Ember Gun

  Chapter 582 The Unspeakable

   "Although it is a civil war between humans, the other side is no longer a human being. They are sublimated into a higher existence, becoming a nihilistic, conceptual existence."

  The Pioneer continued his narration, ignoring everyone who was shocked.

  "You can think of it as a true god, and we call it the Unspeakable.

  Not to hear, not to see, not to speak.

  As long as you are aware of their existence and come into contact with things related to them, terrible erosion will spread like crazy vines, thus entangle you and open up the road between you and it.

As for erosion and demons, it's like wind. You can't see the existence of wind, but you can realize the existence of wind and erosion through the curled leaves and the slight coolness on your skin. It is just these unspeakable ones. The leakage of power, they are used to interfere with the material medium. "

The words of the pioneers filled up the previous conjectures of several people. Before sailing towards the Sea of ​​Silence, Lorenzo realized the root of the erosion. The reason for the constant appearance of demons was the existence of sublimators, but obviously, like Lorenzo. The guy is not the key to the problem. What really drives the world into madness is the existence of the indescribable who has reached the end of sublimation.

  Lorenzo muttered to himself.

  "Like antimemetic, so is erosion, and so is the unspeakable. In essence, they are all a piece of ‘information’, the ‘information’ of the continuation of life.”

"Yes, almost, you can feel it too. Only people who have been sublimated can barely accept such'information'. The so-called monsters are just mortals who cannot bear such'information'. They are crushed and distorted. An abominable monster, it misinterprets the'message' and becomes immortal flesh and blood."

  Lorenzo was breathing heavily, he was a little hard to tell whether this was a war or a continuation of life.

From the perspective of humans, the unspeakable is the enemy of mankind. The existence of this crazy plundering will sooner or later alienate all human beings into demons, but from the perspective of natural science, the only way to abandon the flesh and blood is Cowardice becomes a near-eternal existence.

"They are completely high-ranking existence... If you want to kill a monster, you must first become a monster, just like a witcher implanting secret blood and fighting with the monsters. In order not to be overwhelmed by the'information', we are distorted into monsters. Many people have also stepped into sublimation, but we have not come to an end, but are stuck in a place where we can’t get up and down. We are neither humans nor nihilistic beasts."

The pioneer whispered softly, so that there will still be a little humanity in his heart, contrary to the original intent of sublimation, standing on the side of human beings against the unspeakable, but this time is too long, so long that he sometimes forgets it. Why is this, why not sublime to sublimation?

  Towards a greater existence, sublimation.

   "But you were still driven by the secret guards." The epidemic doctor slowly said.

Hearing this, the Pioneer laughed and could feel that from the initial mechanical indifference, after talking with Lorenzo and others, the Pioneer appeared more humane, as if it was a communication with people that made the frozen soul. Melted again.

  "Holmos should understand this?" The pioneer looked at Lorenzo.

  Lorenzo nodded. He understood how similar he was to the pioneer. For the greater goal, he became a bloodthirsty beast, and the beast needed shackles.

  "As long as we touch the sublimation, one day we will completely lose all the ‘fetters’ and become the same existence as the unspeakable."

"Well, so after the Battle of Fort Thirteen, the Secret Guards ruled out all those who touched on sublimation. Although we are on the side of humanity, we still have potential threats. Every sublimator is a one. A beacon, a door that has not been opened yet. The unspeakable can use us as a link to attack the secret guard, and even anyone."

  The pioneer looked at these silent obelisks, which also had names he was familiar with, but thinking about them carefully, he could no longer remember what they looked like.

"I can't remember the details of the war clearly. After all, it was too long and too long. In short, after the war, we fell into silence. Some people chose to become secret guards and stay here, keeping the human fire, in order not to give Whenever the enemy has a chance to attack here, the Secret Guards preserve the purity of human beings and refuse any sublimation. In order to extend their lives, they hibernate themselves and replace most of their organs with machinery.

  Others left. They brought knowledge and technology to rebuild world civilization..."

   "Then they failed. In the iterations of reincarnation, the established civilization was destroyed time and time again by the demons."

  Lorenzo continued the pioneer's words and said, this is the duty of the country builders.

"Yes, I said that the war is not over. It exists in the shadows and continues to the present. The unspeakable have not been cut to death. The constantly appearing demons are the best proof that this guy is still alive. , Affects the world, but we haven’t lost either... at least we haven’t lost yet."

"But it's not far from losing, isn't it? The secret guards are withered, and the country builders are gradually forgetting the past. The history of mankind is riddled with holes and doubts everywhere. Technology and knowledge are constantly regressing and even becoming Now this ignorant look."

  Lorenzo said, he had seen the glory of mankind in the [Baptism of the Gods], and compared with it, everything in this world seemed so ridiculous.

   "This is no way. The war never ends, right?"

  The pioneer answered Lorenzo’s question.

"Erosion is memetic, and it will continue to pass until it destroys everything in the pathway. We can only continue to castrate ourselves to avoid touching it... Now the erosion you are experiencing is just its dream. It is far from awakening."

  The heavy pressure came down, Watson thought, she asked.

"The war has been going on, and both of us are in a stalemate, so... what about the unspeakable? Although we have only heard of its pronouns, we are still aware of its existence, don't we? Why have we not yet Encountered its attack?"

  This sounds like the way the watchmen act, but when you think about it, both are considered to be of the same kind, Watson felt nothing unusual.

  The pioneer looked at Watson, flesh and blood and machinery were completely integrated, becoming an inhuman existence, but the pioneer was not surprised, he had seen too much in his long life.

  "Do you really know the unspeakable?"

  He asked.

"Its form, nature, way of thinking, display of power, history of existence... You see, you can’t answer, you don’t know anything about it... But maybe there are some, you at least know that In this world, there is still such a dangerous thing."

   Watson was silent. As the pioneer said, after careful thinking, she realized that she knew nothing in her mind about the unspeakable.

"But, speaking of it, you've seen it a long time ago, haven't you? That's the reason Adlon chased you. You just caught a glimpse of the unspeakable, but this is very likely to put it from long sleep. Wake up in the middle, he won't let you go." The pioneer continued.

   "That...is it?"

Watson couldn't believe it, Lorenzo on the side also realized something. He knew that Watson was attacked by Adron after arriving at the Temple of Silence, and in the illusory Temple of Silence, Loren Zuo also touched vaguely.

   "What was the result of the war? Pioneers, you didn't kill it, so where did it go?"

  Lorenzo felt that he knew the dark and muddy history, and his body was shaking involuntarily.

"Oh?"

  The pioneer looked at Lorenzo again, he tasted Lorenzo's emotions, and also knew the cause and result of the incident.

   "Don't you know? Holmes."

   asked the pioneer, he was like an invisible bystander, watching the world indifferently.

  Lorenzo's voice was trembling, he whispered.

   "Another Holy Night... You captured it and imprisoned it under the Well of Sublimation."

  This is where the enemy is.

  "The sanctuary was actually our fortress, but in the subsequent reconstruction, it became a sanctuary.

  At the beginning, we poured more than one fortress with forbidden alloys. They are scattered all over the world, but due to the expansion of the unspeakable, most of them have been destroyed, and they will be buried forever under the soil.

The last war originated in Fort No. 6 here, but ended in Fort No. 13. We used Fortress No. 13 as a bait to attract it to attack. It stepped into the fortress and alienated all ordinary people into monsters. After that, the sublimates entered the arena, they fought all night, and under constant suppression, erosion could no longer effectively affect the sublimates, so it shaped the body. "

  Listening to the words of the pioneer, Lorenzo felt cold in his heart. He knew very well that it was a trap, a trap for the unspeakable.

  The will is illusory, unshaped, and difficult to touch, but when it has a substance, it can interfere with the world, and the world can also interfere with its substance.

  "It has the entity, we closed the door from the outside world, trapped it inside.

Before being assimilated, the sublimators suppressed its restlessness, and the prohibition of alloy blocked the possibility of the movement of the [gap], turning it into a well-built cage, and the final [Final Echo] was thrown into it, although not Can kill it, but also forced it to fall into deep sleep, to this day. "

  The pioneer recalled, watching Lorenzo and confiding the truth to him.

   "And you should be very clear about this place."

  "Still Temple, Well of Sublimation..." Lorenzo took a deep breath, "The saints built a temple above the prison, and under the radiance, it is a shadow that breeds evil."

  This is the description in the "Gospels". Lorenzo thought it was just a group of mad believers. Now it seems that this is a myth and misunderstanding of past history.

"We used a wide range of antimemes to make most of the survivors forget the existence of Fortress No. 13, thus cutting off most of the ways to recognize the unspeakable. Only a very small number of people need to watch this. The seat jail was allowed to know the existence of Fortress No. 13, but they didn't know what was in it.

Then there is the iteration of reincarnation. There are fewer and fewer ways to recognize, and the guy is sleeping in oblivion, but it is still too powerful, and there is still power leaking out. In some shadows that we can hardly see, demons breed. Appear. "

   "So the reason for the existence of the Demon Hunting Order in the first place was to guard the prison?"

  Lorenzo felt something was wrong. He felt that what the pioneer was telling was the truth, but not all. Listening to his description, Lorenzo always felt that there was something wrong with this long history, but he could hardly question it.

"No, according to our assumption, the unspeakable will be imprisoned forever after the forbidden metal, cut off all cognition, forgotten forever, even if the guards are the same, they will watch until they die, until everyone forgets all this. , This is what we are going to do."

  Isolation and erosion, forgotten forever.

The pioneers almost succeeded. According to their design, the threat of the Unspeakable will be eliminated, but it still survived firmly. Antimemetic failed to cut off all the ways. Although it fell into a deep sleep, the dream still sounded. Penetrating the forbidden metal, causing mortals to fall into a nightmare, unconsciously, prompting the birth of demons.

  In other words, Lorenzo has never faced this real enemy directly. For centuries, mankind has only been fighting against its dreams.

   "Then... why did the Demon Hunting Order appear on the prison later, it should have been forgotten, right?"

  Lorenzo did not understand, if deliberately concealed, why the Demon Hunting Order was built on this shadow, they also drew power from the well of sublimation...from the hands of the devil, they obtained the power to fight the devil.

   "This is another story, and the protagonist of this story has already come."

  The pioneer slowly got up and picked up the silver spear. He looked at the other end of the darkness and could hear the sound of the storm.

  Something is coming.

  At this time, Lorenzo suddenly realized that these words of the pioneer were just passing the time, he was waiting for someone, waiting for his arrival.

  "Pioneer...why, why should you help us?"

  Watson finally found the loopholes in this series of words, the black angel stretched out the iron feathers, and fireworks surged in the gaps.

"You guided the way, repelled Leviathan, and explained these mysteries to us... Then what about the previous ones? Merlin must have been unable to escape your vision when he arrived here. Why didn't you choose to tell him about this, but to us? Tell me?"

  There is no kindness that appears out of thin air, even if it is a strange and mysterious guy like Pioneer, who knows how much humanity the Pioneer still has to restrain him after these long years?

  He watched the world coldly for so long, why did he choose to take action at this moment and interfere with the direction of the world?

   "Because I have made a choice now."

  The pioneer raised his spear and pointed it in the direction of the storm.

  "The war has continued, but we have no room to fight back. In order to imprison the unspeakable, our civilization has gone backwards for centuries and will continue to go backwards in the years that follow.

  We have lost the ability to eradicate the unspeakable, and we can only pray for its long sleep, but its dream sound is so strong that it has set off a dark tide again and again in this world.

  Faced with this barren world, what is the use of the Secret Keepers even if they keep the human fire? Factories will not be built out of thin air, weapons will not sharpen themselves, not to mention that the unspeakable contaminates most of the knowledge, those stored carriers can only be destroyed, history is broken, technology collapses, and we even the most Basic forbidden alloys are difficult to smelt.

  We had to start again, and then we failed under the impact of the demon. "

  The pioneer laughed.

"You are not the only one who has tried to change all this, Holmes, in these long years, there have been too many people worthy of being called heroes, but without exception, they all failed and turned into dust. , Forgotten."

  The former secret guards are all withered, the glory of the past has also become dimmed, most of the guards are lost, and history and knowledge have become blurred and unrecognizable.

  The country builders rebuilt civilization time and time again, but they all collapsed in the babble of the unspeakable, and then started again. Under constant reincarnation, everything turned into a handful of loess.

  Only the unspeakable enjoy eternal sleep.

  Lorenzo was a little uneasy, he murmured a question.

   "Then what is your choice? Pioneer."

"I?"

  The pioneer thought for a while, and then answered.

  "Why don't you admit your failure? The reality has proved that we still cannot kill it with all the power of human beings. We just reluctantly imprison it and put it into a long sleep.

  This does not prove more, that this is a greater existence, this is the path that mankind should embark on, is it? "

  Lorenzo drew the nail sword, the black angel also stretched out his iron feathers, and the epidemic doctor turned into a scarlet beast with sharp fangs.

   "You...want to wake it up?"

  Lorenzo woke up, gritted his teeth.

   "Yes, look at this world, Holmes, the glory of the past has become so messy, why not just put an end to it, and devote yourself to a greater existence?"

  The words of the pioneers turned into crazy whispers, and they shook like thunder in the ears of several people.

   "Nothing is eternal, and so is human history. Since we are already in the midst of chronic death, why not just put an end to it?"

  There were many cracks on the mottled silver armor, and the breath of evil and hatred overflowed from the gap. Lorenzo could not describe this feeling. For a moment, he only felt endless darkness and despair.

  Bone and flesh, rolling eyeballs and cut-open heart, the exposed lungs expand and shrink, and the baby’s crying amidst the hot pool of blood...

  Suddenly, Lorenzo felt a big hand penetrated his abdomen, grabbed his internal organs, twisted it fiercely, and even tore off all the muscles and bones.

  This is the world after death, the world after being swallowed by the unspeakable.

  So those people will yearn for death to escape this darker despair.

   "Don't worry, I won't kill you. The reason why I have done so much is just to give you a chance and give mankind the last chance to resist."

  The voice of the pioneer has a twisted smile.

  I don’t know if he really wants to do this, or that the only one in the end, the indelible humanity is at work. After all this is done, the Pioneer chooses to show his purpose.

   "No matter what the result is, everything about this sin will come to an end."

Lorenzo took a deep breath, the negative emotions in his mind instantly rose to its maximum, and the arm holding the nail sword began to tremble, as if Lorenzo would wave his sword and cut off his head in the next second to end this long pain. .

  He smelled blood.

  In the midst of this obscure madness, Lorenzo reluctantly turned his head. He saw Frocky who was wailing. He held the pen tightly with both hands and pressed it firmly against his neck, piercing the skin and flesh and blood.

  He wailed, praying for the end of the pain.

  Lorenzo kicked it over, kicked Froky over, interrupted his suicide, and at the same time waved the nail sword, trying to kill the pioneer, but then a deeper darkness enveloped Lorenzo's mind.

  He lost all his strength and fell heavily to the ground. He saw a blurred face in the corner of his sight.

  Lorenzo knew that it was a pioneer, but no matter how hard he snooped, he couldn't read the appearance of the pioneer from his line of sight. There was no trace of useful information, as if he was facing an absolute [empty].

   "Unspeakable..."

  Lorenzo whispered.

  Like the well of sublimation that imprisoned the unspeakable, this silver armor was not used to guard against [Gap] attacks at all, but to restrain the pioneer so as not to leak this crazy power.

  As the pioneer said, more cracks broke out on the silver armor, and he was about to burst out of the cage.

   "A fair war that ends all wars."

  After speaking, the mottled spikes pierced the night sky, and plunged into the ice layer with a coldness. The next day, the dense iron forest was reflected into a ferocious group of shadows.

  At the end of the light, Adren Levien strode forward.

  He growled in disgust.

   "Roger Cruz!"
