Haina's words startled Aivus.

Listening to her mournful tone, Ivas thought that Sherlock had burped early because of the butterfly effect...... As a result, he questioned again, only to learn that Sherlock was only injured.

But the exact circumstances were not clear to Haina - it was Sherlock who called her on his own initiative. Because Sherlock had investigated the Sweater Brotherhood before, she had already mentioned the alchemy bomb to Sherlock after reading the newspaper at that time.

However, Sherlock did not answer her doubts, only indicated that he was still alive but that she had to keep it a secret, and hung up the phone.

Eivers couldn't quite understand her explanation. So his first instinct was to call Edward to confirm.

"—yes, I know that. Yesterday afternoon, to be exact. ”

In the office of the Inspectorate, not far from the University of Law, Inspector General Edward Moriarty held the phone in one hand and signed his name on a piece of paper with the other: "It is basically the same time as the attack on our side, and it should be the group of the Noble Red Society." ”

“…… Mr. Sherlock was also attacked by a superior demon? Ivus was a little surprised.

So How did Sherlock survive?

"That's not — you go and give it to Deputy Chief Assad and let him do as I say."

Edward covered the microphone slightly in the middle of speaking, and handed the signed note to the person in front of him.

Waiting for the sound of the door closing, Edward continued to say to Ivus:

“…… Hermes was bombed. The apartment he rented had been blown up from the outside. ”

"Bombs? Is Mr. Sherlock alright? ”

Ivas was a little worried: "What about the amount of bombs?" ”

"It's a lot, it's basically a loop around his apartment. But the people who planted the bombs were clearly amateurish. He knew nothing about blasting techniques, and most of the power of those bombs was wasted and even clashed with each other. Although the house eventually collapsed, Hermes is still alive thanks to the help of Bishop Mathers. ”

Edward said slowly, suddenly covered the microphone and said loudly, then quickly lowered his voice and said a few more words, and then switched back: "Yes, I'm here, please come in - now he is not seriously injured, and he is still recuperating - hello, Miss Oujia." Minister Mir has already mentioned your husband to me in the morning, and we are deliberating on the next step in his sentencing and punishment......"

“…… Are you busy right now? ”

Ivas realized that his call was not coming at the right time: "Why don't you go home?" ”

"No, there are two sentences left. This is important. ”

Edward lowered his voice, "Anyway, don't go to his house." ”

"Why?"

"Because the news from his house is that he is dead—well, thank you for your understanding, ma'am—anyway, if you want to find him, go to the bishop's house. Oswald knew the exact address. ”

With that, Edward hung up the phone.

He does seem to be very busy over there. Sounds like they're dealing with a knight who has his home raided by the Inspectorate.

Perhaps because of the presence of outsiders, Edward's words became ambiguous. But luckily Ivas understood him...... Important news has been given.

The "bishop" Edward refers to should be Bishop Mathers. Oswald's butler knew the address of his house.

The Hermes family is supposed to be fishing in accordance with Sherlock's plan, and if Ivus goes, he may be exposed.

- Then I'm not going to get into trouble yet. Respect Sherlock's plan.

Ivus thought to himself.

He confirmed to Hasina, "Who did you tell Sherlock that was still alive?" ”

"I only told you, and then there's Director Kent."

Haina realized that the problem was serious: "What's wrong? ”

"It's okay, don't tell anyone about it later."

Ivas said in a deep voice, "Mr. Sherlock is preparing to fake his death. There is a high probability that the identity of the killer is questionable - it may be one of his relatives. ”

Haina nodded repeatedly, signaling that she understood.

It just so happened that tomorrow Ivas was planning to go to "Lady Mina's Fortune Telling". Now it looks like Sherlock is hiding there, so let's go and ask about the situation tomorrow.

Haina was a little distraught and didn't finish reading a few pages.

When Ivus finished her class in the afternoon, she sent Lily and Ivus back to her home as she had said, and then took her to the Inspectorate.

After Hayna left at noon, Lily secretly asked Ivus what kind of tantric book she should choose.

Ivas said at the time: "If you can, I would like you to choose a tantric book that is suitable for the path." Because I've got a gift ready for you. But you're better off choosing the one that resonates with you the most. ”

"In that case, I think the most suitable one for me would be the Tantra that adapts to the path." Lily replied without hesitation.

Lily clearly valued the opportunity that Ivas had helped her earn.

She was originally a valet without a surname. It's just that because she is an illegitimate daughter, she is not even allowed to study. And with Aihuas's efforts, she even had the opportunity to enter the Royal Law University...... You don't have to spend a penny, and you can still eat and live well.

And Ivas never beat or scolded her. Even if she is not in front of people, she is always kind and gentle to her. As if she wasn't a maid but her friend.

- Lily also knows that there is nothing wrong with Ewas's legs and feet.

Because on the very night that Raff's secretary was poisoned, Ivus went back to take a shower. Lily tried to help him wash it, as if he were at home—but Ivas just smiled and refused her.

Lily originally thought that Ivus was just stubborn, so she was very worried and stood by the whole time, watching him finish washing without blinking her eyes.

It turned out that Ivus was actually able to stand up!

She had heard Mr. James say that there was something in Ivus's shadow. As a result, it was only on that day that she saw with her own eyes what kind of monster was sealed in the shadow of Ivus......

So when Ivus pulled the assassin out of her shadow, she wasn't surprised in the slightest. It was very calm the whole time.

She was just feeling lost about something else - Ivas didn't actually need her to take care of herself at all, and his life wasn't as inconvenient as others thought. She's just here to work with Ivace's acting...... Or rather, it's because Ivas wants her to come to college, so he excuses himself that he needs someone to take care of her.

Lily was very keen to capture Ehuas's true intentions.

- Since her meaning is acting, then she has to concentrate on acting well.

That's when Lily stayed up all night, scrutinizing her role. She thinks about how she might be asked questions in what situations and how she should react. It is precisely because I have thought of many lies in advance that I will not panic when I use them.

Although Lily felt that she had no talent for the path of devotion or the path of authority, she was also studying hard. In order to one day be able to repay the kindness of Ehuas.

Evas probably saw that she lacked talent and interest in these two paths, so he did not hesitate to waste an important reward and help her choose the most suitable tantric book and forge her own path.

Lily, a well-read and well-read person in the kingdom of Avalon, certainly understands what that means.

Because of this, she didn't want to disappoint Ewass.

- Since Ivas hopes that he can embark on the path of adaptation, then the tantric book that best fits him must also be on the path of adaptation. Even if she changes her essence and personality, she will definitely be able to choose the book that Ivas wants. She looks gentle and quiet on the outside, but in fact she is such a flowing and unpredictable personality...... Such an intellectual and soft appearance is fabricated just because it is so flattering.

With such thoughts...... The book that Lily finally chose was indeed a tantric book adapted to the path.

It was a gray tantric book.

It's about two fingers thick, and it's almost the thickest of these generally thin tantric books. But its weight is almost non-existent, and holding a book is like holding a thin cobweb. It was as if it was going to fly one moment and disappear the next.

"The more it is in the hands of the people who recognize it, the lighter the weight becomes. When you don't usually look at it, remember to press it down with a heavy object. Lead plates are the best, and steel plates are fine. ”

With bronzed skin, a black blindfold, and scars that stretched all over his face, the one-eyed pirate Lord Kent advised, "Otherwise, it might disappear on a rainy day, like a moth that suddenly appears and disappears from home." ”

On the way back, even with Hayna's escort, Lily still carefully held the book the whole time.

It was only after bringing it back to Moriarty Manor that Lily finally breathed a sigh of relief and put her mind at ease.

Holding the book, she knocked on the door of Ivace's room. There was no response and no light inside - Ivas wasn't in his room, so he was supposed to go and play with Yulia.

So Lily took the book back to her room and burrowed into her bed. Because only inside the quilt can give her the greatest sense of security.

At this time, she solemnly opened the book.

The cover of the book reads "The Secret of Spider Silk". It goes well with the first impression of this book.

After opening the book.

Grayish, soft, light, dusty, rustling whispers crept into Lily's brain from her eyes, her skin, her nose, and her ears.

The voice called itself "we". It does not use any language, but a fleeting illusion. It's like looking at a blank wall, a fragile imagination that spontaneously springs up in your mind and will disappear at any moment.

"—We are the hair of a snake, the footsteps of a cat, the cage of a moth, the noose of a centipede."

That illusory voice has a secret name called "Spider Silk", born from the creation of "Gray Celestials", and the real name is kept secret. This book is about the sixty-seven secrets of spider silk.

As Lily read more and more intently, gray spider silk condensed around her under her pupils.

Like a silkworm baby cocoon, the spider silk gradually surrounded the girl who was focused on reading and shrunk into a ball, and finally silently formed a huge, quiet gray cocoon on the bed.
