Ember Gun

  Chapter 159 Falsehood and Reality

  This is a nightmare with no end. No matter which door is opened, there is still an endless corridor behind that door, continuously extending forward, without an end.

  The two of them were in a huge maze, and they could only continue to rampage, trying to find the way to leave.

  The secret blood was surging and boiling, but Lorenzo did not exhaust all his strength. This moment is different from before. He now carries Seleu, who is almost incapacitated.

  Even if they fight with demons to this day, mankind still knows very little about demons, and even only understands a very simple part.

  In the records of the Demon Hunting Order, the monsters have no specific form. They show a variety of strange appearances, but the monsters appearing in the distorted human form are the most common, and they are also the ordinary monsters most contacted by the hunters.

  Of course, there are also many monsters with different abilities and characteristics besides the human form, such as the plant-like stomach and grass, and the illusion of the nightmare that Lorenzo is facing now.

  The illusion of a nightmare is an abnormal phenomenon to be precise. Humans in this range will be corroded, hallucinated, fall asleep, and then be alienated into a monster in the dream.

  The demon who brought this anomaly is called the Dream Builder, and only by killing it can this weird illusion end.

   "There are no hounds, and no curse. This is just a monster at work."

  Lorenzo came to the conclusion directly.

  Ordinary people will not know the existence of demons, just like foolish believers who attribute all these "abnormalities" to unknown gods and curses.

  Seleu made a meaningless voice, she hugged Lorenzo's neck, breathing a little bit fast.

Lorenzo could feel the heat of breathing coming from his jaw. The girl curled up in his arms like a small animal. It felt like you picked up a cat on a snowy day, but the problem was you and Your cat will not be able to return to the warm house, you are very likely to die in this illusory illusion now.

  Now Lorenzo can't feel any so-called beauty, only incomparable anxiety and anger.

  Although he says he is a demon hunter, there are some monsters Lorenzo rarely encountered, such as dream builders who can bring nightmare illusions.

For this particular monster, Lorenzo has only seen it in the records of the Order, except this time, he encountered it during the operation in Ende Town, but at that time he just fell into a dream, after waking up There is no such strange illusion.

  But now this illusion has crossed the dream and arrived in reality. This is not recorded in the book. Lorenzo is only strange to this, and it has never been tricky.

  Of course, this is not the most troublesome. With Lorenzo's ability, in this illusion, at most the demon can't kill him, and he can't find a way to leave.

  But now the continuous erosion is shrouded here, the demon hunter with secret blood may be fine, but the Seleuc in his arms is different, and after the effect of Florund's potion, she becomes dangerous.

   "Keep awake Seleucid! Don't fall asleep anymore, I only have one **** potion."

   shook the girl vigorously, she narrowed her eyes with a drowsy look.

  This is really a difficult situation. He ran on a road with no end in his arms in his arms.

  Lorenzo suddenly remembered the so-called after-death world, the same is true, unable to go in any direction without end, trapped in it for eternal struggle.

  Think about it carefully, it is really sad, there is no complete peace, and no real relief.

  Seleu let out a painful whisper, and she seemed a bit unable to hold it.

But without waiting for Lorenzo to do anything, a sudden dog bark sounded, and a pair of scarlet eyes were staring at him at the end of the promenade, and then a hound came out of the darkness as he approached. , Exuding unknown unknowns.

  "The Hound of the Baskerville..."

  Lorenzo whispered the curse softly, and clenched the sword in his hand.

  But the hound did not attack, but looked at him from a distance, and then a noisy voice sounded.

  Something is coming, with a hurried call and pace, like a wild dancing group of crows shrouded here, the sound becomes more and more heated, coming from all directions, and finally becomes a sharp flood.

   is a dog barking, countless hounds are roaring, their voices converge into the tide.

In the endless corridor, all the gates were opened at this moment, and all the voices became clear. It was the sound of chaotic steps. The hounds were running toward here, and then countless hounds came out. The door came towards Lorenzo.

  There is no retreat. Whether it is going forward or backward, they are countless hounds. Lorenzo hugged the girl in his arms and his thoughts flew.

  This is different from the nightmare illusion he knew. The dream was relieved but the illusion still existed... Or did Lorenzo never come out of the dream?

  Lorenzo subconsciously squeezed the knight sword in his hand. During his time in the Demon Hunting Order, he had been trained in dreams. As long as he knew that he was in a dream, it would be easier to leave.

  Just kill yourself.

  But he still has some hesitation, is this really a dream here?

  What is real and what is illusory.

  Lorenzo still remembers the hallucinations when he left the pump of perpetual motion. After leaving the [gap] of the demon, his will was devastated, and he had not been affected by the erosion, but produced many hallucinations.

  This made him misjudge the reality.

  If this is a dream that has not yet come out, then Lorenzo only needs to kill himself to wake up... But what if it is not? What if this is an illusion in the real world? In this situation, Lorenzo cut himself with a sword and almost dragged himself into a desperate situation.

  Or to say... a dual dream?

  Bone-to-the-bone cold swept across the body, and the blood chilled down.

  No, it’s not right. It was Seleuc who fell into the dream. Did he directly encounter the current hallucinations, or to say...

  Lorenzo looked at Seleuc in his arms, what if it was a dream at the beginning?

  From the beginning, Lorenzo fell into a dream from the beginning, and he was trapped in a dream since the conversation with Seleu.

  Yes, Lorenzo had fallen into a dream at a certain moment inadvertently, and everything now is illusory.

  But is the girl in front of you real or illusory?

  Lorenzo began to hesitate, the illusion and reality were confused together, and it was difficult for him to judge.

   "Then change your mind, Lorenzo, you can."

  Lorenzo said to himself, as if he could convince himself with this.

  The hounds are getting closer, and there is not much time left for Lorenzo to make a decision.

  So if it is not a dream, what if this is an illusion that occurs in the real world?

This illusion can only change one's own cognition, but it cannot change the real matter. That is to say, this long corridor is not so endless to see, it has an end, but the illusion has misled one's perception, maybe everything that one just has just been misled Just stand still.

   "Seleu, it depends on whether you live or die this time."

  Lorenzo whispered.

   Seleuc did not respond, she seemed to have a fever, her forehead hot.

  Hounds have arrived, hundreds of them, eager for flesh and blood.

  Lorenzo could use the rising flame to destroy the hounds in front of him, but he could not protect Seleu in his arms, so he made a decision.

   "I will kill you."

   looked fiercely at the red-eyed hound at the end, the next second the witcher hugged the girl and jumped out of the window, and the broken glass cut the world into countless pieces.

  Under the two of them was the endless abyss, and then under the pull of gravity, the two of them fell rapidly and marched towards the inaccessible bottom. After a few seconds, the knight sword fiercely plunged into the solid surface.

   Feeling the touch from the tip of the sword, Lorenzo knew that he was right. It was not a dream, but an illusion in the real world.

All of that is just the misleading of the illusion on its own perception, but it cannot modify the real world material, it cannot distort the space, that is to say, the seemingly endless abyss is just a background wall, but it wants to overcome that Fear jumped down, and it was really not easy.

   Raising his head, Lorenzo was already in the street, the street lights were on uniformly, and the lights were smudged in the slowly rising fog.

  The giant whale-like airship cruised slowly in the night sky, the steam was slowly discharged, and there were still faint figures on the cold street, but they didn't seem to notice Lorenzo.

  Behind him is Stuart’s mansion, and one of the windows can be clearly seen broken open, and Lorenzo just jumped out from there.

  There is no head-on confrontation, just a judgment made in an instant, followed by fear, what if Lorenzo really thinks this is a dream self-slashing sword?

  He breathed heavily, even with the vigilance from the bottom of his heart.

  Lorenzo is in self-doubt.

  In that brief hesitation, he doubted the truth of this world, doubted his own judgment, doubted the truthfulness of Seleu.

  This is the most terrifying point in the confrontation with demons. Self-doubt will cause the dam that resists fear to crack, and that gap will become Lorenzo’s fatal weakness.

"I'm……"

  Lorenzo chanted repeatedly, like some magical spell.

  This is his Venus, a beacon to stay awake in falsehood.

   "This is Lorenzo, Lorenzo Holmes."

   Repeated the name continuously, deepening the brand, and deepening it again, until a fiery fire burned in the gray-blue eyes again.

   "Lorenzo?"

   Seleuc slowly raised his head, looking at the demon hunter in front of him, his eyes like water.

   "Seleu, do you remember what you were doing when I first met you?"

   Lorenzo asked suddenly.

  The girl was slightly startled, as if she didn't understand why Lorenzo would ask this suddenly.

  Then the Demon Hunter laughed and couldn't help shaking his head.

   "It's really an exquisite design..."

  He looked down at the knight sword inserted on the ground, Lorenzo's face reflected on the sharp sword body, and he was standing behind Lorenzo in the reflected world.

  Medanzo's appearance is somewhat similar to Lorenzo. He looked at Lorenzo with a smile, as if the repeated spells called him out.

   "So this is not a dream or hallucination, right?"

   is not a dream, nor is it an illusion, it is a more subtle power, a power that Lorenzo does not yet understand.

   he asked.

  Me Danzo in the mirror nodded, and the two cheeks slowly overlapped together, there was no difference, as if they were the same person.

   Then the world collapsed.

  The power that originated from the pseudo-Holy Grail destroyed all interference.

The icy snow swept through everything and dissipated together with the girl in Lorenzo's arms. He was in the cold ice field. The man sat on the bench and looked at him. He didn't even have time to say hello to Lorenzo. The waves smashed the ice and swallowed Lorenzo directly.

   Accompanied by the melodious and far-reaching whale sound on the seabed, the [Gap] that eroded Lorenzo collapsed.
