The light of the sky stretched the shadows into thin lengths, like sharp knives, cutting everything into countless pieces, which were scattered and trampled by Gloria at will.

She rubbed her eyes, trying her best to avoid revealing her vulnerable side, her steps were light and without making a sound, easily avoiding the patrolling guards, like a gust of wind that could not be grasped.

"Are you leaving?"

A voice broke the silence, and Gloria turned her head to see a familiar figure looking at her not far away, with a bag in his hand, a look of exhaustion and sorrow.

She felt that few people could see through her own concealment, but it was clear that it was of no use to this guy, and perhaps he would be aware of his existence from a few tens of meters away.

"Mr. Holmos. ”

Gloria stopped and smiled at him, she didn't expect to meet Lorenzo again at the end, and Gloria thought she would never see him again.

"yes, it's time for me to leave. Gloria replied to Lorenzo's words.

"So where are you going?"

Lorenzo asked, and as he spoke, he walked over and stood beside Gloria, leaning against the railing, and behind the stairs below was a warm garden, with a sweet scent in the wind.

"I don't know, I don't know where I'm going, I can't stop, can I? ”

"Well, it's too cruel to leave without saying a word. ”

Lorenzo said as he looked at the building, remembering that behind one of the windows was the kestrel's room.

"I have a good goodbye, and I can still do that. ”

As if she knew what Lorenzo was thinking, Gloria looked there and replied with a smile.

The conversation between the two fell into a brief silence, after which Lorenzo asked tentatively.

"Actually, you can stay, the kestrel seems to like you. ”

"What about Ivar?"

Gloria asked directly, looking at Lorenzo, her smile slowly turning into helplessness.

"A lot of things are like this, although it is said that it is a good solution, although it is said that whether it is you or other people will not care, but I can't, I can't not care, these things are like alarm bells that keep ringing in my ears.

Sometimes I can see my hands covered in blood, and the dead digging through the soil and crawling out of the burning hell, dragging me to lead me into the darkness. ”

There was a hint of fear in Gloria's voice, and she wanted to stay, but she couldn't.

"So...... What do you think yourself? Are you afraid of the judgment of the dead, to excuse yourself, or something else? ”

Lorenzo's tone changed slightly, like a mentor considering his apprentice.

"How is that possible? you will be punished for doing something wrong, whether there is a god in this world or not," Gloria said and bowed her head, "I can't forgive myself yet, I'm going to find a way to redeem myself, maybe everything will be fine after that, whether I can be saved or not, at least I've tried." ”

"So what are you going to do?"

Lorenzo asked, examining Gloria.

"I don't know yet, that's the worst thing, if I'm going to be punished, I'm willing to bear it, but until it happens, I want to live for something greater, but I don't know what that thing is, and I don't know what to do...... I might be able to start with a good life. ”

Gloria looked troubled, and her words were sincere, which softened Lorenzo's gaze.

The atmosphere was a little more harmonious, and Gloria looked up at Lorenzo's eyes, their gray-blue eyes were like a calm sea of ice, and below them was a deep darkness.

"If I don't answer to your satisfaction, are you going to kill me?"

Lorenzo did not deny it, he replied.

"I had such thoughts, but it has nothing to do with your answer. ”

Gloria guessed why, she didn't know if it was an honor or a bad luck.

"Because I've seen your [gap], I know too much, right? I still know that, but I was a member of the Iron Law Bureau before. ”

Lorenzo nodded, not saying anything more.

"So I'm still alive, did you give up killing me?" can I know why?" asked Gloria.

There was a pause in the words, and Lorenzo pondered carefully.

"Anyway, everybody has very few friends, and it's so boring to kill you for such a reason, and it's not bad to think that there might be someone else in this world who really knows him. ”

Lorenzo turned to lean on the railing and looked out at the garden below, where he used to play cards with Kestrel Eve when he was here not long ago.

Gloria was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

"Is that the reason?"

"Or else?"

Erin...... No, Gloria, I think everyone should have a second chance, a chance to start over, it won't wash away the wrong things you've done, the evil deeds you've committed, but it will give you a little more value in your cheap life, even if you're punished at the end. ”

Lorenzo turned his head and said solemnly.

"Will you be punished, then? Mr. Holmos. ”

Of course, we are all wicked, and the wicked are destined to be punished, even for the sake of righteousness. ”

Lorenzo said as he reached into the bag, finally pulling out a stack of photographs and handing one to Gloria.

"Captain Renette mailed us, this guy unexpectedly survived the disaster. ”

Gloria took the photo, and there were familiar faces on it.

"So that's what you're coming back for?"

"More than that. Gloria, if you really don't know what to do and where to go, I have a suggestion for you. ”

Lorenzo said, gesturing to the back of Gloria's photo.

"You can follow the address and look there, maybe the way to salvation is there. ”

Gloria flipped over the photo, which had already been written with an address, and she looked at Lorenzo with some surprise.

"You've already guessed that?"

"Sort of, because I'm the one who knows you best. ”

Lorenzo waved his hand and smiled goodbye to Gloria.

"Well, goodbye. ”

There were no pretentious words, Lorenzo said goodbye to her very calmly, and disappeared from sight soon after, Gloria looked at the photo in her hand, and her depressed mood fluctuated slightly, maybe her path was here.

......

Pushing open the door, as expected, the kestrel was sitting on the bed, and like a patient in a trance, he saw Lorenzo, and the lost soul returned to its shell.

"Luo ...... Lorenzo: Why did you come back?"

Lorenzo walked over to the bed and sat down casually.

"Why can't I come back...... What about the others?"

Listening to Lorenzo's words, the kestrel still felt a little strange.

"Gone, Hybold is going back to the Vikings to report the situation, and Eve is allowed to be discharged from the hospital," Kestrel said, looking at Hercule on the side, "This guy is the same as before, and he is still talking to Poirot, I thought he was too noisy, so I let him sleep for a while." ”

"Is that so? It's not a good thing that I'm back, I'm here to take you away, Arthur thinks you've rested too long, even if the injury hasn't healed, it's okay to do clerical work, right?"

Lorenzo said as he rummaged through the bag.

"Now the situation is very serious, what we did in the port of Marury has been designated as a terrorist attack, now it is just that the official Gallinaro did not name us as doing it, as for all the evidence on our side is also ready, just wait for the big people to say a word, and the war will start. ”

Lorenzo said as he felt a headache himself.

"Worse is the Orthodox Church, which established their new pope, and that new pope is Lawrence, and now that the madman has officially come out of the background, Migel's death has also provoked the anger of the Orthodox faithful...... Even more bizarre about these actions was the reaction of the Evangelical Church, which supposedly had gotten the news, but the Seven Hills had not made any statement. ”

The more I talked, the more headaches I had, and the whole world was like pressing the accelerator button, moving frantically, intensifying all the contradictions, mixing interests and conspiracies, and finally turning into a raging fire.

Lorenzo was not so worried about the war as he had been having nightmares for the past few days, seeing countless demons emerge and conquer city after city until the glow of humanity was completely annihilated.

That's the end as Lawrence sees it.

After saying this, Lorenzo looked at the kestrel on the side, this guy looked dumbfounded, as if he didn't hear his words at all.

"By the way, Erin left, too, and she ...... She ......"

Sure enough, this guy didn't listen to himself at all, he was immersed in his own world all the time.

Kestrel was a little confused for a while, and he didn't know what to say about that weird feeling.

She suddenly said a bunch of inexplicable things, and then left, she's a criminal! Is this a prison escape? No, this is not a prison. ”

Kestrels' brain capacity obviously couldn't support him to think about such complex things, and his words were completely out of logic.

"She also asked me to call her Gloria...... Is her name Gloria?"

The kestrel asked Lorenzo.

Lorenzo shook his head, his eyes a little helpless and a little pitiful.

"Who knows? The woman was like a cloud of gray smoke, as Haybold said, and no one knew her real name...... Maybe Gloria is her real name, and Ireen is just a disguise? ”

Lorenzo knew, but he didn't feel the need to explain it to the kestrels, the answers to such questions didn't matter.

"Is that so......"

For some reason, strange emotions grew, and the kestrel couldn't help but think of that rather beautiful afternoon.

It was as if something had been touched in his heart, and he suddenly came to his senses.

"If you say...... Gloria was her real name, so she didn't lie to me that afternoon, did she?

Kestrel stumbled in words, and suddenly everything seemed to be smooth, and he was a little caught off guard for a while, if you look at it this way, Gloria didn't lie to herself, that beautiful afternoon was real, and Gloria was real at that time, it wasn't some conspiracy or trickery, it was just a just right afternoon......

"I don't know, you'll have to ask her personally. ”

Lorenzo repeated his previous words.

"Yes, ask her personally...... But she left, Lorenzo. ”

Kestrel looked terrified again, and he remembered what Gloria had told him earlier.

The meeting and parting of people is always wonderful, you don't know what the hell you will meet in what hell place, you don't know that you will be separated from her at a beautiful moment, maybe a casual glance will be the last time you see her.

That's why Gloria looked at herself like that, she was leaving, she might never meet again, that's why she looked at herself like that, as if she was going to remember it forever.

"You look terrible. ”

Lorenzo looked at the kestrel with a lonely expression, although he had expected it, but he really saw the kestrel like this...... It can't be said to be quite interesting, only that it is complicated.

That's probably the kind of person that's it.

"Actually, I'm wondering, Gloria said she likes Saker at Night, and I think we're quite similar to the people in the story, so will she like me too?"

The kestrel began to understand the strange emotion, but unfortunately realized it too late.

"You'll have to ask her yourself, I don't know. ”

Lorenzo repeated the phrase again and handed the photo over.

"One for each person, I hope you don't lose it. ”

Kestrel took the photo, it was a group photo at that time, and he slightly raised his spirit when he saw this, this is not the last one.

"Gloria, are you really that hard to figure out......"

He whispered.

"I know you have a lot of whining and wants to talk about, but I still think it's better to get past what is going to happen than those things. ”

Lorenzo walked up to Kestrel and sat down with him.

"You know, you're not retired yet, Kestrel Spirit, you still have a mission to fulfill. ”

Patting the kestrel vigorously on the shoulder, he continued.

"War is coming, and each of us is righteous, and you can only ask her in person if you survive. ”

Lorenzo imagines the future, the worst of all.

"So what are you going to do next?Lorenzo, you realize the conspiracy and find yourself being used, and I think you're already in a rage, and maybe you're going to kill the Platinum Palace tomorrow and blow the Queen's head off with one shot. ”

Kestrel asked, blankly and emotionlessly.

Lorenzo smiled and shook his head.

"What's next? You may not believe it. I'm going to...... Save the world, after saving the world, there will be no need for knights, you will retire, and then go to her and ask her personally. ”

"Save the world?"

"Yes, save the world. ”

......

With the sound of the whistle, the train slowly moved away from the city, and after the water vapor dissipated, the woman came to the middle of nowhere, and not far away a bell rang, behind the scattered buildings, children ran among the grass.

It's a wonderful world, and it deserves to be saved.
