Chapter 26: The Labyrinth
The twisted and mutated Fort William.
Chapel.
Suzanne has a short knife in her palm, and she is fighting the flesh ball monster covered in tentacles.
Suzanne showed strength and speed far beyond that of humans.
Her figure is almost elusive to Char's naked eye.
Char stared blankly at the battle that he couldn't intervene, swallowing and foaming with difficulty, his back soaked with cold sweat.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Char would have found it hard to imagine that a human being who had undergone mechanical prosthetic transformation would be so powerful.
Suzanne is a seemingly thin girl on the outside, but inside she hides the terrifying power to wrestle with monsters.
Surrounded by the ancient castle of the Second Age, Char will always forget that this era is no longer the age of magic, but the age of technology!
It's the power of technology!
Due to the inexplicable interference caused by the mutation of Fort William, most of Susanna's high-tech equipment could not be used, and she could only use mechanical prosthetic cold weapons to fight monsters in close combat.
The ugly monster in front of him looked terrifying, and his strength was not strong.
Before Suzanne runs out of energy, she's sure she'll kill her!
Rise!
Suzanne stepped on both feet, and her petite body flew high, a full three meters high, and swept over the monster's head.
At the same time, the palms of her hands were cold, and the short blades blurred and extended, turning into two long knives in an instant, slashing out a cross slash in the air.
The long knife made of composite material has excellent strength.
Hit the ground, close the knife, purple hair fluttering.
Blood splattered, and the huge ball of flesh monster suffered a shocking cross wound in its abdomen, which then split into four petals like a watermelon, turning into slimy corpses.
"That's amazing!"
Char exclaimed.
The long knife in Susanna's palm retracted into the mechanical prosthetic, and she turned back and smiled coolly, "How's it going?" Have you figured it out? Do you want to work with me to get out of this hellish place together? ”
Char smiled bitterly: "Of course." If you'll take me this drag bottle. ”
"You're not a drag bottle." Suzanne shook her head, "Without you, I would never have been able to leave this labyrinth. I had a feeling that Ender was snooping on me somehow. He didn't dare to face me, he just wanted to trap me. He wouldn't let me go, and once I got out of range, he would call the Silverwing Hunter Guild, and my companions would level the place. ”
"Silverwing Hunter Guild..."Char's body shook.
Suzanne looked proud when she mentioned the Silverwing Hunter Guild.
The Silver Wing Hunter Guild is the number one guild in Hope City, and Susanna, as a member of it, has a proud capital.
Hunters, in fact, are mercenaries of the old days.
In this day and age, federal laws are almost a dead letter.
In the city, crime is happening all the time.
There are also crimes that involve gray areas, big business and big conglomerates, and federal police and agents can't get a shot at it.
At this time, hunters need to take the action, help the police collect evidence, and even assassinate important people.
In a way, hunters and federal police are in a partnership.
It's just that hunters are more free, and often accept a variety of tasks in order to earn money.
Suzanne showed enough strength to kill Fort William.
"But you need my help?" Char didn't quite understand.
"Because... I'm always lost. ”
Susanna's face turned crimson, she raised her hand, pointed to her head, and said, "My flesh has been transformed by prosthetic limbs, and I have completely surpassed humans, and I am a Sequence 2 hunter. All over my body, only my brain has not been modified. Therefore, I don't have the perverted memory of you 'readers'. The structure of Fort Wilhelm was already complex, but after the mutation, it was simply a labyrinth of chaos. With your super memory, you can find a way out. As for the other dangers, with my protection, you don't have to worry, you just need to concentrate on finding your way. ”
"I see." Char understood.
The ability to "never forget" seems to be extremely weak. But in the maze, it is the most effective ability!
Immediately, Char led the way in front, left the chapel, and walked forward: "I remember that after the chapel, it was the kitchen. ”
After passing through the twisted archway, Char found herself in the exhibition room, not the kitchen of her memory.
"It's all messed up. Previous memories don't work. Char frowned slightly, looked around, and continued to walk forward with Susanna.
The kitchen became an exhibition room.
The library was turned into an open-air garden.
Char and Suzanne were clearly walking on the first floor, passing through a door, and unexpectedly came to an unfamiliar attic.
"No... Fort Wilhelm has been completely distorted. This is a distortion in space, even beyond the laws of physics. Everything is disorganized and elusive. Char and Suzanne returned to the chapel and back to square one.
"Can't even you find your way out?" Suzanne bit her lip, "But I don't want to die in this place." ”
"Maybe... We should not think about leaving, but find the hub. With such a huge building, there must be a core hub. Ander was in that place, spying on us, playing with us like cats and rats, toying with us in applause. ”
Char's mind suddenly flashed with a flash of inspiration and muttered.
"Ender... We don't even know where he's hiding. Suzanne was discouraged.
"I might have a way."
Char leaned into Susanna's ear and said in a low voice, "I know, you didn't inject the Dream Elixir. You must have that potion with you. ”
Dream potion is very valuable, Suzanne naturally will not discard it at will, she immediately understands that Char wants to use dream potion to enter the state of dream roaming.
No matter how thick the walls are, they can't stop consciousness.
"It should work." Suzanne took out the Dream Potion from her backpack, helped Char roll up her sleeves, and injected the purple potion into his body.
Her body flickered hot and cold, and Char's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she fell asleep.
After a few moments, Char's consciousness revived, and she found Suzanne carefully guarding her body.
Char's flesh fell into a deep sleep, breathing slowly and snoring softly.
"Did it work?"
Although Suzanne was unable to directly observe Char with her eyes, her perception was extremely sensitive.
In the silence of the ancient castle, Suzanne could feel that Char's consciousness was behind her.
The next moment, Char's ears heard a "bang" heartbeat, and a low roar that ran through his soul.
His consciousness passed through the wall, in the direction of his heartbeat and low roar.
