Chapter Ninety-Eight - The Traveler's White Hair, Dye Bright Red 11

After Sherlock leaves, Dior also goes to meet with important people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info She met with none other than the Prime Minister and the Queen, who had been busy with the recent Jack the Ripper affair and all sorts of official duties. The dignitaries of the country finally made time for the incident to meet this 'famous' street gangster.

Located in the heart of London, Downing Street has been the official residence of important cabinet officials, namely the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who is also the second Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the past 200 years. 10 Downing Street was once the official residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and after the Chancellor's priorities merged with the Prime Minister in the middle of this century, it became the place where the British Prime Minister conducted official business, referred to as No.10. The NO.10 is connected to the Houses of Parliament through Whitehall Street, and there are important institutions such as the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Home Office, and the Admiralty near Whitehall, which can be said to be one of the lifeblood of the whole United Kingdom.

Despite the apparent peace and busyness, there may be a jaw-droppingly complex secret chamber underground, ready to respond to the arrival of war. This is an indispensable preparation for any country. Once command and leadership are lost, no matter how powerful an army is, it is only a rabble, and no matter how powerful a country is, it is just a piece of scattered sand. Dior suddenly felt that the reason for the gradual disappearance of the imperial system may be precisely because with the development of technology, it is becoming more and more difficult to assassinate the leader of the embankment, and only by leaving behind a single leader and finding a 'replacement' at any time can the government be stabilized.

The only meaning of the so-called assassination is to cause panic, and even if the assassination is successful, it will not shake the fundamental interests of the ruler. The bloated system, despite its inconvenience and decay, has also given the country an unimaginably tenacious vitality.

After passing a simple check and handing over all his weapons, Dior was able to enter 10 Downing Street. She began to think about how well the street was guarded, and despite the fact that it seemed that it had not been subjected to any strict scrutiny, and that she had simply entered the highest authority in the country without even getting her to show her proof, she still did not think that it was unprotected.

Led by the secretary, Dior came to the prime minister's office. There were only two people sitting in the spacious, bright office, an old man with gray temples, and a very young-looking blonde woman. Presumably the Queen and the Prime Minister.

"Connor, come, sit. I am glad that you have accepted the invitation, and as a member of the Honourable British, we see every one of the things you have done for your country, and what you do will make any Briton proud. The Prime Minister immediately smiled kindly, and he seemed to be very happy.

"I am also very glad that there is a chivalrous aristocrat like you in England today, and I am sure that you will create more good stories in the future," the queen said generously, "I believe you also understand the recent situation, and this time I invited you to No.10 not only to thank you for your contribution to Britain." There is no precedent for the Queen of England and the Prime Minister to be received at the same time, even by the emperor of the Ming Empire. Personally, I just want to say thank you, and if you can, be sure to be there at the next ceremony. And our beloved Prime Minister seems to have something else to say to you. ā€

Before Dior, who had just sat down, could say a word, he had already spoken.

"Here's the thing, I have something to say about the D-10 War Department," the prime minister tried his best to ensure that his amiable expression was maintained, "First of all, the report on finances, the start-up capital for the D-10 was entirely provided by the Ming Empire, and there is no problem at this point, but you have not officially taken office yet, and the official supply will not be officially distributed until next month, is there no problem at this point?"

"Of course not. Dio pondered why they said that.

"Good. Then there's the belonging, the question about Capek. What I'm trying to say is... She is now an invaluable technician in our country and is also the Minister of Defense. Wearing multiple hats may be too much for her, and while she herself has expressed a preference for being on the front lines, we have to take into account her security and some of the secrets she may be involved in. Therefore, the Minister of Defense will not participate in any of the usual missions, and if it is a mission that requires the use of "Cortana", she will stay in Whitehall. In addition, after consultation with the Admiralty, it was decided to award you the rank of major. ā€

"I see. Dior replied.

ā€œ... Finally, I have heard some subtle rumors, Major Connor," the Prime Minister said, frowning at this time, looking at the information, "that getting involved in local affairs before you take office is not something you should do. You know, this leads to some unwanted, unpleasant rumors and may make you possibly some unnecessary trouble... It's just a personal suggestion, Connor, not to get too deep into certain things, especially what some people are trying to hide. ā€

As soon as she said this, Dior's eyes narrowed, and she had already thought of this possibility. The 'Jack the Ripper' incident was ostensibly a homicide, but behind the scenes, there was too much of a conspiracy, and what Sherlock and Dior feared most finally came to the fore, and the incident implicated Britain itself. Since the United States can secretly conduct technical exchanges with the Soviet Union, it can naturally also communicate with the United Kingdom, and the United States obtained some information from the Soviet Union, and John was ordered to 'disappear' for a period of time and go to the United States, and the information behind this scene is clear at a glance.

For Dior, this is an acceptable result. She has no conflict of interest with anyone, and she has perfectly left behind what she had worried about. But all kinds of unhappiness jumped into her heart, and anyone who knew that what she did was manipulated by something might have this kind of strange feeling. Dio nodded to the prime minister.

The truth is in her hands, she is no longer deceived, and she no longer needs to choose for profit. But this also means that everything she does is useless, but she is still held by these so-called 'superiors', she wants to say something, her voice comes out calmly and powerfully, and in the end only three words are spoken:

"I know. ā€

"I'm looking forward to next year's investiture ceremony, and you're going to look more beautiful than anyone else. The queen nodded in satisfaction and stood up.

It is impossible for an intellectual creature to think completely rationally, and without emotion, human beings are nothing more than a delicate and fragile machine. Human beings, who have already acted emotionally, are the most susceptible to the influence of others, so human beings have made laws to restrain the purest thing that human beings themselves will have, and that is desire/desire. Law and morality are beginning to force human beings to be rational, and only by remaining rational can they find loopholes in their own rules and exploit them.

Can human beings adjudicate the sins of others? The final answer from Dior's reflections was, of course, no. She does not believe that sin is an absolute definition, she firmly believes that the so-called established 'sin' is nothing more than a means of domination created by human beings, and that maintaining stability is the value of the meaning of sin itself, but now Dior feels that something like sin does exist in the depths of the human soul. It is the root of the human being that cannot be fully defined.

Without saying a word, she stood up and paced to leave. At this time, I heard the old man's faint voice coming from behind him:

"'I look to you alone. Do not remember my sins, or the transgressions of my years. I confess all my sins before you, and I do not hide my wickedness. I pour myself out to your mercy. Cleanse and forgive me all my sins. ā€™ā€

Dio's footsteps paused, she sneered imperceptibly, and continued to leave without looking back.

Can humans adjudicate the sins of others? Of course Dio felt no, because she was the most heinous of the worst of the worst of the worst. If the gods really exist, then punish me from heaven.' She was sure that if God really existed, if he really created human beings, if he was really omnipotent, then this sin was also part of what God had given to mankind. How can a person who constantly hates what his gods have given him get a response from the gods? So of course, the gods don't rule on any sinful karma, because that's just a part of human beings.

Human beings are not such pure things, pure 'evil' and pure 'good' seem to her to be nothing more than concepts like perfection. She will not hate the good people, nor will she deliberately treat the people who really desire the 'right' and the 'good' with malice, of course, everyone wants such things, and human beings are just ugly moths that pursue the fire. But that kind of beautiful thing, human beings can't afford it. Therefore, while human beings reflect on their own sins, they also do unpardonable things. What do sinful people say foolishly about judging others?

Contradictory, stupid, incomprehensible, even so humanity will continue to move forward in the dark wilderness.

So Dio Connor continued her journey, never to stop.

"It looks like I can't get the Order of the Garter," she thought about the shiny medal, and the corners of her mouth showed a hint of curvature.
