Under the witness of the stars, the surging cold wind rolled up the snow dust, gently scratching Lorenzo's cheek.
"Is Lawrence really dead?"
Lorenzo asked this question, and at the same time he was questioning himself.
Watson was silent for a long time. She leaned back in her chair and was not in a hurry to answer Lorenzo.
“It’s been a long time since I came back here… I thought you wouldn’t let me enter your [Gap].” Watson said.
"Why do you think so?"
Lorenzo asked, since he got his memory back, the secrets between him and Watson had almost been figured out.
"Because you are very vulnerable in the Gap. If I kill you here, I can control everything about you. You must turn this place into the strongest fortress, Lorenzo." Watson warned him.
"You can't fall yet. The Scabbard Treaty is still in effect. The golden age has not yet arrived."
The Treaty of the Scabbard.
Lorenzo murmured the word.
Sometimes he felt that he already knew everything, and sometimes he felt that Watson was still hiding something from him.
But these are not important now. At this moment, Watson continued.
"Compared to that, aren't you curious about where I went after we separated?"
"Curious, but can you speak?" Lorenzo asked back.
Watson is similar to himself, but different. She also possesses the power called Gabriel, but she is far more powerful than Lorenzo. On that holy night, she [sublimated] far more completely than Lorenzo, and thus completely abandoned her cowardly body and transformed into an invisible will.
She is a ghost, a ghost wandering in the world.
This time Watson had no intention of teasing him, but spoke seriously.
"After I left, I have been familiarizing myself with this power. I have eroded many people and occupied their bodies. I have peeped into the deepest secrets in their minds. They are completely naked in my eyes."
Watson stretched out his hand and looked at his white, slender palm.
"I haven't observed myself for a long time. To be precise, I no longer have any fixed form. Now I pretend to be like this because it is the most familiar to me."
As Watson spoke, her appearance changed rapidly, with countless faces overlapping, and finally returning to Watson's original appearance.
"This is a... very strange feeling. Have you ever tried to use the power of Gabriel to corrupt others?"
Watson pinched her face. Although she had been in this form for a long time, the human part of her still made her feel uneasy and confused about all this.
Lorenzo nodded as he answered.
"I just corrupted a person, invaded his [gap], crushed his will, and spied on all his secrets."
"How does it feel?" Watson said.
"What do you mean?" Lorenzo was not sure what she was asking.
"It's just... some uncomfortable feeling that I'm becoming something else, something other than human."
Watson talked about his distress and confusion.
"Humans cannot invade other people's minds. In fact, it seems that both of us have become some kind of inhuman monsters.
