There will be a dark and trough moment in everyone's life. Some people sink and fall in it. Some people rise alone and climb out of the darkness. Others wait for help and that person kicks open the door to darkness.
, causing the light to shine in, making people stunned and unable to open their eyes.
The coldness in the room was no longer there, and Lorenzo's depressed mood was unexpectedly lifted a little by the light.
He looked at the blurry figure cut by the sunlight, his eyes slightly absent-minded.
Then……
"Wow! Close the door quickly! You're going to go blind!"
Lorenzo covered his eyes and screamed. The room was dark, and such a beam of light penetrated. After a brief period of confusion, Lorenzo felt that tears were about to overflow.
Under this bright light, Lorenzo was like an earthworm, rolling around on the sofa. He accidentally fell down and hit the corner of the table. After another scream, the water glass on the table fell.
It hit him on the head and spread all over him.
"It's hot!"
Unfortunately, the cup is filled with hot water.
Although he had a leg injury, Lorenzo's physical fitness was still good. He stood up on one leg like a carp, jumped twice in pain, tripped over the shotgun that fell from his arms, and fell down again.
He fell down and knocked over several chairs.
He was like a wild cat that strayed into the kitchen, jumping up and down, rattling pots and pans, and finally exhausted and fell to the ground, like a corpse.
"Are you...learning acrobatics?"
Seliu stood at the door, his expression looking very complicated.
"Please don't pay attention to me, just treat me as dead."
Lorenzo's voice sounded and he remained motionless.
The beautiful day ended like this, inexplicably. For a moment, Lorenzo felt sad. Although he didn't know what he was sad about, there was definitely nothing wrong with crying.
Seleu walked in and closed the door. Even she could not understand the current situation in front of her. She walked to Lorenzo and kicked him a few times. Lorenzo did not speak, but just let out a few meaningless moans.
.
Sighing, Seleu sat in Lorenzo's seat, crossed his legs, and looked at the "corpse" lying on the ground with interest.
Time passed by minute by second, neither of them spoke, and the room fell into silence, leaving only the sound of breathing.
I don't know how much time passed, but Seleu was too lazy to continue talking to Lorenzo and asked.
"Are you going to dry yourself before you get up?"
"No, I'm just thinking about life."
Lorenzo replied briefly without looking up.
The atmosphere became a little calmer again. Lorenzo turned his head slightly, took a peek, and then found Seleu standing next to him, looking condescending.
Lorenzo immediately turned his head back and shouted at the same time.
"I'm really thinking about life!"
Before he finished shouting, Lorenzo felt a pair of hands grabbing him, twisting his neck forcefully, and forcing him to raise his head.
Seleu knelt down next to Lorenzo and grabbed his head with a cold expression.
"stand up."
There was no emotion in her tone.
Lorenzo wanted to resist, but when he saw Seleu's cold look, he retracted all his words.
During this long holiday, not only others grew up, but also Seleu. As the duchess of the Stuart family and a new member of the nation-builders, this young ruler showed strong enough power, and in this way
Her temperament was also deeply engraved in her eyes, which actually made Lorenzo panic for a while.
Of course, Lorenzo's panic didn't end there.
He swallowed, climbed up from the ground in a panic, and sat down jumping up and down.
In fact, during his retirement, Lorenzo also thought about the relationship between him and Seleucid. However, unlike what many people expected, Lorenzo had some problems with his brain and always wasted his energy in some strange places.
Think about it, Lorenzo Holmes, a retired former demon hunter who has lost all his power. Now he is no different from an ordinary person. The only thing worthy of pride is that he is destined to be buried in the shadows.
Achievements.
Generally speaking, without any power, Lorenzo is now a real ordinary person, not to mention that his leg is injured.
What about Seleu?
Thinking of this, Lorenzo's heart skipped a beat.
The contemporary duchess of the Stuart family, a member of the new generation of nation-builders, the most powerful people in Old Dunling, and even the whole of Inverg, and her status as a nation-builder can bring this influence
Expanded to a global level.
With a wave of his hand, three hundred swordsmen rushed out to clear the way for Seliu. With a casual gesture, she could sell the entire street, not to mention that she was Lorenzo's personal disciple.
It's not ambiguous when framed.
Lorenzo stepped back warily and grabbed the blanket to protect himself.
"What are you doing?" Seleu looked at Lorenzo and felt inexplicable, "Are you stupid at home?"
"Nothing, nothing."
Lorenzo shook his head quickly and swallowed.
After thinking carefully, he realized that if Seleu used rough hands to him, Lorenzo really couldn't beat her.
It's over, it's all over.
Thinking of this, Lorenzo felt a burst of sadness and anger in his heart. The dignified demon hunter ended up like this...
"Are you thinking about some random things again?"
Seeing Lorenzo's gradually twitching expression, Seleu guessed this easily.
"No, no...but why are you here?"
Lorenzo retorted repeatedly, and then remembered Seleu who shouldn't be here.
Seliu has many identities, each of which holds heavy authority. She is a very busy person. She attends different meetings all day long. A casual sentence can determine the fate of thousands of people.
A big shot like her is always busy, so to be here in Lorenzo's place is nothing short of a miracle.
"On rest days, I also have a holiday."
Seliu said and sat down aside, watching Lorenzo show a strange smile, which made Lorenzo tremble all over.
"That……"
Lorenzo was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
"Lorenzo, how are you doing lately?"
Seleu didn't wait for Lorenzo to say anything. She always knew this guy well, and it would already be dark by the time he said anything useful.
"It's not bad, just a little boring." Lorenzo replied.
Life was indeed very boring, so boring that late at night, everything was so quiet that Lorenzo could hear his own heartbeat, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.
Thinking of this, Lorenzo suddenly felt a little sad. In fact, he didn't know why he was sad. In short, the emotion came up so inexplicably. His eyes were a little dull, and he stared at the window blankly, watching people come.
A crowded street.
"You look a lot more sentimental than before."
Seleu keenly noticed the change in Lorenzo's expression and commented sharply.
"Probably... maybe I am suitable too."
Lorenzo's voice was confused.
"No, no, this is not an adjustment. I think you are changing back to yourself."
"Become yourself again?"
Lorenzo didn't understand what Seleu was talking about, he was Lorenzo, always had been.
"Well, I mean you as an ordinary person," Seliu said. "The demons turned you into a demon hunter. Now that they have disappeared, you have also relieved yourself of your responsibilities and become the 'mortal' you are now.
...In other words, if there were no demons, your current appearance would be your original appearance."
"It's probably a return to the original intention... So Lorenzo, are you originally such a funny character?"
Recalling Lorenzo's acrobatic actions when he entered the house, Seleu couldn't help but smile.
"I don't know, but I always feel uncomfortable when you say that."
Lorenzo replied, but his mind couldn't stop thinking.
Without the pressure from the outside world, Lorenzo completely relaxed and lived the life he wanted, peaceful and tranquil, with no worries about food or clothing...
He seemed to have really been beaten back to his original shape, but he had never noticed it. Now that Seliu had pointed it out, he felt a sudden realization.
"It seems that not everyone is born with a bitter and resentful look..."
Lorenzo sighed.
He has become a mortal, which sounds bad and not too good, but compared to the past, he obviously likes the present better.
"What about you? How does it feel to have such a heavy responsibility?" Lorenzo asked.
"It's a bit bad. A bunch of people I don't know come to see me every day. Endless meetings, a few short sentences, a few lines, and a signature can decide the fate of many people."
Seliu's voice was a bit melancholy.
"What's worse is that they also...have some evil intentions."
"Planning something evil?"
Lorenzo was very happy. It was hard to imagine what kind of people would dare to plot evil against Seleucus.
"It's different from the hacking and killing you think. Their intentions are evil. They want to marry me home. Once they marry me... it will be an unimaginable wealth."
Hearing this, Lorenzo, who picked up the water glass, paused, looked at Seleu with side eyes, and drank the water silently.
"This is even more tiring than negotiating. There will always be some inexplicable people who come to court you, just like flies, you can't drive them away. You may not believe it, but I came to you secretly.
Once discovered by those guys, there will be a bunch of flattering invitations to have afternoon tea or something like that.”
Seliu looked extremely distressed, and even she was not good at dealing with such things.
"So I have another purpose for coming here this time."
"ah?"
Lorenzo trembled and felt something was wrong.
"I think I need a male companion to help these guys leave in a good mood."
"Yeah, yeah."
Lorenzo nodded repeatedly in agreement, but his instinct drove him to escape from this place as soon as possible. Unfortunately, his leg injury was not healed and he could not run far at all.
"So... I like you, Lorenzo Holmes, do you have any problem with that?"
Seleu smiled and showed his fangs, while Lorenzo continued to talk perfunctorily, not paying attention to the content of the conversation at all.
After a brief silence, the dull man realized.
"Hmm...huh?"
His gray-blue eyes were full of dullness and fear.
"ah?"
Lorenzo was stunned, and then a shrill shout rang out in the office.
