Ember Gun

  Chapter 221 Father and Daughter

  "One is the "Gospel" that established the Gospel Church, and the other is the "Revelation" that established the Hunter's Order."

In the study, Arthur looked down at the text on the paper. This was the information he learned from Lorenzo's mouth, but in the final analysis, he was just a demon hunter. Although he was from the Medanzo faction, he was also a guard. The security, the more confidential part, the demon hunter knew nothing, but at least it also allowed Arthur to see the framework of all the mysteries.

  In the short whisper, Arthur's eyes were solemn, staring at the word.

  North.

  What's in the north? Vikings, icy sea, cold wind, eternal night and extreme day...

  In the eyes of ordinary people, this is what the North has, the forbidden zone of life, and only those who are not afraid of death are willing to venture there.

  From Arthur’s point of view, he certainly knew what was in the north. Those ascetic monks named the Secret Keepers, but he didn’t expect that there would be something related to the origin of the gospel church.

After pondering for a long time, he decided to give up thinking about their connection with the secret guards. After all, once this involves the secret guards, it will become extremely complicated. The last time the cleansing agency had contact with the mysterious secret guards was years ago, Mei Lin Going to the north in person, but the Secret Keeper did not see him, this hapless alchemist was almost frozen to death on the ice sheet.

  He has a headache, rubbing his temples, looking extremely distressed.

   "Oh, a book, to be honest, it's too easy to hide a book in such a vast land."

Since the death of Lawrence, the primary task of cleaning the organs has been to search for the whereabouts of the "Revelation", but they have found nothing so far, and with the passage of time, the mission from Fei Lengcui, the flight of Cardinal Miguel... All of this seems to point to the "Revelation", a book that no one has ever seen before, becoming the center of the vortex.

   "You look like you need a break."

  Blue Jade came from the side and brought tea to Arthur.

After Lawrence appeared for the first time, everyone realized the terrifying single combat capability of the Demon Hunters. They themselves were strategic weapons that could walk on their own. It couldn't be easier to assassinate some important targets. After that, Arthur They have added bodyguards for all important people.

Although it is still a little weak against the demon hunter, at least I can feel a little bit of security. This time, the blue jade is responsible for protecting Arthur, but the function of the blue jade at the moment is more like a person than protecting Arthur. nanny.

   "Oh oh oh! You are so sweet!"

   Arthur took the tea as he said.

Although Lan Jade said that she cares about Arthur, her expression is extremely cold. In her words, according to her career plan, she should have killed a certain rich man by now, holding his inheritance on the beach. The sun, instead of serving Arthur here.

   "Oh, with a lady with me, time flies quickly."

  Arthur glanced at the time, and it was almost time for Eve to return from get off work.

   "I think every minute seems long." Lan Jade said unceremoniously, which made Arthur a little embarrassed.

   "Don't do this, you look like an annoying boss."

   "Isn't it?" Unlike the others, Lan Jade was abducted by Arthur halfway through the car. If he didn't work for him, Lan Jade would be sent to prison.

   "Do you still need someone to protect? After all, what are you... Captain Inervig!"

  Blue Jade then said, showing no guard in front of Arthur, but his mouth fell apart, and the tasks Arthur gave her could still be executed efficiently.

Captain Inervig, as a product of the Ranger plan, Arthur is a degraded version of the Demon Hunter in terms of physical fitness. Although not as strong as the Demon Hunter, it is also considered to be a very outstanding group of mortal bodies. At that time, Lan Jade was thinking that there is a real crisis, whether it is to protect Arthur or Arthur to protect himself?

   "I found you a free job. Now Kestrels are still working overtime to search? And you just need to be with me by my side."

  Lan Jade’s disgusted face made Arthur feel even more uncomfortable.

   "Follow you? Feel your old male hormones?"

   Arthur was extremely embarrassed. He had never thought that Blue Jade could be so venomous.

   "Okay, okay, I have to admit that I let you come for another purpose."

   Arthur, who has always been strong, is rarely weak. It seems that there is something that requires Blue Jade.

   "What's the matter?" Lan Jade did not expect that Arthur really needed herself for something. She had always ridiculed Arthur before, and did not respect the boss very much. The purpose was to get out of this madman's paradise as soon as possible.

   "You look like Eve."

  Arthur put away the file, and today’s work seems to be over.

He manages the absolutely violent organization of the Elimination Organization, and can mobilize countless heavy firepower to carry out long-range artillery bombardment. Arthur is too powerful, but such a person is not omnipotent. For example, for his position The daughter of the rebellious period.

  Thinking of this, Arthur felt a headache.

  "Wait a minute..."

  Hearing this, Lan Jade's eyes became worse.

  "It’s not what you think, I mean your...their personality is very similar."

   Arthur hesitated, as if he was thinking about how to explain this to Lan Jade.

   "She is like a childish adult, and you are similar to her, but without those childishness."

   "It's like never experienced the severe beating of society, right?"

  Blue Emerald said accurately.

   "Hmm... almost." Arthur actually nodded in affirmation, and then he sighed.

"Phoenix's family is almost dead, only me and her are left. Eliminating the agency is still a high-risk department. When I die, she will be alone... Eve doesn't understand this, she wants to know that she is What's wrong, but sometimes this truth puts her in danger."

Arthur’s expression seemed very low. As a martial arts nobleman, too many people from the Phoenix family died in the glorious war. Just like Eve’s brothers, they all gave their lives when the war was about to end. Arthur lost all his children at that time.

  "Lorrenzo, for example?" Lan Jade asked.

  It seems that the cause of everything is Lorenzo. The appearance of that guy involved everyone in trouble, but Arthur shook his head. It is rare. He did not blame Lorenzo.

"It's not his fault. Just like Merlin said, the connection between monsters and darkness, Eve relied on them to survive, but in the same way, the connection has existed for a long time. It's only postponed. Even if Lorenzo doesn't appear, there may be another person, another thing, that will bring her back into the dark embrace."

  Arthur was extremely sad.

   "I am worried about her, just as she feels that I am overly indulgent. Without this, maybe she would be caught by the darkness earlier."

  Blue Jade felt the worries on Arthur. This was the distress of a father, not the person in charge of the cleansing agency.

   "It would be fine if my father was like you." Lan Jade said lightly, the memory was heavy and light.

   "He is a good person, but war can easily change people, and no matter how strong the will is, it will be shattered under the gunfire." Arthur said.

  Blue Jade looked a bit surprised. It seemed that Arthur had never expected Arthur to know about her father. She said annoyedly, "It's a Shrike, right? I only told him."

  When they acted in Ende Town, the two of them were besieged by demons. They talked to each other when they were about to die, or read their will. It was at that time that Lan Jade confided to Shrike the unknown past.

  "It’s not a Shrike, do you really think that the cleansing agency will not investigate your past?"

  The corners of Arthur's mouth lifted slightly, not at all stable.

   "Although it is said that the decontamination agency will accept those who are capable, there will be more or less background checks."

  Blue Jade was silent. She killed her father with her own hands. She thought she had done the right thing. After so long, she didn't know whether it was right or wrong. She just replied briefly.

   "That was my mistake."

   "People always make mistakes. Some mistakes can be saved, but some mistakes are irreparable." Arthur said slowly.

  People always do wrong things, but some wrong things are chasing you like a shadow, reminding you of the pain and alerting you.

   "I don't want Eve to be my fault." Since Arthur's wife died, his only warmth has been given to her.

   "Actually, you can tell her." Lan Feicui seems to know these hidden facts. Although it was not very early to join the decontamination agency, she had also vaguely heard of those things.

  "How do you tell her?" Arthur looked distressed. "Tell her that it is because of her that her mother died? It shouldn't be like this, Lan Jade."

   Arthur usually doesn’t smoke, but at this time, he couldn’t help taking out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer. It seemed to be quite old, and even the cigarette paper was a little wrinkled and yellowed.

   "I haven't smoked a cigarette since she died...to be precise, she smokes very little. Only when she is like this, I can't help but get one."

   Arthur lit the tobacco, which he did not know how many years ago, and the smell of his nose rose, but he indifferently smoked it.

   "Eve is a bit naive, childish, and a bit strangely sense of justice... Actually these sound stupid, but sometimes this **** world is like this, and honest people are laughed at."

   Arthur slowly stated that perhaps it was the work these days that really made him tired, and he seemed to be talking about his boredom for so long.

   "Insidious and cunning guys can live long."

  He sighed, "But...it shouldn’t be like this, this world shouldn’t be like this, but sometimes I also think that Eve wants to be a police detective and it’s quite stupid to punish evil and promote good."

  Arthur’s words are full of contradictions and self-deprecating.

   "When I thought about this, I suddenly realized this. I was terrified. After staying in the dark for too long, I became such a person."

  He looked at the blue jade, his tone was full of helplessness and fear.

"I have also been'eroded' by demons, and my thoughts have become so dirty. The so-called'punish evil and promote good' has also become stupid in my eyes. It shouldn't be like this, I shouldn't be like this. "

  I don’t know why Arthur suddenly thought of Lorenzo, that neurosis is always bad words, but sometimes those bad words have strange philosophies.

   "I have become like this, a boring adult."

Thinking of this, Arthur laughed instead. If Lorenzo hadn't always taken Eve to take an adventure, he would still like this detective. In such a terrible situation, he could tell some bad things and jokes to liven up the atmosphere, so that even if he goes there Death became less depressing.

Lan Jade beside    said calmly.

   "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you."

   "It's more than just staring, Blue Jade, we are already in the abyss, and under the skin of a mortal, the heart of flesh and blood has become as hard as iron stone."

  The cigarette went out. Perhaps it was damp due to long-term storage. It could not be ignited completely. Arthur threw it on the ground and crushed it with his feet.

   "But Eve can't. She can't walk into the abyss. She is a good boy, innocent or childish. This is all hers. You can't let those dirty ghosts get caught."

   "You are like a towering tree, blocking all the wind and rain. She grows up safely under your protection... But one day the tree collapses?" Lan Jade asked.

  These words were like cold rain, extinguishing the anger that Arthur had just ignited, and the old guy slumped in the chair with a dejected expression.

   "Yeah, what should I do if I die? People will always die. Who can take care of her when I die?"

   Arthur murmured to himself, the man who ruled thousands of troops was essentially just an ordinary person, an ordinary old guy.

"My family, friends, and familiar people are all dead, in the glorious war, or buried under the claws of the demon... The only few who can be regarded as acquaintances are also like Merlin, those The alchemist is the true heart of iron and stone, who has no desires and desires, and only longs for the truth."

  I don’t know how many times I sighed tonight, Arthur said slowly.

   "Well, it's been a long time since I vented such emotions. The older people are, the more they become like this. Many things are hard to explain."

  He looked at Lan Jade, and then said, "Then would you please help me?"

   "I don't know how to help you." Can Lan Jade never accept such a commission to deal with family disputes?

   "You guys are very similar in character. Just talk to her more. Eve doesn't have any friends, after all, sometimes identity becomes a bondage."

  Blue Jade continued to be silent, and his expression seemed a little helpless, then Arthur continued.

   "Calculate your performance and bonuses."

  Blue Jade became even more silent, and it took a long time before she said, "Will she understand you?"

Arthur didn’t want Eve to know that. He didn’t dare to think about the result of Eve knowing the truth. She was a little naive and childish girl. The cruel truth might turn her into the same heart of iron and stone. There is no shortage of her in the world. Such a flower, but it was the only one for Arthur.

   "Yes, Eve will understand it, it's just a matter of time." Arthur seemed extremely confident, and he looked at Lan Jade.

   "Don't you understand your father?"

Lan Jade was startled. She didn't know how to answer. A strange sense of sorrow and grief overflowed from the iron stone, as if everything had returned to that stormy night. The man fell drunk in the snow, and his mother begged, but Silent myself.

   "Perhaps," she replied.
