Ember Gun

  Chapter 257 Living creature

  "Body indexes tend to be normal, the Geiger counter is stable, the flesh and blood show no signs of continuous expansion, and the driver is conscious..."

  The white robe depicts a snake with a tail, and countless people walk around the black angel.

Lorenzo was too late to enjoy the joy of success. After realizing that Lorenzo could control the black angel, the scientific researchers who hid in the bunker walked out, holding all kinds of detector-like things in Lorenzo. His body was chaotic, and various data were recorded at the same time.

   "You are a miracle, Lorenzo."

  The mechanical arm slowly descended, and Merlin grasped the bump on the side and appeared above the black angel.

"The previous test-drivers were all dead. They were directly swallowed and decomposed by flesh and blood, as if this armor had self-consciousness. Kill those people and feed on them... It may be the reason why you also have the Holy Grail flesh and blood, it may be Treat you as the same kind."

   "It's not a good thing to be recognized by a monster as the same kind."

   A deep voice sounded from behind the plate armor, Lorenzo did not like the current situation.

"The pressure is normal, and it seems that the intensity of erosion has not been strengthened by its awakening, or that I am of its kind and have certain resistance," Lorenzo explained his current feelings according to Merlin's thinking. "I feel a little itchy...I can't hold those joysticks and the like. I remember that the original sin armor relies on them for some functions, right?"

  Lorenzo didn’t have much experience in driving the original sin armor. He remembered part of the operation method when he read the weapon master’s operation manual.

  The original sin armor is essentially a demon fused with machinery, and the human will replaces its brain to dominate this evil body.

This is a huge and heavy armor. The main power relies on the power of the steam engine and the flesh and blood of the demon. The nerve electrodes that the driver will be pierced after entering are connected with the nerves of the demon, linking the power of the two lives. , In order to achieve the use of human consciousness to control demons.

  Therefore, driving armor is a very risky job. In the process of contact, the consciousness is exposed to the monsters without any reservation. Ordinary people will not be able to persevere for long, and only specialized knights have the ability to persevere.

Therefore, manipulating armor is not a technical job. When your consciousness is connected to the part of the monster, the armor will become an extension of your body. It is good to manipulate it like you are manipulating yourself, but there is still a part that cannot be conscious. The solution is the machinery used to restrain the flesh and blood.

The technology of the perpetual pump has not yet reached the part that can directly control the machinery, so the mechanical structure on the original sin armor requires some small operating lever buttons to be filled into the already small cockpit, generally for easy operation , They are basically concentrated in the hands.

  "To ensure safety, those functions are temporarily offline."

  Merlin said to Lorenzo.

"In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the original sin armor, we have installed a lot of external weapons for it, such as armor fire, such as hooks, etc., but during the experiment, all of these weapon parts were removed, and the button operating levers are temporarily useless... But please be careful not to press arbitrarily, some of which are related to the steam engine."

  Merlin said halfway, and then warned Lorenzo.

   "Then what should I do now?"

Lorenzo couldn't help asking, the environment in the armor was really not very good. The sticky flesh and blood wrapped around him, and there was some mucus flowing. What's even more strange was that Lorenzo could feel his back as if I was caught by something, not those electrodes, it was more like hyperplasia of flesh and blood that merged myself with it.

  Too late to think about all that happened in the Temple of Silence after the shuttle, Lorenzo just wanted to get rid of Merlin as soon as possible and crawl out from here.

  "Wave your hand...Try to control this armor. At first you may feel awkward. This is normal."

  Merlin motioned the others to stay away from the black angel. After they withdrew, Lorenzo tried to move the armor.

This feeling is very strange. Lorenzo is connected with the black angel. It becomes an extension of the witcher's body. He wants to raise his arm, so the nerve gives the muscle command, which moves the bones and raises the mortal's arm, and the same The command of was also given to the flesh and blood of the demon, and the twisted flesh pulled the steel body and raised the arm covered with feathers.

  The strange feeling lingered around Lorenzo. Because the gap in the visor was not large, Lorenzo's field of vision was very narrow. He couldn't see his actions, but the strange touch was passed on.

  The feeling of each iron feather touching each other, these things are not external, but the iron that grows from the flesh and blood, and the metal case is full of nerves.

  "Don’t move too much, you may cut us into pieces if you just wave your hand."

  Merlin shouted again, but this time his voice was farther away. He climbed up the robotic arm a few times, as far away as possible from Lorenzo.

  Although Merlin's swordsmanship is barely outstanding among alchemists, it can only be used for slashing. Those crispy alchemists who inhale toxic substances in their bodies due to long-term experiments have no hope for dealing with the armor of original sin.

Everyone looked at all this in awe. This armor has been extremely ominous since its birth. In general, it has only had two drivers and three use records. Galahad was the first driver. As a result, Galahad was the first driver. In it, he was eroded and stunned, and he was unable to drive the armor anymore, and he himself was deeply tortured.

  The next successor is Lorenzo, and the next two activations of Black Angel are also so weird.

  "Continue to try exercises, with a smaller range."

  Melin said that he has rich experience in debugging armor.

  Lorenzo also followed his instructions, slowly moving his arms, the strange body began to become familiar, until Lorenzo felt that he was integrated with it.

  The bright green light kept on, and everything seemed to have stabilized. Meilin recorded the time, and then said.

  "The synchronization rate between you and the black angel tends to 100%, and it should be fully usable."

"What's the meaning?"

Lorenzo is a little curious about this new vocabulary. The original sin armor is very peculiar, but in fact Lorenzo doesn’t have much contact with it. The maneuverability of the Demon Hunter is far stronger than it, and because of its size and uncontrollability. , It needs to cooperate with an efficient transportation system and a scavenger responsible for finishing.

  This is the trump card for the elimination of organs, but after the appearance of Lorenzo, the Demon Hunter has a stronger practicality than it, resulting in a lot less appearance of the original sin armor.

  At that time, the appearance of Lorenzo still dealt a big blow to Merlin. After so many years of chasing after the elimination agency, the result was still much worse than the evangelical church’s taboo weapons.

  Fortunately, Merlin later wanted to understand that the Demon Hunter has a very strong individual combat ability, and was originally suitable for silent beheading operations in complex cities. Compared with him, the original sin armor is suitable for use on the frontal battlefield.

"Like your blood secret threshold, manipulating the armor is essentially taking over the body of the demon. Our consciousness must gradually synchronize with those flesh and blood to drive it, but like you, this is also dangerous. When the synchronization rate exceeds 100% bad things will happen."

  Merrington paused and continued.

"It's probably that human consciousness has been seized by demons... and this is erosion, but we don't know exactly how it will happen. In order to ensure safety, we never let the driver's synchronization rate exceed the red line. After the red line, it is for us. It's unknown."

  "It's very interesting. Although it is different, it is somewhat similar to the secret blood." Lorenzo replied.

   "That's it, Lorenzo, to be precise, using everything related to demons has to pay a corresponding price..."

  The machine turned, the hoist lowered the iron rope, and slowly dropped to the vicinity of the black angel. Although his sight was narrow, Lorenzo could still see the iron that was approaching.

   "Hold on to it."

  Merlin said, "This is obviously not enough for you to stretch your legs and feet."

Lorenzo raised his hand hesitantly, the palm of flesh and machinery firmly grasped the iron rope, and then the entire black angel was lifted again, but this time Merlin also jumped directly, the black angel was covered with deadly Tie Yu, he specifically chose a safe position to sit down, put one hand near the visor and ascended with Lorenzo.

  The entire black angel was merged into the guide rail and moved slowly forward, because the underground space was not consistent, many passages could not be entered the size of the original sin armor, so he could only use this cargo guide rail.

   "Where are we going next?"

"Workshop, the space there is large enough, and the protection is tighter than here. You can test more actual combat data for you. Of course, if you perform well enough to ensure that you are not out of control, you can also send you to the mines on the surface. "

  Merlin's words were too relaxed, which made Lorenzo suspicious.

  "How many times have you done this?"

"What? Do you mean those in the mine or the workshop? The flow of the perpetual pump is like this. After the weapon is stabilized in the laboratory, it will be sent to the workshop for further experimentation. After the stability is confirmed in the workshop, it will rise to the surface mine. The field, anyway, the industrial zone is so big, the experiment here will not leak out."

Merlin frowned. He actually wanted to test the strength of the erosion himself when he got so close. After all, in terms of data, the black angel showed a lot weaker than other armor, but judging from his current disgust, it's still It's normal.

   "But Lorenzo, I have something to ask you."

"you say."

Merlin glanced at the visor next to him. Lorenzo was behind this steel. If he had a sharp enough sword in his hand, he could easily pierce the gap between the armor from this angle and kill Lorenzo with a single sword. Zuo.

  "What happened during the time you...was unconscious?"

  Mei Lin asked seriously. Just now in the experimental field, with so many onlookers, Mei Lin was worried a lot.

   After all, Lorenzo is essentially an uncontrollable neuropathy. He might do crazy things, let alone activate this mysterious black angel.

  Merlin doesn’t believe that all this will go so smoothly, at least something must have happened.

  "[Gap], [Gap] shuttle."

  Lorenzo hesitated for a moment, but he still said it. Merlin had knowledge that Lorenzo didn't know in his mind. Instead of hiding it, it was better to see what kind of surprises this alchemist could bring to himself.

   "That is Lawrence's ability."

   "But I seem to be able to do this by using the original sin armor. I don't know why this is."

  Lorenzo replied.

   "Then where did you use [Gap] to shuttle?"

Merlin began to realize that something was wrong. He never expected this result. Fortunately, Lorenzo was not in a coma for a long time. Judging from his safe return, he should have done nothing wrong during this time. thing.

   "Still Temple."

   "Quiet... Temple of Stillness?"

   Merlin's expression froze, and then he was a little unbelievable, "Wait a minute, you have returned to the Temple of Silence? How is this possible?"

   "But this is the truth. Although it is far away, I still arrived. It was in ruins, just like I had left on the night of Holy Prophet."

  Lorenzo did not mention those things about the new pope, and sometimes this information can be exchanged for more valuable things.

  "After you were unconscious, the black angel entered a weird state. Its erosion range has been expanded several times, beyond our observation... Is this a means to increase the transmission distance?"

  Merlin keenly discovered something, but then he thought of something. He immediately turned over and got close to the cold visor, trying to see Lorenzo's face through the gap.

   "No, Lorenzo, you said it was the Temple of Silence?"

  The alchemist was only reacting now, he almost pried the visor off, dragged Lorenzo out, and yelled at him face to face.

   "Have you arrived there?"

Lorenzo in the armor also replied with some fear.

   "Yes, [Gap] requires a beacon to shuttle, and it needs a process of erosion, and I haven't eroded there, but I can return there..."

  Lorenzo thought about all this.

  "Unless I have been in contact with it for a long time, so the voice is constantly echoing in my mind, and my location can be traced through the silver bolt..."

   "No, these are not important, Lorenzo!"

  Merlin was a little panicked. He had never been like this. He thought that after Holy Night, all the mystery of the gospel church was only the "Revelation", but now it seems that it is much more than that.

  "Although we are not sure of the true principle of [Gap], it is certain that [Gap] is based on a certain consciousness, and consciousness needs flesh and blood as a carrier.

  In other words...The Temple of Silence is alive. "

The sound roared and echoed in Lorenzo's mind. He was a little dazed, and then recalled everything in the shuttle process. It was so obvious, but he didn't notice that there were more things in the place of origin. Known secrets.

  The Gospel Church...what are they hiding?

  If it was just a vague omen before, then Lorenzo really felt that at this moment, there is a hazy veil in this world that completely hides the real it, and now it has been lifted by a corner.

Everything was so close, and then light came down. The guide rails led the two into the workshop. The expansive experimental field was covered by iron armor. The lifting platform moved slowly, and endless light fell from the top, bringing everything into it. illuminate.
