The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, Lorenzo frowned, and Eve, who was sitting on the other side, could clearly feel the change in Lorenzo.

"Did something happen? Lorenzo. ”

Eve asked quietly.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

Lorenzo put away the paper and stuffed it back into the envelope.

"What's written in it?"

Eve asked again, she always felt that Lorenzo was hiding something from herself.

"It's a bill, a very urgent bill, about building maintenance and things like that, probably if I don't pay again, they're going to sue me. ”

Lorenzo casually began to fool Eve, which he was good at and often succeeded.

"Building maintenance?"

Eve looked around her, the messy Winchester office, and it was clear that she thought it was Lorenzo's architecture.

"Are you lying to me?"

Just when Lorenzo thought he was going to succeed in tricking Eve, Evie suddenly said backhanded, and she looked at Lorenzo keenly, as if all the secrets could not be hidden from her.

The scene was awkward for a while.

"You used to say that I had grown up, and I was no longer the child who trembled in the face of demons before, and then you still lied to me with such ridiculous words?"

Eve looked helpless, and then whispered.

"You're going to have to grow, Lorenzo. ”

She patted Lorenzo vigorously on the shoulder, and Lorenzo replied with a look of disgust, disgusted by Eve's intricately contrived appearance.

Silent, Lorenzo's mood was a little complicated, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Then I'll go first, I'm going to be on duty. ”

Eve said and was leaving.

"Just gone?" I thought you'd ask me until I understood. ”

Lorenzo didn't believe that Eve had just left, and according to his impression of Eve, this guy would be maddening once he got into trouble.

"I know the ordinance, knowledge is cursed. If you're not going to tell me, it's probably cursed knowledge, and you said it, climb higher to know more. ”

Eve was a quick learner, and she listened to Lorenzo and pushed the door open.

"Bye-bye, Lorenzo. ”

The door slammed shut, and the room was dark again, and Lorenzo looked at the closed door, the smell of Eve still lingering in the air.

It's a novel experience, as a passing friend kicks open your door with a playful malice, and leaves with you......

To be honest, this is a life that Lorenzo never thought of before, he never even fantasized about it, but now he has almost everything that he didn't have before, and this beautiful feeling almost sinks him, and because it is all so beautiful, Lorenzo sees the light, and he can't bear the light to leave.

For some reason, Lorenzo remembered the guy named Juao, and when he finally stopped himself, he probably had this feeling, Lawrence was his light, his hope, and he was willing to give everything for all this.

The cacophony of air currents, and the steam rising again from under the street, fogged the old Dun Spirit of the morning again, blurring the window, but more light came in from the window, sweeping away the darkness and brightening the messy room.

The old Dunling is gradually waking up, and a new day has arrived.

Lorenzo's relaxed nerves tensed again, and he took out the envelope, took the paper out of it, spread it out, and laid it flat on the table in front of him.

The atmosphere was oppressive, as if the air had solidified into lead stones, pressing on his chest and making people breathless, Lorenzo seemed to be a little incredulous, he read the contents of the paper again, this time he was silent for a long time, and finally slowly got up, tore the paper to shreds, and threw it into the ashtray, and the blazing white fireworks flashed, burning them to ashes.

I don't know if it was a hallucination or something, the moment it burned in the ashtray, the fireworks burned the edge of the paper, and it let out a human-like scream, but the sound was so small that if Lorenzo didn't pay attention, he wouldn't even be able to detect it.

Looking at the wailing sound, the fireworks had been extinguished, and in the pile of black ashes, Lorenzo found that the center of it was slowly collapsing, turning into a dark hole.

His bloodshot eyes opened from the hole, and his eyeballs moved rapidly, searching for his target, and finally meeting Lorenzo's eyes.

The eyeball shattered, it sunken, and then a steady stream of black water gushed out of it, and it erupted rapidly, swallowing the ground in an instant.

Lorenzo immediately reached out and tried to reach for the nail sword that was inserted in the wall to hang clothes, but found that he could not move at all, and his body froze in place, not listening to the call.

The sound of madness poured into his ears in an instant, and he saw that the window had become pitch black, and the next moment countless white palms knocked on the doors and windows.

"Something!"

Lorenzo looked at it a little puzzled, he wasn't afraid of ghosts or anything, because he had killed something more terrifying than these, and it stands to reason that they should be afraid of him.

Lorenzo's pale and bloodied face appeared in Lorenzo's eyes, her pupils were dilated, as if her soul had been drained, she slammed her head against the window, smashed the glass, and there was a terrible wound on her forehead, blood flowed through the bridge of her nose, she was already dead, and she crawled into the house with great difficulty.

"Eve......

Lorenzo recognized the face as Eve, who had just left, and more familiar but dead faces appeared around her.

There is something cold inside.

The sound of the tide sounded, the sound became louder and louder, coming from all directions, Lorenzo remembered that the place where he lived was at least a few streets away from the Thames, how could a big flood flood here, but the next moment the dark black water broke open the doors and windows, and it rolled up the dead floating corpses, and Lorenzo was swallowed up before he could even resist.

It's a familiar feeling...... Lorenzo remembered that it was today's nightmare, sinking in this endless ocean......

Is it himself who drowned?

At the end of the darkness, a light rises.

Lorenzo stood still, still holding the same motion as he lit the fire, his sword still honestly stuck to the side, his coat hanging from the hilt, his body stiffened a little, and then sat down slowly.

Everything had changed back to its normal state, as if everything just now was just an illusion, but Lorenzo felt that something was wrong, this illusion was so real, so real that he felt extremely cold now, as if he had just crawled out of the harsh winter.

"What's going on?"

Lorenzo muttered to himself, he didn't feel the fluctuations of the erosion, he didn't make eye contact with anyone, and he had the impression that the hallucinatory guy who could control it had been killed by him.

With a little fear, his gaze moved to the ashtray again, and there were still a few embers in the dust, which was stubbornly glowing faintly.

"Cursed knowledge...... Is it?"

Lorenzo looked at the ashes left behind by the burning paper ball, and he temporarily attributed the strange hallucination to the memetic contamination of the knowledge, after all, there were still too many secrets in this world that he didn't know yet.

Watson...... What exactly have you done?"

Lorenzo picked up a cigarette and looked out the window in confusion, there was no black water or dead bodies, just a calm appearance.

He felt a little headache in his head, and he was afraid that he would have fainted from the hallucination just now to ordinary people, but Lorenzo had become accustomed to it, and even said that he felt that it should not be an illusion just now, and with the information on the paper, it should have been airborne by a few silent people.

Well, that's the joke here, this mindset of having fun in the bitterness is important, but it can't be everything.

Lorenzo's eyes were heavy, and then he closed his eyes and thought.

The message on the paper was like a bomb, exploding in Lorenzo's mind, and Watson seemed to be urgent in conveying the news, the words clearly condensed by her in advance so that they could be sent quickly from the telegram.

Watson conveyed a lot of information, but some of the details were vague, but it was understandable from the state of her story.

Watson is being hunted by the Silencer, an independent-minded and incomparably powerful Silencer.

"Will be killed, avoid head-on contact. ”

This was Watson's assessment, which made Lorenzo very worried about her situation and also under pressure.

In Lorenzo's cognition, the existence of [sublimation] like him and Watson is already considered to be the top combat power, and in a one-on-one situation, almost no one is their opponent, even in the face of the army, with the blessing of Power Gabriel, there is still a certain chance of victory.

But Watson vetoed everything, and she warned Lorenzo that the enemy could move in the gap, and that once he used Gabriel, he had a great chance of being spotted by him.

So looking at it this way, in the streets and alleys, Watson must have come to look for her at that time, but she encountered the enemy, and she could only hurriedly leave a warning and send more information when she was safe.

Lorenzo knew exactly what was going on, and it gave him a better understanding of the Shepherd's theory, that the Silencers are not all clumsy machines, and that when they go deep enough beyond the fence, a more powerful being will emerge to correct all these mistakes.

It was so easy to reverse it, and Watson learned enough knowledge to trigger this, which led to the current situation.

So what did Watson learn?

She didn't explain this on paper, but only vaguely mentioned some clues.

"The temple of stillness, the well of ascension, where it seems to be the beginning of everything. ”

Lorenzo muttered in a low voice, this was Watson's mention on the paper, like a riddle, but Lorenzo understood what Watson meant, and remembering what he and Eve had just said, Lorenzo couldn't help but feel a little ironic at the moment.

Knowledge is cursed, and different classes of people learn different secrets, so the same story is distorted into different shapes in the eyes of different people.

Lie after lie covers the world, and just as Lorenzo could not tell Eve the truth, Watson could not tell Lorenzo more details, because once Lorenzo knew this, Lorenzo would inevitably attract the attention of the Silencers and face the formidable enemy Watson had encountered.

Watson couldn't stand up to that enemy herself, and so did she felt.

But...... There's a little hope, too, and that's the last piece of information on paper.

"The Holy Silver can block the [gap] invasion and protect us from the Silencer. ”

Lorenzo never thought that the Holy Silver would be of such use, and it seemed that he needed to build a Holy Silver Helmet for himself, but then Lorenzo was lost.

He no longer had the Holy Silver, a precious resource that had long since been depleted in the previous successive battles, and until now Lorenzo did not know the structure of this thing, only that the Evangelical Church had this resource.

Lorenzo had also asked Merlin before, and after providing some samples, Merlin had only come to the conclusion that it might be an alchemical product, and no one knew how to produce the holy silver.

"The Temple of Stasis...... Looks like I have a chance to go back......"

Thinking of this, Lorenzo's only remaining target was the Stagnant Temple, the former base of the Demon Hunting Order, and judging from Watson's intelligence, this is also the source of everything.

She used the word roots, and there must be enough secrets to be pursued here...... Come to think of it, before the night of Arrival, the Demon Hunters may be the closest group to the truth of this world, and it would not be surprising that Lorenzo was buried under that strange land.

As the Gospels say, darkness grows from the shadow of God, so as the reflection of the Basilica of San Nalo, the Stasis Temple is the source of darkness.

But it's not that bad now.

Lorenzo comforted herself that Watson had new information and was safe now, and she had also telegraphed that she would contact her again.

Now they are one step closer to the source of the mystery, and similarly, there is a deeper darkness that hangs over Lorenzo.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not too bad. ”

Lorenzo muttered to himself, then got up, put on his trench coat, armed himself, and pushed the door open.

Tomorrow he was going to meet Queen Victoria, but Lorenzo had some things to do before he did, such as dealing with some legacy matters.

"I'm coming to pick you up, Lorenzo. ”

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the door, and Blue Jade pushed the door open and said to Lorenzo.

"Oh, why are you, I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Lorenzo made himself as happy as he could, forgetting about the hallucinations and nightmares he had just had.

"There is a shortage of manpower right now...... Well, we seem to have been understaffed all along, Shrike is still resting in the hospital, he hasn't suffered many injuries, but he needs a psychiatric test, Kestrel is not healed yet, he can only do some work on duty, and finally it will be my turn. ”

Blue Jade explained.

"Working in a high-risk occupation is like this. ”

Lorenzo sat in the car and said slowly.

"It looks like it's not going to be easy for everyone...... How's he doing?"

"Not bad, except for some signs of schizophrenia, everything is fine. ”

Lorenzo nodded and sighed.

"Well, that sounds pretty good. ”
