Ember Gun

  Chapter 236 Reincarnation

   "Is old Dunling always so cold?"

Anthony was standing at the dock, and their arrival was much earlier than expected. Therefore, there were only a few people at this empty and quiet dock. There were people waiting here in advance, but Arthur who really greeted them was still on the way. .

"That's it. The Pillar of the Furnace emits heavy steam every day. The mist is mixed with burning debris, and the city is shrouded in a misty gray fog. Even if the winter is far away, the damp chill remains. pressing."

  Someone greeted us, and they had been waiting here for a long time beforehand.

  "Hello, guests from Feilengcui."

  Shrike stretched out his hand and greeted Anthony friendly.

   Anthony's expression didn't change much, he looked at the man in front of him, and then stretched out his hand and introduced.

   "Anthony Russo."

   "You can call me a shrike."

  Shrike responded politely, but his expression was not very normal, and he hated his current job.

Originally, this job was not his, but considering that this was the first official contact between the two organizations, Arthur sent a shrike. What he meant was that the shrike had been in the Xiacheng district for so long. In terms of social interaction, it was better than everyone else. Sleek, with his ability to meet and talk to others, this kind of work couldn't be more suitable for him.

   "You came earlier than expected, and Arthur is still on his way." Shrike explained.

  "Arthur? Shrike?" Anthony didn't seem to pay any attention, but said their names meaningfully, the centipede-like scars on his cheeks slowly creeping along with his whispers.

  "This is your internal code name, right?" Anthony asked.

Shrike nodded, affirming this statement. After all, this thing can be heard at the first hearing, and it is not a secret, and it is good to have a little conversation content. He can't always talk to the priest after saying hello. Stand in the cold wind until Arthur comes, right, otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.

  "According to the ancient knight legend of Inervig." Shrike said.

   "I know, I know your specific position and class. Arthur manages the old Dunling, and the remaining knight commanders manage the branches in the rest of the area."

   Anthony said very familiarly.

"Although it is the first time we have met, we are actually old friends, like an invisible enemy. He can't threaten you temporarily, but you still have to understand him. It's a pity that we know it a little bit late. When we found you, we were no longer your opponents."

  Anthony’s words are calm, but full of power, everything he said is very straightforward, Shrike even has an illusion, maybe these visitors will fight him in the next second.

Immediately after that, Shrike felt a little embarrassed. This conversation was completely out of routine. The Shrike was prepared to give him a cold and warm meal. He was discussing about the sightseeing spots of tomorrow. But under these words, Shrike was stunned for a while, I don’t know. How to pick it up.

  Shrike has seen many big people and said a lot of nonsense, but Anthony is different. Shrike can clearly feel that this guy in front of him is an enemy, but now he has to temporarily extinguish his anger for his own benefit.

  "Steel and steam, technology and innovation, a city full of miracles and gold."

   Anthony said and looked at the old Dunling in the night. The giant whale wandered in it, casting light like a scorching sun, constantly leaning toward the dock, and the future would guide him.

  "This is my first time in Jiudunling. They often say that this city is beautiful. If you want, you can get everything you want here."

   Anthony said.

   "But the premise is that you have enough ability, otherwise you will be like those people in Xiacheng."

  Seeing this scene, Shrike also put away his smiling face, and said coldly.

  Anthony didn't say much, he just stared at the city under the night, not knowing what he was thinking about.

  ...

  121A Cork Street.

After finishing the conversation with the Rat King, Lorenzo returned home. Everything was as usual. Mrs. Van Lud's temper was still hot, while Sieg was helping her clean up the kitchen utensils. After quitting hallucinogens, Sieg’s life It's also getting back on track a little bit.

  Sometimes I feel emotional. Only when he comes back here to sleep does Lorenzo feel like a normal person, with a short normal life.

Lorenzo sat down on the edge of the bathtub with tweezers and gauze in his hands. He was naked, cleaning the wounds on his body, and as the warm water flowed through his body, he brought out a faint red color into the sewer pipe. .

  As far as the physique of the demon hunter is concerned, many non-fatal injuries will be cured in a short time. The only thing to worry about is some residues. If they are not taken out in time, they will grow together with the growth of flesh and blood.

  Most of the wound that had been healed was roughly torn open by Lorenzo. With the pain, the iron pieces that had been broken in the body were taken out, and with scarlet blood stains, they were thrown into a jar on the side.

Humming an out-of-tune melody, Lorenzo recalled what happened today. Hercules did bring him enough surprises. His appearance may provide a new breakthrough for the tracing of the "Apocalypse", but just like He Lorenzo had his own careful thoughts, as Elkery said.

Lorenzo exchanged that dark knowledge for Hercule’s assistance. This is a bargain, and it must be understood by Hercules. The only thing Lorenzo needs to think about now is when to use Herke. Inside.

After dealing with all this, Lorenzo sighed, washed the utensils and put them away, inadvertently saw the hazy mirror with a light mist on it, and the fuzzy figure behind the mist, in this small space Look at Lorenzo.

Suddenly a strange sensation surged in his mind. With Lorenzo's slow movements, his figure after the fog changed slightly. Lorenzo could not describe the strange feeling, and then he raised his hand like a ghost, in the fog. The people also stretched out their hands to Lorenzo, their hands slowly approached, and stopped abruptly the moment they reached the mirror surface.

  Like an error in perception, the mirror surface was extremely cold, and immediately after Lorenzo's touch, the condensed water drops on the fingertips gathered together, and they rushed and fell, like a curtain of washing water, dispelling the mist of the mirror.

  Behind the fog is a familiar face. His eyes are tired and strangely pale, as if they have been immersed in the cold ice sea for a long time.

  Lorenzo could not help calling out his name.

   "May... Danzo?"

  With the sound of the sound, the strange feeling quickly faded, as if it was an illusion, it was all shattered. Lorenzo focused his gaze, but found that it was himself, and he was in the mirror.

  Realizing this, Lorenzo felt a bit ridiculous. It may be that he has been a little tired recently and his sanity has become somewhat unclear.

  Lorenzo looks a bit similar to Medanzo, but just now, he actually mistaken himself for Medanzo for a moment.

  Thinking that, Lorenzo looked at himself in the mirror, and then turned his body to observe the condition of his body.

Lorenzo used to be full of scars. Even with the secret blood, some injuries were so serious that they left huge scars. They were cross-covered and spread all over Lorenzo's torso. But now, those scars have disappeared and the skin is clean. Neat, except for the black lines covering the back, there are no extra scars.

During the time at the farmhouse, Lorenzo couldn't believe what the Kestrel and others said. He was blown to pieces and lost most of his body. This kind of injury could not save him, and Lorenzo's power was not like that. Like Yanar, he has almost immortal vitality, and he will undoubtedly die in this situation.

But he was still saved by the flesh and blood of the Holy Grail. No matter how he didn't believe it, he who was still alive at this moment was the best proof. After that rebirth, his body was completely renewed, all scars disappeared, and the bolt of silver binding melted. Most of the ruined, judging from his own weight, there is still a part of it left in his body.

  Of course, apart from these changes, it was Watson that made Lorenzo more vigilant.

Watson has stopped disturbing Lorenzo since her new life. This nightmare monster likes to emphasize her presence before Lorenzo’s eyes, but she is gone, and there is also Medanzo who has disappeared. , The mysterious [Gap] Lorenzo hasn't arrived in a long time.

Sometimes the more Lorenzo thought, the more scared he was. The two beings occupying his own consciousness suddenly disappeared, or he refused to respond to Lorenzo’s call. Watson could understand that Lorenzo had always been the monster. Not sure, but Medanzo is different, Medanzo is on the same front as him, but now he also disappeared.

As if Lorenzo suffers from some mental illness, Watson and Medanzo are just figures he imagined. In the new life, not only Lorenzo's body, but also his almost broken Will.

  Thinking about Lorenzo walked back to the window, nestled on the sofa he was familiar with, quietly looking at the misty world outside the window.

  In fact, Lorenzo still has a conjecture, because he is afraid of the terrible truth, he has not told anyone, even he restrained his thoughts as much as possible.

  Perhaps...Perhaps Watson has already escaped, and successfully escaped from the cage named Lorenzo in that destruction.

Lorenzo’s power has always been limited to below the critical value. This is precisely because once the critical value is exceeded, the demon hunter begins to demonize. Like a demon, it can exert fearful erosion on the outside world, and this erosion will be a gap in the cage. , To give Watson a chance to escape.

So at the end of the fight with Lawrence, Lorenzo never broke the critical value to fight Lawrence. He could ensure that even if he died, Watson would not escape. But Lorenzo was not sure what happened when he lost consciousness. thing.

If what the Kestrel and others said is true, after his "death", a armor of original sin called the black angel went out of control, it was that it killed the out-of-control Holy Grail flesh and blood, and used it to resurrect itself, and associate it with the end of consciousness. , What Watson said to himself in the psychedelic ocean.

  It was Watson who brought herself to life. Perhaps she manipulated herself at that time and escaped from the cage.

  So what about Medanzo? Lorenzo is a prison, so Medanzo is the jailer hiding in [Gap]. Why didn't he stop all of this, or did he stop it but failed? Instead, he was completely killed, and disappeared into his mind silently.

  Things become more complicated as they think about it, as if the brain is about to explode, the air seems to solidify, it is difficult to flow, and suffocates Lorenzo's heart and lungs.

Lorenzo looked at the world outside the window in confusion. The lights were smudged in the fog. He killed Lawrence, but he ushered in a greater confusion, and now there is no time to prove it to him, "Apocalypse" "Lost, Fei Lengcui's visit...

  It is also possible that Watson did not escape. This monster is hiding somewhere, waiting for Lorenzo's self-doubt until it collapses.

  These things are not clear for the time being, and Lorenzo is preparing for another thing than these.

  He dragged the box out from under the bed and opened it. Inside were some Lorenzo handcrafted weapons, mixed with holy silver dragon's breath bullets, the last two unused spike swords, and a lot of large-caliber ammunition.

  Different from what he said to Joey, Lorenzo has plenty of weapons here, but for some reason he is still holding weapons, as if he is preparing something.

  The world of adults is a world of interests. There are no eternal allies, only eternal interests.

  Perhaps it was a very happy time. In this normal life, Lorenzo also gradually forgot that absolute reason.

The relationship between Lorenzo and the cleansing agency is just an ally. They stand together because of the same position. In the final analysis, the cleansing agency serves Queen Victoria and protects the entire Inervig, while Lorenzo only serves himself. Serve the blood-stained ideal.

  Lorenzo is different from the Elimination Mechanism. Now they are in the same mind because of the threat of the demon, but when the threat is no longer here?

  When someone can give more satisfactory benefits?

Lorenzo used to hide well, just like an ordinary detective, living in the old Dunling, but after experiencing so many things, Lorenzo has walked out of the darkness, the long-lost still temple He was also reconnected. Lorenzo believed that he could not hide from the gospel church. They might have known of their existence, so would he be their target this time?

  This is a game that has already started confrontation before they meet. Lorenzo is not sure if Fei Lengcui knows his existence. If they know, how much do they know? There is also an extremely fatal problem. As Watson of the pseudo-Holy Grail, this is an absolutely fatal problem.

In the game between the two organizations, Lorenzo was just a floating leaf caught in these two vortexes. Before the exchange of interests, Lorenzo could not guarantee that the cleansing agency would still be his ally, and Lorenzo Zuo is scared...

  Lorenzo is very afraid that on the day "Apocalypse" is found, whether it will be the eradication of institutions or the Evangelical Mission... No matter who gets it, it will be a disaster.

  That is knowledge that is unknowable by mortals, and the sacred church is also corrupted by it, trying to use it to ascend the throne of the world, and when it is truly obtained, no matter who it is, can they remain sensible in the face of that knowledge?

  It still says that they will become the next, the next gospel church to be corrupted, like a cursed reincarnation, endless.

Taking a deep breath, many questions are devastating Lorenzo. He is not clear about the direction of everything next. This is also one of the reasons why Lorenzo chose to hide Hercules. Perhaps one day, Lorenzo will become everyone’s enemy. In other words, everyone will stand on the opposite side of Lorenzo.
