The deeper layers of the ground are out of the building area. The crawling sound in this place has become more and more obvious. For the few people who have gone deep underground, whether to continue moving forward is already an immediate question.
"Captain, we are probably very close to the base camp. News about Avenni..." Remus said in a low voice.
Wen Ge was held back, and Nono was locked by Qiyao. As the descent continued deeper, fewer and fewer enforcers followed around, but Abigail still led the team to continue downward.
"We don't have anyone else to deal with the problem underground."
Abigail's eyes were shining with scarlet light, and she was holding two weapons in her hands - not her own core weapons, but two other swords from unknown sources, which were also stained at this time. In the scarlet light, even its own characteristics were obscured.
But it has to be said that Abigail's fighting prowess along the way was like a god of death. Remus was surprised that she was not ranked among the top ten captains.
"Just now... Ivina spoke in the captain's channel. The threat on the coast has been eliminated, but those empty shells that are just made up of debris, their real combat power has sneaked in here. She has returned to the building, so she can continue to deal with it. We are the only ones with this problem. Now the people above are all blocked by heaven and earth, and no one can leave except a few people."
Remus frowned and looked around. Apart from Barrovière, there were only six or seven people left, and everyone was already feeling fatigued to varying degrees.
"If this continues, even if everyone sees it, they won't be able to fight anymore."
"Yes, fatigue." Abigail nodded slightly, "But we don't have any more people. Tianfenjiye's fall caused nearly 70% of the executioners to completely lose their combat effectiveness. Although High-end combat power will be less affected, but few low-level executors can get up."
"At least let everyone take a break and replenish their strength," Remus said.
"Remus, don't you feel it? We can't rest if we want to now..." Before Abigail could finish her words, the wall next to her suddenly shattered, and a large number of tentacles spewed out from the wall, and everyone hurriedly They started to defend, and along the way, they had been attacked by this kind of attack no less than ten times.
The structure of the tentacles was obviously becoming more difficult to destroy, and Abigail almost understood that she was approaching the core area. The previously powerful defenses of those garbage monsters were greatly weakened after turning into tentacles, so where did all the things hanging on their bodies go?
"I just want to know what Judgment Island is cultivating... We can't save the crisis, but we can solve a little trouble."
She chopped off the tentacles rushing towards her and pressed her heart with the back of her hand.
The agitation is waning.
"not much time."
Abigail put away the tip of the knife in her hand, and with a move of her hand, "Stars of Lonely Mourning" appeared in her hand. Through the changes in those tentacles along the way, she was almost able to determine where the enemy was.
"Star cannon, penetrate."
The end of the cross staff quickly accumulated power, and the beam quickly solidified into a ball of light about half a meter in diameter, and then penetrated the ground with an explosion-like sound.
Remus and the others in the rear had just cleared away the tentacles, and when they discovered that Abigail had made another move, their expressions could not hide their disappointment.
After three attacks, Abigail suddenly felt a fishy wind rushing out of the hole she opened. Her figure flashed, and a spiral spear passed by.
That spear... is not something made of garbage like tentacles, but a real form that has been processed by a certain forging process. It didn't hit Abigail, but it didn't penetrate the hard wall, and even its roots couldn't be seen.
"Ha... I finally found it... You can rest now." Abigail stared down, and a fishy smell was spreading from the open hole. It seemed to be mixed with some corpse odor, but it also carried the sea smell. Fishy smell.
Is this what Judgment Island plans to create? Abigail raised the cross staff again, and the starlight covered her body, leading her into the tunnel.
The further down you go, the more you can hear the sounds below. It is not the greasy sound of tentacles crawling, nor is it some suspicious mucus sound. Instead, you can hear banging sounds, just like in a workshop.
It's very strange - no, that's how it should be. The chaotic state of the garbage aggregate should be the intermediate state, and now it seems that that thing should have taken shape. The previous fort was probably one of the molded products, and the spiral spear was also one.
Then, this underground existence——
Abigail suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, which caused her to break away from the starlight state and hit the ground.
"Damn! Time's up? No, no... this is here..." Abigail grabbed her heart and tried to get up from the ground - the ground here was actually made of metal.
The palace of metal and the machine of flesh and blood were unified here into a whole. Abigail saw the hands holding the metal ingots, using a conveyor belt composed of skin and tendons to send them to the hands of the metal man. The metal man took the metal ingots. Take it off, throw it into the furnace, and continue to hit the forging tool in your hand hard. It does not use tools, but its own fists.
Everything feels like a factory, everything feels abnormal.
The eyeball hanging from the ceiling and connected to blood vessels became a camera. It turned towards Abigail, but didn't pay attention. It blinked slightly and turned to the other direction.
But Abigail immediately noticed that something appeared behind her, appearing there very suddenly, as if she had the ability to teleport.
She turned over and pointed behind her with the cross staff - it was a metal man. Different from the one who was making iron just now, the ball on the head of this metal man was translucent, with some fleshy balls made of human tissue floating inside.
"Abigail." A synthesized voice came from the metal man, with an echo.
"Humph, we collected our information..."
"No, there is no need to collect." The metal man tapped his helmet with his fingers, making a buzzing sound, "Abigail, I am Rosso, Ranez, or Liu Jing."
Abigail gasped, her heart throbbing.
"Look, your heart is not feeling well, because it's not yours, it's mine - Liu Jing's." The metal man spread his hands, "Do you remember the fierce ambition of a poor beast? When we almost died , I gave my heart to you, captain. We can die, but you have to continue, you carry more things than us."
"Hmph...your intelligence gathering skills are really good."
"It's not intelligence gathering, Abigail, you just refuse to believe it." The metal man shook his head in a humane manner, "But why don't you believe it? We have all seen those weird contained objects, and we should know that there is no such thing in this world. What is impossible, and making people into another form is just a very common thing."
"This is not another form. You are already dead. I watched you stop breathing."
"Ah, so, captain, you still don't understand. I am Liu Jing, and I am not just Liu Jing." The metal man knocked on his "skull" again, "What's floating inside is tissue that has regained life. This kind of Life is not obtained for no reason. The general ability to live and die can be restored to life at most, but this is a real second life. Our thinking is integrated together, and a new collective consciousness is born. Therefore, I am Liu Jing , and only a tiny part is Liu Jing.”
Abigail's eyes became scarier.
"I can feel your anger, after all, my heart is beating in your body, captain. But, what is your anger directed at? Is it the Judgment Island that turned us into this? Is it me and us who have returned again? Or to yourself?”
This is indeed Liu Jing - no matter how clever the intelligence agent is, it is impossible to know the detailed information about a person's core weapon. Very few people can resonate with other people's core weapons to the point of commanding them like an arm. What's more, Liu Jing's heart is also Her core weapon "The Fierce Ambition of the Poor Beast" is beating inside her body. Apart from her and Liu Jing, only those with absolute intelligence abilities can know its effect.
"However, you will not rule out the fact that my intelligence ability is indeed very strong." The metal man said this as if he knew Abigail's thoughts. It raised its arm and made an invitation gesture to Abigail, "Come with me, Captain, you may be the first and last Executor who can visit here. We have been abandoned by Judgment Island, We have been given life again, and even if we are the current enforcers, we and they will be enemies. Because we want to subvert everything, and they want to protect Judgment Island."
"Why?"
"Because you are about to die." There seemed to be a trace of compassion in the metal man's voice, "I'm sorry, Captain, even if I use up the last strength of my life, I can only keep you alive until now. Or, I should change it. Say...soon, you will die again."
"Yes, this is your core weapon, and you can even use it now if you want." Abigail said, "And now you..."
"We have found another way to extend life, and it can also work on you. However, the birth of this second life is very painful. We have to repopulate ourselves from the cellular level, build our thinking, and slowly remember To recall one’s past, including death.”
The metal man said with emotion.
"I'd rather sleep forever."
"This is impossible."
"Why?"
"This is the curse of Judgment Island, Captain. Even if there is only a little residue left, we can live from now on, and this seems to be intentional on Judgment Island. There is a rule on Judgment Island that every workshop that uses biological materials , all must have minimum emission standards, which is why I was born."
"You mean, this is mandatory?"
"Yes, I also know that you are sharing this information through the captain channel. I have more captains here than you think."
"But you still concealed one thing from me... Even if they are all human flesh and blood, I can understand. What do these metals represent?"
"You still know the answer, you just asked me to say it myself. Isn't it obvious? Flesh is a person, and metal is a weapon."
The metal man pointed at the metal palace and told Abigail and the captains behind her.
"In addition to people, core weapons will also gain life. This is the fundamental reason that distinguishes you from me. You may think that since we are both Executors, it is possible for us to join forces? But it is not the case. , we only accept the dead. This difference can only be realized in the second life, only when all thinking is combined."
Abigail saw metal men, each one a little different, and they all carried some containers for holding fragments of human flesh and blood, varying in quantity. Not only can metal be forged in this palace, but flesh and blood can also be reorganized with ease.
And deeper, there is the "raw material", which is the mountain of garbage.
"Protocore, I have brought a companion."
The metal man bowed slightly to the existence in the dark, and Abigail saw a figure moving slightly in front of the garbage mountain.
In the remaining ray of light, it turned around. Among the many metal figures here, only its appearance retains more flesh and blood tissue, or in other words, complete flesh and blood tissue. Although most of the head has been covered by metal, a complete brain is still retained, shrouded by a transparent cover. Its hands are actually countless flexible metal tentacles, which are rapidly peeling off various materials from the garbage mountain, splitting and classifying them, and stuffing them into the surrounding delivery ports.
"She has died a long time ago. She should indeed have been our companion." A voice came from the "original core".
"That's right." The metal man said, "Liu Jing is one of us, we have known it for a long time."
"However, our thinking will make you lose some sensibility." "Original Core" said, "We think in a human way, and we also lack some necessary comprehensive memory capabilities. You have obviously forgotten the will of the executors, especially the captain. How to be resilient.”
The metal man was slightly startled.
At this time, a tearing sound came from around him.
"Liu Jing, I should return your heart to you."
Abigail calmly cut open her chest and ripped out her heart. For a god-level core weapon, this is not an immediate death. She threw her heart at the metal man and gathered starlight with one hand.
"team leader?"
"You still remember giving me your heart at that time, but you probably haven't recalled why we fought side by side to that point. Now, it's a waste of time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bombardment of starlight went straight towards the "original core".
Even if they were companions in the past, how many executioners have they killed now?
