Along with the severe pain in his mind, the dusty door in the memory palace flashed before Lorenzo's eyes. In a trance, Lorenzo heard the sound of stone friction, old dust fell, and a dazzling light lit up behind the gap.
It was almost there. Lorenzo stretched out his hand and was about to touch the open door, but in an instant everything returned to calm. Sweat flowed down his cheeks. He sat on the chair, holding the armrests tightly with both hands.
The machine was still roaring, but judging from the constantly flashing red light and the beeping Geiger counter beside my ear, the results of this test did not look good.
"That's really interesting. According to the test results, you are now in the third stage of erosion, an irreversible third stage. According to this, you should have become a demon now." Abigail said.
Medical staff removed the electrodes from the back of Lorenzo's head and disinfected his wounds.
"What kind of existence are you demon hunters? It's so strange that sometimes I even have a strange guess."
Abigail observed Lorenzo carefully. In her eyes, this man was cut into countless pieces of flesh. Her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the skin and see the organs hidden behind the bones.
"Are you interested in telling me about it?"
Lorenzo asked. He was still wary of all this, but he also believed that these people might really be able to help him find the answer.
"You are no longer human. To be more precise, you are a higher being than humans, or... evolved."
"evolution?"
"Yes, I was able to think of this because of one of our enemies. He is called the Plague Doctor. His specific name is unclear and his whereabouts are strange, but every time he appears, there is a large-scale death of people, and those people are basically used by him for experiments... He seems to be studying demons as well.
The Purge Agency came very close to capturing him, but he escaped, but we were able to find some of his lab notes, and this theory is based on his notes."
Abigail recalled that and then spoke to Lorenzo.
"He believes that demons are a form of evolution. They are so powerful, they are creatures superior to humans, and they are also the inevitable next stage of human evolution."
"Lost his mind? Evolved into a monster?" Lorenzo couldn't believe it.
"Who knows? Even now, we still don't know the full picture of the demon, right? Who can guarantee that such a strange creature is really irrational? Or maybe the demon is also rational, but we have not discovered it yet."
As Lorenzo listened to Abigail's words, Watson's face suddenly flashed in his mind.
"Sane... demon."
"And Mr. Lorenzo Holmes, in what form does the fake Holy Grail in your body take?" Abigail asked again.
"Come, try to think about it. Scientific research is about thinking and action coexisting. Please think carefully about what form the unknown pseudo-holy grail exists in your body in."
"In terms of form of existence, what do you think the pseudo-Holy Grail will be?" Lorenzo asked.
"That depends on you. Obviously you don't have any 'extra' parts on your body at the moment." Abigail walked around Lorenzo, looking at him carefully.
