Witnessed by the stars, the surging cold wind swept up the snow and dust, gently scraping Lorenzo's cheek.

"Is Lawrence really dead?"

Lorenzo questioned, and he questioned himself.

Watson was silent for a long time, leaning back in her chair, not in a hurry to answer Lorenzo's words.

"I haven't been back here in a long time...... I thought you wouldn't let me into your gap. Watson said.

"Why do you think so?"

Lorenzo asked, since he retrieved his memories, the secrets between him and Watson had almost been revealed.

"Because you are fragile in the gap, if I kill you here, I will have everything at my disposal, and you will turn this place into the strongest fortress, Lorenzo. Watson watched him.

"You can't fall yet, the Scabbard Treaty is still being enforced, and the golden age has not yet arrived. ”

Scabbard Treaty.

Lorenzo muttered the word.

Sometimes he felt like he knew everything, and sometimes he felt that Watson was still hiding something from him.

But that didn't matter now, and it was at this point that Watson continued.

"Aren't you curious where I went after the separation?"

"Curious, but would you say?" asked Lorenzo rhetorically.

Watson was similar to herself, but different, she also possessed the power of Gabriel, but she was far more powerful than Lorenzo, and on that night of Advent she was far more complete than Lorenzo, and thus completely abandoned her cowardly body and incarnated an invisible will.

She is a ghost, a ghost who wanders the world.

This time Watson didn't mean to tease him, but spoke seriously.

"I've been getting acquainted with this power since I left, I've eroded a lot, I've taken over a lot of people's bodies, I've spied into the deepest secrets of their minds, and they've got nothing to hide in my eyes. ”

Watson stretched out his hand and looked at his white, slender palm.

"It's been a long time since I've observed myself, and to be precise, I don't have any fixed form to speak of, and now I pretend to be this one, but I'm the most familiar with it. ”

As Watson spoke, her appearance changed rapidly, countless faces overlapped, and finally Watson reverted to his original form.

"It's a ...... It's a strange feeling, have you tried to corrupt others with the power Gabriel?"

Watson pinched her face, and although she had been in this form for a long time, the part of being human still made her feel uneasy and puzzled by all this.

Lorenzo nodded, and he replied.

"I have just corrupted a man, invaded his [gap], broken his will, snooped on all his secrets. ”

"How does it feel?" Watson said.

"What do you mean?" Lorenzo didn't know what she was asking.

"That's it...... Some uncomfortable feeling, feeling like I'm becoming something else, something else inhuman. ”

Watson spoke of his distress and confusion.

"Humans can't invade other people's minds, in fact, it seems that both of us have become some kind of inhuman monsters.

It's like you were a human yesterday and you're a ferocious wolf today, you think you're a human, but you don't have the nimble limbs of humans, you only have sharp fangs, you try to communicate with humans, but they don't understand your roar and are terrified of it. ”

Watson paused halfway through, as if she was thinking about how to explain this to Lorenzo.

"You've turned into a monster, but you're still thinking like a human, and the contradiction between the two haunts you......"

"Do you think you're a human being, or a monster, Watson?"

Hearing this, Lorenzo's expression did not fluctuate much.

"I wish I was a human being, but everything that exists reminds me that I have been [sublimated] into some kind of higher being. ”

Watson's voice was flat, she no longer felt hungry, she didn't feel pain, she didn't even have a physical body anymore.

Listening to Watson's confession, Lorenzo seemed to think of something, but he didn't say it, under the gray blue eyes, there was also a little confusion and entanglement, and sometimes he didn't know the rights and wrongs of all this, like a lost lamb.

"Did you encounter the dregs?" asked Watson again.

"I've been tracking down information about [borders], but as we know, the information is blocked, it's slow, very slow, and sometimes I need to use some means to get to the information I need.

I have destroyed many people's [gaps], dominating their bodies and snooping into their secrets. ”

Watson's expression looked a little distressed.

"That's the price of power, Lorenzo, the residue is accumulating more and more, I can feel it, it's affecting me little by little. ”

Countless broken souls, countless wills, they are intertwined and mixed together.

"It's like having a split personality. ”

Watson was a little helpless, this is the price of power, just like secret blood, over-relying on this forbidden power, the price is to become the same vicious demon.

"I'm fine, I haven't accumulated much residue, but as long as I keep chasing like this, it will always accumulate. ”

Lorenzo was well aware of the situation and he continued.

"Me too, in fact, sometimes I have the illusion that I have changed......"

"Changed?"

"Like you said, although I think I am human, human beings have always had an unchangeable inferiority, and my will may be strong, but there will always be moments when I loosen. ”

Lorenzo recalls the feeling of encroaching on others, the power of control over everything, as if he were a walking god, the master of the world.

"I feel like I'm getting cold-blooded and cruel, that extreme coldness.

I feel that I have become a shepherd, and that the human beings in front of me are nothing more than lambs in my pasture, objects that can be used by me at my disposal, and I can use them to achieve my own ends, but sometimes I am bound by the human part, the part of the lamb.

It's like using human law and morality to bind a god...... Or rather, monsters. ”

The power is both intoxicating and terrifying.

"It's a test, Watson, far beyond the test of the Secret Blood, I can keep myself alive in the erosion, but I'm not sure I'll be addicted to it. ”

Lorenzo thought for a moment and said.

"I hope I can hold on, I don't want to be like that. ”

The cold wind gradually stopped, and the ice field in front of him gradually became clear, full of loneliness and cold, and under such an empty world, there were only two people on the bench.

"So...... What is the Silencer?"

Watson asked suddenly.

"I've been tracking it for a long time...... In fact, I had encountered the Silencers before that. ”

"Where?" Lorenzo became anxious at the hearing.

Based on the available information, Lorenzo's quest for the origin of demons is in an interesting situation.

He knew very well where the clues were, the strange beings known as the Silencers, and the [Border] guarded by them, but Lorenzo couldn't find them...... No, Lorenzo didn't dare to look for it, he knew very well that as soon as he crossed the [border], those monsters would appear.

And then what?

Can you defeat them yourself? What will happen after that? Another Night of Arrival?

Lorenzo was strong, but sometimes he felt weak, and he knew very well that the door to truth was in front of him, but he did not dare to gamble everything on it.

"That's what I want to tell you, even if you don't call me, I'll be in touch with you in a while. ”

Watson reminisced about her previous actions, and she returned to her homeland, where she witnessed all the strange things.

"The new pope.

The new pope was being hunted by the Silencer, and I infiltrated the Sanctuary of Silence and happened to witness it, the Silencer appeared out of thin air and tried to kill the new pope, but in the end it failed, and I didn't understand why this was happening at first, but now the clues are much clearer. ”

Watson said as he looked at Lorenzo, his eyes solemn.

"What does the new Pope know, he has crossed [the border], and what is even more strange is that he is still alive, surviving the attacks of the Silencers again and again. ”

"The New Pope...... Who is he?"

At the mention of the new Pope, Lorenzo couldn't help but think of the dead Shermans, who had been pious all his life, but finally died in anger, constantly cursing the new Pope and treating him as a heretic.

"Compared to who he is, the identity of another guy is more interesting. ”

Watson continued.

"Going back to the previous topic, is Lawrence really dead? ”

The incident was again connected to Lawrence, and Lorenzo listened attentively to Watson's every word.

"But, rather than I explain it in words, let you see it for yourself, Lorenzo. ”

Watson suddenly reached out and pressed Lorenzo's head.

"It's true that we're changing, we're becoming monsters that we can't even tell, but at least, at least from the bottom of my heart, I still think I'm human. ”

Lorenzo didn't resist, and let Watson get close to him, and through the gap between his fingers, Lorenzo could see her growing color.

"May we all die as human beings. ”

As he spoke, the entire gap froze, and the snow dust froze in the air, each reflecting the starlight in the night sky, like a condensed jewel.

The stagnation ended, and Lorenzo's [gap] shattered, and a huge rift pierced through the heavens and the earth, engulfing the two people on the bench.

The picture in the field of vision changes rapidly, until everything turns into deep darkness, and at the end of the darkness is a little burning glimmer of light, one memory fragment after another, Watson's memory.

Lorenzo was dragged into Watson's gap, and the next moment a flood of memories drowned him.

Without words, Lorenzo felt as if he had returned to that time, and felt the battle that took place in the Stagnant Temple.

Before he could think about it, Lorenzo saw the angel that came out of thin air with the beating arc of electricity, and the new pope who wielded his sword in front of the angel.

This was the past that had already happened, Lorenzo felt a strange call, he slowly turned his head, his gaze swept over the dark corners, the darkness was slowly creeping, Lorenzo could see that it was Watson at that time.

But it's not just these guys, there's another guy here.

Lorenzo saw him, the man covered in blood and his expression full of panic.

No, it's not him.

Lorenzo understood why Watson had let him see this with his own eyes, he could feel Watson's emotions at the moment, and everything that was going on here.

Beneath this skin in front of me lies another soul.

Another Gabriel's soul.

In all these long years, those who possessed the power Gabriel could have attained so-called eternal life, so where did they go? Did they really exist?

Could they have appeared here so coincidentally?

If not......

“...... You're not dead, are you?"

Lorenzo reached out and violently tore open the panicked face in front of him, as if shattering a mask, and behind this flesh mask was another mask covered in blood.

The mask that Lorenzo had seen in the man's memory, the being known as the Imam.

"Imam Lawrence. ”

......

The pressure of the erosion and expansion did not last long, and at one point it suddenly collapsed, and the tension in the room was finally relieved.

Eve let out a long sigh, she didn't know what Lorenzo was doing, but from his serious look, Lorenzo wasn't joking this time.

The kestrel finally let down his vigilance slightly, the continuous events were a headache, the tense nerves relaxed, and he not only felt a wave of exhaustion and sleepiness.

Thinking about it carefully, life has changed so quickly these days, a few days ago he was fishing and chatting with the woman named Gloria, but today the woman is lying in front of him covered in blood, and she is not an ordinary person, Gloria is just her disguise, she is Erin Adler.

Kestrel couldn't figure out whether she was an enemy or a friend, and he felt that the beautiful encounter of the previous day was like a trap, a beautiful lie.

For a moment, he had a sense of anger that he was being teased.

But at this moment, a murmur of pain sounded, and the woman sat up slowly, her movements were a little sluggish, probably because of the pain, and she gasped.

Kestrel was stunned, but fortunately, he had a lot of work experience, he reacted instantly, raised his pistol and pointed it at the woman, and before he could speak, the woman opened her mouth first.

"Mr. Moon?"

Erin asked.

The words came to her lips and she held them back, and Kestrel couldn't understand how Erin recognized herself, obviously hiding in a dark corner.

The kestrel wanted to open her mouth to warn her, saying that she had been controlled, confessing leniency and resisting strictness or something.

But before Erin could stand up, she fell down again, and the whole person rolled down, her head hit the ground, and her voice was crisp.

The kestrel was stunned, and then the ghost cried wolf.

"Ship Doctor!"
