Killing the US fear starts from the fatal bend

Chapter 143 Old William's Retirement Ceremony and the Truth of Everything (6000-word chapter)
Harpier acted very quickly, and within an hour, Luke wiped out all the monsters summoned from the remaining five corpse towers. Only a few four or five demons were killed by the police or brave "good citizens". Several small patches of pollution were formed in the city.

After this lap, Luke killed more than 100 demons in total. After Luke killed the last monster in the corpse tower, his experience points were enough to upgrade.

The source of the current incident-the corpse tower and the black beam of light have not yet been resolved, but Luke is not in the slightest panic.

The sky is falling and there is a tall one, he has done enough for Phoenix City, let's get promoted first.

He found a safe place, and the crows fell in black everywhere to ensure that no one would sneak attack.

Half of his mind sank into the ability tree space.

With the upgrade, the ability tree seems to grow a little bit taller.

Information about the gains from the upgrade came to mind.

Up to the eleventh level, Luke's soul strength and body strength each increase a little, the body strength reaches 12 points, and the soul strength reaches 17 points.

In addition, I also got a chance to integrate skills.

The so-called skill fusion means that skills with strong correlations can be combined to form a new powerful skill.

If there are too few related skills and there is nothing that can be integrated, you can also choose to combine a certain skill with the concept of "mirror" to form a brand new skill.

Luke observed his status bar. As he continued to hunt and kill monsters, his skill bar has become more and more abundant, and two of them can no longer provide blessings because their attribute values ​​are too high.

After thinking about it, he decided to combine the abilities of several physiques first, and try to turn waste into treasure.

Following his wishes, the ability tree also gave a reminder that the connection rate is 84%, and the fusion effect is better.

He made up his mind, and on the ability tree, the four skill branches representing [rough skin and thick flesh] [natural power] [extraordinary sensitivity] and [strong gift] began to move slowly, gradually entangled together, and merged into a brand new thick branch Dry.

Formation of new skills:
[Thousands of tempering] The strength of the body is increased by 2 points, and a tough protective film is formed under the skin on the body surface.

After the new skill was formed, Luke's body strength reached 13 points.

He felt it a little bit, and pinched the flesh on his arm. The tough skin didn't seem to exist, and it only appeared when he was attacked.

After the upgrade, Luke took Harpy to the sky to observe, and the seven black beams of light were still standing in the city.

He made a phone call first, and then drove the birds and beasts under him to fly towards the intersection of the beams of light.

After a while, Luke arrived near the meeting point. There was a thick layer of black mist on the ground, and a dozen people stood scattered beside the black mist.

He took a closer look from the sky, good guy, all the acquaintances are here.

Fenris, director of Waldburg, took four or five people including Daxter and Yaska, and introduced to Luke the FBI agent Lansford who had extraordinary knowledge of pollution, as well as Alfred and some other agents whom he had just met.

In addition to these two waves of teams, there are also some scattered superhumans who are not in command of each other. They should be non-governmental superhumans or police consultants.

No wonder I didn't meet extraordinary people when we were cleaning up the demons, and the co-authors came here directly.

The people on the field were trying their best against the black mist, and from time to time they could see the traces of "flame ray" and "flame tongue technique". They should be "classmates" of the flame school.

Luke fell to the ground, found the most familiar Daxter, and understood the current situation.

Dust told Luke the situation in as concise a language as possible.

It turned out that since the beam of light began to appear, the special affairs handling brigade had already been notified and entered the city quickly.

At this time, the FBI has already begun to arrange to contain the monsters that appeared in the seven corpse towers. Containing demons is a thankless task. Since someone is fully responsible, they will naturally stop asking for trouble and simply go directly to the intersection of the beams of light. here.

After all, this place is the most critical and core position at first glance.

The black mist has existed since their arrival, and during this time, they have used different methods to investigate the interior.

The energy system blows dissipated without a sound after entering the black mist.

A grumpy old bodybuilder rushed in with his head sullen, and with an "ah", he was gone.

The rest of the people did not dare to go in.

Several extraordinary people with summoned objects drove several birds and beasts in, and those summoned objects died before their masters noticed any useful information.

Now people are using various means to try to dispel the black mist.

The fog didn't move like a black beam of light. The FBI just took a few individual bazookas and shot it, and the violent explosion cleared away some of the fog around it in an instant.

But after all, the explosion effect was only for a moment, and soon the thick mist filled the empty space again.

An unknown agent, who looked like the head of the FBI in Phoenix, was furious: "Damn it, take all the AT-4s from Baiyan Company, and then ask the army to come to the city to help, blow up the motherfucker! "

Luke called Harpy to come down, took out the [flame candlestick] and three ordinary candles prepared in advance from the bag on its back, and walked to the side of the mist.

Seeing that a newcomer was trying, the others tacitly stopped and let the stage out.

Luke inserted three candles into the candlestick one by one, stretched out his left index finger, and a small spiritual flame lit the three candles.

As the three candles were lit one by one, the candlesticks emitted a burst of soft light. Although the light was not as strong as the lighting technique, it was extremely tenacious. When it shone on the black mist, it was like detergent water meeting oil stains. They dissipate easily and achieve a stronger effect than a few rockets.

In the mist, faint black lines were gradually exposed. Those lines were the same as the cracks in the space created when the corpse tower summoned demons, and their positions were still changing irregularly.

A human corpse broken into more than a dozen pieces and the mutilated corpses of several birds and beasts were scattered everywhere.

Damn it, it's no wonder that the people and animals that came in are all dead. With no vision, facing such dense and moving space cracks, even if you have [Spider Sensing], once you enter rashly, you may not be able to survive.

Seeing this miraculous scene, the people around cheered up.

The leader of the FBI stopped the subordinate who was about to make a phone call to shake people: "Don't go, don't go, we can handle it ourselves."

Soon, thicker and thicker darkness surged out from the center of the mist, rivaling the candlelight and preventing them from penetrating deeper.

Luke looked in, the cracks in the space were relatively dense, and it was unknown how many cracks or other dangers there were in the deepest darkness.

Looking at the thick black fog in front of him, Luke looked back and said to everyone: "I need silk thread or cloth with rich energy."

He thought about making some special candles on the spot, but when he scanned around, no one responded.

No way.

At any rate, being present can be regarded as the elite of the extraordinary group in Phoenix City, so poor?

Or is it that silk threads with rich energy are particularly rare?

At this moment, Luke was keenly aware that a lone female transcendent quietly retreated to the back of the crowd and stretched her hands to her waist.

She's not right!

Luke commanded a crow to fly to the female Transcendent at a high speed, and then [Transformation] behind her.

He grabbed her hand that was making small movements, pulled it out, and brought out a .
Black Lace inner cool?

Or a sexy T word?
Under the eyes of more than a dozen people on the field, Luke awkwardly let go of the hand that was tightly pinching the opponent's wrist. He didn't know where to put his five fingers, and his toes directly dug out an underground maze.

Lilinette was also awkward in place.

Half a year ago, she got some cloth made from the silk of supernatural insects. Because the quantity was too rare, she simply made it into a pair of inner clothes.

After hearing Luke's inquiry, she didn't plan to take it out.

As a result, none of the people present seemed to have this kind of supernatural material. In desperation, she quietly hid behind, planning to cut the fabric a little so that the shape could not be seen at a glance, and then handed it to Luke.

Unexpectedly, she just put her hand in, undid a convenience button, let it loose, and was about to pull it out, when Luke suddenly appeared in front of her and raised her hand
want to die want to die
Just let the Phoenix City be destroyed.
Seeing everyone's eyes turned over, Lilinette said in a stumbling manner, "This is a supernatural material. It can be used by you."

you fucking!
What is called for me to use.
Luke wished he could get on Harpy and fly to the continent of Europa in one go, and find a place where no one was around to live in seclusion.

But fantasies are just fantasies, and life has to go on.

He took the strange fabric with one finger stiffly, neither touching it nor not touching it.

The two stood in a stalemate for more than ten seconds. Lilinite couldn't stand the strange atmosphere, so she snatched the thing, her hair was entangled together, forming a knife blade, and she swiped across it neatly, cutting T The font-shaped cloth was cut into several strips, and then stuffed back into Luke's hand.

Luke walked to the crowd pretending to be calm, coughed twice, and asked loudly: "Is there anyone with extraordinary physique? I still need a little blood."

A muscular man with a bald head and a fleshy face walked up to Luke and stretched out his arms.

"Use mine, as long as you can break through these damned fogs, you can use as much as you want."

He was the younger brother of the irritable old brother who died in the mist. If someone hadn't pulled him, he would have almost rushed in the moment his brother died.

At this time, with the hope of avenging his brother, he stood up without hesitation.

Luke originally planned to go to the forest to make special candles with the silk thread and body fluids of the spiders after Old William's retirement ceremony was over today, so the tools and ingredients were all ready.

The original ordinary candle itself was made of soybean wax. He melted a few candles with spiritual energy, took out the autumn saffron that he had bought in advance from Harpier, squeezed out the juice and added it, and then put it on the forearm of the bald man. Open a wound and let the energy-rich blood mix into it.

When everything was ready, Luke twisted the black lace fabric into thin strips, placed them in the middle of the wax oil, and then took out the "Frost Touch" spell that Dust gave him, released a little power, accelerated The candle solidifies and takes shape.

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, the three candles were quickly completed.

Luke stuck the candle in the candlestick and lit it with psionic flame.

Fierce flames emanated from the candlesticks, and compared to the gentle light before, the flames at this time were more aggressive.

He walked near the black mist with a candlestick in his hand.

Those thick and sticky black mist, like frost flowers in the sun, quickly melted away without a trace, revealing a figure in the center.

At the foot of the figure was a strange and complicated formation. He was staring up at the intersection of the beams of light. When he noticed that the fog had dissipated, he turned his gaze back to the ground and said hello to Luke: "Hey, I'm so sorry that I missed my retirement." Ritual. You know, us old people, we always stubbornly think that we can work for a few more years, so I found myself a new job."

He still had that gentle smile on his face: "Looking at your battle, I'm doing pretty well in my job."

Luke looked at the man in surprise, it turned out to be Old William!
"It's you!" Luke recalled every bit of the time since he met him.

Every time a case involving the "seven deadly sins" is involved, he always appears by his side.

Seven deadly sins, seven cases, even Luke missed "laziness", only him, all the cases are in it.

"Jealous" Patrick was his dead body.

There was an emergency at that time, Luke put down the search of Patrick's house, went to kill "Gluttony", and old William rushed to the scene just right after the gluttony died.

I remember that he arrived with the support of the police station at that time, saying that he was worried about the situation of Amisha and Luke, and handed over the work of collecting evidence at another scene to others.

After Luke left, the corpse of "Gluttony" should also be restrained by him.

After "Lust" died, it was Old William who sent Abu to the hospital and took the body away by the way.

Luke suddenly thought of another thing.

Daxter told him that once he planned to tell Luke that the corpses of supernatural beings would be brought back, and there would be extra subsidies from the authorities, but he was interrupted by something and forgot.

That was after "arrogance" was eliminated, he was about to say it when Old William patted him on the shoulder, casually said something else gossip, and forgot about it.

The "arrogant", "furious" and "greedy" corpses were all handled by Old William.

Luke gave it all to him every time because he was too lazy to deal with it.

"Laziness" was killed by the old William himself, and how to deal with the corpse was completely up to him.

He asked: "Those corpse towers are all made with those corpses as the core?"

He didn't specify, but Old William still understood what he meant, and said in a leisurely tone: "As expected of you, Luke, you react quickly. Sometimes I really envy you young people, you are quick in response and full of energy."

Halfway through, he shook his head, "No, it's not envy. I was so jealous of you at that time, and Amisha, Joseph and you guys."

"You are young, full of vigor in everything you do, and white-skinned. You are a fish in water in this country full of racial discrimination. Especially you, Luke, are handsome, good-blooded, and possess extraordinary abilities without going to the abyss. As retirement approaches, The jealousy in my heart can hardly be suppressed."

"Fortunately, we were the first to kill Patrick. He was the bearer of my original sin of jealousy. With his death, my jealousy also went away. Otherwise, I didn't have such a good mentality and kept following him. at your side."

"As my original sin bearers died one by one, my sins were purified. Luke, thank you also for helping me become a sinless person."

After saying these words, he even drew a cross on his chest and prayed like a devout Christian:
"O merciful Father, I have lost sight of my sin, and I have just committed the sin of arrogance."

After praying, he tilted his head and looked at Luke: "Should a devout believer confess to the priest like this? Unfortunately, God didn't give me a chance, and the abyss gave me rebirth."

Luke stopped listening to him, the "fireball" model was activated, and a huge fireball flew out of a perfect mirror within the range of the space crack. Under the guidance of Luke's spiritual power, it drew a strange arc, dodging one after another Through the slowly moving crack, it flew towards Old William at the center.

Old William flicked his hand lightly, and a jet of dark black energy flew out in front of him in the form of a hurricane, easily offsetting the fireball.

Other people with remote control ability also followed Luke to attack, but they were all easily blocked by Old William.

Like a bad-mouthed villain who hasn't spoken for a long time, he kept nagging: "Don't bother, Luke, although you have grown up fast, the world still belongs to the old guys now. In this city Only that reckless Albert can stop me, but unfortunately he has already gone to the Braddock Fox mine to investigate the non-existing parasitic demon group, and he will definitely not be able to come back now."

"Bradock Fox Mine? That was also arranged by you?" Luke asked in surprise.

"Of course." Old William nodded. "Although Albert is simple in mind, his strength is not simple. If he is not transferred away, this sacrifice ceremony may not be so easy to complete."

"Speaking of which, the people in the special affairs handling brigade are really easy to deceive. They just made up the illusion of a parasitic race, and then used the 'seven deadly sins' to stir up the emotions of the members of the investigation team and let them kill each other. Sure enough, they were fooled."

He took the initiative to bring up this matter, and Luke asked, "The parasitic monster that Karl encountered was also arranged by you?"

Old William still had a gentle smile on his face: "Yes, it's me. That parasite was a failed experiment made by Weatherf before. Karl turned back. Of course, although this script was a bit beyond my expectations, the effect is surprisingly good. You see...you all believe that there is such a group of demons that use parasitism as a means of survival."

Seeing old William say these words lightly, Luke shouted angrily: "He is your friend for decades!"

"Yeah, a friend of decades, it must be understandable for him to sacrifice a little for my great plan. After all, his malignant tumor has reached an advanced stage. Even if he doesn't encounter monsters, how long can he live?"

At this time, the seven beams of light in the sky suddenly paused, and then instantly collapsed.

In front of Old William, narrow and long cracks appeared at an accelerated rate, instantly merging into a huge hole.

Numerous figures appeared in the cave entrance. The lower body of the shadow at the front was a big snake, and the upper body looked a bit like a human female, but there were six arms on both sides of the body, and each arm was wielding a vicious blade.

Dozens of demons surged out after her. Although the number was half that summoned by the previous seven corpse towers, it was obvious that each of them was much stronger than those two low-level demons.

The pitch-black hole has not disappeared yet, and more low-level demons rushed towards this world frantically along the gap between the two worlds. Soon hundreds of low-level demons such as original demons and cowardly demons filled the field and scattered around. go.

The Transcendents behind Luke had bitter expressions on their faces. Some of them had seen the situation and were about to flee, but most of them were still holding their weapons tightly and preparing to fight.

The head of the FBI asked the young agent beside him, "Is the military support coming soon?"

The young detective looked confused, "Didn't you say you won't ask for help?"

The leader slapped him hard on the head, "I said I won't ask if I don't ask for it, do you have a point of judgment! Go ask for help, find a safe place to call, and then go to guide them. If the army can’t be invited, don’t come back either!”

The young detective took out the walkie-talkie, explained a few words to his colleagues far away, and then said with a straight face: "I'm not going, I'm here, and I won't leave if you don't leave."

The leader looked at him, sighed, and handed him an outrageously large caliber pistol from his waist, saying, "Didn't you always want to try this savage hunter? If you survive, I'll give it to you. "

"What about you?" the young detective asked after taking the gun.

"Me? I don't need this." The leader of the agent took off his coat, and his muscles squirmed, and his whole body grew more than ten centimeters in an instant, and the muscles outside his body also swelled like a monster. "I'm the one who broke wrists with Albert."

He silently concealed the follow-up result of his wrist being broken.

"Luke, you really grew up too fast. I'm worried that I won't be able to kill you this time. After a few years, you will easily defeat me. Therefore, I will tell you all the plans during this period, You dragged here. Unexpectedly, you really didn't escape."

Old William walked forward and said to Luke: "Are you controlled by curiosity, or do you really love Phoenix City so much? Little Luke, I'm waiting for the arrival of the lizard and its legion. what are you waiting for?"

"He's waiting for me."

A chubby and honest figure flew towards the blazing flames, and the sea of ​​flames covered the entire sky. He waved his hand forward, and the sea of ​​flames flowed down the abyss passage like a waterfall. In the pale flames, countless The demons that were pouring out were instantly charred and turned into fly ash.

This fly ash was not caused by Luke absorbing all the energy after a kill, but the pure high temperature burned all the flesh into ashes, and all the bones were calcined into ashes.

This is where the name "Ashbringer" comes from.
