Chapter 427 426. Demon Hunting

suddenly.

It's like all the burdens have been lifted off, and the haze lingering in my head has completely dissipated.

Colin's voice trembled, and he took a long breath. His mind was clearer than ever before, and everything suddenly became clear.

With a bitter smile on Irina's face, as if she had thought of something, she used a knife to cut open a plastic bottle with some water left in it, cut off the upper half, and used it as an ashtray.

She took out a pack of cigarettes from her desk drawer, opened it, took out one, lit it with a lighter and took a deep hiss.

"You finally don't have any fear anymore."

Irina said calmly, this is the best result, and everything should be disclosed openly.

Colin finally found his way, the way to end everything.

Being unmasked by others is a failure.

And take off the mask yourself.

It is a victory.

"Is it……"

Colin didn't know what to say. Was this fear? It was too complicated, more complicated than all the problems he had encountered before.

It's not something that can be solved by logic.

"Remember what you once said."

"Fear causes the brain to secrete transmitters."

"The fragrance attracts predators."

"There is nothing left in this world..."

"The abyss can prey on you."

Irina said calmly.

"hope so."

Colin stopped talking nonsense, turned around some passages, came to Ingrid's ward, and turned the door handle.

Not much different from what I remember.

Still the same woman she met in the Liberty City library.

Ingrit found that the visitor was a little surprised, and her pupils were trembling.

"You are..."

Ingrid was a little confused on the hospital bed.

"Not an intruder anyway."

This time he didn't pause time.

The abyss that preyed on Colin has disappeared, it's just a simple meeting of old friends again.

Ingrid's red hair had lost its previous luster and was extremely dim. Her sick face was full of haggard, and she tried to sit up from the bed.

"No."

"I'll leave soon."

…

after an hour.

"You can actually see the Statue of Liberty from here."

Violet exclaimed.

Only then did I realize that this was the former site of Liberty City, but the location was relatively peripheral, very far away from the city center. But looking across more than ten miles of land, and then across the Hudson River, I could still vaguely see the statue. Huge bronze sculpture.

The sky was filled with ash from the nuclear haze, and it was so cold that Violet shivered with the cold.

Her allies, the advance personnel, with the blessing of magic, discovered that there was a large shelter far away. The scale was beyond imagination. They had seen so many desolate places along the way, and it was an unprecedented grand event.

After the formation of the supercontinent, although it was quite a distance from the last base of the Countermeasures Bureau, it was still very close compared to other places.

No wonder Colin felt comfortable letting his companions stay here. It was extremely secluded, and there was also a large camp to attract the attention of looters, so it was considered very safe.

after awhile.

Colin finally came out of the shelter and returned to the surface, where he found an abandoned sanatorium that had been reduced to ruins by nuclear weapons.

"Damn it."

"Didn't you say it was very fast?"

"It actually took so long."

Because Violet wanted to retain the remaining power to use it to summon Hoshino Manatsu's position, and did not waste it on heating, rubbing her hands in the cold.

"terribly sorry."

"It's time to go."

Colin's fingers were dancing with red and green stock index lines. He no longer knew whether he controlled it or whether he was finally controlled by it.

"I discovered that there is a large shelter on the other side of the river, about two hours' drive away. Do you know that is where the Countermeasures Bureau is sheltering?"

Advance personnel guessed that it should be so.

Colin shook his head. He didn't expect that he had been very close to the Countermeasures Bureau's base before. After going around in a big circle, he returned to the very beginning.

"That bronze sculpture should be something very symbolic."

The advance personnel said so, but unfortunately it was very dilapidated, the appearance was a little charred, and half of the body collapsed. Only the hand holding the torch and half of the body were still standing, and it might collapse at any time.

"Maybe."

Colin no longer cares about these problems. He must solve the source before he dies. He doesn't know what the winning rate is. Even if it is 1%, it is enough.

"You are different from before."

Violet glanced at Colin and said in surprise, is this the real power?

"What's the difference?"

Colin didn't notice.

"Do you still remember Di Biao's mutual aid group?"

"You were there at the time, pretending to be a member who wanted to join the club, and listening to the middle-aged man's oral gymnastics."

"After I killed him, you lay on the ground and pretended to be dead."

"It just feels like..."

"You are no longer obsessed with the things you have been obsessed with since we parted ways in the casino."

"It turns you into a monster."

"Perhaps in a sense, your latent abyss syndrome has been eliminated."

"In an unexpected way."

Violet recalled that when she first met Colin, he was far from that.

Colin was speechless. Maybe the spiritual abyss has been eliminated, but as long as it is not resolved, it will be the largest and strongest abyss.

All in vain.

"Where is Hoshino Manatsu?"

"Can you tell where it is through the spell you cast on her?"

Colin asked, everything that should be settled has been settled, only the final showdown with SCT is left.

The people at the top of the combat catalog are still there.

Uncertain future.

Even after getting rid of those madmen who are deliberately trying to engulf the world, there are still enemies.

SCT Summit.

One chief and two vice-chairmen, all represented by agents, their true selves, the people behind them.

No.

That's not human at all.

The top command of the Countermeasures Bureau is a cruel lie that euthanizes the world.

And the most terrifying and bizarre crazy thing is by no means false, it is real and cruel, swallowing up everything every moment.

Colin shook his hand.

Red and green lines are jumping on it.

"Crown..."

He seemed to hear the whispers of these lines, the product of the convergence of the infinitely distant past and the infinitely distant future.

Violet closed her eyes, carefully felt the position of Hoshino Manatsu, and entered a state of fugue. Following the connection between them, she visualized extremely distant places.

…

On an ocean-going transport ship.

The waves are rolling.

The cargo hold, which was full of poultry specimens, was extremely scarlet.

"You take him back to Turin."

"Put it with the scholars."

The first person in the combat catalog wiped his hands, said to Arnold, and then put on white gloves, as if it was just a painless thing and not even a warm-up activity.

He seemed to have discovered something, an idea that extended far away from here.

Then he looked straight into the void.

…

Violet vomited a mouthful of blood.

"What do you see?"

the advance guard asked.

"I found it……"

"The location of Hoshino Manatsu."

"There is still one……"

"A man in an officer's uniform."

Violet wiped away the blood and cheered up.

"Let's go."
