Outside Ocean City, inside the outpost observation station near the Vinland Trench.
This observation station was one of the first man-made structures to be placed on the seafloor. Its original purpose was to continuously observe the "hypercube" from a safe distance.
After the "hypercube" was developed as an energy source, it also served as a power transmission station.
Standing in front of the huge glass curtain wall with a certain slope, Charles Kennedy stared at the glimmering body with a simple geometric shape deep in the trench, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Not far behind him, several children were sitting quietly, led by Lydia Brandon.
Arya Dickinson's profile was illuminated by the dim light from the trench, her face full of indifference.
Benjamin Button, who was wearing simple clothes, frowned and seemed worried all the time.
Neil Gate, the singing prodigy from Arkham, looked relaxed and seemed not worried about his situation.
Lydia, who had horrific scars on her face, turned to look at Kennedy.
“In the last conflict at New Covenant, he was injured more seriously than he looked…
"It should be 70% to 80% recovered now."
Lydia, who has a deeply developed divine feather, possesses incredible spirituality and premonition abilities - she sensed that a fierce conflict was about to come again, and couldn't help but worry about the situation of Charles Kennedy.
Kennedy seemed a little anxious. He turned around and looked at the few people in the shadows.
One man wore an exaggerated mustache, his hair and beard gray. He sat in a chair, holding the side of his face with one hand, and his eyes were determined.
The woman standing behind him has long hair that hangs down to her knees. Her face cannot be seen clearly, and she exudes resentment that Kennedy still can't get used to...
"The breath of Rabbi Lins has disappeared..." Kennedy said tentatively, "Maybe now is the best opportunity to snatch the Philosopher's Stone.
"Any news from Colt?"
The long-haired woman named Susana Theresa shook her head: “The last picture I saw was that the mission district was broken.
"Water pressure killed Colt."
Colt is one of Suzanne's men and is known as the "Immortal Veteran" within the Judas Circle.
This veteran who had a direct conflict with Sean in the New Testament City and unfortunately gave up his beloved gun to Sean was placed under surveillance at the site of Rabbi Lins becoming a god. As a result, he died when the blisters burst.
"Isn't he... 'immortal'?" Kennedy asked sarcastically.
"He is indeed immortal." Susanna said calmly, "So he was resurrected again and again under the huge water pressure - he was killed by the water pressure dozens of times before he died completely because he could not recover."
Slightly shocked by Colt's tragic death, Kennedy was speechless for a moment.
Susanna was immersed in her own world: "But it doesn't matter, my new toy is ready..."
Believing that he was unable to connect with the somewhat crazy woman, Kennedy turned to Joseph Milton, the general manager of the Judas Ring: "The breath of Rabbi Lins has disappeared. Alicia's people must be very weak. Now The best chance to grab the Philosopher’s Stone.”
His gray mustache trembled slightly with his breathing, and Milton said: "I don't know what's going on in the city right now...
“What we do know, however, is that Charlie JoJo is still lurking in the city.
“Having been lurking for so long, if we go out for the Philosopher’s Stone, it may affect the Son of Dreams plan.
"We have to prioritize getting the big picture off the ground - after that, it doesn't matter what we do."
His gray-blue eyes flashed slightly: "Remember, greed is fatal."
Charles Kennedy turned his face toward the glass wall.
He felt that Milton had been too conservative in the face of opportunities.
However, considering the plan that had been laid out for more than ten years and that this was Milton's decision, he could only resist the urge to snatch the Philosopher's Stone...
Arya Dickinson looked in another direction.
She looked at Ocean City where all the lights suddenly went out...
His eyes flickered slightly, as if he was hoping for something.
——
A rifle bullet shattered the overturned wooden dining table in front of Moonlight.
Due to the ectoplasmic bulletproof layer that Sean had deployed, the spinning bullet stopped in front of Moonlight's eyes.
"Thanks!" Moonlight watched the bullets fall to the ground and buried his head lower. Amidst the gunfire, he shouted, "Old man!"
Without saying a word, Sean quickly loaded his ectoplasm, aimed at the man wearing a pig face mask who attacked Moonlight, and shattered his head with one shot.
He was a little nervous to find that after they chose to enter the "Fisher King Restaurant", more and more crazy people poured in.
At this moment, they could only hide behind the bunker and fire back.
The rabbit-faced mask holding a machete rushed towards Alicia, and Wright slashed his neck with a steel plate, causing blood to fly.
The magician turned around and threw out the blood-stained steel plate, which was engraved into the head of the person who was aiming at Wendy.
Wendy put on a new drum, and her alchemy bracelet erupted with cool ice crystals, cooling the already hot barrel. After loading the gun, she leaned out of the bar and fired at the crazy people swarming in.
Next to him, a short clown who seemed to be a carnival acrobat rushed towards Ivan with two sharp knives.
The moonlight made a burst of sound and cut off one of his hands.
The flying knife thrown by Ivan cut off his other hand...
Although everyone surrounded Alicia and attacked the invading madmen, the female chess player standing in the center still felt suffocated.
These lunatics with their tongues hanging out seem to know no pain at all, and are not afraid of death. They just keep rushing towards them.
She was like a frightened rabbit, holding a delicate Luger pistol in her hand, spinning constantly, attacking the scarred and crazy people who kept rushing towards her.
It's like falling into some kind of nightmare from childhood.
The bullets and thin spiritual power are decreasing rapidly.
However, under the continuous siege, they gradually moved to the other end of the restaurant.
"There are too many of them!"
"There is no road!"
"Sean, this wall has to be opened!"
"There's a big guy coming in!"
"I'll open the wall, give me some time!"
Amidst the gunfire, they saw a burly shadow breaking through the door of the Fisher King Restaurant and walking in.
It was a man wearing heavy diving armor.
Wendy's bullets poured on him, but they only produced a clanging spark...
"No, it can't be solved with a gun!" Wendy's voice was already hoarse.
Sean was hiding behind the bunker at this time, with his back to the pursuers, and he was concentrating all his attention on mobilizing his spiritual power, which was like the only water left in a pond during the dry season...
He wanted to open the wall leading from the restaurant to the next shop before he was swallowed up by the tide of madmen.
