The erosion stirred up a windless storm, and the wailing ghosts were swept in, and they sounded the ominous chirping in everyone's heart like a flock of thousands of crows circling and fluttering.

"William, tell me the details of your experiments. ”

Hearing Lorenzo's words, Merlin immediately quickened his pace, and he tried to contain his emotions and asked calmly.

"I see the anomalous erosion that caused all this as a disease, and the demons are the sick people infested by the epidemic, and I think if I can cure it...... Like I said before, find that inhibition, that shepherd, but it's clear that I'm wrong. ”

After learning the truth, this cruel truth almost broke William.

"The shepherd, for the benefit of the whole flock, in its eyes we restless lambs are as damned as hungry wolves, and it will dispose of us, and the Red News incident is like this, a force that we don't know about suddenly descends. ”

William said with emotion.

"Just like now, the intensity of the erosion is rising, and they appear out of thin air, destroying the material around them. But it's more of an equivalent exchange, based on the matter around it, plundering it to build its own entity out of thin air, and I don't know the details. ”

William took a breath and continued.

"At that time, I was directly exposed to the high-intensity erosion environment, many people collapsed directly into demons, and some people were still resisting stubbornly, but it was useless, I was one of them, I only had about a few tens of seconds to think about all this, as for the appearance of those shepherds, I only had a glimpse. ”

"What do they look like?" Merlin asked.

"Angel ......"

William reminisced about the past that he shouldn't have remembered, and his face was a little sacred, but as soon as he confided a little, he was interrupted by Lorenzo.

"They are not angels, they are only divine beings, they are similar to a kind of spiritual life, they cannot be completely killed, and the form they see is only a replaceable shell for them. ”

William looked straight at Lorenzo, and Merlin on the side was also stunned, and he asked in hindsight.

"You already know all this?"

"Almost? It's just that William made me more sure of this? Again, that's why I warned you at the time......" Lorenzo said.

"Because you've encountered them and survived. ”

Merlin thinks it's complicated? And it gets even more interesting.

"Knowledge is cursed? Merlin, you know that very well? This should not be within the fence, and we should not cross the border? "Lorenzo said?" If it weren't for that, I'd be hesitant to tell you this...... Not everyone can face a monster like that. ”

"Are you ready?"

William interrupted the conversation between the two, and after a brief moment of surprise, he easily accepted it. After all, William was also the chief of technology? He has the same sanity as Merlin.

"It's hard to believe, but from the results of my experiments, the shepherds are protecting humans, and the way it does this is by blocking all information transmission, which means that all those who know can now be killed by it.

Why is that why for so many years? No one really understands the cause of the demons, and I see it as a kind of information threshold? When the information you know reaches a certain value, it will cross the fence and trigger the shepherd. ”

Merlin's expressionless face couldn't see the so-called fear? All that remains is extreme indifference, like a machine.

"So we could all die now? Really?"

"Maybe become a madman like me...... But it looks like I'm not going to live long? Isn't it?"

William coughed vigorously as he spoke? Red blood spewed out, and he looked at his bound arm, the flesh beneath it began to squirm slowly, as if it would not be long before he could no longer maintain his human form.

"That's terrible...... Lorenzo, you've known these for a long time, so do you have what it takes to deal with them?"

Merlin said and looked at the heavily armed Lorenzo, the witcher in front of him had known about this for a long time, but due to the existence of the information threshold, he could not tell Merlin about this, and he could not share this disaster with anyone, until the current experiment on William, Merlin knew this, and he revealed it.

"Probably yes, I can't kill them completely, but I can at least destroy their shells, but they're always going to come back, and I don't know what happens after that. ”

Lorenzo had some confidence in that.

Lorenzo had always been in a dilemma, he knew too many secrets to share with anyone, which would only drag everyone else into disaster, and he had to live with his fears.

But now it's a little different, and I don't know if it's schadenfreude or something else, looking at Merlin, he suddenly feels that he has a comrade-in-arms.

"Then I'll leave it to you, and I'm going to try to get this information on as far as I can, before I'm killed, in a way that shepherds can't see. ”

Merlin had no expression to speak of, but he could tell from his words that he was in a frenzy.

Lorenzo was not surprised by such a Merlin, he was an alchemist, a scholar, knowledge was invaluable to him, and knowledge that freed humanity from the curse was above all else.

Although Merlin looks very cold, under this cold shell, there is an extremely fanatical heart.

"Think about it, William, do you have any more information to say? For your sake, we may have another Red Signal incident, and many people will die, and I hope they will die more worthily. ”

Merlin said as he put his hands on William's shoulders, his voice stern and pleading.

William's pupils dilated slightly, he looked troubled, his expression was hideous, and the confusion of memories and erosion affected him all the time, and he was running out of time.

"The Victorian royal family. ”

He thought of something.

"Yes, Victorian Royalty, they must have known about this, and the reason why I was experimenting privately was that they kept vetoing my proposals, which were perfectly in line with the objectives of the purification agency from the point of view of profit, and if I could identify and harness the power of the shepherds, it would be a great victory for us against the demons, but they did not agree. ”

William's words trembled, and the speed of his speech increased.

"Yes, they must know something, so it makes sense, they know the existence of the shepherds, they also know the knowledge of these curses, and in order to prevent the disaster from spreading, they preempt the shepherds and stop us.

But why haven't they been attacked by the shepherds? Or do they just know vague information that is so vague that they can't trigger the threshold?"

William laughed maniacally, marveling at the ingenuity of all these designs.

"It's a perfect fence where the informant can't tell anyone about it, and even they themselves can't protect it, and everything that has to do with it is worn away little by little until no one knows it anymore. ”

A perfect closed loop that hides those unspeakable secrets in the dark.

"After [the fence]...... What is there?"

William asked.

In the void, a startled thunderbolt responded to William's question, and the alarm sounded one after another, and the shocking erosion came, and the chaotic electricity could be seen swimming between the walls of the well, and then the pitch-black thunder appeared out of thin air, it instantly decomposed and destroyed the matter around it, and devoured it like a greedy demon.

"Prepare for battle!"

Lorenzo yelled loudly.

"The enemy can't be killed, but its shell can be destroyed, their main nature is similar to that of the witchers, to be precise, we witchers are like them, but these are not important, don't be merciful, full fire!"

Lorenzo had thought about such a day, he led the mortals to fight against these weirdness, but he didn't expect everything to be so fast, and he was a little surprised by the speed, but it's not bad to think about it, the end is coming, this is the eve of the disaster, no matter what, there is not much time left for Lorenzo.

The surging of the thunder ceased, and after the silence, pairs of white iron wings spread out from them, and under their wrapping, the merciless angel opened its eyes.

Shepherds, Silencers, or Watchmen?

It doesn't matter what it is at the moment, they are enemies, and enemies have only a path to destruction.

"This ...... What the hell is it?"

Above the dome, Shrike could hardly believe what he was seeing, and the incomparably solid walls of the well appeared one after another huge holes under the emergence of thunder, and the metal edges of these holes were burned red, and all the matter in them disappeared, and those holy angels were replaced by those holy angels.

This is a very reliable defense of the Perpetual Pump, which is difficult for either the original sin armor or the demon to defeat, but it crumbles the moment the thunder group appears.

"They're not ghosts, they're enemies, shrikes, kill them all. ”

Percival, who was unusually jumping, calmed down at this moment, and she shifted the muzzle of her riding gun, aimed at an angel who had just come out of the mine, and pulled the trigger.

A roaring gunfire rang out, and the huge steel bullet case ejected with a red-hot aftertaste, and at the same time a scorching trajectory erupted at the muzzle of the mounted gun, and the heavy bullet tore through the air and made a sharp scream, and a dark red afterglow could be seen, and then fell on the angel's body and completely exploded.

The kinetic energy instantly overturned the angel, and the exploding steel cut into its body like a thousand sharp swords, nailing it to the ground, and the entire body was blown open, and you could see the blood-red flesh and broken bones under it, it should be completely torn apart, but the countless red silk threads pulled the minced flesh together just right, so as not to let the body die completely.

"Take William out of here, Merlin!"

Lorenzo lifted Winchester up and opened fire on the angels, and now a guy like Merlin was sent to death if he stayed here.

"No, I can't leave yet, and if this thing is really that harmful, all of us will have to stay in the workshop. ”

Merlin knew very well that the people in the workshop were now restless lambs, and now they had to unite all their forces to kill the shepherds, otherwise escaping would only kill more innocent people.

"Then stay away!

As Lorenzo shouted, a violent gunfire came from above the dome, and the lancers began to fire continuously, each shot so heavy that it was like throwing an iron spear, and each blow could inflict heavy damage on the angels, but unfortunately could not kill them completely.

The shrike realized this, too, and the cobweb-like red threads were healing them, so the sword dancer suddenly leaped from the platform, removing the armor from the weapon rack as he fell.

Pull the trigger and a blazing stream of fire crosses the battlefield.

The molten iron split the battlefield at the bottom of the workshop, briefly halting the angels' advances, the hot iron falling on their bodies, flesh crumbling and healing, and they carried out their orders as if they were not in pain.

It was a sacred sight, the holy angels bathed in golden molten iron, like living statues, spiral nails pierced out of their palms, but before they could attack, huge black shadows fell to the ground, and sharp blades cut them off.

"Suppress them!"

Lorenzo yelled.

Like a ghostly figure that could not be captured, he slid through the blades of angelic swords, his nails tearing through body after body, and his armor was marked with countless scratches and wounds.

Truth be told, Lorenzo didn't feel that the situation was good, they couldn't leave the workshop until the fighting stopped, and there were not only warriors here, but also many scientists like Merlin, who were very valuable and needed to be protected first.

As for these enemies, Lorenzo fought them, but none of them killed them completely...... He may have the power to kill them, but it is the will of the Silencers that dominates the husks, and Lorenzo can try to fight from the gaps.

Such thoughts flashed away, and Watson's warning came back to mind.

Lorenzo hesitated, but in the moment of hesitation, a miserable roar rang out.

A lone paramedic knelt on the ground, clutching his skull, crying and shouting something, before his back began to bulge, followed by sharp bone spurs bulging from it, tearing his entire body into a hideous appearance. In this high-intensity erosion environment, with the appearance of angels, he was alienated into a demon.

It's a perfect closed loop, in order not to leak the danger, none of them can leave the workshop until they repel the angels, this is the line of defense, but also the cage, the longer they stay here, the easier it is for the will of mortals to be corrupted.

What to do?

While in the port of Maruri, Lorenzo also caused the monsters to descend, but he didn't know the outcome, but he didn't think Lawrence would die at their hands, so they should leave after certain conditions were met.

Yes, it should be like this, like they attacked Lawrence first, not themselves, and they were the culprits who caused all this, but Lawrence took most of the firepower for him.

Information Threshold...... Priority ......"

Lorenzo thought of something, and his gaze jerked to the side, shouting.

"Merlin, stay away from William!"
