Chapter 49: Welcome to Silent Hill (Part II)
Fortunately, before joining the Tarot organization, Allen was an elite agent of the CIA, not only performing missions overseas, but also participating in a number of investigations in the lighthouse country, with rich investigation experience and reasoning ability.
In the past, Allen's opponent was an agent of various countries, and in the brutal spy war, Allen stepped into the position of department head, which is enough to prove his ability.
He found that there were many footprints in front of the abandoned building...... No, and handprints.
These footprints are large and small, and they are almost certainly human footprints, at least the shape of the feet is very human-like.
"One adult male, five...... Infant?! ”
Alan frowned, judging by the footprints, at least one tall adult male and five babies had walked by...... Oh no, the baby should have crawled, he climbed in with both hands and feet.
Not to mention who would let these babies crawl on the ground, what made Alan feel even more unbelievable was ...... The footprints were pitch black, almost like they had been painted on charcoal.
Judging from his experience as an agent and after joining the Tarot organization, Alan had seen similar footprints, but these footprints were only left in the fire.
Unconsciously, such a picture appeared in Allen's mind...... A tall adult male and five infants, who were on fire, ran into the building in a panic.
"Damn ......"
Alan cursed himself in the bottom of his heart, all the arcane arts he exchanged with the main god were offensive and defensive types, and there were no auxiliary spells. If only there was a spell like location perception and biolocation at this time.
"It's not a good thing to rely too much on mental power controllers." The thought came to Alan's mind.
Alan didn't stop long, and he didn't ask Abraham to help him perform a psychic scan of the inside of the building...... Most of this building has collapsed, and I don't know what danger it will be if I enter it rashly, and if there is a second collapse, I will be injured if I don't die with Allen's strength. And if Abraham is asked to scan the interior of this building, it is not impossible, but it will consume a lot of his energy, and his vigilance about the surrounding situation will inevitably be relaxed, and if there is any danger, Alan may not be able to react in time.
All things considered, Alan still gave up the tempting idea of going in and investigate, and turned to explore other places within the range of the mental power scan.
Since Abraham's psychic scanning range was greatly suppressed by this strange fog, Alan planned to go to the edge of his psychic scanning range to find clues, at least to know what was going on here.
Walking in the fog, Alan always felt that these fogs were very similar to a common prop used by those reincarnators of the Tower of Babel - the fog of war.
However, a fog of war as large as covering the entire research city, according to the current intelligence, must at least be a legion-level fog of war. That's something that only the Ten Legions can exchange, and the average Babel Reincarnation Team doesn't have such a high-level product at all.
Since the last invasion of the Heavenly Court, Alan has also known the ten legions that are said to represent the strongest forces in the Tower of Babel, and he does not think that this will be the work of the reincarnators of the Tower of Babel. Moreover, these fogs do not look like the fog of war, at the very least, the fog of war will never have these ashes floating in the fog.
However, before Eren could reach the edge, Eren came to a sudden halt.
He lowered his head and looked at the road...... I saw that on the road, aside from these abandoned bricks and tiles, there were countless dark footprints everywhere in sight where you could stay......
"This is ......" Allen's face changed slightly, and these pitch-black footprints were extremely regular, as if they were ...... Pilgrims from all over the city come here!
However, all the footprints came to an abrupt end in front of him, as if there was a clear straight line in front of him, and Alan roughly estimated that these footsteps were only one or two kilometers away from the main god square, and they could be reached by walking for a maximum of ten minutes.
"Footprints? But there are no other clues...... What the hell is this ......?"
Alan was still thinking about it, however, at this moment, a piercing air defense siren sounded violently!
And in Allen's mind, Abraham also immediately heard a nervous shout-
"Alan, run!"
The gray fog quickly dissipated, and under Allen's feet, the smooth and smooth road began to peel off inch by inch like molting skin, and the dark red light sprinkled down from the sky, and a wave of heat came out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye, the originally silent and deserted world turned into a purgatory!
Buildings were filled with flames and black smoke, and countless creepy moans stimulated the human spirit and reason, and the murmur of deep resentment was like the most vicious curse in the world, and the darkness of the sun in the sky filled the entire city.
And what made Allen's hair stand on end even more was that in front of him...... I don't know when there are countless densely packed "people"!
These people were pitch black as charcoal, and there were some embers burning on them that had not yet completely ended, bringing more dim light to the entire dark red world.
It was impossible to tell what these people looked like because their entire bodies were scorched, but Alan realized it immediately just by glancing at where they were standing...... This is where those footprints exist!
They...... Standing in front of me all the time!
The cold hairs all over his body stood up, and the huge sense of danger forced Eren to unlock his genetic lock in an instant, and the runes in the palms of his hands were instantly triggered, allowing Eren to activate his own self-created skills.
"Spell Model: Ice Wall!"
The rune flashed, and a huge ice wall ten meters long, three meters high, and two meters thick instantly appeared in front of Allen, and Allen also turned around and fled, running in the direction of the main god square.
Those charred corpses, Alan instinctively has a sense of danger towards them, if they touch it, something terrible will definitely happen.
Fortunately, Alan has such a hole card as his own skills...... The runes on his hands recorded a total of more than twenty spell models that had been fully parsed by him, and these spell models could be charged with arcane energy in advance, and when used, they were directly instantaneous, just like the legendary magic scrolls, or even more convenient.
