The blazing fires were blazing and rushing through the narrow corridors, and the emergency lights were on, guiding the way in the chaos, but now the lights of hope seemed so weak that such instructions were of no use to these people.

People are already in hell, and no matter which way they run, they are just going back and forth in hell, like trapped beasts, roaring and roaring weakly, and finally dying of exhaustion.

But Eve didn't want to die like this, so she reached for her leg ring, took out the lancet she had secretly hidden, and hid it under her wrist.

Now she is in a not safe safe house, the already cramped room is now crowded with patients, most of them have been injected with tranquilizers by medical staff to sleep, some really have no medicine to continue injecting, these medical staff show a violent side, some are physically stunned, some are gambling, and can only whimper quietly.

Although the overhead light was dim enough for Eve to see the expressions of the others, she could feel that the atmosphere in the cramped space had become dull, mixed with fear and tension.

The sound of slow, heavy breathing echoed slightly, and then in the long silence there was an even more terrifying sound, sounding like something sharp rubbing against the ground, making a piercing screech, and it was so clear in the silence that the firelight illuminated the shadows of the strange things so fiercely, like a monster coming out of a nightmare.

Eve leaned against the wall, suppressing her breath as much as she could, and she could feel the sticky eeriness, like a man dragging a heavy sarcoma along, leaving a trail of bright red blood behind her.

It's a demon, and she's only separated from it by a wall.

Ten minutes ago, when the alarm went off and everyone took refuge in the safe house, the nightmare began, the roaring explosions shook the ground, and the sound of fierce fighting resounded all around, until it was calm again, obviously not for long, but it was a nightmare for everyone.

Whether it was Eve or the medical staff, everyone knew exactly what was going on, and what the sound of the fight was meaning when it faded away.

The strange feeling of depression in my heart has not yet disappeared, and the demon still hovers around the safe house, longing for fresh blood and flesh.

The soldiers who fought it were unsure whether they were dead or evacuated, and now it was an isolated island, with only a few soldiers in the safe house, and judging by their expressions, their will was now swept away by the storm.

This is the terrible thing about demons, steel and armor cannot shelter everyone, and these solid walls are as fragile as cardboard in the face of terrible erosion...... No, it's not even as good as tissue paper, this safe house is a cage at the moment, and if you continue to stay here, you will only be affected by the erosion of demons, but leaving here to face demons is just a death in terms of current firepower.

It's so sad, and for everyone, the anxiety of repeated thinking adds to the effects of this erosion.

Breathing was slightly short, the temperature in the room became hotter and hotter, Eve's forehead was already covered with sweat, and her long fiery red hair was sticking to her skin, like a small animal drenched in heavy rain, extremely embarrassed.

"Yo, Admiral Eve, you're in good shape!"

The hell's voice sounded from the side, and in the dim darkness a somewhat smelly fellow approached him, only to see old Cole show his sweaty cheeks and show his white teeth at Eve.

"What's going on with you?"

Looking behind Cole Sr., Gavin and Delenn were also squatting in the corner with him, Gavin was still a little wooden, his hands gently caressing the metal floor from time to time...... This guy won't be here and still wants to dig trenches, right?

Deren was still trying to maintain his elegance, picking up the corner of his coat to wipe the sweat, but in this case, his elegance looked extremely funny.

Eve felt a little terrible for a while, this is simply adding fuel to the fire, and isn't it that these neuropathies are tied up?

Old Cole seemed to know what Eve wanted to ask, and he pointed to the back, and saw that the iron bed stretchers and other things were piled together, like a small fortress, and the soldiers with weapons hid behind it, and if the demons broke through the gate, with this simple way of fortification, probably ...... How many more seconds can you last?

Eve didn't even know whether she should sigh that she would die at this wonderful age, or if she would go completely insane to escape the torment of the moment.

She looked at old Cole leaning over, and for a moment she was a little envious of these neurosis, in their opinion, the current despair was just a special game, and Eve sometimes wanted to be like them, just treating it all as a ridiculous game, and after the game, she would wake up in the white bed.

Unfortunately, Eve can't do it, she's so sensible, so sensible that she can't lie to herself.

"We've got to figure it out. ”

The voice sounded, and the robin came from the darkness, he was in charge of the evacuation of the patients, but as soon as he entered the safe house, the alarm went off, and he was ordered to stay and protect the patients, but it was clear that everything was out of control.

"What's going on?" asked Eve.

"What else could it be, the demon invasion, but this time it's a little strange, even terrifying, there is a defense line on the surface led by the troops led by Gawain, and at the same time, Percival is also quickly returning to protect the scientific research area, but the demon still arrived here, so quickly...... You must know that we have invested a lot of original sin armor, and even if the Protestant Order attacks, it is impossible to cause the scientific research area to fall so quickly. ”

I don't know if it was nervous or stuffy, more sweat flooded the robin's cheeks, due to the effect of erosion, there was only the noisy sound of electricity in the communicator, the only contact with the outside world was cut off, and everything was up to me.

"How...... Probably ......"

Eve was also a little dazed, so it seemed that there was no hope at all, she looked around nervously, under the dim light, behind the transparent goggles were a pair of eyes full of fear, maybe before the demon broke through the door, the inside would be bloody.

"You can feel it, right? You have to be more sensitive to demons than we are. Robin said to Eve, "You and I are probably the only ones who can resist the demons here." ”

"Am I more perceptive?"

Eve listened to the robin's words, and couldn't help but think of the various abnormalities in her body before, what the hell Captain Invig, she wanted to continue to ask, ask the robin if he knew anything, but now the situation is obviously not suitable to talk about this.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, do you have any ideas?"

Eve said and showed the lancet in her hand, although the weapon was small, but under her wild temperament, it became extremely dangerous.

Robin was stunned, a little confused about what was going on with this girl, but there was no time to think about it.

"If you continue to stay here, the erosion of demons will sooner or later drag these patients into madness, and these patients are a group of crazy people, who have more or less suffered the effects of erosion, and they may be more easily alienated into demons than normal people. ”

"In other words, if we continue, will this group of guys turn into demons and kill us in the first place?"

Eve said and glanced at the patients on the side, these guys were completely unaware of the fear, but judging from the other patients who were gradually becoming irritable, the effect was indeed there, and it was constantly intensifying.

"It's unclear what happened, but the demons did arrive in the research area, and at worst, the ground forces were wiped out, or they were all on their own. Robin said.

"And how are you going to save yourself?" asked Eve.

"We can't kill a few of us, this is Safe House No. 2, at the end of the corridor is Safe House No. 3, judging from the previous voice, the door of Safe House No. 3 is not open, if we can, we have to meet the people of Safe House No. 3, I remember that Kestrel is in charge there. ”

Robin plans what comes next.

"And what about these patients, leaving them here?" asked Eve.

These patients will certainly not cooperate, but if they are left here, if the demons continue to wander around, they will most likely turn into demons.

"If I could, I'd kill them all, staying here would only turn them into demons. The robin said mercilessly.

This answer obviously shocked Eve, but it was even more shocking to follow.

"But forget it this time, if you kill them all here, it's just a few of us, not to mention wasting physical strength and ammunition, it may also cause a counterattack......" Robin's gaze fell on the nervous medical staff, "Those white coats, although they often dissect creatures, they have never seen a real slaughterhouse, in this case, in this small space...... Killing only increases their psychological stress. ”

"And what are you going to do?" Eve felt a little uneasy.

"Let them out. Robin replied.

"Let it go?"

"Yes, let it out, we don't know what the situation is out there right now, and we don't know how many demons are nearby...... After all, we are superior knights, and you, Eve, we are just a little stronger, more courageous, and less likely to die than ordinary people.

It is difficult for us to fight the demons alone, and only by uniting and converging into a torrent of steel can we fight against despair, and with the current weapons, it is a miracle that we can escape. ”

As he spoke, the robin picked up the weapon in his hand, an unlit thermite rifle, which could effectively kill demons, but no one knew how many demons there were.

"Get these patients out and use them to attract the attention of the demons and buy us time. ”

Eve froze, she turned her head stiffly, looked at the cheerful neurotics, and then at the serious-looking robin, who was about to say something, but was interrupted by the robin's seriousness.

"Don't say anything cruel and ruthless, we are fighting against demons, against despair, but unfortunately, we are not witchers, and we don't have that powerful armor of original sin, all we can do is give up something to get through the ice floe that is as thin as a cicada's wings. ”

The robin said and waved to the soldiers behind him, it seemed that he had already made plans, and now he was just here to inform Eve.

"Eve, I've often heard Arthur mention you that you always want to know what your anomaly is all about, and he's very confused about it...... In fact, he cares too much about you, afraid that you will be affected by any so-called impact, and he will be isolated from you by any wind and rain. ”

In the dimness, several thermite rifles ignited, emitting a blazing temperature, and the faint light reflected the frightened or serious faces.

"Do you think you really know about demons? Do you really think they're just terrible monsters? In fact, Lorenzo hurt you, that neurotic is too strong, with him as a companion, even if a group of demons kill him, as long as he ignites the secret blood, the situation is firmly controlled, and now that Lorenzo is gone, you are now facing a real battlefield, we are cleaning the battlefield of organs and demons, cruel and ruthless, everyone may die. ”

“......”

Eve was silent, suffocating silence.

She wanted to find a more suitable plan to get out of the current predicament, but she couldn't think of it, as if this cruel plan was the only hope.

Countless emotions were suppressed in Eve's mind, she looked at those happy neurosis, they were still smiling and saying something, Eve wanted to say to them, you are going to die, but after saying it, can they understand what "death" is?

It was a hard feeling, and although life in the Black Mountain Hospital was not easy, it was a real joy to sing and dance with these psychopaths, and this joy was about to be shattered.

The light of the burning fire lit up the robin's face, and he didn't waver in the slightest, as if he was used to making such a decision.

So what about Arthur, who has a higher knight, and has he made a more difficult choice?

Eve suddenly seemed to understand Arthur, but she didn't know if she would have a chance to talk to him about it.

"Can you give me a few minutes?" asked Eve.

Although it was not clear what Eve was going to do, the robin nodded and agreed to her actions.

Eve turned, and then pulled old Cole up, dragging the joyful neurotics over.

"Hey, we're going to play a game...... No, fight!"

Hearing the battle, Old Cole's eyes lit up, as a five-star general, he was too eager to return to the front line.

"What's the matter! Commander Eve!"

There are more and more strange positions, but in this hellish situation, Eve actually wants to laugh, but then there is even greater sadness.

"What, is the battle getting worse?"

The faint light of the fire illuminated Eve's somewhat sad face, and she was drenched in sweat, as if she had fallen into a puddle and struggled to get up.

"No...... That's right, we're surrounded by enemy troops, and if we continue to stay here, we'll only be wiped out, but now there's a new escape plan, and I'll call it 'Catching Ghosts', and after a while the gate opens, everyone will run hard, run anywhere, just run farther, find a place where no one is around, and be careful of being caught by those ghosts, clear?"

"Catching ghosts, it's too naïve, it's not good at all......" Before Delenn could finish speaking, Eve's voice was muffled.

"This guy Delenn is a spy and a war criminal! Take him with you and find a way to send him back to Old Dunling so that he can be tried by a court-martial!"

As soon as Eve gave the order, Gavin detained Delenn and refused to let go no matter how much he called.

"So that's it, as soon as the gate opens, everyone has to try to escape so as not to be caught by the ghosts. ”

The neurotics nodded, still so happy, as if it was really just a game, an illusory battle.

"Are you trying to make yourself feel better? They can't survive. "The robin heard some childish words.

"There's always a little hope, isn't it? As long as one neurotic survives, it's a great victory for human hope, isn't it?"

Eve seemed to adjust her mood and said earnestly, "Besides, are you also making yourself feel better?

The robin was stunned, then let go of his clenched hand, causing the silver-white cross necklace to hang down.

"Are all these guys in your purifier so ruthless?"

"It's just enough sanity and awareness of death. ”

Robin and Eve walked side by side to the sealed gate, and as they walked, Robin couldn't help but turn his head and look at the patients.

"According to the evacuation regulations, the people who were evacuated here were all soldiers or knights of the purification agency, but due to the erosion of demons, they lost their minds and became patients in the Black Mountain Hospital. ”

"In other words, most of them were your comrades-in-arms, right?"

"Yes. ”

"But you're going to sacrifice them now. ”

"They will understand me, everyone knows their duty, and the fight against the demons is to light fireworks in the dark, and in order not to let the fireworks go out, we will jump into the fire one after another, and everyone is ready to die. ”

There was a faint pain in his chest, and the robin's gaze finally stopped on the face of a patient, an old fellow, who had been shouting about war criminals and ranks.

I couldn't see him clearly, but in the blur robin had a sense of familiarity, as if I had seen him sometime.

But don't worry about that, the robin attributed this strange anomaly to the encroachment of demons, and under its influence, everyone in the safe house breathed heavily.

Standing in front of the gate, Robin took one last look at Eve at his side.

"Are you ready? Step into the gates of hell. ”

Eve didn't speak, just clenched the lancet in her hand, this time there were no witchers to save her, she faced the most real, with demons in the most real battle.

The steel gate slowly rose, and the smell of blood seemed to condense into substance.

After this gate, there is hell.
