  Chapter 636 Humans and Demons

rise.

   keeps rising.

  Lorenzo woke up. He tried to move his body, but found that he was so tired that he didn't even have the power to drive his fingers. He could only open his eyes reluctantly and look at the gloomy world.

  He is rising.

  There is no strength to lift the body, but the heavy body begins to become light.

The "weight" is decreasing little by little, and the unimportant impurities on the body are continuously discarded, just like the smelted gold, becoming purer and lighter, abandoning all the inferiorities, until the earth can no longer restrain Lorenzo's body. .

   Ascend into the sky and reach the kingdom of heaven.

"What's wrong with me?"

  Lorenzo was stunned. He was a little hard to understand the current situation. His unclear consciousness made his mind dead and hard to think, like a rusty gear, crumbling.

  I don’t know how long he can finally lift up some strength, his hands gradually regained control, and then he waved vigorously.

Lorenzo saw a wall, a wall like the gate of heaven, full of gray human-shaped statues, they were entangled together, as if they were fighting for themselves, one after another, they stretched out their hands, one after another, and their arms continued to extend. , And finally came to my own eyes.

   was very close, and Lorenzo stretched out his hand so that he could hold the palm of the stone statue.

  Why should they reach out to themselves?

Lorenzo didn’t understand, but soon he found that the distance between himself and these statues was getting farther. He couldn’t feel the presence of his legs, so this was probably not acting out of his will, and then Lorenzo felt that What happened to me.

  Turning his head hard, Lorenzo saw another person.

The mind seemed to have fallen into the cold sea, and the biting cold soaked Lorenzo's whole body. It was a person who was suspended in the air. Renzo crashed and moved slowly.

  The face was shown in front of her little by little, completely blank.

  This person has no facial features, only flat cheeks, just like the watchmen he saw in the illusion.

  Lorenzo could feel that more power could be mobilized. He turned his head laboriously, peering around, and saw that behind Lorenzo, there were countless similar corpses, one after another, suspended in the air.

   His gaze kept looking towards the end behind him. There was a dazzling dome. Lorenzo could only see a few vague dark shadows. They were so close to the light source that they almost merged into one.

  No...this is not quite right.

  Lorenzo realized that the situation was not so good, he looked at the "wall" in front of him in panic. At this moment, he knew why these stone statues behaved like this.

  This is not a wall at all, but the ground.

  Far away, Lorenzo is just one of the many floating corpses that climb up. They are attracted by the sky light, and they continue to rise and leave the world, just like angels called by God.

  Lorenzo stretched out his hand. He tried to hold the outstretched hand of the stone statues, which wanted to hold him and prevent him from rising.

  K Lorenzo has become too light, there are too many things being abandoned in the ascent.

  Lorenzo does not know what will happen if he continues to rise, but he feels fear instinctively, far beyond the fear of death.

"damn it!"

  He cursed, like a drowning man, waving his hands indiscriminately, but no matter how he struggled, the distance between him and the stone statue was still getting farther and farther.

In the end, Lorenzo could only stretch out his hand straight and push up his fingertips, even if he touched the stone statue. At this time, the dust on the stone statue fell off, revealing a sad look, as if he could not bear Lorenzo. Departed.

   "What the hell..."

  Lorenzo muttered, he looked at the face of the stone statue, somehow he felt a familiar feeling, as if he had seen it there.

The stone statues shook slightly, more and more dust was stripped away, and the entangled stone statues showed familiar faces, but Lorenzo just couldn't remember who they were, and they had the same sadness on their faces. , Watching Lorenzo leaving together.

  A crack spreads on the stone statue.

Lorenzo heard what someone seemed to be saying, and the next stone statue moved strangely. They opened their mouths like demons and shouted mourning. Until one hand crossed a long distance and caught Lorenzo who was about to leave.

  Pull down hard.

  Lorenzo fell.

  The field of vision turned into darkness, as if sliding down in the abyss until it bottomed out.

  Lorenzo opened his eyes suddenly, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his goal was no longer the weird scene, but the gray ceiling, and his ears rang his heartbeat and the ticking of the clock.

"Ha ha……"

  Lorenzo was breathing hard. He didn't know if all that was just an illusion or what, it was so real, even the last fall.

  He tried to get up, but felt a sharp pain from all over his body, as if Lorenzo slammed into the bed from nothingness during the fall.

   "This...what's going on?"

  Lorenzo recalled, he remembered that he killed Roger’s carrier, and then his consciousness fell into a coma...

   Slowly raised his hand, and saw that the hand was covered with bandages, and the color of scarlet was oozing under the white cloth.

  "Sublimation..."

Lorenzo remembered that in order to be able to fight Roger, he broke through the double threshold and reached the irreversible abyss. For this reason, he obtained the power Shangda from the darkness, but he also paid the corresponding price. .

  His thoughts were interrupted, and severe pain came from my mind.

  I don’t know if this is the price of sublimation or the side effect of the power Shangda. In short, Lorenzo feels very bad now. If he can, he really hopes that he can go into a coma again.

   Lifting his head hard, he saw clearly the ward he was in. The door was a heavy iron door. There was only one person in the room, and there was Florund's medicine on a small table on the side.

  Lorenzo felt a strange feeling in his head. He stretched out his hand and touched it. He felt a cold touch. It was the crown of Holy Silver, probably because he was afraid that he would be invaded while in a coma. The doctors pressed this on Lorenzo.

  Take a few Florund's medicines, Lorenzo injects them one at a time, and the medicine rushes through the blood and is transmitted to all parts of the body.

"what……"

  Lorenzo took a long breath. Under the injection of the medicine, the bad feeling can be relieved a lot, and the mental and physical exhaustion can not be wiped out so easily.

He sat up with difficulty, pulled out the needle inserted in his body, and unwrapped the bandage. As the secret blood calmed down, the blood and flesh underneath also slowed down, but now all that was left was trauma. That's it, the fracture of the bones seems to have almost healed during the dormant period.

"Predict future."

  Lorenzo rubbed his eyes vigorously, but he could not imagine that he could obtain such a mysterious power in the dark.

Lorenzo has always had a strong curiosity about this power. After all, Lawrence's madness at the beginning was because he saw the dim future through the power of Shangda, which drove him to think that he was "saving the world." All kinds of behaviors.

  In this way, Lawrence is full of fatalism. He firmly believes in fate and the coming of the future. He also firmly believes that he will die in that future.

  Suddenly Lorenzo had a slightly crazy idea.

  He knew very well that the more things Lorenzo had to pay from the darkness, the more expensive it would be.

  But...what if you don’t try to see such a distant future?

  Yes, just go a little deeper to see the future of the old Dunling, the end of this war.

With dim light rolling in his eyes, Lorenzo had just woke up from a coma with pain on his body. It stands to reason that he should take a good rest, but this thought started to ferment as soon as he came up in his mind. Constantly urging in Lorenzo's ear.

  But what if the future you see is gloomy?

  Lorenzo suddenly thought of this, what if he saw a failed ending? Old Dunling will fall, and the cleansing mechanism will also be destroyed. No one can stop Roger from advancing until everything falls into Lawrence's prophecy.

  If you see this kind of future, do you have the courage to continue?

  Yes, do you have the courage to continue? With fear, heading towards the gloomy future.

  What about Lawrence?

  The scarlet ocean flashed across Lorenzo's eyes, and in a golden glow, all things ushered in their doomsday.

   "Lawrence...what is the ending like?"

Lorenzo's voice trembled slightly, and he suddenly realized that he did not know the ending of the Doomsday War. It seems that Lawrence didn't know the end of the Doomsday War. The only thing he knew was that he would die in the Doomsday War, but what happened later. ?

After   , will it win or lose?

  Is the so-called future destined like fate, or is it still possible to change?

  Lorenzo felt very bad. He didn't have such a chance before, but now he has the ability to "cheat", but the result of this will make people fall into deeper pain.

  The heavy door was pushed open, making a babble, Lorenzo suddenly raised his head, bloodshot in his eyes, and looked at the person warily.

"I heard from them that this ward is used to detain uncontrolled patients, such as those who are facing the abyss," Zuo Zhen walked in and said to himself, "Those have a trace of reason, but they have already People who are beginning to demonize."

   "Left Town." Lorenzo called his name.

  Zuozhen nodded with a smile, and then said, "Mr. Holmes."

  Lorenzo looked at him with some doubts. He had no contact with Zuozhen, and even said that the number of meetings was very few. He didn't know why Zuozhen came at this time, and Lorenzo felt a little uneasy.

  In his eyes, Zuo Zhen is like a cunning old fox, with a fake smile on his face forever.

This kind of person seems to be very kind and friendly to everyone, but when necessary, he will easily sacrifice anyone. What is even more frightening is that Lorenzo can be sure that this guy in Zuozhen will die for him sincerely. People feel sad, and then continue to sacrifice indifferently, as if the two do not conflict.

  Yes, there is no conflict.

"How's it going?"

   Lorenzo asked, he wanted to know what happened during his coma.

  "Fortunately, it is still under control. The Broken Dome has been lost and the command department is being transferred to a new position. The knight commanders have suffered a great loss. Percival cannot continue to fight, and Gareth has died."

  Zuo Zhen stood aside, did not sit down, he and Lorenzo kept a relatively safe distance.

   "Gareth..."

  Lorenzo's expression was a bit surprised, but think about it, the knight commander is also a human. As long as he is a human, then he will die. It is nothing more than a difference between when and where to die.

  I didn’t have much contact with Gareth, and he just remembered a familiar face, and then this person died, and there was one less familiar face. Lorenzo felt a little uncomfortable.

  People who fight against demons need to become cold and ruthless, but not everyone can be absolutely ruthless.

   "Do you have anything else?"

Lorenzo glanced at Zuo Zhen's back and could see the exposed gun handle. He still remembered Zuo Zhen's fatal shooting. It can be said that his inverse mode factor bomb had a key effect and crushed Roger. His armor, so that he can kill him with a single sword.

   "I will let you know that Arthur and I will be responsible for the next command, which means..."

   "I need to follow your orders, don't I?"

  Lorenzo preemptively said, he looked at Zuozhen a little bit badly, and the ammunition around his waist was stuffed with inverse modulus bullets. Now Zuozhen is fully armed.

  Zuozhen came to see himself fully armed.

  "Are you afraid of me?" Lorenzo asked.

  Zuozhen did not demonstrate, he said very candidly.

   "Yes, I am scared. No one is afraid of monsters, let alone demons like you."

   "What do you want to say?"

  Lorenzo did not refute the title of Zuozhen. As early as the moment the secret blood was implanted, he had already made the decision to set foot in the dark. After so many years, he did not have a later meeting.

  "The next form will become more and more dangerous. I speculate that Roger's third contact will be the outbreak of war...that is to say the next time."

  Zuo Zhen directly took off the falling star and wiped the body of the gun, full of threats in his actions.

  "We need to gather all our forces. Everyone must resolutely obey every order. I can trust them, and they can trust me, but you are the only one..."

"you do not trust me?"

   "Well, to be precise, I believe you, Mr. Holmes, but I don't believe in your choice." Zuozhen's words are elusive.

  "Will you become another demon in order to kill one demon?"

  Zuozhen asked, he slowly approached Lorenzo, and his words were full of puzzlement, "Just like when you killed Roger, abandon everything and fall into the darkness."

  I felt scared just thinking about it. If it hadn't been for Zuozhen to smash Roger's defenses, once Lorenzo and Roger were in a long-term stalemate, no one would have thought of what would happen next.

  Maybe Roger will be killed, or Lorenzo will become the second Roger.

  This time Lorenzo was also silent. He recalled that weird nightmare, he was constantly ascending, reaching the same "height" at an unknown moment, completing the sublimation.

  He understood what Zuozhen said a little, and he didn't know how to respond.

"I know you would say that this is a necessary sacrifice. I can understand it. In fact, I also agree with your behavior. Rather than hesitating, it is better to act decisively. But what I want to say is that all actions need to be done well. Pre-plan, have you ever thought about how we should deal with you once you become a lunatic like Roger?

  I don’t trust you. I suspect that in your next actions, you will make some crazy moves beyond our control. "

  Zuo Zhen sighed again, with a helpless smile on his face.

  "Unfortunately, your power is indispensable, and you must participate in it."

  "Are you here to teach?" Lorenzo asked.

"No, I just want to talk to you, after all, we are going to live and die together next time, but what I know about you is only those in the document." Zuo Zhen stood by the bed and looked at the night out of the window. ,

  "Is there not enough on the document?"

"Not enough, that's just your surface. I want to know your inner thoughts." Zuo Zhen turned his head and looked at Lorenzo, who was leaning on the pillow. "I know I can't control your will, nor can I interfere with you. The decision, that is to say, all the above words are nonsense and nothing can be changed.

  So I just want to talk to you and see what Lorenzo under the skin is like. "

   "But this can't change anything." Lorenzo was a little bored.

"No, this can at least soothe my inner anxiety a bit," Zuo Zhen laughed, "You know, absolute and blind trust is not so easy. Jiuxia has a strong creed, and the cleansing agency has a thorough implementation. Regulations, you alone have nothing."

   "I want to know whether it is a human soul or a demon under the devil's body."

  Zuo Zhen suppressed a smile, and questioned Lorenzo with a serious attitude that he had never had before.

   "Lorenzo Holmes, what is life for you?"
