Ember Gun

  Chapter 167 Wave

   "So, with that weird [gap], Master Lawrence may now invade any of us, right?"

  In the heavily armed room, Merlin frowned, and he came to this conclusion after Lorenzo's intelligence.

  A conclusion that disturbs everyone.

   Lorenzo nodded at this, he said.

   "That's it, but there should be any restrictions, such as certain conditions that trigger the invasion."

  [Gap] invasion needs to corrode the target, so as to establish a beacon that can indicate the course.

   "Is that so?"

  Merlin clasped her hands together, as complex thoughts turned in her mind, and the situation became worse and more difficult.

   "Mr. Holmes, this is an extremely dangerous incident."

  The empty eyes tell the terrible things.

   "The invisible and ubiquitous enemy, he also has a certain degree of power to predict the future..."

  As the words fell, a piece of lead stone was pressed down in everyone's heart, and even the air seemed to solidify, making people unable to breathe.

  Like an iron curtain of despair, dark and heavy, blocking all light.

  This is an enemy that can hardly be defeated, and Merlin can't see any hope of victory.

  The low mood surging, the cleansing mechanism has never encountered such a difficult enemy, and it is not clear where to start... even that they have no possibility of confrontation.

  At the end of the battle in which Master Lawrence appeared, terrible erosion erupted from him. With that degree of erosion, even Lorenzo fainted in an instant, let alone other people.

   Throwing a lot of troops is just to die.

   "So do you have any ideas?"

  Lorenzo said and looked at the other side of the room, and Arthur also looked solemn.

  This is the factory area of ​​the Institute of Mechanical Engineering. Although it is said to be a factory, it produces all heavy firepower weapons. In addition, there is a vast industrial area outside. After a short period of thought, Meilin decided to use this as a temporary shelter.

  Even if Master Lawrence really came with an army of demons, with the defensive power here and the open terrain of the industrial zone, the damage can be kept to a minimum.

This can be regarded as a temporary meeting room, only Merlin Arthur and Lorenzo, Seleu is still asleep, and is taken care of by Kestrel and Yahweh, because it involves Master Lawrence and the mysterious [gap], and the rest of the upper knights. They were also mobilized, and after the expedited maintenance of the perpetual pump, several original sin armors were already in place.

  No one thought that an ancient curse that was not true or false would eventually cause such a wide range of troubles, and all the power in the shadows would wake up.

  The war is coming.

   "Ideas?"

   Arthur lowered his head, his eyes were complicated, making it difficult to peek.

Compared to Merlin and Lorenzo, Arthur is actually the most qualified spokesperson here. As a son of the Phoenix family, his intuition about war has been carved into his blood. In this kind of global control battle , He is the best commander.

  He knows that all the forces that can be mobilized are eliminated. Old Dunling is his battlefield, and he needs to kill Master Lawrence here.

  In the long silence, Arthur slowly raised his head.

   "I have a preliminary plan, but... I don't know what you think."

  He looked at Lorenzo, because Lorenzo’s power of the demon hunter would be the main force against the Master Lawrence, and Arthur hoped to get his consent.

   "Yes, what you think."

  He said.

   "If his target is Miss Seleu Stuart, then... might as well use her as a bait."

  Arthur continued speaking without emotion.

"As you said before, Lorenzo, when fighting the hot monster, you... stepped into its [gap] and killed its consciousness, so it died, together with the outside The body of the demon collapsed together."

  "This is a very important discovery. In addition to the heart and brain, the monster’s third fatal weakness, then if Master Lawrence descends and invades Miss Stuart’s brain..."

  He took a deep breath, then said.

  "Then is it equivalent to us trapping Master Lawrence, whose will exists in her [Gap]."

  Master Lawrence invaded Seleu’s consciousness. From another perspective, he was also trapped in Seleu’s consciousness before he left.

  Lorenzo seemed to have thought of something, his cold eyes trembled slightly.

   "My plan has two plans."

   Arthur raised two fingers, his expression as cold as an iron ingot.

   "We will protect Seleu Stewart firmly, waiting for the invasion of Master Lawrence, and you...you should also have the power to invade [Gap], right."

Lorenzo has arrived at [Gap] more than once. In fact, he does not have this kind of power. To be precise, this is the power of Medanzo or Watson. Every time he acts, he needs to call them, but if he wants to fight against Master Lawrence, He has reached an agreement with Watson.

  Hesitated, he nodded, and Arthur continued.

  "Then the next step is very simple. When the Master Lawrence invades, you also invade, setting the battlefield in the consciousness of nothingness."

   "If you succeed, you will directly stifle Master Lawrence's consciousness and solve this enemy from now on, but if you fail, you will leave it to us."

   "You guys, what are you doing?"

   Lorenzo asked, if he fails, with the weird nature of [Gap], he has no ability to counter the Master Lawrence at all.

"It's very simple. You withdraw from the so-called [gap]. While Master Lawrence is trying to control Seleu Stuart, we perform frontal lobe resection for him. If all theories are correct, it will be closed. The brain will completely imprison consciousness, thereby solving this enemy."

  "Frontal lobe resection surgery!"

  Lorenzo's voice grew louder, he roared.

   "What are you thinking, Arthur!"

  "Keep calm, Mr. Holmes, this is a proposal, against the proposal of Master Lawrence."

   Arthur maintained his extreme sanity and didn't care what he just said.

   "Are you going to kill with Seleu?"

  Lorenzo certainly knew what the **** frontal lobe resection was.

"No, I will not kill her. After all, this is the first time we have encountered such a weird enemy, a spiritual enemy. I don’t know what to do if Miss Stuart’s brain is destroyed. If they die together, it is possible to release him."

   Arthur spoke of the most extreme cruelty in a calm tone.

  "My suggestion is to contain it. If you fail in the battle in [Gap], we will protect Miss Stuart after the operation and observe for a long time to judge the survival of Master Lawrence."

  Successfully, Seleuc will become the prison of Master Lawrence, just like Lorenzo, except that she has no consciousness of her own, because she has been enclosed in the gloom.

   "You don't know the feasibility of this thing at all!"

   Lorenzo retorted.

  No one knows whether this thing can really trap him, and no one even knows if all this is useful. It's like an unknown battle. Someone needs to sacrifice to walk through the minefield, but this time the victim is Seleu.

   "Arthur, what if Master Lawrence also evacuated after I evacuated?"

  That is an illusory will, no one can judge his position.

   "The operation will be very fast. If it is rougher, it can be done in a second or two."

  He said indifferently.

  "Put the steel needle in and stir it vigorously to destroy the white matter of the brain."

  "This is the most sensible inference, Mr. Holmes, keep the most extreme sane."

  Arthur shook his head, he just made a judgment from the most sensible angle.

   "I don't blame you, but at that time we did have room to return to Master Lawrence, but this time we didn't."

  At that time, Arthur could replace Eve and become a hostage to break the game, but this time it didn’t work. This was the most terrifying enemy, and there was no chance of maneuvering.

   "Master Lawrence is getting stronger and stronger. After receiving the Holy Grail, he has even been able to shuttle through [the gap]."

  He sneered.

"Think about it, although he is young, but under normal conditions, his combat power can be called the ceiling of mankind. After Master Lawrence inspires the secret blood, the huge erosion makes people within at least a hundred meters coma...and he is hunting demon. You can’t resist the human being, let alone foresee the future, travel through [the gap], or those forces that we don’t know yet."

   Arthur's gaze swept across Lorenzo and Merlin, and he seemed to look at the world beyond the steel wall.

   "Speaking of the [interval] shuttle, that is to say, before we figure out the trigger conditions and can prevent it, Master Lawrence may be anyone in this fortress."

  The voice was terrifyingly sharp.

"Perhaps he is here now. He has eroded the soldiers and is walking in this fortress with the body of the soldiers, or our high-ranking knights who often deal with demons... even Merlin, me, and you."

   Arthur pointed at the two, he was very sane and crazy.

   "In other words, each of us may be invaded by Master Lawrence now, maybe I am Master Lawrence now, but I pretend to be good enough that you can't find out."

  That is a terrible possibility.

   "No one can be trusted now, Mr. Holmes."

   Arthur warned.

   "So should I use Seleucid?"

  "Mr. Holmes, haven't you realized it? Everything we do is meaningless."

   Arthur answered.

  "This is no longer an ordinary commission. Let alone the sacrifice of a future duke, even if more sacrifices can kill the potential threat of Master Lawrence, I will implement it without hesitation."

"Master Lawrence is so powerful, in fact, on the frontal battlefield, we are not his opponents at all. As long as he releases the erosion, all people close to him will lose consciousness, and even be eroded to the third stage and degenerate into an abominable monster. "

   "Sacrificing Miss Stuart is only a possibility to defeat the Master Lawrence, but it is just a possibility that is worth a try, isn't it?"

   "Now Master Lawrence is so powerful, and if he is allowed to develop, then we will no longer have the possibility of counterattack."

  He continued.

   "Keep your sense, whichever is the lesser of the two evils, that's what you said."

  Lorenzo's anger froze for a while, he looked at Arthur blankly, not knowing what to say.

  Yes, it is more appropriate to exchange everything about a girl for the death of Master Lawrence. Even if Master Lawrence cannot be killed, it can be a good result that he can be imprisoned for a long time.

  Just sacrifice a girl.

   Then there was a cold chill.

  Yes, just kill one person, just sacrifice one person, just like he didn't care about Eve's life at the time, what is the difference between Seleu and her?

  He is a ruthless demon hunter, and he can pay everything to eradicate the demon Lorenzo. This price is simply cheap for him.

  But why do I feel angry and hesitant at this moment?

   Still saying... I have become more and more like a person.

  A terrible person.

   Deviated from the will of the weapon, and fresh flesh and blood grew on the cold steel again. Lorenzo's humanity hindered him, making him emotional, shaken, and hesitant.

  Take a deep breath, just thinking, the chaotic thoughts will tear your brain to pieces.

  Yes, Lorenzo hadn't thought about this at all. He was covered by hatred and anger for too long.

  He can't sacrifice everyone cruelly, he still has weaknesses, just like a ridiculous clown.

  "This is your mistake, Mr. Holmes."

  Arthur seemed to understand what Lorenzo was suffering, and he had suffered too.

   "Emotion will affect our judgment, so I always hope that Eve can stay away from me, and it's best to never see me again. She is my only weakness."

  "You should know this too, right, you are also trying to maintain absolute sanity, but sometimes life will tease you like this...Even if you get along with a dog for a long time, you will have feelings."

Suddenly recalled Seleuc’s appearance in his mind. Lorenzo tried to stay away from this child countless times. He knew very well the fate of deepening contact with the Demon Hunter. This was his mistake. If there were no such so-called feelings, Lorenzo Zuo can also make a very rational judgment at this moment.

  Just sacrifice a girl in exchange for a small chance of winning, which is very worthwhile.

   "Actually, you have already lost, Mr. Holmes."

  He was keenly aware of the change in Lorenzo's expression, and he smiled.

   "But congratulations, you are not a cold weapon, you can still empathize, although it makes people feel sick, but at least you are still alone."

"All of the above is only based on the fact that you lose the battle. That is to say, as long as you can kill Master Lawrence in [Gap], those cruel behaviors will not happen, but your first reaction I can't bear that brutality..."

   "So, you don't think you can beat Master Lawrence, right?"

  The atmosphere is cold, as if falling into the deep sea.

   "It feels very weak, right? In fact, this is the normal way we fight with demons, not the demon hunter's horizontal push all the way."

   Arthur continued.

   "We are all mortals, powerless and humble mortals, sailing in the dark sea, sometimes we will break through the turbulent waves, so we are happy and arrogant, thinking that we have conquered the sea."

   "Actually not, Mr. Holmes, we have never conquered that sea of ​​fear. It is just brewing strength, gaining momentum to wave that desperate wave and sweep us all at once."

  Looking at the eyes that gradually lost their emotions and became like ice seas.

   "Now, the wave is coming."
