Chapter 37 Someone Else
The sound of wailing twists and turns, weaving into a sad repertoire in the icy cold wind.
The old Dunling side moved far faster than everyone thought, after all, near the manor was the royal area, and those well-armed guards were the most deterrent force, and they quickly deployed under the order, but the order was not to attack the manor, but to blockade it, no one could enter, and no one was allowed to come out.
The red ram was forged into a scarlet line, and the sophisticated weapons were pointed at the burning manor.
The true executors have arrived tonight with the roaring train under the cover of night, avoiding the view of the people, fighting in the shadows, the reaction force of the purge has arrived, and the aluminum rifles add to the burning fire.
The heavy gunfire continued, and no one could figure out where so many demons came from, judging by the peep system, such a large number of demons appeared in the old Dunling, they should have discovered it as soon as possible, instead of waiting for them to strike before they became alert.
What's even more frightening is that the number of demons, although not as large as the number of them were when Endtown was in operation, can be seen from what has been observed so far, and they have no idea where the demons are coming from.
Most of the survivors have been protected, and when they say they are protected, they are just hiding in the houses and closing the gates, the soldiers on the outside are still slowly advancing, and the inside of the manor is still in chaos.
Under the dark night, there were bright lampposts, and the shadow of a giant whale swam behind the deep clouds, gazing at the earth with that bright gaze.
Horner walked among the burning castles, and the wood-carved man seemed to have gained the power of the name Xu at this moment, and his face, which had been stiff, showed a hideous look.
"I'm doing well, Mentor Lawrence. ”
Horner whispered, but no one answered him.
He looked around for a moment, as if then he remembered that Mentor Lawrence was no longer with him, and that it was a big ball tonight, and they all had their own partners.
But it's a real shame, this is the most perfect and glorious scene in Horner's life, he did his best on the stage, but no audience could see it.
There was a look of loss in his eyes, but as the people wailed, he ran slowly as if he had gained some momentum.
This is the last one on the list, in fact, Horner didn't want to kill so many people, but this is the person asked by Mentor Lawrence, and the mysterious mentor also wants something in the chaos, but the two have different purposes.
Horner just wanted to kill the person who created the tragedy, the person who made Horner this tragedy.
He is just an ordinary maintenance worker, and the purpose of every day is to eat and drink, but there are still people who refuse to let him go, and he doesn't know that person.
The same is true of Horner's master, who is also a maintenance worker, and he is a little unbearable to see the wandering Horner, and finally adopts and teaches him.
According to the story, Master Jie was a good man, but he didn't end well, he died in the factory, fell into the furnace, and Horner couldn't even collect his body, after all, it costs a lot of money for a machine to stop working for a minute.
The fishy sensation welled up in his throat, and he stopped his pace and retched vigorously, his vision was a little dazed, but soon he adjusted himself, and all the pain was forcefully suppressed.
The trajectory of the fire streaked through the air, a weapon Horner had never seen before, and the bullet burned violently through the steel and planks before finally incinerating a demon.
The soldiers of the Purifier broke through the gates of the manor, skillfully dispersed and advanced, killing every demon in their field of vision.
Mentor Lawrence had told him this, and there was a strange force within Old Dunling, and they must have been.
In his previous revenge, Horner had encountered those people, and the strange armor was not something he could resist.
Silently smiling, as if he felt that the world was complicated, or maybe something else, he shook his head and turned forward.
None of that had anything to do with him at the moment, he was targeting only one person.
......
"What are you doing, hide!"
At the basement door in the corner of the manor, Duke Salicado yelled at Duke Phoenix.
This is a safe house, although it is disguised as a basement, but the mezzanine of the wooden door is a heavy steel plate, which contains life support supplies, and I don't know what this duke has experienced to arrange such a thing in his own home.
Arthur gave him a disgusted look before continuing to reload his revolver.
At Lorenzo's reminder, he left the ball and returned to the carriage, but this was not an escape, but a counterattack, as the Duke of a military family, Arthur was much more vicious than the Duke of Salicado, he first notified the purifier, and then removed the revolver placed in the car and returned to the ball.
Arthur's target is the Duke of Salicado, as Lorenzo said, the most valuable thing in this ball is the dukes, Arthur himself is not worried, as the head of the purification mechanism, he is more terrible than everyone thinks, so he returns with a gun to protect the rest of the dukes.
But except for the frightened Duke Salikado, Seleuca has disappeared, although Arthur is also a little concerned about the girl who is the same age as Eve, but he can only protect the current Duke of Salicado first.
I saw that the Duke who usually smiled changed his demeanor, and took the revolver to kill a bloody path, the marksmanship was exquisite, and each shot was fired when the demon was infinitely close to him, and at close range, the bloody heads exploded one by one.
"I still have to protect the others, so you can hide here yourself. ”
Arthur stood in the doorway, looking like he didn't want to hide in this basement.
"You have to protect me, they're targeting me!"
Duke Salicado screamed madly, the merchant looked really scared, after all, no amount of wealth could buy life.
"The target is you?"
Arthur asked, looking suspiciously into the basement, confused.
"Why do you think they're here to kill you?"
A group of demons were exposed to the old Dunling, just to kill him?Not to mention whether Duke Salicado knew about demons, why would he think that such a twisted monster was here for him.
"It's the remnants! It must be the remnants!"
He screamed, his voice high.
"Damn it!"
Arthur couldn't stand the man's screams anymore, he pulled the trigger, and the loud gunfire finally stopped Salikado's wailing.
Apparently poor Duke Salicado has been affected by the demonic erosion, and has fallen into a great panic, and his condition is constantly deteriorating.
Looking at his miserable appearance, Arthur didn't find it troublesome.
He has seen a lot of such people, and the purification mechanism will always find many survivors in the operation against demons, but most of them are corrupted, unable to communicate at all, and can only be sent to a mental sanatorium, hoping that one day these crazy people will come to a normal life.
The biggest difficulty in the battle between humans and demons is the strange erosion, which is like a torrent of fear hitting the dam of the spirit, once the embankment breaks, humans will fall into the madness of fear, which is also the reason why the knowledge of demons is so scarce.
Many scholars who understand demons end up dying of their own madness, so knowledge dies out from generation to generation, and even if there are books left, most of them are not things that ordinary people can read.
"Calm down, Duke Salicado, if you want to live, make things clear!"
Arthur forced Duke Salicado to calm down, he was a shrewd businessman and if this guy went crazy it would have an impact on the economic situation in Old Dunling.
Many people can die tonight, but Salikado is absolutely not allowed to die, everyone else can be easily replaced, but he can't.
The Duke of Salicado had an innumerable fortune in his name, and if something happened to him, it would inevitably cause another dispute in Old Dunling.
"It's the remnants, the remnants. ”
Salikado tried to calm his breathing as much as he could, and the erosion worked in his mind, and he could not see countless cheeks flashing before his eyes, roaring at him.
"What's going on!"
"I ...... I hired them...... As you know, the remnants are very cheap and exploited at will, but recently a small group has appeared within them. ”
Salikado thought back to the letter he had received.
"They need to be treated fairly, you know, how is that possible, and then he said that he would come and kill me, and I would just take it as a threatening letter, and you know, people like me will receive a lot of threatening letters......"
"Yes, but you are the only one who believes so many threatening letters?"
Arthur said fiercely.
"It's all this time, and you still have something to hide from me. ”
The Duke of Salicado wept sadly, but then pointed at Arthur's queen as if he had seen something terrible.
"It'...... It!"
Arthur let go of Salicado, and in an instant the wind surged through the basement, and the demon found him, and the sharp claws slashed down.
It was difficult for ordinary people to dodge, but Arthur's action was faster than ordinary people, I saw that he quickly dodged the attack, and then put the muzzle of the gun against the demon's mouth, the trigger was pulled, the bullet pierced the mouth, and the gushing blood stained the wall behind him.
The demon tried to attack, but Arthur swung his fist and collided with the scarlet arm, making a sound of broken bones, but it was not Arthur who was injured, but the demon, and the whole arm was weirdly folded back, and then the muzzle of the gun was pressed against its jaw, and the whole head exploded in the next second.
The demon's body spoke weakly, the blood almost stained Arthur red, he was like a demon, and when he turned around, Duke Salicado's eyes were full of fear.
"Duke Salicado, to be honest, you're in big trouble. ”
Arthur refilled the nest, his voice calm, but overall like a dead man.
......
An elbow knocked the Duke of Salicado unconscious, and Arthur locked him in the basement, standing in the empty manor, facing the burning world, he lit a cigarette a little tiredly.
"I have a new discovery, these demons are from the Duke of Bensalikado, many remnants died in his factory, and no one knows about these things by virtue of the duke's power, and the group of the remnants has assassinated him several times before, but today it is the demons who have come to assassinate. ”
"What do you mean in the south?"
Blue Jade's voice sounded in the channel, and today she was on duty at the central monitoring station.
"Yes, unfair treatment only breeds conflicts, and we thought that the armed forces of the remnants would be able to make trouble in the south, but apparently they don't know how to get along with the demons. ”
"Are you sure?"
Blue Jade's voice was a little incredulous.
"I don't know, but it should be about the same, if Duke Salicado is right, these demons are here to kill him. ”
Arthur raised the muzzle of his gun as he spoke, killing a demon trying to get closer.
"We have always suspected that the armed forces of those remnants originated from Gaul Nalo, and our sworn enemy, a century-old enemy, still refuses to live in peace, but I can't imagine that there will be a shadow of demons here. ”
The remnants of Gaulna have become a serious social problem in Invig in recent years, and they have recently formed an armed group to cause chaos like terrorists, but these are just small fights in Invig's view, presumably after the White Tide Strait.
Unexpectedly, their activity location extended to the old Dunling, and it was related to demons.
Inferior secret blood, armed groups, onslaught on the nobility.
Arthur sucked the last of his tobacco and dropped the cigarette butt on the ground.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that Eve was still in this hellish place, and his head cracked.
Trouble after trouble......
Arthur's breathing suddenly stopped, a dark shadow passed in front of him, and then the sharp claws pierced his abdomen, the hell thing was really terrifying, and launched an attack at the moment when Arthur let his guard down the most.
"So you're the one who came to kill him?"
Arthur had a cold eye, obviously suffering a wound to his abdomen, but he asked viciously like a nobody.
Horner didn't speak, his body was completely demonized, his bones twisted and growing, his face vaguely humanoid, his eyes hollow, burning with flames.
It was a pair of vengeful eyes that completely dominated the empty soul.
This kind of person is not the decision-maker behind the scenes, he is just a pathetic ghost who is driven by people.
Arthur smiled, and for a moment he saw the man clearly.
"Blue Jade, Salicado is not their target, the real target is someone else. ”
Whether it's a burning castle or a surging demon, it's none of Horner's business, he's just a lone avenger.
Nothing here belongs to him, so wouldn't it be a waste to create such a prosperous world for the revenge of one person, whether it is the invasion of demons or the revenge of Horner, it is only a cover-up, to disguise the real purpose, this poor soul is an outcast in the first place, to attract all attention.
Arthur clenched the claw, and the strong force slowly pulled the sharp claw out of his abdomen, and Horner tried to suppress it, but it found that its strength could not suppress Arthur at all.
"How...... Probably ......"
Barely making a discernible sound in his throat, Horner never thought a mortal would have such power.
"There's a lot more you don't know, young man. ”
Arthur broke the claw, restraining it like a pincer, and then smashed down with his other hand, breaking Horner's claw violently, splattering blood and bone chips, and Arthur stood like steel in the middle of it. This visual experience is much more exciting than any gunfire.
A strange power overlayed the mortal's body, and the power that had been dormant for a long time came alive again.
In fact, many times the people who purify the mechanism will forget one thing, before they get the armor technology, what does the purification mechanism rely on to fight the demons?
Arthur picked up the broken claw with his backhand and stabbed Horner like a blade.
