Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 192 Under the Haze
……

"I am...?"

When Feng Huo opened his eyes again, he looked at the scene in front of him with a look of confusion in his eyes.

The pungent smell of disinfectant filled the air, and not a speck of dust could be seen on the snow-white ceiling.

ward...

Why is he here?
Feng Huo was stunned for a moment, and then, fragmented memories came flooding in, underground space, retreat, explosion...

That’s right, an explosion!
Feng Huo suddenly sat up from the hospital bed, and when he was about to get up, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a figure with all the bullets fired appeared in front of Feng Huo.

"woke up?"

Gun Bullet Full Hair looked at Feng Huo who was sitting up. He didn't show any excited reaction, but asked in a normal tone.

"Well, bullets...how long have I been unconscious?"

"Three days."

The bullets were all fired as he answered, glanced at the bandage wrapped around Feng Huo's body, and said:

"You were affected by the specially-made Aragami missile, and when you retreated, you withstood one of Sira's screams without protection. If you weren't lucky, you should be dead by now."

When Feng Huo heard this, he was slightly startled, then suddenly thought of something, and asked quickly:

"There are others, what will happen to them at the end of the day!"

After all the bullets were fired, he fell silent and did not answer. When Feng Huo saw this, his heart skipped a beat and he had a vague premonition.

"Dotian's injuries are less severe than yours, and his physique is stronger than yours. He woke up yesterday."

"Carter is still being rescued. His heart was seriously injured, and his other internal organs were almost completely shattered. Even with the medicine provided by the Black Sword boss, he could only barely breathe. I don't know if he can wake up."

"Lanny and Iron Shell...their location was too close to the explosion."

Having said this, Feng Huo fell silent after hearing the words. After a while, he asked in a hoarse voice:

"Has the body... been found?"

"Lanny's was found, the one with the iron shell...there is basically nothing left except the divine machine. Judging from the scene, it is estimated that it was eaten by the Aragami later."

quack.

Feng Huo's fists clenched unconsciously, and there were sounds in his knuckles. He looked down at the bandages on his body and said:

"What exactly happened at that time?"

"We were too careless. The Aragami camp disguised the special Aragami missile made by Poseidon as an ordinary Aragami missile and stuffed it into part of Kuadoliga's body."

Insert the Aragami missile produced by Poseidon into the body of an ordinary Kuadoliga?
There was a look of astonishment in Feng Huo's eyes, followed by a biting chill on his back. His lips wriggled slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"No one would have thought that Aragami had such a method, because it happened so suddenly that many people were blown to pieces without even reacting."

"In the end, the Black Sword boss used the boundary lift again, and he forced himself to work with the bosses like Chi Jia and Azheng to kill those Kuadoliga. In addition, the Adjudicator caused another tsunami, and finally managed to get rid of them. The situation has stabilized."

After firing all the bullets, he looked at the sharp fire in front of him and said no more.

In the ward, the atmosphere fell into a strange dead silence.

"Buzz!"

The silence was broken until the communication device with all the bullets fired suddenly sounded.

"Hey, it's me, what can I do..."

Pressing the switch with all bullets fired, he nodded and communicated with the human voice on the other end of the communication device.

But the next second, the palm with the bullet fully loaded trembled slightly, his expression froze, and after being silent for a while, he said in a somewhat obscure voice:
"I understand. Thank you for the notice. Thank you for your hard work."

As the voice fell, he hung up the phone with all the bullets fired, looked at the sharp fire in front of him, lowered his eyelids slightly, stared at the ground, and said in a deep voice:

"Carter couldn't hold on. Just now, his heartbeat completely stopped."

Feng Huo's pupils suddenly expanded and contracted, and his breathing suddenly suffocated.

"You don't know when the Aragami will attack again. Take the time to have a good rest. I'll go see Carter off first."

With all the bullets fired, he stood up and walked towards the door.

"Also, don't think too much. There are some things that you and I can't change."

After saying that, he left the ward with heavy steps, leaving Feng Huo alone sitting on the hospital bed, looking at the snow-white bedding in front of him, and clasping his four fingers tightly into his palms.

boom.

A fist hit the cold wall hard, blood flowed down the open wound, and an unwilling roar echoed in the ward.

……

……

"May your souls follow your beliefs and return to the Kingdom of God."

"May your will reach the other side of suffering and cross the underworld."

"willing……"

In the cold hall, pious prayers rang out on the ground covered with white cloth. Yan Yu was seen holding a staff, wearing a black nun's robe, and chanting with her eyes closed.

In the hall, scattered people stood at the door, lowering their heads, closing their eyes and chanting like Yan Yu. Their voices overlapped and circled little by little to the colorful dome of the hall.

Time passed little by little with the sound of prayers. Ten minutes later, Yan Yu slowly opened his eyes and ended his eulogy.

"Everyone, please go back and rest first. I know you must be very sad in your hearts now, but this war is not over yet. Please take good care of your bodies."

Yan Yu turned around, looked at the people behind him, said in a gentle tone, and quietly released a magic soothing technique to soothe the emotions in everyone's hearts.

The contractors at the door heard this and looked at the corpses covered with white cloth in the hall. They did not speak. They just bowed slightly to Yan Yu to express their gratitude, and then left the hall in a tacit understanding in a quiet atmosphere.

"Bullet, how's the sharp fire?"

After walking through two long corridors, Dotian asked at a corner while firing all the bullets beside him.

"Already woke up."

"Really? That's fine."

When Mo Tian heard this, an unnatural smile appeared on his face. After saying something with a smile, he continued to walk forward.

"The end of the world."

"what happened?"

"Pay attention to rest, there will be a tough battle ahead."

"Ok, I know."

……

……

[*Warning: The professional skill [Oracle Blood] has exceeded the pioneer's current physical attribute endurance limit. If it continues to increase, the [Oracle Corrosion Value] will increase significantly. 】

"Has it reached the limit?"

In the room, Xin Lailai was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the personal panel in front of him and murmuring softly.

……

【Xinlailai】

力量：47（31+7+2+7）

体力：48（32+7+2+7）

敏捷：48（32+7+2+7）

Intelligence: 44 (37+10+2)

……

Even if the bonus of the breathing method has increased again due to the decline in basic attributes, it will not be able to completely return to the first-order extreme attribute value. "In this way, two-thirds of the attribute points earned in the Black Clover world have been returned."

Xin Lailai looked at his basic attributes that had fallen back to the edge of 30, with a look of helplessness on his face.

I only got 60 attribute points after a deadly battle with an enemy of the level of the Yiyuan Afterimage. As a result, I had already gained 40 attribute points before I even finished enjoying the world.

"Looking at the bright side, this means I have saved my life twice."

Xin Lailai smiled self-deprecatingly and looked at his right wrist. He saw that the corrosion marks like corpse spots that were only a little on the wrist had now spread to his entire forearm.

[Erosion value: 4.6%]

"Hiding missiles made from forbidden species inside ordinary species, these guys really learned a tricky tactic."

Xin Lailai lay down on the bed, stretched out his limbs, and looked at the ceiling, with a deep look in his dark pupils.

Lost.

Although this battle lasted for just two days and ended prematurely, and finally succeeded in forcing the Aragami back, Xin Lailai knew very well that they lost miserably in this battle.

Only 51 contractors survived, and the God Machine Hands lost more than 200 people in one battle, while on the Aragami side, at least [-]% of the Aragami survived.

The most important thing is that the adjudicator was forced to take action.

Xin Lailai knew very well that there was an upper limit on the number of times the Judge could intervene on the battlefield, and it would fluctuate between 1 and 6 times according to the difficulty of the war world.

At the same time, once the last count is used, the judge will be immediately deprived of his identity as a judge and is prohibited from intervening on the battlefield.

From the beginning of the God Eater World to the present, the total number of times the Judge has helped them is no more, no less, exactly 5 times.

Xin Lailai did not expect that the judge would bear the punishment of Paradise to help them this last time. That was simply unrealistic.

In other words, from now on, they will no longer be able to get any help from the Adjudicator.

"Have you been cornered...?"

……

……

"Hey, what a coincidence. It turns out that you can also drink, Zheng?"

Next to the vending machine, Amamiya Ritsou looked at Azheng who was holding a can of beer smaller than his hand and said hello.

"When I feel uncomfortable, I drink it occasionally."

Ah Zheng answered, looking at the foaming beer in front of him, and drank it in one gulp.

"Well, you are quite honest."

Hearing this, Amamiya Ringtong shrugged helplessly and threw the unopened can of beer in Azheng's direction.

"Mr. Gentian, do you want me to help open it?"

Ah Zheng caught the beer and asked. Hearing this, Amamiya Ringtong sighed:

"As a treat, I'm treating you to a drink from this can, not asking you to open the can for me."

"Really? Thanks a lot, Mr. Gentian."

Ah Zheng heard this and thanked him.

"You're welcome. It's better to say that this thing is worthless now. In the past, the ladies in the logistics army would still take care of me, but now no one cares about me stealing wine from there."

Amemiya Ringdan sat next to Azheng, lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff, looked at the dim light above his head, blew out the smoke, and said with some emotion, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his pupils.

"Mr. Gentian, smoke..."

"Okay, okay, I know, by the way, you should at least check the atmosphere. It's hard to please girls if you don't know how to be funny."

"The God of Justice has said that deliberate love cannot last forever on the path of justice."

"Isn't it that your god has to take care of this?"

The corners of Amamiya Ritsou's mouth twitched and he complained.

“It’s not a matter of control, but it’s the counsel He gives us.”

Ah Zheng shook his head and said seriously.

"He hasn't been dumped by a girl before, right?"

"The God of Justice said that he once admired the goddess of destiny very much and took her as the goal of his efforts, but after finding his own path, he has let go of this relationship."

"Now I'm a little curious about what your gods do in their daily lives."

"If he is the God of Justice, he will go to bed early and get up early every day. After getting up, he will exercise for an hour, and then handle the official affairs within the God of Justice. After lunch, he will spend two hours to mobilize the power of faith. Before going to bed, he will exercise seriously. Learn theoretical knowledge for an hour..."

Ah Zheng kept chattering and talked for a long time before stopping.

"Um, what you said is true?"

Amamiya Ritsou asked with a somewhat stiff expression, obviously not expecting Azheng to answer such a question seriously.

"real."

Ah Zheng said with certainty, looking extremely serious.

"..."

Amamiya Ritsou was silent for a while, not knowing how to continue the topic, so he could only lean on the sofa silently and smoke a cigarette quietly.

"By the way, will your God of Justice bless a mother who is pregnant with a child?"

I don't know how long it took, but after the sparks from the cigarette in Amamiya Ringtong's hand were extinguished little by little, Amamiya Ringtong's voice sounded again.

"If the mother you are talking about is a person with a righteous heart, then I believe that she has already been protected by the God of Justice invisibly."

Ah Zheng said in a pious tone, holding the holy cross hanging around his neck with his right hand.

"Have you already been blessed invisibly..."

Amemiya Ritsou repeated this sentence softly, then took a deep look at Azheng who was standing aside, and laughed:
"In a sense, this sentence is indeed correct."

Amamiya Ringtong said with a smile. Just as he was about to get up and leave, Azheng's voice sounded from behind:

"Mr. Gentian."

Amemiya Ringtong turned around and saw Azheng looking at him seriously, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"Not only the mother, I believe that if the child's father is also a righteous person, he will also be blessed by the God of Justice."

Hearing this, Amamiya Ryoudan was slightly startled, and then burst into laughter.

"Really? Then thank you Mr. Azheng for your kind words."

……

……

"Ding~!"

In the dark room, the message sound sounded in Lana's head.

Chi Jia: "Come out and talk, please? Don't lock yourself in your room and sulk all the time. Your team members will be worried."

Lana glanced at the messages in front of her and didn't speak. Instead, she looked at the number of messages on her team's channel that had reached 99+. Her eyes moved slightly, but she still didn't dare to click on them.

Chi Jia: "If you are afraid of being seen by your team members, just go to the window. Anyway, you often climbed through windows when you were a child."

Seeing this sentence, Lana was slightly stunned, with a look of memory in her eyes. Finally, she was silent for a while and sent a message:
Lana: "Where is the location?"

Chi Jia: "Let's go to the underground level. There's no one here right now."

Lana: "Give me a few minutes."

After sending this message, Lana looked at the window on the side. After being silent for a while, she clicked her tongue in displeasure, opened the window, and climbed out skillfully.
