The huge room looked extremely empty, everything was quiet, so quiet that the cold wind outside the window could be heard clearly, the wood in the fireplace crumbled and the clock moved slowly.

It was really comfortable and peaceful. I was nestled by the fireplace in the winter, and there were people accompanying me. Even the time seemed to slow down.

In the end, like a sea of ​​silence that didn’t dare to disturb, Lorenzo was lying on the sofa, looking at the girl under the window.

The sky was getting dark, but there were no lights in the room, and the dim light fell from the window, making Lorenzo a little bit unable to see her.

“It’s been a long time.”

Seleu sighed suddenly, with a slight smile.

“Since I became the heir, we shouldn’t get along like this for a long time.”

Lorenzo thought for a while.

“Are you referring to the time you hovered between life and death in the warehouse?”

The journey back to Irvine with Seleu was full of hardships. It took Lorenzo a lot of effort to get 2 tickets for returning to Irvine. At that time, the two people also got along in such a quiet way, but the quiet at that time was due to the hell of seasickness. .

Hearing that Seleu couldn’t help laughing, it was a rare fond memory for her, although for Lorenzo, he didn’t really want to experience it for the second time.

“What kind of guest would that be?”

Breaking the peaceful silence, Lorenzo asked.

“A…a guest who surprised you.”

Seleu replied that she seemed to like to bother Lorenzo.

“Aren’t you a detective? Use your magical reasoning.”

Looking at the lazy dog ​​nestling on the sofa, this person is like a cloud of fog. You never know from what angle he will give you a surprise.

“That’s not reasoning, Seleu, it’s just a sly trick.”

Lorenzo shook the head. To be honest, he is not really a big detective, but the trick is subtle enough to make everyone think he is a “detective.”

“Then why not continue to use deception? You always have a way to deceive what you want.”

Seleu turned his head and looked at him. There was clearly no extra light, but those azure blue pupils seemed to be releasing dim light. They seemed to be the pupils of the wild beast, reflecting the rays of light in the dark.

“Just like you lied to me at the beginning, you said you were my cousin, come and take me home…”

In the winter many years ago, Lorenzo said this to Seleu, so the girl put down her defenses and he returned to Irvine.

It was really a meeting dictated by fate. You thought you were alone, but the result was a gray inside. Someone reached out to you.

“Deception needs to be used flexibly, such as at different times and from different angles.”

Lorenzo answered faintly.

“This is what I taught you.”

During that not a long journey, Lorenzo taught her a lot of weird things in order to make things easier for herself, to pass the time, or to give Seleu some self-protection ability.

“Yes, a convincing trick.”

Seleu slowly said, she was very good at this, and even said that she did better than Lorenzo under the innate talent who sees through the soul.

“So you… was a lie to me, right?”

The sound sounded like dropping a stone on the surface of still water, causing slight ripples.

“Many times, deception is not only the skill of the deceiver, but also requires the cooperation of the other party. It is not easy for a victim to cooperate with your deception…”

“Unless you know what she wants…”

Lorenzo followed Seleu’s words.

Just like a crying woman, her husband goes to the front without knowing his life or death, so the best way to deceive her is like hiding her husband’s life and death in the words, because this is what she wants to know.

People’s subconscious mind will protect themselves, sometimes even if they know it is a lie, but in order to make the heart feel better, people will easily believe the lie, even if the weak spot is 100 out.

Seleu and Mrs. Van Lude are a classic example. An elderly woman lives alone. She must be eager to care from her younger generations. Seleu has found this point, just like a cunning fox. Perhaps Mrs. Van Lude knows it too. All this, but like a tacit performance, a short dream, she enjoys it very much and does not want to break it.

“Yes, let a vigilant person leave with you in peace… That is the best trick.”

For a helpless beggar, care that never existed is the best trick.

Seleu said in a tranquil voice, the expression is still freezing cold, you can never guess what she is thinking from her expression.

Just like a traveler who is about to freeze to death in the wilderness, even if you are deceiving him in order to avoid the cold, he will not care more.

“Are you… angry?”

Lorenzo asked tentatively.

When he saw Seleu’s first glance, he knew that this little girl was a troublesome ghost and had to find a way to calm her down… He thought that was an unimportant lie.

“Lorenzo, you are such an unexpected guy.”

Seleu did not answer directly. She looked at the scenery outside the window. The sunset of Old Turin was always so magnificent. The gloomy clouds were dyed bright orange red by the setting sun and stretched to the end of the horizon. Countless smoke columns rose from the chimneys. Like the stone pillar that supports Heaven and Earth.

“How to say?”

Lorenzo answered casually. He was thinking about how to change the subject. He has never been good at the strange topics of adolescence.

Let yourself relax, reach out and pick up the desserts aside, at least you can eat and drink here.

“Don’t you realize it yet?”

Seleu said right away, and in that short glance, she seemed to see all of Lorenzo clearly.

“what you mean?”

Lorenzo put down the dessert that was about to be stuffed into his mouth, a little confused, and has several points of curiosity.

Seleu didn’t continue the previous topic, she changed it voluntarily.

“Human emotions, although you laugh hehe now, this is just a disguise for you, under this skin is just a cold machine.”

As if commenting on an exhibit, Seleu said casually.

“You should know that Eve, right?”

The girl who saved herself, Lorenzo and her clearly knew each other during the confrontation with Reverend Lawrence.

“En.”

Lorenzo affirmed.

“Do you still didn’t expect?”

Seleu was a little surprised. I don’t know if Lorenzo was really so slow or cold and ruthless.

“You were going to give up her at the time, such a good girl, give up if you say you give up… This is too cold.”

She looked at Lorenzo. This kind of person is amazing. He will show kindness to you, but when it comes to his goal, he can abandon you without the slightest hesitation, just as if the experience between you is just a little There is nothing but illusion.

“Lorenzo, you must have broken people’s hearts.”

It was a desperate moment. The blade of death was under her neck, like a drowning man thrown into a glacier. She was about to die. The only thing she could catch was Lorenzo, and Lorenzo was at that moment. Chose to give up her.

The gray-blue pupils seemed to solidify, and he looked towards the silhouette by the window, unexpectedly Seleu would mention these.

Of course Lorenzo knows what he did, and he has been avoiding it since then, trying not to think about it.

“That was the optimal solution at the time.”

“Just because of the’optimal solution’?”

Seleu said somewhat mockingly.

“Actually, you are a colder person than I am, Lorenzo.”

Just like an inhuman creature, he tried his best to imitate the appearance of a normal person, but when the real target appeared, he would disguise, like a wild beast with a terrifying head.

“But you have also seen that the extra emotions are just a stumbling block against things like Demon.”

He answered almost relentlessly.

2 The harm is less, if the sacrifice of an Eve can be exchanged for the death of Reverend Lawrence, this is too appropriate.

It was a bloody transaction, and no one had any emotion.

“So that’s why you become like this?”

Seleu came over suddenly, and she looked down at Lorenzo, proudly like that majestic sculpture, with dim light hitting her face, bright and dark.

Lorenzo didn’t avoid it this time, he looked straight at Seleu, nodded.

“You dare to look at me.”

Seleu laughed, sometimes Lorenzo is just like a shy child, not daring to look at others, even more with himself.

“I just don’t know what expression to use to treat people, smile or plain? Sometimes the interaction between people feels heavy, Seleu.”

“That’s why I like to deal with Demon, just swing them to death with a sword.”

Like a weather-beaten old man, Lorenzo said pretendingly.

“So you are always alienating everyone… is it because of Demon?”

An extremely precise blow hit the gap inside the armor.

“Because of the disaster you brought, so you don’t want to get involved with anyone?”

Seleu will always be like this. She can clearly see your hidden parts, then forcibly drag it out and beat it hard.

“You have also seen the result. Eve only knew me not very long, and she almost died in Demon’s hands.”

Lorenzo looked away, he said.

“We call it’connection’, the more it is related to Demon, the more dangerous…”

Suddenly remembered Arthur, he wanted to send Eve away because of Demon, like an iron wall, separating Demon from his daughter’s world.

“You are suppressing your emotions, Lorenzo, you are alone, but you are trying to turn yourself into a cold weapon.”

Because of this, he became withdrawn and tried to pretend to be normal.

She concluded.

“Are you enlightening me?”

Lorenzo suddenly felt like being taught by brat.

“probably.”

“Then what should I call you, Dr. Seleu? This is my first visit to such a luxurious psychology clinic.”

He started to talk nonsense, making the serious atmosphere a little bit relaxed, but Seleu still stared at him earnestly, this method of distracting attention didn’t work for Seleu.

In the long silence, Lorenzo slowly said.

“Emotions affect reason.”

“But sometimes in life, lies and feelings are more important than logic and reason.”

Lorenzo startled, and didn’t know if he lamented that brat would also speak the truth, or something else, he laughed and said casually.

“Seleu, there are some things you don’t understand. Everyone has different problems.”

“The troublesome existence is to solve it.”

“But many things are unanswered.”

Lorenzo said hesitantly. When he said these things, even he was shaken. Can the so-called Demon really be eradicated? It was like a journey with no end in sight, even Lorenzo didn’t know how long he could last.

Suddenly those slender hands grabbed Lorenzo’s collar, a little anger in the ice blue light.

There was a stalemate for a long time, and Lorenzo was like a dead pig, and she didn’t cooperate with the serious atmosphere, and she seemed to know that this would not be the result, Seleu let go of Lorenzo and walked aside to turn on the light. The sky outside the window has darkened.

“You are like a patient who refuses treatment, Lorenzo, you can’t be paranoid.”

The doctor issued a diagnosis for the patient.

“You lack a goal, a goal that will keep you alive.”

“How is it possible, my goal is to stick to it.”

Demon, eradicate all Demon, Lorenzo has never changed.

“Does that kind of thing really count as a goal? Lorenzo, you must easily abandon your identity because of it, right.”

Seleu muttered.

“2 The harm is less.”

Compared with the grand goal, the only humanity is not worth mentioning.

2 People were silent, and in the end they broke up unhappy.

Seleu, who seemed to be closed, opened his heart. Lorenzo, who had several points of neurotic easily, was a serious autistic.

It’s like using hell fatalism to justify yourself, in order to eradicate Demon Lorenzo, he doesn’t care about it.

Suddenly the doorbell rang, opening the next chapter for this unpleasant conversation.

“Get ready, Lorenzo, the guests are here.”

Without seeing who the visitor was, Seleu made a conclusion, and she went out to greet the guest.

Lorenzo sat up upright and tidied his clothes to make himself look less messy.

According to Seleu, she was the one who introduced herself to the guest, and she was well paid.

Not long after, Seleu walked in again, followed by Yahweh. The old steward, holding a pile of letters and books in his hands, steadily placed them on the low table beside Lorenzo, and then stood like a guard. On one side, his expression was serious.

“Where are the guests?”

Lorenzo asked with some confusion, but before he could ask more, Seleu sat opposite him, and the two stayed together again.

Looking at this familiar girl, Lorenzo seemed to know who this guest was.

“This time I will be the representative to discuss with you.”

Seleu opened the letters while talking, and Lorenzo asked suspiciously.

“Who do you represent?”

“Stuart group.”

Seleu answered softly.

“Lorenzo, your mission is important this time.”

Speaking of Seleu, he handed the opened letter to Lorenzo, which was from a member of the Stuart group, and they mailed it here to report the same thing.

“Hound?”

Lorenzo looked at the description in the letter. In the dark night, all the members related to Stuart saw weird hounds. They wailed hoarsely, surrounding everyone’s residence.

“We thought it was an illusion at first, but impossible everyone has the same illusion, right.”

Seleu said.

“Not to mention, the members of the group are all over Irvine.”

“When did this happen?”

Lorenzo frowned asked.

“I don’t know.”

Seleu turned up more letters, these all are feedback from the members.

“We were confused at first, and didn’t know how to investigate until I found Demon…”

“Do you think it has something to do with Demon?”

Lorenzo became alert, and Seleu nodded about it.

“This is what you taught me. Exclude all impossible. No matter how weird the remaining options are, it is the only answer.”

It was just to pass the boring words of the journey, but Seleu still remembers it now.

“Then do you have any clues?”

Lorenzo raised a bit of interest, like a wild beast smelling blood, he will always hunt down the Demons.

Seleu didn’t answer, but instead looked at Yahweh, only to see Old Steward struggled a bit, picked up an old book and handed it to Lorenzo.

“Do you know the curse that hangs over Stuart?”

“curse?”

Lorenzo felt a little weird. It stands to reason that a little scandal of this Great Family would be fired, let alone a weird curse, but he had never heard of it in Old Turin’s time.

“My family has served the Stuart family for many years. For a long time, our family can be regarded as Stuart’s living history, so I know many secrets that the outside world does not know.”

Yahweh said slowly.

“This is a curse from Baskerville.”
