Ember Gun

  Chapter 166 Power

  The temperature in the cabin is extremely low, as if the winter is hidden in it. Thin frost covers every corner, and the liquid in the container is slightly frozen.

  Under the mirror of the epidemic doctor’s mask, his eyes were frenzied, heavy breathing came from the filter mouth, and a faint white mist rose from under the beak.

  His body began to tremble, as if he was too excited, many weird bumps surged under his robe, and it seemed that it could no longer support this human form.

  The eye pupils hidden under the mask stared at him, with a faint blue light on, and everything was covered with a cold tone, his voice was almost distorted.

   "So... is there really any so-called angel?"

  He turned his head to look at Master Lawrence, his body trembling with excitement.

   "No, to be precise, the word ‘angel’ is a vocabulary created to allow us to understand its form. As for what it is, an angel or a demon, we don’t know."

  Master Lawrence told slowly, he smiled and looked forward, the most perfect work in human history.

  It was a pale corpse. It was a dead body that did not know how long it was dead. It was like a victim recorded in the Gospel. It opened its hands and was crucified.

The ancient and shocking power echoed, and he was clearly inside the steamship, surrounded by the port of Rendona, but the epidemic doctor heard a shallow singing in his ears, as if an invisible orchestra was mourning the death. The presence.

  The barrier of time and space was broken, and the sacred existence had penetrated history and the time came to the present world, showing mortals the great achievements of the past.

  So the milky white gas slowly overflowed from its bottom and spread over the surrounding candle sea, making the sea of ​​fire rippling. It enveloped the epidemic doctor, and hundreds of invisible hands grabbed it, revealing the miracle of the country that day.

This is an indescribable scene, like a mysterious ritual, with a sacred color, but a sensible machine has firmly imprisoned the pale corpse, and the constantly circulating low-temperature gas cooled its dry skin. Severely dehydrated, the holy silver nail was heavily nailed to every joint on the corpse, as if suppressing the soul eager to return.

  The past and the modern, the sacred religion and the machinery of technology are entangled together.

  The epidemic doctor walked heavily, stepped on the melted wax oil, and finally stood in front of the torture cross. He carefully observed the pale corpse.

  Hair has all fallen off. It closes its eyes. Its face is indistinguishable and neutral. It is handsome but has a coquettish beauty. It looks smooth even when it looks down. There is no primary sexual characteristic.

  It is not a human being, but a creature similar to a human being...

  In fact, the epidemic doctor knew it at first sight. Of course, he knew that the corpse in front of him was not a human corpse, it was the sacred existence, the sacred remains...but he still couldn't believe it.

  Believe that they really exist.

  He whispered.

"Angel……"

  So his gaze rose again to look at the two sides of the corpse. They were new branches growing along the back. They were completely different from the physiological structure of humans, just like abnormally growing flesh, but the epidemic doctor knew what it was.

   Those are the squishy wings, spread out with all their strength, and countless sacred silver nails firmly nailed them, like a specimen.

At this moment, he has not noticed his abnormality, because observing this unspeakable existence, the eyeballs under the mask are already covered with bloodshot eyes. As the epidemic doctor sees more, the invisible pressure is destroying him more and more quickly. body.

  That is taboo information, the unobservable image, just looking directly at it will bear the pressure of erosion.

  But the epidemic doctor did not feel it, and the nerve perception began to be paralyzed, and the flesh and blood was twisted and torn.

At the upper end of it, the extremely low temperature gas slowly fell, and there was a blue light on it. As it spread over the pale corpse, countless small inscriptions on the corpse lit up slightly, but immediately dimmed. .

  The imprisonment of low temperature goes from top to bottom, forming a weird cycle, a lost alchemy matrix, which constantly comforts the flesh and blood recovered from hibernation and makes it sleep forever.

   "It's so beautiful..."

  The Epidemic Doctor looked at the pale cheeks, as if it was not dead, but asleep. The neutral appearance was constantly distorted in his eyes, and finally turned into stunning makeup. The beauty that made the Epidemic’s heart beat faster.

   Stretched out her hand and gently stroked that peerless face. She seemed to be sleeping only. The epidemic doctor's movements were very gentle, and he didn't want to disturb her sleep, but at the moment of contact, the epidemic doctor saw it.

  The frozen blood flowed again, the dry skin became tender, the ice sculpture-like body became soft, and the vitality returned to the dead body in an instant, and then the pure white feathers fell.

  Closed eyes opened slightly, and the scorching white light of laziness surged from them, like a scorching sun.

  The epidemic doctor could feel nothing for a moment.

After a brief loss of consciousness, there was intense pain. First, the fingers that touched him. Under the action of the alchemy matrix, the extreme cold froze the fingers of the Epidemic Doctor, and then the palms and entire arms. The white frost covered him for an instant. Half body.

The scorching sun's high-intensity light directly poured under the epidemic doctor's mask, the heavy lenses shattered, the eyeballs melted and burst instantly, and the strange black gas gushed out from under the mask.

The epidemic doctor wailed in agony. This heart-piercing pain rescued it from the weird illusion. He retreated with only his strength, and then fell to the ground, with his completely frozen arm hitting the ground. There was a crisp sound, and then it was like glass, piece by piece cracked, and the fractured gap could clearly see the cross section of flesh and bone.

  Obviously, she had lost her eyesight, but the epidemic doctor could still see it. The angel broke free from the shackles with brilliant light, and she lowered her head as if she wanted to kiss herself.

   "Lawrence!"

  The epidemic doctor roared.

  Master Lawrence walked over slowly. Instead of directly contacting the epidemic doctor, he pulled out the nail sword and then inserted it into the epidemic doctor’s thigh to drag him away.

"are you OK."

   He asked casually, but his eyes were on the center that was enveloped in gas. The angel's body was still crucified, and everything the epidemic doctor saw was an illusion.

  The erosion is so terrible, so strong that you have been dominated by it without even noticing it.

  The sane dam bursts at the moment of contact, and there is no time for warning at all.

   "I...I was almost killed!"

  The epidemic doctor was struggling painfully on the ground, blood constantly gushing from the severed limbs, the eyeballs were completely melted, the liquid and blood mixed together and flowed out from the cracks in the mask.

   "I know you won't die... at least you won't die so easily."

  Master Lawrence seemed to have known what would happen to the epidemic doctor, and he was not in a hurry, just stood on the side and waited for his recovery.

Finally, this huge trauma made it difficult for the epidemic doctor to maintain. The robe was stretched open by the growth of flesh and blood, as if some monster was about to burst out of his body, but when it swelled to the extreme, it shrank back and tightened. Then there was the sound of the delicate voice.

It seems that there are thousands of worms crawling in the body of the epidemic doctor. The injured parts are abandoned and swallowed into nourishment. Then the new limbs grow with blood. After a short period of pain, new eyeballs slowly grow out of the eye sockets. The doctor arched his body, and finally healed after the intense pain.

   "Lawrence, I swear, I will kill you next time."

   Gasping violently, he slumped on the ground, it felt **** uncomfortable.

  "I’m doing this for your own good. After all, you are going to deal with it next. No matter how you warn you, it’s better to let you directly feel its terrible and more intuitive, right?"

  Master Lawrence said, he didn't care at all that if the epidemic doctor hadn't escaped just now, he might really die there.

  That is the Holy Grail after all, even its abandoned corpse cannot be shaken by mortals.

   "So how does it feel? This thing is great, right."

  He praised, the source of all this, the starting point of all confusion and disputes.

   "Is this... what's in the coffin?"

   Working hard to calm the panic in his heart, the epidemic doctor looked at the corpse hidden behind the hazy fog, his eyes were full of vigilance.

   "Yes, the body of the Holy Grail."

  Master Lawrence said lightly.

"Its will has escaped, but as a container of that will, the corpse still has terrible power, and even without the suppression of the alchemy matrix, this corpse will recover... vitality, no soul, just the vitality like the walking dead. "

   "It's like a cell in a petri dish, without consciousness, but it will continue to multiply and divide, right?"

  The Epidemic Doctor stood up slowly, stepped back slightly, keeping a distance from the thing.

   "Don't worry, the Demon Hunter had a mature containment procedure for it at the time. As long as you don't cross the'winter day' realm, it is just a specimen."

  Master Lawrence lifted his hand and pulled the valve. More low-temperature gas fell, baptizing the pale corpse. The alchemy matrix named Winter confined the corpse, blocking its recovery and erosion.

   "Whenever I think that I have done a blood transplant operation for you, I feel that I am alive now is a kind of lucky."

  After the epidemic doctor was frightened, at that time Master Lawrence found himself and provided a part of the Holy Grail flesh and blood for the transplant operation. He thought that the corpse would be dry and unworthy, but who would have thought that the real appearance of the corpse would be so terrible.

  "It's just after rigorous calculations. The flesh and blood you transplanted for me was self-growth after I removed a part of it. The erosion intensity is not so severe. Of course, this almost killed me."

   As he spoke and stroked his chest lightly, this aging body was still a little hard to control such power.

   "Calculate? Shouldn't the people in your church chant faith and hand everything over to loyalty to God?"

  The epidemic doctor was still a little angry, he mocked.

  "Faith is only a tool of ruling those who are ignorant. It is the technology that can change the world by using this unknown force."

  He was not angry at all, but answered him seriously.

  The turbid eyes sharpened, like a nearly broken sword, but it still had the sharpness of cutting steel.

  "Peptide doctor, the time has come to show your talents. I need you to figure out what is going on...or what is a monster?"

   "Me? I almost died just by touching me!"

  The epidemic doctor roared.

  "Did you refuse?"

  Lawrence asked suddenly, the nail sword in his hand still dripping blood.

  The two people looked at each other for a short time, and then there was a oozing laughter under the beak mask.

   "Yes, how could I refuse? This is a life that does not exist in this world... Maybe it contains the truth I desire in its body?"

   "How can I refuse?"

  With an evil reverberation, although he was injured, the epidemic doctor looked very happy.

   "You moved me, Master Lawrence."

  He said, the previous embarrassment is no longer, that is what he pretended to be, as Master Lawrence said, that level of injury will not kill him.

If there were some disputes over interests and different goals between the two before, then when the body of the Holy Grail is truly displayed in front of the epidemic doctor, all these obstacles are gone. He is very clear that this is what he wants. .

   "But how can I study it, once it leaves the alchemy matrix, it will wake up, right?"

   asked the epidemic doctor.

  The consciousness that dominates the body no longer exists, but it is the container of the Holy Grail after all, just like the crazy proliferation of the cells in the petri dish. Even without consciousness, it is extremely dangerous due to the biological instincts.

   "I prepared a lot in advance, you can start with those things."

Master Lawrence said that he pulled another valve, and the heavy iron wall fell to completely envelop the pale corpse. Then, as the gears turned and bite, the new experimental body rose from the ground. It was a low temperature one after another. In the light blue solution, pale flesh and blood were slowly creeping.

It is a life form that is difficult to describe. It is clear that they all originated from the Holy Grail, but after being separated, they are like independent existences. Among them, the low temperature limits their activity, and like their mothers, they fall asleep.

  "This is the flesh and blood tissue removed from it. You can start from here."

  The transplanted flesh and blood on Master Lawrence’s chest originated here. After opening the sacred coffin, he only had a short time to cut off a part of the flesh and tissue, and the rest was sealed up for containment.

  The epidemic doctor admired the flesh and blood. Although he was prepared in his heart, the astonishing erosion after approaching still made his heart palpitations.

   "It's hard to imagine... how did your hunting sect perceive this kind of existence in the first place."

  He admired.

  The terrifying erosion, even under the suppression of the alchemy matrix, can easily destroy the epidemic doctor’s line of defense, not to mention its heyday when it was not contained.

  Just knowing it will lead to madness, let alone knowing its existence.

  The Demon Hunting Order did it, not only found it, but also contained it.

  It is like peeking into the corner of that huge thing. The power of the Demon Hunting Order is so profound and terrifying. It is a group that can really fight against despair and light up the flames of the night.

   "That was a long time ago."

  Master Lawrence said faintly, it seemed that he didn't want to recall too much in this matter.

  Although the glory of the past is no longer there, there are still many doubts about the power of the Demon Hunter.

  "But before studying these, there is one more thing the epidemic doctor needs to do."

  He turned around and looked at the epidemic doctor.

"What's up?"

  The Epidemic Doctor asked, he was extremely excited at this moment, and he even felt that the ultimate secret about the demons was here, in the bottom of the steamship, in the pale corpse.

   "An interesting plan."

  Master Lawrence stretched out his hand, and under the scarlet robe was an old and stiff body.

   "Holy Grail flesh and blood is not effective in transforming my body, it just barely extends the life of this body."

He looked at the epidemic doctor, and then unzipped his clothes. The twisted flesh and blood occupied most of his chest, but it was strange that the deformed flesh and blood hung on his body like a tumor...like a parasite. , Absorbing the vitality of Master Lawrence.

   "So the transplant still failed?"

  The gaze of the Epidemic Doctor became cold. He knew exactly what the situation was. The flesh and blood of the Holy Grail was eroding Master Lawrence. It was hard to imagine that when the flesh and blood were fully merged and grown, Master Lawrence and other things were in front of him.

   "There is no failure, it's just that I am too old...I need a young body."

Master Lawrence coughed vigorously a few times. As he said, he is too old. This body has gone through too much, unable to continue to bear the power from the Holy Grail. He has begun to be unable to resist the revived power, nor can he Let it go.

  He is still strong, but with his nourishment, the flesh and blood of the Holy Grail is also awakening. The biological instinct will plunder Master Lawrence's life, and the balance between him and it is gradually tilting.

  When Master Lawrence gained the ultimate power in the flesh and blood of the Holy Grail, it was also the time when the flesh and blood of the Holy Grail completely eroded Master Lawrence.

   "So what? I beheaded you and transplanted your head to another body before you die?"

  The epidemic doctor said, this kind of thing is simply unrealistic.

   "No, it doesn't need those, all it needs is an alchemy matrix."

  His voice is a bit tired.

   "Remember what I said? Epidemic doctor, about [Gap]."

"That is a weird and mysterious spiritual world, and after the Holy Grail is strengthened, I can shuttle through [the gap]... In fact, this power is not complete, just as the demon hunter needs the alchemy matrix engraved on his body to awaken the secret blood. Like power, this [interval] shuttle power also needs the assistance of the alchemy matrix."

   "The secret blood is steel, and the alchemy matrix is ​​a furnace, casting it into a sharp sword like this, I just use it arbitrarily, and I can't use it to the extreme."

   "In other words, if you play to the extreme, you can be young again?"

  The Epidemic Doctor laughed and said, this is an unrealistic power, no one can return to youth, that is the power to reverse time.

   "It's just that you will have the youth of others."

  Master Lawrence responded.

  "Through the erosion of [Gap], I can erode another person’s [Gap] to destroy his will, thereby killing him, or influencing him, or even using him as a link to expand people on a large scale."

  This is the power of erosion, the constant spread of the virus.

"so what?"

  The epidemic doctor does not understand that the gospel church possesses unimaginable mystery and taboo knowledge.

  "What if I replace that person’s [Gap]?"

  He said suddenly.

  The Epidemic Doctor was startled at first, and then came the cold from the bottom of my heart, which was even more strange and terrifying than facing the Holy Grail.

   touched the power of taboo, and the crazy suffocation tortured the minds of mortals.

  Although the Holy Grail has terrifying power, the Epidemic Doctor also has his confidence. With his power, no one can completely kill himself at present, but what if it is from the spiritual level?

  [Gap] is a spiritual world, what if Master Lawrence banned the [Gap]?

   "The existence of [Gap] is very interesting. I even think it has something to do with the nature of the monster. I can influence the expansion through it, and I can also use it to kill a person."

  He continued.

  "When you destroy a person’s will in [Gap], it is equivalent to killing his consciousness, his soul, and sometimes you will perceive his memory, etc..."

  This is the source of Lorenzo’s confusion. After killing Horner’s will, he saw the chaotic memories in the chaotic hallucinations.

   "But if it's a complete boarding... It's like a soul transfer? Or is it a will transfer, it's almost the same thing."

  The epidemic doctor looked at him in horror, and then asked.

   "Are you trying to replace that girl?"

  He was referring to Seleu Stuart, as the collaborator of Master Lawrence, he was very clear about what Master Lawrence did, but he didn't expect him to do it.

  Master Lawrence shook his head, he said.

   "How could it be possible, she has other uses."

   "Of course, to a certain extent, it has something to do with the Demon Hunter from the Medanzo branch. I'm really curious about which of my apprentices will survive."

  In that burning night, these people should die in Master Lawrence’s script and sleep in that night.

  "Then speaking of this matter, the epidemic doctor, we humans and demons are different after all. Even if we usurp the power of secret blood, we are also at risk of losing control, and we need the assistance of the alchemy matrix."

"In fact, this power is very interesting. It is like a heavy book. We can't precisely turn to the page we need. The Alchemy Matrix acts as a catalog, giving us what we need, but it also Because of the cowardly physical limitations of human beings, we have obtained these, and we can no longer bear others."

  Master Lawrence recalled the rules that belonged to the demon hunters, like a container, and human beings themselves limit how much he can get.

"Therefore, the demon hunter can only extract one kind of power from the secret blood. The plural powers only exist in the theory. Perhaps while successfully stimulating plural powers, the body and will will collapse due to the erosion of the secret blood."

   "In other words, the so-called alchemy matrix actually protects you?"

   asked the epidemic doctor.

  Those powers are hidden in the secret blood, but through the alchemy matrix, the demon hunter can only awaken one of the powers and control it perfectly.

  "Yes, but I am a Shangdafen Demon Hunter. Although with the blessing of the Holy Grail, I can mobilize part of the power of [Gap], but after all, I am not perfect and cannot achieve the level of banning will."

The power of   [Gap], Master Lawrence is also groping. With the help of "Revelation", he understands this power more clearly than Lorenzo, but he also knows what he needs.

   "Then what do you want me to do?"

  "Inscribe the new alchemy matrix."

  Master Lawrence said directly, with a cold wind in his voice.

"Plural powers can only be established in theory. That's because the body of the demon hunter is still too weak, but it is different now. The epidemic doctor, the Holy Grail is eroding my flesh and blood. I have never been strong, and I have never The ones who have been are approaching death."

  Like the fireworks in the dark night, the most brilliant time will also disappear in the night.

  The epidemic doctor looked at those trusting eyes, this old man looked like he completely trusted the epidemic doctor, as if he knew that all this would be successful.

   "Then whose body do you want to occupy?"

   asked the epidemic doctor.

  Smith Lawrence smiled at this, he already had a candidate in his mind.

   "The surviving Medanzo Demon Hunter, I played against him, he will be a very good carrier, but unfortunately I can't continue to use the power of Shangdafen after occupying that body."

The alchemy matrix on Lorenzo points to Medanzo's power, which means that if Master Lawrence invades Lorenzo's body, he will abandon this aging body and abandon the alchemy that points to Shangda's power. matrix.

  This is really a pity, this foreseeable power Master Lawrence has been using for a long time, but he feels a little bit reluctant to think that he will lose it.

   "Don't worry, I have been the patriarch for so long anyway, I know the inscription process of the alchemy matrix, and I will guide you."

  Master Lawrence looked at the silent epidemic doctor and said that the reason why the epidemic doctor was needed was because Master Lawrence could not do it alone.

Of course, he is not afraid of the epidemic doctors betraying midway, let alone the power of foreknowledge, the Holy Grail flesh and blood in Master Lawrence's body will give him strong vitality, and one of the main reasons why he needs the alchemy matrix is ​​that he himself invades the society independently. There is a great risk, he is not sure whether he will succeed, the alchemy matrix will clearly point the power and let him control this power perfectly.

  The long silence Chinese Epidemic Doctor shook his head, he said.

   "I am not thinking about these patriarchs Lawrence."

  The Epidemic Doctor looked at Master Lawrence and asked.

  "Point to the alchemy matrix that controls [Gap]..."

  He peeped into something, with the cold after exploring the secret.

   "That is to say... Manipulating [Gap] is also a kind of power, right?"

  In other words, there is such a mysterious demon hunter whose power is to wander in the [Gap].

  This is not the power of the Holy Grail. It has always existed, but no one has discovered it.

  Looking at the fearful eyes under the mask, Master Lawrence replied meaningfully.

"Yes."
