Strange sirens rang again and again in the Everlasting Pump. It felt like a festival. Everyone heard the wind and ran all the way. Apart from the fear and nervousness on their faces, this really looked like a festival held in the Everlasting Pump. God's birthday celebration inside the pump.
Although he was lying in a cage, this level of confinement actually had no effect on Lorenzo. It was just a formality. He looked outside the iron door with some curiosity. He was curious about what else was there. Out of containment.
Original Sin Armor?Or an experimental demon.
But before Lorenzo could think more, a brief hallucination flashed in his eyes, and he saw the scarlet figure walking in the broken [gap].
It was an indescribable visual phenomenon, but Lorenzo immediately subconsciously determined that it was a [gap]... He was walking between [gaps].
It was almost an instinctive reaction, and the alarm bell from the bottom of his heart warned Lorenzo. Without much thought, the dense and hard scales wrapped Lorenzo, and then easily tore open the iron prison that bound him.
Steel cracked and lightning flashed.
This time the armor did not completely wrap Lorenzo, and it seemed much lighter than before, and this time Lorenzo was no longer as unprepared as before.
The familiar Winchester and nail sword were placed in the other corner of the cell, and they were brought in together with Lorenzo.
So Lorenzo picked up the familiar weapon, swung the nail sword, and easily opened the sealed door.
The entire corridor was covered in blood-red lights, like a twisted hell, and dull gunshots kept ringing out.
Closing his eyes, he felt as sharp as ever before, his perception was spread to the maximum, and Lorenzo gradually became aware of the source of erosion in the chaotic interference.
When he opened his eyes again, blazing white fireworks surged beneath him. Without any hesitation, Lorenzo ran wildly in the direction he sensed.
The Perpetual Pump has entered a lockdown state, and all the gates are firmly closed. Lorenzo is like running wildly in a maze. There will always be a gate blocking his way at the end of a certain passage. He tries to open the gate, but Obviously, the thick steel cannot be defeated so easily.
But at this moment of helplessness, the door opened, and the blazing wind and the erosion of despair rushed directly towards his face. Lorenzo tightened his grip on the nail sword and prepared for the next deadly battle. But surprisingly, there were only a group of wounded soldiers behind the door.
Judging from the familiar attire, they are the security team.
Most of them were wounded and looked very tired, but the moment he saw Lorenzo, he still raised his gun with great effort, alert to this dangerous demon hunter.
"Relax, it's me."
Lorenzo removed the armor and revealed his face.
"Witcher?"
One of the team members said slowly, but then another voice sounded anxiously.
"Mr. Holmes?"
The voice was a bit hoarse and sounded from behind the team.
Looking across the crowd, Lorenzo saw the man lying on a simple stretcher.
"Joy?"
Not caring about the guns pointed at him, Lorenzo walked straight over, and then Joey's condition came into his eyes.
Joey was really not in good shape at the moment. He had multiple wounds on his body, his left arm was burned, and his whole body was bloody, as if he had been dragged out of a pool of blood.
"what happened?"
Lorenzo asked anxiously, how could there be such a big change in such a short period of time.
"Demon, a demon has broken through the containment. That ghost is so powerful that we can't suppress it. Now it's wandering downstairs."
Joey said, coughing up blood.
"It released the demons in other containment rooms, and now it's completely out of control down there."
"Then I'll deal with it."
Lorenzo said that it is completely normal for a witcher to hunt monsters.
"No, wait for support. That demon... is very different. Our preparations set the entire centralized containment area on the lower level as a war zone."
Joey said the information he knew, Lorenzo would definitely die if he went down now.
"Lie down Joey, I'm going to prove something."
Lorenzo shook his head, as if something was pushing him in the dark, that scarlet figure.
He was about to leave, but a bloody hand grabbed him.
"This is the key to the door...and remember to listen to the announcement."
Joey stuffed the blood-stained items in, including a weird-shaped key and a familiar communicator.
"The entire lower level has been isolated. You need to go down through the elevator shaft. This is currently the safest way to sneak in."
Joey waved his hand.
"Good luck, Mr. Holmes."
……
After watching Joey leave, the gate fell again to block the line of sight.
It seems that no one expected that the demon would break out at the core. At the beginning of its establishment, the Perpetual Pump was protected by heavy force. Not to mention the vast industrial area and the fortress-like mechanical courtyard, the only The location that can be fully invaded is the large lift platform leading to the surface, but there is also strong firepower as protection to prevent it from entering silently.
Lorenzo was a little confused as to why this loss of control occurred. How could just an out-of-control demon cause such a big disturbance?Any security guard can easily kill a bunch of monsters with that terrifying weapon...
different……
Lorenzo suddenly remembered Joey's warning that the monster was something different, a different monster.
It's really more and more curious.
There were still blood stains on the ground from when Joey passed by. Lorenzo found the so-called lift shaft after walking for a few minutes.
The nail sword pried open the closed lift door. What followed was not an idle lift, but an empty lift shaft. Looking into the darkness, Lorenzo could barely distinguish the remains of steel.
In order to ensure that the monsters would not invade from this direction, Joey and the others cut the cable after they came out, and the wreckage blocked the exit below.
Lorenzo jumped directly into it, wrapped in hard armor, and then thrust the nail sword into the wall, causing dazzling sparks as it descended.
Work your way down until you reach the bottom.
After kicking open the damaged wreckage, Lorenzo climbed out with difficulty, and it was only then that he realized how bad the situation below was.
The demonic erosion echoed in this space, and neutralizing liquid continued to sprinkle from above the head, filling the entire corridor with stagnant water.
Then there was the sound of rushing water.
Lorenzo suddenly turned his head and swung his sword, and then a demon exploded directly in front of his eyes. The sharp nail sword easily cut into the flesh and blood, and scorching pure flames surged out from the wound like a flash. The passing fireworks dissipated and collapsed.
The unburned corpse hit the water-logged ground. The monster didn't look strong, and even judging from the monster's size, it was somewhat malnourished.
There are steel nails nailed to the joints, which tightly block its movement. It is also for this reason that the demon's movements appear very cumbersome.
Is it this kind of monster that makes the containment area go out of control?Are you kidding me?
But suddenly there was more sound of rushing water, and countless demons rushed at the other end of the corridor. Their bodies were shining with bright metal. Like the demons Lorenzo had just killed, they also had steel nails on their bodies. nails, so they ran clumsily, and some even fell.
Winchester raised his eyes slowly, looking over the barrel of the gun and pointing at the monster at the end, but at the moment Lorenzo was about to pull the trigger, a heavier voice sounded, as if there was something huge, those monsters Howling... They don't seem to be attacking, they are running away.
Then Lorenzo saw a ferocious arm grabbing a demon behind the corner. The demon screamed. The monster that once gave humans nightmares was now facing nightmares. Although it had no intelligence at all, it was The biological fear gnaws at it.
After it was dragged into the corner, a horrifying sound of shattering echoed, as if steel mouthparts bit it off and chewed it up, savoring the taste of blood.
Bones were crushed and muscles were chewed.
Even listening to the sound that made his teeth ache, Lorenzo could imagine what happened after that corner. Under the strange pressure, he pulled the trigger, and the scattered bullets brought out blazing white fireworks, and the water-filled ground Reflecting the surging light flow, it kept moving forward, illuminating the darkness at the end.
All the demons on the path were penetrated, as if they were hit by flowing magma. Their flesh and blood burned and withered, leaving only the hard bones. And behind all that was the towering figure slowly exposed. With its appearance, the ground The accumulated water gradually began to boil, and a faint mist rose.
It was a monster, a monster that Lorenzo had never seen.
It seems to carry the blazing heat of the scorching sun, and the surging temperature evaporates the accumulated water on the ground into mist.
Lorenzo suddenly understood why the neutralizing fluid couldn't stop overflowing. This was not only suppressing the demon's erosion, but also lowering the temperature.
It seemed to see Lorenzo, its eyes radiating white light stared closely at Lorenzo, and it made a distant low cry, with a slight trembling, just like laughter.
"hello."
An almost crazy sound sounded.
Lorenzo didn't know why. His breathing couldn't help but become heavier, as if he was being oppressed by something. It seemed that the air here was like lead. He was the drowned dead, and this was his last struggle.
The battle started almost at the moment when the vision came into contact. The figure shrouded in mist stepped on the metal ground, carrying high temperature.
Lorenzo did not attack rashly. The demon hunter frowned, his reason still fighting against erosion. He stepped back, but at the same time, the shotgun in his hand kept firing, connecting the two with a blazing stream of light.
The flaming bullet hit the demon under the mist, and the kinetic energy brought by the impact caused the mist to subside a bit, lifting a veil, so that Lorenzo could barely distinguish the appearance of the demon.
It was like devouring the scorching sun, reddish light was released under the flesh and blood, and flowing fire surged in the cruel mouthparts.
Lorenzo did not panic and continued to retreat, firing continuously in an attempt to test out more of the monster's characteristics.
"Holy silver is effective...it has strong recovery power and high temperature on the body surface."
Cold eyes watched the effect of each shot. The bullet of the holy silver sank deeply into the flesh. This obviously stung the demon. It made a twisted roar. For this reason, it accelerated its pace and tried to kill Loren quickly. Zuo.
"It hurts!"
The sound was sharp like a child's scream, but soon the sounds overlapped, as if in some damn nursery, those naughty children were crying and howling.
Lorenzo now kind of wished that he was accompanying a group of naughty children instead of this monster with a naughty boy's voice.
"What the hell!"
Lorenzo cursed angrily and dodged into the surging corner. The monster hit the wall directly, leaving a clear dent in the solid metal wall. The force was so terrifying that Lorenzo couldn't help but feel palpitations. .
He began to understand why Joey said it was a little different. Lorenzo could observe it better at such a close distance, and could barely distinguish a strange human face on the demon's neck, but it was superimposed layer upon layer. The flesh and blood are squeezed together, which may be the original appearance of this monster.
Lifting the nail sword directly, the strong armor covered Lorenzo's body, arming him into an indestructible knight.
From bottom to top, the monster's huge size was compared with the narrow corridor, which destined it to be unable to evade quickly. The nail sword easily cut through its flesh and blood, and the tissue in contact with the holy silver was as if it had been struck by strong acid. It covered the general area and caused a burning pain.
Lorenzo's strength is obvious to all. With the blessing of secret blood, he is actually a humanoid demon, and it is extremely dangerous. The slash not only cuts through the flesh and blood, but also cuts off the bones and tendons, and even because Using too much force, the nail sword cut into the iron wall, leaving a hideous scar.
This sword almost cut off the entire leg, and the monster's huge body shook slightly, and then leaned towards Lorenzo, blood dripping, making a chaotic sound of bubbles exploding.
The nail sword in his hand was so hot that Lorenzo could hardly hold the blade, and before his eyes, the demon released light.
It was glowing blood, it dripped into the stagnant water on the ground, and immediately caused a boil.
The twisted head looked at Lorenzo, and there seemed to be a strange confusion in the bright eyes, as if it didn't understand why Lorenzo was attacking it.
The huge palm rested on the wall, and blood flowed along it. The high temperature burned the metal red, and the hot steam surged.
"very hungry……"
it said, then held out its hand.
Another sharp sword light flashed, and the big hand was split in two from the middle, and the bones and flesh drooped down weakly, revealing the demon hunter behind it, and the demon seemed to be slow to react, it was stunned. Looking at the shattered palm, he then let out a child-like scream.
The pressure-filled erosion, the eardrum-cutting scream, and the rising temperature made this place like a scarlet hell, with only Lorenzo and the demon left.
This time Lorenzo did not step back to test more, but strode forward, the armor protecting him, which is the strongest shield.
"It's so similar..."
He muttered to himself.
The demon hunter had a strange idea at this moment, not even a strange idea, but a blasphemous idea. The high temperature of this demon was so similar to the extreme temperature of Michael the demon hunter.
High-temperature blood flowed in that terrible wound. It dripped onto the ground and melted into pits one after another.
