Chapter 110 - The Tempest in the Land of Twilight 01
After Dior returned, he rarely did nothing, and after the first statement that "D-10" could not be dispatched, "D-10" did nothing until the official document was approved. However, Dior finally got what he wanted, and that was information about Jack the Ripper and the "Scar" company.www.biquge.info
The prostitutes who were 'brutally tortured' by Jack the Ripper actually signed an agreement with the Scarr Company long before that. As part of the secrecy, they promised to become the first 'public figures' of the "Skar" company. "Skar" gave them a 'makeover' for free... And what about the original body? Abandoned on the streets like the Jack the Ripper incident, the whole Jack the Ripper affair is in fact nothing more than a vassal of this chain of purposes.
The origin of all these events was the Far North operation, in which Dio personally participated. The end result was that Dr. Craigvin was taken away by the Soviets, and the rest of the matter is not clear, according to Dior's available intelligence and the information Daria said before returning to the UK, the Soviets made a secret technology deal with the United States, and the content of the deal is likely to include Craigwen's "artificial human" technology. And that technology, in the later technical exchanges between Britain and the United States, was transferred to the United Kingdom, and John, who was already studying similar things, with the help of Craigwen's information, launched the proposal of "Future Eve".
It's just that he probably didn't expect that Dior would see this proposal. But it was not irreparable, John left information related to Avar in the town where Dio was born and left something for Dior. As soon as she returned to the town, she was strongly watched by onlookers, which was unusual in itself. After all, those soft men who usually have no backbone and have been bullied by themselves for so many years, how can they be so angry about this kind of thing. Thinking back to the scene carefully, after Dio coaxed everyone away, there were still some warnings that ignored Dio and stayed... Maybe those people actually know something inside and want to tell themselves.
And he stupidly fell into it.
Thinking of this, Dior picked up the phone and dialed the people on standby at the "D-10" operating base.
“... How's it going, from the West Factory, is there any progress?" Dior asked.
"Of course, the old man said it all, he didn't mean to hide it, it's just..."
"Just what?"
"Only, at the end, he said, 'Presumably someone as smart as the eldest daughter of the Connor family would not have said this.'" I see this as a threat, my sir. ”
"That's the threat. Don't divulge anything about him, we're targeting "Scarr" and the real "Jack the Ripper". ”
After hanging up the phone, Dior exhaled and leaned back on the boss's chair with his head in his hands.
John certainly didn't expect Dior to make such a big fuss, which was not a bad thing for his experiment. But his goal has been achieved, and through the channels of Avar's mafia, he must have obtained a lot of voluntary "experiments", that is, orphans bought from Romania. When the experiment came to fruition, John immediately contacted one of his 'employers', Sir Blois. The poor creature who turned his daughter into a 'crow man' a few years ago because of regret, and now he has an opportunity to atone for his sins.
The results of the experiment have been so successful that the "Skar" company's overwhelming promotion has swept the whole of England overnight. While people were still doubting the possibility of this thing, it had already become a reality, and when the beautiful 'original' woman told her story on stage and claimed that becoming an "artificial human" had changed her life, the door to "Skar" was only broken by people who wanted to know about it today.
The Jack the Ripper incident after the Raven Man... If Sherlock hadn't been to investigate the crime with her herself, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been the slightest interested, and it would have only become one of the countless news stories she had seen in the newspapers. Again, after she intervened in the case, the situation changed. The invisible hand guides them to pursue the wrong clues again and again, or find a little clue, but they are replaced early and disappear. If you really want to take the perpetrator of everything to court, as Sherlock thinks, then the result can only be a bottomless quagmire.
... But Sherlock would have chosen a different path.
She will do whatever it takes to find out who is behind everything, and find a way to make the "mastermind" public. Of course not, if only a little, she would make the air of London fresher, convince everyone that she was still "righteous", and convince everyone that there is still such a good thing in the world, and that she will give everything for it, even her life.
Where is she now?Dio left her desk and went to the attic, where the furnishings had not changed at all since she had arrived. She walked to the attic window, opened the curtains, and looked diagonally across the street. It was 22-B, and the lights were dim. Dior could be sure that Sherlock was not at home at this time.
Suddenly, there was a cautious knock on the door downstairs, as if he was afraid of disturbing the neighbors. Dio frowned and walked down the attic. Before she could leave the attic, someone 'broke in' and she locked the door only before she went to bed.
Perhaps knocking on the door was just to make sure there was no one inside, but Dior smelled a familiar comer.
“... Why are you coming here from the Department of Science and Technology so late? Mr. John Connor. Dior said coldly.
The visitor paused, shook his head with a wry smile, took off his hat, and nodded to Dio, who came down from the upper floor. However, he soon seemed to be stunned, because the Dior in front of him was really far from usual. The girl still wears Sherlock's dress, and she doesn't have time to 'take care of' herself, even though it's usually counterproductive.
“... Is the end of the world?" John pondered.
"You have the audacity to say anything astonishing that you dare to appear before me so openly and brightly, Mr. John Connor. Dio looked at the man viciously, if it wasn't for the gun pinned to her thigh, she would definitely pull out the gun and shoot the guy in the foot.
As for the neighbors... Who cares about that?
"I'm here to say something... It has something to do with Salia," sensing the dangerous gaze, John subconsciously took two steps back, swallowed his saliva, and continued without waiting for Dio to ask, "... You may not know much about it, but I learned some truth from them. This room..."
"This is the house where the fool once was, she has been here for almost her whole life, and only left here four years ago to become the adopted daughter of Sir Blois, is there anything else to say? ”
Dior has already issued an eviction order.
"Actually, Sir Blois was a prostitute in his early days," John said immediately, "and he threatened Sir Blois with a knife after the baby was left, saying, 'Let this child live in a world without us'..."
“... Don't tell me..."
"That's Saraya. And Sir Blois has always held a grudge against his early days, and Salia and Aisha are both her daughters, so that's why..."
Is that why the two are so similar? Dior smiled self-deprecatingly, not caring much about others, but instead became the fatal factor for her failure to find the key point. If she had noticed earlier, this matter might have been resolved... Also, Aisha is still alive.
"The one who is still in human form is Sharia, and the one who has become a crow man is Aisha. You know what?" said Dio, after a moment of silence.
"What?" John's surprise didn't seem to be faked.
"Sir Blois really loved his dead wife... Maybe it's just that I regret that I once had contact with a prostitute. Why does he love his daughter so much, but let the mafia easily enter his territory and kill his wife? No kidding... That's just a "substitute" again. Sir Blois's wife may have died long ago. ”
Yes... That would explain how much the Sir could do for Aisha. The actions of the mafia may have been only the acquiescence of Sir Blois, who allowed the mafia to enter his territory and let them kill his wife, so as to create the illusion that he and the mafia were at odds with each other, but in fact... They're just a passer. The Avar incident, the Raven Man incident, and the current Jack the Ripper incident make sense as long as it is analyzed like this.
"From the very beginning, Sir Blois had his eye on Saria, and it just so happened that both Saria and Aisha were terminally ill, and in order to find a cure, the Sir Blois 'took a risk' and used his daughter and his later wife... That is, Aisha did the experiment. In addition to the love for his daughter, the man... I also want to "resurrect" my deceased wife, who has long since died, which is what you call a "prostitute". I see... That's why there was the Jack the Ripper incident, which was a mafia drama, and I should have thought about it when I asked Kelly to go undercover..."
At that time, the mafia that Dior met in the bar was not the local London mafia. This is London, where you can often see the travelers of the Ming Empire, and only a very small number of local mafia figures related to high society in London can enter that circle and protect their mafia in this way, and it is impossible for them not to know about the "Ming Empire". And their identity... It should be the Manchester mafia.
This is not the sphere of influence of the mafia, and there should not be a mafia made up of immigrants here, except for a very small number of people related to high society who can enter that circle and protect themselves in this way. There is only one possibility for them to appear in the sphere of influence of the London mafia.
They're working for a big guy, and they're also involved outside of London.
