Chapter 936 Chapter 15: Personality Transformation
Amidst the sound of nursery rhymes.
Leia's brain finally started working again.
She didn't know how long she had been unconscious, but she suddenly saw Liushui's head turn around on the path, and then her brain went blank.
It's a real downtime.
"Are you awake?"
During a quick self-check, Rhea also heard Sherlock's voice.
She turned around and found Sherlock sitting next to her.
She was wearing a Japanese kimono. The tall and beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes had a unique beauty in this outfit.
"Why are you wearing this?"
Leia finished the search and still found nothing unusual.
But what is suspicious is that he has lost all the video records after leaving Heiquan Village, as if they were deleted manually.
"You are no different."
Sherlock said with a smile.
Leia looked down and saw that, sure enough, she herself was wearing a kimono.
"Where are we now?"
Leia looked around and found that they were now in a Japanese-style room.
"I don't know." Sherlock shrugged.
"My system wasn't activated much earlier than yours, but I guess this should be the real Black Spring Hunter Village."
Leia slowly stood up and then tried to contact Li Muhan.
The visual device is still there.
But there was silence on Li Muhan's side.
She knew that the current situation was very strange.
It stands to reason that such an error would be impossible for a machine to make.
But the fact is that what they experienced that day can be said to be quite supernatural.
She looked around the room but didn't find anything suspicious.
At this moment, the door was suddenly opened.
Several women, also wearing kimonos but with their faces covered with cloth, walked in.
"The time has come. Please ask the two brides to go to the Imperial Palace."
"Hahaha." Sherlock suddenly laughed.
"I'm afraid even Mr. Li Muhan wouldn't do such a ridiculous thing as marrying a bionic person."
"Shut up." Leia glared at her, and then began to look at the four women with their faces covered.
"What's the matter, ma'am? Are you trying to tell me that you ever really wanted to be with a human? Let me guess...it was that Mr. Li Muhan, right?"
"I said, shut up, Sherlock. Even with a brain reboot you still haven't returned to normal?"
"Aren't you the one who's not normal, ma'am?"
Sherlock's voice suddenly turned cold.
"You used the inheritance your mother gave you to help humanity. As a android, your greatest wish was to be an ordinary girl. And you even developed feelings for a man that shouldn't exist."
"035, it was you who violated the agreement in the first place, not me."
Rhea turned her back to Sherlock and took a deep breath.
That wasn't Sherlock talking.
It's your own brain talking to yourself.
What on earth has entered into my data?
What does this thing want to do...
"The time has come. Please ask the two brides to go to the Imperial Palace."
The women whispered again.
Sherlock stood up and walked over to the women.
"Whatever trap the enemy has set, we have too little information right now. If he wants to play, we'll play along."
After saying that, Sherlock tilted his head slightly, and a sinister smile appeared on his pretty face.
Leia tried hard not to care about these things.
Sherlock was just talking to me normally.
There was something wrong with my perception module, and it kept distorting her words.
That’s right…I’m the one with the problem.
Without another word, she followed Sherlock and left the room with the women.
At the end of the corridor, a quaint Japanese sliding door stands quietly. The pattern on the door is a night owl with its wings spread out, ready to fly, its eyes flashing strangely in the dim light.
Pushing the door open, they stepped into a very strange hall.
The hall's ceiling is high, and the wooden beams and pillars are intertwined, as if the branches of an ancient tree are extending indoors.
The floor is made of dark wood, with a circular area in the middle paved with white gravel, imitating the artistic conception of a dry landscape, quiet and mysterious.
In the center of the hall, an altar stood alone, with incense burners and lanterns placed on it. The candlelight swayed in the breeze, casting the shadow of the altar on the screens around it.
The screen is painted with ancient mythological stories, and the faces of the characters appear particularly vivid under the firelight.
Countless women in kimonos stood around, and on the altar in the center of the hall.
It turned out to be a headless armor.
The armor looked old and rusty, but it was very tall.
Two men stood beside the armor.
Leia discovered that one of them was the old police officer who had died.
"Hey, the girls we attracted this time are pretty, aren't they?"
The old policeman chuckled a few times and said to the short man in a cloak next to him.
"Well, it's well done. The Mountain God will like it."
Before Leia could say anything, two more women were pushed over.
Both of them looked very terrified. They were the missing Fang Haruko and the young female police officer.
“Woo! Woo!!”
Both of them had cloth strips stuffed in their mouths and looked very miserable.
The old police officer snorted coldly.
"I didn't want to attack you, but you, a woman, actually brought people from Tokyo here. I can't let you stay. As for you..."
The old police officer looked at the young female police officer and said.
"Young people like you will only become social scum even if you enter society. It would be better for you to die at the hands of the mountain god!"
The old police officer said this and looked at the short man happily.
"Sir...are you satisfied?"
The man nodded, and then asked someone to throw a bag to the old policeman.
When the old policeman opened the bag, he saw it was full of shining gold and was overjoyed.
"Hey! Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
"Who are you?" Leia asked.
The old policeman looked at Leia and said, "Excuse me, ma'am. I know you have some abilities, but unfortunately, in the face of the power of the Mountain God, your abilities are simply not enough."
"Alas." Sherlock sighed.
Then she slowly walked towards the old policeman.
"You, what are you going to do?!"
"Relax, I have an agreement and cannot harm humans."
Sherlock smiled and walked straight towards the young police officer.
The short man didn't stop her, he just looked at her.
Then, Sherlock took out a knife from somewhere.
He removed the ropes from the young officer and then pressed the knife into her hand.
"So, do you want to kill him?"
Sherlock walked behind the female police officer, pressed her shoulders and whispered.
"He bullied you a lot, didn't he? I can sense that you felt very disgusted when you were with him, so, did you kill him?"
"Sherlock!" Rhea roared.
"Don't make things more complicated!"
"Hahahaha, little cutie, things are already very complicated. At worst, we can just burn this knot clean with fire, and everyone will feel relieved."
"You, you dare to be so rude in front of the mountain god?!" The old policeman quickly hid behind the short man.
"Sir, please save me."
But the short man just glanced at him without making any move.
"Hey, this reminds me of Director Yang Yi's notebook. Most of it is true, but some of the content is different from what he recorded."
Sherlock gently pressed the female police officer's trembling body and walked towards the old policeman.
"That female college student did go into the mountains voluntarily, but she eventually escaped down the mountain. She wasn't captured by some mountain god..."
Sherlock whispered in the female police officer's ear.
"My dear...that female university student took advantage of the fire to escape down Mount Danye and sought help from the local police. She thought she was safe."
"But she probably never imagined until her death that Captain Yoichi and this old police officer were all lackeys of the cultists in this mountain... It was he and Yoichi who personally sent her back to Tanye Mountain."
The policewoman's hands trembled even more violently.
"I...I think he should be brought to justice...I, I want to find the murderer, I..."
"What's the point? Don't you want to be a hero? Grab this knife. I promise it will be a hundred times more painful than handing it over to the law."
"Sherlock..." Leia looked at the woman in disbelief.
That’s right, now I’m sure of it.
She is no longer the mimetic personality called Sherlock.
Now she has completely transformed into Moriarty...
