So go to the break, Lorenzo. ”

Looking at the departing back, Merlin shouted again.

"Originally, this was to prepare for a new experiment, and the subjects of the experiment were also ordinary people, so many indicators were according to the standards of ordinary people, and this time with your participation, in order to maximize the effect of the experiment, we had to reset everything. ”

"How long will it take?"

Lorenzo stopped, he didn't want to stay in the underground for too long.

"At least for a while, we won't be able to do it, and we'll have to readjust the power supply. ”

As Merlin spoke, someone approached and led Lorenzo to rest.

"Follow him, and you can take advantage of this break to write a will. ”

"Are you serious?"

Merlin didn't know what was going on, and clung to the will, endlessly.

"Of course, life is so fragile, maybe this time the invincible Lorenzo Holmes will fall?"

Merlin said this, then ignored Lorenzo and sent him away with the rest of his gaze, then instructed the people to pick up new cables, and the electricity surged, flashing dazzling sparks and thunder above the space.

He is the person in charge here, although to a certain extent, Merlin still has to obey Arthur's orders, but now Arthur is busy dealing with Anthony, this experiment was privately approved by Merlin, everyone has their own pursuit, Merlin's pursuit is undoubtedly this truth, and at this moment he is close to it.

Merlin didn't care about Arthur anymore, but someone came over with news from Arthur.

"Arthur wants to talk to you. ”

"At this time?"

Merlin felt that the timing was a bit of a surprise.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded, went to the control room, and picked up the phone.

"Merlin?"

Arthur's voice rang on the other end of the phone, he seemed to be a little unsure of the person on the other side of the phone, but according to the regulations, the only person qualified to answer this call was Merlin, and his suspicion was strange.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

Arthur's call was a little too accurate, and Merlin began to wonder if it was his own private experiment that caused his anger, but Merlin didn't care about it, and finally Lorenzo cooperated with this extremely risky experiment, and he had to start saying anything.

This is one of the most annoying aspects of alchemists, they have a pathological paranoia about knowledge, and if you exclude them, these alchemists are usually reliable.

"I have confirmed Anthony's intelligence...... At least partially. ”

Arthur's voice was full of seriousness.

Through Shermans's confirmation, it can be confirmed that Lorenzo did deceive everyone in terms of identity, but Arthur has not been able to determine the part of the pseudo-chalice.

Most of the people who knew about the strange thing died on the night of the Arrival, and Shermans was not present, so he survived, but because of this, he could not be sure whether Anthony's words were true or false.

"You...... What do you want to do?" Merlin asked directly.

"I don't know, but with Lorenzo, I didn't realize until now that we didn't have any counterbalances against him, and if he wanted to, he would become as dangerous as Lawrence. ”

Arthur's voice revealed worry, the witcher's individual combat ability is terrifying, even if he sends the original sin armor to encircle and suppress, the chances of facing Lorenzo will not be very great, after all, the original sin armor needs supplies, but this witcher does not need it.

The Evangelical Church has created the most perfect weapon, and even in today's modern weaponry, it still has a powerful combat power.

"But he's not Lawrence. Merlin defended Lorenzo.

"Arthur, you're a little too worried, have you forgotten the original rules of the purification agency? The past is destined to be abandoned, and if our past is to be judged by ourselves, then half of the people in the purification agency will be sent to prison. ”

"Kolorenzo ......"

"I know what you're afraid of, and that's something to be wary of, right?"

Arthur's voice sounded slowly.

"Yes, Lorenzo is a trustworthy fellow, but we need to plan for all eventualities, just like the ones we planned before, if Invig falls, if the spread of demons is uncontrollable, if I have you, the administrators of the Purification Mechanism will be wiped out...... We should plan for all possible dangers...... Lorenzo is no exception. ”

No one knows how many plans the purifiers have for potential dangers, but the only thing that is clear is that with the help of these plans, the decontamination agencies have survived to this day.

What monsters need is shackles, even Arthur himself.

"I know that at least Lorenzo hasn't shown a hostile side yet, and that the plan against him has actually taken shape and I'll report back to the scavengers when it's perfected. ”

Merlin replied, then hung up.

The ease of life is always a reminder of those difficult moments, and in the early days of the Purifier, it was a brutal time, when the knights fought the demons with weapons, and they had to be vigilant not only against the demons, but also for their teammates who could be corrupted, as well as for themselves.

There is no absolute safety mind, only an absolutely safe response plan.

......

"How's the rest?"

A few hours later, after the Black Angel experiment was debugged, Lorenzo staggered over from the other side.

"It's not good, it feels like I'm a mole, it's dark, there's the sound of digging everywhere, and the sound of electricity. ”

Lorenzo's day was a bit too busy, and he wanted to take a break, but the environment here was really not comfortable.

Although the environment of the old Dunling was not much stronger, the sky was gloomy and the air was full of filthy particles, but when Lorenzo was lying alone in the room, he could hear the faint breathing next door, the snoring of Madame van Loude downstairs, and near the window, he could see the busy traffic.

Lorenzo didn't belong to such a world, but it was always a little more comfortable to look up and see such a peaceful world, and here, Lorenzo felt that maybe the soil layer above it would collapse due to some experimental explosion in the next second, and bury you alive here.

"Can this place really be inhabited?"

Lorenzo was a little difficult to accept, there was no sky here, and if there was no pocket watch, he didn't know what time it was at the moment, maybe it was late at night, or maybe the daylight had risen the next day.

"Of course, not only can it be inhabited, but in our many plans, if the surface of the old Dunling is destroyed, this is our last refuge, there are enough supplies here, there is a complete underground production chain, enough for us to live here for several years. ”

"Looks like you've turned this place into a fortress in the time you've taken over. ”

Hearing what Merlin said, Lorenzo responded.

In fact, it seems that this place is also an unbelievable miracle, Lorenzo could not understand how they dug so deep, even the Sanctuary of Stasis under the Basilica of Santa Nalo was based on the huge underground cavern.

"Thanks to the progress of industry. ”

Merlin didn't answer directly, but praised the cold machine.

"You need to stay awake for a long time and inject the rest of it. ”

As he spoke, he handed over several more Florente potions, which were now working in Lorenzo's body, and he was too mentally ill.

"Aren't you afraid of death from an overdose?"

"Ordinary people may die, but you're a witcher after all, and it's always right to increase the dose. ”

Merlin said.

"Actually, your arrival is also a surprise, although I really want you to participate in the experiment, but you are also aware of the current situation in the old Dunling, we scientific researchers are grounded to a certain extent, and we can only nest here, so as not to be killed or abducted by unknown forces. ”

Sometimes the importance of scientific researchers is more important than those leaders, but fortunately, Merlin has been carrying out technological reforms for so many years, and once the alchemist dies, the direct discontinuation of important technologies will not happen again.

The sound of instructions echoed through the loudspeakers in the underground space, and the machinery slowly rotated, lifting the heavy steel and then erecting a lifting ladder, and countless lights fell, and everyone was vigilant all around, preparing for the experiment that was about to begin.

"Isn't there any security? If I get out of control, none of you will survive. ”

Lorenzo wears a garment full of electrodes, and the thin wires are intertwined to connect to the machine, which is said to be a crude reflection of Lorenzo's basic physiology.

"Think about it another way, if you lose control, will something stop you?"

Merlin said helplessly, just as Arthur was vigilant, the Purification Mechanism currently has no ability to balance Lorenzo, or to control him at a small cost, as the first echelon of combat power against demons, only the Original Sin Armor can match it.

"So in order to ensure that we are not killed by you, you have to control yourself as much as possible. ”

Merlin admonished again.

"I will...... You don't know exactly what's going to happen, do you?"

Although he said yes easily, Lorenzo also had the same psychological pressure.

Both he and the Black Angel possess the flesh of the Holy Grail, and no one knows what will happen next.

"It's an unknown, and what we have to do is to explore it, to turn the unknown into the known. ”

Merlin encouraged Lorenzo.

"It's an honor, Lorenzo, just as your evangelical church created witchers in the first place, and you don't know what happens when humans have mastered this forbidden power, do you?

Trying will bring about change, but if you don't try, you will always be such a backwater. ”

With Merlin's words, the machinery began to rotate and pull, and the black angel who was hanging in the air made a strange sound, and as the electricity poured in, those muscle tissues instinctively tensed, and the iron feathers rubbed against each other, making a piercing scream.

The experiment began, everyone was on standby, the lights turned red, and tension filled the underground space.

The pitch-black Evil Egg began to deform, and the outer layer of steel was opened under the pull of the machine, and the wings that were wrapped in it spread little by little, revealing the inside of the core, and more liquid gushing out of the cracks like blood.

Lorenzo looked up at the evil thing that had saved him, but then he saw the outer scale of the black angel slowly rise and fall.

"It'...... It's breathing?"

Lorenzo couldn't believe it.

"Yes, the original sin armor is just a demon fused with machinery from another point of view, it also has a biological instinct, and this instinct has been enhanced a lot after the addition of the Holy Grail flesh and blood, and in its first few experiments, the black angel even showed a certain self-instinct. ”

Because he had seen it many times, Merlin's reaction was not as big as Lorenzo's.

The steam engine began to warm up, the steel burned bright red, the surging gas gushed out of the exhaust hole, one after another indicator lights up on the surface of the black angel's body, and the flesh and blood also squirmed when the light was on, and this time it was different from the memory, as the wings unfolded, the crimson shackles were revealed under the wings, as if they were several rivets, penetrating the armor.

"It's a restraint device that suppresses the Black Angel's activity to a certain extent, and it also connects cables and pipes to inject electricity and suppression liquid into the Original Sin Armor, which is the safety device for our experiment. ”

Merlin explained to Lorenzo as he explained, and as he did, the rivets embedded in the flesh turned, and the iron structure inside stretched out, the tail connected to the cable, and the cryogenic gas used for suppression was ready.

Directly below the Black Angel, the ground also collapsed as the experiment began, and it was pitch black inside, and as expected, once Lorenzo got out of control, he might be thrown directly here.

"Are you ready? Lorenzo. ”

Merlin looked at Lorenzo, he hoped to read some nervousness on Lorenzo's face, but the neurotic looked excited, not at all like a normal person.

It seems that for Lorenzo, the road ahead is not a tiger's den in Longtan, but a dream home.

"It's been ready for a long time. ”

Lorenzo replied that if nothing else, the Black Angel would assist him in reaching the Gap, and while it was unclear how this worked, as Merlin said, it was a process of turning the unknown into the known, and he would be a heroic pioneer.

"That's right, about the wills. ”

Lorenzo reached out and grabbed the cable, but just as he was about to ascend, he suddenly stopped and turned his head and asked.

"Merlin, if you write a will, what will you write? It should be about the transfer of knowledge, right? So these things are things that only those of you who have unfinished wishes will leave behind, you know that someone will take your place, and you are not alone. ”

"What do you want to say?" asked Merlin.

Lorenzo seemed to say something, but swallowed it back, only giving Merlin a thumbs up, then pulling the rope tight, and with the turn of the winch, rising to a high place, until the black angel's hideous, calm posture appeared before his eyes.

As if welcoming Lorenzo, with Lorenzo's arrival, the black scale armor cracked one after another under the pull of flesh and blood, as if opening a large mouth, swallowing Lorenzo in one gulp.
