Ember Gun

  Chapter 340 Pure Humans

  They were smiling. Although there was no sound coming from under the indifferent and delicate face, 042 could feel it when he looked at that hollow gaze.

  These unknown guests, angel-shaped beings, are laughing at themselves, laughing at everyone who resists here.

   "It's always like this, these guys are always so high, as if we were the livestock raised by them."

  The old man looked up at the angels, his face illuminated by the burning light.

   "But it's different now, are you surprised too? You were once hunters, but now you are hunted by the weaker us."

  The sharp screams kept on, and the witch hunters had already seen the appearance of angels, and they hunted them before they had fully constructed their bodies.

  The blood-stained corpses were falling continuously, and the withered blood swayed into a majestic rain curtain, from top to bottom, baptizing everyone.

  042 looked at all this in horror, and then moved his gaze to the old man with difficulty, and the old man seemed to feel his gaze, and showed an ugly smile at 042.

   "They are those guys, right?"

  The boy asked, in the face of the terrifying erosion, he was not even as good as the casual old man in front of him, his body trembling violently, and every nerve was wailing in pain.

"Yes, a kind of guy we don’t know yet, but it’s certain that these guys are connected to the origins of demons, and most of the time, they exist in a form that looks like a ghost, peeping Everything in the world is the reason why we have not found them, because they are not visible."

  The old man patiently explained to 042, shaking the wine glass gently. As the angel died, its corpse was cracking into dust, and the blood in the glass was quickly evaporating.

  It seems that an unknown force is exerted on these bodies, constantly erasing their existence.

  "But emptiness cannot interfere with our decision. They need an entity to act, but in the same way, they can be found and captured if they possess the entity..."

  He said meaningfully, with a somewhat mad look, his eyes were extremely clear, and the old man had never been sober before, maintaining absolute sanity.

  But the more sensible the old man, 042 felt the more uncontrollable fear, not because of these sudden weirdness, but the old man who was still smiling in front of him.

Although I failed to gain power, my body was filled with secret blood, and my will was beaten by [God Baptism], enough to resist erosion, but even so, 042 still feels like a dead leaf in the storm, uncounted. The clear air current tore, almost collapsed.

  But under such a doomsday, the mortal old man still remains awake, even saying that he can smile at 042.

   "It has an angelic image, but it is abomination of false gods. I generally call them silent."

  The old man raised his index finger to his lips and said softly.

   "Shhh, keep quiet, everyone who tries to wake up the hidden object will be killed by them."

  Wailing and swinging swords, besides the corpses of the fallen angels, there are also the corpses of the demon hunters. The first surprise attack did suppress the angels, but with the passage of time, the cowardice of the mortals was completely revealed.

Like hell, the broken limbs and internal organs were mixed with broken bones and fell to the bottom. At this time, 042 realized that the underground structure was like a deep well. All the flesh and blood were piled up at the bottom, and the blood had already flowed over him. His ankles swallowed him a little bit.

   "For all of this, you have already planned, haven't you? This is a hunt, a hunt for the silent."

  042 looked at all that hate, black arcs were still flashing, new angels appeared one after another, the old man deliberately told himself all those hidden things, in order to attract these silent people to come.

  According to the past, they would secretly kill all the insiders, but this time these terrible nightmares faced Lorenzo Medici, he had already calculated all this, and sent the Shangda Pi demon hunters to guard here.

  The demon hunters gathered in this deep well, burning their power, until they saw the arrival of the Silent in that future and launched a surprise attack.

   "Yes, how ironic, the hunter has become a prey at this moment."

  The old man kicked a delicate head away and wandered in a pool of blood.

   "No...this is not just your purpose, right? The demon hunter may be able to resist for a while, but can't kill them completely." 042 shook his head, the old man in front of him was unfamiliar and terrifying.

   "Yes, I guess they are a kind of spiritual existence. We just killed their bodies, but as long as they want, they can create new bodies again and continue to fight."

  The black arc light was still flickering, and the falling corpses piled up around the old man. For a while, the two seemed to be standing on top of the corpse mountain and corpse sea.

   "Then what do you want to do?" 042 asked puzzledly, all of which happened too quickly for him to think too much.

It seems that except for the Master Lawrence, all the Shangtarian Demon Hunters gathered here to resist the Silents, but as the battle progresses, the Demon Hunters will not be able to support such a battle. They will die one after another until no one is left. , Until he and the old man were also killed.

  042 Can’t understand what the old man wants to do, do you want to die? Take so many demon hunters to die together? But isn't he going to lead the golden age? If it's not going to die, what does he want to do now? It's just that everyone will die here.

  "It was a long time ago. I encountered the Silent, but the interesting thing is that I failed to die. Instead, I survived and learned about their existence."

  The old man was like a bad guy, holding a wine glass, leaning against a corpse, and then speaking on his own.

   "Lorenzo Medici!"

  042 roared unbearably and clenched his fists. Under this extreme erosion, he was somewhat unable to contain the emotional fluctuations.

   "Don't be impatient, child, 011 is very strong. We still have a lot of time to tell the dust-covered stories." The old man smiled without anger.

"To put it briefly, after many experiments, I captured a silent person. I sealed it in a coffin made of holy silver. Holy silver seemed to be very effective in preventing the intrusion of the spirit body. It was shown to other people. I thought they could continue to explore the [boundaries] of this world like me, but unfortunately, they refused again, and this time it was stronger than ever.

  Everyone started to rebel against me. With my old age, all this is just like what I said before, and I became like this. "

  The old man said in anguish.

  "They called it the [Holy Grail], regarded it as the origin of demons, and spread these things, celebrating all of them on the day of carnival, thinking that humans had defeated demons.

I thought they were crazy, but later I found out that they were not crazy, they were just too greedy. With the advancing of the times and the development of human technology, the influence of demons on mankind is in fact less and less, even due to some unknown reason. , The demons themselves are declining, as if there are some existences that we don’t know about in the dark, and they are also hunting demons. "

  He raised his head and looked at the demon hunters who were fighting, his emotions were a bit mixed.

"Yeah, we have never thought about one thing. What happens when demons are eradicated? In fact, demons will still exist, but this time they have become greedy humans. The power of "is thrown into the fight against demons. Instead, their main enemy now is human beings, the countries that are constantly growing stronger."

   "I'm so stupid, 042, I shouldn't believe those guys, there is still some ridiculous hope for them, they are just pitiful living guys."

  The old man laughed at himself.

   "So is this all just a scam?"

  042 faintly knowing about the events of the day of carnival, the hunting sect captured the source of the demons and ended the history of humans and demons. In the end, was all this just a scam?

   "Almost. In fact, with the development of mankind, the threat of demons is gradually decreasing. Powerful weapons such as demon hunters should be used in other places, such as war..."

"However, we did have a few chances to end all of this. That is to study the [Holy Grail], to study these [silents] to figure out what they are and what they want to do, but They refused..." The old man sighed weakly, "They don't care about the golden age, they only care about their own power and power, and they don't want to be controlled by me.

  I thought I would be the savior of this world, but then I realized that in the eyes of those I want to protect, I was just a tyrant who was extremely greedy for power. "

  042 was silent, with a little sadness in his eyes, as if he could understand the thoughts of the old man in front of him, and the old man seemed to have noticed these, and then laughed at him.

"After constantly getting old, I have also become this ridiculous appearance... I finally made a deal with the church, gave up all power, and stayed here, but before that I had a precious time to deal with these Something was studied.

I found in the "Apocalypse" a power somewhat similar to that of the Silent One, a power that did not know when it was sealed up. According to the notes on the "Revelation", I only know that the guy who sealed this power is called Ai Deren Levien, there are very few people who can read the Book of Revelation and leave notes in the entire history of the church, at least at the level of the Pope to do this, but I did not find this after consulting the classics. Human existence.

  It’s very interesting, right, 042, but what’s more interesting is the power hidden by Adren Levien. "

I don’t know when the falling blood has already spread over the knees, and the witchers are still fighting hard, but it is clear that they have fallen into the wind. Under the pile of blood, the evaporation of the blood pool under my feet was obviously much slower.

  The old man walked towards 042 and said slowly as he walked.

   "He called that power Gabriel."

   "Gabriel?"

   "Well, a very interesting power. It is interesting to the extent that it is somewhat similar to the nature of the silent, but it is different, but the main point is that it can make the human will shuttle between different bodies."

   "Shuttle between the bodies?"

"Yes, according to my research, in the description of alchemy, everyone has a strange spiritual space, called [Gap], where our consciousness, soul, and spirit are hidden... In fact, it doesn’t matter what it is called. Now, this power is to shuttle and change in the meantime."

  042 realized something faintly, and stepped back slowly, but at this moment the pool of blood under his feet boiled, the radiant light covered the wall of the well, and countless inscriptions were shining around.

   "We are running out of time, in order to recreate the Well of Ascension, and to collect so much blood of the Holy Grail... This is the last thing I can do."

  The old man said and loosened the wine glass, all the blood mixed together, the old eyes deepened, and then he took off his coat with a short dagger in his hand.

  The old man’s body is engraved with the same alchemy matrix as 042’s body. Similarly, the old man’s alchemy matrix is ​​incomplete, and there is no secret blood in his body.

"I reflected on my failures and attributed these to the aging of mankind. Mankind is so fragile. I am so strong, but I still can't resist the erosion of time. Such a golden age will not last long. If you die, it will also come to an end, so...I need immortality, child, I need to make this great golden age eternal."

  The old man reached out his hand and grabbed 042's wrist, and said to him without emotion.

   "You can understand, you, like me, are also yearning for the golden age, right?"

  Faced with the old man’s words, 042 couldn’t say anything, just felt a deep fear.

  Lorenzo Medici is a human being, as a pure human, and with pure will.

  He is really terrible, all of this is in his layout right now, as he said, he wants to see the golden age too much, so he will do whatever it takes to create the present situation.

  Lorenzo Medici is not a monster, but it is far more terrifying than a monster.

   "To kill a monster, to transform into a monster more terrifying than it."

  Lorenzo Medici said so, and then he waved a dagger and cut it heavily on his neck, blood spilling over his chest.

  As he moved the blade, the scars depicted connected the tedious alchemy matrix together. It was only at this moment that the alchemy matrix was truly completed, and there was an abnormal glow on the dark lines.

   "You... want to be a demon hunter."

  At present, 042's mind is completely blank, and there is no fear or panic at all.

   "Yes, but unfortunately I failed to perform the [God Baptism]. This ceremony is controlled by those guys, otherwise I'm really curious about what I will see."

  Lorenzo Medici looked at the direction of nothingness and said faintly, but then he let out a hoarse laugh.

   "However, this ritual is nothing, right? I'm Lorenzo Medici, I don't need any [God Baptism]."

  042 nodded stiffly. Of course, the old man in front of him doesn't need it anymore. He is a pure human, with pure will, and can give up everything for the sake of everything he thinks.

Lorenzo Medici is too old, so old that this fragile body can't bear the normal secret blood implantation, so he planned all this, and now the only prerequisite for becoming a demon hunter is secret blood. Isn't the tumbling blood under your feet a blood that is stronger than the secret blood?

  "As long as I drink these sublimated'keys', I will become a demon hunter." He said.

  042 looked at the **** old man, as if he was about to vomit his internal organs, his voice trembled.

   "So, the next step is to take my body, right?"

042 I already know what Lorenzo Medici is going to do. His old body and mortal will can’t support for too long. He can only pin his hopes here and use his power to get rid of that alienation at the moment of becoming a demon hunter. An old body, so that Lorenzo Medici will be immortal, this terrible guy will continue to chase the golden age.

"Yes."

   "Will I die?"

"It is accurate to say that your will will be annihilated by me, but from the commentary, your consciousness will remain more or less, and will slightly affect me, so the more body you occupy, the more this power will make people. Lost yourself," Lorenzo Medici asked immediately after answering, "Are you afraid?"

   "Of course, I'm going to die after all... It feels weird, thinking about me these two years, is it just a domestic animal in captivity for you?"

   "Almost, so are you going to resist me? 042."

The two pairs of eyes met each other, Lorenzo Medici’s expression was indifferent, and from this moment there was no more expression at all, but in his eyes, the trembling child mustered the courage to force the order Calm yourself.

  The silence lasted for a while between the two, but now it seemed extremely long.

   "Is the golden age really beautiful?" 042 broke the silence and asked.

   "Perhaps, after all, I haven't seen it either, but...the monster didn't have a seat in that era." Lorenzo Medici replied.

  "Is that so? What about my friends? Thinking about it, I have nothing to worry about in my life. After thinking about it, they are the only ones left."

   "047 and 016?"

   "Ah, do you remember it."

"Well, this is of course, but... if we can really usher in the golden age, then everyone's wishes may be realized. After all, the monsters are gone, and the church no longer needs you. You want to do it. Do whatever you want, and chase what you desire."

"Really?"

  "I don’t know, but what I know is that if the demons are not eradicated, then the golden age will not come, and there will be more and more tragedies, just like that stupid man.

If there are no demons, you should run with 047 and 016 on the bank of the Tiber now. If there are no demons, that stupid person will not die. Maybe I can really become friends with him. If there is no demons, then I won’t. There will be so many tragedies.

  If there are no demons..."

   "Then killing all the demons can stop these tragedies from happening?"

   "I don't know... but I always have to try. If I don't try, what is the difference from those depressed pigs?"

Everything fell silent again, the boy lowered his head, his face reflected in the boiling pool of blood, sad, scared, happy...The boy didn't know what he was thinking now, until he slowly raised his head again, his eyes The will under the pupil is as strong as iron.

  "If the golden age is really so beautiful..."

"if……"

  The boy roared angrily, as if roaring can drew away the fear in his heart.

  "Take everything you want!

  Lorenzo Medici! "
