Embers of Embers

Chapter 161 The Enemy That Does Not Exist
Lorenzo was wrapped in jet black armor, and blazing white fireworks slowly rose in the gaps in the armor.
After the brutal massacre, Lorenzo regained the initiative amid the blood.
The three remaining invaders looked at the demon hunters in front of them with extreme fear. They had never encountered such a thing. They had no idea about the shadow side of the world. In the eyes of the invaders, it only appeared in myths. monster.
"me……"
One of them said in panic.
They had seen heavily armed soldiers and the steel creation, but they had never seen such a terrifying existence as Lorenzo.
But just then another roar sounded.
"The time has come to show your loyalty!"
Just hearing that roar, a black figure opened the door, pointing the shotgun randomly in his hand. He looked furious and impassioned, as if he was going to die heroically.
"Yahweh?"
Lorenzo looked at the guy who rushed in, his eyes were bloodshot, and he held the shotgun tightly. Perhaps because he was too excited, his hands were still shaking slightly, as if he would go off fire due to excitement in the next second.Looking at the sweat on his head, he didn't know what he had experienced.
"It must be a nightmare."
Lorenzo tried to ask.
The illusion of nightmare has acted on this mansion, and Lorenzo Chai Yawei has just woken up from the dream.
The old housekeeper was still in a daze. He looked at the hall where the severed limbs were stained with blood, and then at the three harmless intruders. All the rage and fear cooled down. He swallowed and calmed down. He calmed down his emotions and said.
"Yeah, what a nightmare."
Yawei sat weakly by the stairs. Fortunately, Yawei did not have any heart disease at such an old age.
Seeing Seliu Yawei who was standing on the other side became anxious again, he pulled the girl over and tried not to let her see this bloody scene... although Seliu had already witnessed everything before.
"So... who are you?"
Saying goodbye to this brief interlude, Lorenzo looked at the three invaders again. Judging from the preparations of the other parties, their goals were very clear and their organization was very strict. They used the illusion of bad situations to paralyze people, and then they finished. .
This was all well and good, except that I met Lorenzo.
"Don't make me ask again, okay?"
Lorenzo threatened.
But still no one answered him. They were suffering from huge fear, and in that fear they were using their only willpower to resist Lorenzo's pressure.
Lorenzo was not in a hurry. He looked at the intruders and casually penetrated their thighs with the sword.
Let them see the cruel destruction with their own eyes, which was the greatest torture, pain and blood. Lorenzo instantly became a qualified torturer and squeezed out those secrets.
Just like what he told Shrike a long time ago, he had taken classes at Wangli Medical College, and Lorenzo knew how to avoid fatal injuries to the human body.
One after another, blood kept pouring out.
The intruders suppressed their screams, but under the suppression, the painful whispers became even more terrifying.
Yawei on the other side had already covered Seleu's eyes, and the sound of metal cutting into flesh was extremely clear. He began to think that this demon hunter was a complete pervert, but in fact, no one guessed Lorenzo's true thoughts.
He was observing, observing his surroundings.
This was an attack on the Stuart heirs. Judging from Lorenzo's experience, these intruders were just the kind of people who were paid to die. They knew nothing. The only person who really knew what was going on was The mysterious dreamer.
Lorenzo didn't know his location, and with the large number of buildings in the inner city, Lorenzo wasn't sure if he could successfully catch it if he alerted him.
He observed in torture, and the demon hunter's perception continued to spread, trying to capture the source of the erosion.
"Let... let me go!"
Suddenly, just as Lorenzo was sensing his surroundings, one of the intruders screamed that he finally couldn't bear the terrible torture and succumbed to the pain.
"What are you doing?"
The other two glared at him, and he became a traitor.
But it was obvious that this man could no longer think so much. His face was covered with tears and blood, his voice was whimpering, and his expression was distorted.
His sanity was completely shattered by Lorenzo's brutality... After all, he was just an ordinary person.
"I'm……"
The man spoke tremblingly, but his voice suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
The intruders looked at Lorenzo... To be precise, the three intruders looked at Lorenzo at the same time. They were obviously different people, but their expressions at this moment were exactly the same, as if different bodies contained the same soul.
It was as if some unknown existence had suppressed their will and was observing Lorenzo through this skin.
The three eyes stared at Lorenzo together, and the fear and anger disappeared in an instant, leaving only a mechanical cold feeling.
Lorenzo took a step back. Although he didn't know what happened, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"hello."
The three of them spoke at the same time, their voices overlapping together like one voice.
This strange scene made Lorenzo think of something, but before he could think more, the three men took action forcefully.
As if they couldn't feel the pain and fear caused by the wound, the three men stood up forcibly and attacked Lorenzo. His bones were twisted and deformed strangely, so that he could barely stand up and wave his arms.
This level of attack could not affect Lorenzo at all, but at the same time he was also vigilant, but after a brief attack, the actions of the three people slowed down again, and one of them pounced directly on Lorenzo. His hands tightly strangled Lorenzo's head, even if he was cut by the sharp armor, it didn't matter.
"hello."
His voice was filled with extreme madness, and the absurd sound echoed in Lorenzo's mind, followed by severe pain.
Lorenzo instinctively swung the knight's sword and penetrated the crazy body directly. Blood and internal organs rushed down. After this blow, the remaining two people also lost their mobility.
"what?"
Lorenzo lowered his sword blade and held his forehead.
There it was again, the sharp pain in my mind.
Looking at the two unconscious people in front of him, his eyes were complicated.
Lorenzo had already thought of something. He sensed that the erosion had subsided nearby, and there were no violent fluctuations. It was as if the dream builder had never existed.
In other words, it does not exist in itself.
"An attack coming directly from the mind..."
Lorenzo analyzed the situation, which was more complicated than anything he had ever experienced.
He looked at the girl beside him, and Seliu had already recovered. She was sitting on the steps of the stairs with Yawei, her breathing became steady, and a little blood came to her pale face.
In his deduction, a new conclusion gradually became clear, and then he became cold to the truth.
There are no dreamers.
This is not some bad fantasy. If Lorenzo guessed correctly, this is an attack from the [Gap]. Someone transcended reality and directly attacked Lorenzo and others in the mysterious spiritual world.
That mysterious [gap].
Just like Metanzo showed to himself at that time, the dim starry sky shuttled from one [gap] to another [gap].
The armor fell off one by one, and Lorenzo looked at his reflection in the pool of blood. Maybe he really had to have a good chat with Metanzo.
"There is no curse, Seleu."
Lorenzo said suddenly.
"What did you say?"
Yawei answered from the side, he was a little confused.
"Yes, that's what this weird thing is."
Lorenzo tied up the unconscious two men.
"If you don't believe it, it doesn't exist. Once you waver, those ghosts and monsters will take advantage of it."
He looked at Seliu with cold eyes.
"Demons are like this. As long as you open a gap in the dam of your will, they can pour endless fear into it."
Seliu calmed down and clutched her chest, which was still a little violent. She didn't understand.
"Then why did the demon come to me..."
Before she finished speaking, Seleu realized the reason, that strange connection, Lorenzo connected her with the darkness.
Perhaps due to self-blame or something like that, Lorenzo looked a little depressed as he continued.
"His target was you, it was you from the beginning."
This was what Lorenzo should have thought of from the beginning.
"Who?"
Seleu asked, she wanted to know who was going to kill her.
Lorenzo replied with some vigilance and uneasiness.
"Lawrence... Dean Lawrence."
