Chapter 40: Dark gate



  Chapter 40 The Gate of Darkness

Eve showed her white wrists, and several wounds were slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was as strange as Lorenzo's recovery. She looked terrified, although she didn't know how Lorenzo did it. Yes, but she knew it was something unknown.

   "I... Am I contaminated?"

The girl was a little scared. She shouldn't have told Lorenzo that once she was really contaminated by the monster, Lorenzo would definitely kill her directly with Lorenzo’s character, but Eve also knew the danger of the monster. Between the two, she I chose to be honest.

   "It's not..."

  Lorenzo stared at her, and said slowly after a long time.

   "A monster polluting a person also requires many conditions, and the polluted person will directly twist and change like Sabo, but you don't... your state is very stable... just like me."

   "Like you?" Eve asked tentatively.

  Lorenzo did not speak, he stood up and walked towards Eve, his eyes gradually ignited with fireworks, and the power called secret blood awakened in him.

  After a long time, the fireworks went out, and Lorenzo sat down again, but this time his eyes were full of confusion.

  "There are only a few results after contact with demons, so your state is actually quite easy to judge, but..."

  Hearing this, Eve panicked and sat down like a student.

  "Eve, you know that there are some things that you can't live without as long as you touch them, such as demons.

There is such a criterion in my knowledge. It is called a psychic. Most people don’t have the ability of psychic. Therefore, even if something dark approaches them, most of them will be fine. In this regard, two The description of the world is more appropriate. You can understand that we live in the same world and the same city as the demons, but usually the demons cannot see us. We are just a hazy mist in their eyes, but I can't see them in the same way. "

  Lorenzo's voice became magical, and something seemed to fill the room unknowingly, it was everywhere, but it was indistinguishable.

   "But if you learn too much dark knowledge, then this will deepen the connection between you and it, you will become clearer in the eyes of those monsters, and you will see them in the same way."

   said Lorenzo smiled here.

  "Just like myself, I am a humanoid psychic. With a little help from herbs, I will turn on my vision to see something that a living person can't see."

"Eve, if you want to understand your own state, then you will inevitably understand that knowledge. You will fall into the darkness little by little. The monsters in the mist will become clear to you, and you will gradually change. Become a psychic, chased by darkness all day long."

  Lorenzo looked at her seriously.

"So, the decision is yours. If you want to understand all of this, you are bound to deepen your connection with the dark, and maybe your connection will be broken after many years, but no one can guarantee the next thing. I need Your decision, the door of darkness is right in front of your eyes, it is up to you to step into it."

  Listening to Lorenzo's words, Eve fell silent. She knew Lorenzo's meaning very well. It was taboo knowledge. Once she understood her, she was destined to fall into the abyss.

   "I have a few questions, will I become that kind of thing?"

  Eve asked.

   "Without contact with demons, the possibility is very small, after all, your state is very stable."

   "Did this anomaly happen tonight?"

   "No, the cause of tonight should be a secret blood of low purity, it is everything that caused confusion, and the abnormality of your body should come from a long time ago."

long, long ago? In other words, I have had an intersection with this thing called a demon a long time ago?

  Eve clenched her hand unconsciously, her finger bones pressed white.

  The girl looked at Lorenzo stubbornly. The detective didn't know when she had returned to her previous state. She no longer felt cold-blooded and killed her embryos. She was nestled in a comfortable sofa like a dregs of society.

  The decision is right in front of my eyes. The so-called intersection of life is roughly like this. The girl thought a lot for a while, and finally replied seriously.

"tell me!"

  The girl's eyes are firm, with a seriousness that she has never had before.

Lorenzo was stunned. He hadn't seen this kind of look for a long time. He remembered that he was still a pastor in Fei Lengcui when he saw him last time. The children were like this when they said they would be in the future. They were full of persistence. Stubborn and naive.

   "I... can I hear the reason? If it's not because I can't decide my birth, I don't want to deal with these monsters."

   said here Lorenzo unconsciously remembered Sabo who died in his own hands not long ago. No one can decide his origin.

  Eve's expression was slightly dim, but after thinking about it, she still said it, she looked calm, or calm and terrible.

   "I have been having nightmares when I was very young, but I don't know what it is. I just always dream of a scene, repeatedly dreaming about it.

A woman was sleeping in bed. I couldn’t see her face clearly, but I always felt very close, but suddenly something came out of her belly, just like the monster I met. It came from that woman’s I crawled out of my stomach...I couldn't see that thing clearly, and I would wake up every time I had to see it clearly. "

"In fact, I didn’t dream of these a long time ago, but I dreamed it again the day before my mother died, so she died the next day. I was young and I didn’t know if it was curiosity or something. Mother was lying in a coffin full of flowers, and I lifted her clothes while no one was paying attention."

  Eve curled up on the sofa with her head in her arms, she muttered to herself.

   "Like a ghost, I lifted a corner of my clothes, and there is a hideous scar on my mother's stomach. It seems that some monster has crawled out of her stomach."

"Actually, I have almost forgotten these, but just like the connection you mentioned, as the connection deepens, those forgotten by me have returned. If I think deeper, I might be able to know something. ."

It is the nightmare that has been surrounding Eve. She thinks she has forgotten it, but sometimes she always remembers it suddenly, as she grows older, it becomes clearer, as if death crawled out of the scar and took away her mother’s soul. .

  Eve always thought that this might be her own imagination, but after tonight, all this weirdness was covered with the shadow of a demon.

Lorenzo took a deep look at Eve, everyone is like this, Eve thought she had a choice, but in fact the weird darkness was like a swamp, and would not easily let anyone set foot here. People, she thinks she has a chance to refuse, but just like fate, there will always be reasons to push her to move forward.

   "I hope you won't regret it."

  Lorenzo said, and began to recall the things he had sealed in his memory.
