Chapter 207 Shirley Wakes Up

"Something's wrong!"

"Did you notice it too?"

Fingel and Mai Shutoku exchanged a look.

Their current location is extremely close to the mine, which is the predicted matrix hub of Silent Hill. According to the law, the density of evil spirits should be increasing and their intensity should be getting higher and higher. Both of them are ready to make a difficult move. They can go all out at any time. After all, facing the great evil spirit that is likely to appear, the two of them really have no room to stay.

However, the development of events was exactly the opposite.

Since three minutes ago, they have felt that the density of evil spirits has dropped significantly.

And the closer you get to the mine, the fewer the evil spirits are.

Even the great evil spirit that is supposed to exist is missing.

Instead of feeling relaxed, Fingel felt worried.

Although he has never heard of the phrase "when things go wrong, there must be monsters" based on his Chinese proficiency, he must have heard similar meanings. The closer you are to the matrix hub, the more evil spirits there will be. This is irrefutable. The truth, so in the current situation, there must be something wrong.

Finally, the two arrived at the mine.

They split up to investigate, and when they met again, they both shook their heads.

They all know that the hub of the sealing matrix is ​​a person, so after searching around, they have not seen even an ordinary evil spirit, let alone a person. The word "strange" has been clearly written on it. face.

"Is it him?"

the kunoichi asked.

"Your boss."

"If the Super Saiyan hadn't penetrated the display screen and come to the third dimension, it would have been the boss."

Fingel shook his head.

"It looks like he has almost wiped out all the evil spirits here. It's really an exaggeration."

"Sorry, I don't mean to offend, I'm just curious."

Mai Shutoku looked around the empty mine and subconsciously lowered her voice when she spoke. It was not because she was afraid of attracting danger. There were originally a large number of evil spirits, but now not even one of them was visible. How could there be any danger at all? Then it is easy to understand why the female ninja lowered her voice.

It is to show respect to the person who caused all this, to show respect to the strong, even if he is no longer here.

"Is your boss really a human being?"

Fingel:…

Probably realizing the ambiguity of her words, Mai Shutoku quickly changed her words,

"I mean, are you sure he's not some, um, Dragon King or something."

"If it had been anyone else, I might have been suspicious."

"But boss."

Fingel shrugged.

"Can you imagine a Dragon King that has something to do with martial arts?"

"Turtle style qigong?"

"No, no, no, it's martial arts, martial arts."

Fingel shook his finger seriously.

"If you dare to mention any turtle qigong in front of the boss, be careful that he punches you and sends you to see Lord Pluto."

"That's it."

The corners of the mouth under the female ninja's mask were slightly raised.

"That's not necessarily the case."

Fingel didn't seem to hear the female ninja's soliloquy. He just held his chin and fell into deep thought. The alchemy matrix is ​​a very rigorous technology. There are strict requirements for symbols to refer to materials and outlines, at least in the hands of hybrids. Alchemy is like this, dragons already belong to the category of miracles and there is no need to comment.

Closer to home, the alchemical matrix used for sealing, especially the super-standard power of the army of bronze and fire, is completely the pinnacle of knowledge in alchemy mastered by hybrids, almost as good as the refining of the legendary Philosopher's Stone. Comparing it with the law, you must know that it is a secret weapon that is said to be able to annihilate souls. It is the only weapon in the hands of hybrids that can kill pure-blood dragons. With a comparable level, one can imagine the power of this sealing matrix.

According to common sense, this legendary matrix hub should have its own special requirements, at least it cannot be moved casually.

That's why Fingel lost his temper when he saw Little Bad Luck in the small town.

At that time, he realized that there must be something wrong with the sealing matrix.

But the current situation is that someone took away the little misfortune that acted as the hub, and the alchemy matrix used for sealing was safe and sound. This makes no sense. How can the matrix still operate normally when the hub is gone? It's like a four-wheel drive with the battery removed. Being able to use lightning charge is no longer a problem that can be explained by the integration of man and car. Unless the four-wheel drive world undergoes a technological upgrade, breaks through the technological barriers and puts unlimited charging technology into civilian use, the air will be stable and usable everywhere. of electrical energy.

Having said that, this does not mean that the power source can be abandoned casually. It just puts the built-in power source outside and replaces the bloated battery with the ubiquitous electromagnetic field in the air.

Wait, replace?

Fingel's expression changed.

He suddenly remembered the problem that had puzzled him before.

Why do pure-blooded dragons know that even with the power of the Great Evil Spirit, there is no way to completely destroy the sealing hub.

In other words, why will the little unlucky guy not die no matter what?

Have hybrids really mastered the technology of immortality?

He didn't believe it.

Then there must be some other reason.

For example, Little Bad Luck is not Shirley.

He was originally surprised that the information Angers gave him clearly recorded that the girl back then was named Shirley, so why was she now so unlucky?

Perhaps, the crux should be here.

"Hello!"

"Hey!"

"What are you looking at!"

When Fingel came back to his senses, he found that the female ninja had her hands crossed in front of her chest, assuming a defensive posture gifted to Japanese girls, and staring at him with evil eyes.

What's going on here?

There was something strange about Fingel.

He raised his head and was about to share his findings when he suddenly realized that the position where his gaze seemed to be focused just now was a little awkward...

There was no dry cough or blush. Just kidding, how could Uncle Fingel react like these innocent little boys? Just look at it. What’s the matter? Uncle Fingel is so frank and upright!

"I'm sorry I was wrong!"

Fingel lowered his head calmly.

There is no way to put such a big sword on the neck, and everyone has to admit their mistake, okay?

"Say goodbye to your eyeballs now, pervert!"

The female ninja was murderous.

"Compared to this."

Fingel said seriously.

"Boss, things over there are much more important, so we can't waste time here."

"oh?"

"This side of the mine is just a star position. The real hub is at the moon. The seal matrix of Silent Hill is essentially a star-moon chain. The hub at the moon is the real key. This side of the mine is just an illusion, used to attract evil spirits. and the illusion of a great evil spirit.”

Although it sounds a bit difficult to understand what the stars and the moon are and what the chain type is.

But Shutoku Mai still put down the knife, thoughtfully.

"So the real hub you're talking about is..."

Fingel looked in a certain direction and let out a breath.

He should have thought of it earlier.

But I was able to analyze the matrix fur because I had a considerable degree of alchemy knowledge.

How did the S-level discover the key to the matrix from the very beginning and accurately determine the positions of the moon and stars?

Yes, from the very beginning.

"Let's go."

Fingal said.

"We must get there quickly before the boss does something exaggerated like that."

"Where to go?"

"Hospital."

…………

"This is the place you're looking for."

Lu Mingfei stood in front of the ward with Little Bad Luck in his arms.

During the day, she once broke into the hospital in a small town, seemingly looking for something. The process was full of twists and turns, and she was almost stopped by the hospital's security guards, and was rescued by a Kassel senior from Japan.

It's a pity that even if the little unlucky little one managed to enter the hospital and ran to the second floor, he still came down with nothing in the end.

There seemed to be no target for her upstairs.

It's no wonder, after all, the person Little Lucky is looking for is in Silent Hill, the hospital in this world.

Little Bad Luck didn't say a word. She huddled tightly in Lu Mingfei's arms like a stray kitten that got wet in the rain.

But the girl's eyes were fixed on the door, as if there was something inside that she cared about very much.

Lu Mingfei raised his fingers, knocked on the door, said "Sorry to disturb you", and pushed the door open.

What you see is familiar furnishings.

There are white walls, blue curtains, and a hospital bed by the window, with a sleeping girl on the bed.

This is the only place in Silent Hill without thick fog.

Bright, fairy-tale colors also mark the difference here.

Like a child's most unforgettable dream when he was a child.

look familiar? Of course Lu Mingfei would find it familiar.

All this is exactly like the ward in the principal's sketch.

The painting of the legendary dragon slayer confessing to the girl on the hospital bed.

The little one in his arms twisted twice, and Lu Mingfei put the girl down. He watched the little one wrapped in a dirty cloak walk to the hospital bed. The almost identical faces in the two chapters were so close, but they were just one. In deep sleep, one is awake.

The little misfortune stretched out his hand towards the sleeping girl.

Lu Mingfei felt something in his heart. He knew what would happen next. The existence of Little Bad Luck was just a means for the girl to protect herself. It was a way for him to deceive the evil spirits and monsters. Once Little Bad Luck chose to wake up the girl, she herself The existence will also disappear.

This is something that can't be helped, it's not death or life. After all, from the beginning, Little Bad Luck can't be considered a complete person.

The little unfortunate hand is about to touch the sleeping girl's forehead, and once it does, she will disappear.

It was at that last moment that her movements stopped.

The little boy stood there blankly for a while.

Lu Mingfei suddenly became curious, wondering what she would be thinking now.

Things happened quickly.

Little Fortune turned around, opened his arms, spread his legs, and jumped on Lu Mingfei super fast.

She's so strong.

Lu Mingfei took two steps back in cooperation, sat down on the ground, laughed softly, and patted the child on the back.

Little Bad Luck buried his head on Lu Mingfei's shoulder.

Lu Mingfei's smiling face showed a surprised look.

He heard it.

I heard those crisp words.

It seemed...that was the only thing the little hapless person said.

She said.

"Thanks."

Little Bad Luck took two steps back and bowed deeply to Lu Mingfei.

This time she pointed at the sleeping girl's eyebrows without any delay.

The child in the dirty cloak just scattered into countless light spots.

No.

Those are stars falling from the sky.

Lu Mingfei stretched out his hand, and several light spots rotated around him, like dancing fireflies.

"goodbye."

The young man smiled softly.

The light spot surrendered up and down, as if the little misfortune was nodding towards him.

All the light spots disappeared into the sleeping girl's eyebrows.

So Shirley woke up.

She blinked.

Shirley lay quietly on the bed, tears streaming down her face silently. She turned her head and looked at Lu Mingfei beside the bed.

"sorry."

…………

The road to the hospital was still the same. There were no evil spirits or dangers. It was like a Tyrannosaurus rex had passed by here, so all the animals fled far away.

This also proved the correctness of Fingel's guess.

The S-class passed by here before, and the evil spirits died at his hands.

In other words, the real hub of the matrix is ​​in the hospital.

The two of them just hurried on, talking about speed again and again. Finally, Mai Shutoku couldn't help being curious and asked him.

"You keep talking about being worried. Speaking of which, what is your boss going to do?"

"Remember what I said about the boss? A hopeless idealist."

"The boss said that he can't listen to others crying."

"Shirley, who has been carrying the responsibility of the hub until now, has endured the pain of countless deaths. Maybe she was willing to use herself as a seal back then, but after half a century, no one knows what she is thinking now."

"To be honest, I'm almost certain that Shirley will ask the boss for help."

"In fact, she was already doing this. Little Bad Luck was asking for help, and the boss discovered this."

"So, as long as she opens her mouth, the boss will probably choose to give her a relief."

Fingal said.

"At the cost of destroying the sealing matrix."

"destroy!"

the kunoichi exclaimed.

"That doesn't mean..."

"Yes, an army of bronze and fire."

Fingel shook his head.

"Hopefully we can make it."

…………

"Old man, can you still sleep after all these years?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely die behind you."

Angers was courteous.

"You know what I'm talking about."

Henkel played with his alchemical revolver.

"That Shirley is just a child."

Angers narrowed his eyes.

"It seems that the parliament's intelligence capabilities are not simple."

"Just average."

Henkel bowed modestly.

"What about you, can you sleep?"

"certainly."

Angers didn't hesitate.

"My personal doctor keeps praising the quality of my sleep."

"I see."

Henkel looked at him with interest.

"You were confessing to that girl in your dream, right, old man."

"To be honest, I really didn't expect that you would actually choose to seal it. When I first got the news, I thought you would just go up and fight those dragons."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Angers looked at the town where the fog was billowing.

"My folding knife has already been broken once. It must be kept to face its real opponent."

Henkel smiled.

The two were silent for a while.

"It must be painful."

"fine."

Angers took off the rose from his chest.

"Slaying dragons is not a game. If a warrior's heart is not hard enough, he should go back to teaching as soon as possible."

"But you chose your students this time."

Henkel said.

"That S-class."

"Why, do you believe in him so much because you think your students can definitely make better choices than you?"

"wrong."

"oh?"

Angers corrected him sternly.

"Lu Mingfei, he is not my student."

"But I do believe him."

"I believe that no matter what choice he makes, he will be stronger than an incompetent guy like me."
