Ember Gun

  Chapter 110 Difficulties

  In the quiet space, countless bookshelves surround the huge round table. Lorenzo is sitting on one side, and Arthur and Merlin are sitting on the far side. The distance between each other seems inaccessible.

  The nasal cavity is full of stale taste, telling the long history here, like the silent singing of a bard, confiding words.

  Lorenzo slowly leaned back in the chair, feeling a little surprised and a little shocked.

Alchemy, this is a vocabulary that has almost disappeared in the long river of history. It is the most secret wisdom of the old age. Every alchemist clings to his knowledge and records them in the cursed parchment with a complicated code book. As a result, no one can understand these after they die, so the glorious alchemy gradually disappears due to the changes of the times and the stubbornness of the alchemists.

  Now this technology is only faintly mentioned in some folk legends, and there are not many people in the world who really understand it.

  But now a living alchemist is sitting in front of him, he is still the technical chief of the perpetual pump.

  Lorenzo had already put away his contempt, his face was dignified, he was too aware of the value of an alchemist.

   "In other words, the person who really wants to see me...is you?"

  Merlin nodded, and a hoarse voice sounded.

   "To be precise, it is for your inference. Joey has repeated your thoughts. We think this is a possibility."

  Possibility, this is something Lorenzo talked to Joey when he was in 121A Cork Street.

  According to Joey, during this period of time, there have been demons in the old town, and judging from the trajectory of actions, it can be clearly determined that the demons are rational.

The Geiger counter cannot detect the demon's actions. It is just like Lorenzo. As long as the secret blood is calmed down, it will not have any demon's corrosiveness. In other words, the demon who has been acting may be a hunter. Devil.

At that time, Lorenzo and Joey thought of this. This is not a trivial matter. Lorenzo's power alone can tell the overall demon hunter's combat effectiveness, and after Lancelot's pursuit, everyone judges that. The demon was dead, but follow-up reports from the scavengers indicated that they had not found the demon's body in the steam well.

So is there a possibility that it is the demon hunter who has been torturing and killing, and only the demon hunter can escape the monitoring of the peeper system, and only the demon hunter can withstand so many attacks without dying, even in the steam He didn't die in the well, he just calmed down the secret blood and left from another place.

  An unknown demon hunter appeared in Old Dunling, combined with the new pope of the gospel church, and the news of the rebuilding of the demon hunter, it was chilling.

   "It's just a possibility."

  Lorenzo said affirmatively.

   "That thing is not a demon hunter, at least it will not be a demon hunter in the order of the demon hunter."

   "Do you have any internal methods to judge your identity?"

   Arthur asked slowly.

   "It's not a method of judgment, but the demon hunter is almost dead. Even if there are survivors, they will hide themselves, instead of doing **** revenge and killing."

   Lorenzo confessed that he thought he was the last demon hunter after Saint's Night, but he was obviously not the only one who was so lucky.

   "What's more, if it is really a demon hunter, he will not do such a torture. Within the cult, we have many methods to torture heretics. If we just want to make a person feel pain, there is no need to do that."

  The Demon Hunting Order is never a glorious and sacred place. In order to reach the purpose that it wants, the deep dungeon is full of people's corpses.

  Arthur was silent. He did not continue to ask Lorenzo about the Demon Hunter. He also knew very well that Lorenzo would not say anything related to the Night of the Holy Prophet.

   "So if it's not a demon hunter, is it possible that someone can control demonization to a certain extent?"

  The silent Merlin spoke, and Lorenzo turned his gaze to him with a cold expression.

"It's basically impossible. The demon hunter is essentially a group of people who can freely control the demonization, but in order to achieve this level, the Gospel Church has conducted hundreds of years of experiments to stabilize the secret blood, let alone implantation. Silver Bolt and Alchemy Matrix and other technologies."

Some people say that a sharp weapon can be used to infer the prosperity of a country. This principle is no exception when used in Lorenzo. It is just that the secrets displayed by the demon hunter at this moment are like the deep blue sea. , Can't see the deep bottom of the gospel church at all.

   "But there are exceptions."

  Lorenzo said again.

  For a moment, he suddenly thought of a man, the desperado who killed his life in order to survive.

Lorenzo seldom impressed a person. Sabo was one of them. It was hard for him to remember his appearance, but the blood-stained mask would always appear in his mind, accompanied by the vicious words, as if he was cursing. The same in the whole world.

   "I have won everything in life, but it's just a little bit, just a little bit..."

  Lorenzo shuddered involuntarily.

  The deformed dwarf possesses willpower beyond ordinary people's imagination, and even the inferior secret blood cannot completely swallow it in order to survive.

   Even the blood secret ritual originating from the Demon Hunting Order would be unsustainable by many people, but Sabo managed it, but after all, he could not resist the erosion, and losing his sanity was only a matter of time.

   "Perhaps... a degraded demon hunter?"

  Lorenzo thought for a while, he thought it would be faster to use such words to describe it.

"What's the meaning?"

   Arthur asked, and Merlin said slowly.

   "You mean, it can also calm the demonization, just like controlling secret blood?"

  "Complete control is impossible, even the cult can't do it. I think it can be controlled to a certain extent, but it will definitely deteriorate a lot compared to the Demon Hunter, such as stability, overall strength, and so on."

   "Then it looks like someone is secretly trying to recreate the blood secret technique of the Demon Hunter."

   "This is obvious, even you have made such an attempt to eliminate organs, right?"

Lorenzo thought of Eve. He didn't know where the weak secret blood in Eve came from at first, but when he realized that Arthur was the Duke of Phoenix, all this was explained clearly. Long ago, Eve also stepped into the secret center of the cleansing organ, but she had forgotten it.

The secret of the cleansing mechanism is not much less than that of the Demon Hunting Order. He even said that because he did not understand the whole picture of the cleansing mechanism, Lorenzo felt a heck of crisis at this moment. Maybe a group of original sin armors would break into the door in the next second. , I studied frozen sections.

Speaking of this, the atmosphere has been silent. In fact, Lorenzo said this deliberately, also to test whether Eve’s secret blood is really related to the cleansing mechanism. From the silent two people, the situation is basically the same as that of Loren. Zuo Guai is about the same.

  No wonder your father loves you so much. It turns out that you were also a monster before.

  Lorenzo whispered in his heart, suddenly a little wanting to laugh, Eve is like this, and Seleu is the same, he found that the people who came with him are basically not normal people, is this the attraction between the freaks?

  But these things passed in his mind for a while, he didn't dare to say it, after all, Arthur had wanted to kill him more than once.

   "Alchemy...Perhaps alchemy can make up for that vacancy."

  Merlin's hoarse voice sounded again, interrupting Lorenzo's train running in his mind.

   "Alchemy?"

Lorenzo didn’t understand this almost lost technique very much. He was positioned as a warrior and a guard in the Demon Hunting Order. He was the hand that held the sword, and the hand that held the sword didn’t need to know how the sword was made. of.

   "The recent incident is not just the activity of demons..."

   "Merlin."

   Arthur suddenly interrupted Merlin in a deep voice, and the young but sick face turned towards Arthur, and he said slowly.

   "There is no need to hide anything, I believe in Mr. Holmes's character."

"Are you sure you know the behavioral style of this neurotic? I have a thick copy of his dark history here. If it is sent to Suyalan Hall, under Inervig's law, he will stay in prison until death, of course. He can live to be two hundred years old."

  Arthur can't worry about Lorenzo, who has a strong sense of hostility.

Lorenzo, who was on the side, didn't care, but looked at Merlin's eyes slightly changed, just like a little more sympathy for the same kind, after all, there are not many people with such vision nowadays.

   "Then change the subject, can Mr. Holmes allow me to ask you a few questions?"

Merlin looked at Lorenzo again. This seemed to be the first time that the two of them looked directly at each other. Merlin’s somewhat hollow eyes were reflected in the gray-blue eyes, and Lorenzo suddenly felt an unspeakable discomfort. Merlin's gaze was hollow like a dead person, it seemed that the soul under this body was no longer there, and now it was just a walking dead.

"What do you want to ask."

  Lorenzo swallowed, sitting upright.

   "Mr. Holmes, do you know the train problem?"

  Lorenzo was taken aback, as if he didn't expect it to be this kind of rotten street problem.

  "You mean a train is coming rumblingly, with five people on one side and one person on the other. Should we sacrifice one person or five people, right?"

  Melin nodded.

   "Then what should you do?"

  Lorenzo was silent for a moment, and then his body slightly leaned forward, like a beast ready to hunt.

  "In fact, this question is essentially whether we have the right to sacrifice the interests of a small number of people to protect the interests of the majority of people."

  His eyes become sharp.

  "It's like the elimination of institutions, like the hunting sect. In order to fight against demons, do we have to sacrifice a small number of people to save more people."

  Melin smiled and nodded.

"go on."

   "If I were to choose, of course I would kill one person and save five people."

  Lorenzo replied directly without thinking too much.

   "Why did you make this decision? Is it just because you can save more people?"

   Merlin asked, he squeezed his head, seldom interested.

   "The two evils are the lesser."

  Lorenzo simply replied, time seemed to be flying, the round table hall began to collapse, and finally returned to the desolate [Gap], the man smiled at Lorenzo.

  This is the principle he taught Lorenzo, and it is also the principle he insists on. Sometimes Lorenzo will feel that he is so similar to him, similar to Lorenzo like his shadow.

  The two evils, whichever is less.

  Merlin tasted this sentence, but at this moment Lorenzo who was opposite was out of thought, he asked.

  "Is this your problem? It's a bit too simple."

   “Indeed, many people just say that in reality, they will make different choices. Of course, some people are afraid of making choices... to be precise, they are afraid of the ‘guilt’ that they have to bear after making a choice.”

   "Don't tell me, there are six unlucky guys tied to the rails now, waiting for me to make a decision? This is too funny."

  Lorenzo's old face turned black. This cleansing mechanism is all insane.

  "Why, Mr. Holmes, we will not do such an inhumane thing, but because we cannot actually prove it, I hope you are serious enough to make a decision that comes from your heart."

  Merlin clasped her hands together and looked serious.

  Lorenzo also answered seriously.

   "Then this is my decision. Take the lesser of two evils."

  Merlin did not speak any more, but seemed to be caught in deep thought. After a long time, Lorenzo asked again.

   "So is this your problem? To be honest, there is nothing new."

  Merlin's deadly face slowly raised a smile, and he looked at Lorenzo.

  "Mr. Holmes, do you think I would be such a boring person? That's not the whole problem."

   "So there is a second problem?"

Lorenzo chuckled lightly. He is a firm-willed person. His body is a cage, and he is locked up with the demon. He must always be firm and strong. Only in this way can he suppress the will of the demon. In this way, the name of this body is Lorenzo Holmes, not John Watson or other **** names.

  He is Lorenzo Holmes, and always has been.

  I don’t know when it started, and the conversation became tense. Merlin breathed out lightly, and then slowly said.

"second question."

   "If five people are tied to a railroad track, there is only one railroad track."

Merlin added.

  In Lorenzo's eyes, he was already in the structured world. Five unlucky ghosts were tied to the rails, and a steam train slowly came with the melodious whistle.

   "There is no fork in the road, only you and another person are standing by the rails. There are only two ways to stop the train from running over."

  Lorenzo seemed to perceive a crisis, and then the world was constructed in Merlin's words, and a person appeared beside Lorenzo.

  Its appearance changes rapidly. It can be Eve, Seleu, or this boring Arthur. It can be anyone among all living beings.

   "Two ways, push the person beside you onto the track, the train will run over him first and then stop, so the five people are saved."

  Melin smiled like a sly fox.

"or……"

   "I will go up and sacrifice myself to perfect everyone, right?"

   Lorenzo said.

Thanks to the love warrior Wilde (I like this kind of id with its own stalks) for the reward, every penny of yours will become my rent, so that I will not be frozen to death in the cold winter in the northeast, and also thank you for the reward. Subscribed buddies
