Ember Gun

  Chapter 130 Captain Inervig

The entire courtyard has been turned into ruins, and the rising sea of ​​fire evaporates the water in the pool. The blue waves are sparkling. It is clear that in such a cold night, there is warm water vapor permeating, like a slowly ascending shadowless snake. They wandered around one person after another.

  The soldiers on the periphery looked at this place vigilantly, squeezing their fingers on the trigger, waiting for Arthur's order.

  Everyone was waiting for him, waiting for his instructions, but he looked at Eve, and countless emotions stirred the old heart.

Of course he knew what Lorenzo meant. He was the cold decision maker beside this railroad track. The value of Master Lawrence was obvious to all. He could not let him go for any reason, but the price was his beloved daughter. .

  It was a difficult decision, so difficult that even the iron-hearted Arthur began to waver.

In this long silence, time slowed down. Lorenzo looked at the entangled man. He was the powerful Duke and the administrator of the cleansing agency in the dark. He held the scepter in his hand. Now that great power can do nothing.

  It’s so sad.

  He can cause the torrent of steel to destroy the city and crack the pool, but he can’t even protect his own daughter, and because of his beloved daughter, even the steel will produce countless rifts.

  After all, Arthur was just a mortal, and after removing the halo that had enveloped him, he was just an ordinary person, a father.

  Lorenzo suddenly felt a little tired. He looked at Master Lawrence in front of him. Although he didn't want to admit it, he still had to say that Master Lawrence was right and right.

  A weapon is like a weapon, without feelings, without communication, just sharpening the edge, and then killing the target.

  No friends, no life, no care, so it has no weaknesses.

Arthur is a very powerful person. Like the Stuarts, the history of the Phoenix family has also run through the entire glorious war. In each generation, young people named Phoenix go to the battlefield, even after the end of the war for so many years. This ritual-like behavior did not end, and generations of people went to war in the shadows.

  He can swing a sword and cut iron, and he will also give orders to a thousand troops, but in the end he has a family and a daughter, so no matter how strong the steel is, it will soften, so he has a weakness.

  Lorenzo seemed to feel tired, not by himself, but by Arthur's slightly swaying body.

  "We have no chance, Arthur, his power is Shangda Pay, and he can predict the future Shangda Pay. He can see the ‘effect’ before your ‘cause’ happens. No trick is useful.”

  The weird and cunning Shangda Pian, there is no physical change when this power is triggered, and it is difficult to distinguish. If it were not for Lorenzo to recall that old title, it might be kept in the dark.

   "Mr. Holmes, have you made such a decision?"

   Arthur asked suddenly.

  Lorenzo nodded, expressionless.

  I did it a long time ago, he was the last person to keep his senses, and he dealt with the last out of control demon hunters on that ship.

  Lorenzo had pressed the joystick of fate a long time ago, and the train roared past, crushing those familiar faces.

"I see."

  Arthur whispered again.

   "So did you make a decision?"

Master Lawrence looked at them with a smile, with the broken sword resting on Eve’s chin. He didn’t care if these people were delaying time, or something else. He was very powerful and had the capital to despise everything, no matter what they wanted to do. The power of any Shangdai will be foreseen in advance.

Although the burden of this kind of power is very heavy, and it can only predict the future within about ten seconds, this is enough. With the power of Master Lawrence, this ten seconds is enough for him to kill everyone, and then Floating away.

  The only difficulty is Lorenzo. With that strong armor, he can hardly cause any damage.

"Yes."

   Arthur replied, his eyes sharpened, and then he walked towards Master Lawrence.

   "Are you going to give up her?"

  Master Lawrence looked at Arthur, the broken sword lifted slightly, so blood shed.

   "No, just exchange the hostages, what do you think?"

   said Arthur. This is a result that no one has ever thought about.

"what are you doing!"

  Lorenzo roared, but Arthur ignored him and continued to speak instead.

"I am the Duke of Evra Phoenix, the current head of the decontamination agency, codenamed Arthur, and the keys to important systems such as the Snake Peeper in the atrium are stored in my mind. By the way, there is also some knowledge of the armor of original sin... I think my value should be greater than her, right."

   Arthur raised his hands slowly, and stopped in place to say.

  In fact, there is another way to solve this problem. Instead of pressing the joystick, or pushing down some unlucky ghost, you will face the roaring train yourself.

  The best of both worlds, it's just oneself that is sacrificed.

  The demon will die, and Eve will survive. This will be a good story.

  Eve looked at Arthur. She didn't even know what the so-called cleansing mechanism and the code name was, but she just stared at him in a daze. This extremely powerful person finally compromised. For her...

   "This is really... a big fish!"

On the contrary, Master Lawrence uttered a cry of joy. He has been lurking in Old Dunling for a long time, but his progress in the penetration of the cleansing mechanism is extremely slow, and he even failed to find the mysterious broken dome. Location, let alone contact with high-level people like Arthur.

   "Then please come over by yourself."

  Master Lawrence opened his other hand, as if to hug him, but then smiled at Lorenzo.

   "I can see."

That smile was so abominable, like a nightmare, Lorenzo knew what he meant. In the foresight of the Master Lawrence, Lorenzo suddenly attacked himself in a different way, just exchanging it. The moment of hostage.

  He warned Lorenzo.

   "No...No, you should..."

  Eve, she looked at Arthur who was coming, but Arthur had been looking directly at Master Lawrence, stepping firmly and calmly.

  She began to regret it. If she listened to him, would she be on a small island now? There is no need to fight or be bloodied, and Arthur will not be exchanged because of him, but there is no chance to stay.

"do not come!"

   Eve yelled, then waved his hand and tried to beat Master Lawrence, but the broken sword pushed in again, and she could only endure it.

   Arthur did not look at her from the beginning to the end, as if afraid that the rational dam would burst, he stopped, then raised his hands with his back to Master Lawrence, and left with a broken sword, and then pointed at Arthur.

   "I said I saw it! Boy!"

  Master Lawrence suddenly shouted, and the situation suddenly changed at this moment of hostage exchange.

  He looked at the cavalry swooping in mockingly, Lorenzo was still too slow.

  No matter what the result is, Lorenzo will not let Master Lawrence leave. This mysteriously missing Master may be one of the masterminds of the Holy Night, this is his closest moment to that night.

  But as Master Lawrence said, Lorenzo was still too slow.

  Without warning, the broken sword penetrated Arthur's chest from behind. Arthur looked at the protruding spike sword in disbelief. Then it was pulled out again, and the man fell weakly.

  Master Lawrence had no intention of exchanging hostages from the beginning. With Arthur’s will, he could not pry out anything at all, so it was better to kill him to weaken the cleansing mechanism.

  Eve opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything, she could only whimper meaninglessly. She could only witness Arthur's fall like this, and then it seemed like something was burning.

She didn't want to run away, on the contrary, she had a desperate rage. There was nothing to be afraid of, and she was fearless. When she tried to rush up, the figure who had been silent on the side moved, and Seleu rushed. Arrived at Eve, then the silent girl took Eve's hand, and desperately pulled her closer to the soldier like a cargo.

  Bystanders clear that what the current situation can do is to reduce the casualties as much as possible. Eve is struggling, but the injured girl is as firm as steel, without saying a word, dragging Eve staggeringly.

  But at this moment the brilliant whiteness exploded again, and Master Lawrence looked at Seleu with a smile.

   "Run!"

Lorenzo roared wildly, trying to reverse the set ending, but he knew very well that he couldn't do anything. He was too slow, so slow that it was in the gap when he arrived, whether it was killing two people. , Or leaving with Eve, is enough for Master Lawrence.

Tens of thousands of thunder sounded, and countless thermite bombs galloped towards Master Lawrence. The deadly thread of fire was woven into a large net of death, but this did not affect the doomed ending.

  He is old and old, holding a blood-stained broken sword, but the power of breaking steel is unmatched.

  It’s useless, it’s useless at the moment. This is an enemy who can predict the future. All the endings are already in front of him. No matter how he resists, he just walks from one dead end to another dead end.

  Like the owner of the ranch, everyone is the lamb behind the fence, just waiting for his butcher knife to fall.

  The burning trajectory glided in front of Eve. As expected, the trajectory failed to hit the Master Lawrence, but this successfully prevented him from advancing, and it seemed only a few seconds.

  In just these few seconds, the heavy and rapid pace of the endless gunfire sounded, as if carrying wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and howling.

  A person who Eve would never have imagined appeared at the edge of the field of vision, and he was like a tiger.

you are still alive?

  To be honest, after spending so many years with him, Eve felt that Arthur was so familiar and unfamiliar for the first time. He was clearly penetrated by the broken sword, but now he is coming like a tiger.

  That face is so strange.

  He has always been a smiling father. Although he is a little overprotective, he has never shown an angry side in front of him, just like trying to maintain the image of a good father.

  But now his face is distorted like a ghost, with blood on his body.

  He is more like a hungry evil spirit than his father in the memory.

  Don’t come here, since you are not dead, just pretend to be dead on the ground! You will really die this time! This is a demon hunter, a terrifying and powerful demon hunter. Neither Lorenzo nor the mingled aluminum thermal rifle can stop him from marching. What use are you here?

  There is nothing to think about, the blazing and surging broken sword slashed fiercely, ruling everything.

  The vision was shrouded in endless glow, but the light failed to fall.

  The broken sword cut into his arm, but he couldn't point it down. The man seemed to be carrying the falling sun on his back, and he caught up.

   "I said you should listen to me. If you listen to me, you should be sunbathing on a small island, drinking wine, eating dessert..."

   Arthur looked at Eve’s face with a difficult smile, and stood between Huiguang and her.

"you you…"

  Eve felt at a loss for the first time. She tried to pull Arthur away, but her hand froze in place as if she had lost all her strength.

  At such a close distance, Eve discovered the wounds on Arthur's body, the wounds that could easily take a person's life. She really felt that she was about to lose someone, but she couldn't do anything at this moment.

"do not worry…"

   Finally, Arthur said so, and then firmly holding the broken sword that was cut into the flesh, he turned and threw a heavy fist toward the glow.

As a father, Arthur always felt that he was very incompetent. Eve had brothers, but they died one after another. For Eve Arthur, he devoted all his love to Eve Arthur, but because of the relationship with the demons, He always wanted to send Eve away.

Just as Lorenzo has always been taboo, people who are connected with demons can easily pull the people around them into the vortex. Arthur knew that such a person would not have a good end, and he didn't want Eve to do the same. , Rationality and sensibility intertwined, making him suffer for a long time.

  But tonight he seems to finally no longer need to hide. He is the Duke of Phoenix and the heir of the War family. The war in the glory is over, but the shadow in the shadow has just begun.

  Immortal Lawrence was pushed back a few minutes again, his chest was slightly painful, and he was hit by a mortal for the first time.

  There was no anger. Instead, he looked at the man in front of him with a bit of curiosity. He caught the gap, that very crucial gap.

  Shang Takian’s foreseeable future is not long, only ten seconds at most, but Arthur appeared ten seconds later, and when he was about to act, the foreseeable fragment stopped abruptly.

   "You are learning very well! Boy!"

  At this moment, Master Lawrence laughed and turned his head, and at this moment the burning sword passed by.

  Lorenzo hid his purpose, and Master Lawrence did not expect Lorenzo's strategy to be buried so deeply when he swung that sword.

  The demon hunter still retains a trace of rationality after all. In that difficult choice, he left Eve the only way to survive, and that way was hidden in his dialogue with Arthur.

  He pointed out the power of Master Lawrence, and Arthur found the fatal flaw in that brief thought.

  When the power is activated, there should be an activation time, and the cooling time between reactivation after the prediction is over is an unobservable blank for Master Lawrence.

  The injured Tiger hid himself in the gap in the future. He didn't know when this power would be triggered, but he still won the bet, so he did it.

  As if something was rising in the towering body, the snow-capped mountains that had been silent for a long time began to restlessly, the ice and snow melted into a torrent, and then there was blazing heat.

  That is not the power that ordinary people can have at all.

  The Demon Hunter?

But it was different. Master Lawrence could not detect any erosion on his body, but immediately after he saw it, from Arthur’s bare skin, a faint line appeared, which was inscribed with the inscription of alchemy. As if suffering great pain, he had a hideous face.

  He smiled cruelly at Master Lawrence, while the burning cavalry stood beside him with a big sword, blocking the girls behind him.

  Now that Eve is safe, and he no longer has any weakness, the last shackle that bound the demon is broken.

   "What the **** are you?"

  He held the blood-stained broken sword and asked suspiciously.

   So Arthur grinned and vibrated.

  "Have you heard of Captain Inverweg?"
