Ember Gun

  Chapter 575 Lost

   "The four of them walked into the vast snowy field like this and never came back."

  Someone whispered, telling this almost forgotten story.

"As for the big ship named Chenhui Advance, it also failed to leave the sea of ​​silence, just like many ships that also entered the sea of ​​silence, it stayed here forever, and the cold exhausted its resources. Repression makes the people in it crazy.

  They also tried to return, but the low temperature ice sealed the channel when it came. They were completely frozen on top of the ice and could no longer move.

  In this way, this great voyage ended with such a desperate ending. "

  He stretched his legs laboriously and stood on a high place. The view here was very good. The sunlight was shining on the white snow, and the glow was flowing and overflowing everywhere, and the shadows had nowhere to hide.

  The man sighed and continued talking.

  "Like people who have failed countless times before, they have also failed to succeed. They have made such a great sacrifice and effort, and in the end nothing can be changed.

  The world has entered a new cycle in accordance with its destined trajectory. War and death remain the same. A new city-state is built on the broken ruins. Mankind enters the next era, waiting for the opening of another cycle.

  As for...

  As for their story..."

  The man thought for a while, sat down cross-legged, painted on the parchment, and continued to mutter.

  "Their stories have long been forgotten, just like more forgotten stories. They are just a small group, easily forgotten, covered with dust, as if they never existed."

  The man finished telling the story, his pupils under the blindfold were slightly sad, and he continued to look into the distance. Soon there were footsteps approaching, and the man cursed.

   "We are not dead yet? What are you talking about?"

  Lorenzo approached Frocky, and this guy has been babbling about something since just now, it sounds like the end of this journey.

   "Our ending, I am thinking about how future generations will sing about us after failure."

  Frocky put away the parchment and replied.

   "You look like an unscrupulous bard." The Epidemic Doctor also followed, glanced at Frocky, and walked forward.

"I am indeed a bard, and every time I set sail, I will bring a bard with me. If I die, I will let him sing the story... Although most of the time I live to the end. "

  Frocky recalled the past, "So I became my own poet."

   "I think you may need a Florund's potion to wake up."

Lorenzo said, striding with difficulty. Few people have arrived here for hundreds of years. The snow is too thick. Every time he takes a step, he is almost under Lorenzo's knee, making his walking extremely difficult. .

   "No, I'm very awake," Frocky thought of something, and then asked, "Holmos, haven't you considered your ending?"

  He followed Lorenzo and the Epidemic Doctor. Compared with these two people, Froky's physical fitness appeared to be a lot weaker. In order to maintain his strength, his speed was slower than these few people.

  "We descended into this world. From the moment we breathe, our life enters the countdown. It can be said that our life is for death, but death is too harsh and too cold."

  Frocky really looks like a poet at this moment, or a poet who is about to die, with some personal feelings and strange philosophies in his mind.

  "So when I realized this, I hoped that my death would have some value..."

   "Do you think this is a good burial place? You and the epidemic doctor think about the same." Lorenzo said.

   "It's really good here. I have lived for hundreds of years. The long life will make you feel that many things are boring, and life has become very boring." The epidemic doctor said.

   "So you made some weird monsters for fun?"

  Listening to the words of the epidemic doctor, Lorenzo was a little angry for a while.

  The fellow epidemic doctor once brought him huge troubles, many people died because of him, but the reason for all this seems to be that this fellow is too boring.

   "It's not that much, it's almost the same. When the world can no longer satisfy you, all you need is something beyond this world...such as truth."

  The epidemic doctor has no intention of introspection. In his opinion, these are just sacrifices necessary to search for the truth.

  He seemed to notice Lorenzo's expression, and he said meaningfully.

   "Remember what I told you before? Holmes, God and the world."

  "Do you think you are a god? So killing humans is nothing to you?" Lorenzo asked.

   "Almost, but I'm not a god, I'm just a kind of existence between **** and man...I haven't figured it out yet, but I guess it won't be long before I can understand everything."

  The epidemic doctor said and looked at the tall figure behind him, and the black angel walked in the back with the supplies on his back.

  Wason didn't say much. After landing, she remained silent, with steady steps, and every ups and downs brought a slight vibration.

"What's more, Holmes, you still have that fellow named Watson. In fact, we are all the same kind. We are no longer mortals, but false gods who have embarked on the path of sublimation. The reason why you can still be human I feel sad, but there are too many constraints on your body. When you are free one by one, you may come to conclusions similar to mine."

  The eyes under the mask drifted between Lorenzo and Watson, and there was a faint smile in the voice of the epidemic doctor.

  Lorenzo didn't bother to care about the nonsense of the epidemic doctor. These things were absolutely impossible to him, but Watson in the armor was slightly touched by the words of the epidemic doctor.

  Watson still remembers what happened before. In the Winchester office, she almost lost control at that time...she almost killed Eve.

  On the way to the Viking countries, Watson also reflected on these things, but the more she thought, the more frightened she became. She realized that she didn't seem to be out of control at that time, that was what she was originally like.

  What Lorenzo now understands is that Watson, who is rich in human nature and possesses ethics and morality, is actually what she deliberately disguised.

  She has ceased to be a mortal since she embarked on the road to ascendance, and when she loses contact with the world, she will no longer empathize with others.

  It was a terrible omen, but she remained silent, not knowing how to speak.

  The atmosphere became silent. During this long journey, there were no demons and no changes. Some were just near endless roads. The four of them moved forward, like walking in a white and cold desert.

  The current situation is actually a lot easier, and the surrounding scenery is quite good. If you forget the original mission, this can be regarded as a good outing.

  Frocky is still obsessed with singing after his death, obviously this kind of thing sounds very pessimistic, but Lorenzo can't see the slightest sadness in him, this guy is really excited.

  In Frocky’s words, although he will die, he will also fulfill his ideals and die with great value...

Lorenzo really didn’t understand the brain circuits of these Vikings, and he didn’t bother to understand, but according to Frocky’s logic, among these people, Lorenzo didn’t want to die here. There are so many things to do, and Lorenzo's burial place is far from here.

  The four moved forward in silence for a long time. Under the interference of erosion, the hands and clock could not be used normally, and the cognitive abilities such as the sense of time were also affected, not to mention some electronic devices.

  Lorenzo can only raise his head, relying on the position of the daylight to judge the approximate time, and then use the increasing erosion intensity to determine whether he is heading in the right direction.

  They left their marching footprints, and the surrounding scenery kept repeating.

   "Holmos, do you think there will be watchmen at the so-called end of the world?"

  The epidemic doctor broke the silence. The silence made people crazy. He wanted to find some topics to solve this disturbing worry.

  "Who knows? After experiencing this, even if there are real gods, I am not surprised." Lorenzo said.

In fact, Lorenzo has already obtained a lot of useful information on this trip to the Sea of ​​Silence. The so-called watchmen are the demon hunters with the power Gabriel, who incarnate as invisible wandering souls before the endless time, guarding Around the fence, in case anyone knows the truth of the world.

For this reason, they also sealed off the sea of ​​silence. The [Messianic]-level monsters that only existed in the church’s records were entrenched under the sea of ​​silence. In this [Gap] of Leviathan, an illusory static temple was formed there as a resident.

Lorenzo guessed that perhaps this huge Leviathan came from the hands of these watchmen. After seeing the once stagnant temple in [Gap], Lorenzo doubted the previous Demon Hunting Order. Far stronger than Lorenzo expected.

   "Adren Levien."

  Lorenzo whispered the name, he remembered it.

  In the deepest part of his memory, Lorenzo Medici once mentioned this name to himself. He was also one of the former popes, and he personally sealed the power Gabriel.

   "God..."

  The Epidemic Doctor whispered this haunting name.

  They have already embarked on the road of sublimation, and perhaps the so-called gods are the end of this road.

  Lorenzo opened his legs. This time his feet failed to sink deeply into the snow. He found that the snow had become shallower. After kicking away the snow, he could reach the bottom of the snow.

  The epidemic doctor also noticed this. It stands to reason that the snow here shouldn't have changed too much. He stretched out his hand, and then felt an abrupt coolness.

   "It's windy."

  The epidemic doctor looked at Lorenzo, and Lorenzo nodded.

   "Our direction is right. In this windless place, there is an area baptized by wind... We are getting closer and closer to the end of the world."

   "How do you know?" Frocky asked Lorenzo.

"Erosion is memetic. As long as they are recognized, the watchmen will come. So logically speaking, the guardians at the end of the world are the number one enemy of the watchmen. They themselves will always Attracting the attention of the watchmen.

  But in fact, the Secret Guardians have always existed, even after so many years, they still haven't been cleared. "Lorenzo explained.

   "The end of the world must also have its own protection. It can resist the spread of erosion, so that the Watchers cannot cross its barriers, and it is these things that protect the Secret Keepers."

  Watson, who had been silent, spoke at this moment.

"For example, the wind we feel now...Jihai lost the natural physical laws because of the existence of erosion. The sea is dead and there is no wind and no signs of life. Now these distorted laws are gradually being corrected, and we are entering the end of the world. The area of ​​influence. Like a buffer zone against erosion, it serves as a sanctuary to protect these keepers."

  The black angel quickened his pace. The journey was faster than Watson expected, and there were still a lot of supplies left.

  "This is a sanctuary and a cage. They cannot leave the end of the world for half a step, otherwise they will be locked and killed by the watchers."

  Lorenzo looked ahead and exclaimed.

  More breeze blew over, they brought snow and dust, and bursts of restlessness sounded.

  For a while, the silent world shattered, but Lorenzo didn't feel bad, the depression in his heart was relieved by the sound of the sound, as if he had walked out of the deadly world and returned to the life of a mortal.

  The sea of ​​silence has been depressing everyone for too long. At this time, Lorenzo unexpectedly missed the life of the old Dunling, and those terrible and unpalatable restaurants.

   "Attention everyone, the next trip will only be more dangerous."

  Lorenzo relaxed for a few seconds, and became serious again. He took the rope that had been hung on the armor before, walked towards the epidemic doctor, and then tied himself with the epidemic doctor.

"what are you doing?"

  The Epidemic Doctor did not understand. He could feel that they had indeed stepped into a new area. In Frocky’s words, they had already passed through the middle ring of the sea of ​​silence and arrived in the inner ring.

  The intensity of the erosion has become weaker, but it still exists. This is a good sign, but Lorenzo is even more nervous than before.

  "Do you think something that can withstand the effects of erosion will be ordinary? Epidemic doctor."

  Lorenzo looked a little nervous, he knew what was going to be here.

   "The only monster that can fight against the monster is the other monster. You must know that the seabed is the terrible Leviathan, but for so many years, he still has not been able to capture this place."

  Lorenzo walked towards Froki after speaking, connected himself with a rope, and then distributed Florent's potion.

   "What's in here?"

  The epidemic doctor felt the pressure in Lorenzo's words and asked.

   "I guess it is antimeme, a property that is completely opposite to erosion. If erosion is an unstoppable torrent, then antimeme is a completely dead black box."

  Lorenzo thought, but due to the nature of antimemetic, even if Lorenzo had understood, he had forgotten all of them and could only explain it reluctantly.

  "In layman's terms, it is forgetting, making everyone forget its existence.

I guess the Secret Keeper is protected by this power, so those who have been to the end of the world can hardly tell a complete journey experience, and few people can take knowledge out of it. It is also for these reasons. The watchmen were turned away by antimemetics. They wanted to use erosion to attack, but it didn't work. "

  Lorenzo concluded, only then did he realize the near-perfect offense and defense between the two.

Antimemetic hinders the spread of erosion and prevents the Watcher’s attacks from the [interval] level, and this vast snowy field is also surging with this force. If the Watcher wants to rely on force to interfere, most of them will get lost in this area. Above the land.

  The strong attack failed, the watchmen also made countermeasures, turning this shelter into a cage, in order to interrupt any possible contact between the outside and the inside.

  This is a near-perfect fortress. If it weren’t for Lorenzo’s luck, it would be really difficult for them to get here.

   Thinking of this, a silver figure flashed before Lorenzo's eyes.

  【Pioneer】.

  Lorenzo still does not know the identity of the pioneer, nor his purpose, but what can be known is that without the assistance of the pioneer, the Chenhui Advance had already sunk in Leviathan’s attack.

It can be said that Lorenzo and others can get here right now, relying on the pioneer's hands. Lorenzo is not sure what the pioneer is doing. Lorenzo only thinks that the silver armor is hiding him. Fearful face.

  "If something is wrong, inject Florund's medicine immediately.

  After all, I always feel that antimemetic is also a kind of erosion, but the impact of this erosion is difficult for us to perceive. "

  Like the demon hunter and the monster, they originated from the same source, but the form of expression is completely opposite. contradiction.

  Lorenzo stopped thinking, he pulled up the rope to prevent someone from forgetting themselves under the influence of antimemetic, and thus get lost.

  A few people move forward, and the hardest part has just begun.
