Angel Son of Tomorrow's Ark

That was after Luo Zhen left with Frost Star.

Amiya led Rhodes Island's elite team to search for the source of the herd in the chaotic battlefield.

Because of the indiscriminate bombing by W, the buildings here have collapsed and the terrain has become a mess.

They cleaned up carefully along the way, while continuing to move forward.

On the way, Ace was the first to say:

"There is no sign of increasing the number of herds, and there seems to be no unified command. Did that Mephisto give up resistance?"

Scout immediately replied, "Don't let your guard down."

"Those phantom crossbowmen also said that they should treat Mephisto as a madman who cannot communicate. He has been brainwashed by the leaders of the integration movement, so don't take chances."

Ace shrugged: "That's right."

They have all been in contact with the phantom crossbowmen and know that they are well-trained troops.

Especially the boy named Faust.

He was unexpectedly young, seemingly not even a few years older than Amiya.

At the same time, because of his serious injuries, he was still struggling to walk, and he couldn't hold the heavy crossbow he was good at.

Originally, based on his physical condition, he should avoid using Originium skills.

But he still insisted on coming in person, to see the man named Mephisto with his own eyes.

This obsession is genuine, Amiya and the others can't convince him.

Seeing this kind of boy, Ace was also quite embarrassed.

He said to Amiya beside him:

"Amiya, you should know, but I still want to remind you."

"That Faust boy, his attachment to Mephisto is extraordinary. Although he is cooperating with us now, depending on the situation, he may betray immediately."

The eyes under the Ace sunglasses are very serious:

"If you want to do it, I will do it. Don't look, I will solve everything."

Amiya shook her head: "Mr. Ace, please don't treat me like a child."

Amiya also had a serious expression, and said seriously:

"Normally, it's okay, but now it's on a mission. I am the commander of the mission, and I will bear all the responsibilities."

"I will keep the possibility of Faust's betrayal in mind. No matter how much I sympathize with him, if he wants to cover Mephisto then, I will take corresponding countermeasures. Please don't worry about me."

"...All right, my lord."

Seeing what Amiya said, Ace smiled wryly and shook his head.

He believed that Amiya had really realized something, so he felt embarrassed.

She was only 14 after all.

A little girl who should have been willful and innocent at an age, but has to maintain such a realistic and firm consciousness.

This only proves that the grown-ups around her, like Ace herself, are incompetent.

It was people like me who were so useless that forced this girl to shoulder the responsibility early on. She couldn't be innocent at her supposedly innocent age.

There is nothing to do.

So at the very least, I have to protect her.

Ace quietly clenched the shield and hammer in his hands, determined that if it was time to do something, at least solve it instantly, so that Amiya's psychological burden would be less.

Meanwhile, Scout's communication arrives:

"All the herds in this area have been cleaned up. Judging from the distribution, the source should be nearby...Wait, Faust, where are you going!"

Under the observation of Scout, Faust and the phantom crossbowman's team suddenly ran in one direction.

At the same time, the phantom crossbowman's communication came:

"Faust has discovered Mephisto's hideout and is advancing."

Amiya: "Wait a minute please! Please don't act without authorization! With us... interrupted."

Amiya frowned.

Scout immediately said: "My team and the Eye of the Storm team are ready. The Phantom Crossbowman can be wiped out immediately, do you want to do it?"

"……please wait for a moment."

Amiya took a deep breath and said calmly:

"Make sure Faust's true meaning first. The guilt I feel is not fake, I want to believe so."

Amiya and members of the elite team went to the house where Faust was in a siege.

Accompanied by Ace, Amiya came to the door and just put her hand on the doorknob.

"Umm...!"

Amiya frowned and took a step back.

Ace immediately asked, "What's wrong? Is it Originium skill?"

"……Um."

Amiya took a deep breath with a shaken expression, her brows were very heavy.

Ace also knows that Amiya has the Originium skill that can read minds.

When feeling very strong emotions, Amiya will receive this kind of mental shock because of the excessive amount of information flowing in.

She shook her head sadly:

"Probably, it's over...it's okay, just open the door."

Ace nodded and walked in front of Amiya.

And the scene in the room was so bleak that the well-informed Ace frowned.

The small room was full of blood.The blackened blood clots were mixed with bright red blood, and it could be seen that it had been contaminated for several days.

And in the deepest part of the room, Faust is kneeling on the ground.

In front of him, there was a tattered white-haired boy.

It is said to be tattered because it is no longer a complete person.

The white-haired boy collapsed in the corner, his left arm and right leg disappeared from the root, only the empty sleeves were dyed bright red.

His face and body were also covered with blood, and the amount of bleeding had far exceeded that of a single person.

Ace instinctively wanted to block Amiya's sight.

But Amiya just shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

The two of them didn't get too close, they just looked at the two teenagers from a distance, and didn't disturb them.

Unbelievably, even with such a serious injury, the white-haired boy was still alive.

He made a breathless voice, and moved his fingertips:

"Faust... De? Is it Faust...? I can't see... Where are you?"

"it's me."

Faust held Mephisto's hand, his voice was calm.

Mephisto laughed:

"That's great... Sister Talula, you really didn't lie to me... You are still alive..."

"...Yeah, she didn't lie to you."

Faust suppressed the wavering voice and firmly held his hand.

Mephisto is indeed literally blind, as his eyes themselves no longer exist.

In addition, his body was riddled with holes.Several organs have been dug out, and more than half of the body's organs have disappeared.

The reason why he is still alive is already due to his excellent skill in healing Originium.

Mephisto's origin stone skills are so strong that even broken limbs can be repaired quickly.

As long as it is not a one-shot kill, almost any serious injury can be repaired.

...However, there is a limit to this resilience.

During the several days of devastation, Mephisto's vitality was completely overdrawn.

He moved his throat and made a hoarse voice:

"Those, Sarkaz's mercenaries are really powerful... They discovered that my Originium skill is essentially using my body tissue to create herds... So, instead of using scale powder, it's better to eat my meat directly The body will become stronger."

"I've never, never thought of using it this way... It's just that they eat too much... I'm in pain and tired... I can't grow my arms and legs anymore..."

"do not talk."

Faust clenched his fists unbearably, trembling all over.

Mephisto was not obedient, and still said:

"Faust...I worked very hard, really hard..."

"You and Sister Talula are the only people in the world who won't lie to me...I will believe everything you say, and I will try my best to believe it..."

"So I listen to you and try my best to live... I also listen to Sister Tallulah's words and try my best to help..."

"But, I'm really, really tired..."

"Alive, so tired...so painful...Faust, Sasha...can I rest...? Can I stop living...?"

... These words finally caused Faust to collapse.

He embraced Mephisto's bloody body and kept crying:

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Ino... It's all my fault, it's my fault for talking nonsense...!"

"Hahaha...you are so strange, Sasha..."
