Wasteland Echoer

Chapter 244 The Old Palace (Part 2)

Life is the most fragile product created by the Creator in the silent nightmare. It is easy to wither.

No matter how gorgeous it is, how powerful it seems, as long as it is stared at by a terrifying thing, it will fall apart in an instant.

When Pusef's gunfire stopped with the smoke drifting from the muzzle, Wright's eyes lost focus, his lips trembled slightly, and he stared ahead blankly.

Because the bullets are fired from directly above the head, the "Lone Wolf" series of guns are similar to the "Bear" series, both of which are famous for their great power.

Otherwise, when executing dangerous characters and facing the Lost, "Evil Souls", alien Heartless, huge monsters and monsters, they simply cannot penetrate objects contaminated by evil and extraordinary power.

Sadness, excitement, anger, fear and helplessness filled Wright's chaotic brain. They were like spoons, stirring the already chaotic brain tissue, causing Wright to feel heartbreaking pain but unable to move. Not even the slightest bit of body.

Brett's silver-white "hair" was doused with bright, scarlet liquid that kept spewing out, turning it into a devilishly red existence.

His green eyes had drooped out of their sockets and gradually turned into two turbid "glass balls".

His sharp-edged, militant-looking face has lost its original shape. If it could be called haggard just now, it is now a complete masterpiece of an abstract sculptor.

The broken, twisted, and tortuous "beauty" lingers on the broken head, and the saliva flowing from the corner of Brett's mouth adds the "finishing touch" to this abstract sculpture.

"Brett...Brett..." Wright murmured with dull eyes, his head shaking unconsciously, his arms hovering in mid-air, wanting to step forward and touch Brett, but he didn't dare to touch this body that seemed to be able to The fear is "deep in my heart" and my head is gradually losing its vitality.

"The Crusad poet Gurji said: 'Death is the most splendid point. The wandering soul will follow its thoughts to the kingdom of heaven or the lava kingdom where the god of hell is entrenched. After death comes, the new body and the new Thoughts will be born from corrupted things.' For Brett, a mutant, instead of living like a dull object all his life, it is better for the soul to go to a city where there are no lost people wandering around, and a wilderness where there are no careless people."

"You have to remember, Wright. I am not killing or executing Brett, but I am clearing the way for the 'paradise' that I, George, you, and all the citizens of the Zine Empire long for. I am helping Brett. I want to be liberated, instead of killing for no reason like those lost people." Pusev said with a slight guilty conscience.

Immediately afterwards, he unexpectedly blew out the flame from the gun muzzle, looked at Wright who was slumped on the ground, and cast a proud look at George.

"You should take a look at him, my... subordinate Wright. If he has been in this mental state, I am afraid he will not be able to decipher the statue and find the key to the door to the divine realm. The lost ones in the Hope Church told me, Red The magic source power is only one of the keys. To open the divine realm, you also need 'inspiration' and 'wisdom.'" George half-crouched, frowning and tilting his head to look at the tall [Guardian] Pusef.

"There is no need, General George." Pusev said with disdain:

"He will serve mankind after all. Didn't you say it? Whether in Sokra, Migov, Chekavsk, even the old city of Donusk, or in the underground castle of the Church of the Night, he He has always insisted on his human identity. I think you should have noticed that his heart is already emitting an orchid light, which is the light that belongs to the 'lost people'. Even if he is frustrated and has gone insane, I hope to teach that person later. A group of collaborators will come over with the young dragon Thayer. If I remember correctly, Dylan among them is the [Deceiver], manipulating a walking corpse. I believe he is very skilled."

"Absolutely not!" George said coldly, his tone as cold as the Crusted Icefield, very decisive.

After squatting in silence and thinking for a few minutes, George slowly patted his waist and took out another box hidden in the armor.

After placing it steadily on the ground, George slowly said:

"I have invested too much in Wright. If I cannot gain a loyal, complete, and independent-minded manager of the future 'Paradise' now, I will lose a lot of 'silent costs'."

"For him?" Pusev stepped forward doubtfully, raised Wright's handsome face with his hand and looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and said doubtfully:

"So...what did you waste on this child?"

"Waste? Do you know? During the 'Mechanical Singing' ceremony in the Lost Swamp, the entire 'Lost-03' team, the team I personally brought out, could not withstand the violent power of the god's apostle, except for him. I know that now Only half of Wright is his original self, and the other half may be an apostle of the gods, or a wandering soul. Even so, I still pulled this old face, using 30% of the equity of the Mechanical Element Factory, and fifteen Ten thousand new coins bought him the right to enter the holy city of Sokra and join the guard. Pusev, you have formed the 'Lone Wolf Society' for decades, right? You and your disciple 'Young Wolf' Ivan are better than The vast majority of superpowers in the city of Sugra are much stronger, and you are trying to completely fall to Ivant. Even so, has he obtained the 'ticket' for you even to a second-tier city?"

"Of course not. We don't care. After all, we are used to living in the wilderness." Pusev responded naturally.

"Don't comfort yourself. The empire is no longer in the early days of the New Yuan Dynasty. Everyone worked together to fight against the Heartless and the Lost. It is a land of hope with the same enemy. It is rotten, like a rag that can no longer be spliced ​​or repaired. Even if you want to To 'restore' it and reconstruct the so-called 'order' is just to cover it with another, more worn and dirty tablecloth. It's a bit far-fetched..."

George sighed secretly, shook his head, looked at Wright who was still leaning on Brett limply, sitting on the ground crying, mumbling in his throat, and continued:

"Ward is an old subordinate of mine. He has fought for me through life and death for more than thirty years. I remember twenty years ago, during the first battle to recapture Zhenetsk, if he hadn't rushed into the wave of 'unintentional people' with a bomb in his arms, I threw it hard and hit the leading ten-meter-tall 'double-eyed man'. I'm afraid I had already been killed by the burning liquid gushing out of its eyes. Pusev, you know why I mentioned it. him?"

"How do I know about you?" Pusev shrugged, looking confused.

"After I sent Wright, who was groggy and not yet fully awake, to Lena's rental house, the person who arranged to monitor, protect and help him was Ward. You should know that if Wright's body is really destroyed by the apostle of God, If occupied, he will definitely massacre everyone crazily. In order to prevent accidents, I ask Ward to always pay attention to Wright's mental state, and if necessary... die with him."

"There are also Natasha, Sayi and Yato. When I learned that Wright was in good spirits but had just lost some memory, I used Natasha, Sayi and Yato to help him activate his body. The power given by the gods is the so-called key to opening the divine realm, the 'red magic source power'. In order to protect Wright and me from the 'treason' and 'enemies' crimes stipulated in the "Socra Public Security Law" I turned a blind eye and let Yato and Say go, and let the disposal center execute Natasha in the name of the lost. So, even if Wright calms down later, I really have to fight with If you and I do it, you must not hurt him." George said in a commanding tone.

Immediately, he didn't bother to check Pusev's reaction, but just fiddled with the dark box.

The box is not big and has a standard angular mechanical texture. On the surface is a simple drawing of two withered yellow gears misaligned together, and behind it is a small "silver double-headed eagle" emblem representing the empire.

George stretched out his scarred fingers that had taken off his tactical gloves and pressed the "gear sketch", and a golden sunset-like light flowed along the gears to every gap.

In an instant, the box was opened, revealing the complex and exquisite mechanical structure inside, as well as a crest made of metal made of "Annihilation Demon".

"Small 'Demon Annihilation' machine? Where did you get it? As far as I know, before the 'Blood Clan's Dinner' that day, Vladimirski suffered a big loss on these things." Pusev looked surprised. He stared at the box that glowed like tiny golden particles.

George did not answer him directly, but carefully lifted the box with the "Demon Annihilation" emblem as its core from the ground with both hands, and said with his back to Pusev:

"A person experiencing pain needs to vent in a limited way. Before he releases his anger, there is an absolute forbidden area of ​​​​the magic source power."

Woo! Woo! Woo!

While the two were talking, Wright let out a low, beastly cry from his throat.

George and Pusef turned to look at the sound. In the meantime, Wright pushed away Brett, who had completely lost his life. He staggered like a ghost returning from the underworld and spoke with sharp, angry, and full words. He stared at the two of them with murderous eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a low "whimper" came out of his throat that was not human, a low-pitched cry made by cats when they were angry.

Faced with the extremely aggressive Wright, George and Pusef were naturally unwilling to take action. After all, under the restrictions of the "Demon Annihilation" series of heraldry that "forbids magic power", Wright could not use the red magic power, let alone use madness. As powerful as the "Touch of Darkness", if they simply fight for strength, two powerful "veterans" with decades of combat experience can naturally easily deal with Wright's attack.

After Wright finished venting his anger and recognized George's good intentions and the indisputable reality, he believed that Wright would make a decisive decision and join the "Paradise" without hesitation to interpret the mystery of the statue for them.

But Wright's choice was beyond their expectations. Wright did not directly attack the two men, nor did he take out a "Wild Bear" pistol with few bullets and shoot.

Instead, a twisted and weird smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and after letting out a horrifying laugh like "giggle", Wright's figure flickered on the spot, leaving an afterimage.

Immediately afterwards, they heard the terrifying "gurgling" sound made by the [Soldier] who was behind Wright with a military dagger pressed against his neck, as well as the sound of heavy objects toppling.

Snapped!

George and Pusef looked up and couldn't help but gasped. In the blink of an eye, Wright took away the soldier's dagger and cut a circle around his neck.

What fell in the end was not his seemingly tall and majestic body, but the head with a terrifying and ferocious expression hidden under the mask.

"You... all... have to... pay for... Brett... with your life... He... definitely shouldn't... die like this..." Wright whispered with resentment.

He stumbled and walked in the direction of Pusev with heavy steps.

Every time Wright took a step forward, George and Pusef were forced to take a step back.

Wright's unexpected speed and ferocity completely disrupted the pre-deployment of George and the two. When several people stopped and faced off in a strange atmosphere, Pusev's mind flashed through the second season of domination. Portrait of Frederick VI the Tyrant of the Pusius Empire and his deeds.

I remember that half a century before the Pusius Empire was on the verge of collapse, there was a heavy rainstorm that was rare in a century in the capital of the empire.

The heavy rains at that time lasted for more than two months, causing the Mamous River to overflow, submerging many villages and farmland in the "Imperial Capital District", and triggering a ten-year rebellion called "Yuanming's Sorrow".

The rebels once captured a large area of ​​territory in what is now the old Uko and Telin provinces, including Migov, Sunida, Kofu, Innskent and Briblis.

They rebelled against the empire's ever-increasing tax burdens with strange names, such as the "window tax," the "water tax," the "fire tax," and so on.

It was not until three years before the death of Frederick VI that the rebellion was suppressed and completely suppressed by the legions equipped with "Heraldry Demonic Weapons" at that time.

In the final "Prisoner Sacrifice Ceremony", "The Tyrant" relied on a sequential monster called "Psius Dagger" and the developed "Evil Condensation Gene" in his body to flash his body, Send these rebels to the Lord in no time.

But this rebellion also emptied the empire's national power. His successor Lothar V, the "Struggler", eventually hanged himself amid internal and external troubles, unable to even maintain the honor of the nobility.

In the end, the Rurik family relied on "musketeers" and "primitive artillery" to take over Pusius and established a new Zine Empire that lasted for thousands of years.

George and Pusef shuddered at the thought. After all, they did not expect Wright to be so angry, and they did not know whether there was a developed "evil-condensing gene" in Wright's body, nor did they know how the red magic source power and the Church of the Dark Night catalyzed the power in Wright's body, making him Possess short-term powerful explosive power!

Facing Wright, who was full of murderous intentions, they chose to take out their guns, aim at Wright's body and shoot him.

bump! bump! bump! bump! …

The bullets ejected from the muzzle hit the ground, leaving behind bursts of flickering sparks.

Wright's agility seemed to reach places he had never touched due to his anger, and he could easily dodge even bullets.

After all, George is an experienced warrior and holds a box that exudes the power of the "Demon Annihilation" emblem in one hand. Pusev is a physically powerful [Guardian]. Under Wright's rapid attack, they only suffered a little pain. Non-itchy skin wounds.

But Wright, who nimbly shuttles among more than 20 people like a cat, seems to have his final target not just George and Pusef.

Under a burst of blood-colored radiance, George discovered that the more than 20 members of the escort team behind him were either "opening their hearts", their hearts were pierced, and red blood with a fishy smell was flowing out; or they were "replacing their throats with their mouths" ", their throats were slashed, and all of them lost their lives in an instant.

Faced with a situation that was almost out of control, looking at Wright who was panting on the spot, teeth bared at the corners of his mouth like a beast, and a terrifying smile with satisfaction, Pusev swallowed, hesitated for two steps, and relied on his strong body to He lunged towards Wright.
