Embers of Embers

Chapter 129 The Boring Adult
Only at this moment did Eve feel powerless. She could do nothing in the face of the real threat. That peaceful but ferocious face was so close before her eyes, like a ghost breaking through a nightmare.
Seleu next to him pulled Eve and tried to drag her away, but they were still too slow at that speed.
Everything happened between lightning and thunder.
The sharp sword broke through the smoke and sea of ​​fire. Lorenzo could not stop Dean Lawrence, but he only needed to delay it for a few seconds. It was like holding a ridiculous hope that Eve could survive as long as he delayed for a few seconds. , what would hopefully happen.
So he threw the sword in his hand.
But nothing has changed. The big sword did not hit Dean Lawrence at all, and was only stuck on the ground beside him. But the only difference may be that at the last moment, Eve pushed Seliu away hard, and the thin girl Very lightly, it fell to the other side like a feather, and then the sharp broken sword was placed on Eve's neck.
When everything came to an end, Dean Lawrence held Eve hostage and looked at Lorenzo with a smile.
He won, completely.
The whole situation ended with him holding Eve hostage.
"Never let your intentions be clear to others, kid."
It seems to be teaching, but it also seems to be ridiculing.
Lorenzo took a deep breath, and then the cavalry stood in a relatively safe position.
"So, you have no way to escape."
The soldiers walked out of the darkness. This time, they moved and aimed differently. Dean Lawrence stood there with the thermite rifle staring at him. In the deeper darkness, there was the sound of mechanical rotation and the wail of a demon. It has stopped, and the purification agency has taken full control of this place.
"But I have a hostage on my hands."
"Your hostage is not valuable. Besides, isn't she your target?"
"Alas...my child, you still haven't learned my teachings."
Dean Lawrence smiled and spoke words that only Lorenzo understood.
The rising fireworks from the armor froze slightly. Lorenzo was once again fooled, or misled by Dean Lawrence's plan.
Father Lawrence is also a fraud, and you will never know his purpose until he reveals the truth, Lorenzo's thoughts raced.
Is his target really Eve?
If it was Eve, were his current words misleading him?Allow yourself to let your guard down.
But then again, if his target is really Eve, what motive does Eve have for his attempt?
In Lorenzo's opinion, Eve is just a young and energetic child. If there is anything special about her...the weird secret blood in her body and her father being Arthur.
Lorenzo felt that he seemed to have caught something, the chaos of the Holy Night, the stealing of "Revelation", the development of inferior secret blood, and Eve who was now pregnant with the secret blood.
Yes, the secret blood technology is only owned by the religious order, so where did Eve's secret blood come from? Or...as the head of the purification agency, Arthur, have they also developed secret blood?
The whole situation became increasingly confusing, but it also convinced Lorenzo.
"No, you won't. She is your target. You won't kill her."
Lorenzo answered coldly.
Based on the relationship between Eve and Arthur, the Purification Agency is definitely not as ignorant of the secret blood as they said. They may have found a way to develop the secret blood through another way. After all, this is the place where the steam engine was born. , the pinnacle of scientific research in the world.
"Oh?"
Hearing that confident voice, Dean Lawrence was a little surprised.
"Shang Dafeng's power is not omnipotent. You can't predict the further future, and you can't support predicting it all the time, right?"
Lorenzo calmly analyzed that the more powerful the power, the greater the burden on the body. Just like Michael, the burning extreme will destroy himself together.
"There will always be a moment when you can't see the future..."
"So what, as long as I touch her lightly, she will die."
Dean Lawrence's broken sword was firmly pressed against Zai Eve's neck.
The entire purification mechanism has surrounded this place. In the past six years, Dean Lawrence has also secretly gained some understanding of the power of the purification mechanism. He may be able to kill everyone present, but the powerful snake in the atrium With his transportation ability, there will be continuous steel creations chasing him until he is submerged with the torrent of steel.
It was time to retreat. He really couldn't see the further future. If he could see it, he wouldn't encounter Lorenzo so directly.
"You better let her go."
A voice sounded from the other side, and Arthur walked out slowly in the darkness, his body was stained with blood, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
"Duke Phoenix?"
Dean Lawrence's voice rose a few degrees and he looked at him provocatively.
"I remember this is your daughter."
What a hellish situation, Arthur said nothing. The soldiers moved forward in the darkness, all kinds of weapons staring at Dean Lawrence. Even if he had the ability to predict, he could not escape such a dense barrage. After all, There is some inevitable future of mortality that cannot be avoided.
"what do you want?"
Arthur asked coldly.
"Leave, what do you think, let me leave, I will let your daughter go."
Silence, nothing but silence.
Arthur stared at Dean Lawrence, and then a voice sounded.
"He is the headmaster of the Demon Hunting Sect. If there is no accident, he is the one who made the inferior secret blood."
Lorenzo under the burning iron ride said slowly, without any reservations, he directly pointed out the identity of Dean Lawrence.
"Arthur, he must die."
The sound was calm, like the calm sea, and no one could clearly see the monsters wandering beneath it.
"Does that mean you have joined the purification organization now?"
Hearing Lorenzo's voice, Dean Lawrence asked in surprise.
"The Demon Hunting Order has been disbanded. It won't be a problem for me to find a new job."
Lorenzo said.
There was a cold laughter.
Eve watched all this quietly. At this moment, her fate was in the hands of these few people. This was a strange feeling. It wasn't that she was afraid of death or anything, but that everything you had now rested on these few people. It's entirely up to them.
Own father, vengeful detective, eerie dean.
For a moment it was like an auction, with three people taking turns bidding, and theirs was the commodity.
"Now it's time to show your worth, girl."
Dean Lawrence's smiling expression gradually cooled down, and even the surging sea of ​​fire also calmed down.
Eve's value to them will determine the direction of the night, whether to let Dean Lawrence go or to kill them all together with gunfire.
Eve suddenly felt a little uneasy, but it was not caused by the broken sword in front of her, but by the two people facing each other from a distance in front of her.
"Arthur, I hope you make the right decision...although it is a difficult decision."
The sound sounded again, and Arthur looked at the burning iron cavalry. The rugged armor was glowing with cold light, like a steel sculpture.
He stared at the girl behind the broken sword. To be honest, although he hadn’t met him for a long time, Eve was quite interesting. Sometimes he could even keep up with Lorenzo’s nervous rhythm. The two sang and danced like patients in a mental hospital. .
But in essence, they are different people. Lorenzo is a dead soul who survived the Holy Night. He still has too many things to do. For these, he doesn't mind becoming a weapon, just like the man in front of him. Just like the teacher taught.
It's time for him to change back. Only absolutely cold reason can stand upright in the flood of despair.
As if he had remembered the girl's appearance in his heart, Lorenzo's warm eyes gradually solidified into a sea of ​​ice.
Those were words that no one understood, but after a long silence, Arthur understood.
"You...what are you talking about!"
Arthur roared at Lorenzo. Maybe others couldn't understand it, but he could understand it because they were the same person.
"It's tough, but... it's the best of two evils."
The cold iron cavalry said this, like a machine without humanity.
"But isn't she your friend? You are such a fucking heartless bastard. I should shoot you."
Arthur cursed at Lorenzo.
"That's why this decision is so difficult, Arthur."
The twisted visor slowly faced Arthur, and the eyes under the strong armor were full of sadness, but no one could see it.
Sometimes fate is like this. You try your best to win, but the rewards it gives you are not so good.
In the end Lorenzo also became a boring adult.
The voice under the armor sounded again, seeming a little tired and distant, like an old man's sigh.
"Arthur, now we are standing by the railroad tracks, and the joystick of destiny is in our hands."
"The demon...must be eradicated."
The figure froze in place, as if petrified.
It was just like the original conversation in the Broken Dome, but now it was no longer a chess piece, a shrike, or a kestrel lying on the rails. This time, it was his daughter lying on the rails, and the demon train roared in. .
In essence, we are all absolutely cold-blooded monsters, and only we can make the most rational judgment for all this.
It is absolutely impossible to let Dean Lawrence go, absolutely impossible.
All the weapons in the darkness are ready, and even the mysterious Lancelot has arrived, but this is not the time for them to appear. In the end, the person who decides all this is Arthur.
As long as he orders the steel torrent, he will completely crush Dean Lawrence. After all, no matter how powerful the demon hunter is, he is just a human being who has usurped the power of demons. They will grow old and die.
Or maybe he just gave in, lost all reason, and allowed Dean Lawrence to leave, and this man with a huge secret disappeared from sight.
This is really a difficult decision. On the one hand, it is my daughter, and on the other hand, it is something that I have always insisted on.
The girl had no idea what was going on. She just looked at the two people talking. One person stripped away his emotions and was as cold as steel, while the other lion seemed to have finally ushered in his twilight. He looked at all this, at a loss.
Only Dean Lawrence seemed to understand all this and laughed.
　Shuangwen, don't panic
