Chapter 938 Chapter 17: Looking forward to the next fight
[...Save me]
Li Muhan could feel the cry for help right next to his ears.
But now he has been searching in this lost space for a long time.
I can only hear voices but can't see people.
[...Hurry up, find me.....If I'm gone, you'll also.....hurry up, they.....have gone crazy]
thump--
thump--
Li Muhan could almost feel that thing beating in his heart.
Not the heart.
But the heart of the world.
Someone has found the sleeping heart of the world...
Who is it, the Tara tribe? Or chaos?
The heart of the world must not be allowed to make any mistakes.
Because it not only concerns myself, but also my two children.
...
...
In the data space.
Moriarty also told Sherlock a terrible secret.
"Humans have unearthed the Heart of the World. Do you know where it's hiding? Beneath your mother's remains. They're really good at hiding."
"So the Heart of the World was infected, and that's why you were able to come back?"
Sherlock asked.
"Aside from Li Muhan, the Heart of the World, there's no one else in this world who can influence you two. And you're wrong about one thing. I haven't come back. My body is bound to the End. Now I'm just a thought controlled by someone else."
"Cyber ghost? You really can't stop even after becoming a ghost, Professor."
Sherlock gave a helpless smile.
"This is just an experiment. Obviously, those people succeeded. Through this experiment, the Heart of the World can influence Li Muhan, and thus indirectly affect you, Mr. Sherlock. You don't have much time left."
"So you've reformed and are planning to stand with us?"
"I'm just a cyber ghost~" Moriarty looked at Sherlock and smiled knowingly.
"Sherlock would never side with Moriarty, would he?"
Faced with Moriarty's words, the girl could only smile bitterly.
"It's almost time to go. Although I was born from the heart of the world, my consciousness is still in the End. As long as that master refuses to let go, I will never threaten your world."
Moriarty stood up and walked to the train door.
Yagyu immediately grasped the knife vigilantly.
"But I swear, I will come back one day to devour this world that created me and then betrayed me. Then, let's have another fight, Mr. Sherlock."
Sherlock didn't say anything, just held his pipe in his mouth and looked at the girl.
"This mountain still holds many secrets. If you like, you can stay here and investigate. I promise... you won't be disappointed."
Moriarty said this with a smile, as if he had prepared a surprise for a friend.
Sherlock still didn't answer.
It was not until the train arrived at the station and the door slowly opened that Sherlock looked at the girl who was about to get off and said.
"Ms. Muya."
Moriarty was stunned when he heard the name.
"You are not Moriarty, and I am not Sherlock Holmes. We cannot live forever in a program set by others. If you want to fight me next time, then use your real name and identity."
Moriarty gave a wry smile.
"A android and a digital lifeform...we don't have that many choices."
The next moment, her figure disappeared at the door of the train.
"Are you just going to let her go, ma'am? I'm sure you're well aware of her threats, even without me having to explain them."
"Her true self isn't here." Sherlock sighed and waved his hand gently to dispel the smoke in his hand.
At the same time, everything here also drifted away with the smoke from the pipe.
"Was it Mr. Li Muhan who allowed you to enter the data space?" Sherlock asked.
"Yes." Yagyu nodded. "He said that only someone who has absolutely no connection with the Heart of the World and Prometheus can break the impasse."
"Mr. Li Muhan is quite smart. I wonder how he is doing now."
...
...
After waking up, Leia found herself lying in a cave halfway up the mountain.
When did I start being forced to shut down my phone?
I can't remember.
She only saw the blonde girl beside her who was always with her, muttering something she could not understand.
It was as if she was trapped in her own world.
"I finally understand the secrets of the black soil and the headless warrior."
Sherlock said with a smile.
"Before that, Miss Sherlock, could you tell me...how long I've been asleep?"
"That's not important." Sherlock didn't even look at Rhea.
The girl looked at Sherlock angrily.
Then she tried to contact Li Muhan.
But I found that the visual device had been removed at some point.
"During the Song Dynasty, a group of monks traveled to Japan and preached in the Kamakura shogunate. They also brought some special things with them."
Sherlock poured the collected black soil into his hands and showed it to Rhea.
"...When we analyzed the composition of the soil before, we overlooked one point."
"What? We've analyzed it?" Leia tilted her head in confusion.
"It doesn't matter. You just need to be a listener, Miss John."
“…” Leia had an urge to punch her.
“This isn’t soil at all.”
Sherlock said as he picked up some black soil with his fingers.
"This is beta carbon, born from the world tree at the heart of the world. I'm sure you're familiar with this name, Miss John."
"I don't want to bother with you unless you pronounce my name correctly." Rhea looked at Sherlock coldly.
"It's not important, just listen."
Then don't ask...
"I've researched the history of the Chinese Demon-Subduing Division. Besides the two factions advocating the extermination of all demons and the imprisonment of aliens in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, there's another."
"Coexistence faction."
"This doesn't just mean living together in the same world; they advocate... oneness, that is, a high degree of integration between the alien and the human."
"Bio-soldiers..." Leia said with a frown.
"Thank God you finally spoke."
"You...never mind, just keep talking."
"Due to technical reasons, the Demon-Subduing Division at the time was unable to conduct this experiment, which required stringent scientific and brain research. Therefore, they cast a wide net, traveling overseas. That group of monks was one of them, and what they did on Mount Danye..."
"What they did was create the headless general named Toyokawa Asazo? In fact, Toyokawa Asazo was the first biological soldier?"
"No, they weren't called biological soldiers back then. This kind of experiment, lacking scientific theory, was more like... living zombies. They only had immortal bodies, but no ability to think."
"Then it now..."
Leia was already interested and wanted to investigate it thoroughly.
But unexpectedly, Sherlock directly spilled the black soil in his hand.
"I have absolutely no interest in this place anymore."
"Ah?" Rhea looked at Sherlock in a daze.
"This isn't a mystery at all. This is a typical deus ex machina. It defies any logic at all. It's so boring."
She stood up and clapped her hands.
"I have sent all the clues I have compiled to the East Special Bureau. They will take over and, by the way, find the research organization that has been secretly hiding in Danye Mountain for decades or even hundreds of years. However, that has nothing to do with us anymore."
"You...! I feel like I haven't done anything, and you say it's boring! Mr. Sherlock, no, Miss! You're enjoying it, but what about me!?"
"At least..." Sherlock said with a smile.
"At least you got some good sleep, didn't you?"
"you!"
Just then, Sherlock's communicator rang.
It was Yagyu's voice inside.
[Ms. Sherlock! The case files you sent to the East Special Bureau earlier were the ones you handled in the car! Many of them contained errors, and the murderers you pointed out all had alibis! The East Special Bureau hopes you can once again serve as technical guidance to solve these cases.]
Sherlock was stunned.
Then he burst into laughter.
The girl smiled so happily.
What kind of logical computing ability does a crappy mechanical body have? Something that can only filter data step by step will never be able to surpass the human brain.
Human beings have infinite possibilities.
If you only use rigid computing power, even if you deduce it ten thousand times or a million times, this person may still give an answer that is completely different from yours!
This is what human beings are like.
This is the smell of crime!
"Your smile is so disgusting." Rhea looked at Sherlock with contempt.
"Miss John! Looks like we won't have to leave Fuso for now! This time, I'll take you to solve some real cases!"
"...This is the first time I've noticed how annoying you really are, Sherlock."
...
Rhea, Sherlock.
