I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

After sending away Jane who was nagging because she was concerned about him, Stephen sighed and hung up the phone.

"Stephen?"

"It's still the same." Regarding the questions raised by the familiar old man to him, Stephen waved his hand to indicate that they had been dealt with.

To outsiders, the tacit understanding of being able to understand each other's meaning just by calling each other's names is like playing riddles, but Klaus seems to be used to this.

It was now seven-thirty in the morning. Stephen turned the key to the Jeep, and the engine began to roar with a pleasant roar.

"Let's go, Klaus!" He turned his head and patted the chair in the passenger seat next to him, urging Klaus who was flipping through a travel brochure at a magazine kiosk not far away.

"Sorry." Klaus smiled at the stall owner, then took out his wallet, took out a few US dollars and bought the travel brochure in his hand, but the stall owner, who seemed to be frightened and turned pale, looked at the tall red-haired man. After leaving for a long time, he showed no intention of putting away the banknotes in front of him.

"Oh, God bless, I have never seen such a terrible man..."

...

"There are quite a few people who believe in Christianity here. It seems that 'Oh, God!' has almost become their established greeting when they see you. What do you think of this?" The car was driving on the street, Stephen Looking at the Statue of Liberty standing in the distance, I chatted with Klaus next to me about what I heard and saw along the way.

"Maybe it's because of my appearance." Klaus answered very seriously to Stephen's joke.

".

...There is really nothing you can do against people like you. If faith is really effective, I suggest you pray that God can give you a kind skin. But no matter how hard they pray, that kind of vain grace will never come to them. "

"But it can at least become their spiritual pillar and use it as a belief to support them from falling due to temporary difficulties. I still have basic respect for this." Klaus closed the booklet in his hand. The sea breeze blowing through the open jeep made his red hair flutter.

"It won't get dark until about five o'clock in the afternoon, and we still have rare free time to walk around." Stephen slowly stepped on the brakes as the traffic stopped in front of him, "You have been looking at it for so long, what do you want to go to? Where? It’s almost New Year’s Day... Jane even specifically asked me to bring her some gifts from here before she would forgive us."

Klaus raised the corners of his mouth slightly as if imagining Jane's expression when she said this on the phone, and said, "Then how about bringing her a cross necklace."

"Ha, a necklace? That's fine, although I just want to buy a bunch of postcards and send them back..."

"Stephen!"

The chat between the two was interrupted by Klaus's sudden roar. Stephen, who had calmed down, looked wherever he looked. The sight in front of him made his eyes widen with an expression of disbelief.

"What... happened?"

The roar, as if an earthquake was about to happen, echoed in his ears. Stephen initially thought it was the industrial pulse of the city, but the scene in front of him could no longer be associated with anything related to "industry." .

Dark purple clouds spread in the sky like thick fog. Accompanied by rumbling vibrations and loud noises, the traffic gathering in front was violently blown away like waves. People's screams and car horns were mixed together. , the scene suddenly fell into chaos.

"Reverse!"

Before Klaus yelled, Stephen had already put into gear neatly and stepped hard on the accelerator. The strange wave of traffic in front of him was approaching at a high speed, and the jeep engine under him made a powerful noise. With a roar, accompanied by the harsh friction between the tires and the ground, the car behind him was knocked away with a bang, and he backed up against the flow of traffic to avoid the waves coming in front.

"what is that!"

"have no idea."

The jeep backed up to the open intersection, drifted and turned around, and fled in the opposite direction to the source of the wave.

Like Klaus and others, others had no idea what was happening. The oppressive thick fog spread throughout the city in a short time, even blocking the sun hanging in the sky.

"Did the Blood Realm Familia do it? This is too exaggerated!" Stephen held the steering wheel, the accelerator under his feet had already touched the ground, and the surrounding scenery was retreating rapidly with the high speed, but even though the speed had soared to the extreme , they were unable to get rid of the thick fog that seemed to be slowly encroaching behind them.

Huge explosions and crackling sounds like rock breaking continued to sound behind him. The moment Klaus turned back to look in the direction of the sound source, his pupils shrank into the most dangerous needle shape!

The tall buildings seemed to have been broken by an invisible force, breaking away from the constraints of gravity and soaring straight into the sky. This scene was not as simple as two buildings, but a dense fog that suddenly emerged from the mutation in a radiating pattern. The points spread outward at an extremely fast speed, and entire buildings were uprooted as a result. The people inside fell from the sky screaming like ants, causing people to feel numb.

It seems that the gravity of this area has undergone a strange transformation that completely subverts the understanding of physics!

Rumble——!

The nearly continuous roar overwhelmed the screams and wails of the people. The broken buildings were either flying irregularly in mid-air, or stagnating like weightlessness. As time went by, the heavy fog completely blocked the sunlight. Covered, when the clock hands pointed to 8:50 in the morning, ten minutes before entering 9:00 in the morning, the whole of New York seemed to have fallen into darkness.

An almost suffocating sense of despair and powerlessness surrounded Klaus and Stephen.

The two of them were completely powerless against the scene in front of them...

Perhaps only by praying to God can you save such a doomsday scene that is about to tear the whole world apart in front of you.

Historical Transformation Period: The Origins of Hersharemz Lot and Lebra (3)

A huge hole seemed to be torn open in the center of New York City by a mysterious force, and all abnormal effects that subverted ordinary people's cognition began to occur one after another.

Gravity began to become disordered, roads and bridges were thrown into the air like rags pulled from the ground, and buildings collapsed and reorganized like dismantled Lego blocks.

As the effects of urban collapse expand rapidly, people can be seen everywhere whose lives have been taken away by collapsed buildings and vehicle wreckage falling from the sky. Flames, explosions, and wails have become the only melody in the city.

"Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever, Amen..."

boom!

The collapsed concrete floor smashed the kneeling believers into bright red meat. Those who prayed for God's salvation were not favored by the gods they believed in because of their devout prayers. They were just mortal bodies that were hardened. Life ushered in the death shower composed of steel and concrete

The end.

At first Klaus wanted to save lives from the collapse of the entire city, but what one person could do in this catastrophe was too little. After being forcefully rejected by Stephen, the two We began to collect intelligence with the purpose of identifying the source of this great collapse, hoping to find an opportunity to stop this disaster.

But it all seems to be in vain...

The sky was shrouded in a deep purple night, and the thick fog that had almost condensed into a solid substance did not stop spreading at all. From the huge vortex that appeared in the sky at the beginning, to now, if you look around, the entire sky has been completely obscured by thick fog.

Roads and buildings have almost completely turned into ruins. Broken human limbs and vehicle wreckage can be seen everywhere. Signal lamp posts that have been smashed into twists are lying crookedly on the roadside, flickering with a faint light, as if they will go out at any time.

One of the most prosperous cities in the world has turned into a strange dead city.

The bright headlights pierced the darkness and illuminated the gravel-filled road transparently. Stephen drove the jeep among the ruins.

From time to time, overhead, like meteors, several buildings were torn in half and rejoined by unknown forces.

"Seventeen hours have passed since it was shrouded in fog. Is the city's collapse and reconstruction still not over?" Stephen retracted his gaze from the half-building that floated above his head again, and looked at the man holding a travel manual and flipping through it carefully. Klaus.

"You're still holding that thing. The whole city has changed, so it's no longer useful, right?"

"The shape of the building can be a clue," Krause replied. "What was floating over our heads just now was the top of the General Electric Building."

Stephen's expression was a little surprised: "Have you compared them one by one? Your memory and seriousness are amazing..."

After a brief silence, Stephen spoke again: "I said, if the whole world has been shrouded in this fog, what will happen in the future?"

"I have no idea."

Stephen sighed softly: "The opponent this time is incomparable to the monsters we have dealt with before. They can change the entire New York as easily as Lego blocks. There is nothing we can do..."

"parking!"

Klaus's call made Stephen subconsciously step on the brakes. When the jeep came to a steady stop, the roar of the engine subsided. A baby's cry came faintly from the ruins.

Under the illumination of the vehicle's headlights, you can see a woman who has lost her breath and collapsed under the rubble with a pool of blood, and in front of her is a still infant baby. It seemed that this great mother threw the child out of her arms at the last moment to prevent him from becoming a young soul under the collapsed stone slab like herself.

Klaus stepped towards the baby on the ground and held it in his arms.

"Stephen, it's too early to make a judgment when the situation is unclear. You must first do your best to survive and collect intelligence in the process..."

"But the most important thing now is to send this child to a safe place."

Stephen faced Klaus's determined gaze towards him, put his hands on his hips helplessly and said, "Yeah..."

The pair then headed to Bradbury General Hospital with the baby recovered from the rubble.

"Only the main building is left here..." Looking at the hospital building that was almost torn in half in the mist from a distance, Stephen lamented the tenacious vitality of this hospital.

There was even a faint light shining in the windows there. In the city that is still crumbling, there seem to be beacons of hope.

At this time, only the armed militia organized by the citizens were left guarding the entrance of the hospital. When they saw two tall figures walking slowly from the thick fog, the two guards quickly got up from the ground and raised their guns.

"stop!"

The tall red-haired man was holding an invisible object in his arms. The man in a suit beside him was raising his hands to indicate that the two of them meant no harm.

Klaus shouted to the two people who raised their guns against him: "We have a baby with us, and I hope you can protect him."

.....

After being interrogated, the two successfully entered the hospital with the baby in their arms. The power had been completely cut off. Several candle lights were hung on the pillars of the corridor to provide extremely limited lighting for the corridor. There were people sitting on the floor and seats in the corridor. It was full of people fleeing, and many of them were seriously injured.

The gurney that the nurse quickly pushed from the middle of the aisle made a clattering sound, and Klaus immediately stopped moving forward to let them pass first.

The busy nurses didn't even have time to look up at the gentleman who made way for them, and then hurriedly disappeared into the darkness.

"Well, I don't remember such a big guy in this hospital."

As a voice came, a short middle-aged man with gray temples came out with his white coat in his pocket.

"We came from outside." Klaus explained to the doctor who came over.

"What? From this great collapse?"

"Yes, actually I'm here to send this child off..."

Without too many short greetings, the doctor immediately called a nurse to pick up the child in Klaus's arms, and then asked the two of them: "So, how is the situation outside? ?”

Stephen shook his head helplessly, "Well..."

"Can't you explain it in a few words?"

"yes...."

"We also have each other."

"doctor."

A nurse called from behind, and the doctor looked back.

"The patient in bed No. 2 said it hurt too much and couldn't sleep..."

"Inject 5 ml of morphine."

"Yes." After receiving the instruction, the nurse immediately turned and left.

The doctor seemed to be worried and said to the nurse's back: "Don't forget the laxatives and antiemetics!"

"yes!"

The only response from the nurse came from the corridor, and her figure turned the corner of the corridor and disappeared from sight.

"I've been so busy that my old bones can't stand it anymore."

After subconsciously complaining, the doctor looked at the other female doctor leaning against the wall.

There was no fluctuation in her calm eyes, and she stood there like a statue.

The doctor called to her as if he was not surprised: "Luciana, wake up! Although the bed is full, the sofa in the preparation room is still empty, right?"

It seemed that this call brought Luciana back to her senses. She raised her head and looked at the male doctor next to Klaus.

"Ah... Doctor, really, I actually fell asleep."

"Yes, I fell asleep standing up," the doctor replied.

"Really... No wonder my body feels lighter. I thought it was an illusion..."

Luciana moved her body with crackling joints and came in front of everyone.

Klaus said from the side: "It looks like he is sleeping soundly. I have never seen someone fall asleep standing up so elegantly."

This speech that was actually sincere but sounded quite teasing made Luciana couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and smile: "You are really good at talking. If it weren't for this special situation, I would give you a free physical examination, Mr. Big Man ~”

Klaus bent down and extended his hand to the female doctor in front of him.

"My name is Klaus V. Reinhertz."

"Luciana Esteves, welcome to the hospital."

The two hands, one big and one small, were clasped together.

Historical Transformation Period: The Origin of Hersalemz Lot and Lebra (4)

When Klaus and Stephen stayed temporarily in the hospital, it was obvious that a place with a large number of survivors would also attract beings other than humans.

The sound of gunfire tore through the silent air, causing slight ripples in the hot tea placed on the cardboard box.

Klaus stood up immediately, looked at Stephen and walked out immediately.

"Inside, get inside!"

Hospital staff were evacuating survivors in the lobby and corridors inside. Like frightened animals, people crowded into the main building.

Klaus and Stephen became the only two figures walking out against the flow of people.
