Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Road to Destruction

Florent's potion spread throughout the heart in an instant, as the blood flowed rapidly through the blood vessels, with the powerful ups and downs of the heart.

The consciousness gradually came to his senses, as if he had been placed in a cold wind, and the cold sensation spread to the skin on the surface of the body, and all the sleepiness and tiredness disappeared, followed by the sensitivity of the senses.

It was indescribably "clear", it seemed that there was once an unknown fog that shrouded the world, but now that the fog was gone, Lorenzo could clearly observe the essence of everything.

"Lorenzo ......"

Seleuc cried out with some concern, and she stood behind the door, looking at him with some fear.

Everyone felt it, and the moment Lorenzo made contact with the soldiers, a massive and terrifying erosion was released from the witcher, like a nightmare that befell reality, frenzied wails and twisted claws tore at everyone.

At that moment, Seleuc even lost the ability to think, just like creatures in nature, and the predator found her, and the sense of despair in that moment made her unable to even think of resisting.

The deepest horrors of despair.

Yawei was also vigilant, his old face was covered with sweat, and he probably used the courage he had to rush over and inject Lorenzo with Florente's potion.

He wiped the sweat from his sleeve, now was not the time to pay attention to any etiquette.

"I'm fine. ”

Lorenzo replied briefly, serious.

Then he proved it all by his actions, he put away his folding knife, and the remnants of his armor fell off and fell to the ground sporadically, making a metallic thud.

"It's Imam Lawrence. ”

He said to the kestrel as he walked by.

"He got here by [gap] shuttle, but I was able to repel him. ”

It should have been repulsed, otherwise he would have been invaded by Laureus at this moment.

Kestrel asked, with a look of horror on his face.

"Are you sure?"

This is the Institute of Mechanics, although in the name of scientific research, but this is a fortress of war, with countless heavy firepower built-in, and below it is the mysterious perpetual motion pump.

The vast industrial area and mines are the best battlefield, even if there are tens of millions of demons invading, they can rely on powerful firepower to repel them, but now this most relied on barrier is useless, and the invisible enemy easily arrives here.

Lorenzo nodded, although he didn't want to admit it, but that's it, their enemies became more and more cunning and terrifying, and the kestrel never reached the [gap] like people who had never seen the sea, and he naturally couldn't understand what Lorenzo said, or he couldn't understand the truth of what he said.

It wasn't until this fact appeared before his eyes that he felt the horror of this power so clearly.

Lorenzo tucked the knife into his arms, ignoring the kestrel's delicate watch, and whispered under his breath.

"It's scary because of the invisible. ”

This is the demon, this is the unknown mystery.

"Seleuc, follow me. ”

Lorenzo suddenly turned to the girl next to him.

Seleucus didn't know what Lorenzo was going to do, but out of some trust, he obediently walked out.

There was something strange about the atmosphere, or rather something strange from the time Lorenzo woke up.

As soon as the kestrel was about to say something, Lorenzo directly interrupted him and said.

"Put his body away and send it to the Perpetual Motion Pump, and maybe we'll find out something. ”

"......"

He wanted to say something, but suddenly saw Lorenzo's eyes, and the rest of the words were suddenly choked back, and his thoughts were interrupted.

It wasn't the eyes that humans should have, as if they were the aftermath of the demon god's attachment, peeking into a little bit of scarlet.

"Yawei, go get your weapons ready and follow the Kestrels, he'll equip them for you. ”

He turned his head back to Yawei again.

"Me?"

"Yes, our enemies are terrible, and even if you're an old man, you have to do it, don't you?"

Lorenzo replied coldly.

Yawei couldn't refute this guy for a moment, paused, and walked to the kestrel's side.

Everyone moved, and according to Lorenzo's thoughts, hurried footsteps sounded nearby, and Lorenzo seemed to be in a hurry, he picked up the box containing Florent's potion, and then took Seleu's hand, and walked quickly through the corridor, his stride was so great that Seleu had great difficulty to keep up with him.

"Where are we going?"

Seleuc asked with some hesitation, she could feel that something was about to happen, and she was a little uneasy.

"Mousetrap. ”

Lorenzo said with a pretended lightheartedness.

"You're the cheese on the clip, and Sheikh Lawrence is the pesky rat, and we're going to have to guide him to the trap. ”

"But didn't you repel him?"

"If he could really give up so easily, he wouldn't be Laureus Imam. ”

Lorenzo responded, his steps suddenly stopped, and he pulled Seleucus into the side warehouse, where a group of soldiers passed by the doorway.

Seleuce watched all this quietly, and Lorenzo was hiding from them, for some unknown reason.

......

"This isn't a 'mousetrap'. ”

In silence, Seleuc asked.

The massive fortress had been left behind, and a cold wind had whipped up a thick layer of dust, mixed with burning cinders, like a gray wind blowing by.

Seleuc could only close his eyes to dodge, but the witcher stood in it like a pillar of stone.

Waiting for the wind to pass, the dust-covered train platform is there in the desolate mines, and because of the vastness of the industrial area, it is common to leave here by train.

"I know. ”

Lorenzo replied casually, he looked at Seleuc, the staring at the girl was a little hairy, no one knew what Lorenzo was thinking, since he had just woken up, he was like a different person.

The train moved slowly, strangely, with only Lorenzo and Seleuc on board, and the desolate landscape began to recede rapidly, and they were moving away from the mechanical yard, away from the heavy protection.

"Before you...... Are you trying to take them away?"

Seleuc asked in silence.

Kestrel and Yawei, they didn't have to do that, they just needed Lorenzo, he needed them to leave, so that the two of them could leave.

Lorenzo nodded, his chin on crutch, looking out the window, into the distance, which made his eyes more comfortable.

Because of the special part of the demon hunters, there was no one to stop them on the way out, and the two of them walked out of it so generously.

"We're not going to a 'mousetrap' either, are we? ”

Seleuc asked again.

She didn't know where the train ended up, she didn't know what Lorenzo was trying to do, all the power and position were useless at the moment...... Not even as useful as a dagger.

Lorenzo slowly moved his gaze to her, this time Lorenzo did not avoid Seleu's gaze, and this time Seleu could not see anything in his gray-blue pupils, the gray mist obscured everything, so that people could not see his thoughts.

But at this moment, Lorenzo suddenly showed an abnormal smile, and he said.

"Actually, I'm thinking about one thing, Seleuc. ”

"What's the matter?"

"On the question of sacrificing Eve. ”

Lorenzo folded his hands and placed them on the table, sitting upright.

This was the question Seleuc had asked him before, and perhaps she hadn't expected it to be a problem that trapped the witcher.

"I'm wondering if I'm a hypocrite. ”

"It's also to eradicate demons, why can I sacrifice Eve without hesitation, but hesitate about you. ”

Lorenzo thought back to his original heart, and everything seemed to have an answer.

"What's the answer?"

Seleuc let her guard down, and she looked at Lorenzo with her face on her crutches.

The train crossed the long distance, crushing all the debris from the tracks, and bringing up whistling dust like a giant python moving forward.

"It's not an optimal solution. ”

Lorenzo directly rejected his previous answer.

"Anger. ”

He replied.

"People need power, just like a machine, we need to burn something to move ourselves forward, and the so-called ideal, the so-called thread is the best fuel. ”

It's like in some ridiculous storybook, as long as the protagonist of the story is angry, even the so-called gods can be knocked down with one punch.

"Keep the anger. ”

Seleuc said softly.

"Unquenchable anger is the perfect fuel. ”

Lorenzo said lightly, it was hard to imagine what kind of boiling was hidden under this calm demeanor.

It was that anger that kept Lorenzo alive on the night of Arrival, the same anger that made him cross the obstacles to the Old Dunling, and the same anger that made him draw his nail sword again.

"For me, at that time, let alone sacrificing Eve, even if I died, as long as I could kill Imam Lawrence, I would be satisfied. ”

That's why I'm so indifferent to life.

Looking up, Lorenzo picked up a cigarette and looked at the sky, puffing into the clouds.

"Tsk, is that all?"

Seleuc behaved far beyond Lorenzo's expectations, and she said with a look of disdain, as if she didn't care about Lorenzo's statement.

"Lorenzo, you know what? Actually, people like you deserve to go to hell. ”

"The perfect death for you is to die with demons. ”

As she spoke, she began to perform, and there were many strange expressions on her indifferent little face, and she opened her teeth and claws.

"Think about it, the great Mr. Holmes, after fighting all night, cut off all his weapons, and finally he began to use his fists, his claws, and his teeth...... Kill the enemy with all the weapons he can use. ”

"Slit the throats of demons and strangle them to the ground with your elbows...... Exhausted, you are pierced by demons, and finally die against the rising sun. ”

Seleuc performed the tragic spectacle of death, and no one could have imagined that her face was so rich.

"Actually, you're really good at guessing, as long as you think about everything. ”

"But Lorenzo, what do you think...... Is your life a little too monotonous? The only difference between you and those ascetics is that you are an ascetic who fights and kills, and every day before you go to sleep, you recite holy words, hoping that your sword will be sharper when you cut demons. ”

She continued like a chatterbox.

"Yawei has taken me to many big people's dinners, in fact, everyone is just like you, ambitious and full of anger, but what they want is power, wealth, only you want the death of demons. ”

"So what do you want to kill the demons for? doctrine, or faith in God, or hell and peace?"

Lorenzo was dumbfounded by what she said, and the girl took the initiative again.

"Lorenzo, it's not a good thing to be too angry, you're going to be burned out by your anger...... This is a dead end, a path of self-destruction. ”

Seleucus looked at him, at this monster driven by anger and hatred.

"Then I can be sacrificed for this long-cherished wish, right?"

After a long silence, Lorenzo replied.

"I don't know. ”

He looked like he had a headache.

"Actually, before sacrificing Eve, I didn't expect that I would be the one to make such a decision. ”

"But sometimes that's it, and it's only when things actually come that you realize what kind of person you are and what decisions you're going to make. ”

The honorable become inferior, the villain becomes noble, the warrior flees in rout, but the coward comes out.

Sometimes human beings are so strange, pathetic creatures constructed by contradictions.

"Do you regret it?"

“...... I don't know. ”

Lorenzo laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

"I didn't think about that at all, I just wanted to kill Imam Lawrence, and I knew he was strong and I might die...... But who cares after death?"

As it was said to Saab then, to be dead is to be dead, and to be nothing.

There is no hatred, no anger, no demagogic power, no glorious gods, just a gray of nothingness, a long sleep of eternal silence.

"You're like an evasive coward. ”

"I just don't want you to say that. ”

The two looked at each other for a short time, Seleuc sighed helplessly, she knew very well what the situation was now, she was powerless to resist, looking at the fortress that was gradually moving away, she said.

"So what's going to be crazy about you're going to do next? What hell is the road to destruction?"

Lorenzo deliberately took himself out of the purification agency's jurisdiction, and in that short period of time Lorenzo must have thought of something that made him make such a decision.

"Is your current behavior a betrayal? Arthur must be tempted to kill you right now. ”

Then she said.

"It doesn't matter, it's not like he's going to have this idea in one day anyway. ”

Lorenzo looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

The train stopped slowly, as long as it left here, it was officially out of the jurisdiction of the purification agency, it was strange that after such a long time, there were no pursuers, just like someone had prepared an escape route for Lorenzo in advance.

"Aren't you afraid? ”

Looking at the open door, none of them moved.

Seleucus looked at Lorenzo's mocking face.

"So you 'kidnap' me here, did you remember to ask the hearts of the people at that time?"

She stood up and walked to the door, ignoring Lorenzo's stunned look.

Seleuc has always been like this, it is difficult to see, even though he is a child, but he always looks like an adult...... In fact, in a few days, she will indeed be an adult.

"Lorenzo, I was rescued from Gaulnalo, so now I'll help you on that damn path of destruction. ”

She looked at Lorenzo, majestic as iron.

"We're clear. ”
