Chapter 1300 1272. Visceral Critical Attack
The white-robed clergy felt a sense of confusion and displeasure.
They have been waiting for a long time to conduct experiments on this Blood Saint approved by the Healing Church.
Conducting [blood therapy] on people who are already suffering from gray blood disease and injecting gray blood into a saint who can directly produce sacred blood are two completely different concepts.
The clergy of the research center have been submitting applications for a Blood Saint to cooperate with the research for a long time.
It was only recently that the church's top leaders sent this stupid woman here.
But who knew that this stupid woman had a good relationship with Maria. The clergy did not take action immediately, but waited until it was time for Maria to go out.
It is different from Adeline, who only has one identity as the 'Blood Saint'.
The Blood Saint is an identity that people outside the Healing Church will respect.
There are not many women who have the qualifications to become Blood Saints, but they are not few either.
The church is currently distracted by many things, so it has not been able to cultivate the Blood Saint on a large scale.
So the clergy don’t care about Adeline’s identity.
But Maria is different.
Not only is she a powerful hunter herself, she is also a student of [The First Hunter] Geman.
When she was sent to guard the research center, Archbishop Lawrence personally warned her in private that it was best not to let her know what was going on here.
And now that they finally had the opportunity, even if Maria came back later, they would only have to say, 'Adeline was transferred away.' If she still wants to look for it, she can look for it herself.
The white-robed clergy have asked many people to come over to watch the experimental process, wanting to record and study this precious experiment in as much detail as possible.
Use a whole blood saint! The sacred blood continuously produced nourishes the parasites from the corpse of the ancient god!
When he thought that he might gain more profound knowledge as a result, or even gain a vision closer to the ancient gods based on Byron Weiss's theory, he almost trembled with excitement.
But what is going on with these idiots?
I gave them the opportunity to participate in this great experiment, but they couldn't even do the most basic quiet?
While thinking, the white-robed clergymen were going to scold them first, and then push the gray blood into Adeline's veins.
As long as you type in, it will be equivalent to the beginning of the experiment. At that time, every detail on Adeline will be precious information that deserves the greatest attention.
He didn't want to miss anything.
But just as he was walking towards the door.
Silently, a blue dagger blade was inserted through the crack of the door, and as if there was no obstacle, it passed through the door bolt that was originally responsible for locking the door.
The steel mechanical structure seemed to have been scratched by a phantom, showing no reaction.
But then
"Bang!"
The door of the laboratory was kicked open! The bolt that was supposed to lock the door firmly had only a cut surface that was smooth enough to be used as a mirror.
White-robed clergymen can become managers of research centers, and they don't just do it for free.
He had already taken out his hunter's musket when he saw the [Demon Wolf's Fang] blade. When the door was kicked open, he simply shot him in the head!
This reaction ability cannot be said to be bad among the hunters in Yanan.
But what he faced was not an ordinary hunter.
“Whoosh~”
Maria's [Acceleration] is more elegant than Lan En's, and more in line with the Yharnam hunter's fighting style.
The movement when she moved in rapid bursts was like a breeze blowing by her.
Green smoke flashed, and Maria easily avoided the opponent's mercury bullet with an expressionless face.
Lan En, who was at the door, simply didn't go in and stood next to the door frame with his arms folded and leaning against the wall.
Seeing the female hunter rush in, the white-robed cleric felt guilty, and he also knew the opponent's level.
So he simply threw away the hunter's musket that had to be emptied and reloaded, and picked up the hunter's cane that he carried with him.
But this move is really stupid.
After all, he was just a researcher. He didn’t understand the consequences of attacking randomly in front of hunters, so Maria quickly ‘taught’ him.
“Bang!”
This time it was Maria’s hand, the musket with flashy and complicated carvings fired.
Precise and ruthless.
The mercury bullet suddenly penetrated the opponent's body at the critical moment of the opponent's attack.
The sudden external impact is like the [Combat Skill·Block] in the Fire World, or the final battle in [Ash Mingryu], which can be regarded as the collapse of the winner's posture.
The original movement pattern of the opponent's body is completely destroyed in an instant.
In terms of power alone, it is not great. Even if you just take a few seconds to breathe again and move your body, it will actually have no impact.
But the key lies in these few seconds.
After firing the shot, Maria kept walking, her long leather boots firmly hitting the floor.
At the same time, her right hand already showed a 'claw strike' look! "Pfft!"
This is the sound of flesh and blood being torn apart.
In an instant, the eyes of the white-robed cleric seemed to bulge out of their sockets!
A large amount of blood surged out of the body, staining the white robe red.
The leather gloves of the Yharnam hunters are very distinctive. The fingertips of the gloves are covered with iron. This design is for the action Maria is making right now - [visceral critical strike] !
Poke your hand into the opponent's body, not only for the single damage of the poke, but also for
"Ouch!"
Because of the pain, the white-robed clergy roared like a wild beast.
Two drops of the blood he spurted splashed on Maria's face. The sharp contrast between the bright red and the snow-white skin was huge.
Maria, on the other hand, remained expressionless.
Her hands grabbed the opponent's internal organs inside the other person's body, and then pulled hard!
There was a "crash"!
The hunter's palm violently expanded along the crack, just like the traditional Japanese cross seppuku!
A large amount of scratched internal organs flowed out together!
This whole process is the complete [visceral critical attack]!
The white-robed cleric fell on his back on the floor, and the blood that flowed out quickly became a big puddle.
The huge amount of blood loss is also the main reason why Yharnam hunters favor this technique.
The blood makes them feel comfortable.
Adeline, who was tied to the chair, screamed in fright.
But Maria, with a cold face, stepped forward, used the [fallen leaf] short knife to cut off all the restraints on her body, and dragged her out.
“Ms. Maria?” Adeline stared blankly at the body on the ground and Maria’s side face as she passed by, “You didn’t go to work. You killed someone! Ma Ms. Leah!”
“That’s what he deserves!” the blood noble whispered expressionlessly, without stopping. "Stop asking now, we're in a hurry!"
After going out, Maria turned around and saw Lan En waiting at the door.
"We have to take her with us! Here", the huntress looked at the clergy hiding in various rooms and on the stairs with dangerous and cold eyes, "I'm not worried."
Her tone was very strong, not a discussion attitude.
But Lan En had no intention of refusing.
“It’s really not a good place to stay here.” The witcher nodded, “When we get there, it should be safe enough for Adeline to stay in the carriage.”
"Then let's go." Maria couldn't help but said, dragging the still confused Blood Saint and walking out.
She no longer wanted to stay in this research center that pretended to treat patients but was actually conducting disease experiments.
Now she just wants to go to the small fishing village and find her teacher to find out.
——
Lan En lowered his head and sat in the carriage slightly bent over, looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside the glass window.
And Maria and Adeline were sitting opposite him.
This is an old but unique carriage.
The horses pulling the cart didn't seem to make any unnecessary noise other than panting. They simply didn't look like living creatures.
The exterior of the four-wheeled carriage is made of thick wood with some paint peeling off, and the interior is covered with luxurious and comfortable cotton padding.
This is the carriage that Maria was brought from her hometown, Cainhurst.
The people of Yannan say that the blood nobles have a nostalgic and extravagant style, which seems to be indeed accurate.
Maria just told Adeline what the research center was doing and what it planned to do with her.
Adeline found it hard to believe. In her words, ‘That is a research center opened by the Healing Church. Isn’t it used to save the world?’
Maria can understand this feeling. They all trust something and trust it wholeheartedly.
It’s just that Adeline trusted the Healing Church, and she trusted her teacher, and because of her teacher’s relationship with the Healing Church, she also trusted the Church.
However, these things will eventually have an explanation.
Either the Healing Church is lying, or...
Maria took a deep breath, and pushed down the three-cornered hat on her head, covering it with the shadow of the brim. Covered his eyes.
Small fishing village. What is that beast in the small fishing village that has gathered so many hunters to hunt?
Lan En shrank and looked out the window. His body shape and armor were even more in contrast to sitting next to normal people in this closed space.
Now, his and Simon's investigation directions have converged, and the small fishing village as the intersection is undoubtedly the key.
But he is a little worried, is Simon still alive now?
They separated in a hurry last time and did not leave any contact information with each other. Lan En originally thought that the guy had a [blue elixir] in his hand, a potion that could help with sneaking, and he would come over to exchange a few words no matter what.
But I don’t know if he was entangled in something, and he has been silent.
This even made Lan En worried. Is this guy dead?
After all, he had died in this nightmare so many times that he couldn't even remember.
Accidents, changes. If you are not careful, even a hunter will not survive.
The three people on the luxurious carriage each have their own thoughts.
But time moved forward objectively, and Cainhurst’s carriage finally reached its destination.
