245 Infernal Hell
I still haven't been sure if the "mysterious powerhouse" mentioned in the letter really exists.
Assuming it's a blood-biting lie, there is no such character at all, and I don't necessarily have to face the dawn when I go to the ruins of the radio tower at this moment. Because that possibility means that Bite Blood is my enemy again, and this time she'll work with Dawn against me.
The worst possibility is that the "mysterious powerhouse" is real, and the bite of blood is still my enemy again. Then the number of super-main warlocks I need to face will become three. Even if I had the confidence to defeat Dawn in a single challenge, I couldn't boast that I would be able to win in such a situation where there was a serious imbalance in power.
I followed the siren's instructions and moved towards the "stronghold where nothing had happened" that the three demon sorcerers had planned to go to before. The biggest concern at this stage is that I don't know how far Dawn's plan has got, and whether his plan will suddenly be completed while I take care of other things. However, I don't think it will take much time to make this trip, and I have to take this opportunity to gather as much information as possible.
Soon, I was quickly in front of the colony. It was a tall office building, and according to the siren's induction feedback, there were twenty or thirty demonic warlocks inside.
With my strength, even at this distance, I can directly release the sword and raze the land where this office building is located to the ground. But there should still be a lot of undead people in the office building, so it's better not to be so rude.
Needless to say, I will do my best to dispose of those immortals with the power of the true spirit. It's just that from what I know, the gathering of too many undead can cause a horrific pollution phenomenon. If you want to prevent this, you have to isolate them like underground research institutes in the capital. Perhaps the enemies in this colony have done something similar, and if I bomb outside, I'm likely to self-defeatingly break the security measures and cause pollution to erupt.
At this moment, I have another suspicion: is this stronghold really okay?
Even if all safety measures are in place, it is actually impossible to completely eradicate the possibility of pollution. The power of pollution is the power of otherworldly ghosts, and the characteristic of otherworldly ghosts is that they are "unfathomable". In the capital, even if researchers led by doctors do everything possible to prevent "pollution" from leaking out of inexplicable places, the underground research institute is set up in the suburbs far from the city. I actually have a lot of complaints about this matter, and if I really care about the lives of ordinary people, I think I should set up an underground research institute on an uninhabited island or something.
The memories of the three demon warlocks hinted that something was wrong with the other strongholds, and judging from their injuries, could this "problem" mean that the other strongholds had erupted in a terrifying pollution phenomenon?
When I think of the "pollution" vortex above the ruins of the radio tower, I feel that I don't have so much foresight to do it, so I can only go in and kill all the people.
What happened next undoubtedly confirmed my terrible assumption that this stronghold really broke out into an anomaly.
I rushed into the interior of the office building at full speed. I didn't go through the main entrance either, and smashed the wall on the side. I don't take the stairs or the elevator when I go upstairs, but I smash the ceiling to go to other floors. Some demonic sorcerers are patrolling the level. These are the people I want to kill, and naturally there is no reason to turn a blind eye.
"Who?"
"Someone is invading!"
"Too fast......"
When they saw that my man was suddenly attacking, they hurriedly organized a posture of defense and counterattack.
And I smashed their heads one by one with lightning speed.
Even if I didn't enter the "Soul Burning Mode", my speed and strength were not something that these demonic warlocks could handle. Admittedly, there are a handful of enemies who can catch my movement speed, but most of them can't make a decent counterattack, and those who can counter don't have enough lethality to threaten me.
The enemy, who was far away, immediately turned and ran, but before he could run a long distance, I chased him and killed him.
However, after only killing a few, I felt a strange feedback from my "feel", and the sirens made confused sounds; After killing a few more, I was able to finally realize the truth of the weirdness with the awareness I had strengthened during the battle.
These demonic sorcerers, although they look and slash like living people, and they can't find anything wrong with their fear and running away, they don't feel like they're slashing and killing living people when they kill them.
And it was only after close contact that I finally realized that there were subtle "pollution" fluctuations on their bodies.
Since he is doing the work related to dealing with the undead, it is not surprising that he smells a little "polluted", which is the same reason that it is easy to get hair on his clothes when he comes into contact with cats and dogs. It's just that the "pollution" fluctuations on the bodies of these demonic warlocks are not just to the extent that they accidentally get on their bodies, they are fluctuations that emanate from within their bodies.
Could it be that they are all immortal? But it's not like I haven't slashed the undead, and this "feel" doesn't feel like killing the undead.
Thankfully, when I killed them, the fragments of their spirits were stored inside the Siren's Blade.
The siren extracted the memories in three times and divided them by two, and then was even more surprised, "What are these spirit fragments......
"What's wrong?" I asked, "Is it that the memories were not extracted?" β
"The memories are all extracted...... No, to be exact, a lot of memories were burned by the 'ignition of flames' rune set in by Dawn, but I still rescued a few and pieced together some complete content based on the memories of different people...... But that's not the problem. "These spirit fragments are fakes," she said, incredulously. β
"Fakes?" I've never heard of this statement.
Can spirit fragments also be forged? If so, what are these people I killed?
"They seem to ...... No, no 'like', they're all already finished. "They were murdered before we even arrived at this place." β
I looked at the bloody axe in my hand, then at the few demon sorcerers in the distance who were running away very slowly, and asked, "You mean, they're all dead?" β
"I've got their memories in order. Let's take a look at these first. As he spoke, the siren transferred the memories he had pieced together into my mind.
Then, I hallucinated to a different scene from this place.
Even though I'm on the battlefield, I don't have to worry about being attacked when I check other people's memories. There were sirens regulating my perception and the speed of consciousness, and I could watch with confidence.
I saw a dimly lit room, what appeared to be a conference room. There were twenty or thirty demonic sorcerers gathered inside, many of whom I had killed before.
And in the deepest part of the conference room stood two people, one of whom had an ambitious face, it was Dawn; The other stood behind Dawn, his figure hidden in the darkness, unable to discern his exact appearance.
I'm watching this from the perspective of one of the demon warlocks.
At the same time, I also got certain additional information.
First of all, the remnants of the eve of the dawn summoned from all over the country were not very numerous, only a little over a hundred. After experiencing the large-scale extermination of the Security Bureau, being able to summon this number of demonic warlocks is actually quite powerful. In fact, some people in it are not very willing to obey Dawn's summoning order, because the night before has already been destroyed, and it will not be much good to continue to follow Dawn. It's just that they are all afraid of the flame curse of the dawn, and they are afraid that after they disobey their orders, they will suddenly die of "spontaneous combustion of the human body" while walking outside.
On the other hand, Dawn itself has an evil charisma and knows how to give temptation and reward while inflicting fear and pain. Moreover, the eve of the year or six years also experienced destruction, and he was the one who led him again, so there are not a few remnants of the eve who agree that he continues to be the leader.
However, some people don't think so, especially the people in this stronghold. They are afraid of the phenomenon of pollution, and they are also afraid that they will be "polluted" and transformed into immortals. They were initially unaware that they would be summoned to the high-risk task of containing large numbers of undead, but over time, some people began to sedition among them, secretly planning to escape from the fog.
Unknown who betrayed them, Dawn came to the base and gathered them together.
"I know that among you there are people who are dissatisfied with me, and there are even evil prisoners who have been inserted from the Security Service. But none of these things matter. Dawn said lightly, "Once the experiment here is successful, not to mention the pattern of the hidden world, the pattern of the entire world will be destined to take on a new look." At that time, I will be the ruler of the new world, and you are supposed to be the ruling class of the new world. β
"But that's built on success." This demon warlock from my perspective can actually speak to the dawn, "We know what your new world plan is, and you have explained it before, which is to directly pollute the Great True Spirit through the thing above the ruins of the Great True Spirit, and then use the 'upstream' of the Great True Spirit to pollute every human being as its 'downstream'...... But how can such a thing succeed? β
"Correct your mistakes first. First of all, this is my 'Dawn Project', which is different from Hakukoma's 'New World Project'. What he did was contrary to me, and he was trying to pollute the 'upstream' of the Great True Spirit by polluting the 'downstream'. It's just that I think it's too inefficient, so I have to use my own methods. Dawn smiled and said, "Secondly, even I can't directly pollute the Great True Spirit. Because I don't have a self-proof true spirit, I can't locate the location of the great true spirit. It's just that I have the means to get to the 'upstream' position that is close to the Great True Spirit, and then to pollute every human being 'downstream' as you said. β
He seemed to appreciate the man who dared to defy him, and added a few words, "Of course, relying on that 'pollution' vortex alone is far from enough to achieve the planned goal." This experiment is really just an experiment, and it is expected to transform all the people in several cities around the mirage into the immortal people of Stage 3, and that's it...... Then, why do you think I can't make it? β
"It's because Bai Ju thinks your approach is hopeless that he parted ways with you recently, isn't it?" The Demon Warlock said as he broke the jar.
"That's your misunderstanding too. It's not that he doesn't think I won't succeed, but he doesn't want me to succeed and refuses to help me. Because once my plan succeeds, I can really become the ruler of the new world...... It's just that my policy still satisfies his minimum needs, and he didn't come to stop me himself, but went to start a new business himself. Dawn said.
ββ¦β¦ Why do you say so much? Aren't you going to get rid of us? The demon warlock had hope in his heart.
"How so? Now I'm worried about running out of manpower, and I need you to continue to work for me. Dawn's words swelled the hope in his heart, "As for your little rebellion, as long as you think about it in the future, I will forgive you generously." β
And the next moment, Dawn used cruel words, completely breaking his luck mentality, "Especially after becoming an immortal, you can think about it as much time as you want." β
Hearing this, the demon warlock did not hesitate to activate his suicide spell.
Since he is so afraid of becoming immortal, he will naturally have a spell to commit suicide at a critical moment. While it was unlikely that a demonic warlock like him who wasn't even primary-level would succeed in committing suicide in front of a super-primary-level warlock in most cases, he was confident in how quickly his carefully crafted suicide spell could be activated. And he knew very well that Dawn was an extremely biased warlock who was only good at "igniting flames" runes, and he was indeed very good at killing, but it was completely impossible to prevent his opponent from committing suicide.
However, his idea was still too naΓ―ve.
Before he could activate the suicide spell and know what was happening, his thoughts stopped abruptly.
When he woke up again, he could no longer feel his body, he could not see or hear anything.
He was imprisoned in the infinite darkness, and the endless pain overwhelmed his consciousness, and there was no end to it......
"He was first turned into an immortal along with the others, and then burned to ashes by Dawn with flames." The sirens concluded, "If my assumptions are correct, their 'pollution' should have been combined with the 'pollution' of this fog to unexpectedly produce a new phenomenon of pollution." After that, they began to reappear in the colony in the form of physical apparitions, mimicking their own 'life' behavior, and continuing to patrol the colony. β
ββ¦β¦ Don't they remember what they did by Dawn in the past? I asked.
"They all forgot. To be exact, they all remember, but they can't recall. It's as if a person who has suffered a great trauma would bury the memories of that trauma deep into their unconscious. "They were so scared to remember that they were all wretched creatures who were imprisoned in the Infernal Hell." β
