Ember Gun

  Chapter 29 Stomach

   "Demon...Although we have fought endless time between us, we still don’t know what it is, where it comes from, what it is, and for what...

Maybe someone knew this, but died in the tomb with secrets. These are all I can know, but everything should have its own name, even the dirty monster, so those saints Name it after the myth that is hostile to the gods. "

  Lorenzo whispered the ancient secret, and just telling the story made the girl feel inexplicable pressure.

  The girl breathed hard and kept silent. She listened to Lorenzo, but didn't want to say more.

  As Lorenzo said, that is taboo knowledge, and it is best not to touch too much in Eve’s current state.

   "That...is it an exit?"

  At this desperate moment, the dim light in front of him became brighter, and Eve was a little tranced, striding with exhaustion.

As if she had grasped some hope, she recovered a little physical strength and ran over desperately. She felt that it was an exit. As long as she left here, she could say goodbye to these weirdness, and this **** nightmare would end. , But when Eve was only a few steps away from the light, Lorenzo pressed her down, and he covered her mouth tightly when the girl wanted to say something.

   "Don't make a noise, things are wrong."

  Lorenzo's voice is very soft, and the calmness in his eyes still dominates this excited body.

  Eve did not resist too much. Under Lorenzo's confinement, only Lorenzo's voice was indifferent.

   "The only thing you can do in the face of madness is to stay sensible, absolutely sensible, do you understand?"

Strictly admonished, Lorenzo has experienced this situation many times. After being under great pressure in the dark, everyone loses his mind when seeing the light, just like people who have lived underground for a long time when they step on the surface and warmly embrace the sun. Look like.

  But that kind of ending will not be good. The blazing sun will burn the eyes that have adapted to the darkness in an instant. In the light after leaving the darkness, perhaps it is the more terrifying monster waiting for Eve.

  Under Lorenzo's control, the two moved forward slowly, and finally she moved her gaze to the front, behind the light.

  There is nothing that Lorenzo is wary of, there is just a deep pit. The passage between Eve and Lorenzo at the moment is above the huge pit, connected by a staircase that rises along the wall of the pit.

  Eve thought that the banquet hall was the largest underground space in the underground palace, but it was obviously the largest.

  The endless light spilled from above, it seemed to be a high-intensity electric lamp. The bright two people just moved their eyes to make it dazzling, and they couldn't observe at all.

The entire deep pit is at least tens of meters deep and is illuminated incomparably bright. There are many meaningless torches around the pit wall. When you look down, the bottom of the pit is covered by blood-red fog and you can only see a blur. Red.

   "I guess this is a place of worship."

  Lorenzo looked at the bottom of the pit. Although it was covered by fog, his past experience made him wary.

   "So your previous job at Feilengcui was... against this kind of thing?"

   Eve said slowly, but when it comes to demons, she instinctively avoids them. She has only seen one side, but the impact of demons on her has been extremely profound.

   "Yes, but not comprehensive. Generally, we have a mature hunting system. We will hunt people before they become monsters, instead of waiting for them to become monsters."

Just like Wall, as long as humans have not completely transformed into monsters, they are still humans in nature and can be easily killed with swords and guns, but after the mutations are completed, they will be non-human beings, requiring non-humans. s method.

  "Is that why you are a priest who knows how to do swordsmanship?"

  Eve suddenly felt that Lorenzo's life experience was a bit legendary.

  "Bologna swordsmanship is a required course for every templar, and becoming a priest is a prerequisite for becoming a templar."

The voice was very flat, but the short sentences all showed Lorenzo's former identity. Eve was a little confused. She remembered everyone's descriptions of the Templar Knights. They were the knights favored by God, and the white armor was noble. Personality, holding the sword that ignites the holy flame, maintains order and peace.

  Even though it is not clear how this person with a bad personality matched the word noble, Eve is still very curious.

   "That should be a very distinguished identity, but why did you come to Inverweg as a detective?"

  Even if the influence of the Evangelical Church cannot be as strong as before, it is still very noble in the Holy Evangelical Pope as a templar. From the perspective of believers, these knights guarding the Seven Hills are simply the angels who came to the world.

   "It's very simple, I don't have the meaning of existence anymore, or... I am unemployed."

  Lorenzo didn't really want to mention the past, but he still said it after Eve's inquiry.

   "The monster was extinct a long time ago. I don't need to stay there anymore... You may not believe it, Lorenzo Holmes has a dream."

  Said he actually laughed.

   "Be a detective?"

  It's a **** of an inspirational story. Facing Eve's question, he nodded vigorously.

   "Tell the truth that Fei Lengcui is a place where people don’t stay. It’s different from the progress and openness of the old Dunling. It’s like a dying saint, with rules and beliefs everywhere."

   may be recalled, although Lorenzo hates them, but at the moment he still talks about them.

"The place of Qiqiu, the capital of the Holy Gospel Papal Kingdom, is more prosperous. Only the most devout believers are allowed to go there. They say that it is the most sacred place in the world, and demons cannot step into the half, but the actual situation is that the temple is stationed there. Crusaders, even if Inervig's attack will take a few days."

  A strong fishy smell came from below, and something fell from above during the conversation.

  It was a rapidly descending black shadow that slammed heavily on the stairs in front of the exit. It was a corpse. With the violent impact, the entire corpse was shattered for a few minutes under the impact, and dark red blood slowly flowed from it.

"Of course, if I have a chance to go back, my biggest wish is to fill the streets of Qiqiu Place with cow dung... You know, those believers are proud of being able to die in Qiqiu Place. Water, there may be several cardinals buried in the ground."

  Lorenzo said as he strode out.

   "Of course these are all things to follow. What I have to do now is to check, why are the extinct monsters still alive?"

   At the end of the words, it was like a lion's whisper, kicking the corpse down the pit with one foot, and that foot was full of emotions. It seemed that this guy was really unhappy.

  The corpse slipped down, and then fell onto the surface of the pit. With the violent impact, the thick red mist was blown away a little, so the shocking ghost face lifted the hazy veil.

   "It's a sacrifice...someone is raising these things."

Lorenzo’s voice has never been cold before, and now it is certain that everything tonight is not accidental. This is a long-planned plan in the dark, and all of this is related to the mysterious item called the Divine Coffin. And that mysterious item is related to monsters.

  This is just a corner of the glacier rising out of the sea, and the deeper, colder and darker ones are still unknown.

  Eve looked at the deep pit, something seemed to crawl out of her stomach, she didn't hold back for a while and retched on the edge.

  It was the ground full of white bones and flesh and blood. Like the red tide that chased the two at last, the fishy flesh was covered with tiny hairs.

After the corpse fell, the flesh and blood seemed to come alive. The red fluff was wrapped around the corpse like a silk, accompanied by a faint gnawing sound, just the position of the corpse within a few breaths. Only the tired bones were left.

  "It's the stomach grass, a kind of monster like a plant. It has no ability to move, but the danger lies in its hunting nature. Once caught by the fluffy tentacles, it will penetrate your skin and eat your body."

  Lorenzo is standing on the edge of the stairs, this kind of feeling of going back to the old profession is really bad.

"Be careful, this kind of thing cannot be moved. For predation, it is like biological evolution. They will have companions that cooperate with them. For example, another group of movable monsters are responsible for predation. Will provide them with shelter."

  Eve worked hard to pluck up the courage. Although afraid, as Lorenzo said, she must force herself to be strong if she does not want to die.

"What should I do?"

  In this way, there is no way for the two of them to go down. There is no other way except to return to the original way.

  Lorenzo did not answer, but looked down at the terrain, Eve suddenly felt a bad feeling, she asked tentatively.

   "Are you going to kill it?"

  Eve said scaredly. Eve was so terrified by the so-called spiritual oppression of the thing called a monster just seeing that, let alone swinging a sword at it, and even if he had the courage to swing a sword, what about it? Can those weird and twisted things really be killed by swords and guns?

  Such a large piece of blood-red monster grass.

  "Do you know? Most demons have the same thing, disgusting and fearing fire and silverware."

  This is the knowledge accumulated by the gospel church for thousands of years. It is in Lorenzo's mind at this moment, but what if you know it, let alone silverware, even the flames here are only the few illuminating torches.

"Eve, this is something that was kept in captivity. Looking around the bottom of the pit, it is tumbling and boiling, but it never overflows. You must know that although it cannot move, it expands extremely rapidly. It is recorded in the books of the church. The grass swallowed the entire town. In order to control it, the church burned the entire town."

  "You mean something restricts its actions?"

  Eve seemed to understand Lorenzo's meaning. This detective's observation ability was really keen. Instead of a means of counterattack he didn't even think of, he had no choice but to escape.

   "Yeah, I think I know what is going to happen tonight."

  All the fragments were pieced together in Lorenzo's mind. The detectives picked up all the details tonight, and he finally wanted to understand what Sabo was going to do.

   "Tonight Sabo is going to launch a premeditated attack against the entire old Dunling."

  The detective's face became extremely ugly, how many people were there in Old Dunling? One million or two million, as long as there is enough flesh and blood, it is only a matter of time before this stomach is overgrown with old spirits.

  "This is why he said that there is no survivor tonight, let alone the underground palace. Once these things leave, the entire Xiacheng district will fall tonight."

Sabo’s words echoed in his mind. He did everything now according to that mysterious teacher. Whether it’s the death of those people or the death of no one tonight, it’s all related to the mysterious coffin of the Holy God, because those The dead have been in contact with him.

   Lorenzo seemed to have grasped some key point, he thought, that is to say, the sacred coffin had stayed here.

  Sabo destroyed the people related to it, and now he wants to destroy it along with it, just because it is related to the sacred coffin.

   "Shrike...what have you shipped?"

  Lorenzo whispered, if he can leave alive tonight, maybe he really wants to have a serious talk with Shrike.

  In this weird silence, there seemed to be other sounds. It was gears dragging the iron lock, and it seemed to be rusty because of dampness. The sound was extremely sharp.

   Eve raised his head, the voice came from above, and the high intensity light had weakened when he first entered here, so that Eve could observe.

I saw a funnel-shaped iron net on the top of the pit, with densely arranged fluorescent lamps above it. Although the light attenuated, it was against the light, and only a twisted black shadow could be seen on the edge of the shadow. Extending countless hands, it seemed that it was composed of hundreds of people in pitch black.

  Suddenly there was a drop of water falling from the black shadow and dripping onto Eve’s face. The liquid was warm. The girl gently wiped it with her hand, but found that her palm was dyed red.

   "I think I know what it is." Lorenzo suddenly said at the side.

   "That is the shackles that limit this monster."

The dense array of fluorescent lamps constitutes this high-intensity daylight illumination, which limits the activity of the stomach grass to a certain extent, and now the light is extinguished and the iron net falls off, and the items wrapped in it are also clear. That is Countless corpses.

  The one that accidentally fell before fell from it, but now they all fall into the bottom of the pit.

  The light completely dissipated in the next second, as when encountering the demon in the hall, the darkness swallowed everything around.

  The breathing of the two of them was heavy, and then countless gnawing noises came from the darkness, it was the demon eating, which was an extremely rich meal for it.

"What's wrong."

The girl didn’t get an answer. Lorenzo was silent and just dragged her towards the corridor behind him. In fact, he knew exactly what was wrong. This was a feeding. After feeding with the characteristics of the stomach, it will definitely expand. , And now the high-intensity fluorescent lamp that restricts it has been extinguished.

  As Sabo said, the real "no survivor" is about to begin.
