24. Strong sister
"Three...... Two, one. ”
Exploded!
Both Lilith and Epimetheus immediately covered their ears, because according to Epimetheus's conservative estimates, these were obviously blast-type "new humans" who were meant to perform a "big show", and the energy generated when they exploded was very large, and it was accompanied by the impact of the aftermath of the explosion.
Maybe even this heavy stone gate may not be able to resist it, and it is for this reason that Lilith and Epimetheus stuff the remaining "new humans" into it as much as possible.
Even if you are hit by a stone, it will hurt a lot.
But......
“...... What about the explosion?"
Lilith, who blocked her ears, even wondered if she didn't hear the explosion because she was too dead, but Epimetheus next to her was also puzzled.
"Isn't there anything wrong?"
Lilith let go of her hand, though she couldn't rush to the stone gate just yet.
No, that's weird, could it be that those monsters have gnawed all the blast-type "new humans"? But even if the first few "new humans" will be murdered, it is impossible for the next few "new humans" to be swallowed up in terms of time.
Because the time left for them is only a short dozen seconds, and in these ten seconds, some of the monsters target the blood stains on the ground, and the other monsters target themselves who are yelling and jumping around.
What's even more incomprehensible is that these guys should just go for blood, and will attack the "new humans" who are sitting there quietly playing soy sauce. It was doubtful in the first place. But. There was no explosion in this case. And how should it be explained?
"There's no way it's going to run out of power. ”
Epimetheus hurriedly turned, "Impossible, obviously I chose the 'new human' with the most remaining power, and the self-explosion doesn't need any electricity at all, it doesn't make sense at all!"
"Hey, wait, if it suddenly explodes in the past, your life will be gone. ”
Lilith hurriedly grabbed Epimetheus. The little king, who had suddenly returned to a state of anxiety, was brought under control.
Having failed in his plan, he had apparently reverted to his previous agitated appearance, and this time the blow seemed to be bigger than expected.
"Anyway, I'll go and see, at least...... I'm faster than you. ”
Lilith gave a condition that Epimetheus would never find a reason to refute, and then walked cautiously towards the stone gate.
The earth-shattering explosion that was supposed to have been brought didn't appear, and not only that, but the monsters that would have crashed into the stone gate like crazy before seemed to be honest now, and they couldn't hear the slightest movement on the other side of the stone gate.
The "new humans" did not explode for the time being, and these monsters should not use the method of silence to induce themselves to open the door. Because at the moment when there was no explosion just now, I did think about opening the stone door to check the situation outside.
But. This is already the last battle between himself and Epimetheus, but are those monsters really so smart? Or are they influenced by some other, external factor?
"Wow...... It's hot. ”
Lilith's hand that had just touched the stone door immediately retracted, obviously there was no heat, but the stone door became hot like a stone placed next to the fire. And......
I always feel that it is getting hotter and hotter, and the color of the stone is gradually starting to turn red......
Wait a minute...... With such a thick stone gate, no monster can do such a thing, unless......
"Hey, come back soon!"
Before Lilith could report the situation to Epimetheus, the little king took the lead and dragged Lilith in his direction, and at the same time as the two of them stumbled and fell, the stone door that would roar when it opened and closed turned into a puddle of liquid like a melted gummy, and the surrounding weeds were instantly flooded with flames.
Soon, a figure appeared in Lilith's field of vision, reflecting Epimetheus' anxious but increasingly lost face.
I really picked a wrong time and came back early, my lord's sister.
Maybe it's because of the relationship she had just fought with those monsters and the heavy stone doors, this cold beauty finally had a little respite, but her expression was even more cold.
Indeed, if the "new humans" who have been placed and given the blasting order did not explode, in addition to being eaten clean or running out of electricity, there is also a possibility that they received an order like "do not explode".
And the person who has this supreme authority, except for Charlotte, and who can use it by accident, himself, is left with Prometheus.
However, it is really not the right time to come back, because the current Epimetheus is too lost to work. I'm afraid, it's because of those boring masculinities before.
"Sister...... Sister. ”
Perhaps because of his long-standing habits, Epimetheus's expression, which had just been cloudy, became calm in the next moment. However, this is obviously because of the forced calmness of Prometheus's cold look as if he was about to kill.
"That...... Thank you. ”
“......”
After staring at his brother for a while, Prometheus looked away as if giving up, and instead stared at Lilith, his cold expression obviously asking what was going on here.
I always feel that it's super scary, so it's better not to lie.
"That...... I stayed in the house with him all the time, and then, all of the 'new humans' suddenly ran out of electricity......"
Lilith explained in a slurred manner as she cautiously looked at Prometheus' expression.
Fortunately, although the other party looked a little angry, he should still be able to listen to what he said.
"And then hide in here, that ...... Well...... I just felt like I couldn't stay there and do nothing. ”
Lilith thought about it, but decided to carry the pot down, and after forcibly signaling Epimetheus not to talk nonsense or refute, Lilith continued to explain, "Then I thought of this way, as long as I sacrifice some 'new humans', I can solve the monster......"
"Not your idea......"
Oh yes! I'm so well disguised!
"That, that...... Hahaha, actually, ......"
"Why are monsters coming in?"
As if seeing through Lilith's boring explanation, Prometheus directly blocked any excuses Lilith would have in the future.
However, it is really useless to talk about these boring things now. Outside the stone gate that had melted into water, there were all charred black marks left by the monster after it had been burned, and Prometheus, who had made this qiē, seemed to have just waved his hand casually.
Now that you have been saved, don't make any more excuses, because, now there is obviously a problem that is even stricter than these monsters, and it is also the one that suddenly came to mind when I solved these monsters, a terrible possibility.
Prometheus, isn't that obviously knowingly asking, or is there an answer she wants?
Then there's nothing wrong with saying it yourself.
"Because ......"
Lilith took a deep breath, "I doubt that any of you have been a mole!" (To be continued......)
