The Exorcist Boy: The Book of Conviction

Chapter 170 Someone is Waiting for "Excellent"

Soon, the black door was opened.

Instead, a hall nearly ten meters high appeared in front of Snow.

Inside was a ruined and disfigured scientific research room, with broken glass and culture fluid everywhere, and many various bottles and jars poured around.

There is also a mess of mechanical equipment that has been lifted...

However, the experimental body did not escape from the experimental area. Although there was a problem here, the internal protection measures were still in place.

Snow also caught a glimpse of the figure sitting on the central platform.

"You mad scientists..."

Snow lowered his eyelids, paused, and then sneered.

"It's too much! If the jihad is won, please apologize with death."

"That's really great, hurry up and let us see the day of apologizing."

Renee didn't care about Snow's curse, and shrugged indifferently.

If the experiment is really successful and helps mankind win the Holy War, then what if it sends her entire family to hell?
The figure sitting on the high platform stared frantically at Snow who walked in with red eyes.

This is Alma, the third main body of the exorcist imprisoned under the North American branch.

It was nothing more than what Snow would have said before, because Alma's appearance was really terrifying, with stitches all over her body, as if she had been dismembered.

He kept murmuring malicious words of unknown meaning, and his eyes turned blood red due to bloodshot.

His face was full of madness and cruelty, and endless tyrannical aura emanated from his body.

"There's another guy that looks really miserable. Did you cut it up and put it back together again to study it?"

People are still alive after being made into such a state, how strong is this vitality!

"...he was indeed cut, but not by us."

Renee's hesitant answer came from behind.

"what?"

"You've seen that person before, forget it... Let Alma calm down first, don't look at his current appearance, but his body spirit is still in a deep sleep.

The reason why he can act is only because of the instinct of the body. "

Hatred was driving Alma's instinct, and the strong hatred urged him to destroy everything around him, especially his body, which instinctively rejected everything related to the Black Order.

When Snow appeared at the main entrance, Alma moved. There seemed to be pale bones behind him that could proliferate continuously, spreading out crazily.

Two huge arms formed, and then swept towards Snow at an extremely fast speed.

"This breath..."

Snow frowned, he actually felt the smell of holiness, the predecessor of this experimental subject of the Black Order, could it be...

I hope it's better not to be like this, maybe Alma is just a loser because of forced adaptation to "Holy".

"[Holy]—Activate."

The white cross fell from the sky, firmly nailing Almazo's skeleton to the ground, and formed a layer of frost around it, ensuring that this guy could be completely controlled.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

After receiving an unknown roar from the attacking Alma, his body suddenly doubled in size.

Although the two thick animal arm bones were nailed to the ground, more irregular bones spread out from his body.

On the back...on the shoulders...on the arms...even on the head...

As if it could proliferate infinitely, the bones growing from the flesh were faintly about to fill up the hall.

Under this appearance, Alma also lost her human form and turned into a monster with irregular shapes all over her body. Even the surface of his skin was still proliferating with flesh and blood.

The aura on Alma's body is very chaotic, there are human beings, demonic ones, and even [holy] ones...

Perhaps it was because of this that the sealing formula on him could be cracked so easily.

The crow troop's technique is most effective against humans, but the thing named Alma is obviously not only in this category,

"Three bombs - rain and thunder."

Facing a monster without subjective consciousness and relying on instinct, Snow was still able to firmly suppress him.

It's just that it is a little difficult to achieve the purpose of the Black Order.

After First Holy was revived, his skills also changed a lot. The power has not been weakened, but there are more functionalities to choose from.

The azure blue magic circle covered the ceiling of the entire experimental hall, but this time what fell from above was not the rain of light used to exterminate demons, but white flames filled with extremely cold air.

The white flames falling from the sky completely covered the entire hall, naturally including Alma who was going mad below.

The white flame stained on Alma's body, together with the entire hall, almost froze into an ice sculpture.

"Two bombs - fixed-point blasting."

The white [Devil-Slaying Holy Flame] was aimed at the joints of the bones on Alma's body, and in the interior under the ice, one could see that Snow was making marks one after another on the opponent's limbs.

Snow was doing small-scale destruction with the precision of a scalpel. With the sound of ice cracking, Alma's sprawling bones, limbs, and broken ice were all blown off and fell down.

Control it first, and then use a small blast to blow up the extra parts of him, exposing the humanoid body, and then use the spell to seal the violent Alma.

Snow is not only an exorcist, he is also a magician who is also proficient in other combat systems. Whether it is magic or the runes of [Crow Troop], he has a certain grasp.

As long as Alma reveals his body, then Snow is certain to use other magic techniques he has mastered to forcibly suppress the other party and let him return to sleep.

That's why Rubelier insisted on Snow's action on the side of the Black Order. He repeatedly emphasized that Alma must not be eliminated.

Can only be sealed again.

[Crow Squad] can do this, but right now the North American branch can't find qualified personnel.

Coupled with the need for secrecy, Snow became the person who still met the standard in the eyes of the other party.

But things didn't go as smoothly as he thought. After destroying the opponent's hypertrophic bones, a large number of white bones sprang out at a faster speed and in greater numbers.

"This guy has such a strong vitality and a very fast recovery speed."

Seeing the already mutilated body being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye, Snow couldn't help but be surprised.

The speed of regeneration and repair of limbs has almost caught up with the speed of Snow's destruction. Is this guy really human?

"Snow, this is impossible, Alma has been asleep for nine years, only instinct is left, unless you can completely quiet his turbulent soul.

Otherwise, his out-of-control flesh will not stop. "

Renee reminded her loudly at the back that they had thought about waking Alma before, but after being chopped into pieces by someone that time, although the other party recovered physically, the spirit would never wake up.

It is precisely because of this that some people in the Black Order restarted the third exorcist plan under the pretext of using waste.

After all, one of the two second exorcists who qualified back then was so precious that even the flesh made the Black Order reluctant to give up easily.

Therefore, during the continuous experiment process, the other party's physical strengthening and recovery function, which originally belonged to the second exorcist, became even worse.

Various continuous experiments have made this body completely different from human beings.

(If only you were dead at all.)
Sometimes Renee can't help but have such thoughts.

Originally, everything was going well in the process of using the demon substance to combine with Alma's body, but I don't know why the other party seemed to be awakened by something suddenly, which led to such a thing.

But as one of the founders of the second exorcist project, Renee also spent some time with them.

She clearly knew how terrifying recovery ability Alma, one of the second exorcists, had.

Small damages like Snow's were like mosquitoes eating meat, and it didn't hurt Alma at all.

"You really made a troublesome thing."

Snow said dissatisfiedly that Alma was about to shatter all the ice frozen on his body.

If it was possible, Snow could use a three-shot or more large-scale attack, and with a single mushroom egg, he could probably easily destroy it.

Or use [Hellfire] to burn it completely.

But Ruberia would not allow it. Even if Karma had fallen into a rampage, he didn't think it was a tendency for the experiment to fail.

He insisted that the other party still had a chance to be saved, and demanded that Alma's integrity be guaranteed no matter what.

"It's the first time I've seen Rubelier care so much about someone."

Snow said dissatisfiedly that he really hoped to free the monster in front of him, but unfortunately the higher authorities did not allow it.

"Three bombs—the forest of execution."

The third bullet that was triggered again caused countless crosses to fall from the sky, and once again nailed Alma, who had turned into a monster, to the ground.

Only this time, the activated cross is no longer white.

In Snow's empty hand, another black [Devil Slayer Holy Flame] had already been raised.

The ability he activated this time was triggered based on [Hellfire], and it had the effect of directly targeting the soul.

From the beginning, Snow planned to directly suppress the enemy's soul.

In [Eye of Soul Exploration], the soul of the experimental subject named Alma has long been chaotic, without a complete shape, nor an independent color.

It's like a pile of messy dyes, piled up together to form a colorful mud.

I don't know how many buffs the Black Order has superimposed on this guy.

This time, Snow's attack worked.

Alma, who was wrapped in the bones, let out a shrill scream.

His soul was trembling constantly, the black flames were constantly washing, and the colored mud that had been separated from the soul form continued to affect Alma's body.

"Clean it up!"

Although I don't know what the consequences will be after the other party's soul is completely purified, but what is certain is that any object without a soul will be quiet in the end.

As for whether Alma can still "live", it doesn't matter about Snow.

I didn't beat him to death, and I made him quiet. As for where this guy's soul went, what does it have to do with me?
(Thanks to me, it finally set you free.)
Snow sighed softly in his heart, there is only so much he can do now.

Under the corrosion of the black flames, Alma's soul form gradually became clear, and the mud covering the outside gradually receded, slowly revealing his original form.

"It's really an exorcist...and...the black sect, you guys did a good job!"

After seeing Alma's soul clearly, Snow almost uttered these words through gritted teeth, and at the same time, this strengthened his decision to purify the soul in front of him.

Although he had expected it when he sensed the [Holy] power, but when the truth was in front of him, Snow still felt a little unbelievable.

The black sect is actually using exorcists as experiments.

The soul named Alma...is the image of an exorcist, and the silver-white rose cross on the chest of the black uniform is clearly visible.

And the most terrible thing is that this soul is actually a woman.

But now Alma's body is actually a male.

Soul transfer experiment.

Such a word suddenly popped up in Snow's mind. In fact, he had seen some related things in some documents of Utopia.

After 72 hours of human death, the soul will completely dissipate.

But if during this period, the activity of key organs, such as the brain or the heart, is guaranteed and transplanted into the new embryonic body, then superficial soul transfer can be achieved.

That is, the most incomplete resurrection operation.

However, the success rate of this kind of operation is very low. Even if the transplanted body finally wakes up, there is a probability of more than [-]% that it will gradually collapse in the days to come.

From the appearance of hallucinations to the final separation of soul and body, this kind of brutal behavior will lead to tragic consequences.

But Snow didn't expect that he actually saw something similar in the Black Order.

This guy named Alma has a huge difference in soul and appearance, and is obviously a heterogeneous species produced by the second transfer.

And according to the church's information, the experimental subject named Alma has been asleep for more than nine years, which proves that he is very likely to be the lucky one under the soul transfer experiment.

It's just that the experiment probably went wrong in the end, which led to Alma's failure. In the end, she was locked up here and her body was used elsewhere.

The person in front of him might have been an exorcist who died on the battlefield, Snow generally made such a judgment.

For a period of time, the exorcist troops of the Black Order suffered heavy casualties, and the number dropped to single digits at one point, so it's not surprising that some guys took such measures.

Looking at the woman with beautiful blond hair who was covering her face and crying continuously, Snow began to strengthen his left hand.

"For the sake of being an exorcist, you should get rid of it quickly."

"Snow~ what are you doing?"

Renee finally noticed something strange. The black flame gave her a very ominous feeling. Although Alma gradually became quieter, she just felt that something was wrong.

"I'm telling him to be quiet."

Snow replied blankly, in his sight, the black flame was about to stain the woman's body.

Slowly, the hellfire will spread to her whole body, and then she will be wiped out, and will no longer be forced to stay in this world in this painful appearance.

"Really? You have to remember not to break it completely..."

"I see... (The body is intact for you, and I will send away the soul first.)
Snow could already see the woman's face clearly. She was very delicate, but her face was full of tears, and she seemed to be calling for something constantly.

"The soul... is still awake to a certain extent. The perseverance is really tenacious. Maybe there is something she can't let go of at this time."

But soon, I will set you free.

Snow intensified his strength again, staring at the woman's face, and then kept her in his mind. At least there is one person in this world who can remember such an exorcist.

"What do you want to say?"

Snow watched the other party's mouth constantly open and close, frowned and judged what the other party said according to her mouth shape.

Suddenly, Snow widened his eyes, and then revealed an unconcealable look of horror.

What the woman said was...

"You~~~I will always... wait for you!!!"

　Does Kanda's previous life and the woman he's been waiting for have a name?

　　Damn, I looked through the entire second season and didn't see it.
