I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 537 Seal
Locke's brows furrowed deeply.

As his exorcism certificate says, he is a trainee exorcist, and he even graduated from Hogwarts not long ago.

And this time, the pursuit of this devil's agent is also his most important test for becoming a full-time official.

This is why he is unwilling to retaliate against Shylock for exercising his right of self-defense, and why he takes the risk and chooses to cooperate with this person.

The real great devil usually cannot come to the human world, because the human world has its own rules.In addition, Hades will strictly control the entrance.

Those who can come to the world will only be some insignificant little devils, and they can possess humans to move forward.

Of course, those big demons would not be willing to just watch those little demons take over the world.

Some of them will control some little demons to harvest souls for them, while the other part will use some kind of magic to choose "dependents" in the world. Exorcists generally call them agents.

They will give these agents some power and let them harvest souls for them in the human world.

In a sense, these agents are easier to deal with than those possessed by little demons, because they are still human in nature.

Although there is a big devil behind it, the big devil cannot enter the human world.

But now it seems that things are not simple.

"Have you thought of anything?" Sherlock asked.

"Maybe. To achieve some kind of magic?"

Sherlock thought for a moment, and then he seemed to have thought of something.His eyes began to search around, and suddenly, he focused on the map of Britannia hanging in the corner of the living room.

He took off the map and laid it flat on the floor. At the same time, he took out a pen from his body.

I started writing and drawing on the map.

"What are you doing?" Watson asked.

"Location." Sherlock murmured in a low voice, "He is a taxi driver. He could have killed someone in the taxi and then driven to the suburbs and dumped the person in a deserted place. Why did he have to bring someone to such a city?" In a building in the district?

If he was in a hurry and was afraid of being discovered, why didn't he do it more secretly? "

While he was talking to himself, he never stopped moving his hands and kept writing and drawing.

Soon, the locations of the five dead people were marked on the map.

Sherlock observed the five points and began to calculate all the possibilities in his mind. Topography, pictures, and countless scenes were rummaged through his memory palace one by one.

Although he obviously doesn't know as much about mysticism as Locke, his memory can be said to be terrifyingly strong.All the memories he had seen related to the occult emerged in his mind, and were finally compared one by one.

At this moment, the data processed by Sherlock's brain was even much larger than the computers of this era.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he leaned down on the map and directly connected the five points.

Then he slowly stood up.

Watson and Locke both looked at the map.

A six-pointed star appeared on the map, a perfect six-pointed star, even the ratio of length to short was perfect.

The six-pointed star is also called the Star of David in the West, or the Seal of Solomon.

The earliest Star of David was recently discovered on a Jewish tombstone in southern Italy and may date from around the 3rd century.The earliest Jewish written record of the Star of David comes from the mid-12th century.At that time it was a pattern on amulets.

Jewish legend associates the Star of David with King Solomon's seals.Legend has it that King Solomon had a ring that allowed him to command devils and ghosts, and on that ring seemed to be the six-pointed star symbol.Another legend says that this mark is associated with King David's shield.Legend has it that King David had a shield to protect him.After the French Revolution, with the liberation of the Jews, they chose the Star of David as their representative, just as the cross is the representative of Christianity.Today the Star of David is placed on the flag of a certain country.

There are similar symbols in other faiths.It is possible that the use of the hexagram in these faiths predates that of the Jews.It is used today in Jewish culture especially in the occult.The Star of David is also an important symbol in astrology.Others believe it is the star symbolizing the birth of King David.

Some Orthodox Jews object to the use of the six-pointed star because of the symbol's association with "magic" and the occult.Despite this, the Star of David remains the most important symbol in Jewish legend and Kabbalah.

"I recognize this symbol," Sherlock said, "but I know that in your magical world, this symbol must have other meanings."

He looked at Locke, only to find that he was staring at the six-pointed star, his eyes filled with deep fear.

His breathing was a little rapid, and his hands even began to tremble slightly.

"What's wrong?" Sherlock asked.

Locke came to his senses. His back and forehead were wet with cold sweat. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Do you know Solomon?"

Sherlock nodded.

"He signed a contract with the 72 demon gods and made an agreement with Baal among the 72 demon gods. He lent the 72 demon gods to King Solomon and obtained his soul after his death.

But in the end, when King Solomon died, he used his body to make a trap for these demons and sealed them away.

And this six-pointed star is the symbol of the seal. "

Sherlock nodded, "Sounds like something righteous."

"This is the symbol of the seal, so when the seal is unlocked, this symbol must appear." Locke said.

Sherlock and Watson both opened their eyes.

Locke looked at the woman lying on the ground, his eyes a little absent-minded, "Not bad, there must be something special about the souls of these dead."

He looked at Sherlock, "Among the other dead people, is there a fat man?"

Sherlock nodded.

"Gluttony." Locke whispered softly.

Sherlock seemed to realize what Locke was talking about, and he immediately said, "The fourth deceased was very sloppy. His hair was not washed, his clothes were not changed, and his fingernails were full of black mud."

"lazy"

At this time, Gregson pushed the door open and walked in, holding the document in his hand and speaking to Sherlock.

"We have found out the identity of this body."

"Let me guess." Sherlock raised his head and looked at Gregson, "It's a prostitute, right?"

The words Gregson wanted to say got stuck in his throat.His face turned red, and after a moment, he said helplessly.

"You really don't know how to predict?"

Sherlock said nothing, just turned his head and looked at Locke.

"This is lust."
