Ember Gun

  Chapter 154 Distinguished Guest

   Slowly opened his eyes...In fact, Lorenzo had been awake for a while, but he had not opened his eyes to observe where he was.

  Lorenzo was thinking. He was a little curious about where he would wake up this time. After all, the last thing he remembered was when he fainted to the ground.

Every time Lorenzo fainted, Lorenzo would wake up in some weird place. Every time he saw a different ceiling at first glance, it seemed that this ceiling was the real "archive point". Waking up was a new beginning, so he wondered what it would be like this time.

  Metal ceiling? Or the mural-like wall, or the ceiling covered with posters like an advertising wall?

   finally opened his eyes, and the goal is to have brown and light yellow intertwined patterns. They are heavily entangled to form an ever-extending picture scroll, and light-colored curtains fall on the four corners of the extension.

and many more……

  Lorenzo sat up fiercely, the terrifying headache seemed to be over, but all the trauma would leave traces, even if the mental injury was the same, Lorenzo would still feel the faint pain in his mind.

  But this is not the time to think about it now.

  He looked at the surrounding environment. Although there were not many extravagant decorations, from the perspective of the faintly noble decoration style, this was not a place where people like Lorenzo could easily come.

Lorenzo’s clothes were placed on the chair next to the soft bed. Not only clothes, but also a new set of clothes, as well as the weapons he carried were placed one by one, like a pile of accessories for dolls. Same, clear and clear.

  But there is a new question. The clothes are here, so what are you wearing?

  Looking down, Lorenzo was wearing a light blue pajamas. It seemed that this was not specially prepared for him, and the clothes should be much looser.

   "No, this situation is not quite right..."

  Lorenzo said to himself.

In Jiudunling for so many years, he hasn't seen any formations before. If he wakes up being hung up and ready to be executed, he wouldn't be surprised, but now he is in such a place...this formation is true. Have seen.

   "Isn't it awake..."

  Lorenzo thought for a while and made such a decision.

   So he lay back and put the quilt over his head. After about a minute or so, Lorenzo sat up again.

  He can't sleep anymore.

  Lorenzo got up from the bed, picked up Winchester, and walked straight out of the room.

  Dignified Demon Hunter, I have never seen any big winds and waves.

Outside the door is a quiet promenade, and the carpet extends to the end of the line of sight. Through the windows on the side, Lorenzo can see the gloomy sky of Old Dunling, the solid walls that extend to the ground, and the streets that will be crowded. Isolated garden area.

"you're awake?"

   Suddenly a voice rang behind him.

  Lorenzo subconsciously waved Winchester's gun handle, and then a familiar face came into his eyes.

   "Good morning, Mr. Holmes."

  Looking at the "uninvited guest" Yawei, he showed a kind smile as much as possible.

  Lorenzo looked at Yawei and then at the scenery outside the window. He seemed to know where he was.

   looked a little awkward.

   "Why am I... here?"

   "Well... this might be a... more complicated story."

Yawei said, crossing Lorenzo's side, making a "please" look.

  ……

This is a somewhat absurd scene. Under the exquisitely crafted crystal chandelier, a long table is located in the center of the room. The fire in the fireplace is blazing. The attendant leaves after breakfast. Only Yawei, a rigorous old butler Stand on the other side.

  At one end of the long table is the young mistress here, and beside her is Lorenzo who is struggling to eat.

   "So... why did you come out in pajamas? With a gun?"

  Seleu couldn't help but asked.

   "It's a long story."

  Lorenzo didn’t seem to want to explain anything about it. Yawei had played tricks on himself, who knew he was going to bring himself to breakfast.

   Regardless of Seleu's disgusting eyes, Lorenzo lowered his head to eat, not knowing how long he had slept, he was very hungry now.

   "It looks like you are recovering well."

  Seleu looked at Lorenzo's wind and wind, and had to admire the physique of the demon hunter. When he was found in the alley, his appearance was no different from that of a dead man.

   "You look good, too."

  Lorenzo said bad things and greeted each other.

  Lorenzo hasn’t seen Seleuc since the attack by Master Lawrence. As one of the parties, she didn’t seem to have been injured or anything.

   "Are you joining the company now?"

  Lorenzo thought for a while and wanted to ask.

   Although it is not clear how the cleansing agency will deal with the follow-up matters, the demon must have been completely exposed to Seleu, and her identity is so special, maybe she is now one of the insiders.

"almost."

  Seleu nodded, not sure what deal the cleaning agency had made with her. She was not dragged away by the group of scavengers to make psychological hints, forget hypnosis, and the like.

   said that Lorenzo glanced at Yawei who was standing on the side. At this moment, there were only three of them left.

   "He knows these too, but..."

  Seleuze seemed to have thought of something halfway through, she motioned to Yawei, the old butler still looked a little worried, but still could not leave, now only Lorenzo and Seleu were left.

  The two people ate silently, until Seleu couldn't help asking.

   "So dear detective, are you still a demon hunter?"

  Without the interference of others, Seleuc went straight to the point.

  "One of the previous professions, I am now a real detective, certified by Su Yalan Hall!"

  Lorenzo began to change the subject, but this was obviously useless for Seleu.

   "I got rid of organs from that...? I already know about you."

  Seleu exclaimed as he spoke.

   "This world is really amazing, there are everything."

  Demons, armor of original sins, cleansing organs, although not much is known, but only from the calmness of the old soul after the treatment, you can feel the power of the organization.

   "No, they just sold me like that?"

  Listening to Selenium’s plain tone, Lorenzo was taken aback.

  In Lorenzo's opinion, the cleansing agency is a highly confidential organization. Those who know it are either knocked out to amnesia, or sent to the northern ice sheet to dig a lifetime of potatoes.

"It's very simple. I promised their commercial support. The entire Stuart group can have a lot of energy, and maintaining such an organization, despite the state support, will cost a lot, right. "

Sometimes Lorenzo will always forget the identity of Seleu, the future Duchess of Stuart, although not like the Duke of Salicardo has a huge industry, but the Stuart family's contacts can be said to spread all over the UK Ervig, no matter what industry has members, it should not be underestimated.

   "Like a strange and unprofitable company, I became a small investor in exchange for some small power."

  Seleu gave a sly smile.

  The cleaning agency will not be fully disclosed, but for those who are willing to cooperate with the work and can provide funding, they are still happy to share.

  What's more, they really don't know how to deal with this troublesome Seleuc. It would be great if they could stop her mouth with a very small price.

To a certain extent, this is also maintaining the rule, tying the Stuart family to the galloping chariot... Although from the current power of this little girl, she is just a decoration inside the car. It's just a pendant.

   "So am I so worthless?"

  Lorenzo shook his head angrily.

   "Actually, under that situation, your intelligence was no longer valuable, and they just did so."

   Seleuc explained.

  She witnessed the whole story at the time, and there is nothing to hide from it.

   "But, Lorenzo, you hide so deeply."

  Seleu looked at Lorenzo with that strange smile, looking from top to bottom, as if he had met this person again.

  Lorenzo twisted his body uncomfortably. It felt like a street gangster admiring a girl passing by, but at this moment his identity was transferred.

  I thought it was just a better detective, but who would have thought that this is still a mysterious demon hunter.

   "People must have something past."

  He pretended to say deeply, and while talking, he still took a few bites of meat to eat. I have to say that the food cooked by this big family is better than the small street shop.

   "Why am I here?"

  Lorenzo raised his head as he spoke, but he looked at the other self, reflected in the ice sea.

  Because his height was not enough, Seleu stepped on the chair with one leg and half-kneeled on the table with the other leg, trying to get close to him, and then carefully looked at Lorenzo's eyes.

  Some people say that the eyes are the window of the soul, and Seleuc’s posture is like opening the skylight, dragging the strange soul out of it and re-examining it.

  Lorenzo’s first reaction was to look away. Seleu’s eyes were like magic. No one could hide her thoughts under that sight. She would always see through you easily and find what she wanted.

  If it weren’t for Seleuc’s never corrosive reaction, Lorenzo would sometimes even wonder if this hapless child was some undiscovered new kind of demon.

Lorenzo hates looking at each other, or being seen through. It feels like someone has lifted your roof and dragged you out of the bed. He tried to look away, but was directly caught by a pair of cold hands. Fixed.

   Seleuc firmly fixed Lorenzo with both hands, forcing him to look at himself, carefully studying this familiar and unfamiliar face.

   "We said yes, Seleu."

  Lorenzo fled his eyes, he refused.

   "The one who agreed with me is a detective, not a demon hunter."

   Squeezed Lorenzo’s face forcefully, as if he was ravaging a big furry dog, twisting strange expressions one by one.

   "Do you know you will be ripped off by me as soon as I force myself?"

  Lorenzo threatened.

  At this moment, Seleu's center of gravity has been placed on him, as long as Lorenzo withdraws, Seleu will fall on the dining table.

"Oh? So Yawei heard the noise and walked in and saw me falling on the table... Did you know? Lorenzo, since you moved in, Yawei hasn't shot away... He has a real opinion of you. It's pretty big."

  Like a sinister villain, Seleuc’s somewhat indifferent face was full of mockery.

  Lorenzo fell into an awkward silence for a while.

   "So be honest, Demon Hunter."

   Straighten Lorenzo's face forcefully, and the two eyes could not help but meet each other.

  It was a very strange feeling, which reminded Lorenzo of how he was when he first saw Seleuc, when he was in Gallunaro, a small seaport near the Shiraito Strait.

  Lorenzo found out about Seleu’s existence after inquiring around. This little girl survived in the chaotic cracks of the small town with her agility to easily see through people's hearts.

  In a dilapidated alley, Lorenzo saw Seleu, in fact, there were still many people there, but when he saw the icy eyes, Lorenzo knew she was his target.

  It is the pupil of the mirror, reflecting everything in the world.

  But suddenly the cold touch disappeared. When Lorenzo reacted, Seleu had already sat back and continued to cut the food on the plate, as if nothing had happened.

  Not caring about the image, she deliberately made a chirp, like a little secret of Lorenzo.

   "So... why am I here?"

  Lorenzo didn't want to talk more about this at all, he looked wary.

  He remembered he was fainting in an alley, but he woke up here.

   "I have something to do with you. Mrs. Van Lud said that you have been out for many days, and then I saw you on the way back and fainted in an alley."

   Seleuc passed by.

   "So I took you back with the opportunity, you were injured, Yawei helped you deal with the wound, and then you slept all day."

"that's it?"

   "That's it, otherwise what else?"

  Seleu finished eating, put the tableware aside.

  This guy is always cold, like a lifeless doll, but sometimes it is revitalized, rare and lively.

  Lorenzo felt something was wrong, he asked.

   "Then what is it looking for me?"

  I just feel troubled.

   Seleuc replied.

   "Someone wants to see you."

"see me?"

  Lorenzo swept his social circle for an instant. Except for some monsters, there were all kinds of dead people, and there were not many people who could find him.

   "Yes, so please stay here till night, Lorenzo."

   Seleuc stood up and smiled.

   "A distinguished guest wants to see you tonight."

  With a mysterious color, she likes to see Lorenzo distressed.

   "You still didn't say what it was, Seleuc."

  Lorenzo was keenly aware of something, he asked again.

  "As a demon hunter?"

  In Lorenzo's opinion, the only thing that he can make the noble people notice is the ability of the demon hunter. He crossed the cleansing mechanism and found himself directly, which he felt a little uncomfortable.

  Seleu shook his head.

   "Don't worry, I didn't tell you anything. After all, I signed a non-disclosure agreement... Although that thing seems dispensable."

  She approached Lorenzo and helped him button the pajamas, her voice echoing in her ears.

   "I am a detective."

   "As the great detective Lorenzo Holmes."

  The icy eyes seemed to be smiling at him, she said at last.

   "I will trouble you to dress more decently at that time, please come out without wearing pajamas?"
