Chapter 9: Sherlock Holmes and the Evil of Human Nature
"Coffee?"
Sherlock Holmes sat in the warm room with Yue Chen and Jack, and took out a pot of warm coffee from Yue Chen and Jack and placed it on the table in front of him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Yue Chen looked at his surroundings - this room should be the residence of Sherlock Holmes on Baker Street in front of him, because it was already late at night, so the landlady had already fallen asleep, so in order to avoid disturbing the other people who lived here, Holmes had to quietly bring Yue Chen into his own room.
However, although this room is very tidy whether it is the bed, the floor and the coffee table, but there is a very messy chemical experiment tools stacked on a counter next to it, it can be seen that the owner of the room is basically obsessed with chemical experiments all day long, and the bed is neatly stacked with bedding and a set of silk pajamas, there is no doubt that the man in front of him is the world's most popular detective who has crossed the world for a hundred years and can still be talked about by people - Sherlock Holmes.
"I'm sorry, but at least for now, I hope you'll be patient." Sherlock Holmes took a sip of coffee and said with a smile to Yue Chen.
"It's fine." Yue Chen shook his head, there was inevitably some excitement in his heart, although the Sherlock Holmes in front of him might be a little different from the image of Sherlock Holmes that he had always imagined, but he was still very excited to be able to really see him.
Holmes laughed, "Hehe, you seem to know me very well, don't you?" Kindness...... It's better that there's some kind of passion in your eyes. β
"Hmm...... Hahaha-" Yue Chen scratched his head and laughed, Holmes's observation power has been reflected in great detail in the original work, through a simple few words of communication and a short observation, you can judge the identity of the other party, where you have just passed by and even the specific address of the person who came, and the observation of human beings has almost reached the peak of the times, even if it is said to be a monster-level observation.
[Indeed, known as the most talented super detective in the Victorian period of Britain, even if he has the ability to deduce a case that others have no clue without leaving home, and at the same time he has known that the 21st century is one of the most popular characters in the world, Sherlock Holmes ......] Kong Ming said, [I didn't expect that Sherlock Holmes, who was supposed to be a fictional character, is actually a real character, and history is really a wonderful thing. γ
"Hmm, Kong Ming, it feels really strange for you to say this kind of thing."
"But it's really strange, I'm confident that I will never misunderstand anyone's identity, but I'm a little unsure of your identity." Sherlock Holmes said with a smile, "You don't see any characteristics related to this era, in fact, you don't have to think about it at all, just what you wear has a sense of incompatibility with this era, not the dress that any country should have, and you also have a slightly different English accent and grammar from now, could it be that you are from the future?" Hahahaha. β
".................." Yue Chen has nothing to say, Holmes has already guessed to this point, how else can he explain it?
Sherlock Holmes also knew that this was not something easy to explain, and continued: "Okay, then I won't continue to ask, but although I can't know your true identity, it seems that you already know a lot about [Jack the Ripper], as a person who is not a magician, but you can calmly face the child made of resentful spirits, and ......"
Sherlock Holmes turned his gaze to Jack, who was sitting on Yue Chen's lap, and continued, "That should be the so-called Servant, the heroic figure that existed on Valhalla summoned in the Holy Grail War. β
"Huh? Does Mr. Holmes know about magicians and followers!? Yue Chen raised his head in surprise and asked.
Sherlock Holmeston laughed heartily: "Hahaha, it's normal, after all, sometimes my job is also to deal with [another world], but these are only the knowledge that I can know on the basis of my understanding of the magic world, and I don't know much about things that are too esoteric." β
"All in all, the battle just now was really exciting." Sherlock Holmes comfortably put his feet on the soft ottoman in front of him, which was about the same height as the sofa he loved to use, and looked at Yue Chen comfortably on his back in his sofa, "But now that you have an understanding of [Jack the Ripper], then I will also start to explain." β
"Recently, I have also been commissioned by Scotland Yard to investigate the [Jack the Ripper] case, after all, the boy has killed several ladies in a very cruel way, to the point where it is impossible to ignore." Sherlock Holmes took a deep puff of his pipe, and a contemptuous smile appeared in his eyes, "I laughed at those incompetent policemen when I learned after investigating that Jack the Ripper would actually be a little girl, and now it seems that sending the assistants they sent away, is it really the right choice for me to go alone?" β
"It's a problem for the police to know about the world over there, and I don't think the police have a way to arrest that kid." Sherlock Holmes spat out a puff of smoke and said with a smile, "Condemning a wraith, even if I'm not very proficient in political science, can feel the absurdity of this unfolding." β
After Holmes finished speaking, he laughed as if he had heard some very funny joke, but Jack looked at the unpredictable middle-aged man in front of him with some meaning, not knowing why he had become so happy.
"Tomorrow you're going to fight [Jack] again, so get ready in my room before then, and rest for a little night, although the place may be a little small, but it's enough to rest your body and mind."
Holmes stood up, stretched slightly, walked to the door of the room, removed his usual outfit from the hanger, and buttoned the high hat to his head.
Yue Chen suddenly asked, "Wait a minute, Mr. Holmes, where are you going now?" β
"Go see an old friend, maybe he'll be of some help to Jack the Ripperβ" Holmes said with a smile, turning his head.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
London at night is always the best time to commit a crime.
Visibility is almost zero outside in a thick fog, and there are very few people still walking on the streets at this time, and it is in the middle of the night when the drowsiness is most inducing, and the police patrol is at its weakest.
There are not enough eyewitnesses, the perfect environment for the crime, and the laziness of the patrolling police, which makes it possible to commit the crime.
In one of the most secluded alleys in Whitechapel's district, the faint sound of a girl's laughter could be heard, accompanied by the sound of something being torn apart and water splashing around.
"So happy...... [we], so happy...... I'm so happy-" [Jack the Ripper] had a look of joy in his eyes that he had never seen before, just like a child who hadn't seen her parents for a long time was looking forward to learning that her parents were coming back to see her, "Mommy is coming back...... [we] can finally meet Mommy!" It's finally possible to go back to Mommy's body! [We] are so happy...... Very, very happy! β
Jack swung the dagger in his hand fiercely under him, and in an instant, he squeezed out a large amount of blood from the flesh under him, splashing it on her face and the surrounding walls, and anyone at the tragic crime scene would feel sick.
"Today...... It's already the second one...... But it's okay - [we] have to meet Mommy...... I want my mother to have no pain...... Yes, when we return to her bodyβ"
"What an innocent and beautiful evil thought." At that moment, a steady applause came from behind Jack.
"Whoβ!"
Jack suddenly turned his head like a kitten, and his sharp eyes locked on the man who spokeβa gentle middle-aged gentleman, with a kind smile on his face, and his gestures revealed a kind of cultivation and demeanor unique to the nobles, and the calm but majestic smile on his face made him even more affable.
"Don't panic, little girl." The middle-aged gentleman smiled and said, "I am attracted by the pure desires and simple evil thoughts that you exude, no...... It should be said that the kind of [evil] that exists in you is more dazzling than the diamonds in the world, which fascinates me deeply, and the simplicity, sincerity, and unreserved exudes the light of evil, and only such existence and only such evil can make me truly respect. β
The middle-aged man bowed to Jack gently, which made Jack feel a little inexplicable, but for some reason, the child named [Jack the Ripper] suddenly felt that although the man in front of him showed a very respectful and humble posture, he did not show any humility, but showed the reserve and majesty that he should have as an "evil nobleman" or as a "criminal emperor".
This makes Jack want to be wary of men, but because of the man's powerful majesty that seems to have the ability to lead, he instinctively wants to give up his guard.
"However, you are not yet mature enough as an evildoer, so it should be my duty, little girl...... No, ma'am, can you please appreciate your face, and let me come down and teach you how to achieve true evil? β
The middle-aged man smiled, that smile seemed to have a kind of magic, making Jack involuntarily want to get closer to the man, she gently pulled out her dagger, let the blood of her second prey tonight continue to drip down the dagger to the ground, she slowly walked towards the man, and suddenly showed an innocent smile.
"If you accomplish evil...... It can make mom like [us] even more...... Do you love [us] even more? β
"Of course, I vouch in my name, the little girl (the ripper) who is born of the baby's resentment! Your sins will surely make your mother more cheerful (angry) and will love you even more! β
Jack's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, yes, she wants to learn from him, in order to meet her mother tomorrow, they must become sharper, they must become sharper, they must become more sharp, they must become more, more, more perfect [evil], if not, they are not qualified to see their mother!
"Looks like I agreed." The middle-aged man said gently, bowed to Jack, and raised his head again, the kind and gentle smile on his face was dyed with a hint of evil, but it made him even more charming, "Let me introduce myself to you again, [Jack the Ripper], the murderer under the foggy night, is an evil path that pursues evil, pursues darkness, and pursues the ultimate evil of human nature - the most vicious evil in Britain, Moriarty, James Moriarty. β
"Let me use these hands stained with extreme sin to make the evil of your humanity, which shines as bright as the stars, bloom even brighter than the sun!"
The man named Moriarty, the Emperor of the Criminal World, stretched out his hand to Jack the Ripper, representing the sins of humanity.
