Chapter XXIX: The Army

It's an amazing feeling......

Countless emotions hit Lorenzo's mind, and shattered memories poured down on him like a downpour.

At this moment, Lorenzo once again understood the disadvantages of Gabriel, its strength is undoubted, but he also has extremely fatal shortcomings, in the [Gap] invasion, he shattered not only a person's will, but also engraved the memories and emotions of his life.

These things washed Lorenzo's will like a torrent, and he was like a stubborn rock standing in the midst of this flood, battered but not yet struck.

"Establish Orthodoxy. ”

"The founding of the choir...... You will be the original believers. ”

"Sing praises to this beauty and pray for God's gifts. ”

"Secret Blood ......"

Countless words rang out, as if someone was whispering in Lorenzo's ear, accompanied by a cacophony of noises, the picture in front of him was shattered, and each fragment was a scene experienced by a man himself, and now all appeared in front of Lorenzo's eyes.

It seemed that only a second had passed, but it seemed that more than ten years had passed, and the man's life had been briefly read by Lorenzo, and an indescribable emotion slowly rose.

Little by little, the pressure increased until Lorenzo's mood also changed slightly.

He felt it.

Lorenzo felt an eerie chill at this moment, not a physical perception, but a threat to his inner will.

"Go kill Erin Adler, she knows too much......"

"Ivar. ”

"The northern part of the Vikings, at the end of the world......"

In the world of nothingness, Lorenzo's face began to change little by little, and his familiar face began to distort into the appearance of a man, and as he received more and more information, Lorenzo was gradually distorted into a completely different appearance.

At the moment when he was about to succeed, he suddenly realized the threat of Gabriel the Power.

"I'm ...... Lorenzo Holmos. ”

The man's eyes glazed and whispered, and the next moment his voice turned into a roar, and a raging flame ignited under his dull gaze, and the nameless power changed his body and corrected the twisted form again.

Lorenzo regained himself and took a deep breath.

He realized the cost of this power and felt palpitations at it.

When Lorenzo invades the man's [gap], the man is also invading Lorenzo, which is a mutual process, and under the washing of men's memories and emotions, it is easy for cowardly will to get lost in it, even if Lorenzo is the dominant party.

It's like Lorenzo invading 047 on the night of Arrival, 047's broken will affected Lorenzo for a long time, although he has remembered all this, he has the ability to completely destroy the will of men, but there will always be some indelible residue that remains in Lorenzo's will.

"The more you invade, the closer you get to being lost......

Lorenzo muttered to himself, and he began to understand why this power had been deliberately sealed.

It's a powerful force, but it must not be abused.

The end of abuse is that the dregs of the will pile up more and more, when it can affect itself...... Lorenzo was not clear about what would happen.

However, Lorenzo didn't worry too much, since he had this power, counting this time, he had only destroyed the will of others three times in total.

047, Horner, and the man who is now dealing with it.

"So let me see if there's any useful information first......"

Lorenzo "looked" at the fragments of memory.

Based on Lorenzo's current understanding of the Gap, it is a kind of consciousness space that everyone has, storing the human soul.

The scenes presented in the gap also vary from person to person, and Lorenzo speculates that it depends on where the individual's own emotions are most intense.

Lorenzo's was the endless ice field, at the foot of which buried his ships that had escaped from the Seven Hills, and the wreckage of which rested one demon hunter after another.

If Lorenzo knew about Higg's Gap, he would have realized that his guess was correct, and that Higg's Gap was his hometown.

These emotions are where the most intense are.

Human beings themselves are unable to actively peek into their own [gaps], and they usually need some means to assist, such as the influence of tomatobeans and demons...... These can all be understood as a way to go deeper, to the deeper depths of darkness.

Gabriel the Power allows Lorenzo to easily invade the gaps of others, destroying the will of others in the gaps...... Or something called a soul that kills someone and takes possession of his body.

Now Lorenzo had destroyed the man's will, and with the death of the will, the [gap] also began to crumble, turning into the darkness of nothingness, and there was a broken light in the darkness, that is, his emotions and memories, like burning embers, emitting the last glimmer of light.

He wasn't quite sure if the laws he was familiar with in reality were common here, but like instinct, he did, to "peek" into the memories.

Lorenzo silently recited his name, reminding himself of who it was, and then touched the memories.

......

"This is the secret blood. ”

The plague doctor stood in front of everyone and picked up a needle that contained a ruby-like liquid that was elite clear.

It seems to be a church, but there is nothing sacred about it at the moment, and it is full of a sense of strangeness and oppression.

Lorenzo could feel the emotions of a man in it, and he was scared and happy.

The man appears to be a soldier, and many others are standing with him in the church, the front of which is covered by a veil and below which is the plague doctor in action.

"Of course, to be precise, this is a degraded secret blood, but compared to the previous works, it has become stable, greatly reducing the risk that you will be alienated into demons, but don't be too happy, the risk is just smaller, it still exists. ”

The epidemic doctor continued to explain the newly manufactured medicine, and at the same time, a volunteer was also sent to the front of the stage.

"Should I say that my predecessors had a great influence on me, or is it something else? I've always wanted to try to reproduce the secret blood of the Demon Hunter Order and create a warrior as powerful as the Demon Hunter, but then I suddenly realized something. ”

The plague doctor looks like he's explaining, but it's as if he's explaining something to someone.

"It dawned on me that a spearhead like a demon hunter is very powerful, but it doesn't work for us, what we need is a strong army, which can be made up of dozens of witchers, but it can also be hundreds of famous, cheap, and more powerful than ordinary soldiers. ”

As he spoke, the plague doctor injected the secret blood into the volunteer's body, and the forbidden power quickly worked in his body, and his breathing became rapid for a moment, and he looked in pain, his skin became bright red and hot, his blood vessels bulged, and he arched his body like a beast.

"In the end, it is the state that dominates the war, the thousands of soldiers who have been thrown into the battlefield, the artillery and the warships, not the witchers who may be able to turn the tide of the war locally, but what about the whole?"

The doctor's voice gradually became crazy.

"We don't need to be stronger than the witchers, we just need to be stronger than ordinary people. ”

The volunteer on the side eased up, and he slowly stood up, and he could clearly feel the difference in his temperament, and now there was a lot more beastly rage.

"Yes, that's it, hundreds of soldiers, far more powerful than ordinary people, they may not be stable enough, but after getting out of control, they will still become an excellent weapon to continue to kill, and no one can stop the advance of this army. ”

This time, the plague doctor looked at the rest of the soldiers in the church.

"This time, you will be the first of glory, the vanguard of God. ”

The soldiers were silent, not sure if they were fanatics or something else, and there was a little fear in them, but beneath the fear was madness and joy.

They are about to die for God.

Lorenzo could feel the emotion, and even said that he felt that he was really standing in this church right now, listening to the madness of the plague doctors, and dedicating himself to this for God.

It's too easy to get lost in power.

Before you can do that, though, you need to go through a test of God. ”

The plague doctor gave up his seat as he spoke, and it was then that Lorenzo noticed that there was still a person sitting in the front row, and all the words of the plague doctor just now were addressed to this person.

The man was dressed in a crimson robe, which was the cardinal's symbol.

Migel?

Lorenzo was skeptical, but he had his back to Lorenzo, and Lorenzo couldn't see what he looked like.

The man walked under the idol and pulled down the curtain.

Lorenzo felt it.

He felt the man's horror and ecstasy at the moment, and he also felt his own emotions, fear and anger.

Under the veil was not an idol, but an angel, an angel crucified.

The body was alive, with its eyes closed as if it were asleep, without any sexual characteristics, and its arms were pulled apart to fit the jagged wings that grew out of its back, and then it was pierced by a long nail and nailed to the cross.

All of them were attracted by the angels, and with their gaze, colorful hallucinations appeared in front of their eyes, some of them wept bitterly and said that they had committed evil deeds, some knelt down with a face of piety, and some slowly moved towards the angels.

It was a sacred scene, but Lorenzo, who saw it all through the fragments of memory, felt a chill.

What kind of angel is this, it is clearly the most evil existence in this world.

The Silencer.

This unknown existence is so terrifying, even the remaining body has such magical power, even if Lorenzo observes it indirectly through memory fragments, Lorenzo is still affected by it.

The picture in front of him began to slowly distort, and it was at this moment that the voice sounded.

"Those who survive under God's gaze are selected believers, and you will join this holy army to complete the unfinished crusade. ”

It was the guy in red, and he slowly turned his head to look at everyone.

It was a mask, a cold, pitch-black mask, like an unknowable abyss, devouring all light.

"I will be your commander-in-chief. ”

He said.

"You may call me ...... Imam. ”

Beneath the dark mask, there was a burning fire, pure white, like the midday sun.

Memories are shattered.

In the world of nothingness, the fragments around Lorenzo gradually lost their light, and when Lorenzo destroyed the [gap] and forcibly plundered it all, they were already embers, and now the last light has also been extinguished, and there is darkness in this world of nothingness.

Lorenzo opened his eyes, and he was back in reality, in front of him was the man he had invaded, this guy was lying in a pool of blood like a corpse.

His body was still alive, but his soul had been completely shattered.

Lorenzo froze in place, his body seemed to have lost all its temperature, it was cold, and he slowly raised his hand, his palms covered with cold sweat.

He had a very bad conjecture, no, it wasn't bad anymore.

He's alive?

That's impossible.

yes, I didn't find his body......

But...... Absolutely impossible, that kind of injury is absolutely certain death, unless......

Lorenzo's eyes tightened, and the moonlight fell down the window on the pool of blood, and he could see his own vague reflection in the blood.

Unless a miracle strikes.

His own survival was a miracle, so what about him?

Lorenzo didn't dare to continue thinking about it, the army of secret blood, a strong enemy who had not yet died.

His mind was completely frozen, and he didn't even notice the sound of approaching footsteps, and someone rushed through the darkness, and the moonlight reflected the knife and gun in his hand.

Lorenzo didn't kill all the enemies, and there was a guy left behind, who vowed to avenge his teammates, and the shots rang out.

The enemy from the darkness fell, falling in front of Lorenzo, splattered blood on his face, and the blood was slightly warm, slowly awakening him.

Lorenzo took a deep breath, the huge amount of information almost overwhelmed him, and before he could pick up the nail sword and arm himself, a corpse moved in the pile of corpses next to him.

Lorenzo warily grabbed the nail sword, only to see a dark shadow squirming slowly in it, and she pushed away the corpses that pressed against her, and staggered to her feet.

She still had a pistol in her hand, and it looked like she had done the shooting.

The moonlight also reflected her appearance, there was a muzzle on her right chest, and blood was still slowly flowing out at the moment, but there was no fear of death on the woman's face, she looked calm, as if it was all just a game.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Lorenzo Holmos. ”

The woman's voice was clear, and then she stretched out her hand covered with blood, and a cold fragrance echoed in the thick blood.

"Erin Adler. ”

Lorenzo let out the familiar smell.

Erin smiled, but before she could say anything more, her vision went dark and she fell headlong in a pool of blood, the excessive blood loss causing her to fall into a coma.
