Arthur sat quietly in front of the window, watching the sunset in Old Turin.

This is an icy city, with only steel and condensed cold water. Only at sunset, the fiery red light curtain spreads down, warming the icy hue a bit, although it is only a short illusion, but it is also restful assured.

He sighed exhaustedly and drank all the wine in the glass. The hard work of the past few days made him a little bit depressed. Maybe he didn’t expect that fighting with these people would be more tired than fighting against Demon. He clearly wanted to kill him. With Anthony, but for the benefit, Arthur still wants to laughed to these Florence visitors.

Of course, apart from these and the deeper game, the exiles have already joined the cleansing agency. Although they are also suspicious, they are not dangerous compared to the problems of the mission. Now the mission, the Anthony Father, he still doesn’t know all this.

The cleansing agency is doing deals with the two at the same time, which is like dancing on the tip of a knife. Even though this is Old Turin, the home of the cleansing agency, Arthur can’t help but worry about whether there will be any accidents.

What worries him even more is the information that Father Anthony brought to him the night Anthony arrived.

This Father Anthony came prepared, as if planned, and threw one important piece of information to Arthur. This may not change the situation, but it can cause internal problems in his side. Regarding these things, he Galahad has been sent to confirm to the exiles.

Slowly put down the wine glass, his hands tremble uncontrollably, observing carefully, the skin is also covered with wrinkles, and he is also old.

Arthur stared at the fiery red clouds gradually becoming gloomy, watching the darkness devour the city little by little, slowly, fascinated, his eyes gradually becoming dull, until a sudden noise interrupted everything.

The door behind him was pushed open, and Blue Jade stood at the door gasping for breath, holding a capsule-shaped object in his hand.

This is the pneumatic logistics transportation system of the cleansing agency. Put the objects to be transported into the capsule inside, and it will be pushed by the compressed gas and spread underground in the logistics pipeline, covering the secrets of every cleansing agency in Old Turin. stronghold. This is usually used to transmit important information, in order to control the flow of people, it is often used in Broken Dome inside.

“Galahad news?”

Seeing Blue Jade returning, Arthur snapped his head and asked.

Blue Jade was tired and speechless, she was just nodded hard.

She didn’t know what Arthur wanted to do. It seemed that there was some important information that needed to reach him quickly. For this reason, Blue Jade was dispatched. She went to the nearest stronghold nearby, and then borrowed the pneumatic logistics there to obtain this Intelligence sent from elsewhere.

Then it was like this, running all the way back, just to let Arthur see this quickly.

Arthur also showed his urgency and greeted him directly. Regardless of Blue Jade, he grabbed the capsule and tore off the Warning seal on it. After opening it, there were several reports and several black and white photos. .

As if a terrifying secret was in front of his eyes, Arthur grabbed the reports, which were Galahad’s handwriting. He recorded all the important information in the conversation between him and Shermans. Those words were reflected in his eyes, constantly In their reading, they weaved a story that Arthur was somewhat unacceptable.

The Old Guy couldn’t believe it. He repeatedly confirmed Galahad’s records, but the words would not be deformed. They have been recorded. Repeated observations only kept the truth in his mind. He seemed to realize this. Finally sat back in the chair somewhat lonely.

Blue Jade has never seen Arthur like this. It may also be a manifestation of Arthur’s over-stress. This guy has been fighting with Anthony in the past few days. He has been fighting with each other two times, trying to win as much for himself as possible. During this period, Arthur did not visit his daughter. Eve has not heard from her after being sent to Black Mountain Hospital. Arthur is very worried about her situation.

She just wanted to say something, but Arthur said before her first.

“Anthony succeeded. Should he be the confidant of the new pope? The method is really powerful.”

He muttered to himself, his expression complicated.

“How… what?”

Blue Jade asked suspiciously. Although it was Arthur’s guard, she did not know many things. She knew nothing about the conversation between Arthur and Anthony.

“We are a solid group, and the cleansing agency is indestructible. Any external force will only make us closer and stronger, but when to split from the inside?”

Arthur looked at the black and white photo, slowly said.

“What happened?” Blue Jade began to realize the seriousness of the problem.

“It’s very complicated… let me think about it.”

Arthur seemed to be thinking about the stakes, and he said again after a long time.

“Blue Jade, do you think… Lorenzo Holmes is the enemy?”

Looking at the man in that photo, he didn’t wait for Blue Jade’s answer. This sentence was more like saying to the person in the photo.

He lightly said.

“Are you the enemy? Mr. Lorenzo Holmes.”

The night enveloped Old Turin. Amidst Arthur’s soft questioning, the galloping sound of a carriage came from the window. The horses vented their heat, and their horses’ hoofs banged heavily on the stone bricks, and the wheels swiftly turned, running over debris and silt. , Washed through the stagnant water, and discarded them all.

As time passed, Anthony extended the hand opened the curtain and cast his eyes from the carriage, carefully admiring the night of Old Turin. Although his status was high, he was also the first time to come to Old Turin, everywhere here. It is new to him.

This is like a strange new land, where every place can bring surprises to strangers.

Swallowing hot steam towers, burning stoves, steam overflowing from below the surface, and giant whales that circle the sky.

These all are things that have never been seen in Florence, even Anthony couldn’t help but tremble slightly, awe in this advanced city.

“how are you feeling?”

Arthur asked the passenger who had just disembarked. After receiving Anthony, the carriage moved towards the embassy. This was the first contact between the two countries after many years. Arthur wanted to be as strong as possible. Give Anthony any time to rest and pull him directly into his wagon.

“Very good, it’s hard to imagine that these are humans.”

Anthony didn’t hesitate to praise his praises. The towering buildings stood up in rows, standing one upon another under the hazy fog, forming a cold and depressing steel jungle.

“So how about I go straight to the topic?”

Arthur said directly that although Anthony’s attitude was good, he didn’t want to be too polite with this guy.

“Get to the point? Well, this matter is very urgent for us at Evangelion Church.”

Anthony didn’t express too much expression, and the hideous scar on his face calmed down. As he spoke, he lifted the suitcase he carried with him and took out a copy of the documents he had prepared.

“According to the report from the Temple of Stasis, we found the traces of Lawrence. He is active on your Irvine land. We hope to cooperate to capture him.”

Arthur was silent. He didn’t reveal the information that Lawrence was dead.

“The main purpose is for “Revelation”, right.”

Arthur asked directly, this is what Evangelion Church cares more about than a traitor.

“Of course, but more than that.”

Anthony wasn’t surprised that Arthur knew this, and he didn’t make any waves, just continued.

“According to our investigation, Sacred Coffin appeared on your territory.”

The remains of Holy Grail is sealed in the forbidden coffin. According to the treatment of Evangelion Church, it will be thrown into the deep sea and temporarily sealed up, but during this period it was contested between the cleansing agency and Lawrence. In the end, Lawrence won. End.

“Yes.”

Arthur replied, but he did not disclose more information.

Seeing these Anthony seemed to have a headache, and then said coldly.

“Arthur, this time we are here for the purpose of cooperation, not for war. This is not good for either of us. It will only let the Demon and the traitors win the benefits.”

“To blame, blame the problems left over from history. After all, your Demon Hunter Order was once so strong, even we can only drag out an ignoble existence in the shadows.”

There is a medicinal smell in Arthur’s words. What once made the cleansing agency afraid of was not the Demon, but the Demon Hunter Order behind the sea. They monopolized the technology against Demon, and they would never allow the second Demon Hunter Order to appear until With the influx of armor technology and the development of original sin armor, they have a certain degree of resistance, and the cleansing agency has recovered from this panic all day long.

But soon his attitude changed and then he said.

“What you said is also right. I am a decision maker. I only have positions and interests, not personal emotions. There are no absolute enemies, only absolute interests.”

Arthur continued, speaking as if showing sincerity.

“The cleansing agency did not get Sacred Coffin, it was snatched by Lawrence.”

“It can be seen that if you get the Sacred Coffin, maybe a few months ago, Old Turin fell…you don’t even know what they are.”

Anthony looks like he knows everything, his expression has always been aloof and remote, which makes Arthur very unhappy.

“That is the source of all disasters, where all sins hide.”

“Do you want to recycle it this time? With “Revelation”?” Arthur asked.

“Of course, that’s the property of Evangelion Church, and it’s something we should always do, so we need Lawrence’s whereabouts.”

The Temple of Stasis roughly judged the location of Lawrence, but this is the territory of Irvine, and Anthony needs the assistance of the cleansing agency for further actions.

“Is that so… but he is dead, and the clue is broken.”

Arthur didn’t hide it, and said it directly.

The cleansing agency has been searching for a long time. After the death of Lawrence, Sacred Coffin…or the remains of Holy Grail and “Revelation” in Sacred Coffin disappeared mysteriously, and these two distinct things can bring great danger. They have tried their best I searched for it, but I still found nothing, and after that, there was still secret blood, a new type of secret blood that was mixed into the hallucinogen.

Lawrence has a team, and that team hides in the depths. The longer they hide, the more dangerous they become. Instead of looking for it alone, it is better to accept the assistance of Evangelion Church.

“he died?”

Anthony also seemed surprised. He never thought that the terrifying Demon Hunter Reverend would also die. Then he thought of something and asked with some doubts.

“You killed him?”

Arthur nodded, said somewhat threateningly.

“This is not an era where swords and shields can rule. Steel and flames are the new masters.”

Irvine’s industrial fire ignited, and Lawrence was unable to resist in the torrent.

Anthony stared at Arthur’s eyes, hoping to find a little weak spot in it. The atmosphere solidified, and the carriage ran across the streets of Old Turin, rolling up the fog, and dissipating it.

“No…you can’t do it just by relying on you, a monster like Lawrence, he has lived for so long, a monster like Demon Hunter, the more he grows older, the stronger he gets…”

After a brief consternation, Anthony reacted and whispered.

“What do you mean? Years grow?” Arthur obviously didn’t understand him.

“This is my sincerity. This is one of the unknown secrets. The Demon Hunter people do not die well. This is because they will be executed secretly when they reach a certain age. Lawrence is an exception. This monster has survived. For a long time, no one can check and balance him.”

Seeing this situation, Anthony also released some secrets appropriately.

This time Anthony’s attitude was indeed like he wanted to have a good talk with Arthur, he continued.

“Because of the intensity of the battle against Demon, the Demon Hunter has suffered a lot of casualties, but there will always be a part of the Demon Hunter who will survive, but as they grow older, their will will weaken, and the Demon’s power will become stronger.”

“So?” Arthur motioned for him to continue, “This is a good start, Anthony, this is what the exchange of information looks like.”

Anthony paused for a while, and after hesitating for a few minutes, he continued to say that this is not about the pros and cons.

“You also tried to reproduce the secret blood technique, right?”

There is nothing to deny, Arthur nodded, expressing affirmation. In fact, the horizontal contrast of the ranger technology is the secret blood technology, which was born in a secret study in the Black Mountain Hospital, but was eventually stopped for various reasons.

“In fact, the secret blood technology is to inject Demon’s blood into the body of the Demon Hunter, but we all know that blood will die, just like the blood in the human body, it will die, be metabolized, and then new blood It emerges from the hematopoietic system of the human body and replaces the dead.”

Anthony tried to explain this to Arthur, but he didn’t know the specifics. Although he was the new Reverend in his position, he could be regarded as the worst Reverend in the history of Demon Hunter Order. He took office when Evangelion Church was so chaotic and difficult. And if he can’t regain “Revelation”, he is likely to be the last Reverend.

“So?”

“So, no matter how weird and tenacious secret blood is, after time of baptism, it will die and be metabolized within the body of the qualified secret blood.”

Anthony’s voice became enthusiastic.

“But the Demon Hunter people did not lose their power over time. This is precisely because the secret blood gives them power while also transforming them, a little bit of modification, until the human hematopoietic system begins to produce a small amount of secret blood to maintain within the body secret blood.”

“This is the core of “Revelation”, how to refine secret blood, but under the transformation of secret blood, it can be done within the body.”

Anthony looked at the silent Arthur. The swift carriage seemed to have become a hong long long train. They moved towards an unknown place, and they might be able to get there, or they might die halfway.

“As the years grow, this transformation becomes more and more complete. This is a… Demonization, a sensible Demonization.

The skeleton, internal organs, and muscles all began to be different from ordinary people, and the body was gradually dominated by secret blood… Can you know what I mean? “

Arthur was nodded stiff, he said slowly next.

“Lawrence betrayed you and triggered the Night of Advent…this is his premeditated and your persecution, right?”

Anthony expressionless, replied.

“Demon Hunter people have not lost control, but as time goes by, they are still demonizing. The longer they pass, the deeper their demonization will go until they are different from ordinary people from the inside out. At that time, Their breakthrough threshold has completely awakened the secret blood within the body…that is an uncontrollable disaster.”

“So Demon Hunter people have a useful life, but Lawrence survived with the power of Medici old cardinal. The longer he lives, the more dangerous he becomes. The aging will cannot control the body that was demonized by secret blood. We are impossible to tolerate such risks.”

Arthur couldn’t believe it, but then he felt a little absurd and laughed.

“In other words, all these are you reap what you have sown?”

“Not really, just an old will, fearing death.

The Demon Hunter person looks stable and maintains the familiar human form, but under that skin is a completely different flesh and blood, an alienated body eroded by secret blood. “

Anthony was calm and chilling, and Arthur couldn’t help but think of Lorenzo. Demon Hunter is just like that. He doesn’t belong to human beings, nor Demon. They are caught in the gap and live a tenacious life.

“I think you can understand this, just like your Knights, when they become more dangerous, you will do that too, right?”

Arthur startled, he wanted to say something to refute him, but thinking of the walking corpses lying in the Black Mountain Hospital, who had long lost their minds, his voice weakened again.

He is old, far less decisive than he was when he was young. He may have been as cold and ruthless as Anthony, but the years have crushed him and cracked his strong barriers.

“Lawrence has lived for so long, and his strength has exceeded our imagination. It is difficult for you to kill him unless you have the assistance of others.”

Anthony continued his analysis. He remembered that name. From the report of Temple of Stasis, another Demon Hunter appeared near Lawrence.

“It’s him, right, this Demon Hunter named Lorenzo Holmes…or a detective.”

Anthony said that he took out several black-and-white photos from the file, all with different angles, but the common point was the man’s face.

“Don’t be surprised. Although Evangelion Church has fallen, we have at least created a glorious era, haven’t we? For Demon’s technology, we have far more than you see.”

Arthur took the photo, rearranged his emotions, and became cold and merciless. “It looks like you can’t hide the rest.”

“Indeed, it seems that with his assistance, you killed Lawrence, and about the secret of our Evangelion Church, you also learned a lot from him.”

All this is inside Anthony’s expectation. He is much younger than Arthur and crueler than him. It can be said that the exile is the place of Seven Hills that he led the Knights to expel from the temple.

“Why, do you want to catch this traitor?” Arthur harboring malicious intentions asked.

Lorenzo has become a big help for the cleansing agency. Before there are enough benefits, no one can shake the cooperation between the cleansing agency and Lorenzo.

“Almost, in short, he can’t let him drift away like this.”

Anthony said without emotion that the secret order is still going on, and the Demon Hunter who survived the Night of Advent are still being hunted.

Arthur laughed suddenly, he didn’t understand Anthony’s intentions.

“Revelation, the remains of Holy Grail, Lorenzo Holmes… I think you will let us help hunt down those who fled, right?”

These events, no matter which one is not easy, let alone these appear together.

“So, Father Anthony, you and the Evangelion Church behind you, that Saini Lortel, what price can you pay for all this?”

Arthur was slightly angry, but he gradually regained his former feeling. The two people were like cold machines, putting all their interests in front of them, and only seeking to maximize their own interests.

Anthony was silent. There was no sound except the sound of the wheels turning and hitting the ground. The cold wind poured into the car and stimulated the nerves of the two people.

Suddenly Anthony laughed, with a bit of ridicule and contempt in his smile, then he said.

“Sometimes, you don’t have to pay, as long as you have the same interests, what do you say? Arthur, just like you and Lorenzo Holmes teamed up, because you are all against Lawrence, so he will help you at no cost.”

“Do you think we have the same interests, I will catch Lorenzo with you?”

Arthur felt a little unreasonable. Although Lorenzo was a bit neurotic, he was much more reliable than Anthony.

“This is natural. Actually, I don’t understand one thing very much about you. I came to meet you in a formal capacity, but you were 100% wary of me, even with malicious intent, but what about Lorenzo Holmes?”

Anthony revealed his true intentions. Compared to the remains of “Revelation” Holy Grail, Lorenzo, the guy who has always been in the field of vision, is the best target.

“Lorenzo Holmes, a Demon Hunter who suddenly appeared in front of you. He just helped you hunt Demon and gained your trust, and your understanding of him only comes from his own self-report.”

He asked as if he didn’t understand.

“Is it that simple for your cleansing agency to accept a stranger? What if everything Lorenzo Holmes said is a lie? You should know him too, right, he is a cunning liar who is proficient in misleading and calculating, how can you be sure Is the Lorenzo you saw real without lies?”

Anthony spoke and threw a document. If it was said that Arthur had been chasing him, now it was Anthony’s counterattack. Inside the carriage, he only used words to meet the enemy.

“do you know who he is?”

Anthony took the black-and-white photo and showed it to Arthur. In the photo, the man was leaning on the street, hazy.

“Lorenzo Holmes.”

Arthur has seen this damn face many times, how could he not remember it.

But then Anthony sneered, and he asked again.

“Then do you know his name when he was in Demon Hunter Order?”

Arthur remained silent. He didn’t know or didn’t know. Only then did he realize that although Lorenzo had provided a lot of knowledge about Demon, he never mentioned his name when he was in Order.

“Let’s talk about it, Arthur, all the information in this document is related to Lorenzo Holmes. It was when he was in the Demon Hunter Order. Let’s compare whether he lied.”

“Is it important that he didn’t lie? Our cleansing agency has always been very open about his background.” Arthur shot back.

Hearing the coldness on Anthony’s face even worse, he directly handed the documents in front of Arthur.

“But what if he is a Demon of extreme danger? He approaches you by fair means or foul, and kills Lawrence to gain your trust?”

Anthony folded his hands together, leaning on the back of his chair, his voice indifferent, coldly narrating the forbidden story.

“Night of Advent brings not only destruction, but also terrifying disasters. This is our mistake, and we are also trying to make up for it. My presence here is the best proof. In that night, although Evangelion Church suffered heavy casualties, but we also succeeded in creating an unknown weapon.”

“Unknown weapon?”

Arthur didn’t understand why Anthony mentioned this suddenly.

“Yes, unknown. We don’t understand its nature, its form, or even its good and evil. When it was born in the Night of Advent, the night of destruction, the participants died in the Night of Advent. We I also got information about its existence from the survivors.”

“So?”

“It is the evil born from Holy Grail. It is a temptation for human beings to the unknown unknown.”

Anthony recalled the information given to him by the new pope, and even if he read the text, he felt that hell was right in front of him.

“According to Yanar’s intelligence, a Demon Hunter man killed it with him in the battlefield of that hell, and escaped from the control of Evangelion Church.

Based on the writing of those words, this may be an evil that can rival Holy Grail. “

Anthony looked directly at Arthur. The priest came prepared at first. Everyone guessed his purpose, their intentions, and everything in the story.

Arthur suddenly felt an unspeakable heaviness, aroused from the man in front of him, and pressed against his chest like heavy mountains and rocks, and he couldn’t breathe in this small carriage.

“go on.”

Arthur’s eyes were the same indifference. He began to understand what Anthony was saying and doing. His eyes were frozen on the black and white photo and couldn’t move away.

“Who is the Demon Hunter who took the evil away?” he asked.

Anthony slowly picked up the black-and-white photo, and his voice seemed to sound from a strange gloom.

“We call him 047. He is the Demon Hunter named Medanzo.”

Arthur’s breathing suddenly froze, and all the voices disappeared in an instant, except for Anthony’s words echoing in his ears.

“And you call him…Lorenzo Holmes.”

In the dead night, only the carriage gradually disappeared into the darkness, the sound of the roaring wheels ran over the mud and rocks, over the years, over everyone’s soul, so an evil spirit dug up the grave and bathed in the soft moonlight under.
