Advent

It was just a very slight call.

However, in today's situation, the sound of explosions, the sound of wet water when the tentacles squirm, and even the screams of surviving humans coming from the corner in a trance... are much more normal than a child's immature and clear whisper .

This is why such a slight call attracted all the attention of Rafael and Sakhir at the same time.

They all turned their heads and ran towards the end of the corridor.

A child is standing there.

The boy's pupils were pitch-black, and his thin figure seemed so insignificant under the broken walls, ashes, flames, and slime from tentacles.His body was covered in ashes, his clothes were so tattered that it looked like a rag, there was only a piece of pure black in his wide-open eye sockets, without a trace of white.The most important thing is that his arms are not like human arms at all. Through the torn clothes, it can be clearly seen that his arms are covered with sparse feathers, and it looks like someone has made a deformed The wings of the big bird were cut off and transplanted to such a small boy.

But even so, Sakir still accurately recognized the boy's face with the characteristics of the Sioux.

"It's you..." he called, recognizing Belian instantly.

Although the boy now looks like a monster, Sakhir still recognized Belian at a glance as the child who miraculously brought Allen from the central axis area to the ring area—they originally wanted to bring this boy Tong Tong, but the other party didn't give them a chance at all, and escaped at an alarming speed.

Before this moment, neither Sakir nor Rafael thought that the child could still be alive.After all, today's Tianmao human military base has long been turned into a purgatory on earth.

It's just that judging from the current situation, their worries about this child seem a bit redundant.

Yes, Belian is alive, not only alive, he also saved Raphael and Sakhir when a tentacle suddenly attacked them.

At the time, Sakhir and Raphael didn't even realize anything: they only saw Belian suddenly spread his ugly wings, and the boy flew smoothly through a long corridor at a ghostly speed, and then came to them. On the side of their sides, hands like bird claws firmly grabbed the front of their clothes, and then pulled it suddenly——

A wet and smelly wind swept past the backs of Sakhir and Rafael's heads.

The terrified human suddenly turned around, only to see a white tentacle protruding from the crack on the ground due to the disintegration of the structure.

After missing a hit, the tentacles were drooping to the ground, dying.

There is a fist-sized lump on the top of the tentacle. The bump is uneven, and it vaguely looks like a human face (Raphael doesn’t want to admit that the human face looks a bit like the dead Raymond. De), that blurred human face is now swaying towards Rafael and Sakhir, and the big mouth formed by the depression seems to be shouting something.

This damn thing looks so weak that it might die at any time, but there is a kind of frenzy emanating from this ugly mass of flesh that makes normal humans feel shuddering.

"What the hell is this?"

Rafael was so disgusted that he shuddered, and then couldn't help muttering.

Sakhir looked as silent as ever, but involuntarily hugged Alan's body on his shoulders a little tighter.

Unlike the ignorant Rafael, he clearly felt that the attack of the tentacle with all its strength at that moment was completely aimed at the corpse in his arms.

Why exactly?

Such a terrifying monster, until this moment, still has an abnormal desire for Alan, a human on earth?

This question really needs to be studied carefully, but... now is not the time.Sakhir put his hands on the weapon at his waist silently, and then looked warily at the boy who saved their lives just now.

"Alan mentioned you to us, your name is Belian, isn't it?"

Sakhir said vigilantly, intentionally or unintentionally protecting Rafael behind him.

In fact, according to the training he had received all along, the moment this inhuman creature approached them, he should shoot directly to eliminate all threats in their infancy.In particular, the situation they are facing now is still so severe, but maybe it is because what happened on this day is so crazy that when Sakhir saw such a monster, he couldn't help but feel vigilant. There was even a vague sense of intimacy.

Could it be because this kid brought Alan out before?Or is it because he has a special mental brainwashing ability?

Sakhir's face was calm, but he was quickly analyzing the current situation in his heart.

Belian didn't seem to care too much about the trouble and pressure he brought to Sakhir.

The young child raised his head and looked at the two humans in front of him. The expressions on his immature cheeks changed. Sometimes he looked like a real child, but at other times, a weird calm expression would occupy his cheeks, making him He looks like a wise prophet, and everything is under his control.

But now, Belian didn't seem to notice Sakhir and Raphael, but instead focused on the body of Allen on Sakhir's shoulder. Even humans who were on guard could feel that he There was a touch of sadness and sadness in the dark eyes.

"plz follow me……"

he said softly.

"Come? You, where are you going? Who are you? What are you going to do?"

Raphael stared nervously at the child in front of him, then asked cautiously.

"I am a deplorable man who is trying to change the flow of the river..."

Bellian said.

It seemed that he realized that his ambiguous self-introduction made the two fragile humans more uneasy, and then he raised his hand again, showing his palm to Sakhir and Rafael.

The mark belonging to the Sioux people shines brightly in his palm that has become a bird's claw.

"Priest? Wait, you are actually a priest of the Sioux?"

As a qualified Security Bureau agent, when Sakhir came to the Tianmao human military base to carry out missions, of course he carefully studied the information of all members in the base.

Naturally, this also includes the Sioux people.Well, in fact, these Sioux people, known as the assassination nation, are still his key research objects.

When he found out that Belian was the priest of the Sioux people, Sakhir of course also remembered those weird customs and legends that belonged to the Sioux people that he thought were nonsense before...

"You will actually become another kind of creature."

Sakhir's eyes fell on the bird feather on Belian's body, but this time, his eyes were more serious.

Belian didn't pay attention to the astonishment of the human beings. After quickly identifying himself, the child turned around and led Sakhir and Rafael to a certain direction.

Of course, Sakhir and Rafael did not move, but looked at each other more vigilantly.Perhaps aware of the hesitation of those two people, Belian stopped immediately after taking a few steps, and then turned his head...

"Hurry up, or there will be no time."

He urged.

"No time for what?"

Sakhir asked, the cold sweat on his palms almost made him unable to hold the gun handle.

"resurrection."

Bellian said word for word.

Then he raised his hand and pointed to the motionless corpse on Sakhir's shoulder...

"Resurrect him."

Bellian said again.

"Resurrection Allen? What does this mean..."

Raphael looked at Belian, then at the corpse on Sakhir's shoulder, and raised his voice in shock.

But Belian obviously didn't have time to answer him.

There was another explosion, and the air wave made Sakhir and Rafael turn somersaults and roll straight forward.

The two of them finally stabilized their figures, but then, another suction force came from behind them

"Oops, this damn place is disintegrating!

Raphael yelled.

This time, even if they don't want to follow Belian, it's okay.

It was detected that there was a serious leak in the outer corridor of the spacecraft, and the independent force field generators in the corridor also trembled.One after another, the security doors were like the guillotine's knives, slamming down behind them.

Until now, these safety gates on the base are still trying to prevent the base from completely disintegrating in accordance with the previous predetermined procedures so as not to threaten the lives of the personnel inside the base.

Of course, it must be admitted that this procedure, to a certain extent, did ease the process of the base's complete disintegration.

But for the current Rafael and Sakhir, the situation is quite serious—once they are enclosed in an independent force field, what awaits them is complete perdition.

After all, in the program, after the safety door falls, the staff in the base only need to stay safely inside the airtight force field and wait for the people sent by other departments of the base to rescue them.

And now... Raphael is very suspicious of how many humans are still alive in the base.

Driven by the explosion, Rafael and Sakhir had no choice but to run wildly.

Running in front of them was Belian. He was so small, but he ran almost as fast as a ghost, and he was also very sharp, always able to find the safe one in the intricate corridors.

Moreover, maybe Belian did have some kind of magical ability, and every security door would wait until the three passed through safely before it would slam down.It's just that even Rafael, who has the weakest physical strength, can hear the constant explosions behind him while running wildly...

Those falling safety doors are useless, after all, the entire circulator of the Tianmao human military base is already disintegrating.

The irony is that now it must be said that there is still a position in the base that can barely be called safe (of course, this kind of security may only last for a short while), but it was previously considered by everyone to be a pariah, a mixed-race trash The central axis area where bags and weirdos will stay.

Because of the structural design, the central axis area is far stronger than the annular area.

Those metal structures, pipes, and heavy mechanical parts that once caused the people outside the territory to suffer unspeakably have now become the last piece of driftwood to shelter them.

However, in such a tragic situation, if Rafael and Sakhir want to escape from the ring zone and go to the central axis zone, what they need is not only the physical strength of running wildly, but also...

Belian, who had been leading the way, led Rafael and Sakhir through countless offices, rooms, and corridors, and suddenly stopped in the middle of a dark hall, and Sakhir also stopped.

"Oh wait—no—"

Only Rafael, who was running unconscious and out of breath, almost didn't stop.

This man who has been working as a civilian in the Security Bureau has not experienced such a crashing run for a long time. Before he could stop, his center of gravity was unstable, and his upper body suddenly leaned forward. The whole person almost passed Belian and fell directly. to the front of the boy.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and grabbed him forcefully, dragging him back behind him.

It wasn't until this time that Rafael could clearly see the terrifying situation in front of Belian's toes.

He suddenly discovered that this was actually the elevator hall leading from the central axis area to the circular area, but now two-thirds of the area of ​​the hall has completely collapsed, and a huge, pitch-black void replaced the original elevator shaft.

Only a thin polyester shell of the elevator shaft is struggling to hold on, but what good is that?Rafael could almost see the dark universe outside the elevator shaft through the shell of the elevator shaft.

He shivered, and it was very clear that if he hadn't been caught by Sakhir just now and fell directly, he might have already...

No, no, he didn't want to think about that "possibility".

Raphael shuddered,

Moreover, after seeing the situation in front of him clearly, a feeling of despair suddenly surged in Rafael's heart.

The sound of the explosion did not stop at all, but became more intense, proving that the disintegration of the ring area had gradually approached their area.But look at the current situation, even the most heroic agents, it is impossible to return to the central axis area without an elevator-they don't even have the right to choose a new route, because all the roads they pass are now They have all been reduced to fragments floating in the vacuum...

Rafael turned his head and looked at the indifferent man beside him with a pale face. It might be a bit shameful, but what advice did Rafael really expect Sakhir to give him.Although he can maintain a little false calm on the surface, Rafael is very clear that another soul in his body is already screaming for him to write a suicide note...

Immediately afterwards, Rafael discovered that when he was looking at Sakhir, Sakhir had been looking at Belian.

The child was standing on the edge of the collapse, with only a little toe resting on the thin metal sheet, and it looked like he was about to fall into the abyss at any moment, but the child did not seem to have the slightest fear, and even his body was slightly leaning forward,

"What shall we do next?"

Rafael was shocked to hear Sakhir so calmly asking a child... a child who looked like a monster.

Sakhir is seriously consulting Belian about his fitness.

Belian nodded slightly towards the two humans beside him, as if to appease them.

Immediately afterwards, he closed his eyes. He seemed to be thinking, and seemed to be performing some ritual... Gradually, a painful expression appeared on that immature face.

"Hey, kid you..."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Rafael couldn't help but feel a little worried. He subconsciously opened his mouth to ask Belian if he was okay, but before he finished speaking, the scene that shocked him so much that he couldn't speak happened just like that...

Belian suddenly opened his arms. The arms that were originally covered with thick bird feathers suddenly stretched. The black feathers covered his entire body at a speed visible to the naked eye. His skin was covered with icy scales like snake scales.

Just like that, Belian transformed from a weird-looking monster child into a...real monster directly in front of them with lightning speed.

"wait wait wait--"

Rafael clung tightly to Sakhir's side.

Belian ignored the panic of the human beings, he raised his neck, and uttered a sweet cry that didn't match his ugly appearance...

At the instant the yell came out, there was a slight movement on the other side of the elevator shaft.

Sakhir's whole body was tense, the distance was too far, Sakhir doubted whether he had misread it, but the next moment he knew that it was definitely not an illusion——

"Crack...crack...crack..."

There was a heavy flapping of wings from the lower part of the abyss.

Another bird-shaped monster with a snake neck and a human face.

It's just that this one looks bigger and stronger than Belian turned into a strange bird.Even more ferocious.

Naturally, it's even more disgusting...

And the strange bird flapped its thick wings and appeared in front of the three of them.

If Allen was still alive, he might have recognized it at a glance. The bird-shaped monster that appeared in front of them was none other than Wujie Yada, who had been controlled and killed countless people before.

It still has the wounds left by the White Emperor before, and every time it flaps its wings, more mucus seeps out from the wounds that are hard to see with the naked eye in the gaps in the black feathers, and this also makes it It looks more and more horrible and disgusting.

And it exudes a strange aura, a kind of absolute evil and distortion. In comparison, the strange bird that Belian turned into looks as cute as an angel.

After seeing the crow, even Sakhir, who has strong self-control, couldn't control his emotions. He suddenly raised his hand and pointed his weapon at the monster in front of him.

Wu Jieyada's crazy black eyes flickered for a moment.

Sakhir's hairs stood on end, and at this moment he felt very clearly that the monster in front of him was likely to tear him to pieces.

It's just that Bellian suddenly uttered another cry, and Wu Jieyada's expression suddenly became stunned.

In the next second, Sakhir's wrist hurt, and the gun flew out.

"Sakhir!" The scene in front of him made Rafael scream, and he rushed over.

Then Belian, and this monster that seemed to crawl out of hell, stretched out its claws directly towards Raphael and Sakhir.

Belian grabbed the lighter Raphael, while the huge strange bird firmly grabbed Sakhir's waist.

Just like that, the two monsters spread their huge wings and plunged into the abyss... It had completely collapsed, and only the outer shell was still falling down the elevator shaft.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

Raphael started screaming.

The screams didn't stop even after they hit solid ground, echoing the loud explosion above their heads.

Immediately afterwards, the shell of the elevator shaft turned into dust under the impact of the explosion as expected, and at the other end of its connection, a bright flame bloomed in the ring-shaped area that originally surrounded the central axis area like a crown. Afterwards... silently transformed into countless shining debris floating in the dark universe.

Rafael's screams stopped abruptly, and then the airlock door slid down, completely sealing off the central axis area.

Of course, from the creaking metal scream, it sounds that the very old metal in the central axis area is gone, and I am afraid that it will not last long after the ring area is completely over. .

...Like Belrian said, they're running out of time.

After the two strange birds transported Raphael and Sakhir to the central axis area, they both hit the ground heavily.

Their bodies began to tremble, trembling, as if in pain, and then they shrank directly in front of the eyes of the two humans.Transformed from a terrifying monster to a human.

"You...you are from the Sioux clan..."

After transforming from a monster back to a human being, Sakhir immediately recognized the other man's recognizable appearance.

Wu Yuyada turned his head, and Sakhir couldn't help but immediately silenced.

He realized that Wujieyada seemed to be different from Belian. Half of Wujieyada's face was still in a distorted state, with countless maggot-like flesh whiskers coming from his eye sockets, ears, and corners of his mouth. Popping out, wriggling, his dark eyes changed from the previous coldness and terror to chaos.

"What happened to the Patriarch of the Sioux Clan?!

Sakhir turned to look at Belian.

A look of pain flashed across the face of Belian, who had always looked mature and prudent.

"He made a mistake."

Bellian said simply.

"Come……"

Bellian said again

The explosion in the ring area destroyed those proud humans who had oppressed them, but this incident did not move Belian in any way. He didn't even look at the airlock door, but hurried towards a certain direction go.

Then, everything is the same as before.He began to walk quickly with his human guests in the central axis area where the roads were more complicated.

He has been walking towards a certain direction, and the central axis area is also full of that kind of rotten tentacles and rotten flesh. The only difference may be that in the ring area, the ones Sakhir encountered Some parts of the wreckage are still alive.

But in the central axis area, almost all the tentacles and monster meat balls have died.

The air was filled with the stench of their dead slime.

The air is turbid and extremely thin. What's worse is that after the ring zone collapsed, the life support system supporting the central axis area also lost its effect bit by bit.

Every step forward, the two humans can feel the temperature is lower, and now they seem to be walking directly inside hell...
