Chapter 250: The curse of knowledge

Views:

Lorenzo sat on a chair with several bottles of medicine in front of him. Although they were sealed well, there was still a strange smell that rushed into his nostrils, and he couldn't help sneezing.

Looking up, he found himself in this huge underground factory. Steel and machinery were intertwined with each other like a huge deep well. He was at the bottom and could not see the sky when he looked up.

After Merlin's repeated requests and persuasions, Lorenzo reluctantly agreed to his experiment. At the same time, he also thought a lot about why he survived, just as Merlin said.

Lorenzo thought about it for a long time, wondering who would be the biggest beneficiary if he survived, and finally came to this conclusion.

It was Watson who didn't want to die, and his own survival was just a byproduct.

Lorenzo himself is a cage, trapping Watson inside. As long as Lorenzo remains silent, Watson will be trapped here forever. When Lorenzo dies, the last person who remembers her will disappear, and Watson will no longer have any means of survival. Therefore, she needs Lorenzo to be alive, and the two of them are like a strange symbiotic relationship.

Of course, these are just Lorenzo's inferences. He can only rely on guesswork to judge the nature of this fake Holy Grail.

Watson was born on the devastating night of the Holy Coming, and almost all the participants died in the catastrophe. Not to mention the nature of the experiment of the pseudo-Holy Grail, even the number of people who knew of its existence was very small... In fact, there was only Lorenzo.

Until now, Lorenzo still believes that he is one of the few survivors of the Holy Night, and he is the only one who still remembers all the tragic events.

"So you're still watching all this?"

Lorenzo whispered quietly, looking around vigilantly.

He thought of his conjecture again. Since Lawrence's death, when he returned from the black angel, Watson disappeared. This evil devil never responded to any of his calls again, as if she was just Lorenzo's crazy fantasy, or she had escaped from Lorenzo's cage.

But Lorenzo was more inclined to guess that Watson was still trapped in his body, but she remained silent. She was observing Lorenzo's confused expression with an evil smile, waiting for her to have wild thoughts and self-doubt until cracks appeared in her solid belief, which would allow her to collapse.

Glancing back and forth, Lorenzo believed that Watson was nearby, spying on him in some darkness that he could not detect. But if that was the case, there was another suspicious point, which was the whereabouts of Medanzo.

The ghostly Medanzo exists in Lorenzo's [Gap]. He is one of the shackles guarding the false Holy Grail, but he has not responded so far and Lorenzo cannot sense his presence.

The puzzle appeared in front of Lorenzo again, as if some danger was slowly approaching. He wanted to take precautions in advance, but he couldn't see where it was coming from.

"Mr. Holmes!" Merlin shouted, pulling Lorenzo back from his whirlpool of thoughts.

The alchemist had obviously planned this in advance, and had already prepared some experimental equipment and potions. Lorenzo even suspected that he was being tricked.
