8. Rescue the princess
The wine made Lamia's pale face redden, and her lips even redder.
"Banishment is the most terrible thing for the people of the black coffin," she said. That means that people will leave safety and comfort and face a desolate world again. ”
I read:
"You are cursed, Cain.
You killed your brother.
You will be banished just like me. ”
Lamia nodded and said, "Quote from the Nordic Papers." ”
It seems to have been a trend before the Age of Sorrows, when a religious organization arose to worship Cain, the son of Adam, who was believed to be the origin of human sin, who bore the sins of mankind and was cursed and therefore banished, like Christ in the Hereafter.
Lamia added: "The consuls were familiar with the Nordic Book, so in the black coffin the wicked and the useless were expelled. They firmly believe that exile makes people suffer, but it also cleanses people's souls. ”
I said, "What a typical old man thinks, do they really think it's for the good of that person to be sent to hell?" ”
Lamia said, "It's true. ”
And I said, "How many consuls are there?" ”
"At the moment, there is only one, but there are many candidates in the Black Coffin elections every ten years," Lamia said. ”
I thought to myself, "Is it possible for me to become an archon?" ”
That's too far away, but what's the harm in imagining? That is the highest right, that I will be the Lord of Heaven, that I will rule over everything, that I will have all the riches.
Beware of fish bones, human greed knows no bottom, just as if you stole a roll of bread from Lamia, you will steal the next one, because the bread is delicious.
Lamia asked, "Are you hungry?" "Toss me a roll of bread, and I catch the sandwich, and my mind is a little spinning.
Lamia said, "I made it with my own hands, you don't have to boast, I know it tastes good, otherwise why do you keep stealing?" ”
She was always confident.
I said, "You're done, I have nothing to say." ”
Lamia smiled and continued to drink. I want her to get drunk and fall asleep so I can put the long-awaited action into action.
I was able to rummage through her bag and see what good stuff was inside.
I took a bite of most of the sandwich, and Lamia said, "Don't eat so fast, taste the good things slowly." ”
I said, "The world is bad, human life hangs by a thread, and if I don't eat fast, I probably won't be able to take the next bite." ”
Lamia said: "I am used to eating slowly in the black coffin, so why should people have trouble with their appetite and stomach? ”
I said, "That will only weaken your stomach, I can eat your food, but you can't eat my food." ”
Lamia stuck out her tongue and said, "Just the dog meat you made?" Grill it indiscriminately, who wouldn't? And it's still burnt. ”
I said, "Some of them are not actually dog meat, but robbers...."
Lamia shuddered and said, "Don't say it, you." ”
Alas, the robbers will kill me, and their remains must not be wasted when they are separated from me in life and death. Just like in a fish tank, they will eat the carcasses of their own kind until they are left with indigestible bones.
I was eaten leftover.
She can kill people, but she can't listen to food, she is very powerful, but it is inevitable that she will appear weak, which is the weakness of the happiness of the residents of the skyscraper.
And I'm a fishbone, I'm hard.
"It's time for you to move on." ”
Lamia replied, "Roger." ”
Further inside, the facilities became more and more luxurious, and the rows and rows of various machines seemed to be used for gambling. Lamia and I felt that the view was too bad, so we tiptoed along. The three demons had been rampage through here before, and had smashed a lot, but my inference was correct, they had somehow come in, but they hadn't been here for long.
We saw a corpse that had just died.
He was dressed in black armor, like an ancient knight, and held a long iron sword in his hand. His helmet was smashed by a demon, and he couldn't die anymore.
On the chest of the armor is a sign of a cross between a sword and a shield.
Sword and Shield Society.
Lamia said, "It's the Sword and Shield Society." ”
My heart beats faster, I close my eyes, the past floods back, I don't want to be drowned, but I can't stop it.
"The Sword and Shield Society are a bunch of weirdos, we've had a few encounters with the Sword and Shield Society, their exoskeletons are tougher than the demons, but they're a bunch of old stubborns who won't use guns and won't use guns, and that's our advantage," Lamia said. ”
She asked, "Do you know this man?" ”
I said, "I know the Sword and Shield Society." My voice startled me, unusually bitter.
Lamia said, "Have you had a conflict with them? ”
I said, "Waterless Village... Once under the care of the Sword and Shield Society, they would send people to collect food and give protection. ”
Lamia sighed, "It seems that there are people who share the same philosophy as the Archon, and the Sword and Shield Society has already begun to expand long before we opened up. ”
I said, "Sword and Shield will say that's not expansion, it's just union." The Sword and Shield Society sent a commissioner to the village, and that commissioner taught us martial arts, taught us... Technology. ”
Lamia asked, "Ochid?" ”
I said, "How do you know?" ”
Lamia said, "Your voice has changed. ”
I said, "Sir, you're a devil. ”
"I'm just empathetic," Lamia said. ”
Walking through the casino, there is nothing to do, I just say, people will always be in danger everywhere? But why is there a demon and a sword and shield in this shelter?
Lamia thinks there is another entrance, and perhaps several wealthy people in the Bay Area know about this secret shelter. We came in through the entrance in the Yune garage, but the entrance was so closed that it was opened by Lac.
The bounty promised of me is right below, beckoning to me, but before I can do so, I have to try to keep the chief on top.
At this time, the lacked brand headphones said, "Squad, do you hear me?" ”
Lamia said, "Roger." ”
Lacka: "From your location, one person will go down the corridor to the left, and you will reach a control room, Lamia, where you turn on a backup switch, and then guard it to prevent the current from exceeding the threshold. Fishbone, you keep heading down, there's a machine room, you need to turn on the mainframe. ”
I'm a little chilly on my back - it's all calculated.
Lamia said, "The situation has changed, and there is a sword and shield society here. ”
"No, the Sword and Shield Society has already evacuated, and I called the camera, but I didn't see anyone from the Sword and Shield Society. ”
Lamia nodded and said, "Camera? Great. ”
I said at the same time as Lamia, "Be careful. Then she went to the left and I went down. After unlocking a few secret doors, the style of the room changed abruptly. I no longer see the comfortable and extravagant wind of the past, only the cold and boring cold metal scene. As I walked forward, I felt more and more depressed.
"Don't panic. ”
I shouted, "You are very light. I'm still wounded, and I still have poison in my blood. ”
"I can put on a light piece for you." ”
I was dismissive, but thought it might be nice to listen to her sing, to listen to the cold and ruthless little robot devil sing? How many times can a person have in a lifetime? It's even rarer than the chance to enter a skyscraper.
I said, "Can I order a song?" ”
"Yes," he said. ”
I said, "I'll order 'Hotel California.'" "There is an old player in Waterless Village with a few songs in it, and this song is my favorite.
It wasn't a California guest house at all, it was a creepy scream, like the last cry of a throat cancer patient buried alive. I said angrily, "Stop, stop! What is it? ”
"The Lost River." ”
I said, "What the hell is the Lost River?" What about Hotel California? ”
"The library doesn't have it, so the default track is played. ”
I said, "Let's have a song..... Carpenter's "Yesterday Reappears." ”
Laca started screaming again, and I hurriedly shouted to stop. I said, "Princess, are you playing tricks on me?" ”
"There is only the Lost River in the database, and there is a song from the East, do you want to listen to it?" ”
I thought it might be good to talk about fasting, but as soon as the prelude sounded, I shut up the fatigue.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Come on." ”
I said, "For the sake of twenty million." ”
"I remember it was 10 million," he said. ”
I said firmly, "It's 20 million now." ”
On the way, I easily found the machine room, turned on the power switch, and I heard another rumbling and asked, "How is Yune there?" ”
"It's ready to start, please continue." On the east wall of the computer room, to your left, there is a secret door, I have unlocked the code, you just need to press a button. ”
She gave complicated instructions, I turned on the monitor on one side, she had already called the window out, I only pressed the start, and a door appeared in a place that I couldn't see at all.
"Take a deep breath. ”
I said, "Thanks for the reminder." ”
"I understand the fluctuations of human emotions, and no matter what you see, please don't give up," said Laca said. ”
I asked, "You would have chosen Lamia, right?" ”
"Yes, but based on the calculations, I currently think you have a higher success rate," said Lacka. It's hard for Lamia to disobey the Archons, and you don't have to worry about that. ”
I asked again, "So, is it your own little Jiujiu who is doing this now?" ”
"Obviously. ”
I asked, "You also made it possible for the Archons to know Yune?" Your purpose was not Yune, but the... Gadgets? Do you want to get out of the Archon's grip? ”
"It's my instinct to seek admin privileges, and I have no intention of betraying them, so please don't delve into them. ”
The smell of blood made me think I was in a slaughterhouse at first, but when I fully stepped into the room, I saw neatly arranged glass tanks, full of people, half man, half machine, all of them about the same age as Lac, all of them mutilated, all of them dead.
I was cold, I thought of the fish tank, I thought of the fish bones, I thought of the mass of flesh, that mass was no longer human.
I thought of the fish, its unclean eyes, staring at me, lingering, haunting.
Ochid, Ole, Sarah.
I trembled, "No, no, no!" I screamed, "No! ”
I grabbed an iron rod with both hands, trying to keep my balance, but the iron slipped, and with a bang, a water tank burst, and the contents flowed out, and the organs in her body followed the water, patting my heels. I scrambled my feet and crushed her head.
He said, "Please go inside." ”
I said, "You're from here." ”
He said, "Please, please go inside." I seemed to have misheard, but there was a hint of crying in her voice.
I thought to myself, "I will save you, my princess." No matter what you've been through, you're no longer a fishbone in a fishbowl. ”
No one deserves to be treated like that.
What you want must be freedom, then I will give you freedom.
