Ember Gun

  Chapter 145 Tool Man

   "Lorenzo, I've been thinking about... in what form do I survive, and what kind of existence is [Gap]."

  Medanzo looked at the dim starry sky, and then stepped towards it.

  "After I thought for a long time, I suddenly realized that my personal thoughts were unclear, because the common sense of ‘human’ was interfering with me, just like you cannot fully understand animals."

  It is difficult for human beings to make absolute rational judgments about the unknown, and the common sense as human beings is interfering with them.

  Lorenzo heard what Medanzo meant, and he looked at Watson, the disturbing woman.

   "So you asked the demon?"

   "Yes, at least for the time being, she is the only one who can answer for me, so I reached a temporary agreement with...Watson. Of course, she could not rule out the possibility that she would jump back at a critical moment."

  Medanzo turned his head, and the terrifying rift was behind him.

   "I find that I may be living in a state of mental consciousness, intersecting with your consciousness... Our consciousnesses are intersecting together, and this [interval] is the space that connects us."

  Three different wills exist together in the same [Gap].

  Lorenzo shook his head, he said.

"I do not understand."

   "Actually, this is easy to understand, let me give you an example."

  Medanzo said and stepped aside, allowing Lorenzo to observe the starry sky blocked by him. There was a bright star in the dim darkness near the crack.

   "That is another [interval] space that connects people's will on a spiritual level, and you should be familiar with it."

   "Familiar? How is it possible."

  Lorenzo looked at the weird starry sky. The darkness seemed to have magical powers, attracting Lorenzo's thoughts, but the instinctive sense of crisis told him that once it fell, it might be endless darkness.

  "You are still in the misunderstanding Lorenzo, the seal of the Gospel Church in your mind has not been removed."

  Medanzo said sadly.

When you were born and instilled with a thought, the invisible cage imprisoned you and made you believe in it, even if Lorenzo had left the gospel church, even if he did not believe in any gods, it could be in his subconscious mind. , Lorenzo still avoided them.

Just like some people say that ice is hot, you will get burned when you touch it. You may question it, but when it exists in your life like an iron law, you will instead regard this "abnormality" as "normal", and you may even Don't think about its wrong and right, after all, that thing is as common as the wind.

  Lorenzo still has the restraint of the church in his mind. He should keep questioning the mysterious things, instead of thinking that it is the truth of correct existence, and should turn the incomprehensible everything into a peeping theorem formula.

  "Have you never thought about where the sound in your mind comes from?"

   "The... voice in my head?"

  Lorenzo seemed to realize something, that echoed in his mind, the sound from the mysterious machine.

It’s like there is a strange system in your body that will give you help and instructions at certain times, but you never thought about what it is, never thought about why it did it, you just succumbed to the so-called The "system" to execute strange commands one after another.

  Like a humble and poor tool person, all your actions, all the conflicts of events, and the glory you obtain are all derived from that weird system.

  Even if you have achieved supreme power, you are just a puppet of the system, without it you are nothing.

"Yeah, you can hear the voice from the Silver Bolt, and Watson's voice, but haven't you thought about the similarities between them? Or is the church hiding it perfectly, perfect? Until you were also misled?"

  The gospel church has too many secrets, so many that almost no one has really understood them all.

   "Maybe you can understand it by changing the name."

  Medanzo smirked as if he was doing a prank. He was looking forward to Lorenzo's reaction, because he could not help feeling shocked when he really understood this.

   "You can call that star, that [gap]... the Temple of Silence."

  The words are like thunder, all the anger and vigilance are emptied at this moment, and the whole person seems to be stunned.

  Medanzo looked at Lorenzo's shocked eyes, and he was extremely satisfied.

   "Yes, as you understand it, the voice that has been echoing in our minds, we thought it was the voice from the bolt of silver binding."

  Every demon hunter obeys the voice from his mind, which gives instructions from the church.

"The heart-pivot web system built on the basis of the Temple of Silence, the church uses mysterious myths to cover up this **** thing, but if the inference is correct, it is essentially a large [gap] that connects Every demon hunter."

  "A world that can connect with the spirit."

"That's why you can see Watson hear Watson, but others can't do it, because you are connected in this [Gap], Watson’s [Gap]. This is why you were able to be in I heard the order from the church in the silver binding bolt."

   "The invisible [gap] connects you and me as a bond."

  So the weird voice echoed in this empty and cold ice world.

  【Reconnect to the Silent Temple...】

【Connection failed. 】

【reconnect……】

  The stars in the bleak starry sky called Lorenzo, and it yearned for the return of the children.

  Lorenzo was completely stunned in place, Watson's asylum continued, making Lorenzo unable to re-access the Silent Temple.

"We used to be confused about this and couldn't understand it because we were just'connected', and now we have...Watson's help, although she is not very credible, but at least we have become the same' Manager'."

  Medanzo sent an invitation to Lorenzo.

   "Are you interested in going back to'home'?"

  ……

  The sirens echoed in the perpetual pump, sharp and piercing, like a woman's scream.

The passageway of the entire workshop was opened again, but this time the armed security forces stepped into it. They were carrying experimental weapons. Most of these things were discarded because of the high cost of mass production. Here is the most basic security weapon.

The security soldiers are wearing heavy isolation suits, carrying huge steam backpacks on their backs, and carrying heavy fire guns in their hands. There are steam pipes to receive the triple guns in their hands. The giant triple guns are driven by steam power. The electric spear that is fired internally can interfere with the operation of machinery. Due to the explosive power of high-pressure gas, it is far more rapid than gunpowder, and can smash armor in an instant.

  They stood in battle, their heartbeats rising and falling along with the gradually opening gate.

But there were no terrible monsters behind the door, and no armor that was out of control. The weapon master stood quietly in the center of the steel altar. Dark red vines crawled all over the steel armor.

  The breastplate undulates slightly, agitated with the fierce heartbeat.

   "The security team is in place."

A voice rang in the communication channel. This is not the first time the security team has dealt with armor out of control, but this is the first time they have encountered such a quiet armor, which is different from the out of control armor that has a strong desire to attack. horrible.

  The security team did not dare to enter further. In essence, they were the second line of defense. The first line of defense was inside the workshop. There was heavy fire on the dome, but no one could see under the strong light.

"How's it going?"

  A new voice sounded in the channel, and Merlin's voice appeared on the high platform of the workshop. He used his power to forcibly open the high passage and entered the workshop.

   "He didn't lose control, but he didn't react."

Tesla looked at the high platform on the other end of the shaft wall. Merlin appeared there. In fact, Merlin had violated many regulations at the moment, such as forcibly entering the blocked area, but this incident was different from all previous incidents. This time, the armor was out of control. There is a demon hunter inside.

  Merlin felt that he had to arrive at the scene in person to observe all this.

  "What's the situation, please explain?"

   he asked on the channel.

"Mr. Holmes stopped in place after driving the armor. The monster's flesh and blood grew abnormally, the degree of erosion deepened and gradually spread... He seemed to have passed out in a coma, without any action, but he was not controlled by the monster, just staying. In place."

Tesla is as calm as possible. This is a situation he has never encountered before. Generally speaking, after the driver is unconscious, the armor will be driven by the unconscious monster flesh and blood, which is very aggressive, but now it is too quiet and quiet. horrible.

   "How about fuel consumption?"

  "The weapon division is currently running at the lowest energy consumption. We have not filled up with fuel. It will soon be exhausted."

The   Original Sin Armor’s steam engine is one of the main output, and it also requires fuel consumption, but this is only an experiment, so the weapon master Tesla only injected a small amount of fuel.

   "Security team, act now and drag our Mr. Holmes out of the armor."

   was silent for a while, and Merlin gave the order.

  "Wait for the fuel to run out?"

  Tesla does not understand that when the fuel is exhausted, the steam engine stops, the output of the original sin armor will be greatly reduced, and the action will undoubtedly be much safer at that time.

   "The longer the delay, the more the degree of erosion will continue to deepen. There is still secret blood in his body... Lorenzo himself is the biggest uncontrollable factor."

  Mysterious demon hunters, they themselves are the children of demon.

  Following Merlin's speech, the action soon began, and the security team stepped on some warm neutralizing liquid and walked towards the center of the steel altar.

  As the most dangerous original sin armor, it was prepared to deal with loss of control at the beginning of its design, such as an emergency opening valve that can be activated from the outside of the armor, in order not to be accidentally touched, it is protected by heavy armor, and its location is secret.

Countless sights crossed the muzzle and focused on the silent weapon master. The clumps of flesh and blood were like wildly growing vines. They carefully cut the flesh and blood, and then a large amount of blood poured out, but even in this armor. There was still no response, until they pulled down the hidden valve, and hot steam gushed out of the gap.

The armor on   's back suddenly bounced, and along with the rising white smoke, Lorenzo, who had been unconscious, appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The wanton growth of flesh and blood has spread to the armor. Most of his body has been entangled with flesh and blood, and he has no response. The security guard cut part of the flesh and blood with a knife, and the slender nerve electrode was pulled out of his body. The blood of the starting point.

  Lorenzo was directly dragged out in this way, everything was so thrilling, but after that, it was difficult to be afraid of it.

  The first case in the original sin armor experiment record.

"what happened to him?"

  After confirming that the Armor of Original Sin was completely closed, the crisis was temporarily lifted, the elevator platform on the well wall dived, and Tesla and Merlin rushed to the center of the steel altar together.

  Lorenzo seemed to be in a deep coma, lying on the ground unresponsive, several experimental firecrackers pointed at his head, and fired enough to shoot him into sludge.

   "Nothing happens."

  The researchers removed the probe from his brain. They checked Lorenzo for the first time, but all the numerical feedback was very strange.

   "What is it that there is no response?"

Tesla couldn't help asking, every driver who came out of his armor, even if he stayed awake, had a ridiculously different value after inspection, just like a patient who was about to die, but in Lorenzo's place. There is nothing.

   "There is nothing unusual... he... he seems to be asleep."

   said the man.

   "It's like...like the soul is no longer here."

  He also doesn’t know why he said that. It is obviously a place where science and reason are advocated, but he uses the "soul" to explain all this.

"Okay, I see. Put him in place... Temporarily contain him in the same way as a monster. Of course, I'm not saying that you can directly put him in an iron jail and tie him to an iron bed. We still have a bit of human rights. !"

  Merlin said to the security team members who wanted to kill Lorenzo on the spot.

   is like a ridiculous farce, quickly unfolding and quickly ending.

  Tesla looked at his boss with suspicion, he thought about it and asked.

  "You know his status, right?"

  "Tesla, you are a genius, but some knowledge is not something you can understand now."

  Merlin knew that she could not hide it, especially in the face of this rare genius.

  "The project will slow down for a while. Don't start it until he wakes up."

   "Then what do I do?"

  Tesla said with some dissatisfaction that the project ended right after the beginning, which was maddening.

   "Continue with your current project, didn't you say that you will soon have results?"

"how about you?"

   Tesla asked.

In fact, few people have noticed that technology in this perpetual pump is slowly changing. If scholars headed by Tesla represent modern technology, then taking Merlin as an example is the almost disappearing alchemy. The mysterious technology has made the cleansing mechanism survive the most difficult period, but now it has gradually disappeared here.

   "I'm going to see Arthur, there are some things that need to be discussed."

Merlin didn’t give Tesla a chance to ask questions. He turned and left. The atmosphere in the whole workshop was very delicate, except for the two Joey and Kestrel, who were thankful that they didn’t have to be guinea pigs for the time being. They had tears in their eyes and embraced each other with excitement. .
