"However, if we can catch materials suitable for research, it doesn't mean we can't bear the pain caused by aesthetic fatigue. Let's go! Children!"
The Plague Doctor suddenly quickened his pace and ran toward the "inverted" pyramid at an incredible speed. In almost the blink of an eye, he had already run nearly a hundred meters, and his speed was no weaker than that of an adult Astartes.
?
Seeing this, the Gray Knights didn't say anything, but the atmosphere of silence was equivalent to extreme surprise.
How could this weird doctor run so fast? ?
Even Artemis was stunned for a moment, but she quickly grasped the full moon bow again and ordered: "Go forward."
"yes!"
Next, Artemis and thirty Gray Knights ran quickly, raising up the dust that a convoy could only create on this hellish desert.
On the other hand, the plague doctor's speed is getting faster and faster, leaving Artemis and the Gray Knights far behind. And the most amazing thing is that the doctor can run faster and take out his notebook to write.

Plague doctors are an abnormal phenomenon native to the earth. Since they are all "abnormal", how can there be any logic there?
Because of this, the Plague Doctor arrived at the very tip of the bottom of the pyramid, which is also the entrance to the interior, before Artemis and others.
Here, there are countless demonic creatures.
Most of them are deformed and twisted humanoids, with red and sticky blood-colored skin. They stare at the extremely small and lonely Plague Doctor with their sinister eyes that emit green light.
Immediately afterwards, the demons showed extremely greedy smiles, making their already ugly faces even more hateful.
They couldn't defeat the Astartes, couldn't they subdue a "dwarf"?
But before the demon could take action, the plague doctor took the initiative to approach the demon with a bull head and a human body, which was about six meters tall. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand to touch the demon's left calf.
"Roar??"
The moment he was touched by the Plague Doctor, the Minotaur Demon felt numb all over his body. After letting out a cry of confusion, he couldn't control himself and fell into a faint. With a "plop!", he looked up and collapsed on the sand.
"Huh~huh~ How fresh and delicious, oh... no, I should say what a fresh experiment~ Today's results are rich~"
Just listen to the plague doctor humming a song, open the bag with his left hand, and pull the Minotaur Devil's feet with his right hand, and then, in the "eyes of the demons", he lifted the Minotaur Devil with one hand, and directly gave this "poor" guy Stuffed into his little bag.
The whole process went smoothly.
? ? ! !
What's happening here? !
The demons were stupid.
On the other hand, the Plague Doctor found that catching only one of the experimental subjects was not enough, so he glanced at the demons around him, moved his hands and wrists, and said with a smile: "Please cooperate with the doctor's work and stay where you are and don't move. "
Cooperate?
How is it possible to cooperate? !
"Roar!!"
The demons, who were already frightened by Artemis, the Gray Knights, and the reservists, turned around in panic, howled and fled from here. Now, to them, the strange doctor in front of them was ten thousand times more terrifying than the Astartes.
Shortly after.
When Artemis and others rushed to the entrance of the pyramid, they happened to see the Plague Doctor stuffing a dog-like demon into his bag and waving to her and the Gray Knights.
"..." Artemis and others were speechless.
At first, I thought that Plague Doctors were just "medical" or "civilian" personnel with eccentric personalities and rich knowledge. Even if they had certain combat capabilities, they should be far weaker than Astartes.
From this point of view, this plague doctor is by no means as simple as everyone imagined.
In fact, Artemis and this group of Gray Knights "joined" Umbrella later than the Plague Doctor. At that time, the Plague Doctor was able to be successfully controlled by Hank, one of the pinnacles of mankind, mainly because the Plague Doctor was willing to cooperate. If not Hopefully, Umbrella at that time had no ability to forcefully control the doctor.
After a brief period of surprise, everyone entered the interior of the pyramid together and continued to move and investigate to the top, trying to search for the "gods" imprisoned in the records, or the "evil gods" who were imprisoned.
Walk in.
Its interior is almost identical to the pyramid ruins on the surface of Sokoyan, but everything is in reverse. The originally neat walls are covered with squirming, twitching bloodshot eyes, and thick pus-like liquid.
If ordinary people saw this, they would definitely stay away, but the plague doctor collected samples with great interest, and sighed: "God! If I had known that I could get so much material on a business trip, I wouldn't stay on earth!"
Afterwards, everyone listened to the plague doctor's chatter while walking through the pyramid, passing through the reverse hall with load-bearing columns, and then continued moving forward. Finally, they came to the "top" of the pyramid, which is also the largest area. square.
Here, there is no gathering of demons as imagined, but there are two stone pillars engraved with marks in the center of the square, and the metal chains hanging on the top of the stone pillars tightly bind a "prisoner" standing between the two stone pillars.
Not far behind the prisoner, there was a crystal coffin. Due to the angle, Artemis could not see clearly what was in the coffin or who was in it, but the first time she saw the prisoner, she blurted out:
"uncle?"
Even though the other person's hair was disheveled, Artemis could still recognize him. He was her uncle, Hades, who was also one of the twelve main gods of Olympus.
?
Hearing the familiar voice, Hades, who was bound by the metal chain, regained some of his consciousness. He slowly raised his head and looked forward with bloodshot eyes. Then "his" face froze, and it was hard to believe that the demon Samael A sneak attack, how could the sleeping niece appear here.
"Little..." Hades just wanted to remind him something.
"Boom~-----!!!" was interrupted by a shaking like the ground was shaking.
I saw a humanoid "Titan" with a height of four hundred meters, skin like blazing fire, eyes like green gems, and horns on both sides of its forehead jumped from the sky and landed on the desert at the edge of the pyramid.
Moreover, as the "Titan" landed, the flames that continued to burn the sky dissipated without a trace, as if the flames that enveloped the entire field were the incarnation of this humanoid "Titan".
From this point of view, this "Titan" may be the evil god who imprisoned Hades in the account.
If it were tens of thousands of years ago, Artemis, who had not been pierced through the abdomen by Cassius and fell into a deep sleep, would have habitually announced her identity, asked the name of the enemy, and then tested each other to confirm their strength. .
But after waking up, especially Artemis who was influenced by Sui Bian, she was also too lazy to say anything or test anything. The moment she saw a change in the sky and the "Titan" came into view, she was already Withdrawing the less powerful Full Moon Bow, he used his right hand to remove the Thunderbolt, and then swung the tip of the Thunder towards the "Titan"...
ri~-----!
The thunder crystal emerged more and more intensely, emitting a dazzling golden spiritual light.
"Crack!!!"
A bolt of psychic lightning was twisted and bent instantly. In just one stroke, this bolt of psychic lightning shattered and scattered the humanoid Titan's body.
The whole process couldn't last even two seconds.
Two seconds later, the fire in this area disappeared, the whispers and corruption stopped abruptly, and everything returned to tranquility. When Artemis shook off her numb right hand, she hung the thunderbolt on her waist again, which meant that the battle was over. Finish.
"Oh, what a good material." Only the Plague Doctor shook his head repeatedly, "It's a pity" for the "Titan" who had been killed instantly and didn't even know his name.
"Fortunately, there is another one here..." At this time, the plague doctor looked at Hades with his deep eyes, and his eyes gradually became "hot".
"..." Artemis glanced at the Plague Doctor, then stepped forward and ordered: "Ran F, bring your brothers to follow me. The rest of the team disperses and remains vigilant."
"Okay, ma'am."
The four groups of Gray Knights immediately dispersed. Another group of Gray Knights, Artemis and the Plague Doctor walked to the center of the square to inspect the crystal coffin and the bound Pluto.
As she approached, she heard Hades say extremely weakly: "Artemis... you... why are you here, that is... thunder? Zeus... how is he?"
"It's a long story...Uncle." Artemis did not rush to explain, but said to the plague doctor: "Doctor, I will leave the rest to you first."
"Hahaha, good kid, don't worry. Although I am impatient, I will not treat patients who are willing to cooperate too badly. Okay, let me check!"
The plague doctor smiled, and took out his favorite large bone saw from the small bag. He easily cut off the metal chain that bound Hades, so that Hades could lie flat on the ground. At the same time, he took out various Such tools conduct a comprehensive examination of Hades to confirm whether he is suffering from the plague, or whether Hades has been corrupted.
Artemis's psychic perception told her that Hades was still the kind uncle she knew thousands of years ago, but Hades's divine power had been weakened to its lowest point.
But she didn't believe Hades easily. After all, there were various ways of corruption in different spaces, so Artemis asked the plague doctor to check.
"Madam!" At this moment, the gray knight named Ran F saw the scene in the coffin and quickly reported to Artemis: "There is also a suspected resident of Mount Olympus here."
?
After hearing this, Artemis slowly came to the crystal coffin, looked down, and saw a beautiful "goddess" with a golden-proportioned figure, wearing a black ancient Greek dress, and long black hair.
Moreover, the face of this "goddess" has some similarities with Artemis, but this "goddess" looks much older, lacking Artemis's "out of place", and even more Steady and mature.
Persephone?
The moment she saw this "goddess", Artemis recognized that the person lying in the coffin was her half-sister and her aunt, the "Queen of the Underworld" Persephone.
As for my aunt...
Because Persephone and Hades were husband and wife.
There was no way, the relationship between them Olympian gods was extremely corrupt, which was why she was too lazy to get involved in it at the beginning and had always been alone. However, Persephone and Hades were indeed considered to be the best. A model couple between gods.
Seeing that it was her sister lying in the coffin, Artemis stretched out her hands and tried to lift the lid of the coffin.
But "the barium bag was holding her hands together and they were burned by the electric current, forcing her to give up the idea of opening the coffin lid."
It seemed that this coffin was subject to some kind of curse, and it was a curse that even her strength could not remove.
"Madam?" Ran F aimed his exclusive power halberd at the coffin.
"It's okay." Artemis waved her hands with a few wisps of smoke and said, "Move the coffin and prepare to evacuate here."
"Yes." Seeing that his mentor and commander were fine, Ran F lowered his halberd blade and began to direct his brothers to carry the coffin.
Artemis returned to the plague doctor and Hades and asked, "Doctor, how are you?"
"Hmm..." The plague doctor groaned and shook his head slightly in response: "The situation is not good. His body has been irreversibly damaged. The only good news is that although this patient is in the plague, he has not been infected by the plague."
"That's enough." Artemis put away her worries and continued: "Doctor, please complete the examination as soon as possible. We need to withdraw from this realm of chaos."
"Okay kid, give me five minutes, no! Three minutes is enough."

…
Fourteen days later.
The inner world of the Terra Shield.
With its wings spread, the Full Moon sailed into the inner earth world through the North Pole entrance that had always been kept open, and then headed to Umbrella's exclusive star port in New Raccoon City at a constant speed.
Another half hour later, in the underground base located a hundred meters below the new headquarters building, Artemis, who had taken off her power armor, and a group of Gray Knights, accompanied the plague doctor and the soldiers responsible for the plague doctor's safety, using levitation technology. The cart led Hades, who was lying in a comatose state on the hospital bed, and Persephone, who was still lying in the crystal coffin, to the central hall.
The floodgates open. uuread a book
Get into it.
Sui Bian, always dressed in black formal attire, also appeared in public view.
"Ah~! Sir, I'm glad to see you as soon as I get back from my business trip!" The plague doctor said excitedly as soon as he found Sui Bian, and seemed to be very satisfied with the business trip.
"Chairman." Artemis no longer addressed her as "Boss" in public, and pushed the crystal coffin in front of Sui Bian, saying in a respectful tone: "We can do nothing to seal the curse of this coffin."
"Um."
Sui Bian nodded, then stretched out the index finger of his left hand and poked the coffin slightly. He only heard "stuck~" and "crash!", and the invisible seal curse was easily pierced by him.
Everyone who witnessed this scene looked as normal as they were used to it.
After all, anything and any threat would be an "instant kill" in front of the current chairman. The Gray Knights even believed that if the evil god really dared to step into the physical universe, the result would be a violent beating by their father.
Sui Bian, who had removed the curse, put his hands behind his back, smiled at the Plague Doctor and Artemis, and said, "Okay, it's time to find out what happened to the Pluto couple."
"Yes, Chairman."
