Locke's brow furrowed deeply.

As his exorcism card states, he was a trainee exorcist, and he didn't even graduate from Hogwarts not long after.

And this time the tracking of this demon agent is also his most important exam.

This is why he is reluctant to retaliate against Sherlock by exercising his right to self-defense, and why he takes the risk of choosing to cooperate with this man.

The real Great Demon is usually unable to come to the human world, because the human world has the rules of the human world. In addition, Hades will strictly control the entrance.

The only ones who can come to the world are some inconsequential little demons who possess humans and move forward.

Of course, those big demons naturally wouldn't be willing to just watch those little demons infiltrate the world.

Some of them will control some of the little demons to harvest their souls for them, while the other part will choose "dependents" in the human world through some kind of magic, which exorcists generally call agents.

They will give these agents some power to harvest their souls in the world.

These agents are in a sense easier to deal with than those possessed by small demons, because they are still human beings in nature.

Although there is a great demon behind it, the great demon cannot enter the human world.

But now it seems that things are not simple.

"Do you have anything in mind?" Sherlock asked.

"Perhaps. Is it to achieve some kind of magic? ”

Sherlock thought for a moment, and then, he seemed to think of something. His gaze began to search around, and suddenly, he focused on the map of Britannia hanging in the corner of the living room.

He plucked the map off and laid it flat on the floor, pulling a pen from his body as he pulled a pen from his body.

I started writing and drawing on the map.

"What are you doing?" Watson asked.

"Location." Sherlock whispered, "He's a taxi driver, he could have killed someone in a taxi and then drove to the suburbs, leaving people in a deserted place, why did he have to take people to such a downtown building?"

If he's in a hurry and he's afraid of being discovered, why don't he be more covert? ”

While talking to himself, he never stopped his movements, and kept writing and drawing.

Soon, the locations of the five dead people on the map were marked.

Sherlock observed the five points and began to calculate all the possibilities in his mind, and the terrain, the pictures, and countless images were rummaged through in his memory palace.

Although he obviously didn't know as much about the occult as Locke, his memory could be said to be terrifying. All the memories he had seen, related to the occult, all came to his mind, and they were eventually compared one by one.

At the moment, Sherlock's brain processes even more data than computers of this era.

Suddenly, his eyes burst into essence, and he leaned over the map and directly connected the five dots together.

Then he slowly stood up.

Watson and Locke both looked at the map.

A six-pointed star appeared on the map, a perfect six-pointed star, and even the ratio of length to length was perfect.

Hexagram is also known in the West as a great moon, or Solomon's seal.

The earliest Great Moons were recently discovered on a Jewish tombstone in southern Italy, and it probably dates back to around the 3rd century. The earliest Jewish record of the Great Satellite dates from the mid-12th century. At that time it was a motif on an amulet.

Jewish legend links the Great Satellite to King Solomon's seal. Legend has it that King Solomon had a ring that allowed him to command demons and ghosts, and that ring seemed to be the six-pointed star symbol.

Another legend says that this mark is related to King David's shield. Legend has it that King David had a shield that protected him. After the French Revolution, with the emancipation of the Jews, they chose the Great Satellite as their representative, just as the cross was the representative of Christianity. Today a large satellite is placed on the flag of a certain country.

There are similar signs in other faiths. It is possible that the six-pointed star was used earlier than the Jews in these beliefs. Today in Jewish culture it is used in the occult among other things. In astrology, the great star is also an important symbol. It is also believed to be the star that symbolizes the birth of King David.

Some Orthodox Jews oppose the use of the six-pointed star because of its association with "magic" and the occult. Despite this, the Great Satellite remains the most important symbol of Jewish legend and the Kabbalistic school.

"I know this sign." Sherlock said, "But I know that in your magical world, this sign must mean something else. ”

He looked at Locke, only to find that he was staring at the six-pointed star at the moment, his eyes filled with fear.

His breathing was a little rapid, and even his hands began to tremble slightly.

"What's wrong?" Sherlock asked.

Locke came back to his senses, his back and forehead were wet with cold sweat, he took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Do you know Solomon?"

Sherlock nodded.

"He made a pact with the seventy-two demon gods, and he made a pact with Baal of the seventy-two demon gods, and he lent the seventy-two demon gods to King Solomon and obtained his soul after his death.

But in the end, when King Solomon died, he used his body to make a trap for these demon gods and seal them away.

And this six-pointed star is the sign of the seal. ”

Sherlock nodded, "Sounds like something righteous." ”

"This is the symbol of the seal, so when the seal is unsealed, it must also appear." Locke said.

Sherlock and Watson opened their eyes in unison.

Locke looked at the woman lying on the ground, with a slight distraction in his eyes, "No, it's not almost, there must be something special about the souls of these deceased." ”

He looked at Sherlock, "Is there a fat man among the rest of the dead?" ”

Sherlock nodded.

"Gluttony." Locke muttered softly.

Sherlock seemed to realize what Locke was saying, and he said, "The fourth deceased was scruffy, with unwashed hair, unchanged clothes, and black mud in his nails. ”

"Laziness"

At this moment, Gregerson pushed the door open from the outside and said to Sherlock with the papers in his hand.

"We've found out the identity of this corpse."

"Let me guess." Sherlock looked up at Gregson, "It's a prostitute, isn't it?" ”

The words that Gregerson wanted to say were stuck in his throat. His face turned red, and after a moment, he said helplessly.

"You really don't know how to do prophecy?"

Sherlock didn't say anything, just turned his head to look at Locke.

"It's lust."
