Ember Gun

  Chapter 235 Visiting Mission

  Night fell, as usual, nothing special.

  At the moment, the street looks a bit desolate. After deliberately driven away, there are not many passers-by nearby, and roadblocks are piled up at the intersection to avoid the arrival of insignificant people.

Many people in maintenance clothes walked around, and among them was the Kestrel. Although the old winter was gone, the cool chill still existed. In addition to the humid environment, he still felt a little cold. Pace on the side of the road.

   "Almost processed?"

   Someone came out from the mansion next to him, as he approached the Kestrel, he saw him clearly, and then asked.

   "It's almost there. According to the report, Lorenzo dealt with these monsters, but he didn't stay on the scene after dealing with them. I don't know where he went."

  Joy also felt a little bit cold, looked around, there were faint figures, and cast a curious look at this place.

When Lorenzo fought with the demons, their erosion was detected by a large Geiger counter nearby. Soon after Lorenzo ended the battle, the decontamination agency arrived here. After processing, it is now clear. As for the finishing work of the doffers, their counterparts claimed that the steam pipes here ruptured, which might cause the rupture of the underground chain, which blocked the place for a short time.

   "Lorenzo? It's really gone without a trace, isn't he at home?" Kestrel asked. He is just playing the role of overseer who came to replace the shift.

   "No, I sent someone to find it." Joey replied.

   "But his mobility is really strong, as if he won't be tired... Is it so happy for him to kill demons?" After finishing, Joey couldn't help but sigh.

   "What's wrong?" Hearing Joey's sigh, Kestrel was a little curious about what Lorenzo had done before.

  "In the battle against Lawrence, he ran out of weapons. Even his beloved Winchester was blown up. He needed a new weapon. I just sent it to him this morning."

"As a result, the demon was solved at night..." Kestrel's voice weakened. This efficiency is not generally high. Fortunately, there is no formal employment contract between Lorenzo and the decontamination agency, otherwise Kestrel might return one day. Unemployed before retirement.

"Yes……"

Joey recalled the underground scene. The demon was blocked by the interception net, and his hacked body was still hung with the familiar hook gun. He could think of Lorenzo's heroic appearance at the time. The demon hunter appeared on the stage. They were beaten up and ran away holding their heads.

  It's a pity that the demon could not escape the ground. It was caught by Lorenzo and was easily killed like a punishment.

   "What did you find?"

"Many, such as the hallucinogen mixed with blood secretion. The monster is called Baner. He was injected with an excessive amount of hallucinogen and turned into a monster. We also found some other corpses. After a simple inspection, we can be sure. He was also injected with hallucinogens, but was killed before alienation.

  Lawrence’s remnants still exist in the old soul. This matter is very important, and Arthur has been notified. "

  The two put aside their joking heart, not serious, as said, this matter is really important.

Finding the whereabouts of "Apocalypse" is the most important thing after Lawrence's death to clean up the organs. But now there is a new secret blood appearing. In the shadows.

   "What about Arthur? I thought he would come here himself." Kestrel asked.

   "He has been here before, and he should be at the Black Mountain Hospital now."

   "Go directly to ask those concerned about the information? It seems that he is really caring." Kestrel continued.

"More than that, there are also the Mounted Police in Suyalan Hall in this incident. According to the sergeant, he had obtained some intelligence, discovered this smuggling operation, and led the attack, but he did not expect it to be related to demons. ...Yes, how can ordinary people think of monsters, for him, no matter how bad they are, it is only that these smugglers are armed with firearms."

   Joey said and looked at the Kestrel again, "What's more, his daughter is also in the line, which seems to be related to her."

   "Arthur should also have a headache for this kind of thing."

   Joey said and looked at the sky, the steel giant whale was swimming slowly in the clouds as usual.

  Demon...Demon...

   "Kestrel, do you think we will do the same in the future?"

  Joy said suddenly.

   "What?" Kestrel asked.

"After you retire, you should know the rules for the cleansing of institutions. We will be incorporated into logistics, a little bit away from everything related to demons. The dark door will be closed to us. At that time, we will be cleaning everything in the institutions. It's just a strange nightmare."

"Wake up from the dream, it's time to return to normal life. They will pay us on time, and they will also have a psychological evaluation check every month. This will last for many years. Maybe we didn’t wait until it was over and we died due to accidents or other things. ."

  Joy took a deep breath. He didn't know why he suddenly became a little sad, but he was more confused and a little trance.

   "But can this nightmare really wake up?" He doubted.

"Like the mysterious connection, even though Arthur worked so hard, he still involved his family, first his wife, then his daughter...I understand Arthur well, I don't want my children Get in touch with these."

Saying that Joey was stunned suddenly, as if he had seen through a huge conspiracy. Basically every generation of their Joshua family would have one or two joining the cleansing organization. He initially thought it was a family tradition or something. But now it seems that this is just getting deeper and deeper.

  Joy would not be in contact with demons at first, but it was just as destined.

   "I didn't think so much." Kestrel said, he didn't understand Joey's sadness very well.

"I'm just a street gangster. My only friend thought that I had left Jiu Dunling. Just like you said, I don't want to drag him into the water. Since joining the cleaning agency, I have never seen him again... …"

  Kestrel paused, but it was actually not that I had never seen it again.

  "Without the work given by the Shrike, I might have died on the street. I am grateful for everything I have now. After I can live to retire, I simply bowed my head and bowed down, so I can't think of those sad things.

  Don't think about that, let's finish today's work first. "

Under the night, people are busy working, transporting corpses one after another, waiting for them to be dissected, and then thrown into the incinerator. The work of the scavengers will continue for a few days, and they will check here if there is any The missed contacts are then sent to a mental hospital.

  This is the world they live in. It is gray, cold and wet. Everyone lights the fire. Although it is fleeting, it is still worth cherishing.

  ……

   "Why are you here, I thought you would go directly to the Black Mountain Hospital."

  The carriage door was pushed open. Merlin was a little surprised when he saw the incoming person. According to his character, he shouldn't be here now.

   "This is not the first time Eve has encountered a monster. She is not that vulnerable, and tonight's things are more important than looking at her."

   Arthur's mood is not very good, I don't know if it is the next thing that makes him feel troubled, or Eve's encounter with the monster.

  Merlin is still expressionless, although sometimes he will try to move the dead muscles, but the expression on him is frightening.

   "She will have to face this day sooner or later, you are just delaying the time for the demon to find her."

Merlin said to Arthur that he had persuaded Arthur in this way since Eve was born, but he also knew that this was a difficult decision. Although Merlin had no children, he could understand the pain, under the cold surface. , He also has a heart that is similar to a mortal.

"maybe……"

  After so much, Arthur has also been shaken a bit. The connection with the darkness is like a curse. No matter how hard a mortal tries, he can’t control this.

  "Let’s stop discussing these things. Those guests are still waiting for us. They are more troublesome than these things."

  The carriage moved slowly and ran wildly in the dark street. Time had entered midnight. At this time, the old town was quiet, except for the occasional steam surging, it was as quiet as if it had lost its sound.

  Above that night, the clouds were surging, the war airship slowly dived, and countless beams of light surrounded the carriage to ensure that they traveled in the radiant place.

  The sound of horseshoes was heard in the distance, and the soldiers protected them in the dark.

  "Is this their identity?"

  Merlin handed over a document with the information of the guests printed on it. Arthur glanced over it and felt extremely tired.

"Anthony Russo, judging from the information they exchanged with us, he is the core figure of this mission. His apparent position is a priest, but his actual identity is the headmaster. long."

  Merlin didn't like the term patriarch. The guy named Lawrence caused them too much trouble, but Anthony didn't seem to like it either.

  "But from what they said, he didn't like others to call him the patriarch, just the priest."

  Looking at how tired Arthur was, Merlin simply helped him read it.

"He was a member of the Templars before, an inconspicuous one, but he seems to belong to the new pope long ago. When the new pope took office, Anthony directly led the rest to launch raids against opponents, violently and tough. The means to complete the suppression."

   Arthur frowned when he heard this, another lunatic enemy.

   "He is here to negotiate with us? Is there no other...special person?" Arthur asked.

   "There are a few, they are very frank, in order to protect Anthony, there will be a few demon hunters as guards to protect him at all times."

  The Demon Hunter...

   Arthur has a headache. After seeing Lorenzo and Lawrence, he can deeply understand the destructive power of these monsters, but now there are a few more in this city.

   "I know your concerns. At present, we have temporarily granted Gavin and other knight commanders the authority to arbitrarily mobilize the armor of Original Sin... I just hope that they are not used."

  Merlin is also a bit sad. It is not so much that it is transferred back to the knight commanders, it is better to transfer back to the original sin armors, as the first echelon of combat power, when responding to emergencies, only their mobility can be put on the battlefield at a high speed.

  "They shouldn't have secret blood, right?" Arthur suddenly remembered, "Apocalypse" has been lost for so long, losing this core, where did the new generation of demon hunters come from.

"Perhaps there are some backup resources. Don't underestimate the gospel church. Although it no longer has its former glory, it is still the gospel church. We haven't seen it with our own eyes, so we can't be sure. What are you thinking about."

As an alchemist, Merlin knew what a mysterious group like the Gospel Church could do. The original alchemy was the fantasies of a group of lunatics, and when these lunatics had the soil to nourish them, Merlin didn’t think of a demon hunter. Is their only work.

   "But from this point, it can be seen that he can't make a demon hunter on a large scale. If they can, they don't need to fear us at all."

  Arthur nodded. As a power-holder, sometimes fighting between various forces made him exhausted.

  "Do you think the purpose of their mission this time, besides technical exchanges, is there anything else?" Arthur asked.

""Revelation"."

  There are only Merlin and Arthur here. He doesn't need to hide anything, he said directly.

   "Have you ever thought that we haven't found the "Revelation" is the reason why we are not the evangelical church?" Arthur said his assumption.

"It is so critical and important. For so many years, the evangelical church has inevitably protected it. Just like the witcher can perceive the darkness, we haven't found anything special. So Can't find it?"

   Arthur continued.

"And, from start to finish, we have never seen "Revelation", right? Even if Lorenzo only knew it existed, he didn't even know what "Revelation" looked like...it really would be one Book?"

  He uttered all his questions, followed by his biggest worry.

   "Merlin, sometimes life is really hard to make a choice."

"what happened?"

  "I am Arthur, I am the person in charge of the decontamination agency, but I serve Queen Victoria and the entire Inervig. Sometimes I need to abandon my emotions and be a cold decision machine."

   Arthur’s eyes were a little dazed, and the carriage was so fast that they were almost at the pier to meet them.

   "I always have a hunch that Fei Lengcui's mission will not be so simple, and this time we are at least not hostile on the surface..."

   "Are you worried about Lorenzo?" Merlin realized what Arthur wanted to say.

  "My decision cannot be based on personal feelings, but pure interests, technical exchanges, and exchanges of interests. It is Inverweg's response to the Holy Gospel Papal State, not the elimination of institutions from the Demon Hunting Order.

  Lorenzo’s existence cannot be concealed from these messengers, and from Fei Lengcui’s point of view, he is a defected demon hunter..."

  For the rest, Arthur didn't continue speaking, just as if a terrible prophecy would come true once it was uttered.
