I have found out your real name

Chapter 124 Hymn

The so-called Wicker Man is based on a sacrificial ceremony held by the Celts in early summer to pray for a good harvest. At first, it was just a large cage in the shape of an animal made of wicker, and the animals to be sacrificed were put into it, lit with fire and dedicated to the people. gods.

But soon, they gave this ritual a more bloody meaning. They would erect huge idols made of wood or grass, place prisoners, slaves or prisoners in them, and finally light the giant idols on fire and burn them together. The ancient Celts believed that the more people sacrificed, the more food the land would produce.

And now, after forcibly plundering the sacrifices, the giant statue made of plants is about to complete the human sacrifice ceremony in the burning flames.

Li Wu held the sword in both hands and inserted it vertically into the bottom of the cage.

"You are a mechanism used for human sacrifice, a giant weaving plants!"

He read aloud the words that activated the Kurikara Sword.

Responding to the nature of the enemy, the sword wrapped around the black dragon shone slightly, and the cyan flames flowed to the bottom of the cage, assimilating the contaminated flames used to burn the sacrifices into one body, and then quickly climbed out of the cage and walked along the path. Legs made of various different plants spread all the way down.

If the intelligent consciousness that controls the Wicker Man has read one of Donghua's classical novels about gods and demons, it will definitely understand that it cannot randomly stuff things into its body.

But now it can only act like an ordinary person who kicked the foot of the bed with his thumb, convulsing in the green flames, and even the action of raising his right hand to release the corn missile is delayed.

And no opponent will easily let go of this abnormal pause between attack waves.

Aoi Hoshikawa accelerated violently in the air, and passed over the peas, watermelons and corn kernels around her like a flying scalpel, cutting them into pieces of different sizes, and then rushed into the Wicker Man's head, which was made up of a big mushroom. nearby.

She laid Jiyotan flatly on the left side of her body, and the high-speed frictional airflow violently flowed through the ax surface, producing a sharp whistling sound and a thin layer of water vapor.

The central axis between the ax blades lit up with white blazing light, clinging to the ax blades at both ends like an electric current. Looking up from the ground, it looked like a ball of lightning.

The magical girl passed by the giant without slowing down.

Most of the giant mushroom head exploded suddenly, and a large amount of purple pus evaporated in mid-air before it could be spilled by the green flames that had eroded the upper body, leaving only a horrific wound ravaged by the giant ax and wind pressure.

"I will...destroy you...with rage."

Intermittent sounds came from the mushroom head, and the wound squirmed trying to repair itself, but the "sacrifice" in its body would not sit back and let this happen.

Li Wu drew his sword and cut away the cane that had been trying to reach into the cage to grab him from the beginning, and inserted the Kurigara sword back to its previous position with his backhand.

He imitated the tactics he used against the white dragon again and again, constantly beating and pushing the long sword to go deeper, and each blow would cause a churning green ring of fire.

In the end, the two legs of the Wicker Man could no longer support themselves and were bent and broken by the burning flames. The entire colossus collapsed like a pile of dead branches and rotten wood, raising smoke and dust that covered the entire botanical garden. The strong shock almost threatened to It made Li Wu think that the ground on this level was about to be crushed.

But in the end, it just fell silently on the ground where there was no grass and trees, and turned into a huge fire.

An explosive wind blew up from the center of the fire, carrying the broken stems and leaves of plants and surging out.

Li Wu grabbed the edge of the hole he blasted open and jumped out of the Wicker Man's body.

"Mr. Zombie has returned to the first floor. Do you want to go find him?"

Xingkawa Aoi retracted the light wings behind her and landed next to him and asked.

"We're all here, let's go to the third floor first."

Li Wu made a decision after thinking for a moment.

Although he was a little concerned about Akamatsu Goro's reaction after learning the truth, after all, the main purpose of coming this time was because of the rumors that Azure Pharmaceuticals was involved in superpower development technology.

So they walked around the botanical garden, whose ecology had been completely destroyed, with a burning corpse in the center, and finally found the passage to the third floor in the upper left corner.

I don’t know what the considerations were for building this shelter. There are no elevators or other facilities between floors, so you can only go up and down on two legs.

If the first floor is arranged for people to live in, and the second floor is similar to a giant greenhouse, then the third floor gives the impression of a complex factory.

After coming out of the gate connecting the second floor, it turned out to be a steel structure corridor built in the air.

Through the floor-to-ceiling glass on both sides, you can overlook the vertically extending pipelines and facilities similar to crawler transport aircraft below.

Next to the belt of the transport plane, there are tanks of about ten cubic meters in size spaced apart. They all contain liquids of unknown composition. They sway slightly and reflect the green light above, giving the entire space a strange tone. .

In the sink, you can still vaguely see glass jars placed side by side. Most of them are empty, with a few of them showing the remains of plants, and a small part... Li Wu personally thinks they are human bodies.

The twin sunflowers in the flowerpot that Xiaobai had been holding made a small cry. They were not affected by the battle just now, and they did not join in the trouble with their own kind.

"I have no idea what this place is for."

Hoshikawa Aoi announced.

"Judging from the previous display of the big mushroom, I think it is used for human cloning and the like... The underworld clones I met before may have been manufactured here."

Li Wu analyzed it carefully, which elicited a protest of "Hey!"

There was a Frisbee-shaped building connected to the front of the corridor, and they stepped into it.

The most central one is the room with the door number of the supervisor's office, which occupies the largest space. On both sides of it are various compartments with different functions.

It is obvious at a glance that some compartments are used for storing files or conducting experiments, but the purpose of some compartments is unclear.

For example, just to the right of the supervisor's office, there was a house that was the second largest in area. The walls were made transparent. Li Wu could see that there were soft carpets, plush toys, and even a crib inside.

Because this style was so eye-catching here, he couldn't help but push open the door of this room first.

The moment the two entered the door, the TV hanging in the upper right corner of the house automatically turned on, and cheerful melodies poured out.

"Here... are idol programs used for early childhood education?"

Hoshikawa Aoi half raised her head and said in disbelief.

What was shown on the TV was the song and dance program of the idol group that the zombies on the first floor were watching. Li Wu could see the girl named Xiao Yangzi leaning close to the camera and showing a sweet smile.

It’s truly a meritocracy.

I just don’t know who this house is for.

There's nothing noteworthy here except a TV that automatically plays when someone comes in.

So the two of them walked straight into the supervisor's office. The decoration inside was not like an office, but more like a church suitable for devout believers to pray. The magnificent ceiling was decorated with portraits of religious figures, and the walls were decorated with cross coats of arms. and paintings depicting the miracle of resurrection after death.

Li Wu thought of the cross and theological classics he saw when he first entered this place, and then thought of Abu Khattak's identity, and a strange sense of dislocation emerged.

"The computers here can actually turn on."

There was no information in the office. Li Wu turned on the desktop computer placed on the long wooden table without any hope. The screen lit up unexpectedly.

And there is no password set yet.

However, the reason was obvious. Most of the memory in the machine had been cleared, and the remaining documents named experimental logs were basically irrelevant to the experiment. However, his eyes lit up when he saw the letter A in the suffix.

The so-called deceased is dead. Brother Abu was unfortunately eaten by a dragon, but his secret should not go with him.

Completely forgetting who fed the vampire's head to the dragon, Danren quickly browsed the contents of the document.

"The plants are almost mature, and it's time for the Anthem Project to be tested."

The first sentence came out with a name I had never heard before.

Combined with the information collected previously, does this Anthem Project refer to the plan he found to develop super powers?

But what follows is a large section of blank space, and the content jumps to what you eat every day and scolding Party A.

Li Wu endured Abu Khattak's complaints and finally saw informative content again.

"Experimental Subject 032 is obsessed with watching human idols. It's really an interesting change. I mobilized a group of resources to come in and tell them one by one. It's okay."

What follows is a series of comments on the major idol girl groups at the time.

Li Wu viciously cursed the vampire, who might have turned into minced flesh, to rot and stink, and then continued to look down.

It was already at the end of the document when content related to the Anthem Project was mentioned again.

"Almost all 666 experimental subjects have been destroyed, but 032 ran away. They are really a bunch of useless losers."

Li Wulian thought of the experimental accident that led to the collapse of Weilan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., which may be referring to the "defection" of the experimental subjects.

He also understood who the room he saw before was for.

The vampire's record seems to end here, and then an unknown person attached a report-like record at the end:

"The traces of Experimental Subject 032 have been confirmed. After escaping, he hid in the sewer system of Uchiko Street in Hanaya Town. He was in a dead state when he was found. The body showed signs of being devoured by wild beasts. The remaining parts have been recovered - the information of the hymn should be No risk of leakage.”

Li Wu turned off the monitor, and the dark screen reflected two equally confused faces.

"Are those experimental subjects... used for superpower development?"

The magical girl clenched her fists, "This is too much."

"Judging from the few words here, Experimental Subject 032 at least resisted and caused them a lot of trouble."

Although the final outcome is still death.

After learning only half of what happened here, a gloomy atmosphere suddenly enveloped every inch of space here, making people so depressed that they couldn't help but want to smash something.

After leaving the director's office, they searched the Frisbee-shaped building again and found facilities such as classrooms that were probably used to educate experimental subjects, a reading room with empty bookshelves, and other facilities.

If the 666 experimental subjects were humanoid and their ages matched the facilities they saw, this would probably be an overly busy nursery.

It's a pity that now it's just a bad hell joke.

While walking in the corridor on the way back, Li Wu threw a fireball downwards. The flames exploded right next to one of the sinks, exploding half of the groove. As soon as the viscous liquid poured out along the gap, it was engulfed by the wrathful flames. Ignite it and turn the entire water tank into a bonfire as it flows upstream.

"Classmate Li Wu, are you angry?"

The footsteps of the girl walking in front echoed in the empty third floor, and then suddenly stopped.

Hoshikawa Aoi turned around and asked.

"To say he is angry is an exaggeration."

Li Wu extinguished the flame in his hand, "I just feel a little uncomfortable."

After stepping into the extraordinary world, the "malice" he encountered was actually not very concentrated.

Yu Uehara didn't show up suddenly until the end, and was defeated without much effort. In the meantime, he just ran around and made enemies of monsters.

The subsequent battle with Airisa's father was essentially just a family conflict. As for Abu Khattak and his men, to be honest, they were inhuman creatures, and he also treated them with the same mentality as monsters. .

But the investigation during this period, although there were also aliens such as mermaids and vampires involved, but overall it was steeped in the unique malice of humans towards their own race.

For example, the murder case of the mermaid who still does not know who the murderer is, Makoto Hirata who placed his hope on his relatives in the company but was transformed into a zombie, and the various things in this shelter...

Just when his thoughts were wandering to an unknown place, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder.

"Don't think too much, just open the muzzle and shoot at the enemy in front of you - this is what one of my seniors said to me."

The magical girl tried to reason seriously, "So don't worry, Li Wu-san, let's cum!"

"Well, thank you."

Although she felt something was wrong, her comfort was still received.

Being distracted by this, Li Wu thought that there was still an unresolved incident: "Go and see how the zombies on the first floor are doing."

The key to zombie survival is not to get headshot.

Therefore, the former owner of the Corpse Club who was lying in front of Li Wu and the others obviously could never stand up.

Old Borg's head was beaten into paste by peas, while the new boss was still sitting at the bar, drinking cup after cup of power drinks. After suddenly killing the former in a sudden attack, the new boss announced that everyone could drink as much as they wanted for three days. Coupled with the weapon deterrence removed from the plant's head, this simple power grab was successfully accomplished.

"Which play are you acting in?"

Li Wu asked while sitting next to Akamatsu Goro, while Hoshikawa Aoi leaned at the door and looked at the situation indoors.

"Death of a Fool and Reign of Lies?"

The latter really thought about it and replied.

"After you know that the outside world is fine, don't you want to take them out?"

Faced with this somewhat pointed question, the zombie lowered his head, then turned to look at him calmly: "Before I went upstairs, did I tell you that I would rather see the real thing?"

He did not expect an answer, but continued with a deep sense of exhaustion: "Now I regret it. I would rather continue to live in lies, believing that the outside is already a wasteland full of radiation, and this is the only safe home." .”

"I won't take everyone out. This is the price we pay for surviving. Those patients who were hurt more deeply, those whose minds were destroyed in inhumane experiments, the people here are not victims, they are also perpetrators. part of the person."

Li Wu looked at him for a while, then placed the sunflower pot held by Xiao Bai on the bar: "At least add some green?"

The twin sunflowers opened their leaves and turned their two flower disks curiously.

"so cute."

Goro Akamatsu touched its head and said, "Since the botanical garden has been demolished by you, it's time for everyone to get familiar with the plants."

After placing the sunflowers that led them to discover this place, Li Wu asked Chisong, who had recovered his memory, if he had any memories related to the Anthem Project. After getting the answer, he left.

Before leaving, he heard the singing of the idol group Xiaoyangzi stood in the C position coming from the club again.

Akamatsu, who got the real answer, held a microphone and stood under the TV to cheer loudest.

"The world outside has been destroyed!"

The zombie said so.
