"Demon... Although we have fought against each other for an endless time, we still don't know what it is, where it came from, what it is, and why...
Perhaps some knew this, but they died with the secret in their graves. This is all I know, but everything has its own name, even the filthy monster, so the saints named it after the mythical creature that was hostile to God.
Lorenzo whispered the ancient secret, and just telling the story made the girl feel inexplicably stressed.
The girl breathed hard and remained silent. She listened to Lorenzo's words but didn't want to say anything more.
As Lorenzo said, that is forbidden knowledge, and given Eve's current condition, it is best not to be exposed to it too much.
"Is that... the exit?"
At this desperate moment, the glimmer of light ahead became brighter and brighter. Eve was a little dazed and took tired steps.
As if she had grasped some hope, she recovered some strength and ran desperately over there. She could feel that it was the exit. As long as she left here, she could say goodbye to these monsters and this damn nightmare would be over. But when Eve was only a few steps away from the light, Lorenzo pushed her down. The girl wanted to say something but he covered her mouth tightly.
"Be quiet, this isn't going well."
Lorenzo's voice was very soft, and the calmness in his eyes still dominated this excited body.
Eve did not resist much. Under Lorenzo's confinement, she only heard Lorenzo's cold voice.
"In the face of madness, all you can do is stay rational, absolutely rational, do you understand?"
Lorenzo was severely admonished. He had experienced this situation many times before. After enduring tremendous pressure in the darkness, everyone would lose their minds when they saw the light, just like people who had lived underground for a long time warmly embracing the sunlight when they stepped onto the surface.
But the ending would not be good. The scorching sun would instantly burn the eyes that had adapted to the darkness. In the light after escaping the darkness, perhaps an even more terrifying monster was waiting for Eve.
Under Lorenzo's control, the two moved forward slowly, and finally she shifted her gaze to the front, behind the light.
There was nothing that Lorenzo was wary of. There was just a deep pit. The passage where Eve and Lorenzo were at the moment was above the huge pit, and there was a staircase rising along the wall of the pit connecting them together.
Eve originally thought that the banquet hall was the largest underground space in the palace, but it was obvious that this was the largest.
Endless light poured down from above, as if it were some high-intensity electric light. It was so bright that the two of them just moved their eyes upwards and felt it was dazzling, making it impossible to observe at all.
The entire deep pit was at least tens of meters deep and was illuminated extremely brightly. There were layers of meaningless torches lit around the pit walls. Looking down, the bottom of the pit was covered by blood-red fog and only a vague red mass could be seen.
"I guess this is a place of sacrifice."
Lorenzo looked at the bottom of the deep pit. Although it was covered by fog, his past experience made him alert.
"So your job in Florence was... to fight this kind of thing?"
