Ember Gun

  Chapter 244 The White Church

   "Chasing danger?"

  Joy found the conversation interesting, and he looked at Sieg, who was a little more cautious.

  This man always gave him the impression that he was a little timid and autistic, but now listening to what he said, it is obvious that this person is more than that, those are just his appearance.

   "People are complicated, aren't they? There are multiple faces in the same person, just like Lorenzo."

  Sig always mentioned Lorenzo intentionally or unintentionally, as if the detective had some attractive magic.

"How to say?"

  There is still plenty of time, and Joey still has a lot of free time to chat with him.

"Lorenzo never tried to conceal anything, you should be able to feel it, right, he is a complete lunatic, the kind that tends to self-destruct, but he never conceals that he is a lunatic, and sometimes he will Proud."

  "In some ways, he can't be honest. I have always been afraid of the conflict between him and Madame Van Lourdes. You also know her character, right?"

   Listening to Sig's words, Joey thought of the grumpy old lady, and he began to understand Sig's concerns.

   "Once there is a conflict, it is likely to end in blood, but Lorenzo has never done anything excessive, like a madman after going out, and after stepping through the gate, he becomes normal again."

  Sig recalled that there was something about Lorenzo.

  "He is like a dead tree..."

  He said softly.

  "An old dead tree, you can peek inside from the cracked tree pattern. There is a raging fire inside, burning and carbonizing everything from the inside out, until death."

   "But even so, there are still new green shoots on the dry surface... So I think Lorenzo is very interesting, very interesting, I have been curious about how he became like this."

   Sieg said, his words had a strange feeling, and Joey couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

  "You should ask him in person, are you not his roommate?"

   "But he is dangerous...people like to chase danger, but in the same way, people hesitate before that danger, just like... the dark side of human nature."

   Sieg continued to state that he looked at the other people in the mutual aid association. There were men, women, old and young, and everyone seemed normal and harmonious.

   "Look, everyone is so friendly, just like brothers."

  Looking at them, some have begun to exchange contact information, and some are preparing to travel together next time.

   "Joey, can you imagine it? It's such a group of people, who almost fell into that fatal illusion before, for the short-lived illusion of happiness to become property, some people will go down evil roads..."

  The voice gradually became gloomy. What Sieg said was not a false statement. Things like this might be happening in Xiacheng now.

"I used to think that human nature and even the world are two-sided, either black or white, or good or evil. But the longer I come to Old Dunling, the more clearly I can recognize my mistakes. There is nothing good and evil. Evil is just a hazy dust."

  Higg lowered his head, not so much talking with Joey, at this moment he is more like self-reporting and introspection.

"Everyone is a group of constantly changing gray, poor self-contradictory bodies, composed of black and white. When you are good, there will be more white parts, and when you are evil, there will be more black parts. There is no such thing as absoluteness. "

  "Contradictions run through each of them. I am curious about everything about Lorenzo, but I am afraid to step forward."

  Sig looked at Joey who had been silent for a long time, and said helplessly.

   "I usually talk very little."

   "You can see that you are very contradictory and want to communicate with people, but you are afraid of it. Even if you are talking to me, it is only through mutual assistance, right?"

  Joy simply analyzes Sieg, everyone is contradictory, he is like this, so is Joey, and so is Lorenzo.

   "It feels good to say it." Sieg laughed. Even after spending so long in Old Dunling, his friends are still poor, even saying no.

  He whispered in a low voice.

   "Just like this, human beings are social animals. We can see countless similar species when we walk on the street, but we can really see that there are very few people in our hearts, and they are always in the solitude of the soul."

   "What did you say?" Joey didn't hear him clearly.

   "Nothing." Sieg said.

Suddenly, for some reason, the scene fell silent, and even people’s conversations were weakened. Just as Joey was puzzled, the magnificent music sounded, and the old pipe organ came into operation again, and the melody was mottled from the copper color. Gushing out of his vents, filled every part of this space in an instant.

  The melody is rapid and short-lived. When you realize that you want to listen carefully, it is over. Then a man walks over slowly, smiling and waving to everyone.

   "It seems that everyone's mental condition is not bad, I hope you will end these pains as soon as possible." The man said.

  His identity seems to be very respectable, with endless applause and whistle, and some people even greeted him and gave him a big hug.

  "Who is he?" Joey was a little confused. He had never seen such a person in the mutual aid association.

  "Psychologist." Sieg explained to him.

This mutual aid association is not an ordinary mutual aid association. After all, everyone wants to quit smoking or alcohol addiction, but the dangerous hallucinogen. A lot of information shows that some people will become crazy after forcibly quitting hallucinogens. For this reason The psychological condition of these people requires constant attention.

  The man is the new psychiatrist, and he will provide free psychological consultation for everyone in this mutual aid association.

   "I remember there was no such position before." Joey said.

"I don't know. Anyway, he came with a piece of paper. It is said that it was a doctor from the Black Mountain Hospital. At first, everyone was a little scared, but then it became better. He was quite popular with everyone, so he didn't care. "Sig replied.

Sieg has always felt that the self-report in the mutual aid association is more like a spiritual self-narration, opening all the lines of defense, and revealing his essence. When facing strangers, it feels very bad, as if the spiritual level is stripped. Others see it the same.

  The doctor is not very old, he looks less than thirty, with a standard smile on his face, just right, neither blunt nor artificial.

  Black Mountain Hospital?

  Joy knows where the Black Mountain Hospital is, but not all people there are related to demons. To a certain extent, most doctors are also normal people, but they don't know that the project they are researching is related to demons.

  This is a very likable guy, but for some reason, this is the first time Joey has seen this man, but he instinctively resists him, just like subconsciously tacitly accepting him as an unfriendly person.

  The men are greeting one by one. With so many people, he can greet half of them in a blink of an eye, and he will be here soon.

  Joy didn't want to talk about these useless things. After a glance at the time, it was time for him to go back.

"Sieg, Lorenzo is actually not that dangerous, but..." Joey paused, and after hesitating for a few minutes, he still warned Sieg, "But don’t touch Lorenzo too deeply, it’s really dangerous, literally As dangerous as it means."

  From the fact that Sieg, who had been with Lorenzo for so long, had been roommates safe and sound, they didn’t communicate much. Otherwise, this unlucky roommate would have been trapped in darkness and killed by a monster that suddenly appeared one night. Lorenzo seemed indifferent, but he was actually trying to protect these hapless ghosts.

   "What about you? Joey, are you so dangerous?" Sieg asked.

  Joy paused when he got up and left. After a while, he answered.

   "Almost, I'm sorry, I can only be a friend for a while." He said sincerely, and then quickly left as if he was avoiding something.

  This is the price of joining the Elimination Organization, or the price of knowing the dark thing. Joey seems to be a normal person, but like Lorenzo, he has no normal life for a long time.

  Of course, there are still some advantages. For example, if Joey hates someone, he can communicate more with him. If he has nothing to do, he will come out for a meal and go shopping. It may not be long before that old man will be knocked on the door by the demon.

  He walked out quickly. According to the time, he should be back on duty. Although it didn't take long to come out, he hoped that nothing would happen.

The whole situation in Old Dunling became more and more serious. It is also for this reason that Joey was also very tired and could not bear it. He came to the mutual aid association to adjust his mood. The communication between people can really be a lot of comfort, but Immediately afterwards, his pace suddenly stopped, and he turned his head back like a ghost.

Joey stood on the street and looked at the place where he had just come out. The tall buildings were built with white bricks. The years left countless scratches on them. New shoots grew in the gaps, all of them. Telling its age.

He clearly remembered that the mutual aid association was not here before, but in a small house between the buildings, but when he came today, they were informed that they had moved here. Joey always had a weird feeling, but he couldn’t say no. come out.

Joey remembers this place, its name is St. Mary’s Cathedral, but with the loneliness of the gospel church and the passing of faith, those names have never been mentioned. Few people come here. It is so magnificent, but like It was forgotten deliberately.

  The change of time, more people have forgotten its name, but simply call it the White Church according to its crude appearance.

Time is running out. Joey resisted the strange feeling. He comforted himself that it was a normal phenomenon. After all, people fighting against demons would have some mental problems more or less, and he would not leave without leaving. After leaving, the groaning voice sounded again. From behind the white wall, it seemed that someone was singing loudly in it.

  The melody rises until it reaches the highest point and crashes down.
