Chapter 35: The Winner
"It is certain that there are indeed people secretly tracking us, but it is not the Purification Agency, nor is it the Sualan Hall. ”
The plague doctor came over and made a guess about the raid, they had done everything perfectly before, and they had never made a mistake, except this time, which was extremely crucial.
"It is impossible for the Sualan Hall to have the strength to find out about this, but in the same way, if the purification agency finds this, the attacker is not these police officers, but the original sin armor that fell from the sky. ”
As Lorenzo and others had predicted, Lawrence had a team, an organization that had been formed in the shadows, not strong enough, but enough for Lawrence to drive.
"These things, you can not care about these things for now, after all, this is the old Dunling, the capital of Invig, this is a microcosm of the entire Western world, and there is no need to be surprised if anything happens. ”
Lawrence said a little flatly, he seemed to have expected this, or he didn't care.
After living for so long, Lawrence knows a truth, no matter how much preparation is made, when the event is carried out, there will always be some uncontrollable factors, and the preparation made only reduces the impact of those uncontrollable factors.
Lorenzo, for example, is still alive.
It wasn't until the end of that deathmatch that Lawrence knew why, and he wasn't the only one who won Advent Night.
Lorenzo Holmes ...... He's a dangerous guy, very dangerous. ”
The plague doctor was a little curious, it wasn't the first time he had seen the witcher, he felt very ordinary, and even a little weak against Lawrence, he didn't understand why Lawrence would describe him like that.
"Where's the danger?" the doctor asked.
"The danger is within...... I've never been able to figure out how he countered me in the [gap], but in retrospect, it was so obvious. ”
Lawrence said with some trepidation, he almost died at Watson's hands, just a little bit.
What did the plague doctor think, he asked with some suspicion.
"Who was Lorenzo, before he was given the name Lorenzo Holmes?"
Lawrence must have known something, the secret that no one knew, hidden in the dust.
But Lawrence refused.
"Shhhhh ”
He said mysteriously.
"He's still alive, the doctor. ”
"Who's still alive?" the doctor asked.
Lawrence no longer answered, he held the book of Revelation, and more and more secrets became clear in his eyes.
As a witcher, Lawrence's ability to become a cardinal is already the end of his status, but even so, the Church is still guarding against him, after all, his essence is only an inferior weapon, and the weapon does not need to know those secrets.
"It's a taboo thing, and hastily touching us will only drag us into the water, and there's something more interesting than he is now. ”
"For example?" asked the doctor.
"Cardinal Migar, for example. ”
Lawrence looked at the plague doctor, trying to see something under the heavy mask of the plague doctor.
"The new pope doesn't seem to be friendly, or else the tough Migar wouldn't have ended up like this," Lawrence continued, "and I'm familiar with him, and unlike the rest, Miguel is a fanatical believer, a complete madman, and when it came to discussing what to do with the Holy Grail, he was a staunch believer. ”
The plague doctor listened quietly, the people related to that period of history were almost dead, and being able to listen to everything mysterious at that time made the plague doctor have a strange sense of honor.
When he heard about the idea of the war, he drew his sword in anger and regarded them as infidels...... If no one stops him, he's really going to go on a killing spree. ”
"Sounds like you're in good hands. The epidemic doctor said.
For some reason, although he had never met the cardinal, he felt that Lawrence was somewhat similar to Miguel based on this description.
"I'm different from him, I just look a little bit like him," Lawrence shook his head, "Migar and I are both radical and crazy, but he will show that crazy side to everyone, and unlike me, I will release my rage in the dark, little by little." ”
The plague doctor couldn't help but shudder, yes, this is Lawrence, the plague doctor actually forgot this, no one knows what Lawrence wants to do, but as he said, he is a cunning guy like a poisonous snake.
While the Faith and the War were still arguing, he was already secretly plotting a rebellion and became the biggest winner in the Night of Arrival.
It is even said that when he is about to die, he can be reborn on another body with that strange power.
The plague doctor looked at Lawrence, the old patriarch was dead, and now he saw a young man, nothing impressive, but not easy to forget.
"It's good to be young, even my mentality has changed a lot. ”
Lawrence said with some joy that the process of adapting to the new body was not difficult, and it felt like being freed from a cage.
"What to do next, I guess the Emerald mission is not just those envoys. ”
More and more people are coming here, the city of steam and machinery, Old Dunling.
"Everybody is looking for us, or the book of Revelation. ”
This is what the epidemic doctor is most worried about, although he is also good at fighting, but he has witnessed the fall of the fire that day from afar, and the epidemic doctor does not think that he can survive the firepower on that scale.
"Don't worry, just watch it all behind the scenes. ”
Lawrence turned to look out the window, and the view was infinitely better.
"After all, 'Lawrence' is dead, and humans are greedy, and that greed will drag reason into madness little by little, little by little. ”
He laughed, thinking back to Lorenzo, who had thought he had done perfectly, but never thought that the biggest winner would be him, this person.
"You won everything at the table, great sir. ”
Lawrence raised his glass to nothingness, as if to honor some long-dead friend.
......
The smell of blood was mixed with the slightly hot steam, and there was a shrill sound of steam in the darkness, and the vapor diffused and his feet were in shallow puddles, and everything in the ground made Donas uncomfortable, but he came down to get the damn ones to justice.
In fact, this is also for himself, during this martial law period, if he solves this case, he may be promoted, preferably in the office, and will no longer be used to handle cases in such a ghostly place.
Pres and Eve were not far behind Donas. These police officers are not cowardly, and in the short advance, a large distance between the officers has been widened.
Obstructed in sight and vulnerable to attack, Donas held on to the wall and walked along the wall after exiting the tunnel.
After a long period of steam, a layer of tiny water droplets had formed on the wall, which gathered into water droplets and fell as the palm of the hand brushed it.
Donus walked slowly, and soon the hand holding the wall felt something.
One small pothole after another, it is obvious that this is caused by shooting, and judging from Donas's experience over the years, it must be a catastrophe, and there is internal commotion in this gang.
But then he touched something different, a crack, but unlike the crack he was familiar with, according to the touch of his palm, it was more like a scratch, as if it was caused by something sharp.
Suddenly, Donas's heart hung in the air, and he felt countless scratches, as if he had experienced some kind of razor-sharp rainstorm here, and he didn't know why he was terrified by such things, but as liquid flowed through his palms.
It's not condensation, it's some more viscous liquid.
Donas stopped, slowly lifted his foot, and there was a strange tugging sensation between the soles of his shoes and the water on the ground...... It's not condensation, it's blood, a big smear of blood.
The disgusting stench poured into his nostrils, magnifying the fear several times in an instant, Donas didn't understand what was going on, he hadn't seen a corpse before, he had touched the blood, but everything before was not as violent as this one.
The demonic erosion magnified everything, and the police officers behind them seemed to be affected by this power, many of them had stopped in the dark, and some were even slightly backwards, trying to escape from here.
Donus turned back to say something to his officers, and though he hadn't encountered anything at the moment, the strange fear had eaten away at all his sanity.
He opened his mouth, but another voice interrupted him.
"Hoo ......"
Something gasped in the darkness, breathing with a disgusting smell coming through the slightly hot air.
The wheezing sound was so low and long, it was not a human sound at all.
For a moment all movement stopped, and although there was no communication, Donus could clearly feel the silence of the moment, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps shattering the silence.
The strange thing walked in the darkness, its sound muffled by the shrill sound of steam, making it difficult to determine its location.
Donas breathed deeply, he couldn't say anything, and at this moment the sound of a rapid escape sounded, and the officer could no longer bear the unbearable fear and darkness, and he screamed and fled out of the tunnel.
His action directly led the others, and under the shroud of erosion, the will of these ordinary people was fragile, like a flock of birds scattered and fled.
Donus wanted to shout out loud to tell them not to run away, if there was really some inhuman weirdness moving forward in the darkness, then at this moment everyone was protected by the sound of steam and vapor, and now running was undoubtedly exposing himself to the darkness.
But it was too late, and there was a long, piercing roar in the darkness, a high-pitched roar that tormented everyone's eardrums, followed by a violent grinding sound, as if steel and rock intersected, leaving huge scars on the walls.
Donas also moved at this moment, the instinct to survive caused him to run wildly into the darkness, his brain was blank at the moment, and the erosion gradually ate away at his sanity, and when those gunshots and screams rang out, it was undoubtedly accelerating the collapse of his sanity.
The officers couldn't see what was in the darkness, they instinctively opened fire, but they could only peek into the corner of the evil and abomination in the brief light of the fire.
Reason began to crumble the moment they observed the evil, and then sharp bone blades pierced through their bodies and nailed to the wall.
The sudden abrupt change triggered a flurry of gunfire, and the officers screamed in the ever-glowing firelight.
Perhaps she had experienced enough, and Eve was no stranger to this situation, and even said that when the wheezing sound sounded, Eve realized all this, but she had no way to explain it, and she didn't even have time to remind others, it was like a trap, someone wanted to kill everyone who was tracking down the shipment.
"Don't shoot, that kind of thing can't kill it, it's better to kill yourself by drinking bullets!"
Eve only had time to grab Preece beside her, but Pree's reaction seemed to her to be okay, not as extreme fear as ordinary people, he actually had a little sense, and he could think in this desperate situation.
Preece was also wondering about this, and it was strange that he seemed to have some courage at the moment, barely holding on to this despair.
But then the darkness began to shake, and dust and rubble fell, as if the whole space was about to collapse.
"Run!"
Eve cried out anxiously, even though the darkness cut off her observation, she was still sure that it was a demon, and only a demon could do all this.
At the moment, they were just defenseless mortals, even if Eve was the female captain of Invig, but judging from Arthur's state at the time, they could only barely resist.
Escape, only escape, like a terrible dream, from the moment they entered this tunnel, they were detached from reality and into fear.
In the darkness, it was difficult to judge the direction, and in the chaotic running and continuous screaming, Pres actually saw a little light in the hellish darkness.
"Here!"
The light was so kind, Preese subconsciously moved forward.
Eve tried to stop him, the only light in the darkness was so obvious, as you approached the light, the monsters would also find your tracks, compared to the darkness was a safer place.
Like a fiery moth, Preece went all the way, but as he advanced, his pace slowed down, and the closer he got to the light, the more he could see what was beneath it.
Fireworks go up.
Blazing white light spilled through the cracks between the iron armor, as if the scorching sun was wrapped under the steel, it was pure destruction, an irresistible will to die.
Preece was stunned, he was completely unprepared to meet his own death like this, but sometimes, life is like this, it comes suddenly, and it doesn't give you any chance to prepare at all.
The sound of gunfire robbed him of his hearing, and the silence was only the faint murmur of buzzes, and then blazing white fireworks burst out from the muzzle of the guns and pierced the darkness once more.
Lorenzo tightened his grip on his knife and went straight past Pree, chasing after the fleeing demon.
