Thick dark clouds rolled over the old Dunling, and it was daylight, but no light could penetrate the gloomy Iron Curtain, dragging the entire city, and indeed the whole world, into darkness.

The entire operation of the old Dunling came to a halt today, the galloping wind and the terrible rain converged, and the old Dunling ushered in this suffocating and oppressive storm in the lightning and thunder.

Under the storm, there is no longer a trace of living people on the streets, even the factory that is non-stop around the clock has chosen to rest at this moment, the voice of the host on the radio has become intermittent, and a few words comfort the citizens and let everyone enjoy this rare holiday.

Although the apocalyptic atmosphere echoed over the city, people were not afraid, but rejoiced, and on this unexpected holiday, people and families sat by the fireplace in their living rooms, listening to the howling wind and enjoying the warmth of home.

But this kind of warmth is not something that everyone can have, there is a figure in the rainstorm struggling to move forward, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, like a deadly storm, the majestic rain curtain makes people have a sense of drowning suffocation, in this difficult environment, the figure is difficult to reach the shadow of a building, temporarily avoiding the cold rain curtain.

"That's terrible......"

Merlin gasped and sat down slowly against the wall, the once mysterious alchemist completely drenched and embarrassed.

There was a chaotic sound of gunfire through the rain curtain, and there was a faint sound of monsters roaring, and the entire Black Mountain Hospital was caught in the flames of war under the torrential rain, erosion interfered with communications, and the rain screen obscured the vision, and everything seemed extremely bad now, and no one knew what would happen next.

But at least for now, Merlin is safe, and with Arthur's orders, both he and Abigail evacuate in different ways to preserve their strength as much as possible.

Despite his assurances to Arthur, Merlin's evacuation was not safe and efficient, and after lifting Lorenzo out of the cage, the somewhat sick alchemist showed his strength as a man, and he carried Lorenzo all the way out of the research area.

It may be the reason for the heavy rain, or it may be the reason why there are only two people with a small target, Merlin unexpectedly did not encounter demons along the way, and he originally thought that he could use this opportunity to refamiliarize himself with the swordsmanship that he had not used for many years.

However, judging from the fierce sound and the erosion that is still spreading, the battle situation this time is probably extremely tragic, coupled with the current meteorological environment and the impact of erosion, Merlin needs to leave the affected area as soon as possible and mobilize troops.

Looking at the rainstorm beyond the shadows, the whole world seemed to be dragged into the deep sea.

The Black Mountain Hospital was too big, and with the heavy rain obscuring his view, he wasn't sure how far he was from the borders of the Black Mountain Hospital, let alone carrying an overweight witcher.

Lorenzo's weight was much higher than normal due to the silver bolt he carried, which made it difficult for Merlin, a scientist, to carry it, but it was nothing, it reminded him of his apprenticeship days, when he carried alchemy materials, and the scene was very similar to now.

The teacher fought with other alchemists with a sword in the back, and he ran all the way with the precious alchemy materials on his shoulder.

Merlin laughed as he thought about it, he couldn't have imagined that he would be able to think back to the old days in this way, and it was quite funny to think about it.

He was as relaxed as he could, Merlin wasn't safe yet, and he was going to get Lorenzo out of here as soon as possible, when the other man who had fallen against the wall finally reacted slightly.

Lorenzo slowly opened his eyes, and like Merlin, he was doused like a chicken in soup, his pale blonde hair sticking to his face, as if he had just been fished out of the sea, and judging by his somewhat confused and sad eyes, this guy must have jumped into the sea by himself.

"Merlin ......"

Looking at the alchemist in front of him, Lorenzo looked confused, he remembered that he was in a birdcage, and as the machine started, he was somehow trapped in the memory palace.

He looked around, a little puzzled by what was going on, why he was here, and what was going on with the embarrassed alchemist in front of him.

As Lorenzo was about to say something, the memories flooded back his mind again, and as the second door in the palace of memories opened, Lorenzo remembered many things, things that he had forgotten for some reason, things that made people feel frightened and confused.

But before he had time to think about it, there was an extreme cold on his body, and a tearing pain in his mind.

He looked in pain, but was injected with Florent's potion by Merlin, and the potion spread throughout his body, relieving him a lot of pain and becoming much more conscious.

"Merlin, I remember, those demons ......"

After a brief moment of distraction, Lorenzo remembered the important information and was ready to share it with Merlin, but as soon as he said it, he did not dare to continue to tell it.

Both Shermans and Lorenzo Medici mentioned a similar concept, the one called Border.

The Boundary is like a delicate and mysterious birdcage that exists in all human cognitions, and once someone becomes aware of the existence of the Border, or discovers information beyond the Border, they will attract strange silencers.

And the so-called Silent One is the sealed [Holy Grail], the blood of the Holy Grail and the flesh of the Holy Grail are all derived from the strange existence of the Silent One.

Lorenzo was a little afraid to continue, remembering that the battle was deeply terrifying, but now that he thought about it, it was all Lorenzo Medici's conspiracy, and he had prepared to face the Silencers in that dry well, so he summoned the Chandal Witchers and deliberately told him about the Border, so as to attract the Silencers.

Therefore, he was able to fill the entire dry well with the blood of the precious Holy Grail and complete the divine ascension.

But the old man died in the end, like some dark fate that had been predestined for a long time, and the Silent One would kill him by any means necessary, even if he had made so many preparations and struggled to resist it.

So...... What about yourself?

Lorenzo lowered his head slowly, his pale face reflected in the water.

Memory can't be wrong, I'm 042, I've always existed, but ...... But...... Why do they all call themselves 047?

Looking at that familiar face, Lorenzo couldn't help but laugh, but there was unspeakable fear and sadness in that laughter, he seemed to know what all this was about, but he didn't dare to think about it anymore, he could only deliberately forget it, and didn't dare to face it.

"Lorenzo!"

Looking at the crying and laughing detective, Merlin suddenly shouted.

"Wake up! Lorenzo, listen carefully!"

Seeing Lorenzo wake up, Merlin didn't care what he was trying to say, and was ready to say what he had researched before.

Merlin ...... By the way, what's going on?"

Lorenzo only then remembered the strangeness of the current situation, and at the same time he felt the erosion that shrouded him, oppressive and terrifying, as if he was in the midst of some demonic battlefield.

"Leave that alone and listen to me. ”

Merlin interrupted Lorenzo again, forcing him to look at him, and for the first time in that empty gaze, Lorenzo felt a little emotion flowing through this strange body, and there was a lot of excitement and ...... Fear.

"Do you remember that demon that gets hot?"

As if afraid that Lorenzo had forgotten, he added, "It's the demon that got out of control inside the Perpetual Pump, and the heat destroyed everything in its path. ”

Hearing him say this, Lorenzo remembered that demon, that strange demon.

If Lorenzo remembers correctly, the demon was a man named Horner before he was alienated, he participated in the attack on the Salicado banquet and was subdued by Arthur, and the Perpetual Pump wanted to study it, but for some unknown reason during the study, the demonization suddenly intensified, and then he became the fiery demon.

"Horner ......"

Lorenzo whispered the name he had nearly forgotten, and he suddenly remembered the strange gap.

If there is a certain turning point in Lorenzo's mental state, in addition to the resurrection of the dead in the Black Angel, it is also an extremely important point when killing Horner.

Lorenzo remembered all that, at the end of the battle with the fiery demon, Lorenzo seemed to step into the [gap] of Horner, and killed him there, killing him mentally, and then the fiery demon died, without breaking his heart or cutting off his head, and just like that.

After that, Lorenzo's consciousness fell into a fainting, and Horner's memories flashed back and forth in his mind, but in the following time, Lorenzo gradually forgot about it, and only remembered it when he mentioned it.

"What's wrong?"

Lorenzo asked, it had been a long time since that incident, and he didn't understand what Merlin was doing when he brought it up.

Merlin's voice was full of excitement, but his face remained deadly calm.

"Don't you think there's a lot of the nature of that demon...... Isn't it similar?"

"Like what?"

"Mighty Michael. ”

The blazing white fireworks were instantly released in Lorenzo's mind, and in the impact of the extreme heat and heat wave, he seemed to see that face again, and Ed swung his flaming sword with anger and launched a final attack on Lorenzo.

Not giving Lorenzo time to think at all, Merlin continued, with a rush he had never felt before, the sane alchemist showing madness at this moment.

"Lorenzo I have always had a strange sense of fear, as if I was studying something terrible, and I studied it secretly for a long time by myself in order not to let others be affected by me.

You witchers will also have their own powers after demonization, right, become a monster with powers, but that Horner is different, he was originally just an ordinary person, and he became a demon due to the loss of control of inferior secret blood, it can be said that he has not been guided by the alchemy matrix, nor has he undergone enough stable secret blood implantation, but his performance when he finally lost control is so similar to that of Mighty Michael. ”

Merlin continued, anxious to tell all the secrets hidden in his heart, as if he would die in the next second, and these secrets would die with him.

"I suddenly remembered what you said to me before, according to the record of the Book of Revelation, the power of the demon hunter is to direct the secret blood through the alchemy matrix, so as to obtain that extraordinary authority, a single power will bring erosion when guiding, and at the same time, the power of guiding multiple will directly cause the target to be alienated into a demon.

Demon hunters and demons are of the same origin, so does it mean that power is also like this?"

Lorenzo froze, as if another terrible secret was slowly unfolding before his eyes, a direction that no one had ever thought of, and that [boundary] had been restricting people's search for those secrets until someone accidentally broke through its shackles.

"Based on the collection of demon types in our purification mechanism over the years, we can find that those strange demons are more or less similar to the powers of your demon hunters, such as the illusion of the nightmare that makes people fall into illusions, and the stomach chewing grass that grows like a red thread...... Plus that runaway burning demon. ”

"What exactly are you trying to say. ”

Lorenzo looked at Merlin, he understood why Merlin was telling him this, the alchemist had discovered a terrible secret, but no one seemed to be able to afford to explore it except Lorenzo.

"[Gap], the [gap] shuttle that Lawrence can do, what if this is also a kind of power?" Merlin asked.

"Gabriel ......"

In the face of Merlin's words, Lorenzo whispered, an extremely cold wind blowing across the cheeks of the two of them, as if a pair of cold and invisible hands were touching them.

Merlin's body trembled slightly, he didn't understand a little, and then asked.

"What did you say? Lorenzo. ”

"[Gap] shuttle is a power called Gabriel. Lorenzo said.

"You...... Do you remember something?"

Lorenzo nodded stiffly, and then he put his hand on Merlin's shoulder, warning him.

"You're right, Merlin, knowledge is cursed, you're about to touch the border, don't continue......"

He admonished the alchemist in front of him, but then Lorenzo was terrified by his words.

Yes, this is why everything about this secret has not been handed down, those who know are not only hunted by the Silencer, they themselves refuse to pass on this knowledge, because it is a curse, the more people who know, the more people will die, and they erase all knowledge related to the Boundary in order to protect those who come after them.

So, are those who refuse to reveal their secrets protecting us?

Lorenzo felt an unspeakable irony for a moment, but then Merlin spoke again.

"No, no, no, Lorenzo listen to me!"

Merlin didn't know the so-called [boundary], and he stared at Lorenzo, suppressing his emotions and growling.

"If the power of a demon hunter can be manifested in a specific way in the body of a demon, such as the illusion of nightmares, such as the burning demon alienated by Horner.

And what about the so-called power Gabriel?

What kind of demon does this weird and terrifying power correspond to?"

Merlin discovered the Border, and he vaguely felt that strange fear and oppression, and he wanted to pass this information on many times, but he instinctively felt fear, as if doing so would lead to some kind of irreparable error, and he could only keep it back until he confided in Lorenzo.

Everything stems from the secret blood of sin, and from here all the evils of the worlds are born.

That's what Merlin wanted to say to Lorenzo, and Lorenzo froze in place, the only thing left in his ears was the roar of the storm.

The pupils of his eyes constricted, his expression was complicated, he didn't know whether it was fear or joy, his hands trembled slightly, and he whispered in a voice that Merlin couldn't hear.

"The Silencer ......"

All those who know are killed, and the survivors are afraid of the curse of this knowledge, refusing to pass on this deadly information, humanity has never really understood the current state of the world, and everyone is bound by the invisible [Border] like domestic animals, and those strange beings are like guards, defending the [Border].

Remain silent, and the silence endures.

The pupils of his eyes constricted, Lorenzo's expression was complicated, he didn't know whether it was fear or joy, his hands trembled slightly,
