It was still the same familiar and cold world, the dark blue surging under the shattered ice fields, the huge full moon half setting above the horizon, and you could clearly see the Milky Way running through the night sky, and then the howling of the cold wind hammered everything.

Everything here seems to be an artist's painting, but suddenly a bench and the people on it appear.

As if in a long dream, Lorenzo woke up and looked at something familiar.

I don't know how long he slept, and a thin layer of snowflakes had accumulated on his clothes, but he didn't feel how cold it was, and in front of his vision, the familiar man had his back to him, as if he was waiting for something.

"Good morning!"

He turned his head and smiled, a face that was somewhat similar to Lorenzo's.

"Mei ...... Danzo?"

Lorenzo covered his head with a little headache, and it looked like he was back here, the end of the connection, the strange spiritual world, or the place called [Gap].

In the deepest part of the erosion with demons, the deepest part of the connection with darkness, this unknown and strange spiritual world.

"You dragged me here?"

Lorenzo tried to ask, remembering that the first time he arrived here, it was Medanzo who was secretly doing it.

"No, this time you're being swept in, and I'm curious to see what you're doing, your connection to this place is at its maximum in an instant, and then it's the Gap. ”

Lorenzo listened to him, a little stunned.

"You're saying I got here on my own. ”

Medanzo nodded, then spoke to him.

"Lorenzo, you've forgotten a lot of things, but you're more complicated than you think. ”

There was a deep meaning in the similar eyes, as if he was hiding something, something that Lorenzo was about to forget, but then Medanzo waved his hand and motioned for Lorenzo to come over.

Lorenzo also slowly stood up on the bench, trying to remember how he had arrived here, but unlike the first time, his memory had become blurry, like a dream, shattered.

He struggled hard, and the vague memories became clearer, and he remembered that he had stepped into the armor and arrived here...... It was the original sin armor that brought him here.

"Does that thing still have this effect?"

Lorenzo remembered Tesla's warning that everyone's first ride on armor comes with the risk of extreme instability, and no one knows what will happen, so it seems that this is the risk that Lorenzo encountered.

Lorenzo walked slowly to Medanzo's side, and was about to say something, but was caught by the thing in front of him, Lorenzo looked at the thing in front of him with some distraction, and couldn't believe it.

The previously intact ice sheet tended to crumble, and a crack several meters deep appeared on it like a huge wound, like a spider web until the end of the field of vision, and the dark blue water surged between the cracks, and the metallic sound of chains grinding in the deeper depths of the darkness.

The gap was changing, Lorenzo remembered the first time he was here, but now it seemed to be collapsing.

"Here she is. ”

Suddenly, Medanzo said, and before Lorenzo could react, the ice in front of him completely shattered, and the rising sea water mixed with the broken ice slag, the chains danced wildly, and the cold wind brought up.

The bone-chilling cold descended, outlining a stunning shadow under the night sky, and then another familiar guest appeared next to Lorenzo, and Watson smiled slightly and looked at the two kindly.

"You know, I learned about a surgery that could destroy my nerves, maybe it would trap her completely. ”

Lorenzo wasn't too flustered, for some reason he always felt like everything was under control whenever he was around, even if this Medanzo was just a lonely ghost who echoed now.

"No, she's not an enemy for a while, Lorenzo. ”

No one expected Medanzo to say that.

"What do you mean?"

Lorenzo looked at Medanzo with some unease, and in Lorenzo's creed, Watson, as a pseudo-grail, was even a threat that took precedence over Imam Lawrence.

"It's a gift from the devil, what do you think?"

Watson's voice rang out, but she didn't open her mouth, but the voice was so ethereal.

She just looked at Lorenzo like that, he couldn't help but slowly retreat, looking at Medanzo and Watson vigilantly, Lorenzo's worst fear still happened, he wouldn't trap Watson forever, she was the cunning devil, the heavy ice field had been shattered, even Medanzo was inclined to her.

"Relax Lorenzo, actually we're on one front now, she's a threat to us, but ...... She is also our ally. ”

Anticipating Lorenzo's vigilance, Medanzo tried to stabilize Lorenzo.

"You'd better explain Medanzo, it's a matter of whether I wake up and shoot myself in the head and kill everyone together, or do something else to relax. ”

Lorenzo said very seriously, he had wanted to end this damn and absurd life by suicide more than once, but he was never sure of the special nature of the false chalice, the Evangelical Church made this imitation of the Holy Grail, but no one knew its quality, and even said that it broke out on the night of the special Holy Advent before he could test it.

No one knows if Lorenzo's death will put an end to this spread, just as no one knows if the concept of a demon will really collapse completely after killing the Holy Grail, all of which is based on words that have never been proven, just stubborn insistence.

"You're still the same Lorenzo, you know very well that you can't die, that your mission hasn't been accomplished. ”

Medanzo said leisurely, he knew Lorenzo too well, he still had a lot to do, and he would definitely not die easily after achieving this.

"I've thought about it for a long time since you left last time, and I've been thinking about what the gap is, and how this weird world exists in this world...... And even in what form I lived. ”

Medanzo said and looked at Watson.

"Just like her, is she the one we once knew well, or is she a demon in a skin?"

"Demons!"

Lorenzo snapped.

"But what am I, Lorenzo?"

Medanzo then asked rhetorically.

"What is the difference between me and Watson? We are both dead, but alive in your mind, alive in this strange [gap], in fact I am the same as Watson...... It's just a little bit different, but can it tell us apart completely?"

Lorenzo was slightly stunned, he wanted to say something to refute him, but he couldn't say anything.

"You see, Lorenzo, your mind is still stuck in the ignorance of the church, completely putting aside the so-called gods, and thinking with absolute reason!"

Medanzo said again.

But after a long pause, Lorenzo's voice sounded again.

"So that's why Watson was able to show up in front of me? You let her go, you made her reappear...... Have you forgotten what a price we paid?"

Lorenzo was furious.

"It was I who paid the price, Lorenzo!"

Medanzo said in a shocking voice, he always did, shocking his heart, but then he didn't continue, just said faintly after a short silence.

"Looks like I've taken over your mind, Lorenzo. ”

Lorenzo stared at Medanzo, and after he arrived at the Gap, Watson, whom he had almost forgotten, appeared.

At first, he thought that Watson had broken free from the demons as time had reconnected with him, but now it seemed that this was clearly not the case, and with the help of Medanzo, the man who had slain the dragon, was helping the dragon in the end.

"So let's calm down with each other for a moment. ”

Lorenzo said slowly after thinking for a long time, he kept a safe distance, and it was a hellish feeling, like no one could be trusted.

But he still looked at Medanzo with some reluctance, as if he didn't believe it would be like this, he said.

"Give me a reason, Medanzo, a reason that I can accept. ”

Seeing that Lorenzo still had the possibility of talking, Medanzo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he said.

"This stems from the last time you left, you should have noticed the weirdness of this place, both me and Watson are trapped in this ......"

"What do you want to say?"

Lorenzo asked, but as he spoke, the world shifted.

The ice field was completely shattered, and the dark blue water poured out of the crack and swallowed everything, Lorenzo could only hold on to the ice floes under his feet, and then rolled in the raging waves, but just as he was about to be smashed down by the rising waves, everything fell silent again, as if there was an extreme low temperature passing by, and the fierce roaring sea was frozen.

It's like a painter's casual stroke, which stirs up the whole world of oil painting.

"Here...... It's the world that we control. ”

Medanzo's voice sounded again, and unlike Lorenzo's embarrassment, his position did not change in the slightest, as if he was sheltered by an unknown force, and neither the tide nor the broken ice could interfere with it.

"The world we control?"

Lorenzo got up from the ice, this is the [gap], the [gap] with the deepest connection with the darkness, how could it be a world controlled by Lorenzo.

"yes, that's your shortcoming, Lorenzo, you're so angry, so angry that you never try to think about demons. ”

"Think about them, I think the meaning of their existence is to be killed, to be completely eradicated!"

Lorenzo said angrily.

"So you are blinded by anger, and you don't realize what great wealth you have. ”

Medanzo said with some distress that Lorenzo is a smart man, but smart people are sometimes blinded.

"We never knew about the demons, because of the strange erosion, the strong attack, and the fact that they don't speak human words. ”

Medanzo once again showed his anachronistic sense of humor.

"But didn't you find out, Lorenzo. ”

He looked at Watson to the side.

"Our side is the first demon who can communicate normally without worrying about erosion, she is an imitation of the Holy Grail, a man-made natural disaster, and our best friend. ”

There was a faint smile on Watson's familiar face, just like it had once been.

"I should have thought of it. ”

Medanzo said to Watson.

"You're making a deal with the devil!

Lorenzo still seemed a little unacceptable, he was extremely resistant to Watson, just as he had seen the burning cathedral of Santa Nalo, and the fire of that night had not been extinguished, and was still burning in his heart.

"But aren't we demon hunters born from demons? Lorenzo, some wrong decisions can lead to the right results. ”

Medanzo asked again.

Then Medanzo seemed to have figured out something, words are never the best way to convince a person, only for him to see with his own eyes, he said to Watson.

"Show it to him. ”

"Are you sure?"

"It's a great opportunity. ”

Watson nodded.

"Well, but remember, it all comes at a price. ”

It's like a transaction, it doesn't require a contract or a signature, it's all about words.

Lorenzo looked at them, as if something was about to happen, he stepped on the frozen and splashed ice floe, which was like an icy jungle under an unknown force, and he broke one ice cube after another made of seawater, but he was still a step too slow.

It's an indescribable feeling, like your brain is being opened in an instant, and the closed walls are shattered in an instant, and the real world is revealed.

As if there was a sword blade far beyond the cognitive dimension, it split the whole world after being cut down in an instant, Lorenzo could not express the picture at the moment in words, a huge black crack appeared in the field of vision, it was not a fixed scar, it seemed to act directly on the entire space, no matter which angle it looked at, it was the same appearance.

A gap was cut out, and the closed cage opened.

"Medanzo, you're crazy!"

Lorenzo roared, sure enough, no matter how resolute the witcher and demon Guan have been together for a long time, he will go crazy, not to mention that she is still a pseudo-chalice, or the person Medanzo misses, he should not believe him, as Medanzo said, he is dead, he is no longer the same Medanzo.

Crushing the clumps of ice edges, Lorenzo staggered to the side of the two, he slammed his fist, but was caught by Medanzo, unable to score half a point.

"Be sensible, Lorenzo. ”

Medanzo didn't even look at him, he just looked at the rift that cut through the world, and there seemed to be something in the deep darkness.

"Lorenzo, what do you think [gap] is?"

Damn was still calmly answering questions and answers at this hellish time.

"I just think you're trying to let her go!"

"She's not leaving, haven't you thought about it?Lorenzo, erosion is mutual, and when you feel the oppression of demons, the erosion of demons is also integrated into your will...... Just like it is now. ”

Medanzo let go of his hand, and as he said, Watson didn't make any superfluous moves, just watched Lorenzo vent the anger that had been building up for a long time.

"Look there, Lorenzo, you'll understand. ”

At this moment, Medanzo finally showed his strength, and he pressed Lorenzo's head to force him to look there, and his movements were as skillful as he had done so many times before on Lorenzo.

At first, Lorenzo struggled a little, but soon his struggle stopped, and his anger at the demon gradually subsided, and he looked rationally into the dark crack, I don't know whether it was out of fear of the unknown or confusion, Lorenzo felt that his blood was cold.

"That's ...... What?"

He asked.

"[Gap]. ”

"[gap]?"

Medanzo said again in the affirmative.

"That's right...... [gap], another [gap]. ”

After looking at the gloomy darkness, Medanzo said with some joy.

"Congratulations Lorenzo, we're one step closer to the truth about demons. ”

Behind the crack in the darkness, beyond this [gap], there was endless darkness, but in this darkness there was a faint starlight, and near the [gap] where Lorenzo and the others were, there were stars as bright as day.
