My players are so fierce

Chapter 975 974. Waiting in a fragmented eternity

Murphy woke up from the resonance of ancient memories.

His first reaction when he opened his eyes was to take out the blood crystal stone and tell Lord Paying what he saw.

He didn't know if the Lord knew about the dishonorable role played by Grand Duke Constance in that incident after awakening his ancient memory, but he was certain that the main reason for the problems with the vampire's perfect life experiment was that Constance was there. The "master gene module" provided at the end was what turned the seven subjects directly into the carriers of subspace shadows in the material world.

From this memory of Constance's final farewell to Edward, we can tell that the "original sin" in her mouth should refer to the current object of Dusk's worship, the chaotic villain who longs to launch a annihilation in the material world.

But there are many details in that last memory.

Murphy is still unclear about what Constance's "Secret Department" studied thousands of years ago. From what she means, they seem to have entered some kind of taboo area strictly prohibited by the Creator. Before that, The research focus of this department is on gods.

Gee, that sounds like a mad scientist.

In the first memory of Sese, Constance also confessed to Edward that their research on divine power failed, and that the experiment also involved the participation of Congressman Vidia, but combined with Vidia, he had become imprisoned at this time. The old gods, so what happened after that sounds a bit scary.

Murphy looked at the blood crystal in his hand at this moment. He was always decisive in matters related to dusk and subspace threats, and he was rarely hesitant.

He knew that if he told Pa Ying these things, the Lord's first reaction would definitely be to go and capture the current Grand Duke of the Secret Blood Clan, and force the candidate to be bound to let Murphy figure out Kang through ancient memories. What exactly did Stans do? In the name of betrayal, she broke old Edward's legs and dragged him to Murphy for in-depth confirmation of the facts.

However, judging from these ancient memories, old Edward did nothing bad except hooking up with the coquettish old aunt and having promiscuous relationships between men and women thousands of years ago.

My own impression of "Grand Duke Wolfsbane is a big bad guy" was obviously skewed.

He is indeed a bastard and one of the biggest enemies of the Blood Vulture Clan.

But at least he was not a dangerous person thousands of years ago. Compared with what Constance and Charlemagne were doing, Edward was already extremely normal. Therefore, for the Grand Duke Wolfsbane, the real The question is what has he been doing for the past thousand years?

The mysterious capsule that Constance gave Edward at the end of her memory helped him resist the memory formatting of the Beta program. Coupled with the instructions of the Archduke of Secret Blood, with old Edward's acting style, he might not be able to survive for this thousand years. The remnants of the secret department have been secretly hunting down.

Murphy was filled with doubts.

He urgently needed to analyze the various inside stories of this matter with others. After thinking about it, he activated the blood crystal.

The Lord's image soon appeared in front of Murphy's eyes. He, who has a mysophobia, frowned when he saw the sewer environment Murphy was in. He was obviously very dissatisfied with this conversation environment.

"Don't be too busy getting angry. Besides, if you are doing something important, we can make an appointment later."

Murphy rubbed his eyebrows and said:

"I'm sure after hearing the news I brought, you won't be in the mood to do anything else."

"Um?"

The Lord raised his eyebrows.

Due to the various outrageous operations Murphy had made before, he hesitated and asked:

"So, is it a good thing? Or a bad thing?"

"Well, it depends on how you define good or bad. For me, it's a mixture of good and bad."

Murphy slapped his somewhat confused mind and sighed:

"I just saw old Edward from a distance on the city wall. This was the first time I met him. When I saw him, it triggered the resonance of ancient memories. This is the main reason why I am hiding here now.

I think you know what this means. "

The Lord's expression changed instantly.

When he bound the candidates of the blood alliance before, he experienced the special state of memory resonance. Now that Old Edward can trigger it without binding the candidates, it only shows that Archduke Wolfsbane has no amnesia at all.

In a thousand years of confusion, when all the ancients are trying their best to find ancient memories, when brothers and sisters who have lost their memory and are burdened with a heavy past stab each other with the sharp blade of betrayal, as the entire vampire civilization continues When sex was lost in blood-draining sins and years of depravity, old Edward disguised himself.

That guy had deceived them for a whole thousand years!

This is a crime!

Regardless of the reason why he chose to deceive, however, this concealment alone was enough for Lord Paying to hold the holy spear to find that guy's trouble. However, judging from Murphy's complicated expression, Lord Paying could I judged that what he wanted to tell me was much more than just this.

The Lord took a deep breath to calm down his angry self and asked:

"anything else?"

"Also, Ms. Constance single-handedly caused the big explosion in the Eden District. She used special drugs to help old Edward preserve his memory. Her secret department entered the taboos of the Creator, and she was suspected of discovering something extraordinary. the truth.

She said herself that she deserved to die, and that everyone in the department where she was working deserved to die.

I know that the head of the secret department is Senator Steiner, so he should be your colleague, right? So, what exactly does that department study? "

Murphy frowned and asked:

"Didn't the management committee of a thousand years ago have an accountability mechanism? Don't you care about these private actions? Long before that perfect life experiment led to a catastrophe, the secret department was creating monsters in batches.

As far as I know, they are still in contact with Vidia and have secretly studied gods together. "

"The study of gods and divinity is not a secret, Murphy. That proposal was approved after months of discussion by the committee."

The Lord explained hesitantly:

“In the Golden Age, the ‘jailer’ troops I led were responsible for guarding the cages of gods left by the Creator, but we soon discovered that the Creator did not seal all the old gods in the primitive world.

There are also some wandering nature gods who demarcate their own territories in a barbaric and primitive manner, posing great hidden dangers to the development of the Eden area and the advancement of the Creator's blueprint.

So we started that project to study the deities' weaknesses and counter them.

That's not an evil experiment!

The secret department finally came up with a mature and reliable plan, allowing the jailer troops to capture four old gods and keep them under guard within five years.

Well, ‘Aurora’ was one of them.

As for the responsibilities of the secret department, you can tell from this matter that they are a department dedicated to researching and countering issues that will have a huge impact on the advancement of the world blueprint and the life greenhouse project.

Its essence is a scientific research system formed by the most outstanding researchers from all races. Vidia, Fatto and Constance are all members of it, but they are responsible for different projects. "

The Lord sighed and said:

"The importance of that department makes it the focus of other departments. In addition to the prison department, the Ministry of Internal Affairs where Oksana works is directly responsible for evaluating the projects they propose. In some extremely dangerous projects, it is even required By authorization of the Sentinel Legion.

As for Senator Steiner.

I.

Murphy, I don’t remember this person!

But since you have told so many details, I am sure that he must exist. However, some kind of force forcefully plucked this person out of my memory. When I tried to remember, in that memory The blank space must not be faked. "

"Then can I make a guess that one of the three resolutions when the Scepter of God was activated came from this guy or his successor?"

Murphy asked:

"To be more direct, is this guy the villain leader who single-handedly formed Twilight?"

"There's no proof, but it's a strong possibility."

The Lord also felt the difficulty. He thought for a moment and said:

"Don't interfere with Edward's affairs. I'll handle it."

"What are you going to do about it?"

Murphy asked:

"Confront him face to face? What if he still quibbles? Old Edward obviously knows a lot of details, but the biggest problem is that we can't prove it. The resonance of ancient memories is not omnipotent. I can only go through Sarokdar's perspective. Going through what he went through.

This requires that when those important things happen, my old patriarch must be present at the same time as Edward.

This prerequisite also means that everything I see is incomplete. This incompleteness prevents many hidden secrets from being discovered smoothly. It would be a bit too hasty for you to prepare to deal with an ancient archduke based on this alone. . "

"I was the commander of the Jailer Force, Murphy."

The Lord stood up and said in a stern tone:

"The Holy Spear of Eternal Silence also has the function of interrogation. This is a midnight sacred object that is to be used in conjunction with the innate power of the Blood Alliance clan. If Edward is not ready to confess all this to me, then I assure you that the Wolfsbane clan will do it tomorrow morning. , it’s time to change a leader!

This is definitely not something he can hide through lies.

Because of his concealment, we have lost three ancient ones in a row in the past thousand years!

If he had spoken out sooner, Oksana, Charlemagne, and Sarokdar wouldn't have had to die so miserably.

He was responsible for their deaths!

He must be responsible too!

Leave it to me, Murphy, and I'll take care of it. "

The smell of blood mixed in the Lord's words made Murphy shudder. He mourned for old Edward in his heart and then cut off the communication. He moved his neck and stood up and said to Captain Paula beside him:

"It's okay, let's go and find the steam lords to continue working. You didn't hear anything just now! Unless you are willing to meet Lord Paying who comes with a holy spear on a sleepless night. , discuss the harsh confidentiality agreement."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Captain Paula asked with clear eyes:

"I seemed to be suffering from intermittent deafness just now or I was too nervous. In short, I didn't have time to pay attention to you, okay? This sewer is too dangerous. There seems to be something terrible hidden in the darkness. It almost scared me to death. ”

"Well, I have to thank you for your help just now."

Murphy raised his eyebrows and blinked, and followed Paula along the sewers toward the center of the city. At the same time, he felt in his heart that the resonance of ancient memories this time was quite serious.

Although he watched the awkward story between Edward and Ms. Constance, at least he didn't get into the dilemma between himself and Shani. That was good. If he continued to be entangled like that, Murphy would have more than ten words to explain.

This made him feel strangely better.

But there is still a little bit of weird regret. Shani's emotional changes in the first three embarrassments are also quite interesting, from anger and shock at the beginning, to resistance and resistance, to despair the third time.

Oops, I can’t think about it anymore, Murphy, Murphy, you are a vampire lord with status! He is a gentleman who respects women very much. You are so disgraceful that you are full of pornographic waste!

He warned himself thus and followed Paula up the sewer escalator.

As a result, just halfway through the climb, a weird dizziness emerged from his brain. Murphy felt bad and cursed how there was a second half of this memory resonance!

He had already guessed what was going to happen next. Amidst Captain Paula's scream, the vampire lord fell down the escalator and hit the ground with a thud.

The memory scroll in front of him slowly unfolded, and it unfolded from Edward's perspective.

At this time, Edward, who was carrying two gifts, was walking vigorously in the cabin of the Scarlet Dawn, intending to give the fine protective gear he made to Salokdar and his wife Oksana as their gift for this trip. A reward for transporting the craftsmen of Eden District to the Creation Engine, and improving his relationship with Sarokdar.

The conflict between the two of them has been around for a long time.

Before the vampire's home planet was destroyed, the two men and their respective clans had been hostile for thousands of years.

Edward and Salokdar were contemporaries, and there was always some kind of competition between the two geniuses. Coupled with the cumbersome, ancient, and sinister cultural promotion of the vampires, this competition gradually turned into hostility.

However, those past grievances disappeared like smoke from the past after the explosion of the home star.

The vampire's master craftsman walked to the bridge where Sarokdar was, and was about to call the door when he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from inside.

Edward's expression suddenly changed slightly.

He had already guessed what Salokdar and Oksana were doing inside.

The guy showed a weird smile, put the gift box in his hand at the cabin door, and was about to turn around and leave.

He is not a sultry guy like Charlemagne and likes to listen to the wall. However, just when Edward took a few steps, he saw Ms. Constance wearing "simple clothes" leaning against the door of her cabin, holding a folder in her hand. Smoking an unlit ladies cigarette.

She complained to Edward and said:

"The soundproofing of this spaceship is too bad. I really shouldn't have chosen this place. Those two guys were particularly excited today. They were so noisy that I couldn't sleep. You just happened to be here."

"Well, the craftsmen are still waiting for me to go back for a meeting."

Edward smiled awkwardly, but in the next moment, Ms. Constance grabbed his tie and pulled him into the cabin.

Well, this Ancient Memories is actually a link between the first and second episodes.

But Murphy had no time to focus on that.

Because of some special "memory meme" properties of ancient memories, when Edward intervened in that incident, his mind was also pulled back into Salokdar's body, and the Scarlet Dawn switched to the luxury of autonomous driving. In the bridge, he looked at Ms. Oksana riding on him through Sarokdar's eyes.

The complicated look in the other party's eyes means that there is another "implicated" soul in this tempting body at the moment.

"This time it was really an accident."

Murphy used the resonance of his soul to convey his sincere apology. He said:

"Believe me! I really didn't do it on purpose."

"Stop talking, I believe you are not in Transia at all now, and there is no way you can do bad things."

Shani's heartbroken voice came from the other side, and she asked:

"So who did you meet that activated the memory resonance? Let me guess, old Edward didn't actually have amnesia and you just met him, right?"

"Huh? What did you do?"

"Ms. Oksana discovered this secret more than eight hundred years ago. What I didn't tell you is that of the six times she went to the ruins of the Eden District, the last two were with Edward. Don't worry, Mo Fei.

Edward is not a bad person.

At least not the kind of bad guy who needs our full attention.

Damn it!

Hurry up this time, okay?

I'm in a meeting with the wolf girl, you'd better not make me too embarrassed in front of my juniors."

——

At the same time, on the position in the outer city of Port Chardeau.

Lord Paying put down the psychic whetstone in his hand, touched the sharp blade of the holy spear with his fingers, and then stood up to end the matter, but at the same time, a knock on the door sounded.

"Come in."

The Lord said something.

The next second, Old Edward pushed the door in and closed the door smoothly.

Lord Paying stared at him, his eyes complex and with a hint of severity that could not be ignored. Edward knew that if he didn't show something real today, I'm afraid his thousands of years of life would end here.

Paying was really angry.

Such murderous intent reminded him of the years before the fall of the last fortress on the home planet, the Land of Glory. Ah, the blood-stained "Lord of the Commandments" was still as impartial, indifferent and inviolable as in those faded memories.

Under the stern gaze, Edward took out the diary that he never left behind, turned to the first few pages, and handed it to the Lord.

The latter took it in his hand and glanced at it. There were more than fifty names written on it.

More than 40 of them are marked with red lines.

"I killed them myself, on every hunt for the past thousand years."

Edward moved his wrist and said hoarsely:

"Day after day of searching, day after day of tracking, day after day of exploration, we will pull out those bastards who killed Constance from the nooks and crannies of this chaotic era, and then use them in the most terrifying way. Give them the most painful and prolonged death.

I didn't tell you because the secret department is still operating secretly.

Compared with their long-standing threat, Dusk is nothing more than a group of clowns under the guise of destroying the world.

The hunt continues, Paying.

I now formally invite you to complete it with me. There are not many left, and I will willingly submit to your judgment when the last one howls to death. "

"What I'm more curious about is why Constance did that!"

Lord Paying looked at the bloody records in the diary. He looked at Edward and said:

"And why are you doing this?"

"I don't know and I don't care. I just know that Constance was killed by them."

Edward lowered his head and touched the well-maintained but very old pair of gauntlets on his hands. He said in a choked tone:

"As for why I am. You see, after losing the focus of my life, I have to find something to do for myself to avoid being swallowed up by the endless emptiness. I am not as selfless as you, Paying. The life and death of other people has nothing to do with me.

However, in this ruin where joy is gone, endless waiting is more difficult than eternity.

Therefore, I ask you one last time."

Lord Wolfsbane grasped the hilt of the Thorn of Fear at his waist.

He stared at Lord Paying and said in a deep voice:

"You were the last person to see Constance, tell me! Paing, is she really dead?"

"She's dead, Edward."

The Lord said coldly:

"It disappeared in front of me. The one who accompanied us out of the Eden District was just a clone, and she eventually embarked on the road of self-destruction."

"I don't believe it! A person as smart as her will always leave a way out for herself. She must still be waiting for me somewhere in the world!"

Edward took a deep breath, released his weapon, and said to the Lord:

"If you don't plan to kill me today, then please forgive me for resigning. I will continue to walk and search every corner of the world.

I will meet her again.

I promised her that I would find her in the next life! "

"Let's explain things clearly before we leave!"

"It's all in the diary. You can read it for yourself. I know why you are so angry, but even if I say it, I can't save those who should have died. The destruction of Eden District represents the end of an era. Those of us The remnants of the party should perish along with that era.

That's where we ended up.

You still have me.

Paying, we will all die miserably in a pool of our own blood like them, but this time, I will not allow myself to set foot on that road alone."
