"What!!" Moran panicked all of a sudden: "Yes, I'm sorry!" ”

"I don't accept your apology, now, do as he did!" He angrily pointed to Sherlock Road on the opposite roof.

Moran nodded hurriedly, didn't dare to say a word more, picked up his master and jumped to the opposite side.

In this way, these four men ran all the way on the rooftops of London in a relationship that was extremely strange and extremely strange.

Naturally, many other things happened during this period, for example, because the Pontifical security personnel were not familiar with London, so they contacted the local Metropolitan Police Department and asked to find the whereabouts of the Holy Son together.

But at the same time, there were 13 robberies, 5 kidnappings, and 21 traffic jams across London.

So that the people of Scotland Yard have no manpower to help find the Son.

What's even more strange is that these robberies are all caused by demons, several hellhounds run out of the void cracks, roar at the bank clerks, and some open the door of the vault from the inside, and at the same time consciously use the dog's paws to press the alarm button under the bank manager's desk, making them look like repeat offenders.

But they just made a big scene, called the police, but didn't really rob the money.

Nonsense, what can a few dogs out of hell do to grab money? Go to the pet store and buy dog food?!

As for the kidnapping cases, it is even more bizarre, several men and women who are kissing in the street are tied to the treetops not far away, or hung on the abandoned gas pipes above the road, and even a couple are tied face to face, anyway, they are not tied to any abandoned factories, and no one makes blackmail calls or asks for ransom, but the location where they are tied is very annoying, passers-by can't reach it, and it's dangerous to want to help, if you don't send a few policemen, you just can't complete the rescue.

And after being rescued, I heard this group of frightened little couples say that they were tied up by several soft, sticky 'tentacles', and when describing the tentacles in detail, they repeatedly mentioned words such as 'very thick, very long,' and so on. The police officer who heard the inquiry was confused, and no one could explain the matter in the end anyway, so he could only be regarded as being scared and insane.

Oh, by the way, Director Lestrade at Scotland Yard also received a phone call directly to his desk, and a voice inside said briefly:

"Don't mix it up, be honest and maintain your law and order, or you will be fired!"

This unpleasant voice, Reestrade could hear who the other party was in a second.

He sat behind his desk tossing and turning, swearing, completely unaware of what was going on, but eventually transferred all the people who had helped him find the Son. I have to say that he can climb to this position in Scotland Yard, he has a much more sensitive sense of smell than those people like the Pope of pure blood.

In this way, on the day of Holy Love, the whole of London fell into a kind of absurd climax, but it was precisely because of this absurdity that the people who had been suppressed for many years found some kind of channel for release, the fireworks did not stop for a moment, the sky over the Thames was reflected as daylight, some contradictory couples hugged each other angrily and kissed, and the old rivals who usually quarreled when they met finally dared to talk about fists and beat each other, and then went to drink together with blue noses and swollen faces, and finally fought again because they rushed to pay for the wine.

As someone who would not notice said on a certain night, this day of love will be the most special since the beginning of the calendar.

As night wore on, the situation around the Cathedral of Oaklanddo finally calmed down, as the High Priest of the Temple of Light, tired of the chaotic shouting around him, opened his mouth lightly, and stopped everyone.

Immediately afterward, he slowly stood up, stood in the center of the high platform, and then, under the gaze of all the complicated eyes, said with a smile:

"Don't look for it, I had the privilege of meeting His Highness the Holy Son once fifteen years ago, and he is one of the few people I have seen in my decades of life worthy of admiration, whether it is thought, vision, courage, or responsibility.

Since this is the case, it shows that His Highness the Holy Son has his own considerations for leaving

And the maid beside him is a rare combat genius in history, so with her, His Royal Highness the Holy Son will not encounter any danger.

Then there is nothing left to worry about, and I hereby announce that the grand ceremony of the Day of Divine Love, here.

It's over! ”

He spread his arms and showed some kind of weird impassioned stance.

But the people below are a little dazed. Because they don't understand at all why the Day of Divine Love can be successfully concluded.

Where is the consummation?

The Holy Son ran away, the Holy Maiden was gone, the two of them did not join hands, there was no blessing, and they didn't even lift the veil, this is a complete fart.

In fact, everyone can see that the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden do not seem to like this grand festival, and who is the person who rushed to the high platform, his identity seems to be extremely special.

Wait a minute

In the crowd, someone suddenly thought of something!

No, wasn't the Holy Maiden appointed by the Holy Light, so what does all this mean?

Could it be said. Was the Light's prophecy wrong?

The moment this idea was born, this person suddenly felt an incomparable panic, and even almost fell to the ground, and this panicked thinking seemed to be somewhat contagious, and several people around him saw his frightened eyes, and instantly thought of something, and couldn't help but cover their mouths in horror.

How could the all-knowing and all-powerful Light of the Holy Light go wrong?

As a result, more and more eyes were turned to the high platform and to the great priest.

He is from the Temple of Light, and he is the closest person to the Light in this world, and naturally he is also the one who knows the Light best.

And he doesn't seem to be flustered at all now.

"I know what you're thinking." The Grand Priest looked at the increasing attention from the audience and said with a smile: "It is impossible for the Holy Light to go wrong, this is an indisputable fact.

In the centuries of service of the Temple of Light, we have proven this in countless ways.

In fact, in the past few hundred years, even more incredible things have happened, but in the end, the conclusion is. The Light is still right, but we, as small human beings, have misinterpreted the meaning of the Light, and that's it. ”

He said with a smile

And under the high platform, some people still can't understand, and they start to look at each other, trying to seek some answers from each other's eyes.

finally

"Think about the original meaning of the Day of Love.

[This day is the 20th birthday of the Holy Maiden, His Royal Highness the Holy Son will meet the Holy Maiden, and he will join hands with his beloved to experience the wind and rain together and accompany him for a lifetime. 】

So, there is nothing wrong with the Light

Because the prophecies have all been fulfilled!

What the monarchs here do not understand may be that the Son and the Virgin are not hand in hand. But the Light never said from the beginning that the Son's beloved must be a Holy Maiden!

It's just that in the past few hundred years, countless saints have chosen to pour their love into the Holy Son when facing them.

And the Son also chose to accept this love in the face of devotion to the Light.

It's just that everyone thinks so, and it becomes some kind of convention, and no one doubts it anyway, and it is impossible for anyone not to believe in the guidance of the Light, so everything is just the self-motivation of those of us who are ignorant.

And daring to break the common perception of the whole world is also a kind of love.

Then, as I just said, His Highness the Holy Son is truly worthy of someone whom I admire. ”

After a moment of silence, suddenly, someone asked in a very small voice, "But if that's the case. So what is the meaning of the Holy Maiden? ”

The Grand Priest sighed helplessly, as if he was discussing a very simple question with a group of unenlightened people:

"Don't you understand? I said, don't question the Light.

Since she was ordained as a saint 20 years ago, the moment she was born, then she is a saint, and her existence must have meaning, maybe sometime in the past, maybe sometime in the future, or maybe she herself will set off an extraordinary wave.

In short, a saint is a saint! ”

At the same time, on the banks of the River Thames, Sherlock and the other four stood on an embankment, looking at the bright fireworks that kept rising and exploding in the sky.

"I said you ran away so directly, is it really not a problem?" Sherlock asked.

Moriarty stood at the front of several people, looked up at the sky, and replied lightly: "No! ”

"You escaped the ceremony of the Day of Sacred Love, so many people watched, you said no, you won't?"

"I am the Holy Son, I said no, I won't!" Moriarty still said lightly, as if everything would be as usual when he returned early tomorrow morning.

"Okay, okay." Sherlock was too lazy to mess with this arrogant fellow, and if he could keep it down, he would be happy to be free.

"But I'd like to know, what's the relationship between the two of you?" Moriarty turned and looked at Mrs. Hudson and Sherlock a little confused.

Because of traditional rules, the first meeting between the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden was when the veil was lifted, so he did not know any information about the Holy Maiden.

"I want to know what the hell is going on with you two!" Mrs. Hudson's tone was unkind.

She didn't know how she had such courage, maybe she felt that His Royal Highness the Holy Son was just a thin man about the same size as herself, and her physical strength seemed to be inferior to her own when she ran all the way down:

"But I'm tired and I don't want to explain, and I don't want to listen to your explanations, I just want to lie in bed and sleep well now."

When she came down this day, she was first abandoned in public, and then she ran for most of the day, and now she is very unhappy!

And this unhappiness was clearly written on his face, so that none of the two big men on the riverbank wanted to touch this moldy head.

"Okay, when do you want to talk, let's talk about it again, that's all for today, I'm tired too." Moriarty said it so lightly, as if he had done it, but it was nothing more than an indifferent farce.

At the same time, when he said that when he was tired, there was a rare hint of relaxation and happiness in his tone.

"Do you have a cigarette?" He asked again.

"No, there is no time to buy it along the way." Sherlock spread his hands.

"Okay. I'll probably be in London for a few more days and come to me if there's something to do, you know where I live. ”

In this way, the men were separated so simply, and Mrs. Hudson called a carriage, which seemed to have the intention of going back to Baker Street, and Sherlock pondered for a moment, trying to see her back, and by the way about his own rent, but the other man slammed and closed the door of the carriage.

It seems that the landlady's mood is indeed very bad, and the reason for the woman's bad mood must not be determined by reasoning, so Sherlock can only secretly admire the coachman's good luck, if he knows that the person sitting in his car is one of the most powerful women in the world, it is estimated that his future fare will have to rise.

riverside

After the two left, Moriarty did not leave immediately after, but continued to blow a somewhat cold wind.

Tonight, his mood was so complicated that he himself couldn't figure out why and how it all happened.

Moran stood behind him, quietly staring at the back that seemed so thin to her, while not bothering as usual.

That's when it happened

Moriarty suddenly smelled a choking smell, which he was not unfamiliar with, the kind of cigarette that Sherlock used to smoke.

So, he subconsciously turned his head.

Then I saw a lame old man on the riverside.
