Chapter Seventy-Two: Lucy, a Girl Who Lost Too Much Blood
"According to the location of the explosion and the location of Dracula's real estate in London provided by Jonathan...... "Sherlock Holmes spread a thick stack of essays on the table, which were accompanied by hastily printed black and white photographs, and behind him hung a map of London, each of which was circled by him, "Although Jonathan's memory is not very stable and cannot fully correspond to the location of the explosion, most of them still match." It can be seen that the 'Ghost' does have the location of Dracula...... I had asked someone from Scotland Yard to help me investigate the law firm that represented the property...... It turned out that I was careless. Even though I didn't directly mention the relationship between this and Count Dracula, the 'Ghost' still got his hands deep into Scotland Yard. There is hardly any trustworthy organization in the whole of London, not even the Royal Gendarmerie...... I think there will be inner ghosts in it, too. β
"Is that why Count Dracula's coffin was destroyed......" Professor Van Helsing looked at the messy texts, he was in a hurry to pick up a cigar but didn't have time to light it, "It seems that I did underestimate the disgusting Cheng dΓΉ of those scum scum, and gave up all the honor of being a citizen of Great Britain for the sweetness of 'immortality'?" β
"Stupid......," Edrian also commented, "those mortals who can't do blasphemy and drink holy blood, and who are not virgins, still want to become vampires...... what kind of immortality can 'ghosts' give them?" It's just that the words of the ghoul are not so much immortal as rotten living. β
"The other thing is that these people from the church have met." Professor Van Helsing put down the text in his hand, after all, it was difficult to draw any conclusions from the delayed information now, and he continued, "Maxwell, the presiding judge of the 'fanatics' heresy inquisition, has already logged in London...... How did they come about, and can't our Royal Navy of Great Britain not even look down on a small English Channel? β
"Don't think about it...... Holmes also shook his head helplessly, "The news of the home fleet has been intermittent, and the Portland base has basically not been replied to." Our Majesty is even considering moving to Edinburgh for the time being, and with the exception of a handful of Scotland Yard police and the Royal Gendarmes, London is almost an undefended city. β
"Do the citizens know what is going on?" Hearing this, Professor Van Helsing's face was slightly ugly.
Holmes sighed, took out his pipe, and lit it, he began to remember the days when he had the occasional dose of cocaine, which at least made him feel much more relaxed, and then he said, "How do you ask the cabinet to issue orders...... The legendary vampires and monsters, werewolves, and the church are going to start a war of gods and demons in London? What can this say do other than make citizens panic...... Some nobles in the House of Lords even thought that they should let them fight, and after the fight, they could go back to London, and it was impossible to demolish the entire city of London, right? β
"Even the 'fanatical believer' set foot on English soil...... There is a real possibility that the City of London will not be protected. As the only witcher in England to mention the service of royalty, Professor Van Helsing regretted why he hadn't expanded his power into a larger, official demon hunting agency...... Of course, this is also what he never thought of before that there would be a big demon like Count Dracula on this British Isles separated from the European continent, after all, most of the terrifying demons are gathered on the European continent, where the power of the church is maintained, and it will not threaten Britain at all, so there is no large enough and professional supernatural treatment agency in the entire United Kingdom. If this crisis can be successfully resolved, Professor Van Helsing decides to write to Her Majesty the Queen and set up a demon hunting order exclusive to the Anglican Episcopal Church.
"People of the church...... Especially the Inquisition, they're all crazy......" Richard said with a frown, "We Belmonts tried to work with those people when we fought against Dracula in Romania, but they couldn't be reasoned with...... Even ordinary mortals who had just accidentally come into contact with Dracula would be burned alive at the stake by them......"
When Adrian heard Richard's words, he couldn't help but show a sad and slightly angry look, thinking back to his own experience, he really didn't have the slightest affection for the people in the church.
"Can't we let the church and the 'ghost' people fight each other with Dracula first, and then we can make a profit?" Ma Shuangcheng asked.
"If you don't care what happens to London...... This is indeed an option. Professor Van Helsing looked at the team and said, "But this is something I don't want. β
"But we don't care!" Zhu Jue said indifferently, "Otherwise, we can just give that Mina directly to Dracula, and then let him go wherever he likes." β
"Jonathan will look for you desperately......" Fortunately, Jonathan is now accompanying Mina, who is a little weak, otherwise it is likely that the young man will really fight with Zhu Jue, "And this situation is ...... Do you think that even if we want Count Dracula to go back to Romania happily. With the count's temperament, could he tolerate the man who destroyed his coffin? That's the last territory of a vampire...... And the people of the church will just let the earl go? β
While everyone in the room was pondering what to do to avoid the worst, Jonathan entered the room with Mina, who had an unusually ugly face.
"What's wrong, Little Joe?" Zhu Jue looked at Jonathan's hurried appearance and said, "Have you finally made up your mind to bring a little green on your head and give Mina to the rich and handsome Eastern European tyrants?" β
Jonathan didn't care much about Zhu Jue's words, after all, he couldn't understand such a tongue-twisting sentence, he just said to Professor Van Helsing with a nervous face: "Professor...... Mina, fearing that the friend who had invited her to borrow during this time would worry about herself, asked one of your servants to bring her a message, and the result was ......"
Mina's face was also a little pale, and her blue eyes were misty because of sadness: "Professor...... Lucy...... Lucy she died......"
"Lucy?" Professor Van Helsing was a little surprised when he heard this, and he knew a little about this Lucy, after all, he had been monitoring Mina in order to confirm the whereabouts of Count Dracula, and he naturally knew that Lucy was Mina's best friend, and even took Mina, who was lonely after Jonathan left, to his family's manor. Because he wanted to ensure that Mina's safety was not threatened by other people with intentions, and after rescuing Mina from Dracula, he let the girl stay in the Hesin Mansion with Jonathan for the time being.
"Lucy, she's been sick lately because of anemia...... But the news just came that she had died of blood loss. Jonathan patted the sad Mina on the back, "Do you think it will be ......"
"Leak...... Zhu Jue also looked at Mina sympathetically, and then said, "So...... Women with developed secondary sex characteristics are so unsafe...... Don't you usually supplement red dates, ejiao, brown sugar water and the like? β
"You have a little eyes, aren't you......" Linn ripped Zhu Jue away, then looked at Professor Van Helsing on the side and said, "This is a vampire?" Did those guys actually keep an eye on Mina early in the morning? β
