Volume 1: Through the Demon Race Chapter 12: Chasing the Murderer in the Night

As soon as the guards swarmed up, they pressed Randolph to his knees, but he was still struggling desperately, and his face was full of horror that he was about to be killed, and Erin on the side had already been frightened by this huge change and turned pale, and all the three souls and seven spirits flew, she didn't expect all this to become like this, and she didn't expect Sherlock to be so ruthless, yesterday they just taught each other a lesson, but he ruined his own family.

In the end, Erin and Randolph were taken away by the guardians of the Emperor, and the family also fell apart in just two days, and it was already in decline in an instant.

Ford Heslett Mansion –

When the news came, Sherlock was feeding the carrier pigeon, Edvina looked at the other party's still pale face, and a trace of guilt passed through her heart, obviously the two of them were just fake cousins, in fact, they were not related by blood, but the other party would save her like that yesterday.

Sherlock looked back at her, as if at once he had an insight into what she was thinking, and stood up a few steps forward and raised his hand, caressing her face, ten fingers almost into her hair, thin lips on her lips like a dragonfly touching water.

"My servant is the only one I can bully."

Then let go of her and put her back in her chair.

Edwina still hadn't reacted, she couldn't understand what the other party meant, and she didn't know what that kiss meant, she was a wooden fish head.

At this time, the fiery red light of the sunset shines through the clouds as if to give the earth a layer of golden light, but at this beautiful dusk, a girl dressed in a fancy dress disappeared inexplicably on the way home, as if suddenly the world evaporated, and when the next morning a garbage cleaner came to clean up the garbage, he found a dismembered female corpse.

What's even more unbelievable is that one of the deceased's eyes has been gouged out alive, and even the tongue has been cut out, and Sherlock really wants to know why the killer took these things, and-

"The deceased was clearly infected with a type of hydrochlorofluorocarbons called hydrochlorofluorocarbons."

"HCFCs, isn't that a refrigerant?"

Edwina's face showed a very surprised look, and in the end, Edvina opened her mouth to ask this, but the black gentleman did not show much surprise, and still had a smile on his face.

"Yes, HCFCs are interstellar food managers often use a refrigerant when preserving food, but it is a toxic substance, so if this kind of thing is used on humans, it can easily cause death."

Sherlock looked at the deceased's papers, and saw that it read: Gender: Female, Name: Isabel Hudson, Position: Huppert Cafe Waiter,

"Is it possible for a waiter to get HCFCs? And the premise is that she didn't commit suicide, so there's a good chance the killer was a food manager. ”

If there is nothing missing in the handbag carried by the deceased, it is not robbery and murder, except for the eyes and tongue, which can only be revenge, or have other purposes.

He remembered that in the study room of the Emperor's Mansion, one of all the dark magic books was a curse, and any two things from the deceased were taken and burned so that everyone else who was related to the deceased would be cursed and all of them would die in just two days.

"It's just how did the murderer know all this, unless the murderer is someone from the emperor's side, this person must be able to enter and exit the study freely In addition to the emperor god and himself, there is only Arnold who tidies up the study every day."

Sherlock knew this person, Arnold was called to the food control department by the emperor because he made a mistake, so the truth of everything was about to come out, suddenly, in the grass behind him, a bright light flashed, and a short sword flew in the air, but it flew in the direction of Edwina, but the tip of the sword was only an inch away from the back of her neck, just when the man thought he had killed Edwina, but when he poked his head out of the grass again, he was shocked.

Edwina was still squatting there with a calm expression to examine the body, not at all looking like she was injured, what was going on, and just as he was shocked, a young man's voice sounded very familiar from behind him: "Arnold, how does it feel to be a murderer?" ”

Although this voice sounded calm, he only felt that his scalp was numb and then he was stunned on the spot, and before he could react, his right arm had been broken violently, and he couldn't help but let out an earth-shattering scream.

Edvina and the black gentleman were both stunned at the same time, what was going on, only then did they find that Sherlock was gone, remembering that the scream just now came from the grass in front of them, the two quickly got up and went over, but found Sherlock standing there with an indifferent expression, and it was Arnold who collapsed to the ground, but all his limbs were broken, and his face was as white as a dead man's face, and the corners of his mouth continued to overflow with blood, and his whole body convulsed.

"The murderer was caught, and he took it to the emperor." Sherlock finished speaking, and took the lead with his feet raised.

Edwina was almost stunned, and the black gentleman just smiled, "Yes, my lord." ”

In the Emperor's Mansion, the Emperor God was waiting for news from Sherlock, and at this moment, the guard walked in from outside and reported: "Emperor, Arnold has been captured by Count Sherlock. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sherlock walked in from outside.

The emperor looked at Arnold, who was tied up with five flowers, and saw that his face was covered with bruises, the bridge of his nose was broken, his left ear was torn off, his right eyelid was drooping, the corners of his mouth were blue, there was a shoe print on his face, and even his limbs were twisted, which was as miserable as he was.

Just as Sherlock was about to speak, the voice of the guard outside the door said, "The Emperor, Miss Violet is here." ”

"Violet? Sherlockβ€”" The Emperor was only halfway there, only to find that Sherlock was long gone, and the windows were still open, but he left Edvina and the Black Gentleman here.

Violet knew that Sherlock was here, so she sneaked out of the mansion, but she couldn't see Sherlock, but his two servants were still here.

Sherlock just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered that because he was hiding too quickly, he seemed to have forgotten Edvina and the black gentleman inside, and couldn't help but helplessly hold his forehead: "γ—γΎγ£γŸ." ”

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the direction to the left, and he thought it was an enemy, and drew his long sword and pointed at the visitor, only to see that it was Violet with a surprised face, and the tip of the sword was pointed at her throat.

"Violet?" Sherlock was taken aback, put away his sword, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Why are you here?" ”

Just after asking, he saw that the grass behind her was ambushed with a pistol, the man seemed to be aware of being discovered, and quickly put down the gun, but when he raised the gun again, he found that Sherlock had already carried Violet to the balcony on the second floor, and couldn't help but be stunned, but because this was the mansion of the emperor, he could only give up, otherwise it was obviously not advisable to startle the snake in such a way.

"I'm sorry." Sherlock let go of Violet, and after making sure the killer was gone, he said, "Let's go." ”

Just turned around to leave, but her wrist was grabbed by Violet behind her, and she couldn't help but turn to look at her, with a trace of puzzlement in her eyes.

A smile appeared on Violet's face, "Thank you, you saved me." ”

Sherlock was stunned, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "It's nothing"

In Julian's mansion, Karn went upstairs after all the housework, and happened to pass Helena when he was walking up the stairs, but the other party stopped beside him, with a sneer on his face, and his words were even more piercing: "Ah, isn't this our Marquis Karn, who does housework so dedicatedly, isn't it just trying to make your father like you, but there will be no hope in this life, and you will do chores all your life." ”

Karn paused and turned around, only to feel the other man's words pierce his heart like a sharp knife, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke, "I don't have such extravagant hopes. ”

As she was about to turn around and go upstairs, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the corners of Vina's mouth rose with a hint of pride, and then, Karn heard a scream behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that the other party had rolled down the steps like a log.

The whole person was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, the door was hurriedly opened from the outside, and Duke Isaac hurriedly walked in when he heard the screams, and just happened to see this scene, but he just looked at Karn with a shocked face with an angry face, but he didn't see the sneer on Vina's face at all.

Vena showed an extremely aggrieved look on her face, tears rolling in her eyes, and she looked at the other party: "Karn, I just saw that you just did a lot of housework and wanted to comfort you, why are you doing this to me?" ”

Karn was extremely surprised for a while, he looked at the other party in disbelief, and at the same time he admired the other party's acting skills, but no one would believe what he said now, Isaac comforted Vina for a few words, and then hurried upstairs and raised his hand to give Karn a heavy slap at his feet, and the whole person fell on the steps, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, which showed how hard the slap was, and his left rib hit the steps at once, and the pain was so painful that he could barely breathe.

Isaac pointed at him, already furious, and rebuked sharply, "Karn, how can you do such a thing, I warn you, if this happens next time, I don't mind using family law directly." ”

Then he went down the stairs and walked up the stairs briskly with Vina, the worry and distress on his face was not at all like the harsh words he had when he had treated Karn, as if he were a loving father.

Karn struggled to get up from the steps, leaned against the wall and went back to his room, locked the door as soon as he entered, crouched down against the wall and buried his face in his knees, and sobbed quietly, when a cold voice of a young man sounded above his head,

"What are you crying about, wipe my tears away, what is there to cry about, you swallow your anger, you look like a coward, humble, what you have to do now is to hold a sharp dagger and get rid of the people who hurt you, the people who trample on you, not cry like a lowly mouse."

After hearing this, Karn didn't care how the other party came in, but stood up and glared at Sherlock angrily: "How can a young master like you, who has been served at home since he was a child and pampered himself, have the qualifications to say such things?"

When he said this, he suddenly paused, and he didn't know why he couldn't say the next words.

When Sherlock heard this, his eyes became extremely indifferent, but he did not intend to continue, on the eve of Christmas, that is, on the day of his birthday, he was full of joy and thought that there was a most memorable birthday, but God played a joke on him when he was most happy, the betrayal, torture, and insult of his relatives, and in the three months when he was as dark as hell, he relied on the last shred of faith to pray to the gods, but the last glimmer of hope was dashed, and when he was stamped with the coat of arms representing the inferior, and the time of death was approaching, It was a demon who was saved from hell.

He only said, "We'll talk about it when you're ready." ”

Then vanished before Karn's eyes.

Instead of believing in those things that are unnecessary, it is better to believe in yourself, and instead of choosing tolerance and mercy, it is better to use weapons to eradicate the enemy who is in your way.

Karn actually knew a lot of things about Sherlock from Isaac's mouth, he just didn't think about it for a while because he was too angry, he didn't mean to say that kind of thing, but the other party told him to think about it and go to him again, but he couldn't get out now, how to get out.

Outside, Vena's commanding voice said, "Karn, pour a cup of tea into my room, immediately." ”

Vina sat on the chair in the bedroom, watching Karn walk in from the outside with a teacup in his hand, looking at the humble appearance of the other party who came and went as soon as he was called, she couldn't help but show a look of arrogance and disdain on her face, reached out to pick up the teacup, picked up the teacup and just took a sip, but her complexion changed, and as soon as she raised her hand, she splashed a drop of black tea on his face, and said angrily: "It's so hot, did you mean it?" Go out, just wait at the door of my room, I may call you at any moment. ”

Karn took the teacup and walked out the door, thinking that if he hadn't said that to Sherlock just now, maybe this servant life would have ended.

"Have you thought about it? Do you need me to avenge you? ”

Karn looked up in surprise and saw Sherlock's handsome and touching face, he didn't expect the other party to appear again, now he had decided, he really didn't want to live like a slave anymore, he stood up all of a sudden, raised his hand and grabbed the other party's shoulder, looking very excited,

"I figured it out, I can't take it anymore!"

Sherlock's expression was very cold: "As long as you are willing to sign a contract with me, I will avenge you, and in the same way, you will also have to pay the price, after the revenge is completed, after you die, your soul will only go to hell." ”

Karn nodded hurriedly, "I do!" ”

"The contract was signed." Sherlock finished speaking, and he was gone.

In the gloomy forest, Vina and Isaac woke up from a coma in a daze, only to find themselves in a forest, surrounded by twisted trees, ghosts floating everywhere, and countless crows hovering overhead, and the terrible cry made people's scalps tingle.

Suddenly, there was a "giggle" laugh behind him: "I can't escape, I'll be trapped here forever, hahahaha!! "It sounds terrible.

The two turned around suddenly, only to find a head hanging from a tree behind them, that hideous to the point of distorting face, Vina suddenly sat down on the ground in fright, the blood on her face suddenly faded clean, frightened to the point of discoloration, Isaac was obviously also extremely frightened, at this time they found that there was a human head with a hideous grimace hanging on every tree around them, which looked extremely terrifying.

At this moment, the young man's extremely cold voice came from all directions: "The game is over, how are you going to die?" ”

In an instant, countless hands stretched out and crawled all over the bodies of the two of them, and the hearts of Vina and Isaac were already desperate, collapsed to the extreme, and even more terrified, and the next moment, the two disappeared.

"Karn Julian, I have helped you complete your revenge, but after you die, your soul cannot enter heaven, you can only be taken to hell by demons, and you cannot live forever."
