"What... what happened?"
Eve curled up in the corner, looking up at the ceiling at the flickering lights swaying from the tremor.
What happened?
Everyone felt the tremor just now, and in this fairly spacious safe house, so patients started to scream in panic.
Not long ago, although it was unclear why, for reasons of value, so patients who were extrely valuable for research were brought here first, among them were Eve and her friends with ntal disorders.
Those ntally disturbed individuals were now tied to their beds, screaming, so yelling "Earthquake!", and others calling for their mom.
The dical staff tried their best to calm the patients, while soldiers with guns guarded the periter.
Sothing bad had happened...
The dical staff comforted the patients, saying this ti there wouldn't be injections, just a spring outing. Hearing this, those ntally disturbed individuals laughed joyfully.
Sotis Eve envied those guys. For fools, life needs not much thought, but Eve wasn't a fool, nor could she beco one. Among these patients, she was the only one with normal reason, and she vaguely understood what was happening.
This is Black Mountain Hospital, a heavy guarded place by the Purification chanism, and from the violent tremor just now, it seed only two things could happen here.
An experintal accident, or an enemy attack.
Unclear about the specifics, but from this speculation, whatever it was, it was undoubtedly not good. But then Eve felt it, that familiar feeling.
A weird, eerie chill pierced her heart like a sharp sword, her pupils slightly dilated, cold sweat dripping down her nose.
"Demon..."
Suddenly, the whole safe house fell silent, those noisy patients seed to have lost their ability to speak, just staring wide-eyed at the void.
The dical staff was startled by this sudden anomaly, but then a low murmuring sound arose.
"Demon..."
"Demon..."
"Demon..."
Every patient was now muttering about that strange demon. So were scared, so were angry, and so had already lost consciousness, fainting.
Eve stared blankly at all this, and only then did she react.
These patients weren't ordinary patients; they were all soldiers of the Purification chanism, admitted to Black Mountain Hospital due to demon corrosion. So recovered and retired, while others went completely mad.
They sacrificed everything for the Purification chanism, which is why they were prioritized for protection.
But now it seed a faint sanity was awakening from that madness, these madn were keenly aware of their mortal enemy, falling again into the nightmare.
"The enemy is coming! Soldiers!"
The long calm was broken. Old Cole, tied to his bed, shouted fiercely, while Soldier Gavin seed to see so terrible nightmare, clutching his head, trembling violently.
...
Above the ground, gun barrels continuously spewed fire, illuminating those iron-walled Armor of Original Sin. Pouring rain soaked the cold armor, reflecting the dreadful demons on the gleaming mirror surface.
The sound of breathing mixed with the noisy electric current, echoing in the birdcage. No one expected this sudden change; so had vaguely anticipated it, but never imagined it would happen so quickly.
Participants Blue Jade and Swift drew their weapons, while the others were dispatched to other sections of the research area. Only the two of them could be considered as combat strength here.
"Arthur should give the order now." rlin said.
In the previous plan, they considered what to do if the new Order attacked, but now, Lawrence's remnants joined in, with significant scale and unclear purpose, completely disrupting the preparations of the Purification chanism.
According to Arthur's previous estimation, fighting against Demon Hunters would not cause large-scale damage; as long as the birdcage was defended, it would be fine. But now ca the chaotic demons; no one knew where these damned things would appear or kill from, yet everyone knew that all demons must die here, not one should be left alive.
"We should evacuate; gathering together will only lead to a concentrated decapitation." rlin said again.
He had witnessed Lorenzo's power; these Demon Hunters all had extrely strong individual combat capabilities, and at present, they could not resist a Demon Hunter undergoing Secret Blood Awakening.
"Should... should we terminate the experint?"
Abigail asked, never having experienced such a battlefield firsthand; everything now was unfamiliar to her. She didn't know what to do, so she could only hand over decision power to these battle-hardened guys.
After a brief silence, Arthur finally spoke.
"rlin, Abigail, you two prioritize evacuation. Blue Jade, Swift, you take them away, find a way to escape Black Mountain Hospital. I'll go et up with Gawain, command the battle."
As key scholars of the Purification chanism, rlin and Abigail's lives were evidently more important than the soldiers. As long as they left alive, the Purification chanism had the possibility of continuing forward. If they were killed, this would be a severe blow to the Purification chanism.
"No, Arthur, regardless of who cos, we are only secondary targets for them. Their real target is Lorenzo... the Pseudo Holy Grail."
rlin vetoed Arthur's proposal.
"Lorenzo must evacuate first. Once they know Lorenzo is not here, they have no reason to continue the attack."
