Ember Gun

  Chapter 281 Pure Human

   "Lorenzo Medici..."

  The man turned his chair out of the window, looked at the never-ending rain curtain, and whispered the long-lost name.

  When a person lives for too long, those past memories become unfamiliar. Looking back now, there is actually an illusion that it comes from another person’s memory.

  The epidemic doctor pushed the door slightly open, revealing a gap. He looked at Lawrence with some curiosity. Since a few days ago, this guy has become very strange, always whispering the old name in an empty room.

   "Epidemic doctor."

   Lawrence said suddenly, he seemed to know that the epidemic doctor was by the door.

  The epidemic doctor didn't hide it, opened the door and walked over.

  "What are you talking about?" the epidemic doctor asked.

If everything is not advancing as expected, the epidemic doctor will even think that Lawrence has some mental problems, but if there are any mental problems, he also feels normal. After all, Lawrence has been reborn in that extremely taboo way. .

  Young and strong body, after so long of hard work, he finally got out of the cage of flesh and blood.

  "A...friend, teacher, enemy..."

  Speaking of that person, Lawrence looked complicated.

   "That Lorenzo Medici?" the epidemic doctor asked.

He knew this name, the great Medici Cardinal, who brought the evangelical church into the golden age, and because of his fall, the fascinating golden age collapsed. It can be said that he is in the history of the church. A very legendary one, but with his death, his deeds have gradually declined, and no one knows those anymore.

  Lawrence nodded, a little proud and a little grateful.

   "I am from his era, and I have witnessed his rise and fall with my own eyes."

   seems to have touched the memory, and the young face has melancholy that does not match this age.

  The epidemic doctor keenly perceives the difference of Lawrence. Lawrence is a very arrogant person. Although he always puts on a humble appearance, the epidemic doctor is very clear that this is a kind of arrogance of a superior.

After knowing the date of his death, this guy was fearless, as if nothing in the world could shock his mind, but when the ancient name was mentioned, this guy was rarely in awe and sincerely In awe.

   "But he is dead, isn't he?" said the epidemic doctor.

  In that burning night, not only the old cult, but also the great man died. His life was so legendary and should have come to a brilliant ending, but in the end there was nothing, and he died so easily.

  But immediately after the epidemic doctor realized what, under the beak mask, those eyes looked at Lawrence vigilantly.

  The cause of the death of Cardinal Medici is unknown, but it is speculated that he should have died on the night of Holy Prophet, and the culprit of that night is now in front of him.

   "Did you kill him?"

After a long silence, Lawrence nodded slightly.

The epidemic doctor froze in place, the mask blocked his expression, and the heavy clothes isolated all his reactions. Although the surface remained calm, the epidemic doctor became deeply afraid of Lawrence.

He and Lawrence have worked together for a long time. The two monsters are plotting evil things, the Holy Grail flesh and blood, "Revelation", inferior secret blood...The Epidemic Doctor has witnessed so many evils, so much that he had never imagined before. Everything he had lived, but sometimes he would also be grateful to Lawrence. Without this madman, perhaps he would never have acquired that knowledge.

   But even so, these secrets are still not all of Lawrence. The future he sees, the reason for the Holy Night, and the killing of the Medici Cardinal...

   "That is a great man who can lead an era...It can be said that he made me."

  Lawrence couldn't help but miss, and whispered about the past.

  He couldn't help smiling.

   "The Epidemic Doctor, without him, I might have died decades ago.

  He is a very ambitious guy...There is no shortage of careerists in this world, but he is different from everyone I have ever met. He really wants to build a great and never-ending golden age. "

  Lawrence looked at the hazy rain curtain. The heavy rain still showed no signs of stopping. Tens of thousands of raindrops covered every part of the old Dunling, washing the muddy air clean and baptizing the filthy world.

  "The Epidemic Doctor, you have not personally contacted him, you can't imagine his horror, that guy is a pure human, with pure will.

  He secretly dominated the entire gospel church, even the pope became a poor puppet, but this was not enough, it was far from enough for him, and he finally reached out to the Demon Hunting Order. "

  The whole Fei Lengcui was in the shadow of Cardinal Medici, but Lawrence felt that the sky was extremely sunny at that time.

"I was chosen. I had just become a demon hunter at that time. He secretly supported me and made me a patriarch. He also broke the iron law of the church and made me the cardinal. Fei Lengcui was firmly grasped in his hands."

   "You... admire him?"

   Very surprised, the epidemic doctor can only feel this kind of emotion in Lawrence's words.

"Of course, I have to thank him for everything I have today. Although I have become a puppet in his hands, at least I am still alive... I may be the longest alive demon hunter," Lawrence said. , Asked meaningfully, "Do you know the ending of those demon hunters?"

  It was a disturbing secret, but Lawrence smiled and continued.

"My feelings for him are very complicated. The Epidemic Doctor. He had already shown his fangs when I was young. When I served him, I never felt the anxiety and restraint of the puppet. Instead, I felt that I was with him. Do a great thing, and even say that I will die for him at that time, I am willing to..."

   "But you killed him in the end." The epidemic doctor said.

   "Yes, human beings are very complicated and will always become enemies for various reasons.

  But I didn't kill him personally, but sent some hands. After all, I was still in the Silent Temple at the time, and I had more important things to do. "

   Lawrence sighed.

"Humanity is after all human beings, bound by mortal bodies, the same is true for Cardinal Medici. With his age, his control over the church is getting weaker and weaker, and in the end he seems to be tired, and he simply gave up everything. Power, reclusive.

I was also free at that time. Those who were dominated by him were free at that time, but with his departure, a new round of disputes began, and I was also involved. After all I am a demon hunter, a demon hunter who has power and has lived for a long time. My existence makes everyone feel uneasy. "

  Lawrence chuckled softly. This is a story a long time ago.

   "Then there is a cliché power struggle, but this story has a small reversal at the end."

  The epidemic doctor was startled, and then said.

  "What do you see in the future?"

   "Almost. Anyway, I re-examined the world, the Gospel Church, the Demon Slayer, the humans, and the demons. Then I discovered something very interesting."

  Lawrence’s words are full of awe, telling a legendary past.

"At that time, I was surprised to find that Cardinal Medici was still controlling the entire church for so many years after his seclusion. This is a bit complicated to explain, but in fact, with his seclusion, the golden age is rapidly No one had expected the curtain to end so quickly.

   Then came the struggle for internal power. I became the thorn in the pope's eyes. They feared and awed the power of the demon hunters, so we set off a dispute in the dark. This dispute lasted for many years, and only one person stayed out.

  I thought it was his revenge on people, but it was not right. I discovered his actions by accident. The Medici Cardinal is still planning something..."

  The epidemic doctor suddenly felt inexplicably depressed. It seemed that a terrible secret was about to emerge before his eyes, exuding a nauseating stench.

   "It's really him... how could a person like this willingly die in that body that is aging?"

   Lawrence asked suddenly.

   "The Epidemic Doctor, you haven't seen "Revelation" yet, have you?"

  The epidemic doctor nodded. Although he had been in contact for so long, Lawrence had never shown the "Revelation" to him. He didn't even know what kind of book it was, or even if it was a book.

  "Would you like to take a look, then?"

  Lawrence took out an ordinary book from his arms and slapped it on the table.

For a while, the epidemic doctor felt that the air had solidified. He stared at the ordinary book on the desk. It was much larger than the normal book. It had a dark green cover and a solid color without any extra words. Look. It's on the back packaging.

""Revelation"?"

  The epidemic doctor's mind was blank at this moment, followed by extremely complex emotions.

  This is the "Apocalypse" that everyone is looking for. It is so ordinary, so it is carried by Lawrence at any time.

   "Can... is it okay?"

  After realizing that this book is "Revelation", it seems that something mysterious has awakened. For a moment, the ears were filled with low and light words, and countless people seemed to be whispering.

  It tempted the epidemic doctor, pulling him with countless hands and guiding him to the forbidden book. The epidemic doctor was about to touch it, but at this moment his hand stopped.

  Heavy breathing came from under the beak mask. After a fierce struggle, the epidemic turned around vigorously and stopped reading the book.

   "It's weird, isn't it? It's an ordinary book when you don't realize what it is, but when you know what it is, that terrible power tempts your mind."

  Lawrence stretched out his hand and gently stroked the surface of the book.

"The most dangerous aspect of "Revelation" is the cursed knowledge. Many people go crazy after reading it. Even if they are not crazy, it is difficult for those guys to repeat the knowledge they have seen, so the evangelical church never worry about it. Security."

Those who tried to steal "Apocalypse", when they realized that the book is "Apocalypse", their death date has been set, just like the epidemic doctor just now, they were tempted to open the book, and then stay there. Died under the power of terror.

   "Can you bear the temptation?"

  The epidemic doctor couldn't believe it. He was eager for knowledge, but at this moment that desire had completely disappeared. He couldn't believe what would happen if he had just opened the book.

"Reluctantly, you need an extremely firm will to face it. As long as we are not affected by those words, we can get knowledge from it. But there are very few people with such a will. The number of people who died was countless."

  Lawrence smiled and looked at the epidemic doctor who was behind him, and praised him.

"Your will is also very strong, Epidemic Doctor. When I first came into contact with it, I was more embarrassed than you. I was tempted and almost opened it. In order to save me, Cardinal Medici cut it with a sword. The pain of death rescued me from that temptation."

The epidemic doctor tried his best to calm his excitement. Only at this time did he know what strange things these people were looking for. He also understood the reason why Lawrence was fearless. Who of those witch hunters could be under such temptation? Don't turn the pages of the book?

   "No... wait, Cardinal Medici?"

  The epidemic doctor suddenly realized another person, the person who exists in Lawrence’s story.

  Before he betrayed the gospel church, Lawrence had seen "Revelation" and was with Cardinal Medici.

   "Lorenzo Medici... he is a born demon hunter, but unfortunately he has no secret blood. He is a pure human with pure will.

Epidemic doctor, I have never seen a person like that. When he faced "Revelation", he didn't feel any strangeness. Under the iron will, the so-called temptation became nothingness, and he opened it so casually. Book pages, looking for the knowledge you need..."

  Lawrence’s words were filled with fear.

   "His terrifying will is not like a human being..."

   "But he still died, not even killed by your own hands." The epidemic doctor said.

  But Lawrence laughed loudly as if he had heard a joke, until the laugh was a little painful, he stopped, and recounted the trick that had lasted for some time.

  "Do you think such a monster would die so easily?"

  The epidemic doctor felt cold.

   "The Medici Cardinal still affects the entire Fei Lengcui after he retired. He did not leave, but to return."

  Countless clues were pieced together in my mind, the dark cloud was dispersed, and the epidemic doctor suddenly understood everything.

   "Lorenzo Medici had seen "Revelation"..."

  He looked at the young freshman Lawrence, and for a moment he felt a great fear, and that fear almost teared and shattered his will.

   "Yes... I can find this hidden power in it. How can this be hidden from him? I even suspect that my betrayal was calculated by him."

  Lawrence’s tone was full of awe, and it wasn’t until so many years later that he suddenly realized that the biggest winner of Saint's Night was not him, but the great Lorenzo Medici.

   "He is still alive, the man who is like a monster is still alive..."
