XXVI. Unsolved Mysteries
Don't forget that they set traps to hunt dangerous beasts.
The duchess said, "Let me go first." ”
I asked her why, and she replied that she could activate the electrical device.
I almost forgot about it.
Vasilisa shouted, "Close the door to the first contact zone." ”
The female voice replied, "Yes." "Closing the blast door at the same time was a matter of seconds, but it was terrifying, and we have all seen the speed of the prisoners.
When the door closed, we were at ease for a while.
It was a pure white room, two hundred meters long and thirty meters wide, and under the influence of the desire to survive, we ran like a fly, and soon returned to the entrance.
I only hear a bang! Bang! Bang! The blast door to the first contact zone was bent loose and crumbling under impact.
Betty shouted, "He's recovered!" ”
Vasilissa: "He's hungry, he wants to suck the blood of all of us, and he can track us by the smell of blood!" ”
At this moment, how I wish my blood would be hard to swallow.
"Let the main control room turn on the grid," Lamia said. ”
I said, "Don't make a mistake, there's a nuclear warhead down here." ”
Salvador: "Fishbones, say a few words!" ”
Vasilisa ignored me and shouted, "Use my authority to turn on the second contact zone power grid!" ”
I heard the roar behind the door, and the electricity flowing. I wanted to get close enough to hear the dying voice of Abel, but Missel pulled me and said, "Watch out for electric shocks." ”
When I think about it, it's really dangerous, it's 70,000 volts of electricity, and once it reaches its peak, I'll be burned to ashes before I even touch it.
"We can't stop, we have to get into the elevator and get back to the ground," Vasilissa said. ”
The door behind me shook, and thump, and thump, and it partially detached from the frame, and I wondered if I was hallucinating. Why does he still have the strength to knock on the door?
The next second, we reacted and ran away.
I said, "Can't the grid kill him?" He's bathed in electricity! ”
Vasilisa said, "But that's the truth! ”
I said angrily, "Who said, 'You will be able to conquer him'?" ”
The duchess said, "I'm in a bad mood, and if you don't want to die before me, you'd better shut up." ”
That's a Zen statement, and I think it makes sense.
Entering the third contact zone, Vasilisa shouted: "Heavy machine guns ready, heavy toxin ready, once the target is found, attack immediately!" With that, we rushed into the elevator and followed the pipe to the surface.
The heavy machine guns are full of Excalibur bullets, which can shoot many red demons on their backs. Indoor toxins should also be enough to kill tens of thousands of people. If he is still alive, he will simply not give people a way to live.
Vasilisa suddenly fell and fell into a coma. I said, "Why don't you leave her behind, maybe the prisoner just has a personal vendetta with her, what does it have to do with us?" He will forgive us when he sees us so intrigued. ”
Misser shouted angrily: "What did you say? ”
Me: "I say, let's leave this culprit to the prisoners!" Whoever makes the mistake is responsible, what's wrong with that? ”
"I swore to protect her with my life," said Missey, "that I would not allow you to harm the Duke, even you!" ”
Me: "You have your position, don't I have a hard time?" Vasilisa is important to you, isn't Chief Lamia important to me? ”
Mirse hugged Vasilisa and said, "She is very weak now, how can you take advantage of the danger?" How did our adoptive father teach us? ”
I raised my voice: "Ochid? It was the madman Ochid who killed everyone in the village! He's like Vasilissa, and Vasilisa is like Ochid! For their own selfish desires, they lead those who love them into destruction! Innocent people don't deserve such misfortune! Lamia shouldn't, and neither should Dali! I will not allow a repeat of this tragedy! ”
Milse began to tremble, and he asked, "You never told me what happened in the village!" What was it like at that time? ”
At this time, we were passing through the last layer of the sea gate, and the entire prison building exploded, the flames boiled the seawater, the sea created a whirlpool, and the strong currents hit the pipes. I was thrown into a high place, and I felt like my bones were falling apart.
I thought it was a nuclear warhead that was detonated, but luckily it wasn't. The transparent elevator pipe was extremely strong and did not leak, but it lost power and was forced to stop on the way.
The sea water outside this pipe is also full of poison, which can suffocate people instantly, we can't go out, we are still hundreds of meters away from the sea, even if we don't get poisoned to death, we will be flattened by the sea water. There was an air-conditioning unit in the elevator, but now the power is out, and the elevator compartment is extremely hot, and sooner or later the oxygen will run out.
Lamia sat up, and I saw blood on her face. I held her up, and Lamia leaned over her face again and kissed me on the lips.
I thought she was confused, but she smiled and whispered to me, "I'm lucky to be with you in the end." ”
I shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?" We're not dead yet! ”
She said, "yes, yes." She hugged me and said, "How I want to take you to the skyscraper and make your wish come true." It's something I promised you, but it's a pity that I... It can't be done. ”
I put her head on my shoulder, and she was so excited that I saw her cry for the first time. Why is this woman crying? She cried so much that I was upset.
"When I knew you were the one who saved me when I was a child, I was really happy at that moment, and I felt like our meeting was meant to be," she said. ”
I want to save her, I want to take advantage of her, I want her to promote me, I want to climb the skyscraper with her to the apex of power.
I want to stay with her for a long time.
It's not love, I'm pretty sure of it, because I'm an ambitious, emotionally detached person. It's just that she's useful to me, and I can't live without her... I can't bear to let her die for the time being.
Come to think of it, how could she die? If I am as outstanding as I say, she should always be safe under my protection.
It's really black in the elevator, it's like the deep sea, it's so mysterious, it's like there are endless unknown creatures that survive, swim, reproduce, and hunt in the sea. Even if humanity goes extinct, even if life is lost, they, the fish of the deep sea, will still live as usual, for thousands of years.
I looked at my left hand, my fingers were gone, black blood was running down my palm, and my cheeks were cold and itchy, presumably blood was coming out of my eye sockets.
Lamia spoke to me, looking at the shape of her mouth, as if to say, "I love you." "But I couldn't hear it, and I didn't know if it was true or not.
Enough is enough.
I came up with a great idea, a great idea that would really take me to the top, why didn't I think of such a good idea in the first place? Shouldn't you, fishbones, how could you have such a smart brain almost missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
I went to the prisoner, that Abel, and killed him.
It's a perfect idea, and it's all good.
First of all, this prisoner is after us, and if he dies, we will all be alive.
Secondly, this prisoner was the one who defeated Vasilissa, who was perhaps the strongest of the nine hermits of the Sword and Shield Society. The big fish eat the small fish, the small fish eat the shrimp, and if I kill the prisoner, the sword and shield will be in awe of my deeds.
Secondly, there seems to be an alliance between the Sword and Shield Society and the Black Coffin, and my reputation in the Sword and Shield Society will definitely affect my prospects in the Black Coffin. The sword and shield will owe me a favor, and it will surely make me like a fish in water in the black coffin, and I will rise to the top of the crowd.
Most importantly, I will be able to kill the prisoner. Why am I so confident? While on the run, the fish bone in my hand almost killed the prisoner. This demon king, who was helpless even with the power grid, poison gas, and bullets, was almost stabbed to death by me. Why did this fish bone fall into my hands?
This is a heaven-sent opportunity.
Of course, there are still a lot of details involved in the implementation of this plan, but in case of emergency, I can do it, and the details will be improved later, so let me act first.
I swam out of the elevator and swam like a fish into the sea of fire below, and I saw the prisoner, who had somehow found a sword and shield armor that kept him from suffocating in the sea.
He saw me.
He seemed a little surprised.
He asked, "Who are you?" ”
I told him I was here to kill him. I regret that I shouldn't have said it so bluntly, maybe I should have used some clever words to trick him into taking it lightly so that I could stab him in the back, after all, I am quite good at it.
I looked at the fish bone in my hand, and I couldn't hide it from him.
Abel said, "You are not human, and humans cannot survive in this poisonous water. ”
Perhaps, but these are inconsequential details, and just as your strength defies common sense, can't I drill a small hole?
Abel said, "You can speak the ancient Sumerian language, and no one has understood it since I left me." ”
Thinking of this little affection, can you let me stab you in the heart?
He laughed and said, "Your name." ”
Longinus.
Abel: "Sounds familiar. ”
You can also call me a fishbone.
Abel: "Fishbones? In the earliest days, my brother Cain killed me with his fishbone knife. He was jealous of God's favoritism, so he committed murder. ”
I thought to myself, "So, fishbones can kill you, and I'm so happy to hear that." ”
Abel floated and looked around, and the water became darker, black like impenetrable ink.
Only in such dark waters can fish survive. Fish love darkness and fish love death.
Will this darkness kill the ancient man in front of him?
Abel's gaze returned to me and asked, "It's interesting.... This is what you did? ”
Yes, before that, I had been running away from the fish, running away from the Sea of Darkness. I don't understand why the fish follow me, staring at me like I owe them a debt.
Yet it is, and I do owe them a debt of gratitude.
Every time I was in the desperate situation of death, it was the fish, and it was the fish that came to me. It, they, the fish, seemed to have an endless appetite, eating and eating, eating up all the harm, leaving me with a desolate life. I am afraid that their darkness will stain my heart, that I will lose my conscience because of them, that I will blame myself for the sins of murder, that I will be one of these fish driven by appetite.
I tried to be a despicable person, but I was scared and backed down before the real evil.
I don't even have the courage to become a villain.
Abel floated in the darkness, the divine light emanating from his body, and the gods that mankind worshipped from ancient times to the present, those mysterious and distant saints, may not be able to reach his majesty at this moment.
Yet the deity was facing me, bowing his head slightly, showing respect, as if the deity had identified with the equal.
Abel said, "What is a fish?" ”
The fish is mysterious, and the fish left me a puzzle that I can't solve, but if I tell you that riddle, I wonder if you can give me a revelation.
He told me he was curious.
The puzzle says—
The fish is the initial light.
Fish is the origin of sin.
Fish are the morning star at dusk.
Fish are masters of darkness.
