I weave fate in parallel time and space

Sherlock came back to his senses and looked at Locke, whose expression turned very ugly, "When will your people come?"

"They are already here," Locke said. "As early as yesterday afternoon, they went to investigate the remaining murder sites in order to find a way to crack this seal."

Mycroft put his hands behind his back and said quietly, "It looks like they didn't succeed."

At this time, the door to this room was pushed open, and the special forces officer who participated in the operation last night walked in and looked at Mycroft with a stern expression.

"Sir, outside"

"Act according to the emergency plan last night." Mycroft said calmly, "Inform the mecha troops who have been waiting outside to enter the city. Broadcast throughout the city that the Imperial Capital will conduct a 24-hour special military exercise and stop all business. activities and implement crowd control.

Inform the media that they will write me a manuscript within half an hour to prove the necessity of this military exercise.

Inform the entire army and inform them that the enemy we face this time will be a completely unknown existence, and we must maintain [-]% vigilance. "

He looked at the officer, "How are the preparations I asked you to make?"

"In just one night, we can only try our best to carve crosses on the weapons and ammunition we use." The officer said, "But it is enough to conduct a small conventional battle."

"Okay, where is Mr. President?"

"We have entered the underground facility and the command system has been activated." the officer explained.

After a pause, he said, "We have also made arrangements for your parents. Sir, please come in with us."

Mycroft did not answer, but turned his head to look at Locke.

"Are your people willing to meet me?"

His voice was low and he didn't know whether he was happy or angry.

After a pause, he sarcastically said, "Or, like in the past, you solve everything yourself. Then you use your special power to change our understanding, and those who died in this disaster will be killed again. changed to "accident"?"

Locke was silent, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

"Britannia has given you the greatest respect." Mycroft's tone gradually became stern, "I also hope that you can give us respect. I hope you can understand one thing: We are Britannia. The government of Tania is the legal government chosen by the 4000 million people of Britannia! It is not a minority like you hiding in the shadows. You have no right to decide our future!"

Mycroft's eyes were very sharp, which made the fledgling Locke feel at a loss. He said helplessly, "I'm just a trainee exorcist, I can't decide anything."

But at this moment, a familiar voice came to his ears, low and steady.

"He didn't say this to you, he said it to us."

Locke turned his head sharply, and Mycroft also shifted his gaze behind him.

Next to the body that fell to the ground, countless black gravels appeared out of thin air. The gravels automatically formed without wind, and finally formed two men wearing black windbreakers.

The leader looked to be in his 50s or [-]s, with short black hair and stubble.He wore a big black hat on his head, a black windbreaker, a suit vest and a white shirt, a tie, leather boots, and a black leather suitcase in his hand, like He is the boss of a listed company and has great temperament.

Behind him is an old man with completely gray hair. He looks to be 80 or [-] years old, but he is very energetic. His hair and beard are meticulously taken care of. He looks like a butler and is also carrying a big bag. box.

"Director Leo!"

Seeing the visitor, Locke shouted excitedly as if he had seen a savior.

Perhaps many people have forgotten this name. He once participated in the battlefield of Verdun and was saved by Gayward.Therefore, he was lucky enough to be chosen by Char as the middleman to deliver the sandbags to the God of Sleep, and received the blessing from the God of Sleep.

At that moment, his talent was enough to place him in the first echelon of the wizarding world.

So of course, more than ten years later, he became the director of the Exorcism Department, and the old man behind him was Old Dick who had been following him since the battlefield.

He used to be a mortal, but now even if he leaves Leo, he is still a powerful exorcist.

Leo took off his hat and bowed to Mycroft.

"My name is Leo Mori, the director of the Exorcism Department and Locke's boss. Thank you for taking care of our employees during this time."

Mycroft nodded, "Mycroft Holmes."

"You look very young." Leo looked at him with interest, "You are really young and promising to be in this position at such a young age, Mr. Holmes."

"Let's talk about the small talk later." Mycroft said, "Let's talk about this matter."

Leo lowered his head, looked at the man's body on the ground, and murmured in a low voice, "It's so simple. The devil hasn't done such a deceptive thing for thousands of years. I didn't expect him to be so proficient in his business."

"Have you always been here?" Mycroft was also keenly aware of the meaning of Leo's words, "But you have been watching everything happen."

Leo did not deny it, but said quietly, "This magic, to be precise, is not the magic to lift the seal, but to absorb the negative emotions of the entire city as a force to break through the magic. This is why they will choose the imperial capital." The reason is because it is the most populous city in Britannia.

But there are more than 6 million people in Britannia, and the imperial capital is not the only city like this.

Therefore, after this failure, they will inevitably choose other cities.

We cannot escape this ceremony.And if it is organized this time, it will only be more hidden and meticulous next time.

In that case, we will be very passive and even difficult to react.

Since there's no way to escape, it's better to just sit back and watch what happens. "You plan to unleash this demon?" " Locke's eyes widened.

Leo shook his head and smiled, "We are not so arrogant yet. However, we can strengthen the seal, but if we want to strengthen the seal, then we need to make the seal appear."

"Are you going to use the trick?" Mycroft said.

"All the middle and high-level leaders of the Exorcism Department are here, and we even invited some magicians from the Magic Association." Leo said confidently, "This time, we are bound to win."

He looked at Mycroft, "If you can help evacuate the crowd, it will be the greatest help to us."

"That's no problem. However, I never think there is a perfect plan in this world. I will consider the possibility of accidents. If something like what you said really escapes, we will consider unleashing some large-scale destruction. Sexual weapons.”

Leo was silent for a moment, then said, "You don't have to worry about us, we have a way to escape."

After a pause, he said, "Another point is that once this ritual starts and the door to the underworld is opened, many weaker demons may come out.

We probably don't have time to worry about this, your army should be able to deal with it.

You have to be prepared, a lot of people may die. "

Mycroft said nothing, just stared at Leo, paused, and said.

"This is the first time we've worked together, and I hope it won't be the last."

Leo raised his eyebrows and he smiled before continuing.

"Lend your auspicious words."

He raised his hand and was about to leave, but Locke said hurriedly.

"Director, please take me with you!"

Leo looked at him and said, "You are still young, Locke. From now on, just leave it to us old guys."

After saying that, the two people instantly decomposed into countless black sand and rushed out of the window.

Mycroft looked at Sherlock and Watson, "You two, follow me into the underground facility."

"The underground facilities were built for Britannia's high-rises with taxpayers' money. Do you think it's appropriate for us to go in?" Sherlock said.

Mycroft shrugged, "The president will also bring his family in."

"I'm not you." Sherlock said.

He said no more, but turned and left.Watson looked at Mycroft and then at Sherlock, but still followed, and Locke followed behind them.

Mycroft came to the window and looked at the palace courtyard through the window. He quietly watched Sherlock and Watson gradually leave his sight without saying a word.

"Sir," the officer said, "do you think they will succeed?"

"Have you ever heard of Murphy's Law?" Mycroft said.

The officer tilted his head in confusion.

"If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of the choices will lead to disaster, someone will make that choice. The basic idea is: if things have the possibility of going bad, no matter what No matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen." Mycroft turned around and walked to the door, "Inform the Air Force that KE31 is ready to go at any time, carrying a small nuclear warhead. The Land Cruiser is also ready."

"Yes."

"Also, increase their surveillance level." Mycroft said.

"Who?" The officer was a little confused.

Mycroft turned his head and walked towards the secret passage, facing away from him.

"Sherlock Holmes and John Watson."

"I don't understand why you don't agree to your brother." Locke quickly stepped forward. "The whole city will probably become a battlefield soon. The gates of Hades will be wide open. I guess the entire imperial capital will become a purgatory."

After a pause, he said solemnly, "A lot of people will die."

"Just because a lot of people will die, I won't hide there."

Watson understood what Sherlock meant, and he said seriously, "We have to go back to save someone."

Sherlock slowly raised his head. The sky was now completely covered with dark clouds, with bursts of thunder and occasional flashes of lightning, like a fire dragon, as if it was about to engulf the integrated city.

The silver light reflected on the magnificent mansions on both sides of the street. If it hadn't been sunny a few minutes ago, people might have thought it was already evening.Even the air became low, and the hot breeze mixed with the smell of photoelectricity spread to the surroundings.

With the sound of "clang", a blue tram drove towards them along the hidden track.

Sherlock jumped onto the tram with a slight leap, and Watson and Locke followed suit.

"This car is not going back to Baker Street." Watson asked doubtfully, "Where are you going?"

"Find weapons." (End of chapter)
