Ember Gun

  Chapter 378 Love Life

  121A Cork Street, Winchester Office.

  With the arrival of Arthur, the atmosphere of joy dropped to a freezing point.

   Arthur looked at Lorenzo's face carefully. He hadn't seen him for a month and a half. There was no obvious change in this guy, but he still looked like he hadn't been beaten in his memory.

   "I think? You have opened a store openly, presumably you are not going to hide, so the next step is to enjoy your retirement life, right? Be a serious detective?"

   Arthur stood outside for a long time before coming. Although these decorations are funny, it can be seen that Lorenzo is really ready to live, but the interior is still messy and a bit outrageous.

   "Winchester office? Sounds pretty good."

   Raising his head, the familiar Winchester is hanging on everyone's head, and the little poem carved on it is clearly visible.

   But even so, Arthur still remained skeptical about all this.

  "I think we are the same kind of people, and people like us have nothing to retire. There is only one ending waiting for us.

  ——Dead in the corner of the battlefield. "

Lorenzo was silent. He didn't seem to be eager to answer Arthur. He just looked at him with a playful smile. Under the gaze of that gaze, Arthur didn't know why. He felt that he was a person being observed. animal.

   "Is that so? Then you seem to have made enough preparations before you come to see me, a reason that I can't refuse even if I want to retire." Lorenzo asked.

   "Our research on demons... is about to usher in a huge breakthrough."

"How to say?"

"During the local war in the Black Mountain Hospital, Mordred, who was affected by erosion, woke up briefly when he took office. He talked a lot about the feelings of erosion, as well as those more secret parts. The Perpetual Pump and the Black Mountain Hospital are now Unite and conduct research on his intelligence."

   Arthur refers to the former Merlin, that is, William. He experienced the red news incident personally, and maybe he can find the story that can be concealed from him.

  Lorenzo's eyes narrowed slightly, becoming more and more like a fox, and he slowly said after a long time.

  "Have I said that I want to retire?"

  Lorenzo got up suddenly, stepped on the mess, and walked to Arthur's side.

  "But this firm..."

   Arthur was caught off guard by Lorenzo's sudden change. He had prepared a lot of words to bring Lorenzo back into his camp, but he did not expect that he would finally throw out such an answer.

   "Arthur, you have an inherent prejudice. Is there any necessary connection between my office and I continue to hack demons?" Lorenzo held Arthur's shoulders with an intimate look.

   "Also, I am a heinous wicked person. Is there a contradiction between me and a kind-hearted orphanage dean?"

Arthur was a little confused by Lorenzo's continuous words, but then Lorenzo sat down on the mahogany table, squashed the stand with his name on it, and looked at Ya with a wicked smile. Se.

  He is wearing ridiculous pajamas, but at the moment he is like a great man about to announce a great invention.

   Stretched out his finger to the blackboard on the side, which was full of jumbled handwriting, crooked.

  It is placed here without any concealment. Just now Seleu and Oscar passed by it, but no one paid any attention to the headache-inducing text on it.

   "Lorenzo...you..."

   Arthur looked at the handwriting on the blackboard, his eyes gradually stiffened.

   was full of analysis of demons. The scribbled handwriting listed a simple timetable. There were also some details of events. The corner of the text revealed great fear in Arthur.

  Lorenzo has been preparing these things here, he has been studying the roots of the demons, and at this moment a cold voice sounded.

   "Arthur, how can I retire? This is already a blood feud, the kind of endless death."

  Lorenzo opened his loose pajamas, two sharp armor hammers were placed next to him, he was far more vigilant than ever.

   "But, a good life is also to be enjoyed, what do you think?"

  The cold face melted away in the next moment, Lorenzo took a glass of wine from the kitchen with a bewitching smile, and brought one to Arthur.

"And, I miss you, the Queen Victoria behind you, after this incident, she has changed her mind more or less, right? As she saw, the Protestant Mission is far less reliable than me, so in the end, you The most suitable collaborator to eliminate the agency is still me."

  Lorenzo said as he handed Arthur a wine glass full of low-quality red wine.

  "But you still hide too many secrets, such as the part of the pseudo-Holy Grail."

   Arthur took the wine glass, still vigilant in his eyes.

   "I know that the reason for that part of the concealment is actually because I don't know what is going on." Lorenzo sat back in his seat, "but I want to understand now."

   "So you will explain all of this?"

   "Of course, the premise of cooperation is that the other party can feel at ease, right?"

  During this rest time, Lorenzo gradually understood everything based on the memories that he gradually recovered, plus the information given by Watson when he left.

  "Do you still trust us?"

  Arthur was skeptical of Lorenzo’s too friendly attitude. In the previous incident of the Protestant Group, they were forced by the Queen’s order, and they finally stood on the opposite side.

"of course not."

  Lorenzo’s answer is a bit surprising.

   "But you are the only choice, I can only trust you."

"Fighting against demons can't be solved by shouting slogans. I need a strong backup, a deadly arsenal, and even a group of troops who are not afraid of death. But all of this is too ridiculous with my own strength. And currently among these forces, I seem to be the only one who can choose from you."

  Lorenzo made his explanation.

   "Where is North Dro?"

  Arthur has always worried that Lorenzo will be taken away by the North Delro guys. Once he leaves the homeland of Inervig, the decontamination agency becomes weak for North Delro.

  "They can’t. After all, North Delos is just a group of businessmen. If the conditions are right, I don’t think they would mind selling monsters as products, but in the same way, if the price is right, they can also be hired to fight against the monsters."

  Although the only person in contact between Lorenzo and North Delro is Oscar, this guy can see North Delro, and the "country builders" after North Delro, their way of doing things.

  Although they don’t know the true purpose of these country builders, it can be understood that they are not absolutely opposed to demons. If they can achieve their goals, they don’t even mind the existence of demons.

   "Then toast to our hypocritical friendship!"

  Lorenzo said as he picked up the wine glass and touched Arthur, then drank the red wine in the glass.

   Arthur was completely driven by Lorenzo's rhythm. After clinking the glasses, he involuntarily drank the wine in the glass like Lorenzo, but his face showed an ugly expression.

   "What a strange smell."

   "Don't mind, after all, there is not much money left, so I just want to do it."

  Although he said so, Lorenzo looked at Arthur with contempt.

   "Then pick a time, I want to meet Merlin, I still have a lot of important information to communicate with him, and there is..."

  Lorenzo thought for a while, and finally said it.

   "I want to meet Queen Victoria."

  The scene fell silent for a while, Arthur looked at Lorenzo solemnly, and Lorenzo nonchalantly picked up the corner of his pajamas and wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth.

"This is what you said. Trust is really important. But that storm has wiped out the trust between us. If you want better cooperation, let me meet her in person. I want many things. It can be confirmed in person."

   "I...I will apply to her."

  Only with this condition, Arthur could not directly reply to Lorenzo.

  The entire Victorian royal family is haunted by the curse. Under that fragile physique, a little bit of damage may put Queen Victoria to death. If Lorenzo, a lunatic, is sent to see the queen, there is no guarantee what will happen.

  Said... Maybe Inervig just changed the queen like this?

   "But, Arthur, are you ready?"

  Lorenzo's emotions switched quickly. He had just laughed, but now he is serious again.

   "What do you mean?"

   "The next thing, a more in-depth study of monsters."

  Looking at Lorenzo's solemn expression, Arthur felt that his mouth was a bit dry for a while, and the whole atmosphere was suppressed as Lorenzo's mood changed.

"what happened."

   "I have a general conjecture about all of this, the cursed knowledge, the root of the monster, and this... a twisted world."

  Lorenzo's vision fell among the clutter, and a corner of a book was exposed. It was Shermans' notes.

   "But I don't know what will happen next, maybe something terrible will happen."

  This is a lie, and Lorenzo is very clear about what will happen if he goes deeper, those weird silencers.

One of Lorenzo Medici’s plans is to make 016 take the initiative to participate in [Sublimation]. In his opinion, the so-called Silent One seems to be a product of [Sublimation]. Instead of continuing to risk chasing them, it is better to create one yourself. .

  Finally, the experiment was successful. Watson appeared and became an inhuman and ghostly posture. In this state, she was indeed somewhat similar to the Silent, followed by the sublimation of Lorenzo Medici himself.

The story behind    is very clear. He failed and gave everything to Lorenzo. He continued to explore the [Border], explore the [Plague] named Demon, and look for [Patient Zero] that caused it all.

  Lorenzo did not dare to take risks. He was worried that if he rushed to study all of this, it would lead to the second Holy Night, and he also had a new doubt about all of this.

Watson and the Silent are so similar and intangible. The only difference is that Watson needs a certain medium to interfere with reality, just like she manipulates the black angel to rescue herself, but the Silent doesn’t have to be like this. If necessary, they can directly The structure of the body is made with the existing material, and then it interferes with reality.

  As for yourself, power·Gabriel...

  Lorenzo once asked Watson why the alchemy matrix he carried was obviously not this, but could control the power of the dual elements, and Watson's answer was not clear.

  The origin of all this "Apocalypse" has been lost, the detailed part is only recorded there, and all the rest comes from my own speculation and the information left by Lorenzo Medici before his death.

  Watson said that power Gabriel is very special, and it is related to [sublimation].

[Sublimation] is to refine the mortal and promote it to a higher level. She said that perhaps human beings really have so-called souls, consciousness, or spiritual bodies, and the power of [sublimation] directly acts on this deep level. Above, therefore, Lorenzo's soul has undergone a qualitative change and acquired this extraordinary authority.

  It will not be lost due to the annihilation of flesh and blood, but will always be buried deep in the depths of Lorenzo's soul, and it will follow like a shadow.

   "Lorenzo!"

   Arthur's shout called Lorenzo back from his thoughts. He was a little stunned at first, and he didn't seem to expect that he would think for so long, but Arthur, who was sitting opposite him, felt the difference between Lorenzo just now.

Lorenzo himself did not notice that when discussing these hateful things, he had already involuntarily squeezed the armor-piercing hammer around his waist, as if in the next second, a monster would appear in a dark corner, tearing the two of them apart. Shattered.

   "In short, take your time, Arthur, compared with the entire historical process, our understanding of demons has made a qualitative leap in the past few years."

  Lorenzo finally comforted like this.

  All the mysteries began to dissipate and become clear. In this distorted world, Lorenzo was about to touch the hidden [truth].

  The clock of midnight rang suddenly at this moment, and when Arthur heard the abnormal noise outside the door, he looked very alert, and at this moment Lorenzo said.

   "Arthur, it's Saturday."

Arthur did not understand what Lorenzo was talking about, but at this moment the door was pushed open again, and a group of women came in chirpingly, yelling Lorenzo's name, and at the same time about the decoration of the office. Make a comment.

Arthur was a little stunned, and the people he brought outside were also a little stunned. With the ringing of the midnight bell, one carriage after another stopped outside the door. They were very vigilant at first, and even secretly squeezed the handle of the gun. , But what came out of it next was a group of women.

   "What's the matter? Lorenzo!"

  Arthur was a little overwhelmed by this situation. Some of the women had the impression that they were the upper echelons of the nobility.

  "First of all, I am a detective. Although it sounds a bit shameless, I also have a fixed customer base."

  Lorenzo looks like he loves life.

On Saturday, the members of the housewives cried to Lorenzo after seeing him. Some asked why Lorenzo had been closed for so long. Some asked how Lorenzo opened his office in such a remote place. I said that I didn’t pay attention before, and I found that Lorenzo Zhang is also good, are you interested...

  The scene was messed up, and all kinds of pre-written orders floated everywhere.

  No one cared about the existence of Arthur, and he also deliberately avoided her gaze, but after his gaze signaled Lorenzo, he left silently.

  Lorenzo responded to the customers’ questions with a grin, picking up the orders and putting them together.
