Chapter 12: The Beginning of It All
Ten years later, in 1924――――――
Located on the map of the western continent, the Kingdom of Suval is a small European country bordering France, Switzerland, and Italy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Located at the foot of the Alps, St. Margaret's Lyceum is an educational institution for the children of the aristocracy and one of the most prestigious schools in the Kingdom.
It's a country that worships ghost stories, and the country has even set up a ministry of ghosts, which is enough to prove that the country loves ghost stories.
St. Margaret's School Park -
"Ahhh Why should I come to school? Yes? Are you bastards doubting my IQ? Lunas said that he was full of resentment that he still had to come to school with this group of bear children, and he was really afraid that one day he would really be unable to help but directly fill this school with VR spiritual gas.
"Now the experiment has just hit a bottleneck, so let's experience more about normal people's lives and inspire you!"
"It's hard for me to imagine any connection between going to school and my kind of work as research on murder weapons!" The spit is still so sharp.
"Anyway, this is an order, you just obey it obediently!"
"Yes~~!" The coping in the words is self-evident, the footsteps fade away, and a figure stands silently in a neglected corner, and the frightening thing is that even if this person is standing in front of you, it is as if he does not exist at all.
"Is that really good? You know, every part of this plan will have a big impact on the overall situation. Colonel Wayne asked in a deep voice.
"Why not? This is directly allowed by the Mutual Aid Association! The dark shadow didn't seem to care about the concern in Colonel Wayne's tone at all. Everything about him is not something we can control at all, all we can do is guide. ”
"Is there anything else in this world that you can't control?" Colonel Wayne's tone was very surprised.
"He's one of the few," paused slightly, "who made him Lunas von Moriarty?" ”
"Knock-knock-" The ancient clock tower rang the midday bell
Lunas was lying down the stairs with a large pile of handouts and lunch boxes, and now it had become Lunas's job to deliver meals to Victoria on a regular basis, and Major Bell had followed him a few times before, but gradually, Lunas found that he had neglected the deterrent power of thermal weapons in this era, and it was often the servants who felt the guns? At the familiar height, he would obediently put the lunch box on the ground, and then immediately fainted, waiting for Lunas to handcuff him with the handcuffs that had been prepared. Ever since Victoria moved to the library, Lunas has been lying on the stairs every day, not because he is afraid to use the elevator, but because he enjoys looking around at the books again and again, and on several occasions Lunas has found inspiration for his next experiments in these seemingly fairy tale books.
"Victoria!!" When Lunas reached the top of the tower, he saw Victoria rolling on the ground.
"Uh...... What are you doing? ”
"You're coming later than I expected, I'm bored," Vittoriga rolled in front of Lunas, getting up and counting Lunas as if he were so wicked.
"Hey! How can you be so sure I'm coming to bring you food? ”
"Isn't that obvious?" Victoria talks to Lunas as she straightens her clothes.
"That's what the Fountain of Wisdom told me." As she spoke, she crossed her waist like a little girl with a choked breath.
"Actually, it's like I'm a bully!" Looking at Victoria in front of him, Lunas suddenly felt that it must be a great feeling to scare her a little, and smiled evilly, "Tell you! I'm a mad scientist who specializes in horror experiments. ”
"I already knew!"
"What?"
"Isn't it obvious? Brought into the territory by a group of Germans through illegal channels, the tie is so neat, but there is a light green stain on the cuffs, and the copper salt may not be so easy to wash! And there is often a faint smell of chlorine on the body. It's not even muddy! It's so boring! "It's over, stealing chickens can't be a handful of muddy rice, and it's deeply despised.
"No one likes a woman who is too smart!" Finding that the necklace around Victoria's neck was turned to the back, Lunas put down the information in his hand,
"Look, if you roll around, the necklace will turn to the back," he said, trying to straighten the necklace.
Victoria suddenly bounced away like a frightened rabbit and shouted, "Don't touch it!" ”
Then pull the necklace back and hold it in the palm of your hand "This is... Something very precious -- very, very precious. ”
As he was talking, there was a sudden strange voice next to him, and Lunas followed the voice, but it was the elevator for the faculty and staff of the library tower that was running.
This old hydraulic elevator rudely made a "Gragra" sound, from far and near.
"Is it Gholywin......
Hearing Victoria's voice, Lunas reluctantly turned around and asked, I don't know why, every time he saw this drill man, he felt very unhappy.
However, before Victoria could reply, the man approached, as if to greet him with a relaxed greeting.
"Ah~ The weather is really nice today!"
Then one hand lifted the other arm and began to think.
"There's a little Hans cat here? Well, I'll give a long poem to little Hans. ”
Lunas puffed out his cheeks helplessly when he realized that the man was talking about him, but it only made him look more like a kitten.
"Last night, in a house in a certain village, the soothsayer Granny Roshan was killed."
After the man said this, Victoria's eyes suddenly lit up.
Lunas didn't know why, what does the death of a busker have to do with me? I had to turn to the Gruyn.
"Huh? What do you say all of a sudden? ”
The drill man continued his conversation as if he hadn't heard, but his tone was a little heavier.
"The soothsayer had an Indian maid and an Arab maid in the house, and the three of them lived together."
Speaking of this, he changed his appearance and continued: "Her granddaughter went to visit last night, and the case happened that night. ”
At this time, Victoria, who was standing silently beside Lunas, suddenly asked, "Why is the maid Indian and the maid Arab?" ”
The drill man gave a very cheerful answer: "The soothsayer likes exotic servants, and her Indian and Arabic are good enough for everyday conversations. ”
Suddenly, the man leaned down towards Lunas: "!! ”
