Chapter 47: Melting
The scavengers had arrived, dressed in heavy isolation suits, with heavy breathing coming from under their gas masks, busily busily, for no specialized reason, rotating every few minutes, sometimes sirens sounding and someone else would carry the unconscious person out.
There was a faint mist, which was the atomized neutralizing liquid, although it was powerless to fight the strange erosion, but at least it was a little reassuring.
Ordinary humans are so powerless against erosion, but even so, humans still have a narrow advantage in the war against demons.
From time to time, the screams of monsters rang out, some of the eggs had not yet hatched, and the scavengers violently opened the hard layer and dragged out the slime-wrapped demons, they were like incomplete fetuses, their bodies were deformed, curled up together, and their strange bodies had human features, just like creatures that had not fully evolved.
The thermite rifle ignited, and the soldiers stood on the other side to watch for these, putting these demons in an iron cage one by one, the perpetual motion pump had not found the demons in such an egg, they needed some samples.
The so-called moving mouth at the top, running and breaking a leg below is probably like this.
The white-clad scholars dissect demons in secure labs, and these hapless kids have to catch them in the midst of erosion.
"It's on fire here?"
Lorenzo smelled a hint of ash.
"There is a strange plant, it looks like a demon, but the form is like a herbaceous plant, we found it when we attacked the dungeon before, but we didn't expect it to be here. ”
Arthur replied.
"It's stomach chewing grass, and Sheikh Lawrence's breeding skills are a bit unusual. ”
Lorenzo could imagine what it was when he heard Arthur's description, but fortunately he found it in time, otherwise the stomach grass would have spread and would be much more troublesome than a normal demon.
"Mr. Holmes, what we really don't understand is this. ”
Arthur glanced at Lorenzo and pointed further ahead.
"According to the Geiger counter, this is the source of pollution in the entire breeding farm, where the erosion is most intense. ”
Arthur looked at the shattered eggs, and in the middle of its arrangement lay an altar-like furnace, covered with ashes, and the furnace had long since cooled, but there was still a little metal left.
"It's ......"
Lorenzo could clearly feel the intense erosion, coming from the furnace, so strong that it seemed to be the center of a vortex, pulling all the people around him into the deep darkness.
"I don't know what it is, but I can see that the metal left in the furnace is suspected to be Holy Silver...... Imam Lawrence may have used it to forge holy silver, but as a metal that destroys demons, how could it carry such a strong erosion?"
This is something Arthur doesn't understand, it stands to reason that holy silver and demons are basically incompatible, but it just appeared in the same place so strangely, and the holy metal carried a huge amount of erosion.
Lorenzo didn't speak, but walked up to the pressure, the furnace was too deadly for them, and the scavengers set up a cordon to warn the other workers.
Arthur didn't know why, but Lorenzo knew all this, and he also had the silver bolt made of holy silver in his body, which was the last insurance to block the secret blood.
As Lorenzo approached, the hallucinations became more and more serious, and it was hard to imagine what kind of existence the demons who had stayed here would be, even the witchers could not resist them, and the whole world began to twist and crack, with psychedelic music, but suddenly at a certain moment all the sounds disappeared, and the world became familiar again, and then Watson stood at the other end of the furnace.
"This thing is dangerous. ”
Watson crouched on the edge of the furnace and looked inside, the silver frozen at the bottom, glowing faintly.
Lorenzo had a strange feeling that the pressure had suddenly disappeared, or that the pressure had reached a level that Lorenzo couldn't perceive.
"Imam Lawrence really has the skill to forge holy silver......"
Lorenzo reluctantly stood on the edge of the furnace, looking at the silver solidifying at the bottom.
"No...... No, Lorenzo, think about it with your clever head. ”
Watson directly repudiated Lorenzo's words, and then she walked over, and gently put her hand on Lorenzo's chest.
"Tie all the stories together, you don't really think that Holy Silver is so easy to. ”
Lorenzo stared into the illusory eyes, and for a moment he lost his mind.
"Is this a gift from the devil?"
"I was human, Lorenzo, we were so good friends, didn't we?
"No, you're dead, Watson, you're just the skin of some demon now. ”
Watson's appearance was reflected in the gray-blue pupils, she was long dead, and Lorenzo was a little scary with reason.
"How do you judge a form of life? I'm dead, but my spirit lives on? Is this death? My ** was burned, but I'm still alive in your mind, in your memories, and even that I'm just a hallucination of your imagination, isn't it?"
Watson smiled, with an evil epilogue.
"Am I or part of your split personality?"
"Lorenzo, you don't understand my existence, if you can figure it out, you won't be so confused, and of course the old immortals of the Evangelical Church won't be so crazy. ”
Watson turned his head to look at the bottom of the furnace, his voice growing cold.
"Lorenzo, I am the fault of the Church, you opened Pandora's box, you see me as a so-called Holy Grail, but in reality I am just a false Holy Grail, am I?"
As if something had been touched, Lorenzo's gaze became dangerous, and he looked at the bottom of the furnace, and then at Watson, his voice trembling slightly.
"It's ......"
"That's right, you guessed it. ”
Watson looked at Lorenzo appreciatively.
"The detective is not in vain, he is much smarter than before. ”
"At the end of the day, Class Containment refers to demons that are extremely aggressive and extremely difficult to kill, and have long been referred to as natural disasters by the Evangelical Church. ”
"But then the evangelical church found a way to kill the scourge, didn't it?"
Watson whispered.
"It's like the anterior frontal lobectomy, as long as all possibility of transmission is eliminated, they are sealed forever. ”
"This is the last scourge, the last demon, the only grail, Mr. Lorenzo Holmes. ”
"I'm just a fake, and they're about to crawl out of the forgotten grave. ”
The voice was like a reverberating song, and the next moment everything in sight was gone, and after the remnants of the cracks was a new picture, Lorenzo standing behind Arthur's wheelchair, the yellow cordon separating him from the furnace.
Nameless cold sweat dripped from the tip of Lorenzo's nose, and he slowly released the handlebar, clenching his fists tightly.
Everything was a hallucination, and from the moment he saw the furnace, he was in Watson's hallucination, and the words echoed in his ears like a spell, disturbing Lorenzo's mind.
"You look unwell, Mr. Holmes. ”
Arthur asked with concern, even the witchers would be uneasy in the face of this erosion.
"I think I know why. ”
Lorenzo replied suddenly, with exhaustion in his voice, and Watson said that he had guessed correctly, and that everything would be true along this line of thought, but the result of the establishment was chilling.
"I don't think it was minted by Imam Lawrence, I should have thought of it first, after all, he was carrying the holy silver that the Evangelical Church had accumulated over hundreds of years, and it wouldn't be much if it was used to disguise it. ”
Lorenzo looked up at the vast incubator, where Imam Lawrence had placed the Holy Silver at key points in the terrain, acting as a protective shield to lock in the effects of erosion and minimize contamination of the outside world, so as to evade the search of the purification agency.
"What do you mean?"
Arthur sensed a slight uneasiness.
"Arthur, remember the Sacred Coffin? That thing is a level containment object, in the church, what can be given this name is the kind of extremely polluting demons, they are difficult to kill, but they can be controlled and contained, for hundreds of years, the church has contained many of these ghosts, and then sealed them one by one. ”
"What do you mean ......"
The inexplicable cold consumed him, and Arthur fidgeted a little, as if some huge secret was only one step away from him.
"The Holy Coffin, forged entirely of Holy Silver, contains the last demon, the only Church-level containment that has not been properly handled, and which we have given it the code name of the Holy Grail internally, and it is the one that gave rise to the Night of Advention. ”
Lorenzo walked slowly, looking at the bottom of the furnace that had appeared in the hallucination, the darkness and silver white, as if the deepest pit bottom, in the abyss, there were countless hands stretched out, trying to escape, trying to pull more people to fall together.
I can already imagine the abomination scene, the flames boiling and burning, melting the sacred coffin in this furnace little by little, the holy words and reliefs gradually crumbling under the heat, the bleak white metal gradually withering, and finally the speechless body is slowly revealed, twisting and struggling, embracing this long-lost world.
"Imam Lawrence melted down the coffin of the Holy Spirit, and he released the ghost inside......"
Lorenzo's voice was a little ethereal, there was a viscous touch, and in the illusion of the fireworks, the shriveled hand took a touch of metal solution, and then leaned on the furnace wall, crawling out little by little, stretching his body in the fireworks.
So what exactly do you want to do?
Once a demon hunter, he now unleashes the most hated demons.
