  Chapter 111 The Same Kind

  Sacrifice oneself, or kill others to save more people...In fact, this is a problem that is difficult to come to, and there are dialectics of hypocrisy everywhere.

  Lorenzo stared at Merlin quietly. He felt that he had underestimated the mysterious alchemist, and what he wanted to express was much heavier than Lorenzo thought.

"I’m not saying you have to sacrifice yourself, Mr. Holmes. What I hope is that you make your own decisions, whether it’s killing others, sacrificing yourself, or not taking any consequences. I I don’t care, what I care about is your own decision, what you will do."

  Merlin vetoed Lorenzo's words, and all this is more like a moral debate than a question.

  In fact, by slightly replacing all these words, Merlin's meaning is very clear.

Whether Lorenzo will make a decision for all mankind lying on the rails, either ignore that the train of demons runs over mercilessly, or sacrifice others to block the erosion of demons, or say that he is on the rails , Fight with the demon to the last moment.

  For the sake of mankind, in order to keep away from demons forever, can Lorenzo break away from the shackles of morality, and even his own shackles.

  Lorenzo took a deep breath, he found the conversation interesting, and then said.

   "I will push that hapless guy onto the rails."

   "You mean you survive by yourself and sacrifice others, right?"

  The train whizzed past, and Lorenzo pushed the unlucky ghost down, bloody.

  The man was innocent, he did nothing wrong, the only thing wrong was because he was by Lorenzo, so he died.

  But his death saved the remaining human beings and slowed the train of demons to a halt, but is this really the case? Why is he dead, why must he be sacrificed? No one asked his opinion, he just died.

  Ethically speaking, Lorenzo killed the person, and he made the decision for that person's fate.

  Lorenzo nodded firmly, Merlin at one end looked a little confused, he asked.

"Sacrifice others to make yourself alive. To be honest, Mr. Holmes, such a choice is difficult to make people feel that you are a trustworthy person, but I think you also have reasons for making this choice, so to speak. Listen?"

   "It's simple, because I am more valuable."

  Lorenzo's tone was extremely cold, and at this moment he was talking very seriously with Merlin.

   "Since it is destined to sacrifice a person, then it is up to the value to decide. I live and that person dies."

   "Then why do you think your value is higher than him?"

   "Because I can make a decision."

  Lorenzo said again, he looked at Merlin and smiled disdainfully.

"Whether it is you or Arthur, or even those high-levels who are hidden behind you, if you put you in this question, you are also the one who pushed people off the track, and the one who was pushed off the track can be a shrike. , Or Lancelot."

   "In the final analysis, all this requires someone to make a decision, and someone needs to experience the pain and sin of the decision. I think I am more suitable to make a decision than to sacrifice myself."

   "Decisive, cold, and ruthless, people who make decisions are like that, without any emotions. The so-called life is just a number. In order to pursue the greatest profit, use the least sacrifices in exchange for the survival of the largest part of the people."

   "So I need to survive. Only people like me can indifferently push one innocent person on the railroad track to maintain the continuation of mankind and the silence of the demons."

  Lorenzo seemed to recall something, and then sneered.

   "Rather than a passionate leader sacrificing himself one by one, it sounds great, but it's stupid."

  Long silence.

  The silent and quiet Rather slowly clapped his hands, the emotions in his eyes seemed like appreciation, but more of them seemed to see the same kind.

  Merlin spoke, sounding like sharp metals rubbing against each other.

   "Very evil answer, it sounds like the villain in the story, but in fact this is the real reality, absolute reason, making absolute choices."

  The hoarse laughter was like a group of crows whispering mourning, crying for the corpse lying on the railroad tracks.

   "There are many times that just things can't bring good results, but many times sin can bring the greatest justice."

   "You are like an evil conspirator now, with a chilling voice."

  Lorenzo answered.

"But aren't you the same? The only difference between us is that in front of the rails, we are full of people, like you said, shrike, kestrel, Galahad, Lancelot, etc. Wait, they are all victims who can be pushed down."

  Merlin’s hollow eyes were like a cage, and Lorenzo’s appearance was reflected in the darkness, as if he was trapped in the darkness.

"But Mr. Holmes, you are different. There is no one beside you standing next to the railroad tracks. You are the only one. You have no other way to go except to face the train bravely. "

  "And this is where our difference lies. As you said, we are a group of evil decision-makers who hold the life and death of others behind the scenes, and you...you are the only one."

  Lorenzoshu unfolded his body, his expression gradually melted, and the corners of his mouth raised.

   "So you are asking this after so much trouble?"

   "It's just a little curious, and can make me better judge what kind of person you are."

  Merlin looked directly at Lorenzo. His hollow eyes made it difficult for Lorenzo to judge whether he was looking at him or not. It was unspeakable and uneasy.

"how do you feel."

"not bad."

  After looking at each other for a long time, Merlin said again.

  "What do you think Arthur, although you don't like him, he is indeed the same as us."

  Merlin is very confident in his own views, no matter how bad or crazy people are, there is something that binds them after all, and for this group of people, this thing is unexpectedly consistent.

  Demon.

  As long as there are the same interests and goals, trust can naturally be relied on.

Arthur did not speak, but just nodded faintly, so Merlin lifted a box from under the table. The solid cast iron looked very heavy, but under Merlin's somewhat sick body, it was lifted very easily. , And then the buckle opened, and a faint air of air gushed from the gap in the box.

  "In the past half month, it has not only been the activity of demons, but a new type of hallucinogen has become popular in Xiacheng, and there are some special products among these new hallucinogens. I think you can try it out."

  Merlin said, rushed into the box and took out a hallucinogen. The tiny drops of water condensed on the surface, and then Merlin swiped it across the table.

  Lorenzo reached out to pick it up, the texture of the glass was extremely cold, and he didn't know why this kind of thing should be placed in the freezer.

   is no stranger to the hallucinogen Lorenzo. This thing circulates very seriously in Xiacheng, and several official rectifications are difficult to be effective. It is even said that this thing has become popular in the circle of the upper-class aristocracy in Old Dunling.

  In the fight with Sabo, Lorenzo accidentally ingested hallucinogens. It was a hellish scene. Under the misleading hallucinations, it was difficult for a person to have normal judgment.

  Looking at the translucent liquid in the container, Lorenzo soon noticed something strange.

  This thing is different from ordinary hallucinogens. Lorenzo has an inexplicable sense of familiarity with it. Without waiting for Merlin to say anything, Lorenzo directly turned on the hallucinogen and ingested a little.

   There was a faint astringency, and then after a few seconds Lorenzo felt his brain start to become dizzy, and not only that, his body became hot, and then the alarm bell rang.

The Geiger index began to rise, and there was the sound of metal rubbing in the darkness, as if iron scales were rubbing each other, but before anything happened, Arthur raised his hand toward the darkness, and then the sound slowly fell silent, together with that The alarm bell disappeared together.

  He quietly watched Lorenzo's changes, but under the table he couldn't help picking up the revolver.

  About five minutes later, Lorenzo raised his head again, cold sweat swept across his forehead, his eyes filled with coldness.

   "I think I know why you are so vigilant."

   Merlin smiled slightly when he saw Lorenzo’s reaction, it seemed that his speculation was correct.

  "We don’t know how long this thing has been in circulation. It seems that the so-called hallucinogens are just a cover for this thing, and then you can see the effect. This thing is somewhat..."

   Arthur said solemnly, destroying the underground palace and blocking the epidemic doctors were actually for these reasons. Some people are using Jiu Dunling as the experimental field, and the cleansing agency does not know who he is.

   "Like a secret blood, I can feel it, to be precise, there is a very rare inferior secret blood mixed in this hallucinogen."

   is really a terrible secret, Lorenzo looked at the two people across the round table and said coldly.

   "Someone is trying to recreate the secret blood technique, and obviously he has already achieved something. Although it is not refined by the sect, it can be stably demonized to a certain extent..."

Lorenzo suddenly remembered everything he had encountered before, and everything made sense. The secret blood that demonized Sabo might have come from this, and the murderer of the massacre can basically be determined as a person who can also stabilize the demonization. NS.

"That's why we are looking for you. Obviously, our tracing is in the same direction. We were the first to discover this hallucinogen mixed with secret blood. It circulates in the old Dunling in a very small amount. We didn't know it at first. What it is is also affirmed under your certainty."

   "That is to say, there is an unknown organization that has achieved the re-enactment of the secret blood, and it is still in the old spirit."

  Lorenzo interrupted Arthur, with a look in his eyes, "What are you doing to clean up institutions?"

   Arthur did not look at Lorenzo's provocative gaze as much as possible, and then said.

"We don’t know. The situation is very chaotic now. You can see that our peeper system can’t find those people. Only when they are demonized can we find out. But there is a time difference between the discovery and the arrival at the scene. We are almost always Pounced for nothing."

"But sometimes there are exceptions. The instability you mentioned can basically be confirmed. We hunted a demon before. According to what you said, he has lost his stability and cannot be transformed back into a human. It's hard to find any clues."

  The intelligence of the two groups of people was merged together, revealing a hideous face after the fog.

  Lorenzo was silent and did not speak. After a long time, he spoke, but did not answer Arthur's words. Instead, he whispered, as if he was convincing himself.

   "No one can recreate the secret blood, no one can do..."

  That is a taboo from "Revelation". Even the evangelical church has spent endless time tame this fierce beast, let alone other people without this knowledge.

  No one can do this unless...

  Lorenzo could not help but return to the burning night.

  Holy Night, the surviving Ed, the inferior blood secret, the new pope, the newly formed Demon Hunting Order, the stagnant temple that began to connect...

  As if a storm came in his mind and shredded his thoughts, he knew very well that there was a vague connection between these broken things, but Lorenzo couldn't connect them, he couldn't do it.

  Everything stopped for an instant, Lorenzo stared at the front blankly. I don't know when another seated next to Arthur, Watson was there smiling at him.

   So the only answer appeared in Lorenzo's mind.

  Not only I survived, not only Ed was spared, but many others escaped from the home of Qiqiu, many people, many people...

  So another way of thinking, only the gospel church masters the blood secret technology, is it possible that there are still people making chaos in that burning night?

  Yes, Shenglin Night itself is the flashpoint of a huge conspiracy, so it is not impossible for a scholar with blood secret technology in his mind to escape, right?

  The source of the secret blood in the old Dunling, the mysterious person behind Ed, and the lost sacred coffin.

  At the end of the Ende Town operation, all the demons were eliminated, but only the sacred coffin that everyone had never seen before disappeared...

  It seems that there is a big net covering the whole old Dunling, and Lorenzo feels that his breathing has never been heavier.

   "So what do you want me to do?"

  Lorenzo seemed to be talking to Arthur, and he seemed to be asking Watson beside him.

  So he replied.

   "We want to hire you to serve in the cleansing agency, just like you are an external detective in Su Yalan Hall."

   Arthur said slowly, putting aside those **** private grievances, Lorenzo was one of the few experts in the old Dun Ling in hunting monsters.

  "These are documents about these incidents. After you leave, Joey will help you with the next formalities..."

  "Don’t you ask me if I agree?"

  At the critical moment, Lorenzo suddenly asked ignorantly, but this time Arthur was uncharacteristically lifeless, he just said lightly.

  "Mr. Holmes, you are of the same kind as us, and the only long-cherished wish is a monster."

   looked at him blankly.

   "Even if I don't invite you, you will chase them to the end of the world, won't you?"

  Lorenzo accepted the file slid from the round table, opened the first page, and then smiled.

   "Is this the code name of the whole case?"

   "Yes, the most active monster is the one you chased before. If our guess is correct, he should not be dead yet."

   "Cruel killing, **** handwriting...These are his characteristics."

   "So it's called the study of blood characters?"

"Any questions?"

"fine."

  Lorenzo looked at the file and spoke slowly.

   "I like this name."
