Chapter 144: The Second Gate

"Hair ...... What happened?"

Eve cowered in the corner, looking up at the lights on the ceiling that were shaking as they shook.

What happened?

Everyone felt the tremor just now, and some of the patients screamed in the spacious safe room.

Not long ago, although it was unclear what was going on, some of the most valuable patients for research were transported here for the sake of value, including Eve and her neurotic friends.

Those neuropaths are being tied to the hospital bed at the moment and screaming, some are shouting about the earthquake, and some are calling for their mother.

Paramedics did their best to reassure the sick, while soldiers with guns were on the perimeter.

Something bad happened......

The medical staff comforted the patient, saying that this time it was not an injection, but a spring outing, and after hearing this, the neuropaths laughed happily.

Sometimes Eve is a little envious of these guys, for fools, life doesn't need to think too much at all, but Eve is not a fool, and she can't be a fool, she is the only one of these patients with normal sanity, and she vaguely knows what is happening.

This is the Black Mountain Hospital, a place guarded by the Purifier, and judging by the violent shaking just now, it seems that there are only two things that can happen here.

Experimental accidents, or enemy attacks.

I don't know exactly what happened, but from this speculation, whatever it is is undoubtedly not a good thing, but then Eve felt it, that familiar feeling.

The strange cold feeling was like a sharp sword piercing her heart, her pupils dilated slightly, and cold sweat fell down the tip of her nose.

"Demon ......"

Suddenly, the whole safe room fell silent, and the noisy patients seemed to have lost the ability to make sounds, and only stared at the direction of nothingness with wide eyes.

The paramedics were startled by the sudden change, but then a low murmur rang out.

"Demon ......"

"Demon ......"

"Demon ......"

Everyone was whispering about the strange demon repeatedly, some were frightened, some were angry, and some had lost their minds and passed out.

Eve stared blankly at all this, and it was only then that she reacted.

These patients were no ordinary patients, they were all soldiers of the purification agency, and they were hospitalized in the Black Mountain Hospital due to the erosion of demons, some of them were cured and retired, and some of them went completely insane.

They have given everything to the purification mechanism, which is why they have been prioritized for protection.

But now a faint sanity seemed to have arisen from that madness, and the madmen had long sensed the mortal enemy, and had fallen back into the nightmare.

"The enemy is coming! soldiers!"

The long silence was shattered, and the old Cole, who was tied to the bed, roared sharply, and the soldier Gavin clenched his head and trembled violently as if he had seen some terrible nightmare.

......

Above the surface, the muzzles of guns continued to spew fireworks, reflecting the ironclad armor of the original sin, the rain pouring down on the cold armor, and the abominable demons reflected in the shining mirrors.

The sound of breathing mixed with the noisy sound of electricity echoed in the birdcage, and everyone did not expect this sudden change, even if some people vaguely expected it, but they never thought that it would happen so quickly.

The Blue Emerald and Swift who participated in the experiment both drew their weapons, and the rest were sent to other areas of the research area, where only the two of them could be considered combat-powered.

"It's time for Arthur to order. Merlin said.

In the previous plan, they had considered what to do if the Protestant Order attacked, but now Lawrence's remnants have also joined in, and the scale is very large, and the purpose is unknown, completely disrupting the preparation of the purification mechanism.

According to Arthur's previous prediction, fighting the demon hunters would not cause large-scale damage, as long as the birdcage was guarded, but now it was the disorderly demons, and no one knew where these damn things would come from and where they would be killed, but everyone knew that the demons had to die here, and no one would be left behind.

"It's time for us to evacuate, and if we get together, we'll only be decapitated in a centralized manner. ”

Merlin said again, he could see the power of Lorenzo, these witchers are extremely strong in solo combat, and at the moment these people are simply unable to resist a witcher who has awakened from the secret blood.

"To ...... Do you want to terminate the experiment?"

Abigail asked, she had never experienced this kind of battlefield firsthand, everything was new to her now, she didn't know what to do, she could only hand over the decision-making power to these battle-hardened guys.

After a brief silence, Arthur finally spoke.

"Merlin, Abigail, you two evacuate first, Blue Jade, Swift, you take them away and find a way to escape from the Black Mountain Hospital, I'll go and join Gawain and command the battle. ”

As the core scholars of the Purifier, Merlin and Abigail's lives are obviously more important than the soldiers, as long as they leave alive, the Purifier may continue to advance, and once they are killed, it will be a serious blow to the Purifier.

"No, Arthur, whoever comes, we are only their secondary targets, and their real target is Lorenzo...... Pseudo-Holy Grail. ”

Merlin vetoed Arthur's proposal.

"Lorenzo must evacuate here first, and once the other side knows that Lorenzo is not here, there is no need for them to continue attacking. ”

Arthur was silent, then picked up the communicator and asked.

"How's the battle? ”

After the piercing sound of electricity, Gawain's voice sounded, his voice sounding calm, and under the roar of the demon, it seemed extremely reliable.

Gawain was such a man, not so much a knight as a simple soldier, simply carrying out every order of his commander.

"It's still under control, the enemy is basically ordinary demons, although the number is huge, but with the current firepower we have a slight advantage, as long as this continues, we can completely annihilate the enemy. ”

This is rare good news, and the line of defense has not yet been broken up.

"What about Percival?"

"I'm approaching the research area, demons are blocking the way, and we're struggling to clear the way. ”

The roars of demons and gunfire came from the communicator, and Percival, who was not serious, was rare to be reliable at a critical moment, Arthur looked at the others and said.

"Merlin, you're right, but among the enemies, there are people who carry inferior secret blood, and our patients have been turned into demons by him, and here...... There are more patients in the intensive care area......"

"Do you think they're going to turn those people into demons?" Merlin asked. 52 Literature

"I'm just guessing that this would be the case, otherwise this attack would be ridiculous, wouldn't it? Gawain's firepower alone could contain it...... There must be something waiting for us, and the Protestant Order......"

"Most of the patients are in safe houses," Abigail said at this point, "and there shouldn't be any worries about them for the time being." ”

Hearing this, Arthur's eyes changed, becoming more and more gloomy and dark.

"No, never underestimate your enemies, especially those associated with Lawrence.

The sick are concentrated in safe houses, they are safe if the defenses are intact, but once they are breached, the patients have nowhere to escape, and those who are themselves victims of erosion, they are more likely to become demons and become our enemies...... Evacuate those patients, all evacuate. ”

Arthur said and looked at Abigail and Merlin.

"You too, evacuate together, there is no time to wait for Percival, I and the Blue Emerald Swift will assist you in evacuating, while the demons have not broken through Gawain's defenses. ”

"What about Lorenzo?"

Abigail couldn't understand why Arthur hadn't mentioned the witcher, when he might have been the main target.

"Lorenzo ......"

Hearing the name, Arthur couldn't help but recall what Lorenzo had said to him earlier.

Lorenzo hasn't lost yet...... So what does he want to do? What else can he do in this situation?

"No, don't worry about this witcher, just unshackle him and let him escape, he is the last thing to worry about, it's just a little impossible to contain him again...... We may never know what the false chalices are anymore. ”

If Arthur was Lorenzo, then he would have fled all the way, leaving Old Dunling, leaving Ingwig, and it would not be difficult for him to see all this with Lorenzo's abilities.

How, exactly?

"Wait...... Lorenzo!"

Merlin suddenly shouted, and everyone's eyes moved away, only to see that the flickering light had long since been extinguished, and Lorenzo seemed to be unconscious, his head hung down, and he was silent.

"Plans have changed, and it looks like we're going to have to evacuate with Lorenzo. ”

Merlin said as he picked up the data that had been printed out earlier, and then said to Arthur.

"Get moving! Arthur, Eve is also in the safe house, and as the last product of the Ranger program, she is invaluable. ”

"What about you?" asked Arthur.

"I've got to close the cage and drag Lorenzo out...... This damn machine is a hassle to start up and a hassle to shut down. ”

Merlin said to Arthur, shaking his hand vigorously, and with a crisp sound, a folding knife was held in his hand.

"Go ahead, Arthur, don't worry, in my day, swordsmanship was a must for alchemists. ”

His gaze then turned to the witcher in the birdcage, Merlin's voice was emotionless.

"And there are some things I want to talk to Lorenzo about. ”

......

There was something strange and familiar about it, as if I had fallen into the depths of the sea, enveloped in the cool and dark blue waters.

The sounds and vibrations of the announcements were muffled by the invisible ocean, and to Lorenzo they sounded like meaningless dreams.

As the machine starts, the initial pain fades away, and the world in Lorenzo's eyes continues to lose its light until it finally goes dark.

It seems that he has fallen into the deep depths of the sea, and everywhere there is untouchable darkness, endless darkness.

"Ah...... It's so dark......"

Lorenzo suddenly let out such an exclamation.

He was the only one left in the darkness, and the hellish chair, and in this long darkness, the human senses also became blurred, and it seemed like only a few minutes had passed, and it seemed like many years had passed.

Just as the darkness was about to return to eternity, a golden thread split the darkness from top to bottom, and the light made Lorenzo sober up a little, and he was a little curious, and got up and walked towards the light, and as Lorenzo approached, the light began to spread, becoming larger and larger.

No...... It was a slowly opening door, and the so-called light was constantly spilling through the cracks.

Lorenzo pushed open the dusty door and stepped into the light.

All the coldness and darkness were dispelled, and the warm sunlight shone on me, and I slowly raised my head, and behind the window was the incomparably blue sky.

He watched all this in a daze, and after a long time, a smile appeared on his stiff face.

Lorenzo hadn't seen such a beautiful sky for a long time, and he had almost forgotten what the normal world was like after living in the old Dunling for so long that the sky was forever gloomy.

Eyes wandered around the room, and when I observed, it was a cozy cabin, the room was not large, but everything it should be, and judging by the clothes stacked on the side, it was a boy's room.

Lorenzo was familiar with all this, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, and then there was a sound outside the door, hesitated for a moment, pushed the door open, and Lorenzo walked in the direction of the sound.

This is a mansion hidden in the mountains and forests, covered by the shade of trees, birds singing and fragrant flowers, it can be regarded as a fairyland on earth, in Lorenzo's opinion, this is really suitable for retirement and retreat, I don't know how many times stronger than the ghost place of the old Dunling.

But strangely enough, Lorenzo doesn't see anyone here, and the beauty is abrupt, like an exquisite dream.

He continued as he walked forward, his voice becoming clear to the sound of a swift swing of his sword.

It was a boy swinging a sword, Lorenzo looked at him from a distance, the boy had a seemingly cowardly face, but whenever the sword was drawn, the sword momentum was extremely fast, like falling thunder, and it was at this time that Lorenzo could slightly glimpse the ruthlessness in the boy's expression.

He didn't seem to be as cowardly as he seemed, on the contrary, he seemed to be a violent child, but he didn't realize it.

Everything seemed harmonious until the sudden sound of footsteps sounded from behind Lorenzo.

As if discovered by a monster, Lorenzo eerily lost all his strength and could not move, standing there like a sculpture until the voice approached him, and then crossed him.

It was an old man, who was walking slowly on crutches, time had left a scar on his face like a dry bark, and he seemed to be unable to see Lorenzo as if he were moving on, and the boy seemed to notice the old man's arrival, and he stopped swinging his sword and walked towards the old man.

"Good morning, sir. ”

He shouted as he waved.

Lorenzo Medici responded to the boy with a smile as much as he could.

"Good morning, 042. ”
