Chapter 123 Chapter 123
…
…
Hermann didn't know how long he slept.
He opened his eyes drowsily and found himself still lying in the lobby of the welfare home.
The surroundings were in ruins after a great battle.
He held his head and sat up.
As I stood up, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head.
He groaned in unbearable pain and slowly recalled what had happened before.
Oh yes, before that, he had a big fight with Li Zhou.
Then……
They both fought and were injured, and he was seriously injured and fell into a coma.
While he was unconscious, he seemed to have had a very long dream.
At this point he could no longer remember what he had dreamed about.
I can only vaguely remember that before I woke up, I seemed to have vaguely seen Xia Meng.
She took the brick and hit him on the back of the neck.
It’s just… the brick clearly hit the back of his neck, so why does the back of his head hurt so much?
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Rather than this, what he should be thinking about at this moment is what exactly happened?
Why are Li Zhou and Xia Meng here?
Did they... discover something?
There is a laboratory hidden behind this welfare home.
On the surface, it is a renowned top medical laboratory, specializing in solving difficult problems in the field of sentinel medicine;
In reality, it was researching psychotropic drugs and guide agents that could drive a Sentinel insane.
It is the magic weapon in his hand that has caused countless sentinels to fall and surrender.
Thinking of this, he struggled to get up from the ground and walked towards the laboratory step by step.
Pushing open the hidden and heavy laboratory door, Hermann stopped outside the door and looked at the dark corridor without a trace of light.
A familiar smell hits me.
That was... the smell of a spreading strange disease.
The moment he noticed something was wrong, Hermann quickly stepped back, fearing that he would be implicated again.
It seems that the entire laboratory was wiped out.
The phone vibrated slightly.
He looked down and found that hundreds of messages had accumulated on his phone.
All the messages were sent by his subordinates, and some were sent by Lorenzo.
He suppressed his serious expression and made a phone call back.
[Herman? Where are you now? Why haven't I contacted you all day?!]
Lorenzo's familiar questioning voice came from the other end of the phone.
Hermann uttered a soft "Huh".
A day and a night have passed.
He was in a coma for a day and a night in this welfare home.
But Lorenzo didn't even send anyone to investigate, as if he was afraid of being implicated.
Hermann chuckled softly.
He didn't answer Lorenzo's repeated questions and just hung up the phone.
Then he called Lance again.
The phone went busy after a few beeps.
Lance couldn't be contacted, nor could Emil.
Something happened over there too?
He lowered his eyes and opened his phone's inbox.
Countless messages popped up.
Various intelligence reports were received from spies stationed in China.
The Beijing Tower issued a Level 1 combat alert half an hour ago, calling on all sentry guides in China to report to the Black Tower and hand in all guide preparations and pills, even the small white pills currently circulating on the black market.
They have even disclosed the true situation of the Guide element through various media channels.
The discovery that civilian guide substances actually contained psychotropic substances had already detonated all Chinese information media the moment this matter was announced.
Hermann raised his eyebrows in slight surprise.
It seems that Xia Meng, Li Zhou and others have discovered the secret of the laboratory.
However, choosing to make it public at the first opportunity is not a wise decision.
Ordinary people have limited access to information.
Without knowing the full story, rashly disclosing the fact that the guide element contains poison will inevitably cause panic among the people.
Once public sentiment gets out of control, everything will get out of control.
Hermann smiled slowly.
They know.
Knowing his secret arrangements over the years.
The little white tablet was just a preliminary attempt, the guide element was his real goal.
But what if I knew?
The guiding element contained in his blood has spread all over the world, embedded in the mind and body of every sentinel.
No matter what they did, it was of no avail.
"Okay..." Herman murmured softly, and the arm holding the phone dropped down. He casually clenched his five fingers, and the whole phone was crushed into powder in an instant.
He walked out step by step.
This world is so sinful.
His mother had an affair with another man and gave birth to him.
The father who raised him treated him as a lackey who could be called upon at will.
The guide he grew up with and who should have been his was now in the arms of someone else.
As for the others...they always looked at him with eyes filled with contemptuous awe and resentful fear.
It’s better to destroy them all.
He closed his eyes and hummed softly.
As he stepped out of the welfare home, his mental power bloomed into black flames behind him.
Black flames flew from behind him to all parts of the world.
The next moment, the first scream was heard not far away.
Diagonally across from the welfare home, a low-level sentry passing by suddenly held his head in his hands in pain. He bent down, screamed in pain, and reached out to strangle his neck.
A little further away, a burst of fire suddenly erupted into the sky. Amidst the screams and cries, someone shouted, "Oh no! A sentry has gone berserk!!"
The same scene is happening all over the world right now.
Countless sentinels, like time bombs that had been detonated, simultaneously released the enormous energy hidden in their bodies.
Herman's mind pictured every struggling face at that moment.
He saw Li Zhou suddenly open a pair of red eyes, and sharp nails suddenly grew on the ten fingers of his hands, and a layer of golden hair emerged on the back of his hands.
Then he suddenly roared and in the blink of an eye knocked the guide not far in front of him to the ground.
In a frenzied state, he gripped Xia Meng's slender neck with just one hand.
Xia Meng struggled and yelled, "Li Zhou!! What are you doing?? Cough cough cough—let me go!!"
She gathered her mental strength in her hands, grabbed Li Zhou's arm, and tried to resist the restraining force on her neck.
However, it was of no avail. The next second, Li Zhou lightly bent his fingers and heard a crisp "click" sound.
Xia Meng stared with her eyes wide open, her head bent down at an abnormal angle.
The moment Xia Meng died, Li Zhou suddenly spurted out a large mouthful of blood.
Combined with the guide's death, the sentry is doomed to die.
Even if it was just a spiritual connection, it was enough to cause a near-fatal backlash to the Sentinel.
Not long after, Li Zhou also fell down.
He fell beside Xia Meng's body.
Both of them maintained expressions of disbelief until their death.
I couldn't believe I would die so easily.
Like two ants crushed by fate.
Hermann smiled happily.
The killing continues.
Sirens began to sound across London.
Countless pedestrians on the street screamed and fled, and police cars whizzed past with sirens blaring.
Hermann walked as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, with his eyes closed and humming a song.
At this moment, the whole world turned into an abyss.
Everyone will turn into monsters from the abyss.
Same as him.
He walked to the front of the Dreiser Castle.
At this time, the castle gate was wide open.
The people in the castle tried to escape, but could only fall in vain at the door.
Turned into a blur of flesh and blood.
Hermann slowly climbed the stairs.
Up the hall stairs, down the thickly carpeted corridor, I reached the door of Lorenzo's study.
With a "squeak" sound.
The door was gently pushed open.
Hermann looked up and saw Lorenzo, who still maintained a last bit of consciousness, looking at him with fear behind the desk.
"Are you...are you crazy? What do you want to do?"
The expression on Lorenzo's face was one of panic and fear.
At this moment, he looked like the dog crawling and struggling at his feet.
Herman smiled happily: "You know what? I've been looking forward to this day all my life."
Countless black hands grew out of the ground, grabbing Lorenzo's eyes, grabbing his neck, grabbing his limbs and body.
Pulled him into the abyss.
Hermann stood at the window, looking out expressionlessly.
As far as the eye can see, the black tower standing on the outskirts of London is now emitting thick black smoke.
The headquarters building slowly collapsed in thick smoke.
I hummed the song "Majestic" until the end.
Hermann took a deep breath.
He could feel that all the sentinels in the world were dead.
The whole world fell silent.
It was so quiet that there was not even a sound of wind.
After a long time, Herman slowly opened his eyes.
The world before my eyes is only emptiness.
Is this the moment he has been looking forward to for so many years?
So boring.
If I had known earlier, I should have spared Xia Meng's life.
At least she would prolong his pleasure a lot longer.
But it's too late to think about these things now.
Herman indifferently withdrew his gaze, without even looking at the hideous and twisted body behind the desk, and turned to walk out.
At this moment, the minute hand of the wall clock in the study slowly pointed upwards.
The moment he returned to his position, bells rang out all over the city.
The moment Hermann felt the bell rang, his whole body seemed to be restrained by an invisible force.
He lowered his eyes in astonishment and looked at his limbs.
what happened?
Why can't he move?
Is this Lorenzo's backup plan?!
The body becomes heavier and heavier.
Until one moment, his body fell uncontrollably.
But the pain and feeling of hitting the ground did not come as expected.
Herman watched his body fall heavily to the ground, and his spirit seemed to be separated from his body at the moment of fall.
Consciousness rose from the other side of the floor.
Thousands of shards of glass flew past him.
Countless everyday scenes were repeated before his eyes.
Black Tower Headquarters.
Castle of Dreiser.
Mission site.
Orphanage classroom.
Time was rapidly going backwards before his eyes.
Until one moment, he saw himself staring at the ceiling from a strange perspective.
Someone carried him into the arms of another.
It was a woman's embrace.
The blonde woman was wearing a hospital gown, but her face was full of joy.
There were voices around her congratulating her.
"Madam, did you see it? It's a very handsome young master."
"Congratulations, Mr. Lorenzo."
The next second, the younger version of Lorenzo appeared in sight.
His face was filled with joy at having a son. He cautiously approached, looked at his son, and then kissed his wife's forehead lovingly: "Thank you, dear."
Hermann's eyes gradually widened.
What's this?
…
…
Zhou Qi asked: "What's a more direct way?"
Xia Meng smiled and said, "Sand table game."
Xia Meng: "Old Wang, do you still remember what the meeting we attended on the day we were kidnapped and brought to the Black Tower was about?"
On the other end of the phone, Wang Xiangyi said, "...I remember it was a collaborative project between the Jingwei Center and the Ministry of Public Security. It's a compulsory psychological intervention method specifically for people with antisocial personality disorder—"
Then he followed with a laugh.
"I see."
