The beginning of Meiman is a Zanpakuto

1915, British Empire.

During World War I, the whole of Britain was shrouded in the haze of German artillery fire.

The empire that has ruled the world for nearly half a century is like an old lion king on the grassland, facing the sunset at the last moment of its life, struggling to raise its claws that are no longer sharp, and swinging towards the one who dares to invade.

Provoke its majestic enemies!

But unfortunately, what this old and disappointed man has to face is the ferocious Germany that has already risen!

The huge Zeppelin carried a large amount of ammunition to bomb the British coastal areas at the beginning of the year. It also bombed the capital London in May, causing damage to buildings in large residential areas and commercial areas.

At the call of Prime Minister Churchill, the entire British Empire moved!

Like clockwork embedded in gears, this huge war machine roared out. All factories continued to produce artillery shells, sending batches of young people to the battlefield.

The war was started by a group of old men, but it was the young people who paid the price!

A total of fifteen countries joined this war, which cast a shadow over Europe, the Pacific, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. It ultimately brought serious disasters to mankind and contributed to the deaths of tens of millions of people.

In order to commemorate those who died in the war, historians and politicians named it World War I.

But it is obvious that the only lesson humans have learned from history is that they will never learn lessons.

However, the above mentioned has nothing to do with Lord's goal of this trip. He is not here to prevent the world war, he is just looking for people.

After being captured by the Weeping Angel, the moment he opened his eyes again, he found that he had arrived in England a hundred years ago.

The patter...

The shrill cold rain cast a layer of sadness on the streets of England.

In the distance, there are several huge chimneys reaching into the sky. The thick black smoke emanating from them is like the claws of a devil reaching into the sky, adding a strange and ominous atmosphere to the foggy and gray sky.

The machinery and gears in the unknown factory were operating, making a deafening roar.

Several scarlet searchlights emitted huge light, penetrating the white mist that filled the surroundings and the heavy rain. It looked like a giant beast was watching him silently through the curtain of heavy rain.

Under the heavy rain, there were almost no pedestrians on the cobblestone streets.

This dispelled Lord's idea of ​​asking for directions. He covered himself with a thin layer of spiritual pressure, blocked out all the rain, and walked along this street towards the city center.

He planned to find someone first to ask where exactly this place was.

But Lord walked for nearly ten minutes without seeing a bright light, and he couldn't even feel the breath of a living person.

Except for the two scarlet search lights of the factory in the distant fog, the entire city was shrouded in darkness. No one could see a firelight, as if everyone had turned off the lights early and fell asleep.

Anyone who is not an idiot knows that there is definitely something wrong with the scene in front of you!

Although it is obscured by fog and cannot see the whole picture clearly, the range that spiritual pressure can be sensed is about more than a hundred square kilometers. It is considered a medium-sized city. This should not be the case no matter how small the population is!

"Is it the Weeping Angels?"

Lord frowned, having a vague feeling of something bad, and secretly becoming more vigilant.

The scope of the Absolute Domain extends to fifty meters around him as the center of the circle, and surveillance bacteria are deployed behind it to guard against the sudden appearance of the Weeping Angel, and he can react immediately if other creatures invade the domain.

After stopping and thinking for a moment, Lord decided to go to the factory to have a look.

The only place with light in the whole city, maybe you can get some useful information there, such as knowing where this ghost place is and where the hotel where Constantine and others are trapped is!

Lord gathered spiritual power on the soles of his feet and slowly floated into the sky, intending to fly directly through the fog.

However, at this moment.

Buzz——

A shiver struck the depths of his soul, swallowing him up as quickly as a raging flame.

His keen sixth sense told him that if he continued to climb higher, he would die in the next moment. There seemed to be something indescribable in the black smoke that could directly threaten his life!

Black smoke and white fog seem to separate the sky and the earth of this city.

It's like a clear line that defines the edge of life and death. Any creature that dares to touch this line will be swallowed by the black mist of death.

“…No flying?”

Before the investigation was clear, Lord decided that it was best for him to play it safe.

The source of this black smoke was the huge factory with scarlet searchlights on, and it was the only place he could go to at the moment.

The road to the factory is not easy.

The factory was built in the suburbs, so we couldn't take the main roads in the city, we could only take the muddy roads after the rain.

I believe anyone who has ever driven on a rainy day in the countryside knows how difficult it is to walk on a mud road after it rains. It is almost one foot deep and one foot shallow, and it is also accompanied by upturned mud. It can be said to be extremely annoying.

.

But if it's just to this extent, Lord actually doesn't care very much. The really difficult road is after leaving the city.

About three kilometers away from the factory, there is a section of black road paved with some strange material mixed with asphalt.

Pata~ Pata~

I don't know what was paved on the black road. The greasy and sticky feel made Lord feel very uncomfortable. Every foot felt like he was stepping in glue. When he pulled it out, he could even pull out silk threads, and there was even more smell in the rain.

A foul smell.

From the first time he saw this city to the present, he felt terrible, even a strong sense of disgust.

If he hadn't taken Constantine, Potts, and the mysterious unknown God of Death into consideration, Lord would probably have taken out the Blade Ruohuo and burned the city to pieces with flames, completely eliminating all threats from the source!

But unfortunately, he can't do this.

Lord suppressed the disgust and discomfort in his heart and stepped on this disgusting black road, getting closer to the factory in the mist.

As the distance got closer, he could finally get a glimpse of part of the factory's structure.

This is a huge factory in the shape of a ring, with a total height of about three floors, and each floor is almost ten meters long.

There are countless steel and iron beams built together outside, and finally a simple factory was erected. From the outside, it looks like a hedgehog, with protruding steel structures all over its body, and the two huge scarlet search lights.

, set up on the top floor of the factory.

However, compared to the weird shape of the factory, another thing caught Lord's attention.

Not far from the factory, there was a river used to dump industrial waste. However, the river had dried up long ago, exposing the deep ditch below.

What is piled in this ditch is not industrial waste.

Instead, they were piled up like mountains of minced meat and remains, as if they had been smashed into pieces by some kind of machinery. They exuded a disgusting rotten smell, and there was a steady stream of mutilated limbs and minced meat flowing in from the factory excretion pipes.

This ditch!

Judging from the characteristics of the minced meat and remains, Lord was almost certain that they came from 'human beings'. The factory in front of him was a bloody factory!

Now he knew why there was no one in the city, because everyone was here.
