Ember Gun

  Chapter 480 Nightmare

  The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, Lorenzo frowned, and Eve, who was sitting on the other side, could clearly feel Lorenzo's change.

   "Did something happen? Lorenzo."

   Eve asked quietly.

   "No...nothing."

  Lorenzo put the paper away and put it back in the envelope.

   "What's written in it?"

  Eve asked again, she always felt that Lorenzo was hiding something from herself.

   "It's a bill, a very urgent bill. Regarding building maintenance and the like, it's probably that if I don't pay, they will sue me."

  Lorenzo started to fool Eve casually, he is very good at this kind of thing, and often succeeds.

  "Building maintenance?"

  Eve looked at her surroundings, this messy Winchester office, it was obvious that she regarded it as the building that Lorenzo called it.

   "Are you lying to me?"

   Just when Lorenzo thought he was going to successfully lie to Eve, Eve suddenly backhanded and said, she looked at Lorenzo keenly, as if all the secrets could not be hidden from her.

  The scene was embarrassing for a while.

   "You said before that I grew up and I am no longer the kid who shivered in the face of demons, and then you lied to me with such ridiculous words?"

  Eve looked helpless, then whispered.

   "Grow up, Lorenzo."

  She patted Lorenzo on the shoulder vigorously, and Lorenzo responded with disgust. He was disgusted by Eve's incomparably contrived and hateful look of iron and steel.

   silently, Lorenzo's mood was a bit complicated, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

   "Then I'll go first, I'm going to be on duty."

  Eve said and left.

   "Just left? I thought you would follow me until you understand."

  Lorenzo did not believe that Eve actually left like this. According to his impression of Eve, once this guy got into trouble, it would be maddening.

   "I know that ordinance. Knowledge is cursed. If you don't plan to tell me, it must be cursed knowledge. You also said that by climbing higher, you can know more."

  Eve learned very quickly, she obeyed Lorenzo's words, and opened the door.

   "Bye, Lorenzo."

  The door slammed closed, and the room dimmed again. Lorenzo looked at the closed door, and the smell of Eve still remained in the air.

  This can be regarded as a novel experience. A passing friend kicked open the door of your house with teasing malice, and after chatting with you, he left unrestrainedly...

To be honest, this is a life Lorenzo never thought about before. He never even imagined it, but now he has almost everything he didn't have before. This beautiful feeling almost made him sink, and it was also because it was so beautiful. , Lorenzo saw the light, and couldn't stand the light's departure even more.

  I don’t know why Lorenzo thought of the guy named Huo. When he finally stopped him, he probably had this feeling. Lawrence was his light, his hope, and he was willing to give everything for all of this.

The harsh air current sounded, and the steam surging from below the street again, making the old town in the early morning foggy again. It blurred the windows, but more light came in outside the windows, clearing the darkness and reflecting. This messy room.

  The old Dunling is gradually waking up, and a new day has arrived.

  Lorenzo's relaxed nerves tightened again. He took out the envelope, took the paper out of it, and spread it out and laid it flat on the table in front of him.

The atmosphere was depressed, as if the air had solidified into leadstone, pressed against the chest, making people breathless. Lorenzo seemed a little unbelievable. He read the content on the paper again, this time he was silent for a long time, and finally slowed down. Slowly got up, tore the paper to pieces, and threw it into the ashtray. The blazing fireworks flashed by, burning them to ashes.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion or something. At the moment when the ashtray burned, the fireworks burned the edge of the paper. It made a human-like scream, but the sound was very slight. If Lorenzo didn’t pay attention, he wouldn’t even notice it. .

  Looking at the wailing sound, the fireworks had been extinguished, and in the black ashes that had accumulated, Lorenzo found that its center began to slowly collapse, turning into a pitch-black hole.

  The bloodshot eyes opened from the hole, the eyeballs moved quickly, looking for the target, and finally looked at each other with Lorenzo.

  The eyeball shattered, it sank, and then a steady stream of black water gushed out of it, it erupted quickly, and swallowed the ground in a blink of an eye.

  Lorenzo immediately reached out his hand to try to take the nail sword inserted on the wall to hang clothes, but found that he could not move at all, his body froze in place and he did not listen.

  The frantic sound poured into my ears for an instant, and I saw that the window had become pitch black, and the next moment countless white palms knocked on the doors and windows.

"what!"

  Lorenzo looked there with some confusion. He was not afraid of ghosts or something, because he had killed something more terrifying than these, but it stands to reason that they should be afraid of themselves.

A pale and bloodless face appeared in Lorenzo's eyes. The pupils of her eyes were diffusing and it seemed that her soul had already been drained. She slammed her head against the window and smashed the glass. There were also tragic wounds and blood on her forehead. Flowing through the bridge of her nose, she was already dead, crawling into the house with great effort.

   "Eve..."

  Lorenzo recognized that face, it was Eve who had just left, and more familiar but dead faces appeared beside her.

  Some cold inside.

The sound of the sea tide sounded, and the sound became louder and louder. It came from all directions. Lorenzo remembered that his place was at least a few streets away from the Thames. How could it be flooded here, but the next moment it will be dark. Black Water broke open the door and window, and it rolled up the dead floating corpse. Lorenzo couldn't even resist, so he was swallowed by it.

  This is a familiar feeling... Lorenzo remembered that it was today’s nightmare, sinking into this endless ocean...

  It turned out that the person who drowned was yourself?

  At the end of darkness, light rises.

Lorenzo stood dumbly on the spot, he still maintained the motion when the fire was on, the nail sword was still sticking to the side, his coat hung on the hilt of the sword, his body was a little stiff, and then he sat slowly Go down.

Everything changed back to normal. It seemed that everything just now was just an illusion, but Lorenzo felt that something was wrong. The illusion was so real, it was so real that he felt so cold now, it was as if he had just crawled out of a severe winter. .

"what happened?"

   Lorenzo muttered to himself, he did not feel the corrosive fluctuations, nor did he stare at him. The guy with the illusion that he could manipulate in the impression had been killed by him.

   With a little fear, his eyes moved to the ashtray again, there was still a little ember in the dust, which stubbornly emitted a weak light.

   "The cursed knowledge...?"

  Lorenzo looked at the ashes left by the burning of the paper ball. He temporarily attributed the strange illusion to the memetic pollution of knowledge. After all, there are still too many secrets in the world that he does not know.

   "Watson...what have you done?"

  Lorenzo picked up a cigarette and looked out the window with a bewildered look. There was no black water and dead bodies, just a calm appearance.

He felt a little headache. The illusion that he had just changed to an ordinary person may have been scared, but Lorenzo has become accustomed to it. He even said that he didn’t think it should be an illusion just now. Based on the information on the paper, it should be no matter what. Only a few silent people will be airborne.

  Well, that’s the end of the joke. This mentality of having fun in hardship is very important, but it can’t be the whole story.

  Lorenzo's eyes were heavy, then he closed his eyes and thought.

The information on the paper was like a bomb, and it exploded in Lorenzo’s mind. Watson seemed to be very urgent when conveying the news. The words were obviously simplified by her in advance, so that they could be sent quickly from the telegram. .

  Wason conveyed a lot of information, but some of the details were vague, but from the state of her statement, it was understandable.

  Watson is being pursued and killed by the Silent, an independent and extremely powerful Silent.

   "You will be killed, avoid frontal contact."

  This is the evaluation given by Watson. This evaluation made Lorenzo worry about her situation and feel pressured.

In Lorenzo’s cognition, the existence of [sublimation] like him and Watson is already considered top combat power. In a one-to-one situation, almost no one is their opponent, even in the face of the army. , With the blessing of Gabriel Gabriel, there is still a certain chance of winning.

  Ke Watson vetoed everything. She warned Lorenzo that the enemy can move in [Gap]. Once the power Gabriel is used, there is a great possibility of being discovered by him.

  So looking at it this way, in the alleys of the street, Watson must have come to find herself at that time, but she encountered an enemy. She could only leave a warning in a hurry and send more information after she was safe.

Lorenzo is very clear about what happened, and he has furthered his understanding of shepherd theory. Silents are not all such clumsy machines. When they are deep enough outside the fence, they will be more powerful. Existence appears, fix all these errors.

  So it can be easily deduced, Watson learned enough to motivate this knowledge, which led to the current situation.

  So what did Watson learn?

  She did not explain this point in the paper, but vaguely mentioned some clues.

   "The Temple of Silence, the Well of Sublimation, there seems to be the beginning of everything."

Lorenzo muttered in a low voice. This was what Watson mentioned in the paper, like a riddle, but Lorenzo understood what Watson meant, and when he remembered what he and Eve just said, Lorenzo couldn't help at this moment. Feeling a little ironic.

  Knowledge is cursed, and people of different classes have different secrets. Therefore, the same story is distorted into different appearances in the eyes of different people.

Layers of lies cover the world. Just as Lorenzo could not tell Eve the truth, Watson could not tell Lorenzo more details, because once Lorenzo knew these, Lorenzo Zuo was bound to attract the attention of the silent, and thus faced the powerful enemy Watson had encountered.

  Watson could not fight the enemy herself, and she felt that she was too.

  But... there is some hope, and this is the last information on the paper.

   "Holy Silver can block the [Gap] invasion and protect us from being discovered by the silent."

  Lorenzo never thought that Holy Silver would be of such use. It seemed that he needed to build a Holy Silver helmet for himself, but Lorenzo was then lost.

He has no sacred silver anymore. This precious resource has long been exhausted in the previous successive battles, and until now Lorenzo has no idea about the structure of this thing, only knows that the Gospel Church possesses this kind of resource. .

  Lorenzo also asked Merlin before. After providing some samples, Merlin only came to the conclusion that this might be an alchemy product. As for how to produce holy silver, no one is clear.

   "Still Temple...It looks like I have to go back if I have a chance..."

  Thinking of this, Lorenzo’s only remaining goal was the Silent Temple, the former base of the Demon Hunting Order. Judging from Watson’s intelligence, this was also the source of everything.

She used the word root, and there must be enough secrets to be pursued here...think about it, before the night of Saint's Promenade, the Demon Hunter Group may be the closest group to the truth of this world, in that weird place. Lorenzo would not be surprised at what Lorenzo was buried under his land.

  As stated in the "Gospels", darkness breeds from the shadow of God, so as the reflection of the Cathedral of San Nalo, the Silent Temple can not be more suitable as the source of darkness.

  But the situation is not so bad now.

  Lorenzo comforted herself in her heart. Watson received new information and is now safe. She also said in the telegram that she would contact her again.

  Now they are one step closer to the root of the mystery, and likewise, there is a deeper darkness that enveloped Lorenzo.

   "It's okay, okay, not too bad."

  Lorenzo muttered to himself, then got up and put on a windbreaker, armed with a weapon, and opened the door.

  He is going to meet Queen Victoria tomorrow, but Lorenzo still has some things to do before the meeting, such as dealing with some legacy events.

   "I'm here to pick you up, Lorenzo."

  The carriage slowly stopped in front of the door, and Lan Jade pushed the car door and said to Lorenzo.

   "Oh, why are you, it feels like a long time no see!"

  Lorenzo makes himself happy as much as possible, forgetting the bad hallucinations and nightmares.

"Now we are understaffed...well, we seem to be understaffed all the time. Shrike is still resting in the hospital. He didn't suffer much injury, but he needs a mental examination. The Kestrel's injury is not healed, so he can only do some duty work. , It's my turn in the end."

   Lan Jade explained.

   "This is how it is to be in a high-risk occupation."

  Lorenzo got into the car and said slowly.

   "It seems that it is not easy for everyone... how is his situation?"

  "Not bad, except for some signs of schizophrenia, everything is normal."

  Lorenzo nodded and sighed.

   "Well, it sounds good."
