The torrential rains became more and more violent, as if they were long-saved vengeance, they were dropping from the sky, washing away the sins of the city.

Obviously, this rainy season is extremely fierce. The pale thunder snakes are marching in the billowing dark clouds. Every time they appear, they bring dazzling light to this gloomy world. Then these lights disperse the steel giant whales, those The giant beasts who never dived landed one after another, and the terrifying thunderstorm days were not enough to fight with the existing power of mankind.

It seems that there is a ridicule behind the dark cloud, and the monsters are swaying natural disasters wantonly.

The thunderbolt flashed past like a flash of light, reflecting the distortion of the city, and in the center of it all, the sharp spire still pointed directly at the sky, lonely but indestructible.

Hercule was standing at the outlet of the sewer. Crash-bang water gushed from the channel beside him and poured into the River Thames below. Because of the heavy rain, the stagnant water was about to overflow the shore.

“It’s magnificent, that tower is not often seen.”

Hercule was enjoying the thunderstorm. He was in the gloomy sewer, but he looked up at the aloof and remote spire.

“I don’t remember that there is such a building in Old Turin.”

Lorenzo held on to the damp wall, and then sat down slowly. Maybe he really needs to rest for a while, looking towards the lonely spire outside, it is so huge, it is far higher than all the buildings in Old Turin , As if communicating with Heaven Realm.

“Because it is usually covered by exhaust gas, those thick fogs not only cover up the sky, but also cover up those tall buildings. Usually the upper part of the tower is covered by cumulus clouds. Only in this bad weather Then, the strong wind can disperse the smoke so that it can really be revealed.”

Hercule obviously knew a lot, then he asked.

“Do you know its name?”

Lorenzo shook the head, the confused mind has no extra energy to think about something else.

As if to get Lorenzo interested, Hercule paused for a while, then said.

“Dunling Tower.”

Lorenzo raised his head slightly, with confusion in his eyes.

“Yes, it’s called Dunling Pagoda, Dunling Pagoda and Old Turin, it’s very interesting, right?”

Hercule said and sat down against the damp wall, shoulder to shoulder with Lorenzo, holding the big furry mouse in his arms.

“Lorenzo, we are now in a city of innovation. Things born in this city have changed the entire world, and similarly, those things are also changing the city itself.”

“You seem to know a lot.”

Lorenzo raised a little interest, temporarily setting aside the mystery of the damn identity.

“Yeah, these are the secrets in the Imperial Family archives, but you also know my desire for control as a person, and I will not allow those secrets to be outside my knowledge.”

He said, pointing to his head, which Lorenzo was just laughed barely.

“You haven’t been executed yet, but you are really dead.”

“It’s not that serious. This is an abandoned project. Maybe the current Leader doesn’t remember such a thing.”

Hercule explained this to Lorenzo as she spoke.

The rainwater surging in the channel in front of them dragged the leaves and debris into the River Thames. The two people were like big mice shrunken in the shadows, talking about the things under the glory.

“Don’t you have any doubts about the name of this city? Old Turin, the old Turin, where is the new Turin?”

Hercule looked at the minaret surrounded by thunderbolt behind the rain.

“This plan was put forward at the end of Glorious War, and it has been several decades since now. Now those parties are either dead or dying. They are gradually forgotten by the world… There are many situations like this, those whimsical guys. I can always come up with something novel, but it can’t be realized for various reasons, so I can only be locked in an iron cabinet full of dust.

Generally speaking, it was a great change after the steam engine. Although the power of steam changed the world, the scholars who were at the forefront had also realized the shortcomings of the steam engine. They needed more powerful power.

For example…electricity. “

Hercule stared at the Dunling Pagoda in the distance, and the dark clouds that thunderbolt rolled became thicker, like falling iron curtains, slowly approaching the ground until they crushed everything they touched.

“They have demarcated a new urban area in Old Turin, an experimental urban area that is not recorded on the map, and named it Dunling. They plan to initially try power supply there, and then spread to the entire Old Turin after the experiment is successful. Turin, at that time Old Turin was shedding body, exchanging bones, and became a new city named Dunling.

Scholars built the towering Dun Ling Pagoda, and countless cables wrapped around the building to transmit the electricity. But in the end, the experiment failed due to the loss of power transmission, some technical difficulties, and factors of the times. , Dunling Project was locked in an iron cabinet, and the tower was also covered by dark clouds, no one knew. “

Hercule’s words are full of pity, he has seen the dusty documents with his own eyes, and he can read the ambitions from several decades ago in the fuzzy handwriting.

“At that time, the steam engine was already a mature and powerful technology, and electricity was just a speculation on the future direction. Everyone was afraid of failure. Coupled with the immaturity of electricity technology, it is better to push all the bets on this. Get on the steam engine… The result is also good. Glorious War won, and the technology of the steam engine pushed Irvine to the top of the Western world.

But…but I always feel that those people have not given up, have not given up on electricity. “

“what happened?”

Lorenzo was very interested in the city’s past and asked.

“It’s very simple. The Dunling project failed, but the city covered by electricity has not been erased, and the electricity has been expanding with a little effort. Although it has not conquered the city after so long, it has also changed. Can be seen everywhere, right?

This is also the reason why Old Turin is so fascinating. This city is like the epitome of the entire Western world, where you can feel the change. “

There was a cold wind pouring into this sewer, and the coldness made Hercule a little unbearable.

“That’s it for the review, Lorenzo, now your problem is the first.”

Hercule said and stood up, and he motioned to Lorenzo to also get up and follow him.

“Where are we going?”

“A safe place.”

Hercule looked back at Lorenzo.

“Didn’t you tell me? Those people in the mission won’t let it go, maybe they are looking for you all over the city with a knife?”

“Is there a safe place in this sewer?”

Lorenzo was a little skeptical. He knew the terrain here was complicated, but it was just complicated, and safety was definitely not considered safe.

“Did you know? There are two kinds of mice.”

Hercule laughed.

“One is wild mice, they are usually mixed in dirty sewers.”

Speaking of raising Bolo up, maybe the food is good, this big mouse is a bit bigger than when Lorenzo last saw it.

“One is domesticated like Bolo. The domestic rats live in delicate nests.”

……

After walking along the sewer for a long time, passing through a series of complicated corridors, Hercule pushed open a hidden door and climbed several stairs, and then a warm living room appeared in front of Lorenzo.

Lorenzo feels that they are more like termites than bad rats. They dug 1000 sores and 100 holes in the ground. Countless roads correspond to countless doors, like a maze. Maybe only a guy like Hercule can remember the route.

“Rat King’s safe house…one of them.”

Hercule said and put Bolo down. Little Brat ran happily around the house, but because the place was not big, he bumped along the way.

“There are prepared clothes in the closet. Change the wet clothes.”

Hercule then said to Lorenzo that this guy was really drenched.

Lorenzo nodded, then opened the closet on the side, but the contents made his facial expression a little complicated.

Different uniforms are hung up neatly, from workers’ clothes to doctors. Lorenzo even wonders if Hercule has any strange hobbies.

“That is just to deal with emergencies. For example, if it is exposed here, we can change into the clothes of a maintenance worker and escape. After all, this is the best way to integrate into the environment.”

Probably aware of Lorenzo’s eyes, Hercule explained in time.

Lorenzo didn’t say anything. He took out a plain grey shirt and put it on. Hercule took a blanket from another room and handed it to Lorenzo. The two sat on the sofa face to face. Bolo was still ramming in the cabin. Lorenzo looked at him. towards outside the window.

Lorenzo didn’t know where he was, but he could still see the towering Dun Ling Pagoda from here. The heavy rain was heavy and the oppressive clouds made it difficult to distinguish between day and night.

The rainy season in Old Turin is like this. It may be the catharsis of heaven to mortals, like the end of the day.

However, although it is fierce, the mature and complete sewer system in Old Turin’s underground will not cause any severe natural disasters.

“So, where do you start with your question?”

Hercule looked at Lorenzo on the other side, the room was not at all lit, and he could only rely on the suppressed light to see Lorenzo’s face clearly.

Lorenzo is like a confused child, all the previous anger and anger disappeared.

“Memory Palace… I want to learn that… I guess I must remember something, but I forgot, just like I don’t remember myself as 047… It must be hidden deep in my memory.”

Lorenzo’s words hesitated a bit, he firmly believed that he was 042, but when he was talking, he was still hesitant in the face of the indefeasible evidence.

“It’s better to talk about yourself than those.”

Hercule tried to help Lorenzo. Lorenzo told him a lot in the sewer before, but some of the more secret parts were hidden by Lorenzo. You must go to the Demon Hunter Order, such as the fake Holy Grail. In Hercule’s eyes, Lorenzo is now Patients with split personality.

“You said that you split a 047 personality… To be precise, that 047 personality split you, your personality named 042, and then 047 died. You think you are normal until now. “

Hercule tried to figure out the relationship, and then she was amazed.

“Your state is a bit like me when I was in a shipwreck, but I didn’t have a split personality, but became what I am now.

He immediately started nagging.

“Lorenzo, sometimes I am like you, a little bit confused.”

Lorenzo looked back from the window. He didn’t know why Hercule said that.

“I have read a lot of books, and they are still stored inside the magnificent palace in my mind. A few of them are really interesting. They talk about ourselves.

The meaning of being alive. “

“Then the answer?” Lorenzo asked.

“Pointless.”

Hercule spread his hands, expressing that he was also helpless.

“It can be seen between the lines that he is a pessimistic and negative but very intelligent guy. He said that everything is meaningless. Everyone is dying. Hercule of the last second is dead, and Hercule of the next second is alive. Came over and died again.

Just fall into a weird cycle until we can’t live anymore. “

Hercule laughed helplessly.

“There is indeed so much truth, he said that this World will eventually go to extinction, losing all the light and heat, and becoming everything that is cold.

The only meaningful thing is to find a fairly comfortable night, a moment that I think is interesting, and end my life in a relaxed way. “

“Is that author alive?”

“I don’t know, who knows?”

Hercule nestled comfortably, and Bolo was crazy enough, jumping into his arms skillfully.

“But I just summed up one thing. People shouldn’t think about these strange philosophies. This will only trap ourselves. Then come back to me.

Think about Lorenzo carefully, do you think it is possible for humans to have such a memory? “

Hercule said seriously.

“Such power is beyond the’normality’ that we perceive. It is an’abnormal’. I sometimes wonder if there is such a possibility.”

“What is it possible?”

“The real Hercule is dead.”

Hercule still had the familiar expression, without the slightest fluctuation, as if what he had just said was just a very ordinary sentence.

“Yes, the previous Hercule didn’t have such a good memory, but now Hercule has built up the glory in the shadows with such power.”

He suppressed his smile and said solemnly.

“Perhaps the real me has died at sea long ago. Now the Hercule you know is just a monster that has invaded this body. It has a terrifying memory, but it remembers too many things. It is called Hercule. His memories overlapped, and he thought he lived till now.”

That voice had a weird power and turned into a whispering terror in this thunderstorm, but many Hercules let go of their seriousness and smiled again.

“Look, like this, the serious Hercule just died, and now the smiling Hercule is alive.

Every transformation of mankind can be regarded as a death and rebirth. The same is true for you, Lorenzo. Perhaps Florence’s 047 died, so Old Turin’s 042 came alive. “

“It doesn’t matter who I am, where I come from, what I want to do is important, right?”

Lorenzo slowly said, he knows this truth well, yes, it doesn’t matter who he is, whether it is 042 or 047, it doesn’t matter what he wants to do, but…but…

“But you always want to know the truth, don’t you? 047 obviously left important traces in your life. It is so important that you can’t even accept that this is just a split personality… What a beautiful memory that is, but now it’s just a fake Yes, everything between you and him is fake, just your imagination, even saying you…

You, 042, everything you think is false. How can you accept such a result? “

Hercule looked at the sad Lorenzo, then said lightly.

“You have the body of 047, but you think you are 042… Then talk about him.”

“Who?”

“The other self, or…047.”
