It has been a month since that terrible rainstorm. The huge machine of Old Turin was shut down for a few days and started to operate again for a long time. The stove ignited again, and the machinery in the factory pushed the assembly line, hot water vapor With the dust rising into the sky again, everything is as usual, nothing has changed.

After a month, people still mentioned that rainstorm from time to time, and some strange stories derived from it were broadcast on the radio, such as rainstorm monsters, but people smiled at each other. There is no monster in this world. It’s all people’s fantasy.

In the eyes of the citizens, it was just a rare rainstorm, and they knew nothing about the hidden war that took place under that heavy rain.

The world is still like that, harmonious and beautiful. Everyone plays a fixed role, doing their own things. Some people are eager to live, and some are eager to die.

People coming, people going in Old Turin Central Railway Station, the warm light falls through the dome, dyeing the place with a layer of gold, like a splendid palace.

No one knows how long this sunny day will last, but everyone’s face is smiling when bathed in this precious sunshine.

Mrs. Van Lourdes slowly sat down on the bench next to the platform with her luggage. She checked her watch, and it was still some time before her train arrived.

She didn’t look very good, with a lack of blood on her face, as if she had experienced a tired event, and took all her efforts.

As she said to Lorenzo at that time, she was optimistic about a small town far away from Old Turin and was going to spend the rest of her life there with her savings. This would be a good time, where there are sparsely populated and always sunny.

Mrs. Van Lourdes thought about beautiful things, but she couldn’t laugh anymore, and she had no expectations.

“Then, I will send you here.”

There was a voice from the other side, and Burlau walked to Madame Van Lourdes with the rest of his luggage. He did not sit down, as if in a hurry, he was anxious to leave.

“Well, thank you, Burlau? I remember that name, right.” Madame Van Lourdes looked at Burlau, then asked.

Madame Van Lourdes knows Burlau, but the relationship between the two is not close. He came for Lorenzo. If it weren’t for Lorenzo, Burlau would never show up here.

“Yes.”

“I remember your appearance in this line is very important. I wrote down your look. There will be no accidents, right?” Mrs. Van Lude cracked a joke.

“How is it possible? After all, as the’landlord’, you have helped me a lot, and we will never meet again after today. Maybe you will die in a few years.”

In order to deal with Lorenzo, a stranger, Burlau casually threw him to Mrs. Van Lourdes 7 years ago. He himself didn’t expect that so many things would happen later, which was completely beyond imagination.

“Oh? Really? I don’t think there is any so-called’retirement’ in your business.” Madame Van Lourdes surprised.

Mrs. Van Lourdes does not know the inside story of all this. She does not even know the existence of Demon. In her opinion, Burlau is a gang boss in the lower city district and manages some mobs. Although Lorenzo claims to be a detective, it is mostly a service. Dark killer.

Most people may not be afraid, but Mrs. Van Lourdes, who was an empty ranger, doesn’t care about this, she finds it interesting.

“It’s just that you didn’t expect you to come and see me personally. After all, you are… the gang boss?”

“Probably so.” Burlau replied.

“Is it Lorenzo’s entrustment? Or a will and so on. This guy has never been missing for more than half a month. Even if he is missing for more than this long, he will leave a note in advance… I just cracked a joke, didn’t Expect that guy really thought I would throw out his stuff.”

Mrs. Van Lourdes said with a little nostalgia that it was only a threat of cracking a joke, but Lorenzo actually took it seriously. Every time the “business trip” was longer, he would leave a note and a month’s rent. .

“But this time this guy didn’t keep notes or rent. He was missing for a month. Is he dead? It stands to reason. He has been in your business for so long and can live safely for so long. Are you lucky?”

Mrs. Van Lourdes looked through everything. In her opinion, Lorenzo, as a killer, failed in a certain action after all, was penetrated by a stray bullet and died on the side of the road like a wild dog.

This conjecture deviates from the real situation, but after thinking about it, there is not much difference.

“I don’t know, it may be dead or not. After all, we haven’t found his body yet.” Burlau replied.

“Did it happen in that rainstorm?”

“En.”

“It’s really bad, maybe his body was washed away by the river, and he was sinking in a seabed to feed fish. The rain was really heavy.”

Obviously it is a serious matter, but the two people talked about it leisurely.

“What about Higgs?”

Mrs. Van Lourdes asked again.

Burlau fell silent. He remembered Lorenzo’s roommate and the arrest that took place in front of 121A Cork Street.

According to the records of Black Mountain Hospital, Higgs was eroded. In the subsequent recovery of the body, the scavengers confirmed the identity of the body, and Higgs was alienated into Demon.

Looking at Madame Van Lourdes’s old cheeks, Burlau, who was indifferent, suddenly hesitated.

How could he say it like this? Whether or not all of this involves Demon’s intelligence.

He couldn’t help feeling tangled in his heart. If it weren’t for Lorenzo, Burlau really didn’t want to be here, but he couldn’t help it. Maybe the old man knew some information about Lorenzo’s disappearance, but at the moment she seemed to be a complete outsider. Do not know at all.

“I am not sure.”

“So?”

“Then I should go, goodbye.”

Burlau nodded to Mrs. Van Lourdes, he didn’t want to ask anything else, he just wanted to leave here as soon as possible. He didn’t know what happened between the landlord and the tenant, he just felt that the atmosphere made him feel extremely tortured .

Mrs. Van Lourdes did not say anything. In fact, she had a premonition as early as the heavy rain, the abnormal Higgs, the serious Lorenzo, she wanted to ask what happened, but after the two people left the house, there was nothing. come back.

Although she was very old, she was not stupid. She waited for a month and no one came back. As if she had accepted all this, Madame Van Lourdes just wanted to leave the city as soon as possible.

I have thought about the separation, but she didn’t expect it to be in this way, so abrupt, and even 1 month later did she realize that they had already separated.

The melodious whistle sounded from the end of the horizon, and at the same time footsteps sounded, the man came over and sat on the bench, leaning against Mrs. Van Lourdes.

She turned her head and looked at the somewhat nasty face.

“You are not dead.”

“I almost died. Fortunately, I am strong, you say yes.”

Lorenzo smiled at her and showed off his muscles as he spoke, but his arm was wrapped in clothes and he couldn’t see anything.

“So what happened this month.”

Mrs. Van Lourdes was not surprised by Lorenzo’s appearance. On the contrary, she was still a little bit lost. In her opinion, Lorenzo might appear in a very cool way. After all, this is in line with his somewhat narcissistic character, but this His appearance was so mediocre, it was a negative point.

“Quite a lot, killed some damn guys, then went out for a walk, relax, and think about life.”

Lorenzo said, remembering something suddenly, and asked.

“So are you going to retire?”

“You are a detective, don’t ask such stupid questions, can you?” Mrs. Van Lourdes said unceremoniously.

Lorenzo was a little embarrassed, indeed, he just didn’t know what to say, so he pulled something useless.

He returned to 121A Cork Street early in the morning, but the door was locked there, the furniture in the room was covered with a dust-proof white cloth, and Mrs. Van Lourdes’s clothes disappeared.

Lorenzo chased here naturally, and then found her who was about to leave. Mrs. Van Lourdes had mentioned the plan afterwards, and Lorenzo was very clear.

“So how was the month you were missing?”

Mrs. Van Lourdes asked again.

Lorenzo fell silent, hesitated, but finally laughed awkwardly and said helplessly.

“It sucks.”

Mrs. Van Lourdes no longer said anything, and the usual conversations between the two people are full of nonsense and funny elements, just like comedians on stage, they talk about some boring things together.

But this time, none of them can laugh. Everyone knows something bad, but no one wants to say it. This seems to be a terrifying wish. If it is said, this terrifying wish will become a reality.

“So, what about Higgs?”

Finally, Madame Van Lourdes asked.

The train appeared at the end of the horizon, braving the raging steam, and it began to slow down, leaning against the platform of the station.

“Back to the place he always wanted, the small town by the sea, because he was so happy, he didn’t have time to say hello to you, so he bought a ticket and left.”

Lorenzo lit a cigarette for himself, talking nonsense.

“Is he happy?”

“I am not sure.”

“Is home far away?”

“It looks a little far away, so far you may never see him again.”

“How did he die.”

“I don’t want to recall these.”

The atmosphere fell into silence, and under the warm sunshine, it was like an ice cellar.

After that rainstorm, Lorenzo found his true self and his true authority. During this long month, he did a lot of things, including the use of power Gabriel.

This is a wonderful power, generally speaking, power needs to be triggered by the targeted guidance of the alchemy matrix on the Demon Hunter person’s body, but the power·Gabriel is different, Lorenzo clearly carries the alchemy matrix oriented to the power·Medanzo, but he still Can use this mysterious power.

This is a different power, a power that has been deliberately forgotten. Lorenzo needs to slowly dig into the knowledge of it. With the help of this power, Lorenzo relies on [Gap] to shuttle and invade cleansing with no difficulty. Inside the agency, I also got a series of information about this later.

“Sorry, I took the trouble home.”

After a while, Lorenzo whispered.

Although he has not said it, Lorenzo cherishes this part of life. He can be a part of an “ordinary person” and live like an ordinary person. There is a weird landlord and a strange roommate who will eat supper together from time to time. Sections.

Lorenzo cherishes these, so he never takes any trouble home. This is his first mistake and the last.

“What are you talking about, Mrs. Van Lourdes, whether it’s cursing or reprimanding, say something.”

Lorenzo had no emotional ups and downs anymore, and squeezed his palms tightly, tightening the cigarette butt that had not been extinguished, and a faint pain flashed past.

“I’m sorry, sorry…”

“In the final analysis, I am still a human being. No matter what kind of power I have, I still can’t change the nature of my heart. I am a fragile human being. I can isolate the emotion as much as possible from this thing, because it makes me vulnerable. But as you said, after living together for so long, even a dog has more or less feelings.”

Lorenzo muttered thinly, like an old woman of a mother-in-law.

This feeling is really bad. He can endure the scorching heat of the fire and the slashing of the sword, but the pain from the heart makes him extremely unbearable.

“Then did you kill him?”

“Who?”

“The culprit.”

Lorenzo’s mind recalled Moriarty’s appearance, in [Gap] inside, the guy who was still crazy until death came.

“Well, I killed him,” Lorenzo replied. “Unfortunately, I didn’t make that guy feel more painful…but for that kind of person, torturing him would be boring.”

“So are you hiding from me this month?”

“That’s right… one of various reasons.”

Madame Van Lourdes did not look at Lorenzo, her gaze kept staring ahead, but there was nothing there.

“I am going to take care of it. Actually I wanted to leave the house for you and Higgs.”

“En.”

It seems that they really don’t know what to say, and the two of them said nothing.

Lorenzo really couldn’t bear the depression, he took a deep breath, took out a document bag from his arms and handed it to Mrs. Van Lourdes.

“what is this.”

“It’s… some of my farewell gifts.”

Lorenzo thought about what to say, he has always been a glib tongue guy, but now he is talking dry.

“Actually, I was preparing for this when you mentioned the pension to me at the time, but didn’t expect to give it to you in this way. I thought it would be happier, such as pulling a banner and so on. .”

“You also know that I’m working in a high-risk industry, but the industry returns quite a lot, plus the money I saved in some weird ways when I worked… The orphanage I had been sponsoring closed down.”

Lorenzo said as happy as possible.

“Ai, Old Turin, the real estate in this ghost place is really expensive. Those nuns won’t be able to run it anymore. It won’t be long before the churches there will be scrapped and factories will be built… For people like me, money is nothing. The practical significance, so I took out my savings and so on to help them move the orphanage to a small town.

So in name, I am still a dean, with a few nuns and a dozen children under my hand. “

Lorenzo said that he felt unfathomable mystery. This kind of thing didn’t work with him at all.

“People always need to rely on something to survive. I won’t talk about what I live on. Anyway, they are all bad things, but you are different, Mrs. Van Lourdes, you are so old. Children, no husband…you need relatives.”

Lorenzo paused in the middle of speaking, this kind of thing is really difficult, he wanted to say a few more sorry, but he put it back in his mouth.

“With your personality, you shouldn’t like the monotonous retirement life, right, for you, it’s just waiting to die, so I think you can become the dean and so on for me.

A lot of children need care and love…it’s just full of descendants. “

Lorenzo said bad things, but this time he laughed like Madame Van Lourdes does not raise.

The train stopped in front of the platform, thick steam gushing out, and people inside the mist leaned toward the train, carrying their luggage to different distances.

Mrs. Van Lourdes was sighed, and she took the bag of documents Lorenzo handed her.

“Thank you.” Lorenzo said.

She picked up her luggage and stood up, but did not rush to leave, looking towards the endless sky behind the glass dome.

“It’s a pity that I still couldn’t get on the airship. I really want to touch the sky again.”

“Do you mean the Reichenbach?”

“En.”

“In fact, that thing was blown up by me, all split up and in pieces, and it fell on the ridge.”

I don’t know if Lorenzo is serious or cracking a joke, but it seems that there are more ingredients in cracking a joke.

She knows this guy well. Whenever there is something sad, this guy likes to crack a joke and talk bad words, trying to dispel the sadness a little, but this time they are like a torrent, Lorenzo’s bad words are meaningless.

Madam Van Lourdes did not look at Lorenzo again. She picked up her luggage and moved towards the train, and left in silence.

“Will you hate me? Madame Van Lourdes.”

Lorenzo looked at her back and asked suddenly.

Madame Van Lourdes stopped, and it took a long time before she slowly turned around and gave Lorenzo one last look.

“Just like you said, everyone is human and emotional. After living together for so long, I can’t hate you even if I want to hate you.”

“I don’t hate you, Lorenzo Holmes, I just…I just don’t want to see you again.”

Lorenzo lowered his head, like a child being trained.

“The key is in the mailbox.”

With the last words in the wind, Lorenzo raised his head abruptly, but could only see a pale mist and the closed car door.

The train slowly left Old Turin and disappeared below the horizon. Only Lorenzo was left on the platform. The wind blew the discarded newspapers and looked desolate under the brilliant sunlight.
