Chapter 599: The Last Case (Jack the Ripper Exits)

Charlotte, who had been prepared for a long time, was confident at this time.

He said to Jack the Ripper, who was still trapped in the dream he had created,

"While I have made a plan to hunt down your followers, I have considered the question of whether you can take the opportunity to invade my consciousness space in turn. ”

"Honestly, I can't guess. ”

Speaking of which, Charlotte shrugged,

"Still, I'm prepared for it—"

"Manipulating the body indirectly through dreams, camouflaging a false space of consciousness is certainly one way. But just in case, I also directly connected to the source of the magic of Sherlock Holmes after its release, and introduced its magic into this dream I prepared. ”

"That's why I say that this dream space is also the wall world of Sherlock Holmes - although there is no real wall world in it, the source of its magic is the same. ”

"And it is precisely because of the magic of this detective, who is diametrically opposed to you, the god of serial killers, that I can trap you in this false consciousness space or dream. ”

"And the newly summoned mother and son of Sharon Tate and her daughter are my last line of insurance for what you will do if you don't step into this trap. ”

"I see!"

Now, the trapped Jack the Ripper is no longer struggling,

"But even so, you can trap me at most, you should know that an evil god like me cannot be completely destroyed. 」

Jack was still smiling sadly,

"And if you want to trap me, you need to concentrate all your strength—if you slack off, I'll be out of it. 」

"That's right. 」

Charlotte did not refute,

"I'll tell you all this, though, essentially, because of the detective's magic - after all, according to the rules of detective stories, we have to finish everything we need to say - so that the villain can die completely. 」

"You—"

"And, although the god of serial killers can indeed be said to be immortal. But Jack, your own existence is not like that. 」

Charlotte points directly to the heart of the matter,

"You are a half-goblin transformed from a living person, and the human part can be killed. And once you're dead, even if Jack the Ripper is summoned again as the God of Serial Killers, it's not you anymore - I'm not wrong about that, right?"

"That's true. But—"

Although Charlotte pointed out his biggest weakness, Jack the Ripper still has no fear,

"Even if it's my human part, you're afraid you can't kill it. After all, as the embodiment of sin, my power comes from the dark side of the human heart, and even in your heart, such a part exists - unless it is an angelic existence without any darkness in your heart, you can at most weaken me, but you can't kill me. 」

"Really?"

Charlotte was noncommittal.

He paused for a moment before continuing,

"Jack, have you seen The Last Case from Sherlock Holmes?"

"The Last Case!?"

Jack the Ripper reacted at once, and he said in disbelief,

"You don't think—"

"Or do you think I summoned Mr. Holmes out just to follow your tracks?"

Charlotte said with a smile,

"Isn't that overkill, isn't it, Mr. Holmes?"

"I've thought of it a long time ago......

In Charlotte's consciousness space, the voice of the English gentleman Sherlock Holmes sounded,

"However, just like falling down a waterfall with Professor Moriarty in 'The Last Case', dying with the most heinous criminals is, in a way, an honor for detectives. 」

"Aren't you afraid of death, Sherlock Holmes?"

At this moment, Jack the Ripper really panicked.

However, in response to him, it was indeed the hearty laughter of Sherlock Holmes,

"Jack, unlike you, I'm a virtual person, the embodiment of a god! What's more, in my story, there is also the story of the "Return" series—— even if I die with you, I won't lose my current memory or anything - the next time someone calls, it will still be me!"

"You !!"

"A true detective doesn't die, he just fades into the wind......

Charlotte made up for it in time, and said in a random and deep voice,

"Excuse me, then, Mr. Holmes!"

"It's my pleasure!"

The scene in reality is not so simple -

Just after Charlotte confirmed that she would borrow the power of Sherlock Holmes to eliminate Jack the Ripper, a miniature whirlwind formed in the entire room, centered on Charlotte's body.

Under the influence of the whirlwind, both Sherlock Holmes and the Baskerwell Hound were instantly swept into Charlotte's body.

Sharon Tate and her daughter, Mary, once again turned into a cloud of smoke that enveloped Charlotte.

As for the red-clothed ghost, it has temporarily returned to Charlize's body.

Coupled with Frances Farmer, Alexis and Rivan who were guarding Charlize's side, the extraordinary power in the entire "Baker Street 221B" seems to be centered on the couple Charlotte and Charlizer, forming two centers of yin and yang.

A powerful invisible force is constantly moving throughout the room, as if the Taiji diagram is turning faster and faster.

All the beings in the room, whether living or ghostly, had the feeling that time had stopped.

However, Auvilia, who was held in Charlize's arms, was still asleep, as if she was not affected at all.

"This girl will definitely become a big man when she grows up!"

At this time, Alexis was in a rare mood to complain.

As Ovilia's mother, Charlize has no heart to pay attention to her daughter at this time.

She stared intently at Charlotte, who wasn't far away.

- It was her husband after all.

With Charlotte as the center, the smoke slowly changes and gradually shrinks.

And with the contraction of the smoke, the mana storm in the entire room gradually subsided.

Eventually, the smoke spreads again, and Sharon Tate and her daughter Mary, as well as the Baskerville Hound reappear.

However, at this time, their bodies were a little more condensed, closer to Alexis' current state.

Charlize, who had been taught the principles of spells by Charlotte, naturally understood what this phenomenon meant-

"It seems that their strength has increased!"

Charlize muttered to himself.

At this time, Charlotte finally opened her eyes.

The light in his eyes flickered, not intimidating, but with a sense of alienation like a god.

This made Charlize a little worried.

"Charlotte!?"

She tried to shout.

"Don't worry, Sally, your man is still your man!"

Charlotte's mouth turned into a familiar smirk.
