Just like every spring in Old Turin, cold rain washes this steel city. Although it is often maintained, the whole city still looks like rusty and countless lights in this hazy water vapor inside. Smudged by it, it turns into a magnificent neon.

The residents of Old Turin have long been accustomed to such a climate. The dark umbrellas are opened one after another, and countless blooming flowers gather on the street. These black flowers follow the flow of water in the building and construction. Surging between the crevices.

Joey is holding a black umbrella and stepping on shallow puddles.

The rainy season in Old Turin is here, and the city will be like this in the next few weeks. The patter of rain keeps falling, so gloomy, as if it will never stop. Joey felt that his soul was about to be saturated.

This mysterious conversation finally ended with Lorenzo’s departure. Joey was only ordered to act and stayed outside the gate. He didn’t know what was going on inside, he just saw the abominable appearance of Lorenzo leaving.

Arthur didn’t reveal much information, but just told Joey to observe Lorenzo’s mental state after that, and he didn’t know what happened to them.

Finally, before Joey came to this building again, the house number of 121A Cork Street was hanging on it.

After sorting out his emotions, Joey knocked on the door, then pushed it away and stepped in.

“Is Lorenzo back?”

Joey stood at the door and shouted into the room. After a while, Mrs. Van Lude walked out of it, looking at Joey with a puzzled look.

“En? Didn’t you take him away this morning?”

Often weird people take Lorenzo away. Of course, Lorenzo looks different every time he comes back. Sometimes it’s like a tired social animal, exhausted, and sometimes radiant, as happy as robbing a bank, of course it’s more. Most of the time he was covered in blood, but it was often the blood of others.

“Has he not returned yet?”

It seemed that after leaving there, Lorenzo did not return to 121A Cork Street, which confused Joey.

As Arthur said, everyone has a place to return, but Lorenzo doesn’t. Joey couldn’t think of where Lorenzo would be at the moment. It was here that he discovered that this guy is so free and unconstrained.

“This way…”

It looks like he’s rushed, but you don’t have to worry about Lorenzo so much. Maybe that guy is in an alley in the lower city district, venting his anger at a group of bad luck ghosts.

“Joey?”

Suddenly another voice sounded.

Higgs slowly walked down the stairs. He just heard the voice upstairs and was familiar. Didn’t expect it would really be Joey.

Joey raised his head, and saw Higgs looking at himself with some surprise.

Obviously Joey is one of Higgs’ few friends, although this way of making friends is a bit strange.

“Are you going out?”

Joey saw Higgs well dressed and holding an umbrella in his hand.

“There is a mutual aid association today, and the doctor wants to discuss with us the spiritual issue.”

Higgs is very concerned about the Mutual Aid Association. It can be said that he can get rid of hallucinogen, and to a certain extent, he has to thank those patients.

“Mental problems?”

Joey couldn’t help but care about this vocabulary. After the end, Arthur always mentioned this vocabulary intentionally or unintentionally. This seemed to be the main content of the secret conversation, not to mention that he was here to understand Lorenzo’s mental state.

“After all, that doctor is from Black Mountain Hospital. To be honest, I can always hear some strange stories about Black Mountain Hospital, but I have never seen it personally.”

Higgs said somewhat confused.

The city of Old Turin will never lack those mysterious urban legends, such as the rat that knows everything, the butcher bird that eats flesh, the city of machinery built deep underground, etc…. The Black Mountain Hospital is also one of them. The mental hospital is accompanied by a nursing home with a very large area.

Some people say that there are many madmen hidden there. They talk crazy prayers all day long. People who hear them will be contaminated by them and join the crazy muttering.

Some people say that cruel human experiments are being conducted there, and Irvine is trying to create a terrifying monster to dominate the world.

Of course, these are nothing more than strange rumors. Under the control of the scavengers’ news, these amazing things have also become the little stories of the citizens.

However, Black Mountain Hospital still has certain weirdness. For example, its scale is so huge, but inside the crowded Old Turin, you can hardly detect its existence.

Yes, that’s it. Everyone knows that there is such a hospital, but when asked about its location, no one knows its location.

“Black Mountain Hospital…”

Reading the name lightly, Joey tried his best not to think about his experience in the hospital.

“Do you want to be together? Joey, it seems you haven’t been to the mutual aid association for a long time.”

Higgs asked tentatively. He really hopes Joey can go with him. It is better to have a companion than to go alone.

Just as Joey hesitated, Higgs continued.

“If you are looking for Lorenzo… he usually comes back at night, and you never know where he will be until he returns? Waiting is waiting anyway, right?”

Joey was silent for a while, and looked at the gloomy rain curtain outside the window. They crash-bang, and the hazy fog seemed to be some kind of unknown monster, engulfing the passing pedestrians one after another.

“Ok.”

He replied.

……

In fact, Joey’s mental state is not very good. Although he is normal on the surface, sometimes he feels that he and Lorenzo have several points of similarity, but to be precise, they are both somewhat negative people.

Lorenzo has a serious tendency to self-destruct. Although speaking of which is negative, this guy on the road to death is always full of enthusiasm, and Joey is a little unclear. He just sometimes feels that doing nothing makes sense and can’t mention it. strength.

This may be related to the battle with Demon. Being an enemy of that kind of evil creature is more or less traumatic.

It seems to think of those bad pasts again, Joey forces himself not to think about them, it seems that those pasts do not exist.

“How are you doing recently?”

Higgs asked suddenly while moving under the rain curtain.

He was slightly shorter than Joey, and Higgs raised the edge of the umbrella and looked at him with a smile.

“Alright.”

Joey said briefly.

Maybe because he didn’t want to make the topic too quiet, he looked at the hazy rain curtain, and then said.

“I quite like rain.”

Joey raised his head as he spoke, and the gloomy sky was covered by heavy rain, as if the sea and sky had been replaced. The giant steel whale slowly walked through the rain curtain, making melodious whale sounds from time to time.

“They said Yu Angel was depressed,” Higgs said.

“To be precise, the daylight is missing.”

Joey said that humans are like plants and need the care of sunlight, but Old Turin is not a friendly city to humans, and there is rarely that clear sky here.

“So?”

“Almost, I remember what the doctors at Black Mountain Hospital said. The rain only aggravated it.”

The 2 people chatted casually. Soon after, the White Church gradually showed its original appearance in the hazy rain and fog. It seems that it has indeed been reused. The accumulated debris and weeds have been cleaned up. The historic church is inside There was a faint singing, as if a group of people were holding hands and praising the divine.

“Sometimes rainy days always remind me of my hometown.”

Higgs said suddenly.

“I haven’t been back since the day I left home. It’s been too long, and I can’t remember it after a long time. Only on rainy days, the fuzzy outline may become clearer.”

Higgs said halfway, and smiled kindly at Joey. Joey didn’t understand why he suddenly mentioned this. Maybe this is what is called the heart of the conversation.

“It was a coastal town… I can’t remember clearly. The only connection with the outside world was a railroad track that crossed the wilderness. At that time, I thought that town was a cage, and that railroad track was the only way to escape.

Because of the coastal areas, there will always be some rainstorms spreading there, heavy rain pours at night, lightning and thunder. “

“You don’t look like someone who will actively talk about this.” Joey asked. Higgs is a somewhat introverted guy, but an introverted guy is not.

“Yes, but people always have to make changes. Change is a good thing. Just like the steam engine has changed this World, sometimes our lives need to be changed.”

As he approached the Whitechapel, Higgs’ expression was filled with joy.

“Is it because of the mutual aid association?”

Joey suddenly became wary for some reason, and he didn’t know why this happened.

“Almost everyone has different flaws, but here everyone encourages each other to overcome those flaws and become a better self and a more true self.”

Higgs said looking towards Joey, his voice with strange magic power.

“Don’t you, Joey? You can see that you and I are similarly confused.”

Joey startled, a long time passed.

“maybe.”

Every member of the cleansing agency conducts psychological evaluations regularly. Joey has always been normal, but he knows very well that the data on paper is only good. As long as the psychological quality is good enough, these can be disguised. He also knows his own loss, but he has always resisted. Consult a doctor.

It was a process of opening up, but not everyone wanted it. Behind every door, there is a hidden secret.

“Hello everyone.”

Higgs’s overly hearty voice brought Joey’s thoughts back to reality inside. The cold water vapor was isolated as the door closed, and the warmth slowly approached.

I can see a group of people sitting together in the candlelight of Ruhai. Just as Joey saw at that time, they are different in age, gender, and social status, but it is such a different group of people sitting in harmony. Together, it’s like a close family.

At the front of the crowd, the man looked at you with a smile.

Joey can see the difference between men at a glance. His position is above the stairs. Although it seems to be close to everyone, it is aloof and remote.

He wears glasses and gives people a peaceful temperament. Unlike the fierce doctors in Black Mountain Hospital, he gives people a peaceful temperament, like the warm sunshine under a rain curtain.

For a doctor, this kind of temperament is very convenient. Without your excessive words, your patients will treat you as confidable, open their hearts, and reveal the hidden sinful things.

It seems that only the doctor noticed the arrival of the two people, and the others were still making noise and talking nonstop.

Outside the window is the world poured by heavy rain, cold and lonely, and under this white brick fortress, different people gather together warmly, talking about the innermost things. The contrast between all these is so great, under the cold world, here How warm it is

For a moment Joey couldn’t help but want to fall into this warm inside, but soon he realized the strange feeling, Joey instinctively felt the strange danger, but he didn’t know where the danger came from.

But soon he realized the difference.

Joey still remembers what these people looked like when he came last time. Everyone was a kind of repentance, but now that confession is over. Everyone has a positive attitude towards life. This positivity is so tough, like acting too hard. Similarly, under the warmth is an unspeakable sense of violation.

Higgs also blended into this inside, and they laughed and laughed, but this weird feeling was like some kind of gathering.

Joey resisted the weird feeling in his heart, and then slowly raised his gaze, facing the man.

He is sober, and Joey is sober.

A weird atmosphere permeated the inside of this church, and everyone except the two of them sank into the inexplicable and beautiful inside.

Joey made a calm judgment. He couldn’t tell where the strange feeling came from. Now he can only try his best to pretend that he doesn’t know anything, and just treats all of this as an ordinary mutual aid association.

Immediately after the man came over, he wiped his glasses while walking, and put them on.

“Joey Joshua, I remember you.”

The man didn’t wait for Joey to speak, he said first.

“I wanted to say hello to you last time, but you left before I could speak.”

Joey didn’t respond. He stared at the man in front of him closely, trying to get enough information from this face, trying to get rid of the weird disguise.

But soon he gave up. The disguise was so perfect. The only doubt was that it was too perfect. Joey could only see an unknown blank on this face.

Suddenly the man stretched out his hand, as if watching Joey’s silence, he took the initiative to introduce himself.

“I am currently a consultant physician for this mutual aid association.”

There was a thunderbolt across the window, and the pale thunderbolt was reflected on the man’s lens. It seemed that a blazing firework rose briefly in this brief moment, overlapping with the thunderbolt, and then dissipated.

“James Moriarty.”

This is the man’s name, like a weird spell, echoing in Joey’s mind.
