Chapter 50: The Appearance of Sherlock
The calm surface of the sea was suddenly lifted by an invisible force, and the entire surface of the water was distorted and deformed, finally revealing the behemoth lurking underwater.
Its appearance made the whole sea unstable, and this piece of iron, which was ten times as long as a blue whale and three hundred meters long, set off a wave of incessant waves, and the Amberino, which had been leaning against it, was like a leaf floating on the surface of the water in comparison, and could be overturned by a huge wave if he was not careful.
As dark as the walls, like a huge block of iron carrying darkness, it was adjusting its orientation in front of the Amberino.
Tatsumi and Kimji, who were still on the Amberino, were holding on to the ship's iron cables while looking at the two words "I・u" on the black iron wall, and several people except Kana showed sudden expressions.
"So, is this the real body of I-U...... Submarines hidden under the surface of the sea are independent of the powerful armed forces of the countries of the world. Although Tatsuya got a lot of news from Riko, Riko didn't know much about some secret things.
"This is...... The nuclear-fueled submarine that once became the Vostok has disappeared in the last thirty years, ah......," Kinji said, using the knowledge he had gained at the Armed Reconnaissance High School, while analyzing the shape of the submarine.
"Not bad...... This is a nuclear submarine with strategic-class missiles that can orbit the world and strike at each other. This is what the professor has captured, and it is used as a base for I-U. Kana said as she lay on the deck and looked at Kimji.
"It's not just the possessor's strategic nuclear weapon, but the scarlet bomb is also a nuclear weapon in capability...... It's terrifying...... The power that I-U controls. Tatsumi said as if sighing. Although he already knew the power that I-U possessed, Tatsumi also felt an unspeakable pressure. His current strength is far from enough to resist this, facing the missile, Tatsu can only avoid it, if it really falls into the core explosion area, Tatsu will not be able to avoid death.
"No...... We can't fight against I. U...... The only thing that can be done now is to talk to the professor about ......", Kana stood up from the deck after the waves had subsided a little.
"Professor, stop, we didn't ......," Kana ran to the front of the ship, outstretched his hands and shouted as if to explain something. But in less than a second, Kana was hit by an invisible force and bounced back.
Kana's long braid waved in the air, and the whole person fell backwards, and Kinji hurriedly caught Kana upward. But blood continued to burst out from the wound on Kana's chest.
"Kana!", Kimji shouted loudly as he looked at Kana, who had been pierced by a bullet in the chest.
And when Kana fell, a burst of thunder seemed to come from afar.
"Invisible bullets...... The man actually used this technique with a sniper rifle...... How could it be ......", Jin Ci raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, but he was stunned.
One looked to be in his twenties, tall and tall, with a carefully outlined hooked nose and square jaw. In his right hand, he holds an ancient pipe that has turned into the dust of history, and in his right hand he holds a strange walking stick.
This man is none other than I. U's leader, a famous figure, a former famous detective.
“...... Great-grandfather!", Aria said in a tone of disbelief and a somewhat hoarse voice.
Tatsuya exclaimed in a low voice...... This guy standing in front of them...... It's Sherlock Holmes I!
"Not only is this guy not dead...... Are you still alive until now...... And become the leader of I-U, and still hold the power of the scarlet bullet ......", Chen's pupils also contracted slightly, trying to carefully identify this former detective.
At this time, Kana was dying, and Kimji had an anxious expression on his face, as if he was irritated by the situation. Aria looked at her great-grandfather blankly, not knowing what to think.
It seems that the person who once put the blame on her mother was her beloved great-grandfather, which put her in a state of emergency.
"Squat down!Aria, we're being attacked!Do you want to be shot by a gun!", Jin Cijue Yaria's strange appearance, holding Aria's slender wrist downward. Aria sat on the ground as if she had lost her control, and if Kinji usually treated her like this, Aria would have yelled at the hole and scolded Kinji. But at this time, she completely lost her usual look.
Kim Ci was holding Kana and wanted to do some first aid, but was interrupted by Chen's words:
"Konji...... It seems like...... Something is coming towards us...... I can't stop ......," Tatsumi said with a helpless look on his face, and in his perception, two tall shuttle-like objects detached from I-U and struck at the Amberino where they were sitting. If Tatsu was still in the state before he fought Petra, he might be able to block and deflect those two missiles a little, but after fighting Petra with all his might, Tatsu didn't have the strength to face the attack from I.U. The large consumption of spirit and body has put Chen in the worst state of coming to the martial arts high school for half a year.
"That's ...... Not good!", Kinji finally noticed two white tracks on the surface of the sea, approaching here from the shallow sea.
Almost the next moment, there was a vibration from the bottom of the ship, accompanied by two explosions.
"Shot!", Kimji muttered. At the same moment, the water column soared into the sky, and a lot of sea water surged up, as if to overturn the half-crippled cruise ship.
A sound came, this time from the direction of the snow. Originally, she was leaning against the golden coffin, guarding Petra, but the earthquake and the sea water just now made it impossible for her to stand normally, and the golden coffin was opened at the same time.
"Shirayuki! there's a lifeboat at the stern of the boat!, put that one down!", Kimji shouted urgently, and Tatsumi on the side also went over to help when he heard it.
And while Tatsu and Shirayuki were working hard at the stern of the ship, Petra, who was unguarded, saved up from the golden coffin, only to see her tumbling down to the deck, and rushing to Kana's side despite her scattered head.
"Jin Yi! Jin Yi!"
Petra's eyes glistened with tears, and she put her hands on Kana's wound, which bloomed with a blue-white glow. Even a layman like Kim Ci probably guessed what Petra was doing.
Petra should have a secret technique of healing, but looking at her sweaty face, Jinji knew that without infinite magic, she couldn't do something with magic as easily as before.
Just as the ship of the Amberino was billowing with smoke, making it impossible for the outside world to see it, an astonishing wave of magic came from the front of the ship, and the scale was so large that Tatsumi and Shirayuki, who were still in the stern, went to the ship.
A little white glimmer emanated from the smoke, and these things shone like jewels in the light of the flames.
"This is...... Ice and Dust Secret Technique!", Chen exclaimed as he looked at the white ice crystals in the smoke. Tatsumi originally learned the secret art of manipulating ice from Joan of Arc, and at that time Joan of Arc asserted that he was the only one who did not learn the secret art of ice and dust through Joan of Arc's bloodline. And now, Joan of Arc's assertions have long since turned into a pile of bubbles under such huge fluctuations in magical power.
In an instant, a vortex of ice and dust separated the smoke screen from the wall of fire, creating a passageway.
Sherlock, who had just stood on the bow of I-U's ship and looked down at them, walked over step by step with flickering ice dust flying around him.
Beneath his feet was a golden staircase, between the drift ice and the Amberinu. Countless tiny pieces of sand gold flew in the air, mixed with the sparkling ice dust to release a dazzling light.
"Not only can you use Joan of Arc's Ice and Dust Mystery, but you can also use Petra's Shakin magic, and even Kana's invisible bullet and Vlad's longevity...... It's a 'professor' who has gathered all of I'u's specialties," Tatsumi sighed as he felt the power of ice and sand coming from Sherlock's body.
"I-U is a place where geniuses are gathered, where they are endlessly learning from each other, teaching each other techniques, and the one who finally appears is the complete body with all the powers, this is the 'professor'......", Kinji looked at Sherlock who came on the ice dust, as if he had lost his mind.
"I've deduced that this time has come—" Sherlock's first sentence made Kimji stunned, a little confused about what he was about to say.
"I've already guessed what happened now, of course, Kana, or rather, Konchi Toyama, your thoughts are also expected by me", Sherlock announced to Konchi Toyama as if announcing the answer to the test question.
"It seems that there are quite a lot of people here--the Scarlet Witches of the Far Mountain House and Xingjia, and the Desert Empress and--", Sherlock glanced at the few people on the ship, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Chen.
"Treasure hunter - what a surprise, my presence makes me curious. Sherlock glanced at Chen a few times and said with some surprise.
"It's always coming, there's nothing to be curious about, isn't it?It's not impossible for someone you didn't expect, right?", although Tatsumi didn't have much strength at this time, he didn't flinch even in the face of a character like Sherlock.
Sherlock didn't communicate with Tatsumi again, but looked at Kim Ci and Kim Yi and said:
"Although you should all know me, unfortunately, there seems to be no one on the scene who can introduce me to you, so please let me introduce myself-", Sherlock's words were very polite, but there was a different aura in him that made it impossible to refuse.
"—I first met, I was Sherlock Holmes. Although his image has appeared countless times in movies, novels and comics, it is a bit surprising when it comes to actually facing him.
"Aria", hearing Sherlock's call, Aria came out of his dazed thoughts and sat upright facing Sherlock.
"You were once treated as a crane tail and a defective product for the Sherlock Holmes...... The days when one's own ability is not recognized by the family must be very painful. However, I can restore your reputation. You're my successor, and now—I'm here to meet you. Sherlock whispered, apparently concerned about Aria's situation.
And now Tatsuya finally has some eyebrows about this incident, Aria is the successor of I-U, and Petra wants to hold Aria hostage and wait for I-U's position, but unfortunately he was defeated by Tatsu and several people. However, this qiē is estimated to be in Sherlock's calculations, so he also uses this opportunity to take Aria back.
"I won't have to face Sherlock later......" Tatsumi thought helplessly as he watched the gradually stagnant atmosphere. This feeling made Tatsumi feel very uncomfortable, and he had no strength to face a powerful enemy, so he could only be at the mercy of others.
"Let's go...... Come to me, Aria - so that your mother may be saved", Sherlock's words made Kinji gasp. He looked at Aria, but her eyes were wide open, different from the stunned look she had just looked.
Aria stood up, her steps trembling as she thought about Sherlock's walk, and Sherlock took Aria directly into his arms.
"Let's go—that's your I.U," Sherlock said with Aria in his arms, jumping up from the deck and stepping on the golden staircase towards the black I.U.
"Summer ...... Locke...... , you wouldn't think of it...... Even if it pierces my heart, it won't stop me!", Kinichi Toyama, who had been rescued by Petra, stood up, tore off the equipment he used to disguise himself, and stood up in a pitch-black shirt.
Tatsuya looked at Jinyi who stood up, this was the first time he had seen Jinyi Toyama under a male appearance, and as expected, he did look a little similar to Jinji. He still had blood running down his chest, but it was much better than it had been at the beginning.
"No, don't stand up!Kimyi, your wounds haven't healed yet!", Petra said eagerly.
"That's enough!Kinji!Rush up with me!" Kinchi said to Kinji, holding his pistol.
"Big brother...... You...... Could it be a dying explosion?" Kim Ci recalled the different names of the explosions he had mentioned when he was at war with Vlad.
"You know...... Now is not the time to discuss this, let's rush forward!" Jin looked at Bai Xue, who was about to stand up and walk with them, and whispered:
"You don't have to come along! In the face of Sherlock, your abilities are useless, because he himself has mastered the nuclear fuel, the scarlet bomb...... The crimson bullet that Aria just fired can be used by the professor!"
As soon as Kim finished speaking, he rushed to I-U with Kim Ji and disappeared into the drift ice on the sea.
"Can they bring Aria back?", Shirayuki still remembered the powerful magic that Sherlock had just shown.
"If Kim Ci and Kim Yi can't bring it back...... ...... then", Petra said to the two who were moving away, not knowing what to say.
"I hope they can bring it back, the ability of the three of us to deal with Sherlock is probably useless, right?", Tatsumi remembered what Jin Yi had just said, and said as if sighing.
"If it's just capacity...... It's not enough to compete with the power of the scarlet bullet, right? Maybe, that thing can interfere?"
Tatsumi remembered the scene on the pyramid and thought with some doubts.
