Chapter 348 Crusaders "Flesh and Blood"

An underground interrogation room at a forward base;

"."

The nun, who had put on her black training uniform, was sitting on a fixed metal chair with a frown on her face.

After taking off her original clothes, helmet and armor, she finally revealed her true face.

She has delicate facial features and black hair, but her skin is a little rough.

There is also a scar on the corner of the mouth that affects the appearance.

Various characteristics indicate that this nun is a veritable "Battle Sister".

Moreover, looking at her muscles and bones, she is not as strong as Astartes. Instead, she is only slightly taller than the average height of an ordinary person.

"A little".

The height of 1.9 meters cannot be said to be unique, but it is enough to attract attention.

But the nun's expression and eyes showed undisguised anger, indicating that she was very unhappy now.

At this moment, a full four hours had passed since the battle ended and she and the surviving human soldiers were forced to move to the frontline base of the "One Three" universe.

During this period, they were first quarantined, inspected, disinfected and cleaned.

Then they claimed to be technicians and said, "Please cooperate, otherwise we will use force, and you have to cooperate." They drew blood and extracted tissue samples.

Then, they enter a separate isolation room and wait for the technician's analysis report.

then.

The nun was personally escorted to the interrogation room by two "giants" who were wearing sophisticated armor that she had never seen before and were two meters tall.

But after the two "giants" sent her into the interrogation room, they left directly.

And here she was, waiting for a few more minutes.

But she has information about the "Empire" and even the survival of the human world, and needs to report it to the "Empire".

So the longer the nun was detained here, the more anxious and angry she became.

It's not like she didn't think about fighting. With her extraordinary physical strength, she took the opportunity to escape from the frontline base.

But she is no fool.

Not to mention Atlas, or the various technologies beyond cognition of the human empire, the two giants responsible for escorting her, the adult Dark Angels, are much stronger than the knights of their "empire".

She is just a nun who has been "blessed" and eaten the "flesh and blood of saints". How can she fight against a giant who is comparable to a knight?

So she had to stay calm and wait patiently.

Swish——!

Just as the nun's brows were getting tighter, the interrogation room gate opposite her finally opened to both sides.

Then, Chris, who was wearing a black uniform with an Empire button on his collar, walked into the interrogation room holding a tablet computer with a screen generated by hard light technology.

He sat opposite the nun.

Then place the tablet on the fixed table.

Chris did not use a professional smile to get close to the nun like other officials, but said bluntly:

"Hello, I am Major Chris Redfield, an officer of the Investigation Department of the Human Empire in the main universe. You can just call me Major.

I don’t know your name and your affiliation? "

Chris briefly introduced himself and asked, then the conversation changed:

"Please tell me everything you know. It will not do you or me any good to conceal or deceive.

And we also have more advanced biotechnology that can extract relevant memories directly from your brain.

It's just that we are all human beings and should help each other and jointly eliminate aliens or heretics that threaten humanity. That's why we did not use coercive means against you and your subordinates to obtain the information we want to know. "

"."

Chris's straight-to-the-point words made the nun swallow her original words.

What is the main universe?

And the human empire?

Investigations officer?

These are really too unfamiliar to nuns.

"Of course." At this time, Chris seemed to notice the nun's confusion, and then added:

"As long as you can answer our questions and let us understand the past of this world, I will also answer your questions for you, so how about being more frank and saving both of us from unnecessary trouble?

After all, you don’t want us to directly open your skull and extract memories from your brain, right? "

She could tell that even though Chris seemed threatening, he was actually telling the truth.

What's more, without the timely action of Zao Zao and others, she and her comrades would have been swallowed up by the demon army long ago, with almost no possibility of survival.

Immediately, the nun closed her eyes slightly and adjusted her breathing.

After she opened her eyes, she looked directly at Chris and said:

"I am a blessed nun of the Holy Roman Empire named Isabella de Cairoai."

Holy Roman Empire?

Hearing the other party's reply, Chris couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The Roman Empire had long been destroyed in the main universe, but the "One Three" space nuns in front of him were still subordinate to the "Holy Roman Empire", which somewhat surprised Chris.

However, Chris did not interrupt the other person's thoughts. He just nodded and let the nun named Isabella continue.

Seeing this, Isabella continued:

"I don't know about the Human Empire, but I know that without your help, how could my comrades and I sit here safe and sound.

In addition, the reason why we are besieged by demons is that we have detected that the army of hell has been gathering. Judging from its size and momentum, it seems that it is preparing to launch a full-scale war against the human world. "

hell?

Chris caught the key words from Isabella's words.

Although Chris is not an official of the Inquisition, his authority is enough to know the relevant information about psychic power, demons and subspace.

And "Hell".

It may be the description of the subspace by humans in the "One Three" universe.

It may also be the demon space unique to the "One Three" universe.

Next, Chris raised several key points for questioning.

For example, how the Holy Roman Empire was established, the human history of the "One Three" universe, and how hell appeared in the vision of "One Three" humans.

And Isabella also answered them one by one and briefly explained them to Chris.

Today in the "One Three" universe, corresponding to the main universe, is September 2, 1914.

Moreover, the historical development of the "One Three" universe before the Crusades was actually not much different from that of the main universe.

In 1096, the religious military action led by the church, namely the First Crusade, began to invade the East from Europe.

The purpose was to recapture Jerusalem, which they regarded as a holy city, from the hands of the "pagans".

The Crusades included many forces.

In 1099, the Crusaders successfully defeated the pagans and occupied the holy city of Jerusalem.

However, when the Crusaders successfully occupied Jerusalem, the knights found a very tempting treasure deep in the most sacred temple.

According to Isabella's description, the treasure was actually a demonic instrument from hell.

When the Crusaders obtained the demonic instrument, the knights who had sworn allegiance to God and the church had been bewitched and corrupted invisibly.

The knights began to "carnival" and "indulge" unscrupulously in the local area, persecuting the residents living in the holy city.

In a short moment, Jerusalem became a purgatory on earth, and this successfully attracted the attention of hell.

In other words, the knights' "unintentional" crazy actions successfully completed the sacrifice and loyalty to hell, and then completely degenerated Jerusalem into the dark abyss and "linked" with hell.

The door to hell and to reality was opened.

Countless demon creatures living in hell began to sweep across the human world.

Faced with supernatural creatures that were almost immortal and powerful, the Crusaders were like an immature chicken fighting against humans in their prime.

It was simply a fantasy to want to stop the demonic forces from invading the human world.

Then, the remaining Crusaders quickly withdrew from Jerusalem.

And the once holy city was completely transformed into an outpost for hell to attack reality.

1101.

In just three years, demon creatures and tens of millions of humans who actively or forcibly fell engulfed the coastal areas of the eastern Mediterranean.

Antioch, located in Turkey, regrouped human armies from different countries and forces and became the center of resistance to the forces of hell.

What a pity.

No matter how much humans gathered and how hard they fought, they still could not compete with demon creatures and fallen believers.

After all, the number of demons and heretics increased.

The human soldiers who died in battle would be transformed and resurrected by demons and become cannon fodder for the forces of hell.

The captured soldiers and the humans who didn't have time to evacuate will also become the loyal servants of Hell.

On the human side, the number of soldiers and population will only decrease.

The speed of reproduction, cultivation and training is far less than the spread of death, corruption and depravity.

"."

Hearing Isabella's description of the past thousands of years ago, Chris's face was extremely solemn.

Hell,

Devil,

Crusade,

Jerusalem

These words are not unfamiliar to him, but in the human history of the main universe, those are just the church's efforts to regain lost territory through the Crusade.

Its fundamental purpose is to consolidate and maintain religious interests.

At that time, European countries were in a stage of division and separatism. The demand for commodities and currency by Western European feudal lords continued to increase, and the church entered a period of upsurge in the 11th century, so the church indirectly became the only organized political force, and then launched an aggressive war against the East.

On the other hand, the original intention of the Crusade in the "One Three" universe may be similar to that of the main universe.

But after the Crusaders conquered Jerusalem, it became a war of true religious nature.

After all, the Crusaders of the main universe did not open the gates of hell, nor did they fight against demonic creatures and heretics.

Seeing Isabella fall into a brief silence, Chris asked back:

"According to your description, humans have no capital to resist the demon army, so logically, the earth should have long been reduced to a paradise of hell.

Then how did you survive until now?"

As Chris asked, if the humans of the "13" universe relied on cold weapons to fight against the forces from hell, they would become slaves of the devil in a few years.

But the "13" humans have survived for nearly a thousand years.

And through Isabella's explanation, combined with the images taken by the orbital drone, the scope of the invasion of the hell forces is limited to the Middle East, the Mediterranean coast and some North African regions.

Since hell and demons really exist in the "13" universe, Chris has reason to speculate whether heaven and God also exist.

And whether heaven and God have provided help to the "13" humans.

However, Chris did not ask directly.

He wanted Isabella to take the initiative to explain.

"Why"

At this moment, Isabella sighed softly and continued:

"Even though I am not a person of that era, I can still feel the despair. Fortunately, the church sent twelve paladins in heavy armor and descended on the battlefield, giving mankind a breather.

"

then.

Chris learned about the unique organization of the "one-three" universe of the Paladin from Isabella.

Legend has it that when twelve paladins descended on the battlefield, they were enveloped in a sacred halo.

"They" claimed to have eaten the flesh and blood of Jesus, and then used their powerful power to easily defeat demons and heretics.

The remaining Crusaders and human armies chose to obey the command of twelve Paladins who were extremely strong and some were as tall as five meters, and launched a head-on confrontation with the Hell Army in Syria.

Unfortunately, one of the Paladins died in battle against a demon from the third level of hell.

After that, the body of the paladin was transported back to the Christian Holy See in Europe.

However, after this battle, the Paladins and the human army successfully curbed the continued spread of hell's forces.

At the same time, under the guidance of the Paladins and the Church, "One Three" humans can also cultivate more super soldiers similar to knights through "cloning flesh" and "eating flesh" to fight against demons and heretics.

in the next few centuries.

"One Three" More saints appeared in mankind who were guided by God and heaven and performed various great achievements.

For example, the demon Beelzepp released the "Black Holy Grail" in the human world, causing viruses from hell to infect tens of millions or even billions of humans.

The rapid spread of the virus will not only make humanity bloated and corrupt, but will also bring the dead back to the world——

At this point, the Corpse War broke out in the mid-to-late 14th century of the "One Three" universe.

In the early 15th century, Joan of Arc led believers and human armies to the front line and successfully drove away the hell virus and corpse plague that were ravaging the world.

Although saints do not have as close to infinite life spans as paladins, their bodies are also properly preserved by the church.

Because after devout believers eat the flesh and blood of saints, they can also acquire abilities beyond ordinary humans, such as super strength and endurance, rapid wound healing, and even "semi-immortal" characteristics.

Hear this.

"Wait." Chris raised his hand to interrupt Isabella's explanation and asked again:

"Our technicians collected samples of your blood and tissue and detected some unexplained substances.

Combined with your performance on the battlefield, have you also eaten the flesh and blood of a paladin or a saint? "

Hearing this, Isabella nodded and admitted frankly:

"That's right."
