Demon Hunters...... They are all witchers, witchers from Emerald Jade.

His heart began to beat faster, his muscles tensed, and Lorenzo maintained his apparent calm, but inside he was a huge wave.

He had thought that he might face these witchers from the Emerald Jade, on some burning battlefield, or in a dark alley, but he never thought he would meet in such a sudden, unprepared way.

Adrenaline was released, breathing became heavier and heavier, the frequency increased slightly, and the mind was highly concentrated, staring at the guy named Anthony.

Lorenzo was familiar with this reaction, which was experienced in the uncanny valley at that time, this is called the reaction of fear, but sometimes the limit of fear is not madness, but hysterical anger.

He was angry, nameless rage.

But then Lorenzo relaxed, he hid all his emotional changes, cold as iron, and gently glanced around, thinking about the next strategy to deal with.

Apparently this was a trap, and the shrike should have been wary of it when he had just taken away his weapon.

The atmosphere in the conference room grew heavy and frozen as Anthony introduced himself, until Arthur spoke.

"Don't be nervous, Lorenzo, it's just a normal conversation today. ”

Arthur pressed his chin on his hands, perhaps from the fatigue of the past few days, or the severity of the current situation, his eyes were gloomy and cold.

"Talk?"

Lorenzo clearly didn't believe any of this, but he didn't act rashly either.

"It was just an ordinary conversation, and we at the Evangelical Church wanted to confirm something with the purification agency. ”

Anthony also spoke slowly, he was as cold as Arthur, as if he was not made of flesh and blood, but only an iron shell.

"Didn't you hunt me? I remember the Thirteenth Ban that hasn't ended. ”

Lorenzo did not let his guard down, but he did not dare to act rashly.

The Evangelical Church had never given up on the hunt for the surviving witchers in order to recover the Secret Blood and find the lost False Holy Grail, and Lorenzo didn't believe they would let him go so easily.

It's really not a good feeling now, Lorenzo didn't think about it a few minutes ago, he wanted to rest for a day, and now maybe it will be his last day.

I knew that Lorenzo should have eaten a few more bites of food...... No, he should have killed Joey right now.

But it's useless to think about it now, Lorenzo doesn't dare to act rashly, before Lorenzo was invincible in the world because he was a witcher, but now he is not the only witcher here.

Looking at the attendants beside Anthony, without exception, although the secret blood did not awaken, Lorenzo could still feel the familiar smell on their bodies.

You must know that the opponent of the Demon Hunter is not the Demon Hunter, but the Demon, the Demon Hunter Order has never taught them how to hunt another Demon Hunter, and they only know a general outline of the different powers, and when they really fight, no one knows how far that strange power can go.

Lorenzo glanced at Arthur and the others, who were also seated peacefully on the side, this time it was different from the confrontation with Lawrence, it seemed that now the purification agency and the evangelical church were temporarily united, and even if they were not united, for the sake of this so-called conversation, they had achieved a temporary peace.

One person's strength is so thin, and in the face of this huge group will, it is insignificant.

"The thirteenth ban has not stopped, but now that you are a member of the purification agency, we have reached a preliminary agreement with the Evangelical Church, and for the sake of the smooth cooperation, the Evangelical Church is willing to make concessions, so you are safe for now, Lorenzo. ”

As if to reassure Lorenzo, Arthur said in due course.

"The old Demon Hunter Order has been disbanded, and now I lead a new Order. Anthony said.

"In other words, if I am laid off and re-employed in the net removal agency, I am not considered a traitor, right?"

Lorenzo's Yin Yang Strange Qi Dao.

"Almost. ”

Anthony was still so cold, unaffected by Lorenzo, as if this person had no emotions to speak of.

"And what do you mean? Arthur. ”

Lorenzo then looked at Arthur on the other side.

Arthur and Merlin, as well as Gawain and Percival, the important management of the Purification Agency in the old Dunling are all present, they will not simply sit here, maybe there are already several airships located directly above this building, with the productivity of the mechanical courtyard, it is impossible to have only one fully armed sword dancer.

Perhaps these people are ready, the steam engine is warmed up, ready to fall from the sky at any time.

"We just wanted to have a good talk and determine the answers to some of the questions. ”

Arthur looked at Lorenzo, now that he had abandoned his personal feelings and was back in the decision-making of the will of that group, Arthur now represented more than just him.

"Don't worry too much, I know you're not comfortable with that, so we've tried to make sure you feel safe. ”

"Do you think it's safer here?" asked Lorenzo.

"In the heart of Old Dunling, neither we nor the Evangelical Church would want to fight here, would we? Arthur showed his sincerity.

"Lorenzo, although you may not believe it, I still have to say that you still belong to our purification agency, we still stand with you, and as long as you don't turn your back on us, we are still your back. ”

Lorenzo was silent, he looked at Arthur, then at Anthony, and then at the others.

Everyone seemed to really take care of him, and in order to show sincerity, they waited for Lorenzo to speak.

"Lorenzo. ”

Suddenly someone called out to him, and Lorenzo looked at the owner of the voice, it was Merlin.

"You're a great subject for experimentation. ”

When he said this, it was a little cold, but at the moment there was a kind of hellish warmth.

Lorenzo knew exactly what Merlin meant, they had only conducted the experiment yesterday, and Lorenzo had the ability to reach the Sanctuary of Stasis directly, and even to reach more places by shuttling.

This is information that the Evangelical Church does not yet know, and it is also an effective force against them, and it is also Lorenzo's life-saving card, as long as he has such power, the purification mechanism will not abandon him, and the same is true of this alchemist.

After a long silence, Lorenzo said slowly.

"So...... Let's go. ”

Anthony's attendants left, as did the soldiers of the Purifier, until only a few of them were left in the room, and the door slammed shut.

The atmosphere was solemn, as if some noble ceremony was being carried out.

Outside the gate, the soldiers of the Purifier looked vigilantly at the other side with their weapons, and the demon hunters also stood in place, but their eyes were equally vigilant and unknown.

It was more like a hellish negotiation than a conversation, premeditated, only Lorenzo was unaware of all this and was suddenly pulled in, even though he was the protagonist of this negotiation.

"Lorenzo Holmes, now a member of the Purification Agency, an external detective in the Suaran Hall, and before that a Demon Hunter of the Demon Hunting Order, fled to Old Dunling after the Night of Presence. ”

Gawain picked up the file on the table and briefly reviewed Lorenzo's experience and identity.

"Is this information correct? Mr. Holmes. He asked.

Lorenzo didn't understand what they were trying to do, but nodded anyway.

"That's right. ”

"So...... Shrike. Gawain then shouted.

Soon Shrike came from behind Lorenzo, who had just not left the conference room and had been standing behind Lorenzo.

Instead of taking a seat, Berau stood on Lorenzo's side, his face expressionless and serious.

"Seven years ago, you first came into contact with Lorenzo Holmes, right?"

Seven years ago, when the exiled Lorenzo finally arrived in Old Dunling, he was covered in wounds and staggering, no one knew where these strangers came from, and he caused quite a stir in the lower town.

It was at that time that Shrike first came into contact with Lorenzo, and Shrike did not care about this stranger, after all, a guy like Lorenzo, who hated it at first sight, could rush up to the Thames every day.

He just felt that the lower town needed a few reliable pawns, so he obtained a legal identity for him, at the cost of Lorenzo's service.

That was the beginning of Lorenzo's new life.

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Lorenzo asked a little reluctantly.

"I just wanted to make a preliminary confirmation of the time...... It all fits. ”

Anthony sorted out the information and looked at Lorenzo carefully, but then, the next moment a surging erosion surged, a familiar power, and a familiar nightmare.

The brief awakening of the secret blood made waves in the somewhat empty conference room, but Lorenzo still sat firmly in place, staring at Anthony.

"Confirm the existence of secret blood......

The glimmer in his eyes went out, and Anthony ticked a mark on the documents and put them away.

"So let's get to the bottom of this conversation, Mr. Holmes. He said.

"First question. ”

Everyone was silent, except for Anthony, who looked directly at Lorenzo as if to see through his gray-blue eyes to see everything Lorenzo was trying to hide.

"Why are you hiding your identity?"

"What identity?"

Lorenzo tensed up, the situation was a bit hellish now, although almost all the people who knew about the false grail were dead on Advent Night, but the weirdness of the Evangelical Church, even if they knew about its existence, Lorenzo would not be surprised.

But Medanzo, who was pregnant with the false Holy Grail, is dead, and he is his successor, so it stands to reason that they should not find out......

"Your true identity, you used it to deceive the Purifier and disguise the existence of the False Holy Grail. ”

Anthony said everything directly, Lorenzo was a little confused, he thought he would have a verbal battle, but Anthony directly did not give any chance to point out everything.

"Pseudo-Holy Grail?

Lorenzo began to play dumb, he couldn't expose this, and if the Evangelical Church was threatening with a false chalice, even the purification mechanism would not be able to protect him...... Perhaps Merlin will protect him, but only if Lorenzo's benefits outweigh the risks of the False Grail.

"You should know that it's also a containment object, something we can't talk about. ”

Anthony continued, picking up his pen and pointing it gently at Lorenzo.

"It's in your body right now. ”

"How do you prove it?"

Lorenzo couldn't help but laugh, to be honest, he didn't know where Watson was, maybe she was still in his consciousness, or maybe she was out of the cage, but none of this mattered, but Lorenzo had to find a way to get out alive.

Lorenzo is invincible in the world, but there is also a premise for the world to be invincible, and now this situation is obviously far beyond this premise.

Anthony was stunned when he heard this, and for the first time his cold face shook slightly, as if he did not understand why Lorenzo would say such a thing.

But then he took out another document.

This was the oral account of Arnar after Advent Night, who said that during the battle of Advent he witnessed someone taking the false chalice and leaving the Silent Temple alive. ”

Arnar?

Lorenzo vaguely remembered the witcher, who remembered him as a faithful believer, unlike Lorenzo, a madman who only cared about slashing demons, Arnar was a more ceremonial madman, and would pray earnestly before each slashing and killing.

"Medanzo, yes, but he's dead. ”

Seeing this scene, Lorenzo also knew that it was useless to conceal it, so he simply told Medanzo, he was dead anyway, so he didn't have to care about that.

However, Lorenzo was still a little surprised, although he knew that Yanar was very capable of fighting, but he never thought that he would survive the night of Arrival......

Anthony was silent, he looked at Lorenzo, probably the so-called disguise and deception, Lorenzo's expression was actually very sincere, indeed, he did not lie, in his opinion Medanzo was indeed dead.

The awkward silence lasted for a long time, and Anthony seemed to realize something, he looked at Lorenzo and asked again.

"Mr. Lorenzo Holmes, who do you think you are?"

"Who am I?"

Lorenzo looked at Anthony's gaze, and for some reason, Lorenzo actually felt it...... A little mercy.

The man in front of him is pitying himself, just like a doctor is looking at a dying patient.

"I'm ...... Lorenzo Holmes. ”

The name is the morning star, the embodiment of wishes, something that Lorenzo will never abandon, but now that he said it from his mouth, there was a little hesitation, and Lorenzo couldn't figure out why.

"Number. ”

Anthony asked again, and Lorenzo knew what he was asking.

“042！”

Lorenzo forced himself to harden and said hard.

The voice of the sudden reply paused, Anthony looked at Lorenzo with pity, and for a moment it seemed as if the whole conference room had become some hellish funeral, Lorenzo was the deceased, Antony was the priest of the Mass, and the others were the families of the deceased, and as the truth was revealed little by little, the heavy and damp soil was piled up on Lorenzo's body.

"You've been tainted by the False Holy Grail. ”

"What did you say!"

Lorenzo felt a moment of confusion.

It's supposed to be a day off for yourself, but suddenly there are so many hellish things, like you're sitting on a train and suddenly the train derails, and when you crawl out of the wreckage, you find that in the dark red world, the demons are laughing at you.

"Your number is 047!"

Anthony roared, and as he spoke, he shook the papers in his hand.

The papers were scattered, but a page slipped into Lorenzo's eyes, revealing black-and-white photographs of the man who resembled Lorenzo.

"That's your name. ”

Anthony looked at Lorenzo, who was trembling slightly, and said mercilessly.

"This is you, number 047, the witcher who bears the name of Medanzo. ”
