Lead-gray clouds covered the city, and the gloomy iron curtain blocked most of the light, making the alley on the corner extremely dark.
Lorenzo leaned against the side of the street, holding his folding knife openly in his hand. It was raining, but fortunately, due to the narrowness of the alley, the rain here was barely light compared to the street.
"Xige, you have been corrupted."
Lorenzo said coldly that he originally wanted to solve the trouble with Sig at home, but then he thought about everything that happened with Mrs. Van Rudd, and Lorenzo finally gave up everything.
She said she wouldn't bring trouble home, so Lorenzo wouldn't kill anyone at home.
“What is erosion?”
Sigg had lost the strength to stand, his body and mind were tortured by strange pain, but the illusion before his eyes became clearer as the pain progressed. The closer he was to death, the stronger the beauty became.
“It’s hard to explain to you, but basically… you’re going to die and turn into a monster,” Lorenzo said.
Sigg was not surprised by this result. He still remembered everything Moriarty said to him at that time. This was a deal with the devil. He had to pay for what he got.
"So Lorenzo, you've been hunting monsters before?"
"almost… "
There is no need to hide anything from Sigg at this point, Lorenzo said directly.
Sig looked at the strange figure, his tone was light, yet so heavy.
"You seem like a hero then..."
No one could have imagined that the first heartfelt conversation between two people with such huge differences would be at this time. Sig was also a little surprised. He had always thought that there was a gangster saint living next door to him, but it turned out that he was actually an urban hero.
Damn the scene, damn the dialogue.
Lorenzo suddenly laughed. He thought this would be a fight full of unbearableness and sadness, but in the end it turned into a conversation under the rain. He picked up a cigarette, lit it in the wind and rain, and a faint smoke rose.
"It's not your fault, Sig. Because of me, you were discovered by the darkness. You were also targeted because of the so-called 'phototropism'. In fact, I have been trying to avoid this from happening..."
Lorenzo suddenly fell silent. He did not look at Sig. With his rich experience, Sig could not escape his pursuit. But at this moment, Lorenzo felt sad and blamed himself.
During his long life in Old Dunling, Lorenzo knew very well what he was. He was neither a pure human nor a pure monster. He was somewhere in between, a walker between morning and evening.
During this time, Loren avoided contact with others, so he had few friends, rarely talked with Mrs. Van Rudd, and was also cold to his roommate Sig.
Because Lorenzo knew very well that he had secret blood flowing in his body. This forbidden blood ignited a blazing flame in the darkness, illuminating not only himself, but also the people around him, allowing those strange demons to glimpse their existence.
Lorenzo was aware of this as early as when Seleu was targeted by Lawrence. Seleu was too close to him and was illuminated by the sinful light. Fortunately, Lorenzo saved everything in the end and prevented the tragedy from happening. But this time he failed. He failed to save Sigg and was corrupted by Moriarty.
