Ember Gun

  Chapter 487 Friends

The sound of ocean waves, crowds, machinery, steam... This world seems to have always been like this. The noises are constantly mixed together, but the epidemic doctor does not find it disturbing, but thinks that this is the breath of life, this The world is full of vitality, not lifeless.

  "Are you showing mercy? According to your ability, I have no chance of killing you... even if it is just one of your many bodies."

  The Epidemic Doctor looked at the north of the sky-sea junction and said, there are dense bulges under the brown coat. With the injection of secret blood, his self-healing starts to accelerate, and there is some support under the empty sleeves.

   "Well, how does it feel to kill me? Is there a sense of accomplishment?"

  Lawrence sat in another chair, and a small table was separated from the epidemic doctor. He still wore that dark mask, calm and calm.

  The two sat together in peace, like old friends they haven’t seen for a long time.

  This kind of change really seemed a little abrupt and weird. It was clear that I was still dying a few minutes ago, but now it’s like having afternoon tea at the same time. It seems that the **** battle just now was just a casual fight.

   "Sense of accomplishment? How could it be possible."

  The Epidemic Doctor laughed at himself. If Lawrence hadn't spoken too seriously, he would have wondered if this guy was laughing at himself.

"It feels terrible. I tried so hard and tried my best to kill you with a sneak attack while you released the water." The epidemic doctor said and shook his head, his voice was full of helplessness, "I really only fit to be A scholar, this kind of thing is really not suitable for me."

  It seems that Lawrence has been forced into a desperate situation. In fact, the epidemic doctor knows very well that as long as he is a little serious and fights with the mentality of killing himself, it is impossible for the epidemic doctor to get out of the dark underground.

   "But... are you letting me go? Lawrence."

   He turned his head and looked at Lawrence beside him. The dark mask looked like an abyss, and a **** breeze was blowing in it.

   "I don't know what changed your mind, but at some point before, you must have thought about killing me, right?"

   asked the epidemic doctor.

  Lawrence looked straight ahead, thick steam surging from the iron-clad ship, and soldiers lined up on it to wake up the sleeping behemoth of steel. It swallowed thick smoke, and roaring fire crisscrossed under the iron body.

  He was not eager to answer the question of the epidemic doctor, but was silent for a long time. When seagulls flew by and the sea breeze was blowing, he said slowly.

   "Yes, I really wanted to kill you at first. In a way, you are stronger than me. With the knowledge in your mind, you can easily create a terrifying army."

  His voice is as serious as before. Lawrence didn't make a joke. This guy has very few humorous cells, almost nothing the same.

   "This is probably the difference between fighters and scholars. Warriors can only solve the present, but scholars can forge the future..."

  There were also soldiers walking by in the field of vision, the entire Hearn Cathedral was strictly guarded, and Lawrence could easily become any one of them.

"Before you stood with me, this army was under my orders, but when you leave me, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not build such an army for other people, such as Inervig, once they have With this kind of power, coupled with the technology of steam, there is no possibility for Gallunaro to resist."

  Listening to his words, the epidemic doctor felt a little headache.

  "You have always had a hard time trusting other people, Lawrence, your suspiciousness makes you such a ghost, and it makes people around you uncomfortable."

  The epidemic doctor added.

   "Well, think about it carefully, there are not many people around you, so it seems I am really unlucky."

  He thought for a while and asked again.

   "What made you change your mind? If you think you have many ways to keep me there forever, instead of sitting here and talking to you."

  The Epidemic Doctor recalled the shocking battle just now. He was almost dancing with the **** of death, and the corpse that fell into the dark was himself.

  But not sure why, Lawrence finally gave up. He let himself kill the body, still prepared the clothes and secret blood here, set up the chair, and chatted with himself in such a rare occasion.

  Does the epidemic doctors think this is some kind of loyalty test? But the problem is that the timing of this test is a bit wrong, shouldn't it be done when you join? Why should someone who is leaving himself come here again?

   "It's probably what you said at the time. No matter how little hope is, you want to give it a try. From this point of view, we are all the same. We are barely of the same kind."

  Lawrence took off the mask as he said. Since putting on this mask, he has rarely taken it off, and now it looks a bit ordinary.

In fact, the face under the mask is not important anymore. It is the mask that really represents Lawrence. Now it has been removed, and underneath it is an ordinary face. The epidemic doctor has a slight impression, remembering that he is probably a legion. A soldier in, but now he is Lawrence.

  The Legion is Lawrence, and Lawrence is the Legion.

   "Why, you have empathy for me? One monster has empathy for another monster?" The epidemic doctor said with goose bumps, "Wow, this sounds too scary, like a ridiculous story."

  Lawrence was expressionless, he was not joking.

   "The more important thing is what you said before, you think you will die..."

  Lawrence's voice paused.

   "Death has become blurred for us, but even then you still feel that you are going to die, die on the road of pursuing the truth, die in that cold north."

Death is an extremely serious and cruel word, but in these monster-like two people, it seems to have lost its original meaning. This is a word belonging to the mortal, and it can no longer limit these people on the road to ascendance. Monsters.

  But now the immortal monster seemed to have foreseen something. He knew of his death, accepted it calmly, and headed happily.

   "My words are not so absolute...not necessarily, it's just a little uneasy."

  The epidemic doctor thought for a while, and then said.

"I just speculated that there must be some danger there. Otherwise, based on the history of the Demon Hunter, they could not help discovering these doubts. If this were the case, they would have launched an expedition to the north, but the result was nothing. Then There are only two possibilities left.

  Either the end of the north is just a desolate glacier, or there is something standing there, and all those who go there have no chance to return, so that the secret of truth will be buried there forever. "

  When I think of this, the epidemic doctor becomes very excited.

   "I really want to know what is going on."

Lawrence ignored him. He seemed to be reminiscing. He seldom recalls. With the abuse of power Gabriel, his consciousness has long collided with countless memories, and they blended with each other. It constitutes a crazily twisted life.

  This seems to be unable to limit Lawrence. Most of the memories of his life have been shattered and lost, but some he still keeps in mind and has not forgotten.

   "Probably empathy, maybe seeing another self, maybe the only remaining humanity..."

  Lawrence said to himself.

"Epidemic doctor, do you remember what you said at the time? You know that I will die in that doomed future. When I die in my ideals, you are very happy, you are happy for me, and you say it is so irritating Enviable situation."

   There was a slight twitch on his calm face. Perhaps it was the memory that affected the wound. Lawrence's expression became slightly ferocious, but his expression was still calm, as if the biting pain could not shake his will.

  "At the time, I also thought this method of death was great. You should know that not everyone can die with such satisfaction, and then I saw you...

  At some point before, you should have thought about whether to surrender or listen to me, in exchange for the possibility of continuing to survive. "

  Lawrence still looked straight ahead, if it weren't for the epidemic doctor sitting next to him, he would seem to be talking to himself.

  The Epidemic Doctor nodded, and he sat in the chair carelessly. In his current state, there was no need to be wary of anything, as if he was looking away. Since life and death are all in the hands of Lawrence, it would be better to relax at this last moment.

   "Yes, I thought about it, after all, if you die, you are really dead. Whether it is truth or life, all of this will disappear with death."

   "Then why did you stand up again in the end?" Lawrence asked inexplicably. At that time, the epidemic doctor was covered with wounds, and he had no chance of winning, but he still launched a surprise attack with suspended animation.

"Because if I don't leave at this time, I'm afraid I won't have a chance again. Who knows if you can win that doomsday war? You said, you will die in the doomsday. Think about it, Lawrence, Even a monster like you is dead, how can I have any room for survival?"

  The epidemic doctor speaks out his thoughts.

  "If you stay, you may die in the doomsday. If you try to escape, there may be a silver lining... It's so beautiful, so tempting, and it's more than worthy of everything.

  Of course this line of life was extinguished by you, shit, you are such a monster, if I want to leave, I must at least kill all these soldiers, right, after all, you are the legion itself. "

  The epidemic doctor took a deep breath. This is the port of Maruli. All the armaments have been taken over by the soldiers of the choir.

  This kind of thing has to be faced, he asked.

   "Then what are you going to do with me? Lawrence."

  Lawrence did not respond, he also looked at the north of the junction of the sky and the sea, on the vast ice sheet, perhaps the truth of this world was hidden.

"Actually... I really want to take a look, Epidemiologist. I also want to see the so-called truth and understand the nature of this world. If I can, I really want to walk with you, but unfortunately There is no time, I must stay here to prepare for the beginning of the war."

  As soon as the voice turned, he turned his head slowly, looking at the epidemic doctor with godless eyes.

   "So I will let you go and pursue the so-called truth."

   "Will that give me a good...Huh?"

The epidemic doctor just wanted to say whether he could choose a method of death that was not too painful, and then he was shocked by Lawrence's words. He looked at Lawrence in astonishment, his face under the beak mask was twisted into a ball, as if in doubt Did you hear it wrong?

   "Yes, I will let you go. As I said before, I will give you the fleet, soldiers, supplies, and everything you need, so that you can complete this expedition to the truth."

  Lawrence guessed what the epidemic doctor was thinking, and he continued.

   "As for why? Because I can understand you."

  He stretched out his hand and tried to touch the sky.

  "We have given so much, we don’t hesitate to become monsters, sell our souls to the devil, and experience pain and sin...and now it’s within reach...

  I can understand your thoughts and feel your feelings, and because of this, I don’t think I should stop you. "

Lawrence gave his reason. This sounded a little absurd to the Epidemiologist, and even made him wonder. He began to wonder if the guy in front of him was Lawrence, such a crazy cold-blooded monster. There was actually such a side to the Epidemiologist. Dare to believe these.

"Epidemic doctor, we become monsters for something, but unfortunately we can never become real monsters, because above this inhuman body, there has always been a part of'human', like Metal impurities cannot be removed no matter how many times they are purified.

  And that’s the reason we became monsters. When we were still humans, even if we turned into monsters, the wishes we made when we were still “human beings” would still walk with us and become this unclean ingredient. "

  Lawrenceton paused. Since the burning wilderness, he seems to have never shown such a human side.

   "Plague Doctor, you helped me to study "Revelation", produce secret blood, and forge a legion.

  It can be said that you helped me realize my wish...

  I think...it should be me now to help you realize your wish, instead of letting you die here for some strange reason. "

  The epidemic doctor was stunned, and he hesitated.

   "So we... are "friends"?"

  The Epidemic Doctor was a little confused. Such a vocabulary was too unfamiliar to him, and it must be the same for Lawrence, but now it feels unclear to mention him.

  Rejoicing? Or something else, it feels too unfamiliar. To an epidemic doctor, he doesn't know how to describe it, but then he is a little lost. The epidemic doctor knows that this precious thing only exists at this moment, and he is about to sail. , Is about to leave, perhaps this is the last side of him and Lawrence, their journey finally ushered in a fork in the road, each heading to a different death place.

"probably……"

  Lawrence also didn't understand. He began to doubt what he was doing. In his original intention, he should have killed the epidemic doctor, but because of that ridiculous reason, he let him go.

  But who would have thought that monsters also have friends, set fire to the mountains together, and do unforgivable things together...

  Lawrence shook his head helplessly, then raised his hand to press his face, pressed his forehead hard, trying to relieve the pain in his mind, and smiled bitterly.

   "Friends? It sounds amazing, monsters will have friends too?"

  Then the voice sounded again. This time Lawrence lost his original calm expression. He became angry and whispered full of anger.

   "So, epidemic doctor, go to death."

  These words seemed to carry a knife and a gun, as if they were going to completely kill the epidemic doctor.

   "Die for your truth."

  The Epidemic Doctor listened to what he said, as if he wanted to say something, but felt that those words were not suitable for the communication between monsters. He gave up, turned his head back, looked into the distance together, and answered calmly.

   "Well, I get it."

  The epidemic doctor was silent for a moment, and then said.

   "Then goodbye, Lawrence."
