Ember Gun

  Chapter 67 Separate Operation

The cold evening breeze in the dark corner poured in with the opened car door, and the Kestrel fell in the corner, frowning on the closed eyes, and the fine sweat oozing from his forehead, as if he was doing something unable to wake up. It's like a nightmare.

  This situation lasted for about a few minutes, and then a weak current was released from the electrode buried in the flesh and blood, passing through his nerves, repeatedly stimulating, until he woke up leisurely.

Kestrel looked at all this collapsed in confusion. After a brief stupefaction, he sobbed in pain and got up on the ground laboriously. Then he stretched his hand to the back of his neck and pulled the small cables off and pulled them together. There are electrodes and blood buried under the skin of the neck.

  This is a device called insurance. Everyone who fights against a monster will have such a thing. When the consciousness is corroded, it will release an electric current to wake up itself.

  But the trigger rate of this thing is more metaphysical. Fortunately, it triggered this time, so the Kestrel woke up. It felt really uncomfortable. It was like being beaten by someone, and the whole body exuded fatigue and pain.

   "What happened to...?"

Kestrel looked at the opened door and recalled the last scene at the time. Lorenzo didn't know what he had found, and suddenly rushed out. Then the Radiance was as if it had hit something. The entire train stopped abruptly under resistance, and Kestrel also So hit the wall and fainted.

  But Kestrel remembered what, he was confused and finally saw Eve opened the car door and went out.

  Eve!

  Thinking of the girl Kestrel, he woke up in an instant, enduring the physical pain, he picked up the gun on the side and limped out.

Only a handful of people know the secret of Eve, even the Kestrel only knows a little bit of it, but like seeing the shadow of something, you can infer its terrible nature from the shadow alone, and the truth is also true. .

  Eve can’t die here, at least shouldn’t die so meaninglessly.

  Thinking about this, the Kestrel came to the outside world. The entire surface was altered by the distorted flesh and blood. It was obviously an endless wilderness, but under its effect, it turned into a complex terrain with unevenness.

"Where are you?"

  Kestrel muttered to himself, glanced constantly, and finally he saw that at the end of the field of vision, Eve's figure swayed on a raised hilltop.

  ……

  The eyes can see the picture, the nose can smell the breath, the touch can perceive the material of things, and the ear can understand the fluctuation of the sound.

  Sometimes Eve wonders whether the so-called intuition is also a perceptual organ, like something that cannot be perceived in a conventional way. It needs this thing called intuition to observe in the end.

  At this moment, Eve was following her intuition. After the violent bumps, she staggered out by herself. It was clear that it was difficult for her to kill the demon, but she was suddenly not afraid of death, and moved forward slowly.

  Looking at the green light rising at the end of the horizon, Eve knew very well that it was her destination, as if something was waiting for her, calling her to come.

  The people around seemed to be dreaming. When they came out, everyone closed their eyes and gasped slightly.

In other words, what Eve herself experienced at the moment was like a dream. After all, she had never seen the mighty force that could change the terrain in such a short period of time. The huge flesh and blood completely exceeded her understanding of creatures, and the weird green screen covered it. Above the night sky.

  All this is like an absurd dream, and the dream is intertwined with reality, so the world falls into endless madness.

  There was a faint roar from a distant place, and it seemed that the creature named that monster was also on the ground. Eve clenched the silver revolver in his hand and speeded up the pace.

  She also didn't know what was under the green light, but like a sense of ritual, when she arrived, she would definitely find something, whether it was the cruel reality or the way to end the nightmare.

   "Eve!"

   Suddenly a voice rang from the back, and the person hurriedly called her.

Eve turned her head subconsciously and then the burning warhead passed her. The aluminum heat bomb released intense heat and penetrated the demon that suddenly appeared behind her. The demon's whereabouts were very secret, but he was killed by the Kestrel when she finally attacked. Noticed.

This high-ranking knight showed extremely strong physical fitness at the moment, carrying heavy equipment and catching up with Eve in such a short time, pushing her away, and the Kestrel continued to fire at the monster struggling in the fire. Until the liquid metal poured it thoroughly, he stopped the fire, put down the gun, and panted violently.

"what are you doing?"

  Kestrel looked at her anxiously and puzzledly, leaving the protection of the carriage so rashly, she might be killed by a passing demon.

   "There... there is something..."

  Eve also didn't know how to describe her feeling, she pointed under the green light.

Looking at Eve’s serious look, according to the normal plot, Kestrel will definitely reprimand her for her behavior, and then forcibly lead her back to the safe compartment, but the plot must be abnormal, but Kestrel seems to have listened to Eve’s words. General asked rhetorically.

   "What do you think is there?"

  He seemed to care about Eve's words very much, his face was serious.

  This reaction made Eve feel a little surprised, she thought about it, and finally said.

   "The source..."

   "The source?"

  Kestrel nodded, he seemed to understand the meaning of the word, and he continued.

  "You know, the connection between darkness is like a vortex. The more the connection deepens, our weight in the vortex will increase, and it will be easier to be drawn into the dark center."

  "Like a swamp, Lorenzo described it to me like this. People who fight with demons are like fighting in a swamp. The more you fight, the deeper you will sink."

   Eve replied, the connection between her and the darkness continued to deepen, until there was no more barrier between them.

   "That's good to say, but what I want to say is that when you connect with the dark deeper, you can see the dark...Do you know what I mean?"

  Kestrel is holding the aluminum thermal rifle, his expression is serious.

   "You mean... where is the source of pollution!"

   Eve said with some excitement and fear.

   "Yes, if your connection with the dark is so deep, then your instincts are right, at least I have nothing but irritability along the way."

  Kestrel trusted Eve inexplicably, then he said.

   "Now we need a new plan."

   "What do you mean?"

   "What else is there, we already know its approximate location, and the rest is to find a way to destroy it."

  Kestrel raised the aluminum thermal rifle in his hand as he spoke, and a flame was burning on the igniter at the front, which was extremely bright.

   "This should be a large-scale mental anomaly. It can be seen that it has been so quiet until now. The other guys should be still sleeping."

  "Do we need to go back and wake them up?"

  Eve felt that it was the right plan to go back and wake up those guys now. Only with the two of them, Eve felt that she couldn't get there anyway.

  However, Kestrel shook his head and said.

   "No, the most dangerous place now is the carriage. If they can wake up under this wide range of mental anomalies, nothing will happen. Once they can't wake up, they will be corroded into monsters."

  Kestrel said calmly, squeezed the gun in his hand, and then strode forward.

  "The optimal solution now is for the two of us to determine the location of the pollution source, and then signal the rest of the people who can wake up."

   "But isn't the communication disrupted?"

  Eve picked up a communicator before leaving, and there was silence inside, and no one responded to his message.

   "So I brought a flare."

  Kestrel proudly revealed the weapon around his waist, an incendiary launcher.
