Wasteland Echoer.

Chapter 98 "Unintentional" ending

"Red Hair, you!" Atwood looked at his abdomen in horror.

The crimson blood flowing as smoothly as a stream was soaking his yellow leather jacket and jeans. After a few seconds, the blood even stained his high leather boots red.

"The God of the Forest has blessed me!"

"Accelerate the process of annihilating all ugliness and evil."

"Red Hair" had a proud smile on his lips, and murmured a spell constructed in the language of the ancient Zhne Empire.

He raised the "silver piece" crystal in his hand high, almost level with the center of his eyebrows.

Under the surge of magic power, the original pink crystal position turned into a tube-red color like a tomato.

As a faint green light splashed from the "Silver Crystal", the rectangular metal sheet was instantly penetrated by several small holes with a burning breath and burnt color.

Even the "red-haired" eyes turned into pure green that fluoresced like a forest wolf.

The dark underground hall of "Wells Path" that lost its power support looked particularly eerie, but it revealed a sense of "lawful good" that only a knight of justice could exude.

"Red...hair...ha..."

Atwood pointed at Red Hair's nose, intending to scold him severely, but the blood pouring out of his mouth regurgitated into his throat and esophagus, causing him to feel a burning sensation in his esophagus and a choking sensation in his throat. Suddenly no more sounds could be made.

In addition, Wu Xinren's burning liquid has the ability to self-replicate after contact with blood. The burning liquid flowing along the blood vessels and up the throat instantly corroded his throat, making him only make a "gurgling" sound like water. It is the "purring" sound made by cats when guarding food.

At this time, Atwood understood that he was about to mutate into a heartless person, and he thought of two life-saving potions, "Sequence No. 13" and "Sequence No. 16".

After coming into contact with an unintentional burning liquid that is not very strong, or being scratched and bitten by it, as long as the medicine is injected within two hours, the low-toxicity burning liquid in the medicine and other drugs that can control the mental state and not collapse will take effect at the same time. This changes the body's judgment of the burning liquid from "acceptance and combination" to "rejection", thereby ensuring that the body does not mutate.

But only if it’s “not strong”!
  Just as Atwood took out the "Tiger K01" pistol with his trembling right hand and pressed it against "Red Hair"'s forehead, he strangled his throat with his left hand to get some relief, and moved his body outwards staggeringly on the concrete floor. At this time, he was surprised to find that the blood gushing out of his body seemed to be more violent than any human mutation he had seen before.

"You...gugu...did...what?" Atwood trembled and choked out a few words.

"I said it, leader. It has been soaked in unintentional burning liquid. In fact, when making this dagger, a lot of burning liquid was mixed as raw material. Do you remember? Your original wish was to let us use it as a last resort. You should commit suicide when the time comes to prevent the many dirty and dirty things you have done from being known to others. This is the arrangement of the goddess of fate, and it is also the result I obtained using Eastern divination yesterday." "Red Hair" responded without any panic.

His eyes became sharp, as if he had truly become a wolf that had been dormant beside Atwood for many years!

"Divination?"

After Atwood reluctantly finished the word, he suddenly felt as if his body had been drained of all its strength by a water pump, and even his spirit began to feel tired and panicked.

The sound of his heart beating violently intensified this emotional fear, and his vision began to blur quickly. Everything in front of him seemed to be covered with a crimson screen, which looked particularly beautiful but lifeless and easily made people irritable. stand up.

"Oriental divination is called 'Yi'. The two basic units of Yin and Yang called 'Yao' constitute everything. The three 'Yao' are combined to form a basic 'Bagua', and the two hexagrams constitute There are a total of sixty-four hexagrams, representing different results. The result I got from divination yesterday was 'loss', which is of course aimed at you." "Hongmao" casually threw the dagger aside in his hand and continued to use similar shapes. The teacher’s identity explained:

"As the 'main' person, you have an absolute advantage. Energy, food, firearms, and even our lives are all affected by you, and even controlled by you. You use your absolute power to cause harm to us,' Lan Mao' died under your desire. But you should know that the 'main' party should give more benefits to the 'secondary' party to obtain the interests of both parties. Your men, our two brothers, the lost ones Big brother, as well as the human uncles in our special operations team, should all be non-zero-sum games. But you adopt a zero-sum game strategy."

"I..." Atwood's throat could no longer make any more sounds, and even his standing body began to shake slightly, and his body and clothes were rendered particularly bright red by the flow of blood.

The exposed parts of his body also began to turn pink and white, losing color, and even the blood vessels that began to flow with burning liquid became prominent, which was particularly obvious.

"The Matthew Effect is not everything you should control. If you have more, you will make him rich, and if you have less, you will even take away the little you have. You are just a human being, a [Hunter] professional at best. You are not qualified to plunder us. And if you do this, then 'lesser' people like me will rob you and make you pay the price you deserve." "Red Hair"'s tone was low and angry, as if he wanted to bite Atwood directly to death. .

He took advantage of the moment when Atwood was shaking and about to fall, snatched the "Tiger K01" pistol from his hand, and shot him in the heart.

Ping!
  The bullet stopped at Atwood's chest and then fell vertically, leaving only a small bullet mark.

"Red Hair" looked carefully, and his chest was already shining with a light like molten iron formed after melting steel.

This is an absolute sign that humans have completely mutated into heartless people!

The heart is the absolute difference between humans and heartless people!
  "Chief, although you may have a little bit of consciousness left. But I am sure that you have not practiced more magic power. It is impossible for you to keep your consciousness awake, but then again, your consciousness should have been corrupted by desire. Although There is a high probability that you will mutate in the direction of a alien mindless person, but I will make you look embarrassed, for sure. And, in front of this mechanical body called Luo Nie. If we are judged by the goddess of fate for doing evil, it is okay. It's okay." "Red Hair" said, walking into the corner of the hall, where the communicator was located to communicate with the "Gentleman Lost" above, and continued:

"You just seduced Hit and used the breath of [Hunter] to confuse the lost child. But you don't know, 'Blue Hair' and I are actually the same person. One soul shares two bodies. This is [Twins] ] professional characteristics. Although a body will grow back within a certain period of time after death, if it is hidden properly, it will be regarded as twins at most. In fact, this and the upper-level profession [Watcher] are still considered rare professions, second only to the legend The [Orderer] profession may not exist in China."

"Red Hair" looked at Atwood, whose blood was completely gushing out. He had lost most of his strength and was lying on the scarlet ground, squirming unconsciously. He breathed a sigh of relief, relieved his inner excitement, and pressed the button on the wall. .

"Brother the Lost One, are you there?"

"Brother the Lost One, are you there?"

Two or three seconds later, a noisy sound of electricity passed through, and there was a response from the other side.

"What's wrong, brother 'Red Hair'? Did the leader's ceremony succeed? The other lost people and several team members on our side were knocked to the ground by the force of the temple explosion just now. I guess they are dead, you just I didn’t see it, but the temple of the God of the Forest just exploded when we explored inward, as if it was swallowed by an invisible black hole and then released energy. It looks very gorgeous."

"I don't want to watch the fireworks or the show. Can you come down? The leader is infected by the burning liquid. It seems that he was infected after jumping to a different space. There may be Wuxin people over there, or the forest god himself may also be Wuxin people. Now he "My heart has also become a machine. I tried it just now and it is extremely strong." There was probably a little urgency in "Hongmao"'s tone.

"Okay, protect yourself, I'll be down right away!" The tone of "Gentleman Lost" seemed even more urgent than "Red Hair".

Boom, boom, ta-da-da.

After the sound of the vertical elevator running and the opening of the small iron door, the "Gentleman Lost" trotted into the lobby.

The first thing that caught his eye was Luo Nie, who was standing straight to the side, half of his body already wrapped by the small wriggling branch-like tentacles extending from the "Replacement Eye" that glowed alternately in purple and green.

He stared expressionlessly at the location of the broken training cabin, without any expression or movement, like a real machine.

Then he looked to the right, and the man who was squirming in a pool of scarlet blood and whose body was slightly swollen like a bear was Atwood. At this time, his "red blood vessels" extending outward from his scorching heart had already covered his white body, and his upper body clothes had been corroded due to the overflow of burning liquid.

"Chief!" "Gentleman Lost" strode towards Atwood.

His hands surged with the pure green magic power belonging to vegetation, trying in vain to reverse Atwood's transformation into a heartless man.

"Chief, chief. The forest god has abandoned you, I will not, I will save you, you should..."

The last unknown word with emotion was stuck in the throat of "Gentleman Lost", and he stopped abruptly.

He first felt a cool feeling running through his brain. Because the pain and touch of the Lost Man were slightly weakened by the burning fluid and "mysterious extraordinary power" like the Wuxin Man, he only felt a needle pricking his head. I felt weak all over and collapsed.

Then his eyes became dark, and he left this world forever.

"Sure enough, it works. The leader's gun has an extra bonus against the lost. It's because of the silver and the magic source power, right?" "Red Hair" smiled and blew on the smoke-emitting barrel of the gun.

"It seems that the biggest threat here has disappeared. Mr. Ronie, I am sorry that the five lost children died in the hands of this old fox Atwood. But you are innocent, and there is no problem for me. Value. Hit and the two Lost children are locked in rooms Z-58 and Z-59 behind this small door. The other team members are performing tasks at the forest border. You can take a few of them out of here and go Go to the Green Forest where you should go. By the way," "Red Hair" seemed to have thought of something, and snapped his fingers and said:
  "I don't know if you can hear what I say in this state. How about returning the control of the 'Replacement Eye' to you. As long as you are willing, you can control yourself. Although in the future, there will be a difference between mechanical consciousness and human consciousness. It’s better to find a balance, but it’s better than now, isn’t it?”

Immediately afterwards, "Hongmao"'s hands were surging with high-temperature, bright red light, and he muttered the ancient Zhne Empire language:
  "The God of the Forest bless me!"

"The power of fire melts everything!"

He surged the power of fire all over his body at the tip of his right index finger, and then pressed hard on the purple button on Luo Nie's chest.

The white-hot mist gradually rose, and the purple button melted instantly.

At the same time, the tentacles covering Luo Nie's body like branches also retracted to the position of his eyeballs and heart, as if they had never appeared.

With a flash of blue light, Luo Nie's eyes returned to their pure sapphire-like state, except for the "Edelweiss" and "Double-Headed Eagle" tattoos.

After the sound of mechanical gears and noisy whispers gradually subsided, Luo Nie finally woke up from a foggy dream.

After everything in front of him gradually became clear from blur, the memory of everything Atwood had done to him and those children was instantly poured into his mind.

"what!"

After holding her head and screaming in pain, Luo Nie calmed down.

After shaking his head vigorously, he organized the familiar but unfamiliar words in the Zine Empire language in his mind, and asked the "red hair" next to him:
  "Who are you? Why are you helping me?"

"Do you remember these two lines of poetry?" "Red Hair" said with a kind smile:
  "Winter in the mechanical world is the eternal future, and the new era will die in the night and ice. The blood-red crimson moon hangs high above the stars, and the night looks forward to the arrival of dawn."

"Dylan, you know Dylan. Are you from Hope Church too?" Luo Nie asked excitedly.

"I will tell you this question later, before we are out of danger. But now, don't you hope to annihilate Atwood with your own hands? He is about to mutate into a mutant Heartless!" "Red Hair" stretched out his right hand and pointed. "Heartless Atwood" was already struggling to stand up.

"The light of the mechanical spirit will not forgive him!" Luo Nie said angrily.

At a speed that had not existed in this wasteland world for hundreds of years, his hands formed a spirit without a spell. In less than a second, his hands had condensed into a bright light of red and white.

He looked at Atwood with disgust, who had already struggled to his feet. His body had swelled to about three meters, and the blood vessels in his body protruded outward, even turning into tiny red "maggots" that were contracting the muscles that wrapped them. .

"Light of the Mechanical Spirit!" Luo Nie roared.

A mechanical light that was mixed with holiness and evil, like the force of angels and Satan working together, surged out from his hand and penetrated directly through Atwood's body.

Four or five seconds later, "Red Hair", who had recovered from the discomfort of the sudden bright light, looked at Luo Nie with a smile, and then opened the heavy small iron door behind him...

……

Four hours later.

The "Socra Special Operations Team" that lost Atwood lost all control like a piece of loose sand. After "Red Hair" announced to other team members that Atwood mutated into a Heartless Man and was executed, he brought out Hit, Sai and Rosen's operation went surprisingly smoothly.

There are even a few team members who are willing to actively cooperate with "Red Hair", and Luo Nie, who exudes a purple "evil" light.

The five people who took the vertical elevator to escape from the "Wells Trail Underground Space" drove Hit's "Brown Bear" tank to the edge of the Green Forest. The end of the "Wells Trail" was called The edge of the "rocky ruins".

After stopping the chariot, he breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes to rest for half a minute. After half a minute, Luo Nie looked at Hit, who was tortured to the point of dying in the back seat, as well as Rosen, who was supporting him, and Sai, who was silent, and felt something. The wonderful feeling of surviving a catastrophe.

He opened the car door, looked at the crimson moon above the forest, and felt the deepest darkness in the forest before dawn. He turned around and asked "Red Hair" who was riding in the car with him:
  "What's your name? Are you a lost person? Are you a member of the Church of Hope?"

"Indeed. I was ordered by the Cardinal of the Church of Hope to lurk in the Socra army, and then followed Atwood to become a member of the outer area special operations team. But I also hope that the group of lost people who are not traitors can get there first. By contacting the 'Daughter of the Mechanical Element', I also hope to prevent the 'Blood Night Ritual', which sacrifices the lives of people in a city and produces sinful hallucinations and dreams. Luonie, your goal is the same, although I want to I parted ways with you." "Red Hair" stroked his bright red hair, opened the car door, stood on the hard dirt road, and continued:

"My name is Oliver Yaruko, and I'm going to act alone. But Ronai, we will meet at Silent Heights. This is already at the edge of the Greenland Forest, and it only takes a few hours to drive to Silent Heights. .”

"Okay, good luck." Luo Nie said softly, walking towards the door of the back seat and caressing Sai's cheek, which looked a little flustered and tired.

"I also wish you good luck in finding the 'wisdom' sequence core." Oliver said.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Luo Nie with a smile and walked toward the outskirts of the Green Forest without looking back.

　The "Green Forest" chapter of Luo Nie is over, and then there is only the "Silent Highlands" chapter of Luo Nie.
