The Radiance steam train was once again speeding up in the dark night, its golden lights releasing at the forefront, and the endless steam was puffing out, like a beast coming out of the white mist.

The carriage swayed slightly, and the girl looked at the dark world, not knowing what she was thinking.

As the commander of the operation, the shrike took control of the weapons at the front of the Blue Emerald after inspecting the weapons from Berhans.

The soldiers sat in the rest of the carriages, weapons in hand and ready for the next battle, while Lorenzo, because of his peculiarities, stayed with Eve, sat in an unmanned cargo compartment, opened the door, and let the wind rush in.

Opposite the two is Kestrel who, although he is said to be in charge of Lorenzo, should have no one in this car to stop him if the detective wants to do something.

"Originally, we decided to protect you, but when we think about it, you are the safest with us, and the weapons carried on this train can easily destroy a small city. ”

When confronted with Eve's inquiry, the kestrel replied like this.

Lorenzo didn't feel any tension at all, the whole person was slumped to the side, with a cigarette in his mouth, swallowing hard, the white smoke was blown away by the wind before it spread, and it seemed that he felt a little cold, Eve stood up and slowly closed the car door.

"Feeling...... It's heavy. ”

After a long pause, Eve suddenly said this, her head down, unable to see her expression clearly.

Kestrel didn't know what was going on, and he looked at the two of them completely clueless.

"You have to get used to the fact that when the casualties reach a certain level, it's just a line of numbers. ”

Lorenzo knew exactly what the girl was worried about, and Lorenzo had just burned hundreds of people a few minutes earlier...... Although they turned into demons.

"yes, but we can't survive without killing them. ”

Sitting next to Lorenzo, Eve realized the true cruelty at this time, helpless and cold, and made one choice after another.

"Don't you feel guilty?"

No matter how you describe it, it was an act of taking a life, and Eve didn't pay attention to it at first, but at this moment she felt a weight that she had never felt before.

"Why do you have to feel guilty about doing good deeds?"

Lorenzo replied as if he couldn't understand Eve.

"Huh?"

Eve was a little unacceptable for a while, doing good deeds, what was going on in the detective's mind.

The kestrel on the other side suddenly felt a little dramatic, I don't know whether to admire Lorenzo's clear thinking, or what, just now the atmosphere of young people's psychological pathos instantly turned into a crusade against Lorenzo's antisocial personality.

"Aren't we doing good, if we don't deal with these demons here, then they will spread and more people will be polluted. ”

Faced with Lorenzo's theory, Eve didn't know what to say for a while.

"You...... Don't you have a sense of good or evil?"

I know the reason why you are sad, so many people have died in obscurity, but this is just like nature, when disaster strikes, what we can do is not pray or repent, all I can do is to minimize the harm. ”

Lorenzo said casually that good and evil could not bind him, the only thing that bound him was absolute will, and the only purpose that had been carried out so far.

"Every day, countless cattle and sheep are brought to the table, in contrast, the relationship between demons and us is the same, the real world is not bound by good and evil, not the so-called black and white, even if it is described as a false gray, black and white are penetrated together, and cannot be separated. ”

Lorenzo looked at Eve, her face full of loss with sadness.

"Am I ...... The so-called some...... Weak?"

"On the contrary, you have a deep sense of empathy, and you feel sorry for the death of your kind, which is a very good quality, and it shows that you have not become a cruel adult like me. ”

Lorenzo laughed as he spoke, and the kestrel across from him had the same expression as him, a look at the good underspring.

Eve is very good, she has not been polluted by this world, she is still a kind child, unlike these two people, they have been made extremely cruel by the world, killing so many demons who were once human, these two guys will never think about it, cruel and cold.

"But Eve, you said you wanted to be like your father, right? ”

Eve couldn't help but feel refreshed when she heard what her father said, and she looked at Lorenzo, not knowing what the detective would say next.

As if an exhortation and a warning to life, Lorenzo said to the girl.

"The road to your destination is fragile, like an ice floe on an icy sea, the ladders that can carry you can only bear a small weight, and you will always leave something behind on the way to that destination, so that you can step on the fragile ice floe. ”

As if she understood something, Eve asked.

"What did you abandon?"

"Hmmm......"

Lorenzo pondered for a moment before replying.

"All, or nothing, just think about it, there will be more and more choices waiting for you. ”

Lorenzo stood up as he spoke, and the kestrel stood up at Lorenzo's rise, who was in charge of keeping an eye on Lorenzo.

"Do you still have that communicator? Give me one. ”

Lorenzo said as he raised his hand to ask for something.

The kestrel was not hidden, according to the meaning of the shrike, this thing was also intended to be sent to Lorenzo, and aside from the position, Lorenzo was also the chance of victory among them.

"Is this a device that can communicate regardless of distance?"

Receiving the small communicator, Lorenzo couldn't help but sigh at the power of technology, this thing is only used in a small range of military fields, and civilians don't even know that communication technology has reached this level.

"There is a certain range limit, but it is sufficient, the only drawback is that it is susceptible to signal interference. ”

"For example?"

"Demons, for example, have a certain amount of radiation of their own, and we rely on this to determine their location with a Geiger counter, but sometimes the radiation intensity is too large and affects communication. ”

Lorenzo nodded, then asked.

"Did you develop it yourself? I didn't have such a technique when I was in the Order, and I had to rely on my intuition to determine whether a demon existed or not. ”

"There's always a way to survive, isn't it? you can't give up fighting demons just because you don't have secret blood technology. ”

"So you've found a replacement, right?"

Lorenzo smiled slightly, but didn't ask any more, pushed open the iron door between the carriages, and stepped forward.

"Where are you going?"

Kestrel clenched the pistol at his waist as he spoke, and he began to regret that he was spying on Lorenzo alone, a madman who could set the train on fire with a wave of his hand.

"Go to the shrike. ”

Lorenzo said and looked back at the kestrels, his eyes became solemn, and he didn't know when he had drawn his sword, and the hilt of the sword poked out of the suitcase slightly, looking like he was ready to draw his sword at any moment.

"How...... What's wrong!"

Kestrel only thought of a lot in a moment, not that he was worried that Lorenzo would break out and hurt people, although the contact time was not much, but the only thing that could make this detective show that serious look was a demon.

"Something is wrong. ”

"What's wrong?"

Lorenzo did not answer him for a moment, he stood between the two carriages, the wind blowing against him, and suddenly the wind increased and swept his deer-hunting hat into the dark night, and his pale golden hair danced wildly in the wind.

Looking at the end of that vision, the sky and the earth joined together and merged into pure darkness, the stars had long since dimmed, and it was clear that the dawn was approaching, but there were still heavy shadows under the horizon, as if tomorrow would never come.

"Don't you think...... Is this night too long?"

Tonight is far from the end.
