Ember Gun

  Chapter 509 Root

   "We are walking on the ice layer full of cracks, facing the violent wind and snow dust."

  A voice rang in 016's ears. She opened her eyes and saw the familiar ice field and the bright night sky. She remembered that this should be Lorenzo's [Gap].

   Consciousness was a little trance, like a dream after waking up, she vaguely remembered who she was confronting with just now, but the memory gradually became blurred until it shattered and disappeared.

  "The things we desire are at the end of the wind and snow, but we are too heavy, with mortal despicableness and desire.

The more we move forward, the more fragile this ice layer is. Every place of our footing will bring countless cracks. The cold sea water overflows from the cracks. The entire ice layer is crumbling and it can no longer support our weight. It seems that In the next second we will fall into the sea of ​​ice. "

047 was sitting on the other side of the bench. He was looking at the other end of the icefield. In his eyes, 042 was advancing against the wind and snow. His steps were staggering, and he would fall over every few steps, and then struggle again. climb up.

   "We are so heavy, so we have to abandon something in order to move forward on this fragile ice surface."

  047 turned his head and looked at 016.

"What do you think?"

  "What do you think? If you need to give it up, give it up. As long as you can get there, what's there to miss?" 016 thought about it and wanted to answer.

   "Is that really the case?"

  047 looked very troubled. He watched 042 fall into the sea. He struggled vigorously and climbed ashore, seeming to be resting, and then stepped on the ice again.

  "If we abandon everything, wouldn't we become ‘blank’."

"so what?"

   "So ‘blank’ us, remember why we went there?"

  As the sound fell, everything fell into endless tranquility. The splashing water, the flying snow, and the burst of ice, all things froze at this moment.

  In the distance 042 maintained the forward posture, stiff in place like a sculpture. He stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch something, but in front of him there was only a chaos that was difficult to see.

"What did you say?"

  016 looked at 047 incomprehensibly, a very strange feeling emerged in her heart, and she couldn't explain it clearly.

  "We must have embarked on the road of no return for some reason, but if we abandon even this original reason, when we reach the end of this road, will all this make sense?"

  In order to make this wish, after thousands of hardships, I reached the end of the road, and lost my wish just before the wish was realized.

  Does all this make sense?

  The stagnant time was shattered, everything was on the right track again, 042 ran forward vigorously, the cracks in the ice followed his steps, and he was about to reach the end. It was also at this time that he saw the lost people.

  Their bodies are so light, after abandoning everything and making themselves blank, nothing can restrain them anymore, their bodies slowly rise into the sky, their eyes hollow, as if they were dead.

  Hundreds of blank corpses are suspended in the sky.

  ……

   Furious malice rose up in the office, invisible tentacles scratching the surrounding things like crazy, exposing the mouth of the blood basin, and wantonly devouring the lives of living people.

  At this moment, Eve can deeply feel the shape of "despair", can smell its breath, listen to its whispers, and inspire the most primitive emotions.

  Fear.

Eye pupils tightened, heartbeat accelerated, and body temperature increased. The power of the Ranger took effect at this moment. Under the suppression of this ordinary person's loss of reason, Eve broke away from her control. She waved her folding knife, although she didn't know what was going on. , But the violent fear in her heart urged her to attack.

   killed Watson.

  The distance is so close, probably less than three or four meters away, but at this moment it has become so long, Eve took a difficult step and raised the folding knife.

  It can be seen that Watson has taken off most of his crown, only some of the edges are still close to his forehead, and a white storm is rolled up in those tired eyes, so dazzling, beautiful and thrilling.

  Come on, Eve, as long as you send the steel in your hands into the heart of this woman, as long as you prevent the spread of this strange power, as long as...

Eve cheered for herself from the bottom of her heart, but as soon as she took a step, her body began to be out of control. The force called erosion was acting on her body. The cause of getting too close to the source of erosion was not just the growth of negative emotions. There is also the influence of the five senses.

  There was an illusion of vision, the whiteness in the pupils was distorted into a scorching sun, and the shadows in the room could be seen squirming, like boiling black water, it seemed that something was about to crawl out of it.

what happened?

  Eve was puzzled, her vision began to shake, remembering that her pace was very steady, but now Eve is falling to the ground, erosion affecting her senses, and even walking has become difficult at this moment.

   fell awkwardly, she turned her head to the side, just in time to see Watson sitting by the wall, the whiteness of her eyes became brighter, and she almost swallowed Eve completely.

  Want to...dead?

  Eve’s gaze was dull, and under the suppression of erosion, it was even difficult for her to recall her past before she died. She could only die ridiculously like this, just like this...

  In an instant, all the strangeness disappeared.

  It seemed that there was an invisible mighty force that stopped the growth of darkness in an instant, and saw Watson's hideous face, blue veins beating on his arms, and he wore the crown of Holy Silver back again, isolating his dark will from the flesh and blood.

  In this way, everything has ushered in peace.

  This calm lasted for a long time. Both Watson and Eve looked exhausted at the moment, and heavy breathing echoed in the meantime.

I don’t know how long Eve finally relieved from the depression brought by the erosion. She tried to stand up, but she was weak and could only be like Watson. She moved back a few times and leaned against the window. .

   "Are you... trying to kill me?"

   Eve asked with lingering fear, still reverberating with the fear and despair just now, death is so close to her.

   Watson did not respond. In order to contain her crazy thoughts, she almost used up all her spare energy.

  She lowered her head and looked at her palm. Watson should have been wary of those crazy babblings.

  After learning the secrets of the old pope, Watson and the new pope went deep beyond the fence, almost touching the buried evil.

Watson thought she was hiding well, but in fact she was captured by the unspeakable power a long time ago. The Silents fought so hard to keep this power out of the fence, and now she and the new pope, Out of the pursuit of the truth, this power was touched again.

  She doesn't know how to describe this evil force. If she has to have a name, it may be called [root], a twisted and crazy [root].

   "My [Sublimation] is not incomplete."

   Watson whispered, his voice was very low, so low that Eve could not hear what she was saying.

For a long time, Watson felt that they were the same as Lorenzo. They had undergone [sublimation], but the [sublimation] was not complete. Lorenzo was still bound by the body, and Watson could not go further under the emptiness of the will. .

  But suddenly, Watson didn't think so.

Watson’s [Sublimation] is complete, but there are still too many impurities in her body, which prevents her from being able to fully ascend to a higher existence. There is a vague guess in her heart. Perhaps she will listen to the voice of [Root Cause] and abandon everything, Watson Then these impurities can be removed and upgraded.

  Whether it is her or Lorenzo, they already have the [voucher] to open the door, but they can't give up everything, and it's hard to get through the fragile ice.

  So...what will it become if you give up everything?

  The silent one? Or is it the so-called "root cause"?

  Watson could not guess any deeper secrets, but she was extremely afraid of the end of it all.

  At the moment when she took off the crown, a strange hallucination suddenly flashed before her eyes. The dead 047 was talking some strange things to herself on the bench.

  Yes, if you really abandon everything, will you still be yourself?

   "Why did you give up? You should be able to kill me. Why did you give up at the end?"

  Eve asked again, now she feels much better, and her stripped senses are gradually recovering, she sits where she is, and does not act rashly.

"what?"

  Watson was called back to reality by Eve's words, and ended the crazy conjecture. She seemed a little dull, and she said slowly after a long time in a daze.

   "You are Lorenzo's friend, he will be sad if you die."

Probably for this reason, maybe he did not have the courage to give up everything, maybe he was still attached to the complexity of human nature, maybe it was for Lorenzo Holmes...In short, Watson woke up at the last moment. Break free from loss of control.

   "Is that so?"

  Eve showed a helpless smile. She didn't expect to save herself for this reason. It was ridiculous.

  The warm sunlight fell on Eve through the window, and it was warm, dispelling a lot of the cold from the bottom of her heart. She looked at the sluggish Watson, and then recalled the ridiculous reason just now.

   "Chenhui Advance."

  Hearing Eve's voice, Watson raised his head.

"Lorenzo is on that ship, and this ship is taking them to the Viking countries... He has been away for many days. Maybe he has already arrived in the Viking countries. If you want to find him, you may have to Quicken the pace."

  The voice paused, remembering the weird Watson just now, she added.

   "But you are his friend, so this shouldn't bother you."

  Eve smiled at Watson, threw the jackknife beside him, and stuck it firmly on the floor in front of Watson.

   "Bring it, you will use it."

  　 Double change, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be able to code it.
