Ember Gun

   Chapter 571

  The composition of the members on this ship is quite complicated. They come from different forces and have different purposes. Some are not even human, but now they are all staying on this ship in harmony and moving forward together.

The people at the stove, they also represent these structures. Seleuc is the ordinary mortal, knows nothing, is the target of protection, Lorenzo is the dead soul from the hunting sect, carrying the old days The glory of the epidemic doctor is the fanatical embodiment of scholars, stubbornly chasing the truth.

  Then Shrike is probably the representative of cleansing organs, the will of human beings to struggle. This is why he must participate. He has the power to know and the power to decide.

  The breathing sound was a little hoarse, and the successive traumas almost killed the fragile mortal of Shrike, but he finally survived. His pupils opened in the gap between the bandages, and he stared at Watson.

   Another guy with the power Gabriel, like Lorenzo, is also a survivor of the old order, a man in ashes.

  However, she is obviously much stronger than Lorenzo. She and Lawrence are somewhat similar, and they are completely free from the limitations of the body. The emptiness of the will can freely shuttle on any body.

  Lorenzo is still far behind these, but no one knows whether he will achieve this level in the future.

Recalling the confession between Lorenzo and Watson before, the shrike looked at Lorenzo at this moment, and there was an unspeakable sense of strangeness. I remember the last time there was such a sense of strangeness, or he discovered that this powerful thug was the demon hunter. Time, and then now, Lorenzo revealed another secret that had been hidden.

   Such an amazing power, it has been hidden under the eyes of the cleansing organs, and has not been discovered by anyone.

  Shrike’s thoughts were a little confused, and the trauma and psychological pressure on his body made him a little hard to think. The whispering whispers sounded in his ears, as if a ghost was talking about something.

  This is the erosion from the sea of ​​silence, the erosion from Him. Although the crisis has been resolved, these crazy aftermaths still affect everyone.

  【He is a traitor, he has concealed it from you for so long. 】

  【This action is false, you are all deceived. 】

  【Lorenzo Holmos is the enemy...】

  The whispers echoed in Shrike’s ears, his pupils were congested, and his heart accelerated uncontrollably.

  He looked at Lorenzo behind the stove, and met those gray-blue eyes.

   After a few seconds of silence, Shrike said slowly.

   "My thoughts... are not reliable anymore."

   Suspicion, greed, madness... They are like maggots growing in the shadows, gnawing at the mind of the shrike little by little.

  "This is the influence of erosion. You will have hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. These things chase you, cause the dark side of your heart, and make your emotions fluctuate." Lorenzo said.

"I know……"

  Shrike's words paused again,

In his eyes, Lorenzo's figure became hideous. The sharp claws broke through the flesh and became a twisted monster, but in the next second, he changed back to his ordinary appearance. It seemed that everything just now was just It's just an illusion.

   "It looks like I am late."

  A new voice sounded. For others, this voice was a little strange, but it passed into Shrike’s ears, but it caught his nightmarish memories.

   "It's not too late."

Frocky walked out of the darkness, his figure rickety as before, and traces of alienation can be clearly seen at the ends of his limbs. Judging by the erosion indicators of the Black Mountain Hospital, he will soon become a madman. .

  He should have fallen into madness, but as he came into contact with the erosion again, he continued the erosion process at that time, and his consciousness got a little relief.

  This is the experience gained from William. Lorenzo doesn't know how long Frocky can support, but he estimates that this guy will not fall down before reaching the end of the world.

   "Mr. Holmes."

  Frocky saluted Lorenzo, smiling on his rugged face.

   "Thank you for contributing to this great voyage."

  Speaking, he found a place by the stove to sit down, and looked at the people around him wantonly with bloodshot eyes.

  Although Frocky was crazy along the way, he knew everything that happened outside, but he couldn't control his body, his consciousness was imprisoned in [Gap], and he could only witness these silently.

  Therefore, all of you here at Frocky are familiar with it. Even a weird monster like the Epidemic Doctor did not shock him.

  Lorenzo did not speak, in his eyes Frocky was a very strange and congenial person.

  In the previous naval battle, before Lorenzo had time to tell anything, Frocky knew what Lorenzo meant. He drove the Chenhui Advance to advance and fight, as if he was a member of the team.

But in later thoughts, Lorenzo suddenly realized that this was just because Frocky also yearned for the end of the world. The situation right now is what this madman desires most. A journey without turning back, they will either die on the road or will The last vacancy on the chart is filled.

  That's why they are so in harmony.

   "Ah...this is the first time I have gone so deep into the sea of ​​silence, let alone get rid of the chase of these monsters."

  Frocky looked up at the starry sky and said obsessively.

The others are silent, and the atmosphere of the conversation is not good. They are walking towards death step by step, and they have no good solutions. Everyone seems to be oppressed by something weighing a thousand tons, with a gloomy face, even Fire light is also difficult to illuminate.

"We have reached the middle ring of the sea of ​​silence. Unlike the outer ring, the outer ring is blocked by gray clouds and storms, and those monsters are at work. The middle ring is this endless glacier. The deeper the temperature, the lower the temperature. , The ice will become harder."

  Frocky knew very well that these people were looking for their own purpose. They needed to be the navigators themselves and lead these people to move in the sea of ​​silence. This was a win-win situation. Frocky had no reason to refuse this.

  "This is a perfect defensive ring. Even if someone passes storms and monsters, they will find it difficult to move forward in the face of extreme cold and ice."

  "Chenhui Advance is regarded as the most advanced icebreaker. Although it is seriously damaged, it should be able to move forward for a long time." Lorenzo said.

   "If it's really that simple, it will be easy to solve."

  Frocky said, and he blended into the conversation naturally.

  On his side, Watson was separated from Froggy and Shrike. No one knew whether he hadn't noticed the existence of Shrike, or if he had noticed it, but deliberately ignored it.

  Shrike stared at Frocky, his appearance was completely different from the memory, but his words and expressions were still so familiar.

  【This is your mortal enemy. 】

  【He is right in front of you. 】

  More voices echoed, Shrike couldn't help clenching his fists, and Frocky turned into a monster in front of him, a monster like Lorenzo.

The mortal Seleuc still felt very cold, she moved her position and moved closer to the heater. She didn't listen much to the conversations of the people. After all, she was a powerless mortal, and all Seleuc could do was to listen. Command, give your part at the critical moment.

  The scholar’s ​​epidemic doctor remained silent, and more eyes opened in the corners of his body, observing the surroundings.

  The divine Watson stared at the audience. It was really an interesting conversation. These people not only have different identities, but also different purposes, not to mention different enemies.

  Not long ago, Lorenzo had just started a battle with the epidemic doctor. The two men slaughtered frantically until they died, but now they are in the same boat, moving forward for the same purpose.

  This is not to say that hatred is gone, but because there is something more important than revenge.

But now a new hatred has joined it. Lorenzo is aware of the hatred between Shrike and Frocky. It is this anger that supports him to the present. The Shrike can easily let Frocky go before, only because of Froggy. Loki fell into madness, killing a mad man, and it did not satisfy the deformed desire for revenge.

   But now it's different, and Frocky wakes up.

"I haven't reached such a deep Jiehai, but with my understanding of Jiehai, I continue to go deeper. Not only the severe cold, but also the so-called erosion, it will also intensify. I am afraid that at that time, we will take a step forward. , Will lose part of the body."

  Froggy said and raised his hand. The bones of his palm have proliferated a lot, his nails are long and thin, and there are scratches on them. He tried to cut them off before, but it didn't take long to grow back.

   "Then... there are still things in the sea that I don't know, everything is far beyond the things of this era."

  Listening to his words, Lorenzo thought he was referring to him, but then Frocky’s words completely subverted his thinking.

   "Many machines that I haven't seen, they are far larger than the mechanical creations we know, but most of them have been broken, all are frozen in the sea, and turned into cold corpses."

  "Where did you see it." Lorenzo asked.

   "It's almost at the location of Central, under this piece of ice."

  Frocky said and laughed.

"It's like a battlefield here. Those things and dead people are the corpses of the war. They didn't know how long ago they fell asleep here... And the civilization involved in the war is far more advanced than us, and those machines are not Inervig at all. I can't even think of the big melting pot that can be built to pour such huge steel..."

  After Frocky finished speaking, he thought these people would show shocked expressions, but everyone was calm and seemed to have anticipated this situation.

   "If you come a few minutes early, you will probably know why this is."

  Lorenzo explained to Frocky.

  "The world is constantly reincarnation and iteration. The current civilization in the world may have declined after countless destructions. The glory of our past is unimaginable for mortals."

   He lowered his voice as he spoke, and Lorenzo recalled the scene from a long time ago.

  [God's baptism] dream.

  What a magnificent world that is, Lorenzo can hardly describe all of this in words, even if he tells people, most people will think that Lorenzo is an imaginary lunatic.

  Perhaps...this is true.

   Knowing so much, Lorenzo recalled [God Baptism] before realizing the connection between them.

  Cold ice grew on the deck, and the surrounding temperature dropped a lot. Lorenzo was sober because of the cold, he raised his head and saw the falling snow dust.

  Dense black smoke rose with the fading flames, hitting the corners and crushing the ice, the sound became more violent, as the Chenhui Advance deepened, the thickness of the ice layer also increased, and it became more difficult to move forward.

  "Is that so...it's quite interesting."

  Froggy was stunned when he heard Lorenzo's account, but he quickly recovered.

   "I didn't expect that the world is far more simple than the surface, but it doesn't matter anymore. If you think too much, you will have too many troubles."

   "You have such a good mentality." Lorenzo said.

"Fortunately, fortunately... the sea of ​​solitude is repelling us, it is preventing us from advancing, the ice will continue to thicken, we have to pay a higher price every step forward, and then the cold that follows. ."

  Frocky stretched out his hand, touching the falling snow and dust, the temperature was biting.

  These layers of obstacles bother mortals, so even after such a long time, no one knows the truth at the end of the world.

   "We might encounter some unbreakable ice, get trapped in this cold place, and die."

  "The reserves of lacquer antimony are still enough, we can finish this journey." Lorenzo said.

  He believes in Qi Qi and the technicians of the Perpetual Pump. The Chenhui Advance has gone through fierce battle after fierce battle, and none of these have defeated it.

   "What about the return trip?"

   Frocky asked suddenly.

  He showed a twisted smile, and his shriveled face was covered with cracks in the skin, like a decayed tree branch.

  "Returning......"

  He said the word again.

   "No one cares about this anyway, right? Everyone can arrive here, and it has been guaranteed that there will be no return. On the contrary, the return journey is the last thing to worry about."

  Frocky was sincerely happy, stubborn for so many years, and after life and death, he was finally about to lift the hazy veil of the sea of ​​silence.

  No one answered, and the scene was silent, except for the disturbing ice breaking in front.

  Indeed, it seems that most people don’t care much about the return journey.

  Whether it is an epidemic doctor, Lorenzo, Shrike, etc., they are all ready to die before setting sail, but the difference is that they don't care about their return journey, but they care about the return journey of another thing.

  The return journey of hope, someone must return to the outside world with hope and find a way to break the cycle of reincarnation.

  The epidemic doctor leaned aside indifferently, Watson was expressionless, Lorenzo was thinking about something, Shrike lowered his head and clenched his fists hard.

  Only innocent mortals were left leaning against the stove, Seleu felt dizzy and his body was cold.

   "I'm a little uncomfortable... I'm going back first."

  Seleu stood up swayingly, her consciousness was a little hazy, just a few steps away, a violent vibration came from the bow of the ship, during the shaking, Seleu almost fell, but was held by Watson.

   Watson looked down at the girl, she had lost consciousness and closed her eyes tightly.

   "She seems to have a cold."

   Watson touched her head and said.

The exhaustion of the battle, the injuries on her body, and the attack of the cold and the fire, among these monsters, Seleuc, as a mortal, is really hard to resist, and mortals like her occupy most of the boats, and they are all Will embark on a journey of no return with the monsters.

   "This is not a good thing, erosion will continue to affect her."

  Frocky said that he tried and made mistakes in Jihai many times, and he was very clear about the end of the illness here.

  Lorenzo didn't move when he saw this, his brows furrowed, he didn't know what he was thinking.

  Wason thought for a while, she picked up her crown, put it on Seleu's head, and looked at the girl pityingly.

   "I hope this makes you feel better."
