Ember Gun

  Chapter 73 Gap

This is a cold world, underfoot is an endless ice field. The dark blue water is surging under the thick ice layer. There seem to be other things in the gloom, but because of the obstacles of the ice layer, they He could only knock on the cold surface feebly, mixing the strange friction sound in the cold wind.

  The stars converged into a galaxy, penetrating the night sky, spreading from one section of the horizon to the other end, occupying the entire field of vision.

Lorenzo looked at the figure with his back to the full moon, and countless emotions surged in his heart, but in the end he couldn't say anything, so he looked at each other from such a distance until the man walked to him. Sitting on the lonely bench.

  "Don’t you think this is like an artist’s absurd dream?"

  He sits down casually, his old windbreaker doesn’t seem to keep warm at all, but he doesn’t seem to feel the cold, judging the world casually.

  This is a world in a gap, in the gap between life and death, everything is so desolate except for the two at this moment.

   "Probably... at least I think it's not bad."

  Lorenzo thought for a while, and sat back on the bench. The two faced the full moon rising below the horizon, as relaxed as sitting in the park watching wild dogs chasing squirrels.

   "By the way, what should I call you now, do I call you Lorenzo or something? What about life in Old Dunling."

  The man smiled slightly.

   "Lorenzo... I really don't like it."

  Lorenzo was too lazy to show any shyness or other emotions, and his whole body was cold.

   "I know, after all, who knew that you would actually take this name to commemorate me. He clearly planned to remember it, but found that the person who should be remembered was not dead."

   "Ah, I feel that I understand too well, I am ashamed to death!"

  The man is simply too happy, talking from various angles.

  But then everything calmed down. Lorenzo was not happy because of the **** joke. He took a deep breath, as if he was suffering from heartbreaking pain, and his determined eyes were filled with sadness at some point.

   "I remember you died, I killed you myself."

In the long silence, Lorenzo took the lead to break the calm. He didn't look at the man, but stared at the front. The full moon was so huge and bright, as if rising from below the surface of the sea, on the surface of the glow. The huge crater is faintly visible.

Lorenzo remembered those astronomers who said this. They said that the craters were left after the asteroid impact, but in his opinion, they were shriveled eye sockets after another. Perhaps there were huge eye pupils one after another. , But were dug up one after another under an unknown force.

   "Oh oh oh, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it? Your kid is really cruel."

The man didn't care about Lorenzo's emotions at all, and said with a bit of joy. He lifted the dark windbreaker. The chest underneath was **** bones, without flesh and blood, as if he had been attacked by a ghoul. All the organs and even the heart were eaten up.

   "How does my taste? I always think of myself as vanilla cake."

  Like a salesman asking customers if their meat is delicious, a large part of Lorenzo's neuroticism comes from this bastard.

   "Did you know that you were very ugly when you were eating, crying and chewing, but also cheating."

  Ah... I really want to tear this neurosis alive.

  Lorenzo gave him a blank look. When the neuropathy meets another more neuropathic person, there is always an unspeakable sense of powerlessness. It is usually Lorenzo torturing other people, but here he is torturing himself.

   "So you said this is [Gap]? What is that."

  "Literally, the [gap] of everything."

  The man covered the abominable wound, and then said slowly.

   "The Order has been studying things on the spiritual level, that is... the soul. Those alchemists have divided things into four elements, but above this there are souls related to life."

  He turned his head, it was a face somewhat similar to Lorenzo, but it was different.

  The man is a very optimistic person, so optimistic that even if he is dead, he still cannot calm down. Even if he and the monsters are thrown together, he may also pull those terrible creatures and tell cold jokes together.

   "Just like we are familiar with, the connection with the darkness, Lorenzo, have you ever wondered what the deepest connection is?"

   "The deepest place?"

  Lorenzo shook his head. He didn't know much about these things. In his opinion, what was in the deepest part was probably the endless demons and the erosion that killed people in an instant.

   "Yes, this is what the sect specializes in the later period. What is the deepest connection? All experiments have a hypothesis, a hypothesis."

  Lorenzo seemed to have thought of something, he asked.

   "That's right here? The deepest part of the connection, you named it [Gap]."

   "Worthy of my successor, you guessed it."

  The man was pleased with Lorenzo's quick thinking, and he clapped his hands happily.

"So... Am I dead? After all, you died six years ago. As a dead person, you are happily telling me that we are in the deepest point of contact [the gap], although I don’t know what exactly is here. What's the matter, but it's not just a place to come, right?"

  Lorenzo felt that he might be dead, but he felt relieved. He collapsed on the bench and looked at the Milky Way through the night sky above his head. Suddenly, he felt that the world after his death was pretty good.

  "You are not dead, my friend, it stands to reason that no living person can reach [Gap], but there is always something special, such as us."

  The man talked and grabbed Lorenzo. In the cold air, he could smell the faint **** smell, which originated from the man's hideous wound.

"At that time I died, and when I wake up again I will be here. Sometimes I can perceive your presence, but I cannot see you. It’s just like what we know, the connection with darkness, Our worlds overlap, but I cannot observe yours.

  Until today, your connection with the darkness has reached the deepest point. I finally saw you, so I dragged you over as soon as I tried hard. "

  The man said while swinging his hands, making a forceful drag.

"Then do you know that I was fighting a Michael Demon Hunter before I came here? He has broken through the critical value, and the rising flame is enough to melt steel, maybe I was burned to death in the time I talked to you NS."

  The touch of reunion has been almost wiped out by the man's bullshit, Lorenzo said coldly.

   "Huh? I'm really sorry then."

  The man apologized after hearing it, but Lorenzo could not see any regrets on that face.

   "[Gap] still has too many secrets, I don't know yet, but at least we have proved that it does exist."

   is another useless message. Lorenzo looked at him with cold eyes and asked coldly.

   "Then what about you? What's the matter with you, you are already dead, so at this moment you are my illusion, or what is the so-called soul?"

  This is a weird place, weird things, and even weird everything.

  The man felt nothing, he thought for a while, and then pointed to the ice field under his feet.

"I am probably the same as it. Just like six years ago, we still failed to kill it, but we managed to trap it. You are the last person in the world to remember its existence, so it lives in your memory. Here, as long as you don’t spread its information, it will be trapped in your memory forever.

  It is reasonable to say that I am dead, but a part of it is sandwiched with it. While you trapped it, part of my consciousness was trapped here, so I have survived to this day. "

   The man said sternly.

  "In other words, I am really dead, and what you have in front of you is just a reverberation with memories, a lonely ghost that does not belong anywhere."

This is a sad story. As the man’s words began to tremble, the friction in the wind became louder and louder. Lorenzo didn’t even have time to grieve for him, so he subconsciously moved and prepared to attack, but was The man buckled tightly.

   "Don't worry, it can't escape. It has been tossing about it every day for so many years."

  Just like admiring some beautiful scenery, the man sat firmly on the bench, watching the ice layer under his feet burst and the huge sea water poured up from it.

  "This may be the last comfort from God. Although everyone is almost dead, it is really good to see its painful struggle every day."

  Lorenzo listened quietly to the words, the faint blue under his feet broke out completely, and countless dry arms pierced the sea. They were locked in heavy chains, longing for fresh air, and then let out a whimper.

   With its palm scratching the smooth ice surface, it tried to climb up, but all this was in vain, leaving deep scratches on the ice surface and then falling into the deep sea again.

how many people?

  Hundreds of them are trying to escape from this cold ice sea, but no one can do it.

The heavy iron lock spreads from the end of the deep sea to the top, its figure gathered like a school of fish, and finally turned into a pitch-black orca crashed through the glacier and jumped high, and countless faces overlapped and turned into a monster with hundreds of faces. , The weird darkness is clearly visible under the full moon.

The sound of the tide swept over, and Lorenzo saw the terrible whale with a hundred-faced whale bring up the white tide like a waterfall, but then the low temperature froze everything, it still could not escape the ice sea, standing like a sculpture in the desolate Above, the next moment everything collapsed and shattered into dense snowflakes, dragged by the strong wind, the chaotic white swallowed everything.

The man didn’t feel the slightest panic. It was like watching a performance that he had watched countless times. At the end of the song, the audience should sit steadily on their chairs and wait for the end. Applause for the second death.
