"The poor Baron Abel did not receive an invitation to the ball, but he bribed the guards and slipped in, and judging by his financial situation, he must have hoped to make some rich men at the ball, and to ease his debts with their brief friendship. ”

"Don't be surprised, there are many such aristocrats, they have not been able to keep up with the pace of the times, and they still rely on the accumulation of their parents, so they gradually die under the high taxes. ”

Arthur looked at the back that was fading away, and Baron Abel stared blankly ahead, the soul in it had been completely sealed.

"He was directly confronted by the demon, the intense erosion corrupted him, and when we found him, he had already entered the second stage, the whole person was crazy, very aggressive, and the erosion was still working on him, and the demonization was only a matter of time. ”

"So you used that ...... on him Anterior lobectomy surgery?"

Lorenzo asked with some vigilance, he didn't know exactly what this operation was, but seeing a Rao mind sink and turn into a corpse-like thing, the impact of this thing was not much less than the weirdness of a demon.

"Yes, the position is on the forehead. ”

Arthur pointed to his forehead, soft flesh beneath the solid bones.

"With a brain protein excision needle, starting from this position, the upper orbit of the eyeball, it is chiseled into the brain with an excision needle, which quickly destroys the nervous system and breaks the nerve fibers. ”

"This operation is very fast, and there is no need for an operating room, and the damaged nerves are responsible for processing high-level thinking, that is, after performing this operation, the human body no longer has the concepts of 'thinking' and 'thinking', if human beings have some kind of numerical slot for the erosion of demons, this operation is to cancel all the numerical slots. ”

"Just as the blind are not afraid of the bright light, so the person who has lost the concept of thinking will not suffer from the erosion of the pollution...... Even if he wasn't human anymore, he was just a breathing corpse. ”

Cruel and dark technology, Lorenzo can only peek into the evil corner from Arthur's words, and in order to prove the credibility of this operation, how many skulls have been opened and analyzed?

"This is the best solution at the moment, otherwise we have no other way than to completely eliminate people like Baron Abel who are about to be demonized. ”

"I can understand that. ”

Lorenzo said lightly, after the initial shock and fear, it was a helpless understanding, everyone is a traveler walking on the ice, in order to reach the ideal land, can only continue to give up the things on the body, so as not to step on the fragile ice.

Lose the emotional, the human, the moral...... Until there is nothing, until you reach the ideal land.

"Sometimes a lot of bad decisions lead to good results, and those sins are better for us to bear. ”

Arthur said softly, it was such a heavy thing, but it seemed to him to be light.

"And what about the others? What about the people inside your purification agency? Will they also undergo this surgery when they get out of control?"

Lorenzo asked again.

"Depending on the situation, usually every soldier will have an alarm on them, and when their siren is sounding, they should withdraw from the battlefield, and of course there will inevitably be those who go deep into it, but this kind of task is generally entrusted to the knights who have specialized to withstand more erosion. ”

"Correspondingly, we have corresponding cures, like this poor baron, he still has a glimmer of hope for survival, but his own worth is not worth it. ”

It's cold, everything is clearly priced, there is no sympathy, just machine-like precision

Lorenzo looked at Arthur and then at Joey behind him, they had already made such a decision.

"Mr. Holmes, this incident is clearly out of our control, and I don't think we need to be wary of each other, right? ”

Arthur glanced at Lorenzo deeply, the two did not understand, but as if they had a deep tacit understanding, they had already made a decision.

"Joey pushes quickly, Mr. Holmes has a lot to see today. ”

Urging Joey behind him, the wheelchair traveled a little faster, and Lorenzo could only endure the pain in his leg to keep up.

"What are you going to show me?"

"A lot, it's all about that Lawrence Imam. ”

Arthur said tiredly.

"He's left us with so much that if the demon's information could be revealed, that Imam Lawrence would be the biggest terrorist in the history of Invig after the Glorious War. ”

......

The air was filled with the smell of engine oil, the whole car shook slightly with the rumbling of the engine, the light shook with the swaying of the car, Lorenzo looked out the window, the eruption of steam moistened the walls, and the damp rock in the dim darkness quickly passed behind the car, and the scenery concentrated at the end as if there was no end.

At the moment they were speeding twenty meters underground in Old Dunling, the first time Lorenzo had taken the steam metro, which was part of the Atrium Serpent system, but only a small number of lines were open to the public.

Unlike the routes, which are open to the public, Lorenzo now travels on a hidden line that is not on the schedule, which runs through Old Dunling, where the tunnels were originally built for the construction of the Furnace Pillar System, with long railroad tracks that carry tons of earth out and hollow out the ground.

In later years, it became a maintenance tunnel, and finally it was transformed into a steam metro, with which Lorenzo was able to avoid the traffic congestion on the ground and reach depths that ordinary people could not reach.

"The Furnace Pillar system is quite complex, and even today, it continues to expand with the expansion of the old Dunling, as if it were alive. ”

Arthur sat in another gambling chair, the environment here was not very good, there was no excessive decoration, everything was rusty, a dilapidated industrial air.

As the carriage drove at high speed, in addition to the rumbling engine sound, there was also a strange sound of metal rubbing in my ears, and it seemed that the train would disintegrate at high speed in the next second.

"Because of the complexity and the fact that it's built underground, a lot of times we have to rely on these lines to get to places that we can't get to by conventional means. ”

"Maintenance lanes?"

Lorenzo leaned against the rusty wall and looked out the dimly lit window.

"That's right, that thing was originally a passage used by maintenance workers when it was built, and the intersection was secret, most people couldn't enter, and it would be locked after the construction or repair was completed. ”

"So what?"

"You'll find out when we get there. ”

Arthur waited for the carriage to stop.

The dark and deep underground is like driving in a dim and boundless Jedi, no matter which direction you go, it is a repetitive picture.

Maybe the world after death is the same, there is no brilliant light, there is no darkness that devours the mind, there is no hall and no hell, just a dim gray envelops everything, no matter how you struggle, you are only powerless to resist, until you sink and collapse in this gray, and lose the last reason.

In the dimness, eye-catching signs crossed the eye, with different numbers written on them, and there were rusty iron doors below, as if there were also residents underground, and behind the rusty iron doors were one apartment after another.

It's hard to imagine that the city of Old Dunling is so three-dimensional, and there are huge buildings in this deep underground, as if the whole city is turned upside down, like a shadow.

After a few minutes, the carriage slowly stopped, and the doors opened in the midst of a surge of steam.

The stale and humid air hit his face, Lorenzo couldn't help but cough a few times, more dust splashed, and under the light, broken particles flew and rippled.

"Bear with me, the ventilation system here hasn't been activated for a long time, and not all people come after all. ”

Joey pushed Arthur out of the car and continued, just as Lorenzo noticed the sound of a fan turning in the silence deep underground.

They worked hard to send fresh air into the depths of the earth, otherwise the three of them would have been unconscious from lack of oxygen.

"So what do you want me to see?"

Lorenzo asked.

"There's a lot of weirdness about Imam Lawrence's 'studio', and as his 'colleague' you might be able to explain it to us. ”

The dusty iron gate on the rock wall opened at this time, and the kestrel wore a miner's lamp on its head, and with the opening of the gate, the heavy blood and qi rushed in.

It was as if behind the door was a hell of flesh and blood, a slaughterhouse for living things.

"You're finally here, and I need a shift change. ”

The kestrel looked very ugly, and without saying hello, he walked to the other side and retched.

"Let's go, Mr. Holmes. ”

Arthur said slowly, he seemed to have seen what was behind the door, and he seemed calm.

Lorenzo didn't do much, he stepped into it very calmly, and then the red world revealed before his eyes.

Behind the door was like a creature lair, with viscous blood on the floor and walls, human skeletons and severed limbs everywhere, and several operating tables with corpses long since shriveled up.

An inexplicable vomit rose from the depths of Lorenzo's throat, as if someone had grabbed his stomach and screwed it tightly, followed by a rush of nameless emotions that interfered with every part of his nerves.

"There were demons here?"

Lorenzo's voice was a little painful, and Joey on the other side was uncomfortable, and he took two steps before stepping back and handing the wheelchair to Lorenzo's hand

"Yes, the demon, the demon is very powerful, so powerful that just staying here will bring high-intensity erosion. ”

Arthur also looked extremely distressed, but as a product of the Ranger program, he was much more resistant to erosion than Joey.

"We found it and cleaned it with tons of neutralizer to try to mitigate the erosion, but with little success. ”

"Go inside Lorenzo, that's not all. ”

Stepping on the sticky ground, countless silk threads on the soles of their shoes, and blood from their stumps everywhere, the two of them seemed to be in the stomach of some giant monster, digested by it over time.

The strange voice whispered in his ear, which reminded Lorenzo of the monks at the exhibition, who also muttered a language that Lorenzo did not understand, but at this moment it felt as if at that moment, there was a presence that ordinary people could not understand through the monk's mouth.

Inside was a passage through which countless footprints could be seen on the sticky ground, which had already been surveyed by the Purifiers.

"Exactly...... What's going on?"

Lorenzo's heart was already trembling slightly, he had never seen such a scene, not even when he was in the Demon Hunting Order.

"A breeding ground, a cultivation ground for demons, presumably those demons are born here. ”

At the end of the passage was a high platform, with complex steam pipes all over the horizon, and at the bottom of it was a roaring machine, but that wasn't the point, the point was the scarlet that enveloped everything, like some kind of giant spider's nest.

Red sticky threads were everywhere, broken white hard was scattered all over the ground, and there was something intact and structurally similar to an egg, the sturdy hard exterior had been opened, and it was filled with the same viscous liquid, and among it was a long-dead corpse, the clothes on which had not yet been completely dissolved, and judging by the outfit, it was an ordinary worker.

But this is only the corner, such white wreckage spreads all over the surface of the rain, stretching all the way to the end of the field of vision.

"This ...... It's ......"

Lorenzo was shocked like he had never felt before, he didn't need Arthur anymore, he knew it at the first sight

"He's ...... Raise demons. ”

Arthur nodded.

"And the breeding technology seems to be very mature, when we captured the dungeon before, we found a similar breeding farm in the dungeon, but the scale is far less than here. ”

"Yes...... What about your peeps? How can you not detect a reaction at this scale?"

"That's why. ”

Arthur gestured to the walls around him.

"Mr. Holmes, did you know that the Holy Silver can keep the demons at bay?"

"What?"

Lorenzo was puzzled, he only knew that the Holy Silver was lethal to demons, but he never knew this.

"It doesn't seem clear to you, but this is the conclusion of the Perpetual Pump, they dissected the witcher. ”

Arthur said slowly, it seems that the Demon Hunter Order is also hiding a lot of things from the Demon Hunters.

"You're Ed?"

Lorenzo's gaze became dangerous, this clear removal mechanism had already obtained secret blood to a certain extent.

"We have come to the conclusion that we have conducted many experiments on the corpse of that demon hunter, and that the Holy Silver can block the spread of erosion to a certain extent. ”

Arthur didn't care about Lorenzo's feelings, and said directly.

"Imam Lawrence is clearly aware of this, and in order to prevent the erosion from spreading, he has plated the entire cultivation field with a layer of holy silver, and it was not until we increased the sensitivity of the Geiger Technique that we discovered the anomaly here. ”

"This can't be, there aren't that many holy silvers for him to use!"

Lorenzo directly retorted that Holy Silver had always been scarce, and that after so long since the Order was disbanded, Imam Lawrence had not been replenished at all.

Wrong......

"Apocalypse", yes, and this, if Imam Lawrence stole the "Apocalypse" then he should also have the technology to make holy silver, but such a large-scale holy silver, even with the whole country as a logistics at that time, the Order's holy silver production was still terrible low, so how did he do it alone?

Or is he not alone...... Even if Imam Lawrence had the skills to make holy silver, it was not something that could be done by one person, and he had a large team behind him.

"Don't hide it, let's all come out at once. ”

Lorenzo's gaze was cold, a huge team, the legacy of the night of Presence was a thousand times more complicated than what he saw.
