Chapter 5 Safe House
Like a roaring thunderbolt falling into a silent city, the serene sacredness was shattered in an instant, everyone's expressions became distorted and frightened, and at the same time, under this instantaneous erosion, their flesh and blood bodies gradually deformed, as if it could no longer maintain human form, and began to crumble.
This is a counterattack from Watson, probably Aderen didn't expect Watson to have the courage to resist him after seeing the gap in strength, and this attack allowed Watson to take the lead.
The clash of wills was ignited, and Watson attacked along his eroded path, slamming into Adelon's [gap].
She tried her best, but after a brief pause, she only felt that all her strength was poured into the iron wall, and it was all in vain, only the [gap] that could shake Aderen slightly.
Blood spilled from the corner of Adelon's eye, and the blow didn't hurt him, but it did have a slight effect.
Watson gasped violently, frightened by what he had just done.
At the moment of attacking Adron, Watson and Adren's [gap] were extremely close, and under the iron-like defense, Watson felt the fierceness and violence from behind the iron wall, which was an ominous aura, as if this iron wall was not a defense, but a cage, firmly binding the dark will behind it.
"You...... What exactly is it. β
Watson gritted his teeth and looked solemn.
This counterattack was not just to repel Adelon, but more to test him, to see if there was a chance to find his weakness, and it was clear that Watson didn't find it, and not only that, but it seemed to anger him.
Aderen is different from all the enemies Watson has encountered before, the entity is just a carrier for him to carry the will, the real battlefield is the void [gap], his appearance directly broke Watson's conventional perception of battle, even if he has a sword in his hand, it is not of the slightest use.
Adelon's expression gradually became hideous, he seemed calm and indifferent, but Watson could vaguely detect it? Like the violent breath behind the iron wall? All this is just a faΓ§ade of Adelen, a slender intellect barely binding his nature? lest he make more crazy moves.
So...... All means are exhausted.
Under Adelon's watchful eye? Watson smiled indifferently, and the next moment the flesh and blood collapsed? Blood gushed out of his sunken scarlet eyes, and a senseless whimper came out of his throat? Bones become brittle? The muscles attached to it snapped with ease, and finally collapsed, crumbling into a blur of flesh.
Hua died...... No, not yet.
Aderen found that the will no longer existed in this flesh and blood? In the end, Watson still chose to run away? But it's just useless, Watson has exhausted her springboard, and now she needs to erode the target first if she wants to leave, she and Adlon are back at the same starting line, but obviously? She couldn't outrun Adelon.
Aderen closes his eyes, erosion is like waves on the sea? Swiftly skimming across the land, searching for Watson's location? But this time the waves didn't bring any response, only the silence that couldn't bear to be disturbed.
Watson is gone.
......
Where are the seven hills? Country.
Above the messy and barren countryside? A wooden house built next to a towering tree? It looks like it's been around for a while, with vines crawling on the walls and damp moss on the stairs.
The man was lying on the bed in the house, he had been suffering from insomnia for several days, and he still couldn't sleep, and he thought that this was probably the reason for the bed.
He was a Templar under the new Pope, and now he was on a top-secret mission...... Well, he didn't know exactly what this top-secret mission was, anyway, his records were erased from the official list, and only the new pope knew about his existence, and all he had to do was live well in this cabin.
The man couldn't figure out what the mission meant, and the only clue he could guess was the cellar under the wooden house, which was full of emergency food, medical supplies, and some weapons, and looked like a safe house, but he couldn't figure out what kind of safe house was worth the trouble of protecting.
Or is it ...... Does this just look like a safe house? is actually a secret room used by the new pope to entertain his mistress?
He thought so, and laughed, though in awe of the new Pope, everyone had privately guessed more than once what the face would be like behind the mask.
The man felt a little sleepy, he was about to sleep, his eyelids slowly closed, and then the man's body stiffened.
He vaguely sensed something, as if a pair of cold hands were gently brushing his body, and as if an invisible tide was engulfing him, it was so cold that it froze him in an instant, and the soft flesh became as strong as iron, locking the bones firmly, unable to react.
The man opened suddenly, a faint light rising in the darkness.
Watson quickly rolled down on the bed, she was too nervous to breathe, and according to the information in her memory, she lifted the baffle of the cellar with all her might, jumped straight in, and slammed it to the ground, making a painful sound under her knees.
With no time left to feel the pain and wail, Watson struggled to crawl to the corner of the cellar, she held her breath, and completely suppressed her strength, and the spark in her eyes was so dim that it almost seemed to be gone.
A great shadow hung over Watson.
The invisible erosion came together, and they pushed frantically like a tsunami on the surface of the sea, nothing could stop them, and the hounds searched for Watson's tracks.
Walking between the fissures, like a flood of bursting banks, Watson could hear cumbersome auditory hallucinations, countless footsteps hurrying over his head, searching around, but finding no trace of Watson.
Watson breathed low, and next to the dark, damp wall, she raised her hand to clasp open the damp skin, revealing the shiny silver metal beneath it.
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty. β
The massive pressure was gone, and Watson couldn't help but let out a long breath, then gasped in pain.
It was indeed a safe house, and it was indeed prepared for himself by the new pope, but it was used as a guard against the silent ones, and after knowing that the holy silver could block the invasion of the will, the new pope knew that he could not stay in the temple of stagnation all the time, praying for the protection of the well of ascension, so he set up such safe houses in the areas where he might be attacked.
The location of the safe house was still told to Watson by the new pope before leaving, after all, Watson did not have the Well of Ascension as a barrier, and it was not clear whether all this was out of partnership or past friendship, but at least this time the information saved Watson's life.
Watson flipped through the box from memory, pushed away the food and medical supplies, and there was a hidden compartment at the bottom of the box, which opened to reveal a silver headdress, like a crown.
This is a laurel wreath forged by Holy Silver, which Watson wears on his head, and it can be seen from the effect of this safe house that although Aderen is very strong, the nature of Holy Silver shielding will also work for him, and this thing may be able to withstand several Adelen's attacks.
After doing all this, Watson paused for a moment, presumably to calm his agitation, and then picked up medical supplies to bandage his injured knee.
Now she doesn't dare to use a trace of strength, maybe she will attract Adelon's attention, she is the first target to be eliminated, and he will definitely not let her go.
But it's also a good thing, Adelon's attention won't be diverted until he settles himself, and Lorenzo may be spared.
Of course, blindly escaping is not the solution, Watson thought for a while, and after confirming that it was safe, he opened the weapon rack on the side, took out a nail sword from it, and then slashed at the wall, destroying the safe house.
After simply collecting the silver inside and putting it in her pocket, she climbed out of the cellar and pushed open the door, revealing the endless wilderness in front of her.
Now Watson didn't dare to use the slightest strength, not even the Holy Silver Laurel on his head, maybe in an instant Aderen would descend on him and destroy himself.
The operation was a success, as Watson not only tested Adelon's strength, but also gained more useful information that she needed to share with Lorenzo...... It may be a bigger crisis, but she knows very well that neither she nor Lorenzo wants to be a comfortable lamb in that fence.
The quickest [gap] shuttle is no longer available, so it seems that there is only one way left.
Watson looked in Invig's direction and saw that everything had returned to square one.
"I hope Lorenzo will see the message I left behind. β
She spoke, and then cursed again, it was so far away from Invig that she reluctantly walked up and returned to the Sanctuary of Stasis......
Watson was skeptical that the new pope was now alive or dead.
But the current situation is still good, as Watson and the others advance, those guys can no longer hide in the dark, they are left with only two choices, wait for Watson and the others to find the truth of all this, or kill them all.
......
The night was dark, and the footsteps sounded in the silence, and the man stepped through the stagnant water in his slippers, looking up at a pair of hairy thighs, then a pair of shorts, wearing long pajamas on his upper body, and a funny nightcap on his head, the whole person looked like a homeless man who had just crawled out of the garbage heap.
Although the homeless man looked embarrassed, he had a soaring murderous aura on his body, and those who didn't know thought that this guy was outrageously angry when he got up.
Holding the nail sword in one hand and dragging Winchester in the other, his eyes like a torch, he finally stopped at the end of the alley, sniffing the familiar blood in the air, and Lorenzo felt a little uneasy.
It all started a few minutes ago, Lorenzo was sleeping soundly, but suddenly he felt a disgusting malice in his sleep, as a witcher Lorenzo knew very well what it was, and years of training had made him almost perverted alert.
He woke up in his dream almost instantly, then picked up his weapon, searched for the demon's location, and finally stopped there.
The night breeze blew through the shadows of the alley, bringing with it the warm smell of blood, and Lorenzo walked slowly into it, where there were still a few corpses on the ground, as well as a few demons that were not yet dead, their flesh and blood as if they had suffered some blow, and even the deformed body could no longer support it, and it continued to crumble.
Lorenzo couldn't help but cover his nose, the demons were still whimpering, as their bodies collapsed, their airways were completely squeezed, not to mention making sounds, even breathing was an extremely painful thing.
Without much trauma, this collapse is something that occurs inside the body, a force that Lorenzo doesn't know very well......
Lorenzo thought so, and suddenly a memory flashed before his eyes.
The flaming demon that had been named Horner.
Lorenzo once unconsciously triggered the [Gap] invasion, and he destroyed Horner's [Gap] in this way, killing the demon, and the demon's death was somewhat similar to these, and it began to collapse and collapse from the inside.
"What's going on?"
Lorenzo looked at the scene suspiciously, his hand gently caressing the wall, the traces of the battle were still fresh, as if the battle had just ended a few minutes ago, and he was just a step late.
So who is here to fight the demons? Judging by the broken scratches on the walls, this is not caused by the blade, the marks caused by the blade will be finer and smoother than this, and there are no wounds left by the blade or bullets on the demon's body.
Where did the guy who fought with the demon go now? Lorenzo didn't hear any sound of running away all the way, and judging from the scene, he couldn't find any trace of the second person, and even said that the second person was one of the demons.
The two demons are fighting here? Will the demons also fight among themselves?
Lorenzo was even more confused, wondering if he should invade the demons in the intervals, and perhaps he could find some answer in their cloudy consciousness.
He hesitated.
After facing Lawrence, for some reason, Lorenzo always had an inexplicable fear of invading others, whether it was a human or a demon, he didn't want to do it.
In Irene's [Gap], she shared memories with herself to prove her trustworthiness, but Lorenzo also experienced all her experiences and emotions, countless memories and emotions, and strong emotions almost made Lorenzo lose himself, and for a moment he felt that he was Erin......
The same is true of Lawrence, who felt great fear when Lawrence revealed to him the prophecy of the end times, as if a black ocean had swallowed him up completely, and he could not see a single light.
In retrospect, Lorenzo couldn't tell whether the intense fear had come from himself, or whether it was in his memory and Lawrence's emotions when he knew the prophecy.
He couldn't think clearly.
At this moment's hesitation, Lorenzo saw something, his eyes became solemn, he crouched down, and saw a line of words written in blood in a pool of blood, the words were very short and sloppy, and it seemed that the situation of the person who wrote it was very critical...... Like confronting demons, or something more terrifying.
"Don't use Gabriel, it will find ......"
Lorenzo slowly read out the vague handwriting, which was so strange that Lorenzo had to think vigilantly, and then he noticed that there were numbers in the corners of the handwriting.
β042γ β
Lorenzo's expression froze, he knew very well that there was anyone else in the world who knew the meaning of this number, and he also knew who left this sentence for him.
"What's going on? Watson. β
Lorenzo looked at the mess in this place, he thought about what happened, and said worriedly.
"Who is 'it'?"
