My name is Guy, a poor guy in the vast world. This morning I was taken to an abandoned industrial area in the south of Brighton by Johns, who is also a member of the Hermits. We are still staying in Brighton recently. The members of the Hermitage are all looking for "reformers". The so-called reformers were met by Arthur, the leader of the Hermitage, when he was helping his friends solve problems. They have physical qualities comparable to those of our wizards and judgment and analysis far beyond ours. , they operate like machines without emotions. Before our remaining members of the Hermitage left Brighton City, Arthur issued an order for us to investigate the incident of human transformation. He always felt that there was a cult behind the scenes resurrecting the old gods. .
After seeing the destructive power of Isis, we hermits will be very afraid of the resurrection of the old gods. These guys are the culprits of destroying our ideal life.
Back in the sewer pipe, Johns and I were half-immersed in one meter high sewage. The black-yellow water smelled like feces. After I returned, I had to soak in a wooden barrel for at least two or three days to wash away the smell. .I even saw a man's formal suit and boots floating on the water. If I read correctly, a dead mouse floated to my right. Johns didn't know where he got a small light ball, this kind of thing. The dwarf's luxury products can continuously provide a source of light and illuminate the way forward for us.
After walking for nearly five minutes with dirty water dripping into the pipe, I finally couldn't stand it and said to Johns: "Johns, is this really here? We have walked more than two hundred meters, and there is nothing but water. Are you sure about that?" Are the Cyborgs really coming here?"
"Please believe my eyes. I saw them enter here with my own eyes. Wait, did you hear anything?" Johns blocked my mouth with his muddy fingers. It's okay now. I'll go back. It takes a whole day to wash your lips.
"What sound? I only heard... Is that the sound of the conveyor belt?" I noticed that in the invisible darkness in front of us, there was a sound similar to the operation of the conveyor belts in the factory. Johns and I looked at each other and looked at There is something really mysterious about coming here.
Johns pointed to a section of the passage next to me that was above the water. There would be sounds when we walked in the water. We crawled out of the muddy water onto the passage. Johns made a silent gesture to me, and then led me towards the source of the sound. There are indeed mysteries in the sewer pipes that I could not imagine. After walking along the corridor for more than a hundred meters, we came to the first fork. Johns listened to the sound of the wind, then pointed to the road on the left with a subtle The voice said: "The connection there is probably the Heath River and the First Valve, go this way."
If I hadn't listened carefully, I wouldn't have been able to hear what Johns was saying. His voice followed the breeze blowing from the sewers, and he also became stronger. In the days when Arthur joined our hermits, we suddenly had two more people. The awakened wizard has greatly improved his strength, and will soon have his own territory, a school for wizards... If he is worried that the transformation of people is a means to resurrect the old gods, then we have reason to find out everything.
Continuing to move forward to the pipe on the right, Johns suddenly stopped and stopped me. Then on the aisle opposite us, I saw the square opening and stairs going down. Johns winked at me, and the sound came from there. It came from below. As metal wizards, our characteristic is hardness. Even if Arthur punched me in the abdomen, I would not fall into coma. I stepped on the stairs first and climbed down. Johns had already handed me the small ball of light, and the scene of the soles of my feet appeared in front of me, as well as the heat rushing towards my face.
It was similar to the scorching heat in a boiler factory. I found that this underground layer did not require a ball of light to see clearly through the firelight burning somewhere. I handed the ball of light back to Johns who climbed down next. I walked along
Walking along the corridor towards the direction of the fire, there were small rooms connected on both sides. There were many extraction devices for goblins to make reagents and potions. Johns was very interested in these things. He looked at something carefully through the glass window.
These are not what I need to care about. There is a small space in the sewer pipe that shows that the reformer has really come here. I took off my wet coat and threw it on the iron rack placed aside. I continued to walk into the room and
The previous pharmacy room was different. In the center of the room surrounded by red bricks was a long bed with many belt buckles, and next to it was a torture instrument I had never seen before. I pushed open the iron room door and walked in. The pungent smell
The smell of blood made me nauseous. Apparently something gruesome had happened here.
"Guy, what's going on? What's in this room?" Johns stood on the door with one hand. He was more accustomed to the smell of blood than I imagined. "You said that those modified people took out a small metal piece from their bodies.
Then he turned back into an ordinary person, right? This room is where they imprisoned those ordinary people." I touched the blood-stained leather button bed with one hand, and there were blood marks scratched by fingernails in the lower part of the middle.
I told Johns about this discovery and he agreed with me.
He pulled his collar closer to his mouth and injected his elemental power into a small collar button. As long as he used the elemental power and his own consciousness to construct the appearance of the other party, he could contact him through the collar button developed by the dwarves.
Another wizard with a dwarf collar button. When can I also have a collar button of my own? "Angelina, Angelina, are you still following Arthur? Where are you now? Guy and I found
We have found the place where they create the cyborgs, but we don’t know how many enemies there are and how many cyborgs there are. You ask Arthur to quickly go to the mud puddle in the middle of the abandoned industrial area in the South District..."
While Guy was contacting Angelina, I was shaking unnaturally. Outside the glass window, there was a strange face staring at me and Johns expressionlessly. Although he didn't make any movements, he just stood there.
It makes me uncomfortable. Arthur once told me that after he became a wizard, the elemental power in his body had the ability to provide early warning. Whenever there was danger coming from any direction, an electric circle would surge up on his surface to warn him.
I also have the ability to partially metalize my skin whenever danger strikes. Apart from me and Arthur, I don't know anyone else who can do this.
"Johns...Johns, look at the man outside the window, is he a reformer?"
Johns only noticed the people standing outside our room after my reminder. After confirming Johns's nod from the corner of my eye, I pointed at the glass window. At this time, the only way to seize the opportunity is to strike first.
"Decompose!" A whole piece of glass instantly turned into fragments and fell to the ground. I rolled forward and knocked down the modified man. I sat on him and suppressed him. I grabbed his neck with one hand and said, "Reconstruct!"
The scattered glass trembled and flew towards the cyborg, and under the influence of my elemental power, a glass knife was formed and inserted into the opponent's chest. This move cannot be said to defeat a master of Arthur's level, but at least it can hurt him.
The Cyborg at his feet acted as if nothing had happened. He put his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him, and bumped his forehead against mine hard.
The situation was too late for me to elementalize, but my skull was not easy to mess with. I actually felt pain and dizziness under the violent collision. The cyborg pushed me away when I was in a trance, and the force was no less than my own.
His back hit the wall of the room, and then the Cyborg took out a pistol from his arms.
Yes, the pistol, he aimed at my chest, and fired a bullet. This gave me enough time to metalize. The bullet fired by the cybernetic was not black titanium. I was very interested in the kind of bullet that could threaten the Kama in our bodies.
The bullet is very identifiable. This bullet is an ordinary bullet. I metalized my body to try to deflect the bullet.
Later, I discovered that I was wrong. It was not only black titanium bullets that could cause us harm. After the bullet hit my body, it did not bounce off as I expected, but attached to my skin.
The bullet didn't hurt me, and I didn't pay too much attention. When the Cyborg and I struggled again, my whole body was eroded by electricity, and my hands and feet were so paralyzed that I couldn't hold them tightly. The Cyborg took the opportunity to hit me with an uppercut.
On my side, if Johns hadn't caught me, I would have fallen to the ground in a panic.
Johns only caught me for a second, then pushed me away screaming: "What's going on Guy? Why are you electrified!"
"It's the pistol in his hand! Run! Johns, I don't even have any strength left!" The corners of my mouth twitched from time to time, and Johns dragged me towards the stairs regardless of being affected by the electric current on my body.
The Cyborg raised his pistol again. I only saw Johns knocking down the shelf next to him to block the incoming bullets. Soon he led me to the stairs.
"Guy! Guy! Wake up, my God, you smell like burning, can you climb up the stairs?" I couldn't even shake my head, my hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably, and I could only vaguely see Johns talking to him.
Holding her collar and shouting: "Angelina! Where are you! Tell me..." The last thing I saw before I fell into coma was the cyborg lifting the iron frame. It was not one cyborg, but three.
...
When I woke up again, I was at the mouth of the sewer pipe. I couldn't even speak, but I just saw Johns dragging me to swim in the sewage.
"Guy, you bastard is so heavy. I hate metal wizards! I will definitely not let you go if you don't invite me to have a luxurious meal at Nopa Restaurant in the North District!" Nopa Restaurant is only for the upper class.
In high-end restaurants, there are even decorative flowers placed next to the steaks. I don't have that many Eds to treat me to, so it would be sensible to continue pretending to be faint at this time.
I cast my gaze to the rear, where three modified humans were chasing us with extremely synchronized swimming movements. I suddenly took a large mouthful of sewage, struggled to adjust my posture, and started swimming on my own: "They are already very close! Johns
!”
"I know! Let's run separately! You go to Fourth Avenue! I'll go to the arbitration office." After Johns said that, I could already see the light outside the sewer pipe. He took a deep breath and dived into the water.
A cyborg behind me also dived into the water.
"Why are there two people chasing me?" Following Johns' instructions, I headed towards Fourth Avenue in the South District, which I remembered seemed to be the location of Angelina's home.
