killed her?" ”

"She still died of a solar infection in the end, and it shouldn't be said that she died of moonshine after becoming part of the Sun King," Pruss said. ”

This is her end, and it is also the common end of tens of billions of human beings, isn't it?

"It was we who saved humanity," Pruss said. ”

"What?"

Pruss laughed, "It was our Charon Corporation that saved humanity, and in just a few days after the solar crisis began, it was we who opened the rift and changed the moonlight, making it lethal to the sun's infected. ”

My mind was in a mess, and I didn't know if what he said was true or not. Old Longinus told me that due to the change in the sun's light, it led to a solar crisis, and the whole of humanity was almost melted away by the sun. Those who are infected.... They were supposed to wreak havoc on the earth and be unstoppable, but the full moon that followed wiped them out.

"It's Charon.... How? ”

Pruss said, "I don't know, how the fuck do I know?" I've been tasked with coming here and starting Project Moonlight, which is just one of the facilities that will be distributed around the world, and when the Yukos reactors in all the facilities are activated, the moonlight will be transformed into a weapon to destroy the Sun King. ”

I asked, "Yukos... Is the reactor a device for the Moonshine Project? ”

"There are a lot of them, China, the United States, Europe, the North and South poles... Charon spent a lot of money, more than ten years to build, Naiazi played an important role in the process, and so did the old Longinus, of course, each of us working overtime for this. It's us who turn the tide. ”

"Charon anticipated the advent of the solar crisis?"

Pruss said, "How do I know? Maybe it's just a big demon-summoning device, or maybe it's just in case, but all in all, we've given humanity a glimmer of life. ”

In other words, when the sun-infected spread, it was the survivors of Charon who prevented the final judgment day?

"What caused the solar crisis?"

"I don't fucking know, I just know that every Yukos Reactor provides a huge amount of energy, but it has to be channeled with an ancient, magical artifact," Pruss said. ”

He pointed to the totem of the bones and said, "It is it, it opened the rift, but at the same time it turned me into this." ”

I said, "IBA is looking for you." ”

Prus: "I'm confused, I don't have a clue, I'm a great man who saved the world, or at least one of the great men, and those bounty hunter lunatics captured me and locked me up in a place where I didn't see the light of day, and it took me a long time to escape. They didn't arrest me for the bounty, because I didn't even see anyone who posted the bounty! ”

I was full of doubts and I didn't understand what IBA meant. The Anno Empire will contain these demonic envoys who are wanted by the IBA and act as special forces, but why did the IBA only imprison Pruss after capturing him, instead of executing him? What are they plotting? Is it for research? Or maybe they tried to pry something out of Purus's mouth, but he ran away before they could do it?

Pruce: "The IBA has a huge power, those hound-like bounty hunters are chasing me, I keep on the run, I think of this place, I always want to come back here, but for a long time, this place is no longer there, I can't find my way there. ”

"It's likely that this place has been obscured by the tides of space."

"Yes, it does, but recently it has reappeared," Pruss said. This is a God-given opportunity, God has opened his eyes to save me, the savior. Rope hands here, these... All the pets of Belette belong to me and will obey me. IBA can't harm me anymore, and even the Anno Empire doesn't want to use me. I will be the overlord in this troubled world, and I have the right to do so, because the world owes me so much. ”

I said, "Shut up! Stop this ritual, you're scourging the inhabitants of the settlements! Moreover, you didn't save the world at all, and the rift you opened turned the remaining humans into demons. ”

Pruss sneered: "These sacrifices are necessary, otherwise mankind will only end up in total annihilation, this is the consensus, you superficial human being, this is the consensus." ”

And what about the statue of the Sun King hundreds of thousands of years ago? Is it also because someone changed the moonlight after the sun mutated? This history repeats itself after a long time, will there be a next one?

He stood up, reaching five meters tall and almost touching the ceiling of the laboratory. He said, "The recent ritual has filled me with power and made me change like this, and this is the magic from the Demon Grand Duke." ”

The black-robed priests terminated the ritual and drew the black sword in their hands.

Pruss pointed at me and said, "Transform him into one of us." ”

The black-robed priests stabbed me with their black swords, and I used a flashbang to unleash my telekinetic blade, and the light stabbed five people to death.

There were thirteen black-robed priests, and they couldn't be allowed to spray water and summon more rope hands.

I lunged forward, threw flashbangs again, turned the light into sharp scythes, and with a push of my hand, they turned in all directions, cutting off the heads of the rope-bearer priests, and burning them with extinction as they writhed and struggled.

One of the monsters stabbed me in the back with the head, and I dodged the stab, and the monster's sword sent out a black fish shadow, biting my shadow, and I felt a pain, as if I had been bitten, and their weapons could hurt the body through the shadow.

I lunged at them, but at this moment, Prus let out an angry roar and threw his fist at me, and I turned back to protect my body with the Iron Lotus, which slammed me into the wall, and the crack spread along the wall in all directions.

I fled from the rubble of the wall and found that my arm was swollen, but it was not red and swollen, nor was it a fracture, but a miserable white puffiness, and there were ... Suction cup.

My cold hair stood on end, this arm did not obey, as if it was about to choke my own neck, his punch caused my soul to mutate, embodied in my body, I hurriedly shouted: "Cure me!" ”

The plague doctor said, "You'll have to dodge for a while, it's going to take time." ”

Be quick.

I unleashed a dark cloud and shrouded myself in darkness, and the black-robed priests gave up chasing me with a noisy cry, and I heard the gurgling sound as they kept spitting out dirty water and summoning the servants of the rope hand.

Prussia's voice pierced through the dark clouds: "I am Enchidu, mutated demigod, general of Belial, and I command the fish of darkness to hunt my prey and devour my sacrifices. ”

He was also a hell of a demon, altered by the bones of Mokkawi, but he was short-lived, far inferior to Black Nightmare and Sangwen, and his strength was about thirty or so.

The trouble is with the priests, who are chanting incantations, urging my soul to mutate, and they keep summoning those rope hands, and soon they will be an army.

Suddenly, my heart sank, I saw that the dark clouds were transformed into black fish by him, and in a panic, I tried to disperse the dark clouds, but a large part of them did not listen to my control, they turned into sharks and opened their mouths towards me.

I dodged to the side, and suddenly realized that my shadow needed to be protected, so I let it follow me. Pruss was elated and in hot pursuit, his big foot flattening the rope hands that stood between us, and his tentacles rolled up the rope hands and threw them at me, which I avoided all.

In desperation, I threw the rest of the flashbang at him, the light turning into an endless blade, and Pruss retreated in agony, battered.

I summoned the Black Nightmare, a giant beast larger than Pruss who spewed a tide of darkness, and Pruss screamed, "Encharil? Encharil? ”

Above, another voice shouted, "This is... Black nightmare? ”

I had no time to trace the source of the sound, and Pruss fell into fear, and the black nightmare bit Prus's throat, and I took advantage of the situation to pierce his head with a sword. The cry of Pruss rose higher and higher like a fire siren, and finally fell silent.

He turned into the mortal man in the video, quickly turning to bones, and I was out of breath and thought it was over.

It didn't.

The rope hands and priests roared at me, about four hundred of them, and I could hear the sticky sound of their skin rubbing against me, like wriggling octopuses on the ground.

I raised my sword and said angrily, "Then come, send you all to hell!" ”
