Chapter 348 Silence

  Thick dark clouds rolled over the old Dunling. It was obviously daytime, but there was no light to penetrate the gloomy iron curtain, dragging the entire city and even the entire world into darkness.

  The entire operation of the old Dunling stopped today. The galloping wind and the harsh rain converged, and the old Dunling ushered in this suffocating and depressing storm amidst the thunder and lightning.

Under the violent storm and rain, there were no more traces of living people on the streets. Even the factory that kept going around day and night chose to rest at this moment. The voice of the host on the radio became intermittent, and the few words comforted the citizens. Let everyone enjoy this rare holiday.

Although the apocalyptic weather reverberated over the city, people did not feel scared, but rejoiced a lot. In this unexpected holiday, people and their families were sitting by the fireplace in the living room, listening to the whistling wind and enjoying it. The warmth of the family.

But this kind of warmth is not something everyone can have. In the heavy rain, a figure walks hard, and the rain is getting bigger and bigger, like a deadly storm. The majestic rain screen makes people feel drowning and suffocating. In this difficult environment, the figure arrived with difficulty in the shadow of a building, temporarily avoiding the cold rain curtain.

   "It's terrible..."

  Merlin panted heavily and sat down slowly against the wall. The once mysterious alchemist was completely drenched and looked embarrassed.

There was chaotic gunfire coming through the rain curtain, and there was the sound of monsters roaring faintly. Under the heavy rain, the entire Black Mountain Hospital was caught in the flames of war. Corrosion interfered with communication. The rain curtain blocked the view. Everything now looks terrible. No one knows what will happen next.

  But at least Merlin is temporarily safe for now. As Arthur gave the order, both he and Abigail evacuated in different ways to preserve their strength as much as possible.

Although Arthur was assured, Merlin’s evacuation method was really not safe and efficient. After lifting Lorenzo out of the birdcage, this sickly alchemist showed amazing power. He directly carried Lorenzo all the way out of the research area.

   may be the cause of the heavy rain, or it may be the reason that only two people have smaller goals. Meilin unexpectedly did not encounter a monster along the way. He originally thought that he could use this opportunity to re-acquaint himself with the swordsmanship he had not used for many years.

However, the return went smoothly. Judging from the fierce sound and the spreading erosion, this time the battle may be extremely tragic. Coupled with the current meteorological environment and the impact of erosion, Merlin needs to leave the affected area as soon as possible and mobilize force.

   looked at the torrential rain outside the shadow, and the whole world seemed to be dragged into the deep ocean.

  The Black Mountain Hospital is too big, and the heavy rain obscured the view. After running for so long, he was not sure how far he was from the border of the Black Mountain Hospital, let alone carrying a demon hunter who was overweight.

Lorenzo’s weight is much higher than normal due to the silver-binding bolt in his body. This makes Merlin, a scientific researcher, very difficult to carry, but it’s nothing. Instead, it reminds him of his apprenticeship. I didn't carry alchemy materials less, and the scene at that time was very similar to now.

  The teacher was holding a sword behind to fight other alchemists, and he ran all the way carrying precious alchemy materials.

  Merlin laughed when he thought about it. He never thought that he would recall the past in this way, and it was quite interesting to think about it.

  He relaxed and rested as much as possible. Now Merlin is not safe. He wants to take Lorenzo out of here as soon as possible. At this moment, the other man who fell against the wall finally reacted slightly.

Lorenzo slowly opened his eyes. Like Merlin, he was poured like a soup chicken, his light blond hair stuck to his face, as if he had just been picked up from the sea, and there was something from him. Judging from the confused and sad eyes, this guy should have jumped into the sea by himself.

   "Merlin..."

  Looking at the alchemist in front of him, Lorenzo looked confused. He remembered that he was in a birdcage at the time. As the machine started, he fell into the palace of memory for some reason.

  He looked around, some wondering what happened, why he was here, and what was going on with the embarrassed alchemist in front of him.

Lorenzo just wanted to say something. The memory flooded his thoughts once again. With the opening of the second door in the memory palace, Lorenzo recalled many things, those that he had forgotten for some reason. Things that make people feel scared and confused.

  But he hasn’t had time to think about it yet, there is extreme cold on the surface, and tearing pain in his mind.

  He seemed to be in pain, but even after being injected with Florund's medicine by Merlin, the medicine spread in the body, which relieved him a lot of pain and made him more awake.

   "Merlin, I remember, those monsters..."

  After a brief absence, even though Lorenzo remembered the important information and prepared to share it with Merlin, he didn't dare to continue speaking after he had just said it.

  Whether it is Shermans or Lorenzo Medici, they all mentioned a similar concept, the concept called [Border].

[Border] is like an exquisite and mysterious bird cage that exists in all human cognitions. Once someone realizes the existence of [Border] or discovers information outside of [Border], then they will attract weird silencers. .

  And the so-called silent one is the sealed [Holy Grail]. The blood of the Holy Grail and the flesh and blood of the Holy Grail are derived from the strange existence of the silent one.

Lorenzo was a little bit afraid to continue speaking. The battle in his memory was deeply frightening, but now that I think about it carefully, it was Lorenzo Medici’s conspiracy. He was going to be in that dry well. To meet the silent ones, for this he mobilized the Shangda Pian Demon Hunter, deliberately telling himself about the [Border], so as to attract the silent ones.

  So he can fill the whole dry well with the precious blood of the Holy Grail and complete the divine sublimation.

  But the old man died in the end, just like a certain dark fate that had long been doomed, the Silent One would kill him by all means, even if he had made so many preparations, and struggled vigorously against it.

  So...what about yourself?

  Lorenzo slowly lowered his head, his pale face reflected in the stagnant water.

  There is nothing wrong with memory, I am 042, I have always existed, but...but...why do they all call themselves 047?

Looking at the familiar face, Lorenzo couldn't help but laughed, but the laughter was filled with unspeakable fear and sadness. He seemed to know what it was because of, but he didn't dare to think about it anymore. I can only deliberately forget these and dare not face it.

   "Lorenzo!"

  Looking at the detective who was crying and laughing, Merlin suddenly shouted.

   "Be sober! Lorenzo, listen to me carefully!"

  Looking at Lorenzo waking up, Merlin no matter what he just wanted to say, he was ready to tell the results of his previous research.

   "Merlin... By the way, what's the matter?"

  Lorenzo recalled the weirdness of the status quo at this time, and at the same time he felt the erosion enveloped around him, the depression was terrible, as if he was in the battlefield of a certain monster.

  "Leave those alone and listen to me carefully."

Merlin interrupted Lorenzo once again, forcing him to look at him. Under those empty eyes, Lorenzo felt a little emotion on this strange body for the first time, and there was extreme excitement... …fear.

   "Do you remember the monster that got fever?"

   As if afraid that Lorenzo would forget, he added, “It’s the monster that got out of control in the pump of perpetual motion. The high temperature destroyed almost everything along the way.”

   Hearing him say this, Lorenzo thought of the monster, that strange monster.

If Lorenzo remembers correctly, the monster was a man named Horner before the alienation. He participated in the attack on Salicardo’s banquet and was subdued by Arthur. The perpetual pump wanted to attack him. Research, but for some unknown reason, the demonization suddenly intensified during the research, and then he became the fiery evil spirit.

   "Horner..."

  Lorenzo whispered this almost forgotten name, and he suddenly thought of the weird [Gap].

  If Lorenzo's mental state has a certain ups and downs, in addition to being resurrected in the black angel, it is also an extremely important node when killing Horner.

Lorenzo still remembers all that. At the end of the fight with the fiery evil spirit, Lorenzo seemed to step into Horner’s [Gap] and killed him there, mentally. He, then the fiery evil spirit died just like that, without breaking his heart or cutting off his head, just like that.

  After that, Lorenzo's consciousness fell into a faint, and Horner's memory flashed back and forth in his mind. Fortunately, Lorenzo gradually forgot it in the following time, and only remembered it when he mentioned it.

"what happened?"

   Lorenzo asked, the incident was a long time ago, and he did not understand what Merlin was doing at this time.

  Merlin’s words were full of excitement, but her face was still stiff and calm.

  "Don't you think that many of the properties of that monster...are similar?"

"like what?"

   "Power Michael."

The blazing fireworks were instantly released in Lorenzo's mind. In the impact of the extreme high temperature and heat wave, he seemed to see that face again. Ed was full of anger and waved the blazing sword, and launched the final towards Lorenzo. Offense.

  Not giving Lorenzo time to think at all, Merlin continued, he had never had the urgency before, this sensible alchemist was showing madness at this moment.

   "Lorenzo, I have always had a strange sense of fear, as if I was studying something terrible. In order to prevent other people from being affected by me, I studied it secretly for a long time.

You demon hunters will also have their own power after demonization, right, become a monster with power, but that Horner is different, he was originally just an ordinary person, because of the inferior secret blood out of control, he became a monster. It is said that he has not been guided by the alchemy matrix, nor has he undergone a stable enough secret blood implant, but his performance when he finally lost control is so similar to the power Michael. "

   Merlin continued to talk, eager to tell all the secrets hidden in her heart, as if he would die in the next second, and these secrets would die with him.

"I suddenly remembered what you said to me before. According to the records of "Revelation", the power of the demon hunter is to direct the secret blood through the alchemy matrix, so as to obtain that extraordinary authority. A single power is in the lead. It will cause erosion, and at the same time, the ability to guide a plurality of powers will directly alienate the target into a monster.

  The demon hunter and the monster are of the same origin, so is the power also the same? "

Lorenzo was stunned. For a moment, it seemed that another terrible secret was slowly unfolding before his eyes, a direction that no one had ever thought of. The [Border] has been restricting people’s exploration of those secrets. Until someone accidentally broke through its shackles.

"According to our collection of demon types for so many years by the cleansing agency, we can find that those strange demons are more or less similar to the powers of your demon hunters. There are those madly growing stomachs like red lines... plus the monster that burns out of control."

   "What on earth do you want to say."

  Lorenzo looked at Merlin. He somewhat understood why Merlin had to tell him this. The alchemist discovered a terrible secret, but no one except Lorenzo seemed to be able to bear the price of searching for this secret.

   "[Gap], what Lawrence can do [Gap] shuttle, if this is also a kind of power?" Merlin asked.

   "Gabriel..."

  Faced with Merlin’s words, Lorenzo said softly, an extremely cold wind blowing across their cheeks, as if a pair of icy invisible hands were touching them.

  Merlin's body trembled slightly, he didn't understand, and then asked.

   "What did you say? Lorenzo."

   "[Gap] Shuttle is a kind of power, named Gabriel." Lorenzo said.

   "You...Did you remember something?"

  Lorenzo nodded stiffly, and then he put his hand on Merlin's shoulder to warn Merlin.

   "You are right, Merlin, knowledge is cursed, you are about to reach the [boundary], don't continue..."

  He advised the alchemist in front of him, but then Lorenzo was terrified by his words.

Yes, this is why everything about this secret has not been handed down. Those who know are not only hunted down by the silent, but they themselves have refused to pass on this knowledge because it is a curse, knowing The more people there are, the more people will die. They are to protect the latecomers, so they erased all the knowledge related to [Border].

  So, are those who refuse to disclose secrets protecting us?

  Lorenzo felt an unspeakable irony for a while, but then Merlin said again.

   "No, no, Lorenzo, listen to me!"

  Merlin didn’t know the so-called [boundary]. He stared at Lorenzo closely, suppressing his emotions and growled.

   "If we say that the power of the demon hunter can be manifested in a specific way in the body of a demon, such as the fantasy of the night, such as the burning demon formed by Horner's alienation.

  So what about the so-called Power Gabriel?

  What kind of monster does this weird and terrifying power correspond to? "

Merlin discovered [Border]. He vaguely felt the weird fear and oppression. He wanted to transmit this information many times, but he was instinctively afraid, as if doing so would cause some kind of irreparable mistake. , He could only keep this backlog until he confided all this to Lorenzo.

  All the secret blood originated from that evil, from which all evils of all realms were born.

  This is what Merlin wanted to say to Lorenzo, and Lorenzo was also stiff in place, and only the sound of the storm was left in his ears.

   Eye pupils tightened, his expression was very complicated, not knowing whether it was fear or joy, his hands trembled slightly, and he whispered in a voice that Merlin could not hear.

   "The Silent One..."

All the insiders were killed, and the survivors were afraid of the curse of knowledge and refused to pass on this deadly information. Mankind has never really understood the status quo of this world, and everyone is bound by the invisible [boundary] like domestic animals. , And those weird existences are like guards, defending [boundaries].

  Keep silent, and the silence will last forever.
