Chapter 544
This night was the darkest day in Gotham’s history. Before that, the citizens of Gotham's thought they had experienced true despair in the chaos of Joker, but in those who shouldn’t When the ghosts that appeared in this world were born from the darkness and spread with bloody air, they realized that the real despair had come silently.
"Run!"
Sergeant Swann took his two police officers and ran wildly on the empty dark road, the warm street lights of rays of light in this brief moment changed They are so pale and seem so indifferent, pulling their helpless silhouette on the ground so long, and behind them, a layer of invisible mist is engulfing the city behind them, faintly, thousands of times. Ghost cry, endless forest spreading from the mist, enough to make anyone who hears scalp numb.
Inspector Swann was very lucky. When he received the order from Deputy Chief Pete, he was on the outskirts of Gotham. He was not able to go to the assembly point in the sewer in time, but he avoided that. A wave of deadly traps, but this is not a lucky one, because as they drove into the lower city, they encountered a strange fog in front of them.
Swan felt that it was impossible for him to forget the scene just now. The driving car suddenly turned off, and then a one-eyed monster waving a stone stick appeared out of the fog, and a stick smashed the car glass. , Dragging the unprepared team member into the strange fog, he only had time to let out a sharp, terrified neigh, and then Swan heard the terrifying chewing sound.
The sound of chewing bones, eating flesh and blood, is like a nightmare, and those buildings shrouded in gray fog, those suddenly extinguished lights, Swann has reason to believe that those families have already Disappeared in a cruel way.
"Run! Don't stop!"
The fatty officer who was behind Sheriff Swan ran for tens of meters, and then fell on the ground panting. Swan rushed back to save him, but was stopped by him. The officer drew his pistol and moved towards the strange fog behind him and shot, he shouted:
"I I’m not alive, Swann, Kohler, run!"
"peng peng peng"
Bullets flew out of the muzzle, and the hot smoke would be grayed out The fog dissipated a little, but it was filled in an instant. Swann is a really passionate young sheriff. Otherwise, he would have taken the initiative to apply to Gotham, but at this time, he could only watch his companion be damned. The gray mist is eaten by little by little.
It's the kind of hell chewing, and the blood that shoots to the ground, damn it!
He clenched his fist. He hated this feeling of powerlessness. Until this moment, when he first joined, the words that Chief Gordon personally told him once again surfaced in Swann’s heart. :
"This is Gotham, the sheriff. Being a police officer here is different from being in other places. If you want to live long enough, you'd better understand what you have learned in other places. Forget about it."
"So, is this the real Gotham?"
Swann took a last look at the horrible corpse, turned moved towards the front has not been fogged The occupied area was immersed and rushed, and the guy who was with him had long gone. Under the threat of death, everyone who wanted to live would explode with incredible potential. Now Swann, too in this way.
"Huh...huh"
The young sheriff never felt like he was running so fast, but when he looked back next time, the gray fog behind him seemed to be completely gone. Farther away, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He was never afraid to fight the criminals head-on, but facing such an existence that ordinary people could not understand, Swan felt that his courage was fading a little bit, and he didn't even want to look back. She, when he accelerated the next time, his feet slipped, and the whole person could no longer control his body, moved towards the front and threw out, then fell to the ground embarrassedly.
He didn't even have time to feel the pain from his palm, he felt his body was enveloped by a strange smell of gas.
"It's going to die!"
This is the first thought that popped up in Swann's mind, but next moment, his physical instinct drove him to move towards the top of the crazy smash The punch was not the incapable body he imagined, on the contrary, it still had a disgusting stickiness. In short, he felt that he had hit something, and the thing howled and took a few steps back.
"You soul, I will accept it!"
This instinctive response to danger made Swann escape, but next moment, a black silhouette is there. Swann slowly gathered in front of his eyes. It was a guy wearing a weird black robe and holding a long-handled sickle. The moment he appeared, the sickle was cut towards Swann's neck, as fast as lightning.
Swann can only cross his arms and helplessly stand in front of him, but next moment, a shadow arrow flying down from a higher altitude whizzes into the gray mist, like Like a sharp blade that separated the flowing water, it pierced into the body of the evil spirit that had just been born in Gotham's from the back of the head.
"weng"
The gray mist around Swan dispersed in an instant, and the evil spirit in front of him trembled, turning into a stone and hitting the ground.
"Are you all right."
Oliver, holding a bow, jumped down from the 7th floor of the building and landed next to Swann Sheriff. He glanced at Swann. , Reached out and picked up the stone on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Go to the Devil Gang's station, where it can at least protect you from harm."
After he was turned, he was about to leave. As a result, he was shocked. Wang cried out:
"Hey, you know what...what the hell are these?"
"Shiki."
Oliver's head He didn’t vomit a very weird and slurred word, and later changed it to a more easily understood version of Swann: "You are treated as evil spirits, they live in another world, and now they have invaded and been attacked by those cities. The bastards brought it in. It’s a mess."
"Watfak!"
Swan made a foul language. He grabbed his hair and couldn’t accept it for a while. This kind of mutant world, but after calming down, he looked at Oliver who had gone far away, and he hurried to catch up: "Then who are you? Wizard? Hunting for Fiend? Why did you let me? Go to the Devil Gang? Are they not the biggest gangster in this city?"
Oliver glanced at him:
"You talk too much...you really I thought you were protecting this city? Faced with these evil spirits, you are at a loss. Then facing the evil spirits more dangerous than these, what should you do? Where you don’t know, where you don’t see, Devil Gang There are many more things done for this city than you think. Go, go there. That's probably the only safe place in this city."
Oliver extend the hand With a loud whistle, next moment, the huge monster hunter Hante screamed out of the darkness, Oliver leaped up, and at the last moment he left, he flicked his hand, and the black stone was thrown at him. Swann’s feet:
"If you maintain your stupid dignity and are unwilling to pray to the gang that you look down on for survival, if you are really determined to die, then go to the sewer array Smash it, I have to remind you that this will be a painful process, but if it succeeds, in Gotham's Doom, you may have grabbed the last ticket to survive."
"You Why do you want to help me!"
Swan firmly grasped the black stone in his hand, he moved towards the darkness and shouted loudly, but no one responded to him anymore.
On the other side, at the Devil Gang station, at the seven entrances of the wharf area, the demon warriors stationed in Gotham City have all been dispatched. They are transformed into demons, blocking the forefront of the gray mist invasion, which is actually In the area where the new-born Shikigami is rolled up, in the fog-shrouded place, mortals will not die immediately, but they will be chased down by those weak Shikigami. Once the devouring of flesh and blood is completed, their arrival will change. To become a complete body, the more souls they swallow, the stronger their strength will be.
But the gray fog is not infinite. In fact, at this meeting, it only covers one-sixth of the city. Sheriff Swann simply broke into that area because of bad luck.
"Get out!"
Sergei, who just returned to Gotham on vacation, held two spine battle axes and covered the magic fire on the axe. He rounded the weapon and turned it into one. The whirlwind of death rushed into the mist, and his body would recover completely in the bath of magic fire, but those newly born shikigami could not. The only problem was that there were too many ghosts.
"Hold here with flames! Kevin! Blow them away! Burn them all!" Sergei moved towards shouted behind him, next moment, a storm enveloping raging flames is abrupt Appeared in front of Sergei. In less than 3 seconds, it swept across the street like a crimson tornado, burning this piece of gray fog clean, and the lights on the street were restored to light, and the corroded ones could be seen. Buildings and dozens of black stones scattered on the street.
"Pick them back!"
Sergei ordered the warriors around him, and then quickly ran to the other side of the position, where he came from all over the city. Under the leadership of the gang, the refugees boarded a moving boat and went to seek refuge outside the city.
Anyone mentioned by Bane detonated a bomb when he left the city. This weak threat was impossible for Sergei to fool. In fact, they had sent out the three boats and did not see the bomb detonated.
Once a fist is punched, there is no threat. Many people know this, but Devil Gang executes it most thoroughly.
Bane himself knows that Devil Gang can’t be frightened by this, so he simply doesn’t bother to see and feel. Of course, these shikigami are his warnings and temptations. The real battle has not yet begun. The more flesh and blood devoured by the gods, the greater the pressure on the Demon Gang's position. The most terrible thing is that at the moment when Hyakki Yakou begins, the entire Gotham's space is blocked, and the Transmission Gate...can't be used anymore.
They are trapped here.
"Katherine and the others are not back! It's really bad!"
Sergei said to Wanda Maximoff, the scarlet witch who is studying the black stones, "I now suspect that Katherine was caught by those bastards. I live, but I can’t leave all these things behind to find them. Cyber Boss can’t get in touch either, Wanda Maximoff, can I trust you?"
"The chaos I left on Katherine and the others Magic has not changed."
Wanda Maximoff hovered a black stone in front of him, and while studying with Scarlet’s energy, he whispered: "This shows that their safety is okay. It is estimated that the opponent wants to use them. Threatening Cyber. The tortoises are leading people to clean the sewers under our feet. Once they have cleaned up, I will set off with them."
"Good!"
Sergei complied , He looked back and saw that the intensity of the gray mist was gradually expanding, and the demon warriors were also beginning to suffer damage. The number was absolutely inferior. They did not dare to rush to slash and kill like before, and could only hold on to the front line. Kevin's firestorm has less and less impact on these guys, and the intensity of the battle is rising rapidly.
"I found it!"
Wanda Maximoff let out a scream, the stone in front of her suddenly shattered, and a black smoke energy flew away, making Sergei subconsciously After taking a step back, Wanda Maximoff screamed:
"Quick! Swallow it!"
Wanda Maximoff is a researcher of equivalent to mystic in Devil Gang, especially in Cyber After opening the mystic information to her, all the senior officials knew that Scarlet Witch was very good at mysterious research. The next moment she called out in her voice, and Sergei subconsciously took a deep breath, breathed the black smoke into her body. inside.
"Um...a bit...a bit painful!"
Sergei contorts one's face in agony said a word, next moment, a black ghost face covered him On his face, his demonized claws also enveloped a layer of black blade-like power. He waved his claws, and the energy became violent, dividing the stone ten meters in front of him into two.
"What the hell is this?"
The bald guy took off his mask and looked towards Wanda Maximoff. The latter laughed and pushed the black stones to his eyes and said loudly :
"This is the residual energy of those Shikigami, like some seeds. After the qualified person swallows it, they can gain some abilities. It is much weaker than the power of the demon contract, but it is more adaptable. , And growth... It looks pretty good now."
"Damn little girl!"
Sergei curled up two fingers and hit Wanda Maximoff's head. "Then you Sergei Uncle as a test product! You should fight!"
"I was wrong!"
Wanda Maximoff holding head ran aside and said to Sergei: "Collect this Planting stones, they are very useful!"
"Well! I will immediately let brothers who have no contract to try."
Sergei grabbed the stone with the bag and left, but Stopped by Wanda Maximoff, the little girl lowered her voice: "Absorption is not always successful. Failure will be very painful, and there will even be a mortal danger. Don't let us try it by ourselves."
Slender fingers pointed at the helpless refugees: "Let them try!"
"This..."
Sergei hesitated for a while, Wanda Maximoff snorts disdainfully:
"Isn't this their city? Does it just make us bleed and sacrifice? Don't forget, Cyber said, we don't save those idiots who don't know how to save themselves, but only rely on others!"
p>"Okay!"
Sergei is not pedantic. He looked back at the increasingly anxious Warhammer, his eyes serious: "Because of the current situation, we do need some... freshness." Strength."
