"It's so dazzling. What is this?"
After escaping the scene, Silas found a safe and uninhabited place to sleep for a night. However, when it dawned the next day, he was awakened by the sun.
When he was in the City of Frostfire, he could not see stars like the sun. In that fragmented world, Silas spent nine years and never knew that there was such a thing as dawn, so after being awakened , he was very panicked and hurriedly hid in the shadow of a nearby building, carefully peeking at the dazzling thing hanging in the sky.
Good guy, this look almost blinded him...
After screaming and rubbing his eyes for a while, Silas was finally able to see things again. For a moment, he was frightened, thinking that the human world was full of strange and weird things.
After walking aimlessly on the streets of this city, Silas discovered that the bright and dazzling thing in the sky was actually quite comfortable. He felt warm when it was illuminated, and the surrounding light became very... Enough and the vision becomes very clear.
At dawn, the humans in this city finally dared to come out and move around, but their expressions and emotions looked very frightened. Many people were chatting in low voices with their familiar friends about the explosion and fire last night. From their mouths, words like "devil" and "blood" can be heard from time to time.
And more people gathered in front of the TV worriedly, wanting to watch the news about last night's incident.
When Silas walked on the street, all he saw were humans in a hurry. Even when they were on their way, these people would try to avoid dark corners and choose to walk in places with sunlight, just like those dark corners. As if something deadly would suddenly jump out of the corner, I was afraid to avoid it.
"There are so many humans? Then why couldn't we see them last night?" Silas was a little confused.
What he didn't know was that no matter which city it was in the world, in recent years, when night fell, the streets were basically empty. No one dared to go out at will. People would huddle in their homes and lock the doors and windows. Use something to hold it up, and it will not be opened until dawn. People who can move at night are either the military or some people with special powers, just like a curfew.
The reason for this phenomenon is the endless number of "devil sightings" and "unbelievable massacres" in recent years...
There has been a legend circulating in this world that about two thousand years ago, a demon king named 'Mundus' wanted to destroy the entire world, but was stopped by a demon lord under him. The magic swordsman named Sparta betrayed his compatriots and sided with mankind. He sealed the Demon King Mundus and sealed the passage between the human world and the demon world. At this point, mankind ushered in the Two thousand years of peaceful development.
Humans called this demon lord who betrayed his compatriots the Dark Knight to express their gratitude to Sparta, and even called him the savior.
However, human beings are a short-lived race after all. Two thousand years are enough for human beings to renew themselves for more than ten or twenty generations. Such a long period of time has also made this legend somewhat elusive in the human world. The legend of Sparta , now it is just regarded as a legend like a fairy tale.
Until...the devil's figure appears in the world again!
I don’t know if it was thirty or forty years ago. Since then, there have been gradually reports of demon sightings. At first, many people just regarded them as rumors and did not believe them at all, but then this There are more and more rumors, from appearing only once in the first few years to several times a year, or even dozens of times! And every time it appears, it will be accompanied by the destruction of the city.
The destruction of these cities seemed very bizarre during the subsequent investigation. There were traces of battles everywhere, but there were no signs of explosions of thermal weapons such as bombs. The destroyed buildings did not look man-made at all. .
Even in some gossip and photos of unknown origin, we can occasionally see the corpses and remains of some horrific non-human creatures...
As a result, the words "demon invasion" claimed in these rumors were gradually accepted by people. They firmly believed that a creature called a "demon" appeared in the world where humans live! They don't know where they come from, appearing suddenly in the human world, killing humans, sucking blood and souls, and causing huge damage and destruction.
Although various countries have been sparing no effort to block the news and claimed that the so-called demons are just rumors, some things cannot be blocked at all, especially about twenty years ago, a huge monster suddenly appeared in a certain country. This tall tower suddenly appeared from the ground and soared into the sky, far exceeding any high-rise building in the city. It stretched crazily for several kilometers toward the sky, almost touching the clouds.
At that time, millions of people in the city almost all witnessed the emergence of this tower with their own eyes, so a large number of photos of this tower appeared afterwards. In the photos, you can see that this tower is completely different from human beings. The construction style is rough, depressing, ferocious and dark, definitely not a human creation!
But that's not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that above the top of the tower, someone saw scarlet lightning and huge swirling clouds. This huge swirling cloud was stirring and rotating with the tower as the center, like a huge Like a door, someone looked through the center of the vortex and saw a large number of terrifying scenes that were like illusions. Among these scenes, countless monsters with hideous faces appeared. They were huge in stature, surrounded by blood and flames, and constantly emitted terrifying sounds. Roaring sounds of fear... Some people even had a mental breakdown and went crazy because of seeing these horrific sights.
Although I don’t know what happened, the tower finally collapsed and the huge swirling clouds disappeared. However, the place where the tower appeared was turned into ruins. Afterwards, the army blocked the city and moved They visited surrounding residents and launched a large number of investigations. However, when people asked, the officials were prevaricated with all kinds of ridiculous facts and incorrect explanations.
There have been more than one similar incident, various reports of non-human sightings, and a large number of bizarre and tragic deaths of humans, making people convinced that the devil has really appeared in the world again.
It was only then that people picked up the original legend about Sparta again. They believed that this legend was true. More than two thousand years ago, there really was such a magic swordsman Sparta. Although he sealed the demon world and Demon King Mundus, but because of the greed of people, someone is coveting the powerful demonic power of Sparta, causing the seal to be opened!
Faced with the threat of demons, human beings seemed so weak and helpless. In this case, the worship and belief in Sparta also came into being. The word savior was also mentioned again. Many people are convinced that only faith Sparta was able to survive the threat of demonic invasion, so various religious orders were born. They restored the image of Sparta from various documentary records, and based on this image, they made He worshiped the statue of Sparta and prayed to the statue of Sparta day and night, hoping that Sparta, the savior, would come again and mankind would be saved again.
Of course, since some people place their hopes on the so-called religion, some people naturally place their hopes on resistance. Some brave humans began to try to use technological weapons made by humans to fight against these more and more demons. Their trap arrangements and tactical use did allow them to kill some demons. Later, through research on the demon corpses, they discovered that the parts and tissues obtained from some powerful demons would carry a powerful force. Technological means can also stimulate this power, and if this stimulated power is used to deal with demons, it is even more useful than technological weapons.
From this, the demon hunter organization was also born. Relying on their collective strength, they began to hunt demons, then learned skills from the barbarians to control the barbarians, and in turn used the power of the demons to deal with the demons.
However, during the battle with demons, the demon hunters discovered that occasionally some very powerful demons would appear. Such demons were simply not something that the demon hunter organization could contend with. They were very powerful and terrifying. Once they appeared, they would even be It could lead to the destruction of an entire city.
However, the strange thing is that these very powerful demons are often eliminated not long after they appear.
As a result, in the dark world of demon hunters, a legend gradually spread, that is, these powerful demons were actually eliminated by a firm called "Devil My Cry"!
It's just that this legend has not been truly confirmed, because few people can see or encounter those powerful demons. Even if they do encounter people, they are basically dead... However, regarding a certain person in this office There are more and more legends about the white-haired man wearing a red trench coat...
There is no doubt that the appearance of the devil has changed people's lives. This is why Silas is now able to walk on the streets without being treated as a monster, carrying the terrifying scythe and gun. the real reason.
Although many people who passed by Silas looked at him strangely, no one had any doubts about him. People just avoided him and walked away from him instead of fearing him.
Silas was mistaken for a witcher...
But even so, Silas still felt uncomfortable. He had never lived in the human world. After the novelty disappeared, all that was left was discomfort.
Especially, when he smelled the fragrance coming from the street, looking for the fragrance, he found a shop selling barbecue. Out of curiosity, he went up to pick up a piece to eat, but was kicked out because he didn't know how to pay. After the stall owner called the police, he disliked the world even more.
Then when the police arrived to arrest him, he resisted, and a fragile human policeman was kicked unconscious by him. As a result, more policemen chased him and shot him...
Realizing that he had caused a huge commotion, Silas, who had no sense of security in this world, hurriedly ran away again. Although these humans were very weak, there were too many of them, and his intuition told him that if he killed these humans, he would probably There will be bigger trouble waiting for him, which may not be of any help to his mission...
So, on the second day after arriving in the human world, Silas, who was running away in embarrassment, began to miss his mother...
