“Do humans really have that so-called…free will?”

Arthur’s voice was not high, but it was so clear that he didn’t seem to be just asking Lorenzo but also Anthony beside him.

This is a strange combination. Three people with different identities, different positions, and interests have nothing common with each other. Now for the overlapping purpose, they are discussing…philosophical things. A few minutes ago, The three nearly drew their swords and started fighting in the streets of Old Turin.

“In fact, apart from our various positions, we all have at least one goal, that is, we all want to figure out what Demon is, right?”

Arthur continued.

“Our cleansing agency has studied from a rational point of view for a long time, and we found that the erosion of Demon seems to be related to the so-called spirit, and this information you also know Lorenzo.

They did an interesting experiment, probably an experiment extended from’conditioned reflex’. This thing is called’operating conditioned reflex’. They kept a mouse in a box completely free from external interference. , Train it to press the red button to get food.

But as the experiment progressed, they made the feedback of pressing the button longer. Perhaps a dozen times of pressing would only give out one food. In this case, the mouse gave up these and it no longer presses the button, but it can When the distribution of food began immediately, the results of the experiment changed. The mouse did not know how many times the pressure was applied before the food appeared. It might be several times, or dozens of times and 100 times, but this time it did not give up. It is to continue pressing the button persistently. “

Excluding the heavy rain and the roar of Iron Snake, at this moment, only Arthur’s voice is left in Iron Snake. He whispered about the weird experiment. Lorenzo is still expressionless, and Anthony is somewhat curious. Look, in Florence, who is named after faith, the so-called reason is heresy.

“The results of the experiment are very interesting. Each time the mouse presses the button, it is a kind of reinforcement. It constantly strengthens the belief that’as long as you press it, there will be food’. The mouse has no wisdom, and some are just instinct. The power to complete the conflict with instinct is attributed to instinct…

Mr. Lorenzo Holmes, don’t you think this is very similar to us humans? “

Inside the enclosed Iron Snake, the air became dull and suppressed. It seemed that since Arthur told the experiment, the three of them became rats in the box and were trapped in it.

“Why do we do so many stupid things, knowing that we won’t be rewarded, but still sticking to it meaninglessly?”

Anthony’s expression also became serious. As the current Order’s Reverend, he knew very well that the so-called belief was just a tool to control the lower-level ignorance, but in Arthur’s story, he heard something different.

“Yeah, in fact, this thing can also be changed. We have become mice in the box. From time to time, iron spears will fall from the box to kill other mice. We are very scared, but as long as we keep pressing the red button Button, the iron spear will not fall.

In fact, it shouldn’t be called a button anymore at this time. It should be distinguished in more detail. The action we press is pilgrimage, and the call of zhi zhi is to recite the holy text. Just look at the name “God ‘Button, the iron spear will not fall…”

Dead silence, there was only dead silence in the carriage. No one understood that Arthur would interpret the so-called “belief” in this way, but after listening to this experiment, not only Lorenzo, but even Anthony had no rebuttal words.

This is too similar, and the similarity is frightening.

Isn’t that button a god to the mouse trapped in the box?

“Of course, the conclusion of this experiment is that humans have no free will. We are all trapped in boxes, affected by different things, even ourselves.

Do we really crave food? It is still said that the hunger of the body drives our actions, and the power and wealth… After all, we are all prisoners of boxes, controlled by different desires. “

Arthur said halfway, but smiled, and rejected everything before.

“But who knows this kind of thing? We have lived on this World for so long. We have to explore all the laws and regulations on our own, establish the known, and then recognize the boundary of the breakthrough. Overthrow everything before.”

This is the history of mankind, the establishment of the kingdom, the overthrow of the kingdom, the establishment of a new kingdom on top of the ruins of the kingdom, and the cycle of destruction and rebirth continues.

“Nice interpretation.”

Anthony said in the silence.

“I thought your faith would collapse.” Arthur said with a slight smile.

“how could be?”

Anthony said meaningfully.

Then his eyes fell on Lorenzo, who had been silent. This was an interesting story, Lorenzo said.

“So, do you justify yourself? Arthur.”

Sometimes people are so strange. Lorenzo can understand Arthur’s embarrassment. After all, he is under the control of Queen Victoria, but even if it is understood, it does not mean that Lorenzo will not be angry.

“No, this is not my excuse. I don’t need to excuse anything. In fact, this experiment is mainly for you, Lorenzo.”

Arthur finally pointed the finger at Lorenzo, his cloudy eyes reflected Lorenzo’s appearance, and then rolled up the chaotic storm, pulling Lorenzo’s appearance into chaos.

“I?”

“Star.”

Arthur asked precisely, as if he had seen Lorenzo through.

“That name, the name Lorenzo Holmes…” Arthur continued to explain the weird experiment, “Every time the mouse presses the button, it reinforces, strengthens this behavior, and increases the desire for the result.”

“Every time you say this name, is it not a cognitive enhancement for you? You are like self-hypnosis, making yourself a’Lorenzo Holmes’ instead of the so-called Medanzo, 047.”

“What do you want to say?”

The name is a wish, a belief, and Lorenzo is furious every time it is involved.

“You are not free, Lorenzo, you are always being affected, being affected by the pseudo-Holy Grail, just like a mouse in a box, it doesn’t even realize that it is ridiculous in the box.

Haven’t you noticed your weirdness yet? People can’t come back from the dead, nor can they manipulate the original sin armor in…the almost weird way. “

There was another long silence, and Lorenzo slowly said a long time later.

“You don’t trust me anymore, do you?”

“Perhaps, in fact, I have also begun to believe in the things Merlin often talks about, what… cursed knowledge, this thing is really damn, after learning this, I sometimes doubt everything that exists, and feel that everything is Untrustworthy, this has bothered me for a long time.

But who cares about this? “

Arthur showed an unsightly smile. In Lorenzo’s eyes, he was like a person who was locked in layers of chains, which were called Arthur, Phoenix Duke, and father.

No, it’s not just Arthur. Everyone is bound by different chains. They are so heavy that it makes it difficult for the person who bears them to walk. Now the chains are wrapped around Lorenzo, pressing him almost out of breath.

“I suspect that you are affected by the erosion of the pseudo-Holy Grail, and the so-called Lorenzo Holmes is the reason. Under the influence of the pseudo-Holy Grail, it has been distorting your perception, making you from 047 to that 042 that doesn’t exist, the so-called Lorenzo Holmes.”

Anthony intervened in the conversation. As Lorenzo’s opponent, he didn’t have the hesitation that Arthur had before, and he said coldly.

“And the pseudo-Holy Grail is gradually eating away at people around you, Lorenzo.”

Lorenzo is keenly aware of the uneasiness. This is Anthony’s purpose. What damn experiments or strange stories were used to pave the way for all this now.

The script for this hunt has long been set, and Lorenzo is forced to march on it, and it is difficult to find a breathing space for resistance.

Killing those innocents and Queen’s orders are not what really made Arthur so tough. What really made Arthur like this was his own threat, or what Moriarty cheated…

“You also saw your roommate, he was eroded… by you,” Anthony said.

“But you didn’t even see him just now, why do you know this?”

Lorenzo looked at Anthony. When the Demon Hunter people came, he left Higgs in the alley. Anthony had never seen Higgs. How could he be sure of Higgs’ status?

But Lorenzo soon felt ridiculous for his slowness. This was not a war of words at the negotiating table, but a premeditated hunt. Anthony must have his own reasonable rhetoric.

“Because we were eyeing your roommate before that, he was corroded, and according to the data of the cleansing agency, Cork Street did not corrode in the past few days. Only you, the pseudo-Holy Grail Unknowable erosion, maybe we are shrouded by your erosion now, maybe.

Higgs was eroded and fell into madness. He killed all the members of the mutual aid association and the poor psychiatrist… The cleansing agency detected the anomaly of erosion and decided to contain you urgently after handling the Whitechapel. “

Facing Anthony, Lorenzo was not surprised. This was what Moriarty did. Presumably where he caught a bad luck ghost to replace him and fell into suspended animation inside. As long as he continues to hide in the dark, Lorenzo It is impossible to prove this. After all, in the eyes of the cleansing agency, “Moriarty” does not exist. Even if there was a man named Moriarty, he would have already died in the Whitechapel.

“Emergency containment? All the Demon Hunter people, and even the original sin armor…I even thought you were going to start a local war in Old Turin.”

Lorenzo thinks Anthony’s words are ridiculous. The cleansing agency has a quick response team to deal with emergencies, but they can’t block the whole block in such a short time. There is only Lorenzo on the street and the enemies.

“Because Joey was eroded by you too, Lorenzo.” Arthur slowly said.

Lorenzo startled, and then some can’t believe it.

“what did you say?”

“Joey, he was detected for erosion a few days ago, but he has been staying in Old Turin recently, garrisoning a stronghold, he has not touched any Demon, and has not been pulled by the perpetual motion pump for any experiment, and he was determined by us. For your contact, the thing he usually contacts most and closest to Demon is you.

Joey is the top Knight of the cleansing agency. After spiritual specialization, although he is not as good as the Knight Commanders, he also has a certain resistance to erosion, but in this way, he is still eroded. At the core of the cleansing agency, Old Turin inside . “

Arthur muttered the invisible fear softly.

“The pseudo-Holy Grail is corrupting the people around you using you as a source.”

In an instant, countless invisible hands grabbed Lorenzo, constricted his limbs, and strangled his throat. The new Order planned all this long, long ago, and now all the conspiracies overlap. , Created the status quo today.

Say what? Untrustworthy for the new order? Lorenzo felt this kind of excuses pale and weak, and at this time Anthony continued to chase, the hideous scar slowly twisted with the peristalsis of the muscles, like a centipede that had come alive.

Anthony looked at Lorenzo with a smile, confiding devilish words.

“Is this not enough to prove? Or do you want to see more’proof’?”

evidence……

It was a sense of powerlessness, self-blame, and anger.

Gray-blue eyes tightly locked Anthony’s face inside the abyss-like pupils. Lorenzo knew very well that Anthony’s words were threats and provocations.

Moriarty is hiding in the dark. As long as Lorenzo continues to resist him, he will create one “evidence” one after another. This is Lorenzo’s dereliction of duty. He is too proud of himself. After killing Lawrence, he thought he could more or less Live a normal human life, with seemingly normal social interactions, but he is a fire, a fire burning in the darkness of death. His light illuminates the people around and makes the people whom Lorenzo loves to be terrifying weird. Find.

Those who know…

The time has come to decide whether to pull up a folding knife and kill everyone, then flee from here, or just step into the conspiracy of the new Order inside to keep those people alive.

Is it incarnation to be a person or to be a monster?

The dull air almost condensed into heavy leadstone, which filled Iron Snake’s carriage. It squeezed everyone wantonly, and the atmosphere was extremely suppressed.

“I accept… I accept your containment, Arthur.”

Under the extreme pressure, the voice became fuzzy, but after hearing this, Arthur took a long breath and exhaled all the muddy air in his lungs. He really felt the murderous aura that just reached the extreme, it seemed In the next second, Lorenzo will ignite the rising pure flame, desperate to start a war in this Old Turin, but what he didn’t expect is that such a rebellious Lorenzo, when he bows his head, he accepts it. But then he said again.

“Father Anthony.”

The voice sounded.

“You are my enemy, Father Anthony.”

The voice was calm, without the slightest fluctuation, nor violent. If you didn’t listen carefully, it would even be obscured by the roar of Iron Snake and the sound of rain.

This should be a cruel word that threatened others, but it was so common to be said so, and people didn’t care, and then the voice rang again.

Arthur looked towards Lorenzo, as if someone was holding his heart for an instant, and the emotion called fear spread to his body along the ups and downs of the heart.

Lorenzo is normal, his expression is calm and there is no slightest anger, just as before, his eyes are cold, but this time Arthur feels a little familiarity, at that moment he suddenly remembered how he looked when he first saw Lorenzo.

In fact, Arthur met Lorenzo as early as 7 years ago. During the red river tragedy, it was an unforgettable scene. River Thames was dyed red, and the limbs and internal organs rose up and down with the turbulent flow. Some of them even rushed to the streets, and the gangs raging in the lower city district were all eliminated, and Burlau’s empire was ordered to rise here and take full control of the lower city district.

Arthur saw Lorenzo in the information provided by Burlau. On a black and white photo, if it weren’t for Burlau’s plea at the time, Arthur was going to kill Lorenzo, but in the time he was in contact with Lorenzo, Arthur gradually forgot The thoughts at the time, and now he suddenly remembered.

Thinking back then why he wanted to kill Lorenzo.

At that time, Phoenix Duke was “Arthur”, leading the cleansing agency to fight Demon. When he saw Lorenzo, he suddenly had a strange illusion that the people in the photos were so normal, but Arthur could just follow In it, he felt nameless violence and anger, as if he would penetrate the shackles of the photo with his sword in the next second and kill everyone with his sword…

That’s a person like Demon, no, it’s a person like Demon to be precise.

“You are my enemies.”

Demon’s eyes were hollow, as if looking at the unknown nothingness.

“New Order.”

The bright light pierced the rain curtain, and the armor-covered Iron Snake swiftly advanced along the railroad tracks, toward the continuous black silhouette behind the rain curtain.
