People are in the moon, The Sims

On the bell tower of the college, Home looked at Holmes collecting dust with a thoughtful look on his face. He put down the telescope in his hand, and the professor standing aside opened his eyes, "Well, Holmes is a very interesting person, right?" .”

The expression on Holm's face was very calm, "He has the potential to become an excellent detective. Are you planning to train him? To cultivate an opponent, but also to cultivate an existence that can firmly tie you?"

The professor turned his head to the side and did not answer the question directly, "Who knows, maybe I just want to make the world more interesting."

[The professor did not answer my question directly, but I do not intend to continue to discuss it in depth. 】

[No. 6’s performance exceeded my imagination. After completing his obsession, he exited cleanly, which also proved that the self-destruction device I added to the corpse was also very effective. 】

[Speaking of which, Holmes is also an interesting person. He actually took the dust that No. 6 turned into for various inspections, and even went to meet the angel on the battlefield, Nightingale. 】

[But unfortunately, that angel is not from the mysterious world, but as the number of corpses continues to increase, magicians will always notice clues. 】

Chapter 174: Magicians, churches, frost wolves, and brotherhoods are all here!

[For me, school time is not that interesting, but it makes me understand better what kind of group human beings are. 】

[Ten years later, the 28-year-old Sherlock Holmes gradually became famous as a detective. During this period, the number of corpses I created finally reached more than three digits. 】

[And most of the zombies turned into dust after completing their revenge, and there were even those who clearly confirmed the existence of death, and suddenly appeared in front of everyone, killing the people who had taken action against them in full view of the public. existence, eventually turning into fly ash in the sunlight. 】

[It is precisely because such things occasionally appear in the public eye that legends of vampires and werewolves have become more and more popular. 】

[I don’t know, I occasionally encounter cases like this, which must give him a headache. 】

[In 1888, Jack the Ripper appeared. How to describe that child? He is just a resentful spirit who longs to return to his mother's arms, but is twisted by love and hate. 】

[It was precisely because of the Jack the Ripper incident that I saw with my own eyes the actions of people from the so-called Brotherhood and the Temple Church. At that time, I began to carefully prevent the large-scale spread of the zombies. 】

[During this period, there were also magicians who deliberately set traps to attract my attention, but I punched them and sent them to see God. Aren't these guys always talking about mystery? God is probably the biggest mystery. 】

[Before Jack the Ripper appeared, I had not stayed in Oxford all the time. Whether it was in various parts of the UK or Europe, I was traveling everywhere and observing the world. After all, the appearance that has never changed is important to me. It is also a serious limitation, after all, it really attracts the attention of magicians. 】

[During this journey, while making corpses, I felt the tranquility of my soul that I had never experienced before. 】

[During this process, I occasionally felt the so-called self. 】

[At the same time, Sherlock Holmes became more and more famous during this year, and many of the detective techniques he wrote were also very popular. It was precisely because of the activeness of this great detective that the professor's dark empire was suppressed to a certain extent, and even followed that There are clues that the professor is no longer completely hidden in the darkness. 】

[I can feel the professor’s increasing pressure and contradiction. The old man is walking step by step into the darkness. As the years go by, our relationship becomes more and more like a father and son. , but also slightly drifting away. 】

[Because of our identities, we cannot be like real father and son after all. 】

[In early 1890, I received a letter from a professor. He told me that there seemed to be a large number of corpses gathered in a certain area of ​​England, which had attracted the attention of the British mysterious world. 】

[This is an extremely abnormal thing. If someone hadn’t deliberately summoned the corpses, it would be impossible for the corpses to be gathered together. Especially since I have been wandering around Europe for these years and have not returned to the UK to create corpses, the British The number of corpses should have dropped to double digits. 】

[After all, the corpse was created by me. Now that such an abnormality has occurred, I must return to check the situation. 】

[This is a village located deep in the forest, and there is also a bungalow converted from a castle. It was the territory of a count in the early years, but it is also an area that is not very open to the outside world. 】

[Although cars were born two years ago, they are of little use in this area now. After all, this place is so remote and has muddy roads. We still need to rely on horse-drawn carriages. There is not even a dedicated driver here. This car The carriage was specially purchased by me. 】

[In the carriage, I felt that many people outside the carriage have magic power. This is not a good sign. It shows that some magicians have attracted the attention here. 】

[Not only that, I also met a familiar old friend here. 】

Holm still looked like a young man. Through the blinds of the carriage, he could clearly see the scene outside the carriage, but outside the carriage, it was basically unclear what kind of light and shadow was inside the carriage.

Holm was not too eye-catching, so the carriage he chose was not of a particularly high-end grade. Therefore, it was somewhat difficult to move forward in this muddy area. One luxurious carriage after another ignored the road conditions. Driving quickly past Holm's carriage.

Two of the carriages caught Holm's attention. One of the carriages had a church cross pattern on it and exuded a faint smell of holy water. Even though he was not a ghoul, his essence was still the same. It's a moving corpse, and I still feel a little disgusted with holy water.

For those corpses, holy water can play a part of the destructive role. However, because the essence of corpses is only corpses, not possessed by demons or resurrected existences, the effect of holy water is relatively limited.

Obviously this is the carriage of the Holy Church, and things have really become troublesome. Holm sighed, gently arranged his clothes, closed his eyes and began to think about the course of action this time. If necessary, gather here. No corpse can be left behind.

Huh... After all, I just followed the principle of fighting evil with evil and gave these corpses a final chance for revenge. But if they went wrong, it was also my responsibility to deal with the after-sales.

The other carriage is a luxurious carriage made of silver and platinum. The carriage has a lotus pattern made of silver. It is really rare in this country to have a family decorated with lotus flowers. What is special is that On the door of the carriage, there was an image of a frost wolf looking up to the sky and howling.

There were even faint traces of hoarfrost in the area where the carriage passed, and the cold aura was spreading outward even if it was controlled intentionally.

Holm's mood became more and more heavy. If there were no accidents, this should be the Frostwolf family that had protected this country for thousands of years. This time, this remote area really had a gathering of heroes.

There were two young men on foot on the roadside. The girl among them was grabbing the boy's ears and constantly blaming him for letting the horse run away. If they hadn't been trained since childhood and their physical strength was not bad, this time The action will definitely end up being late.

The clothes on these two young men don't look very expensive, but they still have a somewhat holy feeling. The most peculiar thing is the hoods attached to their clothes, as well as the sharp blades and swords hanging on their waists. Decorative combination of scales.

Chapter 175: Reunion of "Old Friends"

The Assassin Brotherhood, under the current situation, this organization finally started to take action.

The mysterious empire that could affect the entire UK at once was something that even Holm himself had not thought of. After all, the changes of the times were not over yet, and the process of various families and organizations adapting to this era was not yet completely over, but more or less these organizations had also begun We have adapted to the wave of the times. Since we have adapted to the wave of the times, how can we not take action?

What's more, the behavior of the previous zombies was extremely simple. With a little statistics, you can understand that these dead beings are acting for their last obsession. Therefore, for the Assassin Brotherhood, as long as the actions of these zombies have not touched No matter what the bottom line is, there is no need for them to take the initiative to assassinate these dead reverberations.

But this time the situation was completely different. This time these zombies actually violated the principle of acting in accordance with their obsessions, so this time they had to send assassins to investigate.

After noticing that this action might be caused by the gathering of all parties, Holm silently took out the cosmetics from his pocket. Although some cosmetics in this era have strong chemical toxins, it doesn't matter, they are active in their own right. Corpses, is it possible that these chemical toxins can kill them again?

The fact that zombies will be killed by poisonous cosmetics is just like a big joke. It is better to say that the working fluid in their bodies will fuse with these cosmetics, causing the working fluid to mutate, and finally destroy the entire corpse. Turning into a crazy monster is more likely.

I'm afraid that the corpses here are so gathered that they are probably using cosmetics without being noticed.

Generally speaking, the zombies don't care at all that their skin is pale because of the lack of blood. In other words, someone is teaching these zombies how to hide themselves and how to change their lives. So who is the leader? Is it the young earl who just inherited the castle house, or is it an existence created by himself?

But fortunately, neither the magicians gathered here nor the members of other organizations, because of mutual restraint, did not directly attack the people in the town to see if these people were corpses.

If a magician or a member of the church came here alone, he would definitely be a little extreme and start taking action directly.

But right now, there are still two staunchly orderly parties, the Brotherhood and the Frostwolf Family. People who abide by the order exist. If the magician and the church do something extreme, the Brotherhood and the Frostwolf Family will not pretend that they don’t have it. see.

Even in the early years, some members of the Frostwolf family joined the Brotherhood, and the British Brotherhood and the Frostwolf family were considered friendly family friends.

As one carriage after another drove into the castle's manor, a masked attendant with a tray in his hand came to Holm's carriage. The moment the door opened slightly, he inserted the tray in his hand deep into the carriage. among.

"This guest welcomes you to the manor. Please present the invitation you received."

Since the professor had already arranged this trip for Sam, he naturally also prepared an invitation letter for him. However, this invitation letter was indeed a level lower than gold, but his level was not at all suitable for Sam. So important, after all, as long as you can successfully enter the banquet, your mission will be accomplished.

"The items being auctioned in this mask auction are quite special. Please don't be confused. In addition, this is your silver mask. Please wear it on your face at all times. On the one hand, it hides your identity and avoids unnecessary trouble. On the other hand, it is your silver mask. On the one hand, this will also be a certificate of your qualifications as an auctioneer.”

Of course, not everyone has such credentials. For example, some magicians use suggestion magic to lure them into the castle. They think that no one has discovered it at all, but the person who discovered it did not intend to do so at this time. Just spell everything out.

Holm looked at the silver mask on the tray and gently took off his glasses. In this way, it would be easier for him to distinguish between the living and the corpse. After all, the obsession and remaining soul that drives the corpse are There is no hiding under these eyes.

But just when Holm was about to enter the castle bungalow, the guards at the door stopped two people who were about to enter the castle. Of course, these two people could not be the pair of young people from the brotherhood, although the brothers Members of the society often disguise themselves to enter certain situations.

But more often than not, they will not forget the traditions of their predecessors, use hooks and claws to climb directly over the wall, and carry out operations secretly. Although the emergence of firearms has changed the form of war, it has also made cold weapons begin to become backward, but this does not It doesn't mean that assassins have to change their profession and become long-range shooters.

Perhaps in the future the brotherhood will start to issue firearms to everyone, but the current firearms are not of much help to the actions of the brotherhood members. On the contrary, the shortcomings are more obvious. The reason is of course the smell of gunpowder smoke and the strength of the firearms. sound.

Although according to the internal records of the Brotherhood, it seems that the founder of their Brotherhood had a frontal attack on the Jerusalem Cathedral. After all, it was hundreds of years ago. If you dare to make a frontal attack now, I might not be able to welcome you. They are the Musketeers, so their brotherhood has not done anything like head-on combat for a long time.

Until now, there are always young assassins in the brotherhood who want to learn from the great achievements of the first generation. The instructors in the brotherhood often slap the podium angrily and yell, "You learn from the first generation. Do you have the strength of the first generation? What's more? The first generation only fought one frontal battle! Have you forgotten the teachings of the first generation? We are assassins, assassins!!"

The meaning of this sentence is slightly different from what the first generation said at that time. What Ilan wanted to express was that although assassins are existences that bring death to people, they are by no means cruel officials who torture people. And now these mentors Discourse and prefer not to let these young people do anything like berserkers.

At this moment, Holmes and his assistant Watson were blocked from the door. Compared with Holmes in college, Holmes, who is now nearly 30 years old, has become more confident, and his weird feeling of being incompatible with other people is also slightly... Reduction, while already donning his signature detective suit.

The whole person is like red wine that has become more delicious over time, with a somewhat attractive temperament.

It's a pity that this temperament and the identity of a detective cannot help him go to any area he wants. For example, there is only one step away from the inside and outside of the door but he cannot move forward.

Chapter 176: Isn’t the purpose of detectives to pursue the truth?

"Let me tell you, Holmes, this is not a casual entry."

Listening to Watson's words, Holmes just closed his eyes. Of course, he knew that this operation might be blocked, so he had long been prepared to sneak into the castle from other directions. Although he was a famous detective , but it’s not impossible to make some sacrifices for the sake of the truth, such as climbing over a wall.

But even if you want to climb over the wall, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. The defense force here is much stronger than imagined, and this is the castle of a count. If you offend a count, it will be really troublesome.

Then what should be done?

"Hello, Mr. Guard, please let those two in. They are people I know. Just follow me."

The guard watching the door turned to look at Holm, his face still showing a bit of melancholy and worry. However, after looking into Holm's eyes, the effect of the hint magic took effect immediately. It was not a forced order, but a hint to what was in front of him. The guards, Holmes and Watson, who were standing outside the door, were by their side.

At the same time, the guard in front of him increased his recognition of his statement.

Before Watson could understand why the man in front of him wanted to help them, Holmes had already looked into a pair of gray eyes. Those dull and ruthless gray eyes instantly reminded Holmes of his college classmates.

After discovering so many clues over the years and setting his sights on the professor, Holmes thought of the professor's adopted son more than once, but he still couldn't be sure about the shy adopted son who seemed to only think about books. What is the connection between the shy young man and the dark empire?

Even later, when the young man traveled to various places and compiled some stories and picture albums for publication, he also bought one as a way to support his old classmates. The short stories from each region combined with the hand-painted scenery were indeed Very suitable as a leisure read.

Are such people really the ones behind those corpses?

"Detective Sherlock Holmes, it's been a long time no see. You probably came here without a purpose, but to be honest, you really shouldn't have come here. If you continue to move forward now, you may step into a trap of your own." A world that has never been understood in detail before.”

There was a faint smile on Holm's face. This smile was out of politeness and not too close. However, Holm didn't dislike Holmes that much. After all, the detective in front of him also wanted justice and fairness. Running around to catch the murderer to maintain order is no different from his own purpose.

It's just that his methods are more brutal, choosing to fight tooth for tooth, eye for eye, evil to fight evil. After all, it is almost impossible for an existence driven by obsession to let go of the person who hurts him. If the final result develops according to normal It must be the corpse who dies with the people who have hurt him.

In the final analysis, the reason why I would do this is because there are too few detectives like Sherlock Holmes.

In addition, Holmes is the last line of insurance that the professor has tied to himself. The relationship between Holmes and the professor and the entanglement between the two people, Holm has no intention of getting involved, not to mention that neither the professor nor the detective in front of him is. The kind of person who changes his goals because of a few words from others.

What's more, who can tell clearly about the so-called good and evil? As an evil person, using evil to fight evil, isn't this a good deed? As a good person, it is not a bad behavior to be unable to bring those who should be punished to justice, not to mention that in this era, it may not be possible for those who have done evil to truly receive the punishment they deserve.

After all, there was so much blood on his hands, and he was only there for his life. From this point of view, there was still some dissatisfaction.

When Holm's words fell into Holmes's ears, Holmes had already felt a bit of the meaning behind Holm's words. At the same time, the doubts in his heart were relieved. Sure enough, the adopted son of the man at the end of the spider web also He is not an ordinary person, so he really lost the incident in college.

It was Holmes who did not estimate the complexity of good people's hearts and was constantly exposed to the corpse incident. Although he still did not understand how the corpse was created, he generally understood that those who could become corpses were already dead corpses, and Most of them are really miserable people.

So the boy he saved from the bully in his memory must have lost his life in the end, and he looked like that the next day, which basically means that he and that boy were separated on the day they parted. There have been tragedies.

The most difficult thing to guess is that the words "people's hearts" and this incident were like a nail, firmly nailed into Holmes's heart.

But now that he is standing here as a detective, naturally he will not have the second answer!

"It's been a long time, Culus. As for the question you just asked, as smart as you are, you should already know my answer. The one standing here now is Detective Holmes."

And detectives are people who pursue the truth and solve problems. Now that the truth is right in front of us, how can we turn back at this moment?

Holm looked at the firm eyes of Holmes in front of him, and finally nodded. As long as the man in front of him didn't regret stepping into the mysterious world, that would be fine. The detective in front of him had experienced great storms. If he had just seen the mysterious world, it would be fine. It would be a bit ridiculous to fall into it and lose yourself.

"But everyone who enters the castle seems to be wearing a mask..."

In addition to the silver mask on Holm's face, a few people had golden masks on their faces. As for the others, the magicians who invited him and sneaked in randomly found a mask to wear on their faces. In any case, the mask seems to distinguish the guest's level and also prove the guest's identity.

Holmes closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then took out a bandage from Watson's portable medical bag. Thanks to the fact that they were going to the wilderness this time, in order to avoid any unexpected situations, they asked Watson to bring the medical bag. Otherwise, there’s really nothing you can do about the mask, so you can’t just grab it.

His face was wrapped directly into the appearance of a mummy, with a somewhat showy smile in Holmes's eyes. In front of his "old friends" from college whom he had not seen for a long time, this man still showed a bit of youthfulness.

Chapter 177: They are all crazy

Although this is a forested mountainous area remote from the bustling city, the various decorations in this castle still show luxury, and the buffet food at the banquet is extremely rich, but compared to the taste in Chinatown in the United States, The food that arrived was far from satisfactory.

Looking at the food mostly made of potatoes, Holm sighed softly. Thanks to himself not eating, it wouldn't have much impact, but compared to the food among civilian families, The food here is indeed excellent.

"Welcome everyone to my manor to participate in this special auction."

Just when Holm was thinking about whether to just take some French fries as food, the voice of the young earl came from the stairs, and beside him was a woman with a black veil on his arm. The two of them looked handsome and beautiful. Her temperament was extremely elegant, and in Holm's eyes, the countess's body was burning with the fire of obsession.

Obviously this countess is the corpse she created.

It's really strange that I don't remember which countess I turned into a corpse, nor do I remember which corpse's inner obsession was to become a count's wife. It's so strange that the countess in front of me has overcome it. Are you aware of the impact of obsession on yourself?

As Holm said before, he does not intend to create an immortal existence, so the fire of obsession is the biggest limitation for the corpse. As long as the obsession is completed, the corpse will return to death, and because of the push What kills the corpse is their obsession and a little bit of soul light. It is difficult for the reason of the soul light to suppress their own obsession.

Therefore, the corpse will give priority to completing its obsession, follow its own obsession, and finally complete its obsession and return to death.

The fire of obsession in the lady in front of her is not small and weird.

The lady seemed to have noticed something, so she looked around, as if trying to find the existence that made the fire in her heart beat violently. It had been too long, and no one could make him feel such a sense of crisis.

It can't be that their creator has rushed back from abroad, right?

As if feeling his wife's nervousness, the young earl stretched out his hand and held his wife's palm firmly. This also made the corpse lady strengthen her inner thoughts, and she would help her no matter what. My husband is mysterious in the real world, and he has reached a high position in the world!

After she completed her first obsession, she met her current husband by chance. The love that was suddenly born in her heart allowed her to temporarily suppress her remaining obsessions with reason and love. As long as the fire of your obsession does not go out, as long as your obsession is not completed, the fire of your obsession will go out very slowly.

By then, I will have a long life and grow old together with the young earl in front of me. Even because of my face that will never age, the possibility of being abandoned by the earl will become extremely low.

To a certain extent, this love in his heart has simply become another fire of obsession in the heart of the corpse.

As a corpse, she can help her husband naturally because of her identity. They are completely different individuals from the living beings. Although they are very similar to the reverberation of the living person, there is indeed something called "Self", there are always those who want to have a longer "life".
