Siren Blade

Chapter 56 Fog

From the very beginning, I knew that Saber Tooth came with strong hostility towards me.

The first impression he gave me was the knife-like gaze projected from behind.It was a look of clear hostility.But from the time we met until now, he has endured with great perseverance the hostility and malice that boiled deep in his heart, and I can see all of this.

He must be the object of my blood feud somewhere.According to his tone, I probably killed the previous owner of the sword in his hand.

In the past, I rarely remembered the face of the person I killed.Because there are too many people killed, and no matter what the appearance is, it will be chopped into pieces in the end, and even the impression will be cut into pieces.But I still have some impressions of this sword.Once—it seems that a very skilled law enforcement warlock came to attack me with this sword.However, I was in the prime of my life at that time, and it was impossible for me to be "quite skilled" against me.So I ended up chopping up that law enforcement warlock and feeding it to "it".

As for the sword, was it thrown into the lake by me...or into the river?My memory on this is not very clear.All in all, while it was a remarkable weapon, at the time I already had the Siren Blade and the longsword was conspicuous to carry around, so I threw it away.

But today, Saber Tooth took revenge on me with that sword.

"Two years ago, my father was killed by you. Almost all his remains are missing, and only some bits and pieces of meat and bones can be found in your stronghold." He said coldly, "I didn't I don't want to attack you for a day, so when I heard that Lie Que captured you, I don't know how happy I am..."

"But you didn't die, and you didn't even receive any punishment. Brainwashed by monsters? You are actually a good person? Now you have become a law enforcement warlock? It's really unreasonable! How can such excessive things be accepted by people." He said, "You really should Died at the hands of Lie Que that day. If you are already a dead person, it is not impossible for me to shed two tears for you, the so-called 'victim'."

"Besides... are you really dominated by the sea monster? Maybe you are a murderer with perverted sexuality. From the beginning, there is no charm or brainwashing. Those are all wrong diagnoses by the Liucheng Security Bureau. "His words fell on my heart like a nail, "Sometimes a murderer with an extremely morbid psychology can escape some seemingly seamless psychological tests. This kind of precedent has not appeared in history. If you Such a perverted murderer... It must make you feel very happy to be a fish that slipped through the hidden law. But even if there is such a mistake, now there is finally a chance to be corrected."

"You will die at my hands. Today, right here."

He pointed the tip of his sword at me.I sat motionless in my seat.

The day has finally come.When I was confronting the old bones, I had foreseen this kind of thing happening.In addition to the old bones, there are countless people who have been killed by themselves, and how many people shed blood and tears in invisible places, biting their teeth and trying to eat themselves alive.More avengers appeared in front of him one after another, and this was bound to happen.

However, I don't know when, intentionally or unintentionally, I ignored this matter.Because of the warmth that the blue bird gave me, I regained the motivation to live well.I want to imitate the actions of the hero and fight against the evil forces in the remaining two to four years. At the same time, if possible, I also want to take that hand back from the dark scientist Bai Ju who has ulterior motives, so that I can end myself. certain obsessions.But maybe I'm a more self-centered guy than I thought, only thinking about what's convenient for me; or maybe I know deep down that I can't handle this kind of thing, so I put it on the shelf.Even if I am no longer eager to die, what if a victim seeks revenge on me and asks me to kill someone?

Especially, what if the avenger who appeared in front of him was not an evil avenger like an old bone, but an upright avenger who was always firmly on the right path?

Do I want to say to him: Sorry, you are late, I suddenly don't want to die now, please go home——?

how is this possible.

Just when Saber Tooth seemed to be about to strike.

"Well, the fog you mentioned just now..." Joan suddenly interjected weakly, "Does it mean the dense fog that has been shrouding Bairi Town today?"

"What?" Saber Tooth was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, screams came one after another from outside the hotel.
-
When we got outside the hotel, everything outside was messed up.

Everything—that's the right word, it's everything.As soon as I opened the door, I saw that the street outside was covered with white fog, and the visibility was extremely low.After walking a few steps, I turned around to look at the hotel. The whole hotel was submerged in thick fog, and I could only vaguely see the blurred outline of the building.In the depths of the dense fog, the roars and bites of monsters and the screams of people came, and the stench of flesh and blood was gradually permeating from different directions.

The dense fog not only blocked the vision, but also blocked my awareness to a certain extent.Even if I close my eyes, I can perceive the movement of objects within a radius of [-] meters with my own perception, but now I can only perceive the movement of a dozen meters away at most.

The hearing can still function normally, but the information obtained by hearing is not optimistic.Even from hundreds of meters away... no, even from a farther away place, I can hear the roar of monsters and the screams of humans.

The whole town of Bairi seemed to be in a frenzy of terror.

When we entered the hotel just now, everything was normal, and such a thick fog should not be able to cover it in such a short period of time.Coupled with this effect of blocking awareness, it is obviously not a natural fog.

In addition, Joan's words just now are also suspicious.It seemed to him that the dense fog had shrouded White Day Town from the very beginning?
There is no time to ask questions slowly, we must first save people.

Saber Tooth seemed to realize the urgency of the matter, he stared at me through gritted teeth, then turned his head suddenly, and rushed into the thick fog.

I, too, was looking for a direction to rush into the fog.But at this moment, a strange monster rushed out of the thick fog and attacked Joan beside me.

It was a demon with a black carapace, like an insect, but as big as a cow.Although the appearance was different from the demon that broke out of the investigator's body last time, it was obviously the same type.In other words, it was the tentacles of the mist demon.So the one who created this dense fog...or the dense fog itself, is it really the devil of the fog?
Saber Tooth mentioned that if the Demon of Fog is fully unfolded, it will be enough to cover Bairi Town in his body... In other words, is it possible that the entire Bairi Town has fallen now?

Judging from the successive roars coming out of the dense fog, there are more than hundreds of demons in the depths of the dense fog at this time.

I smashed the attacking demon with the siren blade, then grabbed Joan by the wrist and brought him back to the hotel.

"Find a place to hide around here first..." As I was saying this, I saw several demons similar to the one just now broke into the hotel from the outside and began to attack everyone in the hotel. Customers and shop assistants, at the same time, thick fog also diffused into the room.The people in the shop let out sounds of shock and fear, and agitated in panic.

It is impossible to be safe in the hotel now.

I cast the Siren Blade and shattered one of the demons, then summoned the Siren Blade again and cast it again.In just half a second, I repeated this process several times. All the demons that broke into the room had no time to do anything, and they all exploded into plasma and debris in the blink of an eye.

Then, I said to Joan: "You still follow me, don't leave my side."

"Okay..." he said with lingering fear.

There were still endless roars and screams coming from outside.I couldn't let it go, and I took Joan to move at high speed in the dense fog outside, but I didn't think it was fast enough, so I simply carried him on my back.Demons appeared frequently along the way, sometimes even in groups of three or four, but they were all blasted and killed by the siren blade I projected on the spot.

In addition to the demons, I also saw the remains of passers-by and many destroyed vehicles and buildings on the road.Sometimes I can see passers-by running away in a panic, and I try to stop him and tell him not to go in a direction that I haven't cleared.But passers-by were so panicked that they lost their minds, they seemed unable to hear my voice, and quickly disappeared in the thick fog.

I tried to catch up with passers-by, but weird things happened.Originally, it was impossible to run past me at the speed of passers-by, but when I chased after me, I found that passers-by disappeared as if they were swallowed by the thick fog itself.Moreover, every time I followed the screams from a distance, I couldn't see any traces of people. Instead, there was only blood and some brutal demons.

The screams still sounded one after another in the depths of the dense fog, but it seemed that there were only screams, and the source of the sound could not be seen.

Could it be that it was too late for me to rescue him?Or do these demons imitate human cries for help to attract prey?But that's all for a few times, it's too weird to see no living person's shadow every time.

After a while, not even the screams and cries for help could be heard.The dense fog completely fell silent, and the entire Bairi Town seemed to have turned into a dead ghost town.

"What the hell is going on..." Joan hugged me tightly like an octopus with both hands and feet. I could feel his body trembling uncontrollably with my back. He hugged my neck vigorously. , made a trembling voice in my ear, "Why are the others gone?"

I couldn't answer his question, so I wandered around the streets and alleys of Bairi Town at high speed to investigate for a while.Occasionally, some demons would suddenly come out to attack us, but no living person could be seen.And from my investigation, the dense fog indeed basically covers all the places in Bairi Town, even if there are places that are not covered, it is only [-]% to [-]% at most.

I tried to leave Bairi Town, at least send Joan on my back first, and then come back and find a way to deal with the dense fog.

Traveling at full speed in a straight line at my speed, it is only a matter of minutes to leave Bairi Town.But the strange thing is that when I went to the edge of Baishen Town, the dense fog suddenly became thicker and became invisible.And in this thick fog, no matter how much time you move, you can't go outside Bairi Town. There is only an infinitely extending fog in front of you.On the contrary, when he turned back, he returned to the town within half a minute.

This fog... the area shrouded in this thick fog has become a different space that cannot be left?

The different space is the devil's forte, and it is not unreasonable for the demon of the mist to turn his coverage into a different space.

I had no choice but to convince myself to accept this fact first, and then took Joan to find an empty convenience store on the street.There's a demon in the store, biting the remains of someone who is presumably the owner of the store.I smashed it to pieces with a single encounter, and the demon dissipated in mist as it fell.

The small town shrouded in dense fog, countless monsters, and slaughtered residents... The situation has become like a horror movie with doomsday themes.

Although it was such an unexpected incident that interrupted Saber Tooth's revenge against me, how could this turning point make me happy.How many people died in this accident?How many living people are there in Bairi Town now?
Did the fog demons slaughter villages like this in the past?

I have seen in the general knowledge textbooks of the Security Bureau that under the appearance of peace in the secular society, there are countless appalling secrets hidden.Not only are villages or small towns suddenly changed and slaughtered, but on a global and national scale, even entire cities have turned into ghost towns overnight, not without exception in the past few years. Pass.But anyway, it was too much, and I couldn't be hard-hearted enough to fool around with such a large amount of bloodshed.

Is the succubus behind this?I felt a very dangerous atmosphere in the wooden box at the scene of her ceremony before. Based on the information from Saber Tooth, it is likely that the demon of fog is sealed in the wooden box.At this time, the demon of the mist has occupied Bairi Town, so it is impossible to have nothing to do with the succubus.

I have no way to deal with such a huge demon.Although I have thought about whether it is possible to use the Siren Blade to cut off the fog that is the body of the Mist Demon little by little, but the Mist Demon is really too huge, and I don't want to see any effect even if I am exhausted.I'm afraid that Saber Tooth may not have a solution, but if he can snatch the wooden box that sealed the fog demon from the succubus, maybe he can think of another way.

The worst case scenario is that the succubus patted its ass and ran away with the wooden box after releasing the demon of the fog.

It is not known when outside assistance will come.A covert incident of this scale should soon attract the attention of the Local Security Bureau.

Also, I have something to ask Joanne.

"Joan." I slowly put him on the ground, and turned to look at him again, "You said that this thick fog has been filling the town today... When did this 'always' start? of?"

"From the very beginning." He was confused by my question, and carefully explained, "I don't know when it started, when I entered the town, there was thick fog all over the town gone."
