The heavy iron doors opened one by one in front of Lorenzo. After telling Red Falcon that something was wrong, he moved forward to the front of the train, where Shrike was.
Lorenzo's intuition had been warning him. Although this kind of thing was very mysterious, it was certain that Lorenzo had successfully escaped death countless times by relying on it.
He kept his hand on the hilt of his sword, alert to every soldier around him.
Based on the experience of being in the Demon Hunting Cult, when it comes to missions against demons, the Cult usually seeks elite forces and wants to end the battle with the least number of demon hunters. Once the situation deteriorates, too many people will only lead to a higher risk of them being corrupted, and then their former teammates will turn against them and become enemies.
This would be a heavy blow on any level.
"Shrike! Got it, please reply!"
Lorenzo jumped onto the roof of the car in the gap between the two carriages, where he could observe more.
"Lorenzo? What's wrong?"
The sound of the Shrike in the channel was mixed with the noisy sound of electricity and could barely be distinguished.
"Something is wrong, the demon is still near us!"
Endless strong winds rushed in front of him. Lorenzo stood on the top of the carriage. Everything in his sight was deep darkness. Except for the light at the front, there was no other light.
Someone once said that the world is an unknown ocean, and human beings live on an isolated island above this ocean. All humans can do is to survive in it. If they step into that mad sea, only destruction awaits them.
"The Geiger counter is not responding..."
"That thing is unreliable."
Lorenzo interrupted Shrike directly.
"You should be aware of several characteristics of demons, right? For example, when they descend, the 'light' will disappear briefly. And it's not just the light we understand, but also the sunlight, lights, starlight, etc. will all disappear!"
He ran wildly along the roof of the car, and his footsteps made a heavy iron sound on the steel.
"What about your Geiger counter? How far can it detect? What if those demons are outside its detection range?"
Shrike, who was still preparing his weapons in the carriage, paused when he heard Lorenzo's words.
Yeah, what's the range of a Geiger counter? If the demon is out of range...
"What's wrong with you, Shrike?"
Blue Jade on the side noticed the abnormality of the Shrike and had some doubts.
But Shrike didn't want to answer Blue Emerald's question for the time being. He raised his hand to signal Blue Emerald to be quiet, and then asked.
"Did you find any signs?"
"Of course, don't you think this night is too long?"
Facing the endless gale, Lorenzo looked towards the east, which was the direction where the sun rose, but it was still pitch black.
He has a good memory. As a demon hunter, he has experienced more specializations than the Purge Agency knows. To this day, Mrs. Van Lude's map is still imprinted in his mind.
"What time is it now!"
Lorenzo asked.
"Three o'clock in the morning."
Listening to the reply from the communicator, Lorenzo was silent for a moment. He put away the pocket watch in his hand. The pointer on the watch now showed four o'clock in the morning.
"Shrike, you are sure the time is correct, right?"
