It is still the familiar and cold world. Under the broken ice fields is the surging dark blue. The huge full moon is halfway above the horizon. You can clearly see the Milky Way running through the night sky, followed by the howling of the cold wind.
Hammering everything.
Everything here seems to be an artist's painting, but a bench and the person on the bench suddenly appeared.
As if he had had an extremely long dream, Lorenzo woke up leisurely and looked at everything that was somewhat familiar.
He didn't know how long he had slept, and a thin layer of snowflakes had accumulated on his clothes, but he didn't feel very cold. In front of his field of vision, a familiar man had his back to him, as if he was waiting for something.
"Good morning!"
He turned his head and smiled with a face that was somewhat similar to Lorenzo's.
"Mei... Danzo?"
Lorenzo covered his head with a headache. It seemed that he was back here again, at the end of the connection, that weird spiritual world, or a place called [The Gap].
In the deepest part of the world corroded by demons and the deepest part connected with darkness, there is this unknown and strange spiritual world.
"Did you drag me here?"
Lorenzo tried to ask, remembering that the first time he arrived here, it was Metanzo who was secretly causing trouble.
"No, you were involved this time. I am also curious about what you are doing. Your connection with this place reached its maximum in an instant, and then you fell into the [gap]."
Lorenzo was a little surprised when he heard what he said.
"You mean I got here on my own."
Medanzo nodded and then said to him.
"Lorenzo, you have forgotten a lot of things. In fact, you are more complicated than you think."
There was a deep meaning in those similar eyes, as if he was hiding something, something that Lorenzo had almost forgotten, but then Medanzo waved his hand and motioned for Lorenzo to come over.
Lorenzo also stood up slowly on the bench. He tried to recall how he arrived here, but unlike the first time, his memory became very blurry, like a dream, broken and blurred.
He struggled hard, and the vague memories gradually became clear. He remembered that he stepped into the armor, and then arrived here... It was the original sin armor that made him arrive here.
"Does that damn thing still have this effect?"
Lorenzo remembered Tesla's warning that everyone's first time driving armor was accompanied by extremely unstable risks. No one knew what would happen, so it seemed that this was the risk Lorenzo encountered.
Lorenzo walked slowly to Medanzo's side. Just as he was about to say something, his eyes were caught by the things in front of him. Lorenzo looked at the things in front of him in a daze, in disbelief.
The originally intact ice sheet tends to crumble, and fissures several meters deep appear on it like huge wounds, extending to the end of the field of vision like a spider web. Dark blue seawater surges between the gaps, and the dark
Deeper there was the metallic sound of chains rubbing against each other.
[The Gap] is changing. Lorenzo still remembers what it was like when he first came here, but now it seems to be collapsing.
"She is coming."
Suddenly Metanzo said, and before Lorenzo could react, the ice surface in front of him completely shattered, and the surging seawater mixed with the broken ice slag, and the chains danced wildly, bringing with it a biting cold wind.
A bone-chilling cold fell, creating stunning shadows in the night sky, and then another familiar guest appeared next to Lorenzo. Watson smiled slightly and looked at the two of them cordially.
"You know, I learned about a surgery that could destroy my nerves, and maybe that could trap her completely."
Lorenzo didn't panic too much. For some reason, he always felt that everything was under control as long as Metanzo was by his side, even if Metanzo was just an echoing ghost now.
"No, she is no longer an enemy, Lorenzo."
No one expected that Metanzo would say this.
"What do you mean?"
Lorenzo looked at Metanzo with some uneasiness. In Lorenzo's creed, Watson, as the pseudo-Holy Grail, even took precedence over the threat of Dean Lawrence.
"It's a gift from the devil, what do you think?"
Watson's voice sounded, but she clearly didn't open her mouth, but the voice echoed so ethereal.
She just looked at Lorenzo. He couldn't help but step back slowly and looked at Medanzo and Watson warily. What Lorenzo was most worried about happened. He would not trap Watson forever. She was
That cunning devil, that heavy ice-field has broken into pieces, and even Metanzo is leaning towards her.
"Relax Lorenzo, we are actually on the same front now. She is a threat to us, but...she is also our ally."
Already anticipating Lorenzo's vigilance, Medanzo tried to steady Lorenzo.
"You'd better make it clear, Metazo. It depends on whether I should shoot myself in the head and take everyone to death after I wake up, or whether I should do something else and relax."
Lorenzo said seriously that he had wanted to commit suicide more than once to end this damn and absurd life, but he was still unsure about the characteristics of the pseudo-Holy Grail. The Evangelical Church had produced this imitation of the Holy Grail, but it was not
People know its nature, and it is even said that it erupted on the Night of Advent before they could even test its characteristics.
No one knows whether Lorenzo's death can put an end to this spread, just like no one knows whether the concept of demons will really completely collapse after killing the Holy Grail. All of this comes from the fact that it has never been confirmed.
His words are just stubborn persistence.
"You are still like this Lorenzo. You know very well that you cannot die. Your mission has not been accomplished yet."
Medanzo said leisurely, he knew Lorenzo too well, he still had a lot of things to do, and he would never die easily after achieving these things.
"I thought about it for a long time after you left last time. I was thinking about what [the gap] is, how this weird world exists in this world... and even how I survive.
.”
Medanzo said and looked at Watson.
"Just like her, is she the person we once knew, or is she a demon in skin?"
"demon!"
Lorenzo snapped.
"But what am I, Lorenzo?"
Metanzo then asked rhetorically.
"What is the difference between me and Watson? We are both dead, but we are alive in your mind, living in this weird [gap]. In fact, Watson and I are the same... It's just that
There is a slight difference, but can this completely distinguish us?"
Lorenzo was in a daze. He wanted to say something to rebut him but couldn't.
"Look, Lorenzo, your thinking is still stuck in the ignorance of the church. Put aside the so-called gods completely and think with absolute reason!"
Medanzo said again.
But after a long pause, Lorenzo's voice sounded again.
"So is this the reason why Watson appeared in front of me? You let her go, you made her reappear...Have you forgotten how much we paid for it?"
Lorenzo was angry about this.
"I paid the price, Lorenzo!"
Medanzo said in a shocked voice, which he always did, shocking his mind, but then he did not continue speaking, but said quietly after a short silence.
"It looks like I've taken over your mind, Lorenzo."
Lorenzo stared at Metanzo, and after he arrived at the [Gap], Watson, whom he had almost forgotten, appeared.
He initially thought that this was Watson breaking free from the shackles of the demon over time as he reconnected with him, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case. There was the assistance of Metanzo, the man who killed the dragon, but in the end he was assisting
Evil dragon.
"Then let's calm down among ourselves first."
Lorenzo said slowly after thinking for a long time. He kept a safe distance. This feeling was terrible, as if no one could be trusted.
But he still looked at Medanzo with some reluctance, as if he didn't want to believe that this would happen, and he said.
"Give me a reason, Metanzo, a reason I can accept."
Medanzo couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lorenzo was still talking, and he said.
"This is because you should have discovered the weirdness of this place after you left last time. Whether it is me or Watson, we are all trapped here..."
"What do you want to say?"
Lorenzo asked, but as his words fell, the whole world changed.
The ice sheet was completely broken, and the dark blue water poured out from the gap and swallowed everything. Lorenzo could only hold on to the ice floe at his feet tightly, and then rolled in the turbulent waves, but just as he was about to be swept up by the surge
When the waves crashed down, everything fell silent again, as if an extreme low temperature passed by, and the ferocious roaring sea was frozen.
Just like a random stroke by an artist, the entire world of oil painting is thrown into chaos.
"This... is a world controlled by us."
Metanzo's voice sounded again. Unlike Lorenzo's embarrassment, his position did not change at all, as if he was protected by an unknown force. Neither the tide nor the broken ice could disturb him.
"A world we control?"
Lorenzo climbed up from the ice. This is the [Gap], the [Gap] with the deepest connection to darkness. How could it be a world controlled by Lorenzo?
"Yes, this is your shortcoming Lorenzo, you are too angry, so angry that you never try to think about the devil."
"Thinking about them? I think the meaning of their existence is to be killed and eradicated completely!"
Lorenzo said angrily.
"So you are blinded by anger, and you don't realize what a great wealth is around you."
Medanzo said with some distress, Lorenzo is a smart man, but smart people sometimes get blinded by a leaf.
"We have never understood the demons from beginning to end, because of their strange erosion, their extremely aggressive nature, and their inability to speak human words."
Medanzo once again displays his off-kilter sense of humor.
"But didn't you notice, Lorenzo?"
He looked at Watson beside him.
"We are surrounded by the first demon who can communicate normally without caring about erosion. She is an imitation of the Holy Grail, a man-made natural disaster, and our best friend ever."
A faint smile appeared on Watson's familiar face, just like before.
"I should have thought of it earlier."
Medanzo said to Watson.
"You are making a deal with the devil! Making a deal with the devil!"
Lorenzo still seems to be unable to accept it. He is extremely resistant to Watson, just like he witnessed the burning of the Cathedral of San Naro. The fire that night has not been extinguished and is still burning in his heart.
"But aren't we demon hunters ourselves descended from demons? Lorenzo, some wrong decisions can bring about right results."
Metanzo asked again.
Then Medanzo seemed to have figured something out. Words are never the best way to convince someone, only letting him see it with his own eyes is the best way, he said to Watson.
"Show him."
"you sure?"
"This is a great opportunity."
Watson nodded.
"Okay, but you have to remember, this all comes at a price."
Just like a transaction, no contract or signature is required, everything is only reached through words.
Lorenzo looked at them, as if something was about to happen. He stepped on the ice floes that were frozen and splashed. Under the unknown force, it was like an ice jungle. He broke one after another.
The ice formed by sea water is still a step too slow.
It's an indescribable feeling, as if your brain has been opened in an instant, and all the closed barriers are shattered in an instant, and finally the real world is revealed.
It was as if there was a sword blade far beyond the cognitive dimension. It was cut down in an instant and split open the whole world. Lorenzo could not express the scene at this moment in words. A huge black crack appeared in his field of vision. It was not a kind of
The fixed scars seem to act directly on the entire space, and they look the same no matter which angle you look at them.
A gap was cut out in [Gap], and the cage of confinement was opened.
"Medanzo, you are crazy!"
Lorenzo roared, as expected, no matter how stubborn the demon hunter is, he will go crazy if he is locked up with a demon for a long time, not to mention that she is still the false Holy Grail, and she is also the person that Metanzo misses, so he should not believe him, just like
As Metanzo said, he is dead, and he is no longer the Metanzo.
After smashing into the clumps of ice, Lorenzo staggered towards the two of them. He raised his fist violently, but Metanzo grabbed it and was unable to move down even half a inch.
"Be sensible, Lorenzo."
Medanzo didn't even look at him, he just looked at the crack that cut across the world, and there seemed to be something in the deep darkness.
"Lorenzo, what do you think [the gap] is?"
At this time, Medanzo was still answering questions calmly.
"I just think you're trying to let her go!"
"She won't leave. Actually, haven't you thought about it? Lorenzo, the erosion is mutual. When you feel the oppression of the demon, the erosion of the demon is also integrated into your will... just like now."
Metanzo let go of his hand, and just as he said, Watson didn't make any unnecessary moves from beginning to end, just watching Lorenzo venting the anger that had been accumulated for a long time.
"Look there, Lorenzo, and you will understand."
At this moment, Metanzo finally showed his power. He held down Lorenzo's head and forced him to look there. His movements were as skillful as he had done to Lorenzo many times before.
Lorenzo was still struggling a little at first, but soon his struggle stopped, and his anger towards the demon gradually subsided. He looked rationally into the dark crack, whether it was out of fear of the unknown or confusion, Lorenzo
Zuo felt that his blood had turned cold.
"what is that?"
he asked.
"【gap】."
"【gap】?"
Medanzo said firmly again.
"That's right... [gap], another [gap]."
After looking at the deep darkness, Medanzo said with some joy.
"Congratulations Lorenzo, we are one step closer to the truth about the demon."
After the crack in the darkness, outside this [gap], there is endless darkness, but in this darkness there are faint starlights, and close to the [gap] where Lorenzo and others are.
