Sacrifice yourself, or kill others to save more...... In fact, this is a difficult question to come to a conclusion, and it is full of hypocritical dialects everywhere.

Lorenzo stared at Merlin quietly, he felt that he had underestimated this mysterious alchemist, and what he wanted to express was far heavier than Lorenzo had thought.

"I'm not saying you have to sacrifice yourself, Mr. Holmes, what I want is for you to make your own decisions, whether it's killing someone else, sacrificing yourself, or not taking any consequences for indifference, I don't care, what I care about is your own decision, what you do. ”

Merlin vetoed Lorenzo's words, and it was more of a moral debate than a question.

In fact, if you replace all these words a little, Merlin's meaning is extremely clear.

Will Lorenzo decide for the sake of all humanity lying on the tracks, either ignore the demon's train and run over it, or sacrifice others to block the demon's erosion, or put himself on the railroad track and fight the demon until the last moment.

For the sake of humanity, for the sake of eternal demonization, can Lorenzo break free from the shackles of morality, and even from his own shackles.

Lorenzo took a deep breath, he found the conversation interesting, and then said.

"I'll push that hapless guy onto the rails. ”

"You're saying you survived yourself and sacrificed others, right?"

The train whizzed by, and Lorenzo pushed the hapless man down, bloody.

The man was innocent, he did nothing wrong, the only thing that was wrong was because he was on Lorenzo's side, so he died.

But his death saved the rest of humanity and brought the demonic train to a halt, but was it really all that? Why was he the one who died, and why did he have to be sacrificed? No one asked his opinion, and he died.

Ethically speaking, Lorenzo killed that person and he made the decision for that person's fate.

Lorenzo nodded firmly, and Merlin on one end looked a little confused, and he asked.

"Sacrificing others to keep yourself alive, honestly Mr. Holmes, it's hard to think that you're a trustworthy person, but I think you have a reason why you made that choice, can you tell me?"

"Quite simply, because I'm more valuable. ”

Lorenzo's tone was extremely cold, and at the moment he was talking to Merlin very seriously.

"Since it is destined to sacrifice a person, then it is determined by the value, I live, that person dies. ”

"Then why do you think you're worth more than him?"

"Because I can make decisions. ”

Lorenzo said again, looking at Merlin and smiling disdainfully.

"Whether it's you or Arthur, or even the higher-ups who are hiding behind you, if you are put in this problem, you are also the one who pushes people off the tracks, and the person who is pushed off the tracks can be either Shrike or Lancelot. ”

"At the end of the day, it takes someone to make a decision, and someone needs to experience the pain and sin of the decision, and I feel that I am more fit to make a decision than to sacrifice myself. ”

"Decisive, cold, none, the person who makes the decision is like this, without any feeling, the so-called human life is only a numerical value, in order to pursue the greatest profit, with the least sacrifice, in exchange for the survival of the largest part of the people. ”

"So I need to survive, only someone like me can indifferently push one innocent person after another onto the railroad tracks, to maintain the continuity of humanity, the silence of the demons. ”

Lorenzo seemed to remember something, and then sneered.

"Instead of some bloody leader sacrificing himself one after another, that sounds great, but stupid. ”

There was a long silence.

The dead silence slowly clapped her hands, and the look in her eyes was like appreciation, but more like seeing her own kind.

Merlin spoke, the sound rubbing against each other like sharp metal.

"It's a very evil answer, it sounds like the villain in the story, but in fact it's the real reality, absolute reason, making absolute choices. ”

The hoarse laughter was like a flock of crows whispering in mourning, crying for the corpse lying on the railroad tracks.

"There are many times when righteous things do not bring good results, but there are many times when sin brings the greatest justice. ”

"You are now like an evil schemer, with chilling afterwords. ”

Lorenzo replied.

"But don't you too, the only difference between us is that in front of the tracks, we are full of people, as you say, the shrike, the kestrels, Galahad, Lancelot, etc., they are all victims who can be pushed down. ”

Merlin's hollow eyes were like a cage, reflecting Lorenzo in the darkness, as if he were trapped in the darkness.

"But you are different, Mr. Holmes, there is no one standing beside you by the tracks, you are alone, and you have no other way to go except to face the train bravely yourself. ”

"And that's the difference between us, as you said, we're a bunch of evil deciders behind the scenes who control the lives and deaths of others, and you're ...... You're the only one who is. ”

Lorenzo stretched out, his expression gradually melting, and the corners of his mouth raised.

"So you're asking these questions so much?"

"It's just a little curiosity, and it gives me a better idea of what kind of person you are. ”

Merlin looked directly at Lorenzo, his hollow eyes making it difficult for Lorenzo to tell if he was looking at him, which was unspeakably uneasy.

"What do you think. ”

"Not bad. ”

After looking at each other for a long time, Merlin said again.

"What do you think, Arthur, you don't like him, but he's the same kind of person as we are. ”

Merlin is confident in his opinion, no matter how bad or crazy people are, there is one thing that binds them, and for this group of people it is surprisingly consistent.

Devil.

As long as there are the same interests and purposes, then trust can naturally be relied upon.

Arthur didn't speak, just nodded faintly, so Merlin lifted a box from under the table, the solid iron cast, it looked very heavy, but under Merlin's somewhat sick body, it was lifted very easily, and then the buckle opened, and a faint cold air poured out from the gap in the box.

"In the past half a month, not only the demon has been active, but a new type of hallucinogen has become popular in the lower city, and there are some special products in these new hallucinogens, I think you will know if you try it. ”

Merlin rushed to the box and pulled out a hallucinogen, and the tiny droplets of water condensed on the surface, and Merlin swiped it off the table.

Lorenzo reached for it, the texture of the glass was extremely cold, and he didn't know why it was in a cryogenic box.

Lorenzo is no stranger to the hallucinogen, this thing is very serious in circulation in the lower city, and it is difficult for the official to rectify it several times, and even in the upper nobility circle of the old Dunling, this thing has also become popular.

During the fight with Sabo, Lorenzo accidentally ingested hallucinogens, which was a hellish sight, and it was difficult for a person to have normal judgment under that misleading hallucination.

Looking at the translucent liquid inside the container, Lorenzo soon noticed something unusual.

This thing was different from ordinary hallucinogens, Lorenzo had an inexplicable familiarity with it, and without waiting for Merlin to say anything, Lorenzo directly opened the hallucinogens and smoked a little.

There was a faint astringency, and after a few seconds Lorenzo felt his brain start to go gross, and not only that, his body became blazing, and then the alarm bell rang.

The Geiger index began to rise, and there was a sound of metal grinding in the darkness, as if iron scales were rubbing against each other, but before anything could happen, Arthur raised his hand into the darkness, and then the sound slowly fell silent, and disappeared along with the alarm bell.

He quietly watched Lorenzo's changes, but couldn't help but pick up the revolver under the table.

About five minutes passed, and Lorenzo looked up again, cold sweat running across his forehead, and his eyes were full of coldness.

"I think I know why you're so wary. ”

Seeing Lorenzo's reaction, Merlin smiled slightly, and it seemed that his speculation was correct.

"We don't know how long this thing has been circulating, it looks like the so-called hallucinogens are just a cover for this thing, and then you can see the effect, this thing is a little ......"

Arthur said solemnly, the previous destruction of the dungeon and the blocking of the plague doctor were actually for these, someone was using the old Dunling as an experimental field, and the purification mechanism did not know who he was at all.

"Like secret blood, I can feel it, to be precise, this hallucinogen is mixed with very rare inferior secret blood. ”

What a terrible secret, Lorenzo said coldly, looking at the two people across the round table.

"Someone is trying to reproduce the secret blood technique, and apparently he has achieved something, although it does not have the purity refined by the Order, but it can also be demonized steadily to a certain extent......"

Lorenzo suddenly remembered everything that had happened before, everything made sense, and the secret blood that demonized Sabo might have come from this, and the murderer of the torture and murder could basically be finalized as a person who could also be steadily demonized.

"That's why we're looking for you, it's clear that we're looking in the same direction, we're the first to discover this hallucinogen mixed with secret blood, it's circulating in very small amounts in the old Dunling, we didn't know what it was at first, and we were sure of it. ”

"In other words, there is an unknown organization that has achieved the reproduction of the secret blood, or in the old Dunling. ”

Lorenzo interrupted Arthur's words, and there was a look in his eyes that said, "What are you doing with the cleansing mechanism?"

Arthur avoided Lorenzo's defiant gaze as much as possible, and continued.

"We don't know, it's very chaotic right now, you see, our snooper system can't find those people, only when they're demonized, but there's a time lag between discovery and arrival at the scene, and we've almost always pounced. ”

"But sometimes there are exceptions, and the instability you mentioned can basically be confirmed, we hunted a demon before, according to what you said, he has lost his stability and cannot turn back into a human, but obviously it is difficult to find any clues on a runaway demon. ”

The newspapers of the two groups of people were put together, revealing a hideous appearance after the fog.

Lorenzo was silent and did not speak, and after a long time he spoke, but instead of answering Arthur's words, he whispered as if to convince himself.

"No one can reproduce the secret blood, no one can do it......"

That's a taboo from the book of Revelation, and even the evangelical church has spent endless hours taming this ferocious beast, let alone others who don't have it.

No one can do this unless......

Lorenzo's mind couldn't help but go back to that burning night.

On the night of Arrival, the surviving Eddard, the inferior Secret Blood, the new Pope, the re-formed Demon Hunting Order, and the Stagnant Saint ......

It was as if a storm had fallen on his mind and tore his thoughts apart, and he knew very well that there was a vague connection between these broken things, but Lorenzo couldn't tie them together, he couldn't.

Everything came to a standstill in an instant, and Lorenzo stared blankly ahead, and at some point another person sat next to Arthur, and Watson was there smiling at him.

So the only answer came to Lorenzo's mind.

I wasn't the only one who survived, and Ed was not the only one who survived, and many people escaped from the Seven Hills, many people, many people......

So to put it another way, only the Evangelical Church has the technology of the secret blood, is it possible that there are still people who are causing trouble in that burning night?

That's right, the night of Advent was a flashpoint for a huge conspiracy, so it's not impossible for a scholar with secret blood technology in his head to escape, right?

The source of the secret blood in the old Dunling, the mysterious man behind Eddard, and the lost sacred coffin.

At the end of the operation in Endtown, all demons were eliminated, but only the sacred coffin, which no one had ever seen, was nowhere to be found......

It seemed that a large net hung over the whole of Old Dunling, and Lorenzo felt that his breath was heavier than he had ever been.

"So what do you want me to do?"

Lorenzo seemed to be speaking to Arthur, as if he were asking Watson next to him.

So he replied.

"We want to hire you to serve the Purifier Agency, just as you are the Outside Detective of the Sualan Hall. ”

Arthur said slowly, putting aside those hellish personal grudges, Lorenzo was one of the few experts in the old Dunling when it came to hunting demons.

"These are the documents about these events, and Joey will take care of the rest of the formalities for you after you leave......"

"Don't you ask me if I agree?"

At the critical moment, Lorenzo suddenly asked indifferently, but this time Arthur was uncharacteristically not angry, he just said lightly.

"Mr. Holmes, you are of our kind, and your only long-cherished wish is to be a demon. ”

His eyes were blank and he looked at him.

"Even if I don't invite you, you'll hunt them down to the ends of the earth, won't you?"

Lorenzo took the document that had slipped from the round table, opened the first page, and smiled.

"Is this the code name for the whole case?"

"Yes, the most active demon is the one you pursued earlier, and if our guess is correct, he shouldn't be dead yet. ”

"Brutal killing, bloody handwriting...... These are his characteristics. ”

"So it's called the study of blood letters?"

"Any questions?"

"It's fine. ”

Lorenzo looked at the file and said slowly.

"I love the name. ”
