Chapter 654 Doomsday Storm: Dark Knight

The red light of the floating car stopped after a sudden screech of brakes. The faint red light at its end was filled with the fog at night. After the door was pushed out and slid upward, silver boots stepped on the red In the light, the black trousers were swaying in the night wind.

Vito got out of the car. He straightened his windbreaker and looked at the tall building in front of him. It towered into the sky, and its dark body reached into the sky like a tower of Babel.

The hazy light flickers in a very distant place, as if a huge whale is swimming on the other side of the sea of ​​clouds, or a ship sailing on the dark sea is looking at the hazy lighthouse light in the dark night, looking for the shore. direction.

"Master." Eva stood up from the driver's seat, swinging her folding knife and nerve venom pistol under her arm. Vito turned around and raised his hand to signal to her. The latter stopped, and the two faced each other. After watching for a moment, she nodded, sat on the roof of the floating car at the back, and looked up at the sea of ​​clouds above, with lights twinkling in its depths.

Vito also glanced there, smiled and straightened his clothes, then walked up the stairs and walked in from the door of the majestic building that was unexpectedly small compared to the main body.

Vito walked between the scaffoldings. There were many scaffoldings standing in the hall, with paint buckets placed on them. There were also many plaster sculptures packed in boxes and placed around them. More statues and murals were still on the walls. Above, high up, the tops of the scaffolding stood silently.

There was deathly silence in the vast hall. The dim lights of the city at night came in from outside the door, reflecting a dim golden light on the huge sky eagle on the ground. Vito walked over from the wings of the sky eagle and walked along the Its winged silhouette moved forward toward the elevator at the end of the hall.

When he came to the elevator, Vito clicked the button on the side and the elevator door opened with a clang. He walked in, turned around and pressed the button inside. The elevator gate closed and then rose up.

Vito stood in the elevator, music echoed from the speakers above his head. Classical music echoed in the box. It was long and elegant. It was music he would like, deep and dim. "Colaz should also like it." "The two of them have unexpectedly similar tastes."

The elevator's floor indicators lighted up one by one as the pointer turned. Finally, the pointer stopped on the top number, the largest number, 50. After a jingle, the elevator door opened, and a warm light shone through the crack in the door. The light was emitted, and as the door opened wider and wider, the coverage area became wider and wider.

Vito walked out with his hands behind his back. His footsteps were walking in the light. The orange light pulled out two moving shadows on his legs. As he walked, the jingling sounds were mixed with the surrounding surroundings. wind.

The top floor of the building was also under maintenance. The surrounding old antique windows were removed one by one, and the door on the marble balcony was also removed. As a result, the cold wind from high altitude poured directly in, roaring wantonly in the house, and there were raindrops. It hit the ground near the window, followed by a bolt of lightning across the sky, and a figure was printed on the ground.

It was the shadow of a Gundam. The thing on his shoulders printed a pair of small wings in the lightning. His face and the black hair were also illuminated by the lightning, but he remained unmoved. Sitting on the edge of the ground, leaning against the edge of a cliff, with rolling clouds below.

"You still like such a high place, can you fly?" Vito walked up behind him and asked. He put his hands in his pockets to fix the coat on his body so that it would fly at a smaller angle, but it It was still flying wildly in the strong wind, pulling out a dark shadow behind him.

Also flying are the hair of the man sitting on the ground. His hair is darker than this night. His deep eyes overlook the city below. Thousands of lights are imprinted on his eyes, flickering dimly and profoundly, " I like heights, where you can see a lot of things clearly. When you are on the ground, the night deceives your eyes, but when you are higher than it, you can deceive it.”

"Does this place make you homesick? The place where you grew up was always dark, a terrible place.", "Awful? This word can be used as a compliment there.", "Then what do you suggest I should do? How to describe it?", "There is no word, at least not in human language, and I guess there are other languages, but you can look at me, I am the word that best describes that place."

Vito glanced at him, shrugged with his hands clasped in his hands, and took a step forward to stand on the edge of the cliff. "You can see a lot of things here, including the Hera Fortress, the Star Port, the entire city, and the past. The first time I saw you was in Macragge, it was also here."

That's why Vito was able to find him so quickly. He must be here. This guy doesn't like strangers. He prefers to stay in familiar places, familiar darkness, familiar corners, familiar places, like here.

"Yeah, the last time we met here, you wanted to kill me." He said with a smile, pressing his clawed hands to the ground. Vito shrugged, standing next to him and facing the rainy night, "You You also wanted to kill me, and you almost succeeded, but still just a little bit short."

Vito gestured with his hands, and he laughed, his voice deep and gloomy, "What a pity, you were too, and Ryan was there at the time. You should have let him kill me right then."

"Sanguinius asked us to take you back instead of killing you. I am an obedient person.", "Obeyable?" Curze's words contained a hint of mockery. Vito smiled and shrugged, "Okay. Well, it depends, but I listened, so you survived, and Ryan also listened, which is really rare, he usually only listens to that guy. "

"He is one of the most obedient sons among us, and unlike the others, he should have been quite disappointed when he created us, and ended up like that."

Coz shrugged, and Vito smiled, turning to look at the lightning passing deep in the rainstorm, "Each of you is his masterpiece, the masterpiece he is most proud of, although the word masterpiece is not nice. ”

"But it's the most suitable, isn't it? He has given each of us a talent. People always say that we have inherited a side of him. Some brothers have inherited his bright and great side, as well as his kindness and kindness, but there is always a need. Someone will inherit the darkness." Curze smiled bitterly, dragging his chin.

"Sometimes I wonder if he forgot to peel off some impurities." Cozzi rubbed his head with a wry smile. Vito looked at him in silence for a moment, "Can you still see those prophecies?" "Yes, those prophecies that I don't even know what they mean, there are countless fragments, but they are all destruction and darkness."

"I really didn't inherit anything good from him, right?" Coz raised his head and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, looking towards him. Vito shook his head and reached out to touch his head, "He, she created I didn’t think much about you at the beginning. He actually doesn’t understand you, and you may not understand yourselves either.”

"Then do you understand?" Cozzi said with a wry smile, while Vito smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "I'm pretty good at judging people, otherwise I wouldn't have lived so long. He also believes that you are not what you seem, Saint. Gilles, as you said, the night can deceive people's eyes, only if you stand high enough can you see through it."

Vito turned his head and looked towards the dark night. The rainstorm was roaring in the sky, flying down one after another, "What did you see?"

Coze looked over and frowned slightly, "Deceit, unwillingness, suspicion and conspiracy, they are brewing, like seeds taking root and sprouting in the ground.", "Yes, Coze, you know that you and Sanguinius What's the biggest difference between him and me?" "He is warm and reassuring, while I keep people away, like a monster in the night?"

"You know how to deal with the monsters of the night." Vito touched his head. There was a big difference in height between the two of them. Vito's hand was almost straight to touch, but he touched it. And caressing a trapped beast in the arena, removing its chains, untying it, and throwing down the iron cage, "If you want to fight against the darkness, you must first become the darkness. Ryan is a knight, and so are you, a knight of darkness." "

"But you, a knight, are not meant to be sung by poetry. Telling your stories will scare the children to tears." Vito laughed jokingly, and Coz also laughed, "You are saying nice things. Why do I feel like you are scolding me?"

"Just stating the facts. You are a terrible person, but it is precisely because of this that you are the Dark Knight. What you inherited from him is not only the darkness, but also his decisiveness."

Vito said with a smile, lifting up his windbreaker, revealing the explosive arrows and phoenix sword underneath, "You are the arbiter. The arbiter does not appear only to be liked, but to cut off all unrealistic illusions." , extinguish the flame of hopeless hope.”

"Okay, enough talking. You've stayed here long enough. Get up and come with me. Your days of water skiing are over." After Vito said that, he turned around and walked towards the elevator. Coz looked at Looking at his back, he turned his head and looked down at the vast city below. The lights were flickering below the sea of ​​clouds, and darkness swallowed everything above the clouds, except here.

Hera Fortress, the home of the Ultramarines, and Guilliman were all below. They were beneath the darkness, and above the tower, Curze stood up slowly, his long hair flying behind him like a cloak.

"Are you okay? Come in here quickly, I'm freezing to death here." Vito's voice sounded from behind. Coz smiled and turned around and walked towards the darkness, the only sound coming from the elevator. In the light.

"Master, it seems that you have brought a friend back." Eva said while sitting on the roof of the car looking at the entrance of the tower. Vito walked down from there with a smile, spread his arms, and then shook off his windbreaker. The tall black shadow followed behind him, and the rain sprinkled on the bat on his chest.

Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the black bats in the night. Eva looked at him and frowned slightly, but before she could say anything, Vito walked up and opened the car door. He sat down in the passenger seat and then took the photo. Patting Eva's thigh, "Let's go, it's going to rain, get in the car, our work has just begun."

Eva nodded, looked at him and nodded slightly, then closed the mask. She slid into the car and started the engine. After the red light flashed a few times, the floating car slowly rose up, and the steering wheel The red light dimly illuminated Vito, Eva, and the people who climbed up behind them and sat on the roof of the car.

The float car sped away, throwing out its red taillights and escaping into the rainy night. The lights of Hera Fortress in the distance were still shining like a beacon in the darkness.

The float car was driving on the road, heavy rain rolled from the sky, and lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating its body and the face of Guilliman, who was standing on the balcony overlooking the city. He held up a wine glass and looked not far away. A magnificent star port on the ground.
