Lucio opened the door of the warehouse, and a strong smell of blood came to his face.The pool of blood almost extended to his feet, he paused for a moment and then walked towards the inside, he stopped after a few steps.Someone closed the warehouse door behind him.

"Lucifer, it's time for you to give an answer."

It does not appear to have been detected.

Beelzebub stared at him condescendingly, and directly below him stood a cage in the corner of the first floor.A small, scarred arm protruded from the gap in the fence.That's Sandalphin.He was lying face down in the cage, apparently unconscious.Lucio looked up: "If your tactic is to take hostages, tearing up the ticket in advance is not a good thing. Is he still alive?"

"There are a lot of hostages in Canaan. If one is used up, the next one can be taken at any time. But if you continue to procrastinate, he should die."

"That's really bothering."

Lucio dragged a cargo box from the side and sat down on it in a leisurely manner.His leisurely manner sent out a signal, and Beelzebub withdrew it slightly with a somewhat arrogant smile: "Do you still think you have hidden cards that can suppress me? Lucifer, you'd better recognize that you are just It’s just a beast that was lifted high, if the net of death is broken, you must be the one who loses.”

"The fish is dead and the net is broken? Why is the fish dead and the net broken? Professor Beelzebub, I am here to communicate and negotiate with you. There is no need for any fish to die and the net to be broken."

"You want to delay? Yes, anyway, the longer you delay, the greater your loss. I want to hear what you have to say."

Lucio supported his chin with his hand, the new arm was still a little inflexible and aching.The spare parts that were attached in an emergency are still a bit unaccustomed.But it's enough to just fool the opponent.He took out the documents from the briefcase he was carrying and threw them on the blood-free ground.

"Professor Beelzebub." He said slowly, "That's not necessarily the case. In fact, I'm here to inform you today. As a strengthened person in Canaan, I have no right or need to intervene in matters within human society. .But your actions happened in Canaan's territory after all, which bothers me a little."

"..." Beelzebub signaled the people around him to pick up the document, and the other party nodded and came down from the second floor.Lucio continued to explain slowly when he came down: "Let's not talk politely. If you want to activate Avatar, it is impossible to dominate the world through absolute power. Although your plan is not bad. Use The dominance of human beings over enhanced people has put Canaan into a state of unilateral attrition, and whether I agree or not is beneficial to you, it’s just a matter of time—a qualified strategy, but it’s far from brilliant.”

The document was handed over to Beelzebub, and Beelzebub took it over and opened it. After a few seconds, he seemed to realize something, and stood up abruptly.And Lucio laughed silently: "Did you see it?"

"You guy... did you use this guy as a bait on purpose?! Things are still hindering my plan—! Just a few beasts!"

Lucio let out a long sigh in his heart.

"So having said that, it's not a beast. I didn't ask you to capture and harm him, Beelzebub. The cage over there is completely human. And your actions have already constituted a serious crime. "

This was the countermeasure he and Lucifer discussed last night.Put Sandalphon's human identity back on the table.Fortunately, in order to keep secret, Eden has collected relevant information before the transformation of Sandalphin, and it is no problem to use it to prove Sandalphin's human identity.He and Lucifer only need to talk to each other, on the premise of having ironclad evidence.This matter is no longer Beelzebub punishing the strengthened person, but that he harmed human beings.However, this plan was thought out in a hurry after all, and Lucio was not sure that the other party would be deflated because of it—if the external forces that can check and balance Beelzebub no longer exist, then even if Sandalphine is a human being, he will definitely kill him .

This can only be said to be a means of delaying time.As long as Beelzebub's forces can be separated from the hostages, Lucifer can immediately command the reinforcements to forcibly suppress them.Taking advantage of the wavering of Beelzebub's initiative, Lucio quickly tried to expand his advantage: "Isn't it surprising? The hostages captured are not beasts. I guess you must want to say that Sandalphine is not human at all, but give up. The information that can prove his human identity is backed up not only here, but also in Eden and other places. Your crimes can be made public in a few seconds. And Canaan will not ignore the crimes that happened in the research institute, In other words, we've got a reason to use violence against you."

"Ha, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!" Beelzebub stared at him for a few seconds and started laughing: "Sure enough, there is a reason for that lunatic Lucifer to think so highly of you, Lucifer Er. It is indeed a little surprising to me, I guess you have already ambushed the enhanced people outside, right? But, when it comes to crimes, aren’t you the same!"

Beelzebub threw the document at him, and Lucio raised his hand to take it, but he didn't read it.He knew its contents by heart.And he didn't resist Beelzebub, just like a huge black beast, he rushed towards him, grabbed his neck and threw him directly to the wall.After the muffled bang, he sucked in a bit of pain, and Beelzebub's voice sounded like a roar: "Just pretend that the human identity you gave that kid is really effective, then You are using human beings as experiments. If I am going to be questioned, you will all be executed—" "The treatment of San Defen and the transformation of him are Lucifer's personal actions, and have nothing to do with Canaan."

"Then kill you? I've been waiting for too long. As long as I get this power, what else do I have to worry about? Just kill you and read your memory--as for other enhanced people, then Come and kill one by one. I have this strength now!"

Is it really going to the end of the fish?But it's almost time.

Lucio glanced at the narrow skylight of the warehouse, the sky was already quite bright.Based on Lucifer's efficiency, it should have already taken effect, right?Sure enough, shortly after their stalemate, they heard a muffled muffled sound, and then the whole room shook.

"Why..." Beelzebub was surprised by the vibration, he raised his head and stared at the shaking roof.Several other subordinates also whispered anxiously, but Lucio just smiled: "You can kill them all, but by that time, the avatar has probably sunk to the bottom of the sea."

The hand pinching his neck suddenly strengthened, and Beelzebub asked coldly, "What did you do?"

"Did you know that there is a device at the bottom of Canaan Island that blows up the research institute? The switch was originally in Lucifer's hands, and it was used by him to deal with the enhanced human rebellion that would happen. After Lucifer's death, this thing was It was handed over to Lucifer. If we deal with it properly, we can make a precise hole for Canaan, right? It’s enough for the Avatar to go straight into the water, how long can the Avatar maintain its functions at a depth of several thousand meters?"

Seeing Lucio's smiling face, Beelzebub finally realized that something was wrong. After staring at Lucio for a few seconds, he suddenly said sharply: "Shahar!? When did you appear in Canaan?! You should die In Eden—" "Did your spies report this to you? That's great, so you're going to strangle me and add some irreparable elements to your crime? I'm dead and Xiaosheng is dead It's not the same thing, huh?"

There was an unusual sense of dislocation between Lucio's expression and his already ferocious tone.Beelzebub clicked his tongue obviously, and then rushed out of the door towards the place where the noise came from.And those subordinates who were left by him panicked for a while, Lucio touched his neck and exhaled, his eyes became sharper - but before he drew his weapon, he heard a muffled bang , Lucifer smashed open the windows of the warehouse as well as the surrounding walls, then lightly fell into the warehouse, smoothly and without any hesitation, he knocked out the nearest person with a punch, and the rest of the Before the people reacted, they were all overturned.

"Sorry, I'm late. The evacuation is in progress, and the researchers of Eden have been given priority to board and leave. Where's Beelzebub?" Lucifer asked while attacking, and Lucio replied: "I just rushed to the east. It’s time to find Avatar. Let’s go too. I’ve already contacted Gu Lan, and he said that he can bring five ships that can be kept secret, which is enough for everyone to leave.”

"No, you take San Defen first. I want to stay and deal with Beelzebub. We didn't blow up the facilities of the research institute. Even if we evacuate, we can't bury him on the island, so I will finish it." Lucy While talking, Phil approached the cage. Lucio helped him find the key on the person next to him, and then leaned over to unlock it.Lucifer looked around vigilantly, listening to the rustling sound of unlocking the lock behind him and Lucio's inquiry: "Little saint, are you still conscious, little saint? Little saint?"

Soon, however, the unlocking sound stopped.Lucifer was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to ask why Lucio stopped, but he saw Lucio's new clothes grasping Sandalph's wrist, with a rare look of bewilderment and astonishment on his face.

They were silent for a few seconds.Lucio immediately changed his hand and grabbed Sandalph's wrist again.What does it mean?Lucifer realized something instantly.He gave up his vigilance and rushed to the edge of the cage, grabbed the key and quickly opened the cage door, and then hugged Sandalphin from inside——Sandalon's cold body was glowing with a bad bluish-white color, but he was covered with Blood.It may just be excessive blood loss and serious injuries. It is not so easy for strengthened people to die.Lucifer quickly wiped off the blood on his face, and then put his hand on Sandalph's neck: "Sandalphin?"

A dead silence.

Lucifer's eyes slowly widened.Lucio quickly took out the first aid tool from his body: "...Maybe there is still life! Just now Beelzebub said he was alive. His structure is not so easy to die! Put him down!" Lucifer didn't After a moment of hesitation, he immediately leveled Sandalphin and began to try to give him CPR, while Lucio took off his coat and tied Sandalphin's broken left arm.Although no blood gushed from the wound, he still managed to stop the bleeding.

However, after 10 minutes, Sandalphin still did not respond.

What happened, even reluctantly, they all understood.

Lucio looked away in silence, while Lucifer slowly bent down and hugged Sandalph again.He stared at Sandalphin who lost his life as if he was watching some incomprehensible phenomenon, opened his mouth but couldn't say anything, after a long time he was able to shake his arms lightly, unbelievable with a gentle voice shouted: "Sundaphin...?"

The boy's head shook feebly following his movements.

"Wake up, Sandalphin..."

Lucio frowned, and wanted to press Lucifer's shoulder, but he stretched out his hand and still did nothing. After a few seconds of silence, he stood up: "I'll go outside to check the situation, there may be someone else I'll stay in the house." He clasped his hands and fingers as he spoke, made a gesture of silent prayer, and then left the warehouse.But Lucifer, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly hugged San Defen and stood up as if in a trance: "I see... I'll go to the hospital first. Don't worry, the equipment is still there, and I have it too." For related knowledge, I will join you with Sandalphin soon..." He carried Sandalphine and walked out, but just as he shook, the broken left arm of Sandalphine that had just been tied was completely overwhelmed fell down.

After a muffled clack, Lucifer stopped as if the pause button had been pressed.Lucio looked at him worriedly, watching his unfocused eyes gradually get steamed.

"why……?"

He hugged Sandalphin tightly in his arms, and sobbed and repeated in a changed voice: "Why...? Why..."

The shaking of Canaan Island still hasn't stopped.The aftermath of an explosion of this magnitude would likely spread to the smaller half of the island, at least certainly to where they were located.But Lucio was not in a hurry to pull them away.He just watched the trembling horizon in the distance, watching several buildings slowly collapse due to the explosion.The once quiet and peaceful Canaan Research Institute eventually turned into ruins, and the people on the photos in his collection left one by one.

After an unknown amount of time, Lucifer came out with his head lowered and Sandalphin in his arms.Sandalphin was wearing his coat, the blood on his face had been wiped clean as much as possible, and he looked as if he had fallen asleep normally.Lucio asked in a low voice: "Let's go?" But Lucifer carefully handed Sandalphin over.

"Please help me take Sandalph to the boat." His voice sounded slightly hoarse.Lucio frowned: "What are your plans?"

"Same as I said just now." Lucifer's expression was completely different from just now, he looked as if he had been pulled away from something, his calmness was almost scary: "Go to finish."

He turned his back and said, "The planned number of escapees is 73 including the detainees. When the number of people on board reaches 73, even if there are other survivors, there is no need to wait, just leave. I'm sorry for the follow-up negotiations... ...I have to leave it to you again. I... If I can still make it, I will assist you. But I suggest... you take the situation without me as a presupposition..."

"... Lucifer, I don't suggest that you commit suicide now—"

"it is my responsibility."

Lucifer drew out the long knife at his waist.

————————————————————————————

"Haha, Fasan, it seems to have started."

Belial pushed the last person he brought into the abyss, and then communicated with Lucifer with a casual smile.Lucifer didn't look very happy: "Avatar's accumulation of nutrients is too slow. It has not yet been able to control all parts of Avatar. It is just the consciousness of thousands of people. When will it be collected? Lil?"

"That's the incompetence of that uncle Babsang. Who knew he was so useless even for sabotage? Obviously, Fasan made him so strong—"

"It is your job to incite others and resonate with their emotions. Sophistry is useless to me."

Belial was refuted on the spot, without any embarrassment, instead he smiled and stuck to Lucifer's side: "Sorry, sorry, but I will find a way, Farsan. I got Sally back, he is quite obedient Soldier ants? The rest...if I work a little harder, I guess I can basically complete all the controls, right?"

"Just relying on your consciousness to control multiple cores? It's almost suicidal for you." Lucifer gave him a cold look, and pushed him away from him in disgust.But Belial was just pushed by him and switched sides to stick together with him: "It's okay, Fasan, look."

He pointed to the opposite side of the abyss, and there were two white, blurred figures indistinctly.Lucifer stared at it for a moment, then said without interest: "Is that useless? Throw him down quickly."

"Well, don't worry, Fasan, I was really inspired by Sandy, huh? Look carefully, Sandy is surrounded by the Lucifer he imagined, just relying on that kind of thing, he kept his consciousness from melting. .”

Lucifer stared at the illusory Lucifer.And Belial continued: "If it's about love, I won't lose to Sandy, Farsan. As long as I think about you, it's fine for me to split into dozens or hundreds. Even that is not a bad play." Ah, you can serve Fasan well, isn't it great?"

"Since you are boasting, I will consider this as a backup plan. Even if you break down, I will not show mercy."

"Haha! It's really exciting! OK——I will work hard, and then I will be rewarded a lot, Fasan."

The phantom of Sandalphin gradually disappeared from their sight, and Beryl hugged Lucifer from behind: "But before that, Fasan, I have completed the task well. Even if Babsang is a rotten Waste, as long as he starts to act, he can start to incite unrest and despair. Look, isn't the nourishment brought in from the outside?"

Lucifer raised his head, and the scene materialized by Belial showed a terrifying appearance.Countless people fell slowly from the sky, and then just fell into the abyss, swallowed and torn apart by invisible beasts.Lucifer clicked his tongue: "Bad taste."

"Huh? This is more intuitive, right? If Fasan doesn't like it, I can also set the scene to drop snacks or candies from the sky?"

Every person left represents a death.However, there is still a gap between this scene and Lucifer's imagination. He thought that there would be higher casualties. If it was raining, it must be a heavy rain.But this level of surprise is unavoidable, and planning always allows for errors.Thinking of this, he waved Beryl's hand away and walked into the abyss.Belial let out a hey sound behind him: "Fazan, are you ready to attack now?"

"Enough is enough. You get on with your work."

Lucifer slowly melted into the abyss, and everything around him began to twist and change.Belial looked at the scene of shaking the earth as if appreciating a drama: "It's awesome... Only you, Fasan, can give me this kind of scene."

Avatar opened his eyes.

Control of the brain, no problem.Torso control, no problem.The arm is missing, it was taken by Lucifer, but it's okay.The control of the legs is not yet complete.Lucifer soon realized that he, the Avatar, sank in the sea for some reason.

Without control of the legs, it is slightly difficult to swim back.He waited quietly.However, soon he felt a new consciousness squeezed into the spiritual ocean, and the angry Beelzebub was forcibly taking over the control of his legs: "Hey! Lucifer! Lucifer and Shahar practiced to sink Avatar into the sea , let this thing move quickly! Otherwise, the plan will fail!"

"Ah, Babsang, why did you come in? Don't you have no interest in the spiritual world?" Beryl blocked the negotiation for him.

"That's all there is to do now! Come on! Swim up!"

Hmph, barely usable.As expected of death once, this guy's spirit has also become tenacious.The legs began to work, and the avatar rose to the surface of the sea.Beelzebub was visibly relieved.And Lucifer felt all this quietly, listening to the conversation between Belial and Beelzebub.Belial grinned: "I didn't expect it to be so troublesome? You didn't get rid of Lucifer? Babusang?"

"Shut up. It was clearly discussed before that it was an internal and external response, but in the end, the two of you let the avatar lie there motionless as if you were dead. Is this your hard work?"

"Haha, don't be so serious. There are also conditions for starting the Avatar. If you don't send nourishment, and don't take Lucifer's key to start it, it's really difficult for us."

"Then how do you start it now?"

hostility.

After a few seconds of silence.Beelzebub asked: "Where is Lucifer? In the brain of Avatar?"

"Who knows? Farsan may have just gone for a walk?"

"Don't try to hide."

He was trying to find Lucifer's consciousness, but obviously, his search range was too small.Belial snickered.Beelzebub made an annoyed voice after he couldn't find it: "Are you planning to cooperate?"

"Aren't we collaborating? Collaborating to destroy the world."

"I can do this by myself."

The hostility intensified.

"It seems useless to ask you... Now that Avatar has been activated."

Beryl said exaggeratedly: "Oh? Babusang, could it be that you finally couldn't bear it anymore?"

At the moment when the hostility finally intensified into killing intent, Lucifer's tolerance for this boring farce had also reached its peak.The moment Beelzebub's erosion hit Belial he moved.The entire spiritual sea was under his control, as if a giant had grabbed Beelzebub and stuffed him into his mouth instantly.

"Ha, hahahahaha——Babsang, Fasang is always around you! Can't even understand this kind of thing?"

Beelzebub had obviously realized it, but it was too late.

It is almost impossible for him to resist such a severe erosion, so his last anger turned into a roar: "Lucifer——!!!!" Then he was torn apart, assimilated, and completely turned into a spirit part of the ocean.Beryl clapped his hands: "This is really a big meal, Babsang, thank you for your cooperation~"

Avatar is fully activated.The mutilated monster floats on the surface of the sea and is searching for land.Under the bright sunlight, the ice on its body also began to gradually melt, and it will probably recover its full mobility after a while, but before that, basic movement is still possible.Lucifer tried to get the avatar to move forward, then stopped when he stepped onto the port.

The avatar's pupils without pupils met a figure standing on the ruins of the port.

Holding up the knife, Lucifer blocked his way with a blank expression.
