Ember Gun

  Chapter 177 Blood of Steel

The crowd was bustling, like a group of migrating penguins, crowded, the voice echoed under the empty arc-shaped dome, and every subtle voice was amplified in the constant reverberations. The chaos of whispers seemed a bit noisy, just like them. Just talking in your ear.

When you look up, you can see the historic clock. In the ticking sound, the gears bite and rotate, pushing time slowly. The steel cantilever beams spread out under the dome behind it, like the skeleton supporting the building. The steam train slowly enters the station along the rails, and you will see the mist surging with the sound of the siren, like the breathing of this giant steel beast.

  Old Dunling Central Railway Station, one of the important hubs of the entire city, the railroad tracks from here are like blood vessels spreading over the land of Inervig, where you can go to any place in Inervig.

   "I still think this trip is not very reliable."

   "It's okay, just accompany me to draw inspiration for creation."

  In the crowded crowd, someone talked.

Lorenzo took Seleu and walked in the crowded crowds. During the short trip, they stopped by the clothing store, changed their clothes, and dressed themselves more ordinary...Of course, they used Winches to pay the bill. Especially, this ghost is as good as a credit card.

Lorenzo dangled a lighted cigarette and wore brown sunglasses to hide his sharp eyes. Seleu put on a brown newsboy hat and hid the long hair that was the same pale golden as Lorenzo. rise.

Although it is clear that Lorenzo has deviated from the action of eliminating the organs at this moment, and has "hijacked" herself, Seleu did not feel hijacked at all. When robbing the clothing store, she also bought some sweets and kept it in her pocket. Here, one comes out from time to time.

She looks very laid back, she doesn't care what happens next, she doesn't care about the anger before, as if nothing happened, just like an ordinary girl, waiting for the list of her own on the platform The train, heading for an unknown journey.

   "So where do we go next?"

   Seleu raised her head and asked, the crowd was too crowded, she could only hold Lorenzo tightly to avoid being washed away.

   "You will know."

  Lorenzo did not look at her, but at the clock hanging in the lobby of the waiting room. He seems to be in a hurry.

  The inside of the railway station is a dome made of glass. You can see that the sun has set west, and the decadent light is gently setting, reflecting in the center of the hall, and the copper statue is shining brightly.

It was a statue of a knight holding a sword. It seemed to be molded by a real person. You can see his former shadow on the powerful face of Kong Wu, and there are words about this statue carved on the base of the statue. .

  This is a statue commemorating the glorious war, commemorating those soldiers who died because of Inervig. It stands in this crowded sea of ​​people, like a reef against the current.

   "It's us."

  Lorenzo said suddenly.

  Not waiting for Seleu to figure out the situation, Lorenzo took her hand and walked quickly to the platform.

The cleansing agency must be looking for them all over the world. It stands to reason that with the cleansing agency’s control over the old Dunling, Seleu felt that they could not even get out of the industrial zone, but now they are leaving the old Dunling. The chasing soldiers have not come yet.

  It seems that there is a big net of conspiracy.

There were travelers passing by, and Seleuth thought of something else. Perhaps the cleaning agency has come, but it’s not easy to happen. This is the old Dunling Central Railway Station. The daily flow of people here is extremely large. Once you choose to stay here Do it, let alone the terrifying civilian casualties, and even the secrets of the demon can no longer be kept from the public.

   "You are more and more like a terrorist."

   Seleuc whispered.

  "I just have my own thoughts and goals...but telling them will not be useful, Yawei will not understand, nor will Kestrel, Arthur will even kill me before I finish talking."

   "Cut first and play later?"

   "I've done it first, but we have to survive to play it later."

  The two voices were relaxed, but they were talking terrible things.

  There are performing musicians playing at the edge of the crowd. A hundred years ago, there would be poets reciting ancient stories there.

  The steam train slowly entered the station. When the door opened, some hot steam gushing out, which condensed into droplets of water on the girl's hair. She blushed, chewing candy.

  Lorenzo dropped the cigarette **** and looked at her, his cold face smiled involuntarily.

   "You look like a normal child like this."

   "What do you mean, do you eat sugar?"

  Lorenzo nodded, and he continued.

   "Actually, I think it's really boring for you to pretend to be mature."

  "Then what do you think is the ‘mature’ that a kid should have?"

   "Well...what is your age, what do you do."

  Lorenzo said seriously.

"The age you should play is fun, and the age you should study well is to study hard. Recognizing your current situation is the best maturity. There is no need to pretend to be sophisticated, pretending to be deep, and it makes me feel like an old monster. Live in the body of a child."

  Seleu lowered her head, and Lorenzo could not see her expression.

   "Then do you want a candy?"

   She said suddenly, and then raised her hand, there was a candy in the center of her white hand, and the sugar paper was colored.

  Lorenzo was shocked, then picked up the candy, peeled the candy wrapper, and put it in his mouth.

   Seeing that he had eaten the candy, Seleu smiled weirdly, his cunning look, like a snow fox stealing food.

   "Toxic."

Lorenzo's face changed immediately, and then a strange smell spread in his mouth, but he didn't make any unnecessary reaction, just staring at Seleu, as if he couldn't bear the scrutiny of that gaze, Seleu waved his hand. .

   "It's just a weird candy."

   Chewing hard, Lorenzo swallowed the strange smell as much as possible, and the look in Seleu's eyes was a little strange.

   "You actually like this taste."

   "No, this is specially prepared for you. What if you think it is poisonous, draw a knife and chop me down?"

   Seleuc said casually.

Although she still looks very angry, under the power of the demon hunter, let alone escape, even if someone comes to rescue her, she doesn't think they can beat Lorenzo, so she has this prank Similar thoughts.

If Lorenzo really thought it was poison and drew a knife and chopped him down, and instead followed Seleu's thoughts, Lorenzo needed her cheese to lead out the **** big mouse, so that it could damage Lorenzo's. Good thing, it is the only revenge she can do.

   "Poison can't kill the demon hunter. After all, the secret blood is the most violent poison."

  Lorenzo replied lightly, not knowing whether it was to defend himself or something else.

   "You don't think I will poison you?"

   Seleuc asked curiously, her eyes shining brightly.

  Lorenzo was a little hard to deal with this kind of Seleu, he was silent and did not answer, a whistle sounded, urging the passengers, he took Seleu and hurried onto the train.

  The girl looked at the figure more than one head higher than herself, and paused for a long time, revealing a snicker that Lorenzo could not see.

  The situation between the two is a bit delicate. According to normal logic, Seleuc has already opposed Lorenzo, but the two have extremely reliable trust in each other.

  Lorenzo believes that **** sugar is not poison, and Seleu believes that the road to destruction does not require his own sacrifice... Maybe.

  Everyone is hesitant and confused, and the so-called trust is also in danger, waiting for the moment of rupture.

  But the more so, the more Seleu smiled, and at this moment, there were no titles to restrain herself.

  It's like a heartless final journey, anyway, all the way home is doomed, it is better to have fun on the road and enjoy the only one.

  "Have you bought a ticket in advance?"

  The carriage is not crowded, everyone has their own seat, and the dining car is walking in the middle.

  Seleu was a little surprised. She thought she would run away with Lorenzo all the way, or use Winchester to gently let a lucky passenger give way.

   But now it seems that Lorenzo has been prepared for a long time, this action is not a whim, but a premeditated plan.

  "What do you want to eat? It will be a long journey."

   Lorenzo asked.

  Seleu sat next to him, and there was an empty seat opposite, and it seemed that there were still passengers who hadn’t arrived.

   "May I know where to go?"

  For the end of this sudden journey, Seleuc was very curious.

   "North."

  Lorenzo stretched out his arms and stretched himself out.

   "But isn't the north a wilderness?"

  Seleuc still knows this bit of geographical knowledge. The north of Inervig is an endless wilderness and an icy sea. There are no resources to be mined, the living environment is harsh, and there are few people there.

   "Actually, it wasn't long ago."

Lorenzo recalled what Merlin had said to him. At that time, in order to ensure the equivalence of value, Lorenzo confessed a lot of information about the Demon Hunting Order, and because of the issue of mutual trust, Merlin also confessed a lot about themselves. Although most of Lorenzo can't understand the things, it feels like being cheated.

   "Now Inverweg's industrial development has reached a bottleneck."

  He said that first.

   "Restricting development is not a technical problem, but fuel."

  "Fuel?"

   "Yes, the Perpetual Motion Pump found some highly flammable liquids and thick black liquids in the north. The heat released by them is far more powerful than existing fuels."

"So this group of people started to develop the north more than ten years ago. They dug more such liquids underground. Once there is a breakthrough in technology, it will be the fuel that will change the world, so they have been developing secretly until now. Initially scaled."

  Lorenzo looked at the far north, and failed to pass a class related to mechanics. This should be the biggest regret in his career.

  “With a scale, logistical supplies are needed. In order to prevent others from discovering abnormalities, they developed a set of tourist routes to take everyone to see the snow scene in the cold winter.”

  Lorenzo glanced at the car that was almost full. Perhaps the person who made this plan had never thought that there would be so many neuroses who are not afraid of the cold.

   "Said it is tourism, but the transportation is logistics supplies."

  Lorenzo said and moved his eyes back into the carriage. As the train slowly started, the last group of passengers boarded the train, and the crowd at the end was a bit crowded.

"Sounds interesting."

   Said Seleu.

"Of course."

  Lorenzo recalled Merlin’s excited expression at the time.

   "They call that thing blood."

   "Blood?"

  Lorenzo nodded.

  "The blood of industry."
