Ember Gun

  Chapter 376 Office

  The old Dunling still looks like that. It seems that the heavy rain hasn't changed anything, but there seems to be some subtle changes, but many people don't notice.

  The gate of 121A Cork Street has not been opened again for a long time, and there is no light from the windows. It seems that it has become an empty house and is no longer inhabited.

From time to time, there are pedestrians standing on the side of the road and looking into the house. They vaguely remember this place. They remember that there lived an old lady with a quirky temper, a tenant who saw the dragon and saw the end, and another who liked to do community service. Guy.

They all seemed to have left, not knowing what they were doing, but such thoughts did not stay in the minds of pedestrians for too long. For them, the people and things at 121A Cork Street are nothing more than a fallen leaf in their lives. It's not worth paying attention to so much at all.

  In this way, dust filled the stairs little by little.

  Kestrel stood under the eaves not far away, looked at the house from a distance, picked up the record handed to him by others, and sighed helplessly.

"How about it?"

   Robin came over and asked.

   "There was no change, there was no trace of anyone coming back, and the monitoring personnel did not find any abnormalities... It seems that the guy Lorenzo is really dead."

  Kestrel has a sad look on his face.

It has been a month and a half since Reichenbach’s fall. During this period, the cleaning agency never gave up looking for Lorenzo’s traces. According to the survey of the crash site, they did not find Lorenzo’s body. Most people think that Lorenzo is not dead, and this guy is hiding from everyone.

   "If he is still alive, do you think he will still live in the old town?" Robin asked, with the same sadness on his face.

In that desperate storm, they experienced too much together and witnessed the death of Lancelot. After that, some rumors spread. It seems that Lorenzo had conflicts with the high-level officials of the cleansing agency before that. , If you look at it this way, Lorenzo's hiding is not unreasonable.

  "How do I know this kind of thing?"

  Kestrel replied casually, but at this moment he seemed to see something, his expression suddenly became tense.

  Robin also saw the Kestrel’s performance, and his gaze turned directly to the direction he was looking.

I saw a carriage stopped in front of 121A Cork Street, more than one, many carriages suddenly stopped in front of 121A Cork Street, and then the workers got out of the carriage, picked up tools and ladders to move Come, the scene is very lively.

"what happened?"

  Kestrel looked at the robin in astonishment.

"how could I know?"

Robin was also dumbfounded. During the time when Lorenzo disappeared, this place has been a heavy surveillance area for the removal of agencies, basically eliminating all possible external interference, but today such a group of people suddenly came, and it seems that theirs The construction site is 121A Cork Street.

  "Do you want to stop it?"

  Kestrel asked, he was caught off guard by the sudden incident.

   "This...wait."

  The Robin just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the picture he saw.

  On the balcony on the second floor of 121A Cork Street, a sleepy guy came out. He was still wearing a light blue pajamas and a ridiculous nightcap.

what happened? Isn't there no one here?

  The two looked at each other, and both read these words from each other's eyes.

  But this is not the end, I saw that strange guy scratched his head, looked at the workers working **** the first floor, and keenly caught the two people watching in the corner.

  He raised his hand and waved, greeted the two of them.

   "Yo! Good morning!"

  Looking at the familiar figure, Kestrel and Robin were completely sluggish.

  ……

  Although Mrs. Van Lourdes has left, the interior decoration has not changed, as usual, but this time it is no longer the grumpy old lady sitting on the main sofa, but a smiling neurosis.

  Lorenzo looked at the two guests, cocked his legs, like an uncle.

   "Why, you guys look surprised."

  Lorenzo took the lead in breaking the calm. He looked very happy. It seemed that the impact of the storm on him had subsided, and he had returned to his previous neurotic appearance.

   "How do you say? It was a bit unexpected indeed, I thought your return...will be even more nonsense."

Kestrel thought for a while and wanted to answer. With his knowledge of Lorenzo, he would definitely return in a very cool way if he survived this catastrophe, but he never expected that this time would be so ordinary, let Kestrel The high expectations have actually come to nothing.

  Robin did not think about this. After he was ready to solve the problem here, he reprimanded the guys in charge of monitoring. Such a big living person returned here and slept here. They didn't notice anything.

   "Oh, oh, is that so? But... there is no such nonsense appearance, is it, is it a particularly nonsense appearance?"

   Lorenzo asked, and then he laughed again.

  After smiling, the guy finally got serious, and the two guys on the opposite side also became serious.

  "You have been missing for a month and a half, but you are now appearing, which means that Lorenzo, you are not going to continue to avoid us, so are you ready to answer our question?"

  The robin said in a deep voice. After the storm, the overloaded operation of the agency was eliminated, and the Black Mountain Hospital was dealt with. At the same time, it was also hunting the Protestant Mission and contacting the Evangelical Church.

This was a heavy blow to the cleansing mechanism, but fortunately, they also got a lot in this disaster. Fortunately, the storm covered everyone’s sight, and the secrets of the demons were still well hidden behind the scenes. The human intellect is maintained.

It’s not a few hundred years ago. When going out was all on horse-drawn carriages, and communication was all on letters. In this old age, information control was very convenient, but what happened in the old days will be passed by telegraph trains in the next moment. The way, spread at an extremely fast speed, if not controlled properly, within a few days the entire Western world will know the existence of demons.

  This is also one of the disasters that the cleansing agency is worried about. If the erosion of demons is transmitted through a wide range of information, then the entire world will fall into hell.

   Even more desperate is that for this disaster, the cleaning agency has not had a good response plan so far. Even if the scavengers have a certain degree of antimemetic, it is still a big problem in terms of delivery.

  Lorenzo nodded. Since he appeared, he was ready for everything.

   "How did you survive?"

Without waiting for the robin to ask anything, the Kestrel said first. He also went to survey the location of Reichenbach's fall. The entire ridge was burning up. At that height, he couldn't understand how Lorenzo was. Survived.

   "It's very simple, I didn't fall to death."

"that's it?"

   "That's it, otherwise what do you think it is? I landed a few rolls to unload the force perfectly? How is this possible."

Lorenzo recalled the situation at that time. In the state of critical breakthrough, the physique of the demon hunter was raised to a dangerous edge by the secret blood. As the black angel slowed down while gliding, Lorenzo fell heavily to the ground. superior.

  I remember that he was lying down for a long time before he came back. When he got up, his internal organs broke and his bones broke. This is an injury that can easily kill a human, but for the demon hunters, as long as they breathe, they can survive tenaciously.

  "About what happened on the Reichenbach..." Robin asked again.

  For this question, Lorenzo paused, then asked back after a while.

   "Actually, with your ability to eliminate organs, you can definitely find out what happened in the follow-up investigation, right? Now it is just a person who needs my personal experience to determine all of this."

  Lorenzo thought for a while, and concealed some parts of the story that he didn't want to say.

"As you know, I induced the Demon Hunters of the Protestant Order to choose the Reichenbach as the battlefield, where I killed them all... You have to thank me. The pressure of the Black Mountain Hospital, otherwise the melee there is far more terrifying than you think."

   "Is this..."

  The robin thought about it, and the cleaning agency had indeed found out everything in the investigation. According to what Lorenzo said, the results of the investigation can be matched.

"Do you have any other questions?"

   Lorenzo asked again, looking impatient.

  His temperament is a bit special now. Robin didn't know what word to find for a while, but the Kestrel on the side said just right.

   "You... now feel like the head of the family."

   "Oh oh oh! You think so too!"

  Lorenzo suddenly seemed extremely excited, and sat up from the sofa with a cunning expression on his face.

   "Oh, this feeling is really good, I'll be alone here in the future."

  As he spoke, he took a pistol from his arms and fired directly at the target on the wall.

After the deafening gunfire, a black bullet hole appeared in the bullseye. After the white smoke rose slowly, the robin and the kestrel looked a little dumb, although they were familiar with Lorenzo's style of behavior, it was really true. It still feels a little difficult to get along with him.

  The door was pushed open, and the worker looked suspiciously in the direction of the gunshot. Lorenzo shook the gun in his hand and shouted at him.

   "How long will it be over?"

  The worker looked at Lorenzo and then at the robins and kestrels who were sitting on their backs. He swallowed.

   "It's all right now, sir."

  After finishing talking, he closed the door without even looking at it, signaling other people to speed up. Although it was a business deal with money, encountering these strange customers would always make people's psychological pressure rise sharply.

  The eyes of the two people still stayed at the door, and suddenly the Kestrel thought of something and asked Lorenzo.

"What are they doing?"

  Lorenzo's expression changed slightly, like a sly fox, and said mysteriously.

   "You'll know in a moment."

   The noise outside the door is constant, no one knows what the great detective has done secretly after missing for so long, but the Kestrel suddenly felt a little nostalgic, which reminded him of how he was when he first met Lorenzo.

A particularly reliable neuropathy, not a bitter and hateful avenger. Of course, the two identities are not in conflict, but it is obvious that this somewhat neurotic guy is more reassuring at this moment, especially when he is talking about something that is not funny. When the cold joke.

   "If you can, I hope you can return to the decontamination facility with us. There are many things, Arthur wants to ask you in person."

  Unlike a Kestrel who came for an outing, the robin still knew what he should do. After chatting, the conversation came to the topic.

They didn’t know the previous conflict between Lorenzo and Arthur, but they were also vaguely aware of the inside story, which made the robin a little nervous. Although the guy in front of them looked very kind, he could be a neuropathy. The most frightening place for people is uncontrollability.

  Perhaps the next moment Lorenzo, with a smile on his face, would not know where to drew the sword and chop everyone in the room, and think about it carefully, this is indeed something he can do.

   "I know, I know, but please wait a moment."

  Lorenzo looked out the door expectantly.

Amid the noise, a doorbell rang, and a courier came in doubtfully. He was a little curious about what the workers were doing outside, and even more curious about the three weird guys in the house, but in line with the professional rules, he knew very well that he didn’t. Ask more.

  "Is Mr. Lorenzo Holmos here?" he asked.

  "Here! Here!"

  Lorenzo got up and ran over with excitement.

  He put the signed courier on the small table, and opened it under the curious eyes of the two of them.

It was a gun, a finely crafted shotgun. Robins and Kestrels have a deep memory of this gun. This is Lorenzo’s favorite weapon. Although it was blown to pieces in the death match on the train, But today it appeared again, from the hands of a certain craftsman.

"Winchester……"

  Lorenzo whispered, stroking it, just as he remembered. At Lorenzo’s request, the craftsman and the little poem were also carved on it.

  It seemed that Lorenzo would pick up the gun and fire at the target in the next second, but he didn't. After a little miss, he picked up the shotgun and hung it on the wall.

At this time, the two onlookers discovered some subtle changes in 121A Cork Street. Lorenzo placed several brackets on the wall of the main entrance and hung up the shotgun high up. The guests would watch as soon as they entered the door. Go to this raised firearm.

Before the two could ask anything, the worker opened the door again and said to Lorenzo.

   "Mister is over, please take a look."

"OK!"

  Lorenzo ran over happily, his pajamas swayed violently like a cloak, during which he did not forget to signal to the robins and kestrels to let them follow.

  121A Cork Street.

  The three people stood in front of the exterior decorations decorated by the workers, with different expressions.

  Lorenzo had a look of excitement, while Robin was a little dazed. As for the Kestrel, he looked at the plaque hanging next to the door a little ecstatic.

  The iron wire was bent like a firearm, and a few rough handwritings were randomly outlined on it. As the workers placed the glow tube in the gap, the dazzling light almost blinded the Kestrel's eyes after the power was turned on.

  Lorenzo was very satisfied with all this. He walked up to the two of them, leaning on 121A Cork Street, and reached out his hand to pass a business card to the still a little confused Robin.

  "This is the Winchester Detective Agency, which takes over all the work that can be undertaken, but if it is related to monsters, please double the price."

Lorenzo’s smile gradually became rampant, and the strong light behind him only lasted for less than a few seconds. It may be a quality problem. The glow tube was constantly on and off, and in the end only a few bits and pieces were still on. Light, a fancy look.
