Ember Gun

  Chapter 168 Reason

   "Are you pretending to sleep?"

Yawei looked at the small group on the bed. Although he didn't make a sound, he had taken care of Seleu for so long. He knew that the girl was awake.

   was seen through, and Seleu sat up slowly. She slept well this time, and she seemed more energetic.

   "It reminds me of when you first came home."

Yawei said with some nostalgia.

Seleuc, who had returned from Gallunaro at the time, was full of distrust of the world. For her at the time, she didn't even know what Stuart's house was. She didn't even have such a concept, like a wild cat. Hiding in various corners of the mansion, even sleeping is uneasy.

  It took a long time for this situation to get better, just like this girl re-trusted the world, or she learned to pretend to be herself.

   "This is what Lorenzo taught me. If I feel something wrong when I wake up, just pretend to sleep and observe the environment."

  The girl said.

  Lorenzo may be the guy who has the greatest influence on her life. The second-rate detective has instilled a lot of strange knowledge for Seleuc, and this knowledge is still used in her actions.

"He said this was what he learned from countless beatings. It's like being caught by an enemy and locked you up. As long as you wake up, you will be tortured. In that case, it is better to close your eyes and pretend to be dead. The bitterness of flesh and skin."

   sounded full of unpredictable meanness.

  "It's a bit unexpected, it doesn't look like what the guy said."

  Yawei looked at Seleuth's energy, and he was also very happy.

  In Yawei’s impression, Lorenzo couldn’t get along with things like neuroticism. In his opinion, Lorenzo was a very dangerous guy. All this was just a disguise.

   "Indeed, Lorenzo is essentially a demon hunter. These are just what he learned at the Royal Academy of Art. He said that rather than making a cold face, this kind of cheerful appearance can mix into the crowd."

   Seleuc recalled and judged Lorenzo, his harsh and flawed character.

   "So where am I now?"

   Lifted his head and looked at the room. There was no extra decoration, but cold steel and pipes. It seemed to be in the body of a huge machine. Someone built this room between the gaps of the machine.

   "I don't know. They blindfolded me on the way here. It seems that they are not willing to let others know about this."

Yawei replied.

   "I am also a shareholder, so why don't I have this power?"

  Seleu said and laughed, but her expression was still so cold. In fact, she knew very well that she was not a shareholder. It was just a step for the removal agency that it felt difficult to deal with.

  It is a purely violent agency. They are only responsible to the Queen in the Platinum Palace. No one can order them except for orders from there.

  Efficient, decisive, and cold, abandoning all weakness and hesitation, abandoning all the inferiorities of human beings, and therefore can build a barrier of hope in the flood of demons.

   Long sighed, this time Seleu became the center of the vortex, although she didn't understand why, thinking of this, she recalled the last fragment of memory, the demon hunter who came violently.

   "Where is Lorenzo? Why is he not here?"

   "Send us here and he left."

   said the old butler.

  "You seem to like him very much, even if you are so angry with you, don't you be angry?"

  Forcibly use tranquilizers, and whoever does it will be a little angry, let alone Seleu, she is the future duchess, Lorenzo can see the provocation to the family in everything that Lorenzo does.

"Of course."

  She walked out of bed, feeling okay physically, she could run and jump without any major problems.

   "Of course I won't be angry anymore... I trust him very much."

   Seleuc said.

"Actually, Yawei, I know what you mean. I am Stuart's heir, the future duchess. I have power and wealth, everything that others can't get in my life... I should be arrogant and fearless, right? ?"

Yawei looked at her silently, without speaking.

  "You feel very puzzled. It is obvious that the family treats me so well, why do I still like to run around with that neuropathy."

  "I know all of these...but, it's just that I never felt that I really have these, Yawei."

  Seleu sat back on the bed and looked at the closed iron door. It seemed that it had been locked, and he could only wait for someone to open it from the outside.

   "I am a beggar, just because I was lucky to have Stuart's blood. The noble one is not me, but the blood flowing in my body."

   "So, even now, do you still feel like a beggar?"

Yawei slowly got up and sat next to Seleu. His old face was a bit sad. He seemed to want to say something, and asked a little hesitantly, as if there was a secret to escape uncontrollably.

  Ke Seleu did not answer these, but continued to speak.

  "My most unforgettable time was actually the escape journey from Galunaro. It should have been my happiest day."

   "Just because Lorenzo rescued you from there?"

   Yawei looked at her with some doubts.

  It was a young and ignorant age, and all the feelings were the purest and most passionate.

  Ordinary girls are dancing in their favorite dresses, but it was such a helpless environment at the time. Perhaps Seleu was attached to Lorenzo at that time.

   "No, it's not."

   Strangely, Seleuc rejected this conclusion.

   "It's that moment."

  She emphasized.

   "It's very cold, those guys are not friendly, there are no relatives, only me, a helpless beggar... That should be my most desperate moment."

  The past that is forced to remember, in a shabby and cold alley, a branch world where Lorenzo does not exist.

   "It's just because of that moment. At that time, let alone Lorenzo, even if a wild dog took me out, I will always like it. It's just that moment, and then he happened to appear."

  A lunatic carried Winchester and kicked open the dark door, so light came down.

   "Hmm... although he just wants to get that good reward."

   Seleuc said helplessly, that neurosis lied to himself all the way, and brought him back at the risk of death, only for the reward...but it was still worthy of memory.

   "Although you say so much, I still can't like that **** guy."

Yawei said lightly.

   Said with a smile on this.

   “You don’t have to force yourself, you don’t need to like everyone, and you don’t need to be liked by everyone...Just one or two is enough.”

  Although humans are social animals, there are not many connections between people. At some point, you will find that although you can see many people every day, there are only a few people who can really get along with you all the time.

   "Then... Is he really worthy of your trust?"

Yawei asked, he seemed to understand girls a little bit.

  The girl's smile gradually froze, she hesitated, and then shook her head.

   "Lorenzo Holmes is a very strange person, in fact, he is a real autistic, the meaning of his existence...too fragile."

"Everyone has the meaning of existence. In order to continue the Stuart family and inherit the honorable glory, you need to assist me and complete your own mission. But Lorenzo is different. In fact, the meaning of his existence is only It is to eradicate demons, but can he really do it?"

   "Like an untouchable dream."

  Seleu looked at the hidden soul. He was bathed in sunlight, transparent and clear.

"If you observe his room carefully, you will find this. Lorenzo's room does not have any sense of'life'. For him, it is just a place to sleep. If necessary, he can carry a shotgun. Leave directly and never come back."

  "Except for the ultimate goal, there is nothing worthy of his concern, even me."

  While speaking, Seleu looked at Yawei on the side. The old housekeeper has served the Stuart family all his life, witnessing them from glory to end, from luxuriant to almost extinct.

  The years are engraved on that old face, perhaps because he has witnessed too much, his soft face is hardened without too much expression.

   "I'm so sorry."

  Seleu said suddenly, and then hugged the old butler. Now Yawei's figure is still quite strong, and Seleu can't hold him.

"what happened?"

   Yahweh didn’t understand that Seleuc was not usually as sentimental as he is now.

   "I just feel very sorry. You spent so much money. Wasn't Lorenzo hired to keep Stuart going? But I always don't like it, and it's causing you trouble."

   "You feel like you were told before you die, do you know?"

   "Probably, I just think there are a lot of things. If you don't say it, there will be no chance."

  Seleu hugged Yahweh and looked over his shoulder at the cold wall.

  From Yahweh’s point of view, he and Seleu were the only ones in this room, and there was a roaring mechanical sound that came from there.

  But in Seleu's ears, the faint dog barking echoed, unwilling to make the calm fall.

  That is the voice only she can hear.

The   beacon has been planted, and the reverberating pressure is eroding Seleu's will, only waiting for her most exhausted moment, taking advantage of the emptiness.

  She is just an ordinary person, but at the moment she is peeped at by the invisible thing, it is everywhere, chasing Seleu.

  Seleu didn’t want Yavedo to worry about anything. He was just an elderly housekeeper. Faced with the monster, he might have suffered a cardiac arrest due to fear of erosion. He was really helpless when he was old.

   let go of Yawei, Seleuc grinned reluctantly, she said.

   "But I have to give hope to that demon hunter, right, I think he's pretty good."

  She said this, and then the door was opened, and the faint dog barking disappeared for a moment, as if something was coming, and they retreated out of fear.

  Lorenzo stood at the door with a vague expression, behind him stood Arthur, it seemed that a decision had been made between them.

  The atmosphere is a bit depressed, as if a storm is coming.
