Ember Gun

  Chapter 243 Mutual Aid Association

  The old dull cold wind blew his cheeks. Perhaps it was time to discharge, and the fog on the street increased significantly. They rolled turbulently, one after another black shadows appeared in it, and then broke through the water mist and hurriedly walked on the street.

  When Hercule said those, the chaotic trails were instantly clear in Lorenzo's mind, from the cause to the result, from the people to their attempts.

Lorenzo naturally knows what happened in the north, where he killed Lawrence, which also led to the search for the "Revelation." Similarly, it attracted not only the cleansing of institutions and evangelical churches, but also those Exile, everything is reasonable after thinking about it.

  Shermans did not arrive at Old Dunling to escape, he was also looking for "Apocalypse", which would allow them to recapture everything.

  At this moment, Lorenzo didn't care about hunting down Shermans, but to warn the elimination of the organs. For the "Revelation" contention, not only the current people, but also those hidden in the shadows.

  Lorenzo is fast, he must bring this news to Arthur as soon as possible, vigilant and vigilant, for this kind of thing, Lorenzo still needs to cleanse the giant organ.

  Maybe this is hard work, Lorenzo feels like he is on the move all day, arriving from one place to another.

From the beginning to the end, Arthur did not disclose the specific location of the cleansing organ. At first Lorenzo did not care much, but in the current situation, Arthur is actually defending himself, after all, with the power of the demon hunter. , If you can really sneak in, it would be too simple to put them in one pot.

  But in order to cooperate, Arthur still made certain concessions, such as giving Lorenzo a specific contact point, but Lorenzo is more willing to call that place as the staff dormitory than the contact point.

   rushed into the building on the street, the guard saw Lorenzo's appearance clearly, and gave him permission according to the passage regulations. Then, according to the house number in his memory, Lorenzo kicked the door open and shouted loudly.

   "Joy!"

   In the crisp sound of loading, several people turned to the sofa and used it as a cover, then set up their guns and pointed at Lorenzo. Just when they were about to fire, they could see Lorenzo's face clearly.

   "Mr. Holmes?"

  A few people recognized Lorenzo, and when they were frightened, they slowly put away their guns. Some people looked scared and sad.

   "Can you knock on the door well?"

  These people are permanent residents here, and here is one of the dozens of strongholds scattered throughout the old Dunling by the cleaning agency.

  They are well hidden, they look like an ordinary residential building from the outside, but if an unlucky thief wants to come in and steal something, he may not even be able to pass the doorman at the bottom of the building.

  But although it is a stronghold, Lorenzo prefers to call it a staff dormitory. If Joey has no extra tasks to do, he will usually be here.

The roar of the machine faintly sounded. In this living room, a steel pillar penetrated through it, and the shell was rubbed brightly. In the alternating gaps, you can see the rotating gears and the working machinery under it, and the indicator light flashes and goes out. As Lorenzo approached, it began to make a sharp noise.

  This is a large Geiger counter. One of the tasks of the base is to maintain it and collect data. The table is stacked next to it, and there are records and reports on it.

  Pass through the door next to the living room, which is Joey’s bedroom. It is estimated that many people will envy Joey. He only needs to walk a few steps from getting up to work.

The reason why Lorenzo calls it the staff dormitory is because of this. Joey does not seem to have a good relationship with his family. He only goes back to celebrate the festival on the birthday of God. Usually he lives here and sleeps with work. At the same time, Ai Gang is too dedicated.

  Lorenzo remembers that Kestrel lives in this kind of staff dormitory, but he has a lot of work now, and he is too busy to run around.

   "Where is the Joey?"

  These stationed employees could not touch the core of the incident, and Lorenzo had to notify Joey of it.

   "He's out." Someone said.

  "Out? Are there any temporary tasks?" Lorenzo asked, if there were no temporary tasks, Joey shouldn't leave here.

   "It should not be. To be precise, he is resting today." Another said. They knew that Lorenzo was an ally and should be considered their superior in the position, and they knew everything about it.

  "At this time, do you still have vacations at work?" Lorenzo felt a little surprised.

  The whole old Dunling is about to become a mess in secret. Lorenzo expected a group of people to stare at the dark circles and the risk of sudden death. It is right to work until death at the work station, but how can there be vacations? Are you sure it’s not absenteeism?

   "It’s okay to take a break...a day."

  They don’t understand Lorenzo’s current eagerness, except that the agency has a strict level of confidentiality of information. Many times after a battle, the outermost people like them don’t know what they are doing.

  This method can effectively prevent the spread of erosion. Just like the current base, these personnel only know the real-time index of the large Geiger counter, and they don’t know the other more critical ones.

   "Where did he go?" Lorenzo asked next.

  The whole unreliable place of the cleansing mechanism reappeared. Losing this contact person, Lorenzo could only go to the Xiacheng District to find a shrike.

  "This may be related to personal privacy."

  A few people knew, and they said hesitantly.

"what?"

  Lorenzo looked over, and couldn't think that this rest was related to personal privacy.

   "What? Did he go on a date?"

  ……

   "After all, this kind of thing is actually a bit hard to tell, so I cover it up very well... Probably, it's actually sucks, so bad that every time I come, my friends think I'm here for a date."

In the gentle and comfortable room, everyone sat in a circle with different chairs or sofas. Joey was also among them. He listened quietly and looked at the man who was talking. He was already the son of two children. Father, but when it comes to this, the wrinkled face still smiles awkwardly.

  The people present are male and female, and the age span is very wide, and the identity category is also different. It is simply a hodgepodge. It is reasonable to say that these people have no intersection, but at this moment they appear here neatly.

  The man is still talking, telling his current situation and ideological consciousness. Applause is heard from time to time, cheering for him.

   "To be honest, I didn't expect to see you here."

  Sig was a little frightened, but here he still overcomes his restraint and introversion, and speaks to Joey beside him with a little courage.

   "Neither did I expect, how long have you been here?"

  Joy remembers Sieg, he is Lorenzo’s roommate. Although he has not seen him many times, he is the infamous Lorenzo roommate after all. Joey can’t be impressed by him.

  From Joey’s point of view, those who can live with Lorenzo are not normal people.

  "It’s been a while, but I’ve never seen you. Do you rarely participate? Or is it your first time?"

   may be the reason for the same appearance here, which makes Sieg better accept Joey.

"Me too. I joined the mutual aid association a long time ago. This was suggested by my doctor at the time. He said that I should find people to chat more. But then my condition improved a lot, plus I was busy with work, so I came only once a month. , Maybe you didn't come when I came."

   Joey whispered, when the man's speech was over, and it was changed to another woman.

She burst into tears, talking about the hardships of life while talking about the dangers of being addicted to hallucinogens, and then thanked everyone. It was everyone who made her feel like a family member. Here everyone helps each other and makes progress together. Get rid of that hallucinogen.

  The more she talked, the more excited she became, and her face flushed. When she talked about the rise, she wanted to press everyone's heads and worship them as brothers together.

But there are many people who are in the same situation as her. They clapped vigorously or whistled. Not long after these people have just given up hallucinogens, their mental state is only approaching normal. When they encounter some happy things, they will Like this.

  Joey and Sigg, who had been abstaining for a long time, seemed much calmer at this moment, and they were clearly distinguished from the crowd.

This is a mutual aid association for hallucinogens. The members here are poor people who have been exposed to hallucinogens and have been ruined by it. However, everyone did not choose to fall, but worked hard to get rid of hallucinogens and strive to live a strong life. By.

  There are many such small groups in Old Dunling. Because of the hallucinogen problem, these things are a shame for many people and they don’t want to mention them to others. They have to get together like this and help each other.

  "Are you also troubled by hallucinogens?"

Sieg asked cautiously. He still doesn't know what this guy connected with Lorenzo did, but according to his guess, it should be the group of people who killed and killed in Xiacheng. It stands to reason. He should be with the hallucinogen all day long, so why would he choose to quit it?

   "Well, it's a very complicated and long-lasting thing. I haven't touched that kind of thing for a long time except for work. It's just that sometimes a lot of troubles can't be told to others, so I can only come here to find similar things."

  The kind mentioned by Joey refers to people like Sigg, who are troubled by hallucinogens and destroyed by hallucinogens.

Sometimes people are like this, they will instinctively identify things of the same kind, just like a strange balance. If you stand alone with everyone without wearing pants, you may bow your head in shame, but when everyone is When you are not wearing pants, you are most likely not only not ashamed, but also happily whistling.

Although it sounds a bit nonsense, Joey does. He rarely tells other people about hallucinogens. Even a colleague like the Kestrel, he only knows a rough idea. Only when this is here, Joey can Speak out the ones that are not, and without pressure, maybe this is also a kind of talking about people, talking about people, and talking about ghosts.

  "What about you? I am actually a work injury. Why did you touch the hallucinogen?"

   Joey asked curiously.

In fact, Sieg is lucky. If the hallucinogen he encounters is the kind mixed with secret blood, maybe he can see Lorenzo's heroic figure, and then be chopped off in the cheers of the demon hunter. Skull.

  Mentioning these, Sieg's expression was slightly shocked, and then he became melancholy. He smiled bitterly and shook his head.

   "Just like everyone else."

  He glanced at the people around him, everyone laughed and laughed, but there was a little numbness in the depths of his expression.

   "It's always because of some **** curiosity, or the mentality of giving it a try," Sieg said.

"Many people are not like this. They have inexplicable self-confidence in their self-control. They feel that they use it once and never touch it again. But the result is that they fall into the quagmire step by step. The more they struggle, the deeper they sink, until Inseparable from that filth."

  Sig's voice was full of regret.

   "Actually, I was lucky. I was able to wake up and didn't continue to be confused."

  Joy nodded, he could understand this, as a member of the cleansing mechanism, a high-level knight with a special spirit, but even this kind of him, in that psychedelic almost sinking.

   "Because of my work, I can't disclose too much, but like you said, I am similar to everyone here, with arrogant self-confidence, and then fell into the quagmire."

  Joy muttered. Although it has been a long time, it still awakens himself. He will come back here from time to time, which is the best proof.

   "Are you working... Are you working with Lorenzo?"

  For similar reasons, it is rare for Sieg to be wary of a stranger like Joey, and instead let go of his guard and chat with him.

  The atmosphere of the scene gradually became more enthusiastic. Several patients looked like they had seen it before. Now they are hugging each other and crying, and there is a group of people around cheering them.

   "Well, that's it."

  Joy doesn’t know how he mentioned Lorenzo.

  Two people listened to those people's confession and cheers, so you can talk with each other.

   "Actually, I envy Lorenzo." Sieg said suddenly for some reason.

  He looked at Joey and said with some hesitation, "Do you know Lorenzo?"

"learn?"

   "Well, you should be able to see that I am a bit introverted. Although I have been a roommate with Lorenzo for so long, I don't know anything about that guy. He is like a mystery."

  Joy smiled bitterly, "He is not a good thing, you better not know too much."

"I know, you may not know. Sometimes when he goes home, there is blood dripping on his clothes, and the amount of bleeding is so large that normal people have died long ago, but he is like a okay person, and he is too happy...the blood is other's."

  Sieg didn’t realize that his behavior was different from usual, even his words were different.

   "But sometimes people are like that, right?"

   "What do you... mean?" Joey didn't understand.

"Just like when we first came into contact with hallucinogens, we all knew it was filthy and dangerous, but we touched it...like you are standing on a tall building, you know that the closer you are to the edge, the more likely you are Falling down, but you can't help it, right? You can't help but stick out your head and look down at the magnificence below from the highest point."

  Sig said.

  "This is human inferiority. It is not so much curiosity as it is chasing danger."
