Many times, the right choice does not lead to a good outcome, but sometimes a bad decision can win a silver lining.

Lorenzo opened his eyes leisurely, and after getting out of the [gap], the witcher had never been in a state of decline at the moment, but as if he had made some kind of big decision, he clenched his fists.

What an interesting description.

Recalling Watson's words, Lorenzo felt like he was reacquainted with the demons.

Lorenzo, who was an ant, wanted to call for help from humans, so he piled up a pile of insect corpses...... It is food for ants to survive the winter, but it is a pile of rotting and disgusting garbage for summoned humans.

Humans and demons are inherently different beings, and there are insurmountable barriers between minds.

Is it even possible to say that the demon's brutal behavior is merely a fun game in their own eyes?

"Mr. Holmes?"

The kestrel pushed the door and saw Lorenzo just in time, and he interrupted Lorenzo's train of thought and shouted.

Lorenzo looked up at the kestrel and placed his weapon at his side.

"Has the thing arrived?"

"It's all here, this is the old Dunling, we can still get some things here after removing the organs. ”

Kestrel said as he handed over a silver suitcase with a tail-biting Ouroboros from the Perpetual Pump.

This is what Lorenzo applied for after the arrival of the purification agency, and with the previous cooperation, the material assistance of the cleaning agency was also very fast.

"What about the people?"

Lorenzo took the box and asked.

"It's been found out, but there are some problems that you need to look at. ”

Kestrel said with a slight frown, looking like something had happened.

"Okay, I see, wait a minute. ”

Lorenzo said, looking at Seleucus above, and he said.

"Seleuc, it's time for us to go. ”

"Where to go?"

The girl looked up, her eyes full of tiredness and sleepiness.

"You'll find out in a moment...... Can't stay here anymore anyway. ”

Lorenzo said lightly, Stuart's mansion is so obvious that you can find it directly on some detailed maps.

Now the enemy is in the shadows, and with the strange and unknown power of the demons, no one knows how they will appear.

"Of course, there's one more thing before that. ”

Lorenzo said as he opened the suitcase, and from his vantage point he could see the contents just right, it was rows of Florente Elixir that had been called up from the Perpetual Pump overnight.

But instead of taking out the potion, Lorenzo picked up another syringe from the side, hid it under the back of his hand, and walked towards Seleuc.

"What are you going to do?"

Seleucus looked at Lorenzo as he walked by, and felt that something was wrong.

"You need to rest Seleuc. ”

He said, and then quickly injected a small amount of tranquilizer into Seleuc's body, and the woman should have been surprised at first, and then violently resisted, but before she could do any more struggle, the tide of sleepiness engulfed her, and she closed her eyes weakly and fell asleep.

The little face that had been tense relaxed and looked soft.

After patting Seleuc's face and confirming that the girl was really asleep, Lorenzo picked her up, saw Yawei walking in, and handed it directly to Yawei.

"If she has any unusual reactions, give her this. ”

As he spoke, he threw a Florent potion to Yawei.

Human willpower is limited, and with Seleuca's ordinary physique, long-term fatigue will only make her more and more vulnerable, unable to face the attack from the spirit.

"What's wrong with her?"

Looking at the sleeping Seleuc, Yawei didn't know the cause and effect, and became angry for a while.

"Sleep, just sleep, we need to change places, I need to prepare something. ”

The god Lorenzo became cold, like a calm hunter, wiping his sword and crossbow, and laying out the trap of the hunt.

The grim look frightened Yawei a little, and in his eyes the detective was dangerous, but always full of relaxing neuroticism, but now that somewhat joyful neurosis was gone, and only a hunter who was focused on hunting remained.

"Yawei, in fact, you are the real backing of the Seleuc. ”

Lorenzo looked at the old butler, Seleucus was still young, and she still had a lot to learn, so Yawei was in charge of the regulation of other families and the management of the Stuart family's property.

What's more, in Lorenzo's opinion, so much time has passed, and no one knows whether the remaining thirty-two families will still fulfill their original vows, after all, people will change.

"What's wrong. ”

Yawei was slightly stunned, not knowing why he said that, Lorenzo's gaze was unfeeling.

"It's just that there are some things you should know, and I hope you won't be surprised by what you see next, and of course take care of your master. ”

Everything about demons, if there is a battle, Lorenzo will most likely not have time to take care of Seleuc, and then the old butler will play his role.

Lorenzo said as he walked past Yawei, pushed the door open, and walked out, the carriage of the Purifier already waiting at the door.

......

"Mr. Holmes, is this what a 'connection' is? ”

Surprisingly, it was Merlin who was waiting for Lorenzo in the carriage.

"Just like you're complimenting me. ”

Lorenzo replied casually and got into the carriage.

Escorted by the Kestrels, Yawei also boarded the carriage behind with Seleuc, and when the preparations were over, the dark convoy made its way through the streets of Old Dunling.

"I didn't expect you to be there. ”

"This matter involves a future duke, and it is not an exaggeration to be very strict. ”

"Who are those people?"

Lorenzo asked directly.

Those mysterious invaders, although it is not clear who is using whom, it is clear that those people are related to demons.

"We've looked it out, but one good news, one bad news. ”

Merlin rarely sold the pass, but he didn't wait for Lorenzo to ask him about it, and it seemed that he knew at the moment that this witcher didn't have a very good heart.

"The good news is that, under the control of our purification organs, we were able to find out their share in one night. ”

This is indeed a very efficient execution, Lorenzo nodded.

"They are all remnants, remnants of the glorious war. ”

"Remnants?"

Lorenzo didn't understand how this had anything to do with the remnants.

"Yes, the remnants, because of historical reasons, although they live on the land of Invig, but in fact we do not get along with them, even if the policy advocates equal treatment, there are always people with hateful eyes. ”

This reminded Lorenzo of the baron, who, in the eyes of some of the people of Invig, was a normal thing to oppress the remnants.

Under this kind of contradiction, it gives many restless people an opportunity. ”

Merlin recounted.

"This is not the part of the purification agency, we only fight demons, there are other departments in this area, but we also know a lot because of our work, and the remnants of the south have recently been integrated, and the radicals among them have formed a terrorist organization against Invig. ”

"I guess those Gaulnalo people did it. ”

Lorenzo said that with the social status of the remnants and the poor economic resources, they could not do it to this extent unless someone was behind them to help them.

"In other words, these invaders are also members of that remnant terrorist group?"

Merlin nodded.

"That's right, in the south they launched several attacks against the nobles, which has attracted our attention, but we didn't expect them to be able to touch the old Dunling. ”

Lorenzo shook his head, and he corrected.

"Rather than expecting them to arrive in Old Dunling, what we really didn't expect was that they were on the side of Patriarch Lawrence. ”

"Imam Lawrence?"

Merlin's expression became serious for a moment, and he began to understand why Lorenzo was so cold, and it had something to do with Imam Lawrence.

"Does this have something to do with Imam Lawrence?"

The threat of Imam Lawrence is very high in the purification agency, and the countermeasures team has even made several plans for the possible harm caused by Imam Lawrence.

"Hmm. ”

Lorenzo nodded, and he said.

"If my inference is correct, it's all Patriarch Lawrence's backing...... His aim was Seleuc. ”

"Miss Stuart, what does he want to do?"

Merlin also looked very confused, if Imam Lawrence attacked the Phoenix house, he would be able to understand a little, but now he was completely confused.

"I don't know, if I knew, we wouldn't be so passive. ”

Lorenzo looked at Merlin with full vigilance, if Imam Lawrence could use erosion as a medium to invade the will of others at will, then these people who fought against demons in the purification mechanism could be invaded.

In other words, Imam Lawrence may invade at any time, and even Merlin in front of him may have been invaded, and it is Imam Lawrence who is talking to him now.

This was the most formidable enemy Lorenzo had ever faced.

"What's the other bad news for Merlin compared to Provost Lawrence?"

Lorenzo looked at Merlin's empty eyes, and said that there was really no bad news to touch Lorenzo.

"The bad news is that the two are already brain dead. ”

Merlin replied.

"Brain dead?"

This is a new word for Lorenzo.

Because of the evangelical mission, dissecting corpses was a blasphemous act, which greatly hindered the progress of modern medicine at the time.

In order to find out the truth about the human body, the profession of gravediggers was born in the environment of the time, they dug up the dead who had just been buried, marked the price, and sold them to hospitals to promote the progress of anatomy.

But even so, there is still little exploration of the human brain, which not only requires corpses, but also sometimes requires a large number of ** experiments.

Thinking about the experimental conditions of the perpetual pump, Lorenzo seemed to understand something.

"One of the words that we define death, which was discovered when studying anterior frontal lobectomy surgery, is the case when brain damage is too high.

Severe coma, spontaneous breathing and brainstem reversal loss. ”

Merlin tried to explain in terms that Lorenzo could understand.

"Under the action of external forces, ** can still live healthily, but it is only a piece that can breathe, and the soul in the body is dead. ”

"Consciousness is completely annihilated. ”

Lorenzo's eyes drooped slightly, thinking about this new knowledge.

Annihilation of consciousness...... Brain Death......

The two invaders looked hideous and terrifying in their last moments.

Hello......

The hoarse voice echoed in his ears), Lorenzo had a new idea, perhaps at that moment the two men were already dead, their minds were completely destroyed, so a new will stepped into it, and greeted himself with someone else's body from a long distance.

Imam Lawrence.

All the fingers were pointed at the mysterious renegade with the Holy Grail, and Lorenzo would not be surprised by whatever eerie abilities Laurence possessed.

After all, that's where the concept of demons comes from, where it all began.

After a deep breath, a great sense of powerlessness, there was a vengeful rage, which burned and drove Lorenzo to keep the soul of this Holy Advent soul on.

"So, you can't dig up any newspapers?"

"Not really, we'll investigate how they got into the old Dunling, there will always be some clues left for us, but it will definitely take a long time. ”

Merlin was confident in the execution of the purge mechanism, but when he looked at Lorenzo, the witcher seemed even more silent.

"Then Mr. Holmes, can you explain to me what this is all about, and how did the remnant Imam Lawrence, and the heir of Stuart, all come together?"

Lorenzo looked up at Merlin, and he said lightly.

"It's going to be a bit of a complicated story. ”

"It's okay, we still have a long time to spare. ”

Merlin said as he lifted the curtains, looking through the gap at the world outside the carriage, the vast industrial area gradually approaching, like a jungle of steel, and only he knew where they were about to arrive now.

Seeing this, Lorenzo hesitated slightly, but after hesitation he made a decision, now is not the time to hide the secret, he asked.

"Merlin, do you know [Gap]?"

Mysterious and weird something, it connects everyone.

Perhaps the master alchemist in front of him can answer something for himself.

Merlin shook his head at this, and the mysterious alchemist said slowly.

"Mr. Holmes, I'd like you to describe for me what that so-called gap is, after all, different countries have different cultures, and hunters who hunt demons have different terms. ”

Merlin leaned back in his chair and guided Lorenzo, a fine scholar, a mystical scholar.

"Maybe I know what a gap is, but in my knowledge, it's not called a gap. ”

"Just as in the eyes of some madmen, the monster of abhorrence is not called a demon, they see it as a ...... God. ”

The alchemist said with great meaning, as if to imply something.

If you like it, share it
