Chapter 106 Keep your sense

  The doorbell at 121A Cork Street rang again, and Mrs. Van Lud opened the door, looked at the smiling man and hesitated for a while, then asked.

   "Lorenzo?"

  Joy nodded, and Mrs. Van Lud let her way. Seeing the man walking up the stairs from the back, she couldn't help feeling that Lorenzo had finally expanded his social circle after so many years.

   Yesterday’s pursuit caused a certain degree of riots, but under the control of the public opinion of the decontamination agency, this was turned into a pursuit of the fugitive.

The demon was forced into the steam well by Lancelot, and then the pipe was broken by Lancelot’s slash, and the hot steam overflowed violently. Everyone judged that it should have died under the high temperature, but the scavengers followed. During the cleaning, they failed to find the corpse. They went deep into the steam well, but found nothing.

  This is another suspicion. Judging from the reform index, the demon is indeed dead, but no one has found its body.

Knocked on the door, Joey pushed it away and walked into it. He was assigned to take charge of Lorenzo’s connection with the decontamination agency. Originally, this job was a shrike, but he was really busy managing the interest disputes in the entire Xiacheng District. There is no spare time to trouble Lorenzo.

  The air in the room had a faint smell of tobacco. Lorenzo was lying on the sofa by the window, and there were still unextinguished cigarette butts in the ashtray.

  He didn't seem to notice Joey's arrival, but stared out the window blankly. The frost of winter covered the window and blurred his vision.

   "Mr. Holmes, this is the final report of this case. If you are sure that it is correct, you will archive it."

  Joy took out a document and put it on the low table in front of Lorenzo, and then sat opposite Lorenzo.

Although he has been in contact with Lorenzo for less than a few days, Joey seems to have become accustomed to all of Lorenzo. This detective is full of unreasonable nature from beginning to end. Sometimes he is like a purposeless Wild dogs, even if they are running wildly in the wind, will show their tongues and laugh, but sometimes wild beasts will grow sharp fangs and will never waver in order to kill demons.

  This is an uncontrollable man, you can hardly guess what he will do next.

  But Joey still likes to guess, guessing what he will do. In his opinion, being able to guess the trajectory of such a person is almost the same as winning a big prize.

After a while, Lorenzo seemed to wake up from a daze. He looked at Joey and then at the file in front of him. In Joey's opinion, he should talk to himself first, and then look through the file, but Lorenzo really exceeded his guess.

  I saw Lorenzo wrapped her blanket tightly, and then picked up a bottle of wine from the sofa.

  "Warm up with a bite?"

  "……"

   "Oh, really hell, the heating pipes on Cork Street broke because of aging after I came back yesterday, and the maintenance workers didn't repair them overnight. Now the whole street has no heating. I almost froze to death in the night."

  Lorenzo picked up the bottle and took a sip while thinking about it.

   "Ah, that dead old lady, don't let me go to sleep on the first floor, it's so warm as the fireplace..."

  Joy nodded with a smile as much as possible. Indeed, he came in from the outside, and the temperature difference was not big without his attention. Listening to Lorenzo now, I feel that the indoor temperature is indeed very low.

   "Then Mr. Lorenzo, please take a look at the follow-up to yesterday's case. If it is correct, we are ready to file and close the case."

  Lorenzo reached out and picked up the document, and asked curiously before turning two pages.

   "If you ask me what's the use, I'm not the one who cleans up organs."

   "But you are an experienced demon hunter, and you are also involved in the hunt."

  This is the truth, the cleansing agency's understanding of the demon hunter is still too simple. Even if Ed's corpse is obtained, the dissection and analysis are only amplifying the mystery.

  The power of the demon hunter is too unique. Under the blessing of the secret blood, he has the power and senses far beyond ordinary people, not to mention the mysterious power named after the angel.

  Lorenzo did not continue to say anything. Arthur was always full of curiosity about the power of the Demon Hunter. It would be unusual if the cleaning agency's attitude towards him became cold.

   "In other words, do you attribute all the murders to it? This is true."

  Lorenzo wanted to ask something, but he found the answer for himself before he could ask.

It was written in that document that before yesterday’s tragedy, similar cases occurred in different places in Old Dunling. Cruel killings and **** revenge, these can basically be attributed to the hand of the demon yesterday, but Lorenzo There are still some things that I don't understand.

  "This monster has not taken action for the first time. The first case was that he killed a gang member in a small city half a month ago. The last time was yesterday. The deceased was just a worker."

  Lorenzo noticed a little abnormality. He put the bottle aside, staring at the document tightly, pieced together the different words, and a complicated and confusing story slowly unfolded.

"what happened?"

  Joy couldn't help but secretly delighted in Lorenzo's gradually serious expression, and as expected, he could find more information in this demon hunter.

   "I think you have also found out the inside of the cleansing mechanism. The hunting target of this monster is a bit strange."

   Lorenzo said.

   "Strange? But... But aren't demons like wild beasts, don't they have any rules?"

  Joy didn’t understand. The monsters seemed to him to be a group of corrupted creatures, monsters from nowhere, trying to impact the existing stable rule of mankind, and killing when they saw living creatures was their instinct.

   "No, beasts also have a pattern."

  Lorenzo directly denied his words, and then took out the old Dunling map from the cabinet and unfolded it before his eyes.

"This is the location where it first appeared, the chaotic Xiacheng District, here will be a perfect hunting ground, but it did not stay again, and kept going deep into the old Dunling, even saying that the last hunt was on the other side. The fringe zone."

  "If a beast is to feed or kill, it shouldn’t leave the Xiacheng District... It is purposeful, for **** revenge."

  Lorenzo suddenly realized the location of the information gap between him and Joey. He looked at the heavily labeled man and asked seriously.

   "Joy, have you ever encountered a sensible monster in the cleansing mechanism?"

   "A sane monster?"

  Joy was surprised by Lorenzo’s questioning. The demons are a group of disorderly beasts, but why are they called sensible?

  He didn't answer Lorenzo's words for a while, but he didn't need to answer. Lorenzo had already read the result from his surprised expression.

   "The sensible monster, what do you mean...?"

  Lorenzo thought for a while, tried his best to organize the knowledge in his mind, and told it in a way he could understand, then he slowly explained to Joey.

   "A sane monster can maintain a certain sane under demonization... to put it another way..."

  Lorenzo shook his head. Joey didn't know the story of the Demon Hunter, nor did he need to know it so deeply.

  "You can understand the so-called sensible demon as unstable, which will be completely eroded at any time, is not controlled by any insurance equipment, and drives a violent body to act with weak reason.

  The Demon Hunter. "
