"In fact, the subconscious mind doesn't have such a bad problem as finding something to do. Since ancient times, the greatest fear of mankind has been neither the flood beast nor the financial crisis, but the timidity and cowardice of the unknown. From the perspective of the development process of human psychological protection mechanism, on the one hand, we have a strong desire to maintain a consistent need for our understanding of things, hoping that everything that happens in front of us can conform to our cognitive system, and on the other hand, we are eager to control the real environment, instead of being pushed to the ground by reality and beating your ass. Mrs. Hudson's explanation is humorous, "When both of these desires fail, in order to protect the psyche from trauma, the subconscious mind will unconsciously mobilize all your experience and knowledge to form a logical and convincing narrative to soothe your anxiety and fear of the unexplained." ”

"As for why Eric would associate his otherwise true experience with the Notre Dame Church~" Mrs. Hudson did not specify the answer, but pulled out a thick brown book from a cabinet and showed it to everyone. The title of Notre-Dame de Paris is instantly recognizable, and it is placed on top of the cabinet where Eric takes the letter paper in the video. "Coincidentally, although Victor Hugo's alchemist is an evil villain, we don't mind. ”

I add. Leonardo watched Chiko and Caitlin look at Mrs. Hudson in amazement, and said, "This lady is a psychologist who has been delayed by politics, and she was the youngest doctor of psychology at Yale University. ”

"Well, let's talk about why old Pfeiffre showed up in this chamber and injected me with that damn potion, and how he got this Rausch. Eric is very familiar with the bearded man who injected him with Dora's agent in the video, Felix's father, the founder of the Smiling Legion, and the mastermind behind the murder of the president...... Before he knew that he was so rough with his neck, Eric thought he was very amiable.

Hearing Old Puffer's name, a huge wave suddenly set off in Chiko's heart. He murdered Jefferson, though she did not consider him qualified to be her father. She glanced at the still surveillance video uneasily, and her heart suddenly had mixed feelings.

But to Eric's relief, Felix didn't know that his father had completed the "neurological extension and mirror reflex study" from Bald's investment project—Pfeiffre Sr. had gotten Dora's reagent and damn had done a live test on himself. Luckily, Felix thinks his father is a stumbling block for the Smiley Legion, and Pfeiffre Sr. doesn't fully trust his son.

"I can only answer you one last question, and I can't help as to how he found here. In this tunnel, we are only responsible for guarding two points, one is the Chamber of Secrets of the Congregation, and the other is the graveyard of Solis, the only disciple of Nicholas Flammel, the founder of the Nicholas School. Surveillance footage is also limited to a one-mile radius of the two locations. With that, Mrs. Hudson switched the surveillance footage to Solis' grave.

In the surveillance video, it can be seen that Leonardo was very panicked, he hurriedly took out the silver suitcase from under the tombstone, as if hesitating for a moment, and then staggered away with the suitcase. Mrs. Hudson stopped the video at the intersection where Leonardo was last seen and asked, "Is there anything else you can remember?"

Leonardo sensitively sensed the suspicion in Mrs. Hudson's words, and he replied unpleasantly: "My memory is not wrong, I received your note from the Institute of Nerve Conduction at the University of Cambridge, and you told me that the secret of PX-0 has been discovered, and that this suitcase should be transferred immediately, so that I can get to Bacchus as soon as possible." ”

Mrs. Hudson squeezed her eyebrows and did not speak. Leonardo saw Mrs. Hudson's strange expression, and saw Chiko and Caitlin's puzzled eyes, and wondered, "What's the matter? Is there a problem? Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you believe what I say?"

Eric rolled his eyes angrily, "Don't you think it's strange? Mrs. Hudson would give such an important matter to someone who is constantly watched? and risk sending the note to the Nerve Conduction Institute at Meath University, you know, if you make a slight mistake, your opponent will have a group of agents from the Special Intelligence Division of E-6." ”

Leonardo retorted, "But I did receive your note, and although I wondered why you asked me to do this, it was in your handwriting, and it could not be wrong." So ~ so ......"

"So you believe it?" continued Mrs. Hudson. Leonardo nodded confusedly, like a child who had been wrongfully broken glass, obviously innocent.

Mrs. Hudson sighed and said, "But I haven't written you such a note. ”

"What?" Leonardo's eyes widened in shock and he repeated, "This~ this is impossible, I did receive your note, and it was really your handwriting!"

Mrs. Hudson shook her head and said regretfully, "You have been deceived. But ~I think~ I know why. There was a bizarre theft in the archives of the House of Lords in country E, where some of the legislators' letters were stolen, including a few of mine. As she spoke, Mrs. Hudson took out a newspaper clipping from the bookcase, and the headline "A Strange Theft in the Archives of the House of Lords of Country E" was very glaring at this time.

"I was very concerned about this case at the beginning, and now I know what these letters are for. I think they took my letters to imitate my handwriting. Mrs. Hudson seemed a little mindful of her hindsight.

"But why did this box end up in the hands of this damn detective, I remember that after separating from him, I obviously transferred it to a normal grave and marked it PX-0. And why did this detective's fingerprints open this box," Leonardo said indignantly.

At this moment, there was a sound of dripping in the secret room, like a kind of urgent alarm. Chiko and Caitlyn saw Leonardo's face change dramatically when he heard the noise, and he looked at Mrs. Hudson in disbelief: "What are you doing! Are you going to ruin this place?"

Mrs. Hudson said blandly: "You know, the secret here has been leaked, but our secret is not only the Jewish Book of Abraham, but all the members of the Nicholas School, including our ancestors of all generations, if they are leaked, let the mediocre people know how many conspiracies and strife will emerge if they let the mediocre people know that the scientific giant, the political strongman, and the literary master whom they admire, is a mystic who believes in turning stones into gold." We have to be held accountable, so I activated the self-destruct device 5 hours ago, and in 20 minutes it will be an enclosed space with a hydrogen-powered flame that will burn it to ashes. ”

Leonardo was silent, but his eyes filled with tears of reluctance and anger.

Mrs. Hudson smiled sadly, and said as if relieved, "Enough, Leonardo." While the Brotherhood, the Knights Templar, and the Illuminati experienced bloodshed and intrigues, the Nicholas School sat peacefully here for centuries. We deserve this. ”

The alarm beeped as Mrs. Hudson walked over to the statue of Nicholas Flamell and pressed an indistinguishable mechanism, which "clicked" the two bookshelves next to each other in the walls of the chamber, revealing a crack.

Eric took one last look at the chamber with pilgrimage reverence. An ancient school that had been peacefully hidden underground for hundreds of years was eventually burned to the ground. In addition to leaving Leonardo and Mrs. Hudson with remorse and grief, there is also a series of bewildering mysteries.

What was I experienced here 2 years ago?

Why do I get the suitcase, and why can my fingerprint open it?

How did old Pfeiffre get Dora's reagent?

Who ambushed Leonardo in the tunnels? Could it be the Smiling Legion?

Eric felt a deep sense of frustration. Yes, the disciples of Sherlock Holmes, not only did not solve the problem, but made it more complicated and difficult, which is simply a great irony. Chiko and Caitlyn pushed open the bookshelves on either side, revealing a stone door behind the bookshelf, and in the center of the door was carved a giant red bird above the raging flames.

Eric recognized the bird, its name was the Phoenix, and in the Western realm, it was a mysterious creature born from ashes, which Nicholas called "the treasure of treasures".

"Reborn from the ashes. That's really where we are now. ”
