Embers of Embers

Chapter 218
"Iron gate~iron window~iron fence~"
Lorenzo sat in the corner and hummed a strange song, looking out the iron window. The sky outside was gloomy and entering sunset.
Several strong men were huddled in the corner, with their heads facing the wall, as if they were autistic... Indeed, anyone who was punched and kicked by Lorenzo would easily become autistic.
About half an hour ago, Lorenzo was handcuffed back to the detention room of Suyalan Hall by Eve. This location is great. You can see it from the work station. Several familiar police comrades raised their heads to look at Lorenzo from time to time. Renzo, Lorenzo knew that they had tried their best to hold back their laughter, but a few still laughed desperately.
Lorenzo suddenly felt like an animal in a zoo and felt very unhappy. After entering the detention room, several strong men who arrived first looked at Lorenzo with disgust, and some even made provocations.
I have to admit, Lorenzo's body smelled really bad when he crawled out of the sewer, so he didn't say anything and just hid in the corner.
The suspect was not caught, and was hit by a carriage and flew a few meters away, and was handcuffed by Eve, and was treated coldly by these people.
The more Lorenzo thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and then he looked at the strong men aside.
"What do you see me doing?" Lorenzo asked.
The strong men were stunned, "What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong?" Lorenzo said, "How dare you talk back?"
Then came the current situation, Lorenzo became the tyrant of the detention room in a very short time.
He was not worried about the current situation. Anyway, there was someone above Lorenzo, so the detention was just a formality. But now that he had a place to rest, and the dull pain in his body was much better, Lorenzo began to think about the pursuit just now.
Obviously, these stowaways from Feilengcui seemed to be plotting something. After all, no serious person would go to the rat's nest to ask for information. Plus the carriage he used when escaping, they seemed to have support in Old Dunling. , obviously not everyone can use the carriage, this coordinator also has some capital.
So the question is, why do they want to sneak across?Lorenzo thinks that with their energy, they should be able to forge a formal identity to reach Old Dunling, or do they not want to be known?
A secret department, a purge agency, flashed in Lorenzo's mind.
The Purification Agency, a behemoth entrenched in the shadow of the old Dun Ling, will not relax now that the envoys are visiting and they are more vigilant. They do not want to attract the attention of the Purification Agency.
If this guess is true, then things will get interesting. According to what Arthur said to himself, the church is secretly trying to exchange technology with the purification agency. This time the mission from Feileng Cui must be doing something, but now it's here again A group of stowaways.
Even if the exchange fails, they must secretly send forces... There seems to be only one person who can tempt them to do this.
""Revelation"……"
Lorenzo whispered. After finding this key point, the entire incident took shape in his mind.
The Demon Hunting Order has been rebuilt, and the Temple of Stasis has been online again. The strange Temple of Stasis can monitor the demon hunters. Perhaps they were discovered by him during the fight with Lawrence, so they also determined the "Apocalypse" "Record".
The whole thing suddenly became clear, but Lorenzo couldn't be happier.
While worried, the iron door of the detention room was opened, and the police officer said to Lorenzo.
"Come out and make a note."
Lorenzo's face darkened, but he followed him out honestly. He couldn't go on a killing spree here. Although he had privileges, they were not used here.
Soon, Lorenzo was sent to a small room with only two chairs and a table. A familiar girl was sitting opposite the table, holding a pen and notebook seriously.
"Well... long time no see!"
He and Eve were the only ones left in the whole small room. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Lorenzo spoke first.
"Well, long time no see."
Eve's reaction was cold, as expected.
"I asked, are you avenging a private revenge? I admit that my decision at the time was a bit bad, but these can all be explained..."
Thoughts were racing in his mind, and Lorenzo quickly defended himself. This detective was glib and could easily deceive a little girl.
But Eve had a calm look on her face, as if she hadn't heard Lorenzo speak at all. After Lorenzo finished speaking, she spoke slowly.
"Finished?"
Lorenzo nodded, and then Eve smiled disdainfully.
"Do you think I'm seeking revenge?"
"Isn't it?" Lorenzo asked.
After cuffing herself, Eve tied herself to the horse with a rope. She rode happily in front, while Lorenzo trotted behind with his hands raised... This scene was very common hundreds of years ago. After the battle was won, the knights dragged the captives with ropes.
Eve shook her head.
"Lorenzo, I'm not a child, I'm an adult, I'm very rational." Eve said, "I'm trying to save you... at least to rescue you, although those mounted policemen are not a threat to you, But in that case, you will only create greater chaos and cause greater trouble."
Lorenzo was stunned, not expecting these reasons to be included.
"Now that old Dunling has been under martial law, I have been patrolling the streets. What do you think? According to the situation at that time, you might cause a fight on the street. I just made the big thing smaller."
According to Eve's logic, this seems to be the case. Based on Lorenzo's thoughts at the time, he might have knocked down the mounted policeman blocking the road with one punch.
"Then I have to thank you?"
"Thank you. I'm a little curious about what you are doing." Eve frowned as she said this. Lorenzo's smell was intoxicating in this confined space. "Are you catching mice in the sewer?"
"Don't tell me, it's really related to rats." After hearing this, Lorenzo replied, "It's just a somewhat complicated case."
Eve nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
Everything calmed down again, so calm that it made Lorenzo very uncomfortable. He was thinking of something to talk about, and then asked.
"Ya...Duke Fenisque agrees to let you become a police detective?"
Lorenzo thought that after that incident, Arthur would send Eve away far away, but he didn't expect that Arthur would directly give up these ideas and let Eve pursue her dream.
"almost."
Eve replied that no one knew how she persuaded Arthur.
She didn't seem to want to talk to Lorenzo at all. The topic she finally found was gone, and Lorenzo couldn't bear it anymore.
"sorry."
"what?"
Eve looked at him curiously, wondering what Lorenzo's sudden apology meant.
"I'm sorry, I had to sacrifice you at that time." Instead of being secretive, it would be better to tell everything.
"There's nothing to be sorry for, I understand." Eve replied very seriously. “And I learned a few things.”
"what's up."
"Don't expect too much from others," Eve said, "It's not right to impose your own wishes on others."
"It makes me look like an asshole."
"Isn't that what you are?" Eve continued.
"Lorenzo, you are an excellent liar. Sometimes I forget your bad nature because of your performance, but this time I have been vigilant."
Eve said, flashing the gun in her hand, "Don't take it too seriously, we are all adults, there is no need to be so pretentious."
She said and opened the door.
"you can go now."
"Where are the records?" Lorenzo asked.
"As you said, they are all acquaintances, just a formality." Eve said.
This strange attitude made Lorenzo feel a little weird. Although he said he didn't care, Lorenzo could feel her coldness. Just like Pres said, trust is a very precious thing and is invisible. The wall separated the two of them.
The little girl is not easy to lie to.
Lorenzo sighed inwardly, but still walked out honestly.
Sure enough, with humanity, you will have troubles. Lorenzo didn't care about other people's emotions before. In his opinion, other people were just tools to help him hunt down monsters, but it was different now. Iron and stone melted into a heart of flesh and blood. , sometimes this damn feeling of guilt is annoying.
"Can you... be happy?" Lorenzo said suddenly.
Hearing Lorenzo's words, Eve smiled instead of getting angry, "I mean Lorenzo, there must be some limits to being shameless, right?"
"You almost killed me last time we met. I didn't detain you for a few days, so you have restrained yourself enough!"
After hearing this, the little girl did become more rational. Otherwise, according to Lorenzo's previous impression of her, she would have been ready to draw a gun and fire.
But she didn't do those unreasonable things, and even took a backdoor for Lorenzo within her duties.
"Is this love and hate?" Lorenzo continued to talk nonsense. He liked to use this shameless way to relieve embarrassment. It felt like making a very serious matter less serious. .
Eve had obviously seen through Lorenzo's game, as this guy always does.
"So get out of here! Lorenzo!"
Eve said, kicking Lorenzo out of the door of Su Aran Hall.
Lorenzo stood alone on the street, it was approaching night, and the street lights were turned on one after another, as if saying goodbye to the day.
He glanced back at the Su Yalan Hall. Fortunately, the matter did not become too big. Otherwise, it would not be Lorenzo but Pres who would be unlucky. After all, according to the report, he went out with Lorenzo.
Pres needs this job to make a living, but Lorenzo does not. He just needs something to have some fun and fill the emptiness in his heart when he is not killing demons.
After standing on the street and pondering for a while, Lorenzo came up with a new idea, and then walked towards the lower city.
After Lorenzo left, Eve also walked out of Su Yaran Hall, but this time she took off her police uniform and put on a large windbreaker. She seemed to be going home from get off work, but instead she walked onto the Taking the same road as Lorenzo, it seems that the two people's goal is the same place.
What a surprise, Eve never expected to meet Loren today...at least not in this way.
The girl's eyes were a little cold. Although she said she was sensible, she still wanted to shoot Lorenzo. After all, the demon hunter couldn't die, so a shot would be a good way to relieve his anger.
During Lawrence's raid, Eve's world was shattered into countless pieces. She had faced monsters and looked directly at the terrifying thing, but Eve still had the power to resist even then, but when facing Lawrence, it was... A helpless feeling of despair.
She was in the dark seabed, with no one able to save her. Her last hope could only fall on Lorenzo. But at that time, the demon hunter seemed to be unable to save himself, but... But Eve still had some expectations, Maybe Lorenzo just yelled about love and peace and got rid of Lawrence?
But the miracle didn't happen, Lorenzo didn't want to save her, he even wanted to take her to hell with him.
There was no sense of despair at that time, but Eve suddenly felt very lost.
You think you guys are dead brothers, jumping over the car together, killing the monster together, but this bastard sold you backhandedly.
Eve also recalled the scene at that time. There was no need for her to blame Lorenzo. The demon hunter also fought to eradicate demons. Compared with this great ideal, she was indeed slightly pitiful.
But then someone she never expected appeared, and Arthur took the fatal blow.
It was a difficult decision. Lorenzo killed everything indifferently for a great ideal, but Arthur, who had been sticking to it, abandoned everything and chose to save Eve.
It was also from then on that the world that Arthur had concealed was officially revealed in front of Eve's eyes, and he could no longer hide it.
But this time the conversation between father and daughter was no longer as intense as before. At that time, Eve suddenly understood why Arthur had always wanted to send her away. It turned out that she was so close to the dark world. .
At the end of the conversation, both parties made a compromise. Arthur allowed Eve to pursue her dream of becoming a police detective. At the same time, everything ended there. Arthur would not reveal anything related to the dark world to her, and she was not allowed to ask. Everyone just pretended as if nothing happened and continued to live.
But Eve has never been a peaceful person. She has her own ideas. She clearly knows that the dark world is somewhere in the old Dunling, and she is about to find that door.
She stopped suddenly and looked down at her palms.
A faint cyan color can be seen under the fair skin. She is a human being, but different blood flows in her veins.
Eve still remembered what Lorenzo said to her. There was something wrong with her body. Although it was not the powerful secret blood of the demon hunter, it should be something close to the secret blood. This could be seen from Arthur. Come out, what the hell Captain Inverg, but that old guy said nothing.
Her state of mind at the moment was very strange, and she couldn't describe it. It was like having a long sweet dream. Now this carefully woven dream was broken. She was exposed to the cold wind and still didn't know her own nature.
In fact... maybe he is also some kind of Captain Yingerweg.
Female captain?It sounds pretty exciting.
Arthur will not reveal those things and is not allowed to ask, but this does not mean that Eve should not be allowed to dig out the truth on her own.She walked towards the lower town.
Although she was scared, Eve felt that she still learned a lot that night. For example, sometimes her life could only be held in her own hands, so there was a firearm hidden under this large windbreaker.
Putting on her hat and hiding her face in the shadows, Eve didn't have much time. If she went back too late, Arthur would definitely be wary.
But Eve had just taken two steps when a mouse ran past her with a red chain hanging from its tail.
Looking at the mouse that flashed by, she hesitated for a moment, then sighed, seemingly giving up on her planned schedule tonight, and turned back, walking honestly towards her home.
