"Rat King?"
Shrike obviously didn't expect Lorenzo to ask this. After a brief moment of surprise, he said.
"Why do you mention him?"
The two have been hanging out in the lower city for a long time. This ghost place has too many secrets, so many that it is disgusting, and the Rat King is one of them.
As the intelligence chief of the Lower City District, his spies are spread widely. Although his service area is limited to the Lower City District, he also knows intelligence outside the Lower City District.
"Because your elimination agency doesn't have the spare energy to deal with those illegal immigrants, I have to do it." Lorenzo's words were full of sarcasm. "They went to find the intelligence dealer of the bad rats. I don't know what they were asking. Anyway, they planned to kill people to silence them afterwards. However, I was there at the time, and several of them died instead."
Shrike was a little surprised at the sudden unfolding of the story, but when he thought about it, Lorenzo's action speed had always been like this. When he asked you whether you should kill a person, he might have already killed the person and buried him.
"This is no longer within the scope of our investigation." Lorenzo's progress on the case was so fast that it exceeded Shrike's imagination.
"I'm from Florence, so I have to take care of my fellow countrymen."
There was nothing kind about Lorenzo's words.
"So what did you find out?"
"They are not ordinary stowaways. They must be planning something. One of them escaped during my pursuit... To be precise, I almost caught him, but I was hit by a carriage that suddenly appeared."
Lorenzo's hand slid through the air, hiding from the Shrike how he was in a brief free fall.
"The carriage took him away at such a high speed that I was unable to catch up with him and was subsequently caught by the mounted police for disorderly conduct."
Hearing this, Shrike Yile didn't expect that Lorenzo would also be humiliated.
"I thought you were going to kill the troopers and then keep chasing him... even though you'd lost him."
Lorenzo looked helpless.
"Shrike, just like you said, living in a human group, we must always abide by some rules. Besides, I'm not a lunatic. Confronting the mounted police will only make the situation worse."
Lorenzo thought of Press, "We all come here to make a living. It's always a bit strange to lose our lives or get beaten up for no reason, right
Everyone has two sides. If everyone showed their true selves, the world would be much more peaceful.”
Lorenzo teased.
"That's not something you would say. You actually have... empathy?"
In Shrike's eyes, Lorenzo is just a monster in human skin. Although he disguises himself well, everyone knows that his greatest hobby is to kill monsters. Only when he bathes in the rage of revenge can he be truly alive.
Lorenzo shook his head and said with some disdain.
"That's the complexity of human nature, isn't it? I'm a murderer, but what does that have to do with me being a philanthropist who supports orphans?"
Arthur is the head of that violent organization, a cold-blooded evil spirit. But when it comes to his daughter's life, this evil spirit becomes fragile and no different from a mortal. But in this case, can you say that he is no longer vicious
