I weave fate in parallel time and space

"Hey! Lisa, look at that!"

Sissi and Lisa stood on the street together, pointing excitedly at the end of the street toward the army coming this way.

The infantrymen lined up in three columns and trotted along the street with their guns loaded.They are obviously an elite force of professional soldiers.

Their steps are surprisingly unified, as if they were copied and pasted.The uniform footsteps were like the running of a herd of bison during migration, making a rumbling sound that even made the earth faintly tremble.

Behind the military column, Britannia's most advanced mechas followed. Each mecha was like an ancient behemoth, and the ground trembled with every step it took.

In fact, in a sense, this mecha should not be called a mecha, but a powered exoskeleton.Because compared to the mechas that were often more than ten meters long in the past, these mechas are only about three meters long.

Tesla originally designed the mecha for agriculture, public transportation and engineering use, so he designed a multi-legged structure. In order to meet engineering needs, some mechas were designed to be very large.Mainly because at that time, the public transportation system was not as developed as it is now, and the multi-legged system could adapt to many terrains.

So of course, such a system has also been extended to combat mechas.At that time, people were still in a state of exploration for combat mechas, so it was a stage where mechas were in full bloom.

There are giant mechas that are more than ten meters tall, and excellent bionic mechas like scorpion mechas.

However, as the world war progressed, the mechas became smaller and smaller.Because people have discovered in actual combat that large-scale mechas not only do not increase their combat effectiveness much, but also have many disadvantages.One is the cost issue, the other is the flexibility issue, and the third is the size is too large, it is easy to become a target on the battlefield, and repairing after damage is also a problem.

With the progress of the times, the mechas of this size now displayed in front of Sissi and others have become the best size for combat mechas.

The body is flexible and the armor can be stacked thicker.The previous mechas lost part of their armor due to power reasons. As the size shrinks, a more powerful power system can naturally provide thicker armor.

Although it cannot carry a huge number of weapons like large mechas in the past, it can be mass-produced, and in actual combat it is not much weaker than large armor.

The land battleships have remained as large combat platforms and are still the key killer weapons in this era.

But now it is obviously impossible to drive into the city.

However, even in the suburbs, the land battleship's turret can still penetrate any corner of the city.

In fact, Mycroft also mobilized a cruiser and three frigates to defend the imperial capital.

"That's the latest type of mecha, right?" Sissi asked, "It seems to have inherited the name of the storm mecha."

She said excitedly, "It's so beautiful. The armor is very thick, the custom-made weapons are very rough, and the lines are very abortion. It's just not as good-looking as 'Grace'."

"Grace" is the name of the mecha she harvested before, and it was also given by her.It's not because she thinks that mecha means "grace", but it's the name of a gospel song she likes very much, called "Amazing Grace."

The grace that Xia Ya gave to Sissi was taller, about eight meters.Tony himself is an admirer of small powered exoskeleton armor, and almost all of his armors are small powered exoskeletons.

The reason why these large mechas are designed is mainly to cope with the huge size of the dragon.Secondly, Grace's series of mechas are equipped with position defense systems and self-repair systems, not to mention the power system, so there is no need to worry about other issues.

Pedestrians on both sides of the street were a little scared and rushed back to their homes, so the two of them looked very abrupt when they stood there.

The officer who was following the army spotted them and shouted.

"A ban has been implemented throughout the city and emergency urban attack and defense drills have begun. All residents of the Imperial City, please go back to your houses and close the doors and windows to prevent stray bullets!"

"Okay, why don't we go to another city for a city exercise?" Sissi muttered, "Do they know how much money they will lose if the entire imperial capital is shut down for a day?"

"Let's go." Lisa came back to her senses from the dark clouds in the sky. "Things seem to be a bit troublesome. Let's go back to the villa quickly."

Sissi looked at Lisa. Her expression was very serious. This was the first time she had seen her show such an expression.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the dark sky. The dark clouds had been gathering for a long time, and the heavy rain remained at a stage that was about to come in the future.

Although she doesn't know magic, her magic talent is the best in the world.Therefore, she could clearly feel the gradually becoming more ominous atmosphere around her.

Thinking of the abnormal state in which these troops suddenly entered the imperial capital, it was obvious that something had happened.

It would definitely not be an invasion by the enemy's army, so it would most likely be something supernatural.

She is very receptive to these things because she is a supernatural creature herself.

"A storm is coming." Sissi's eyes flashed with unknown light.

She turned her head and said, "Let's go back to the office first."

Lisa nodded, and they slowly left the street and walked back to the office.

Troops could be seen everywhere on the street, holding loudspeakers and beginning to greet everyone on the street to go home, and even began to drive them away and blockade them. This resulted in Sissi and Lisa having to go around a few streets to reach their office.

But when she arrived at the office, several people were already standing at the door of her office.

It's Sherlock, Watson and Locke.

"What a surprise." Sissi closed her eyelids and joked, "I didn't expect that the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes would come to my small office."

The service of the firm opened by Sissi is to consult on everything. Sometimes, she will have some business conflicts with Holmes' firm.

Of course, not much.Holmes does not investigate cases to make money, but only to satisfy himself.Although Sissi has similar reasons, her charges are much higher than Holmes's.

We live in the same city and have pretty much the same business, so of course there will be some intersection.

"I don't want to talk nonsense to you, Akasha." Sherlock said directly, "I know you have a lot of mechas there, and there will be a lot of trouble in the future. Lend them to us."

"Humph, I'll give it to you if you use it?" Sissi said displeasedly, "Those of mine are all collectibles. Do you know about collectibles?"

After a pause, she said, "How do you know I have many mechas?"

"The biggest financial backer on the black market is a very beautiful girl with dark green hair, and she is accompanied by a very capable maid." Sherlock looked at Sissi, and then at Lisa on her side.

At this moment, Lisa happened to be wearing a very beautiful maid's dress.

"You must put on a disguise next time you go." Sissi muttered.

"Now that the army has come in, what use can my old antiques do?" she said. "The military is there to deal with those things, but we also have to have something to protect ourselves."

"Tell me first, what happened?" Sissi said with great interest.

"Remember the news about the serial murder case?" Sherlock said.

Sissi raised her eyebrows, "Can he make such a big fuss?"

"What he is conducting is an ancient magical sacrificial ritual. He intends to summon something from hell." Sherlock slowly raised his head and looked at the sky, "And unfortunately, he succeeded."

Sissi opened her eyes and looked shocked.

Just as Watson and Locke thought she was shocked that hell really existed.

But she didn't expect that she would shout regretfully next.

"If I had known, I would have sold the house. Now if something like this happens, house prices will definitely fall!"

"Is now the time to worry about housing prices?" Watson complained.

"I thought you would think I was fooling you." Sherlock said with raised eyebrows.

"What a damn guy!" Sissi gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, her eyes full of murderous intent, "I should have killed him when I had seen him before!"

"You didn't do anything when he wanted to kill you before, but he's so angry when it affects your house price." Lisa said helplessly from one side.

"Have you met him before?" Sherlock was keenly aware of what was expressed in Sissi's words.

"He played a game with me," Sissi said.

"Let you choose between two medicines?"

Sissy nodded.

"you win?"

"No, I lost, but he was cheating." Sissi said unconvinced, "Both of his pills are poison."

"Were you rescued?" Watson asked with a frown.

"No, I took a nap." Sissi said seriously, "My health is better."

"But this poison has already killed five people." Locke said quietly.

"The potential of the human body is unlimited." Sissi said seriously, "Don't stay up late. As long as you go to bed on time and don't stay up late, you will have a healthy liver, and the liver is the most important detoxification organ in the human body."

She sighed and said, "Most people in this world don't take good care of their bodies. Smoking, drinking and staying up late will damage their livers. It's normal for them to be poisoned to death."

"A neurotoxin similar to tetrodotoxin can cause paralysis of the respiratory system and eventually suffocation." Sherlock said quietly, "If your liver can metabolize this toxin, you will probably be admitted to the Non-Human Research Institute."

Sissi raised her eyebrows, "I was very angry at the time. People's potential is unlimited when they are extremely angry."

Watson and Locke both looked at the girl in front of them who was talking nonsense with speechless expressions.

"So, you represent 'greed'." Sherlock murmured in a low voice, "No wonder they chose a place like the palace. Maybe it was because you were not dead that caused some problems in their plan."

"Are you insulting me?" Sissi was keenly aware of the meaning of Sherlock's words, "What do you mean I represent greed?"

Lisa nodded in approval, "Very appropriate."

"Lisa!" Sissi said angrily, "Is that what I call greed? What I call motivation!"

But Sherlock obviously didn't listen to her words, and he fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, his pupils suddenly shrank to a point, and he froze in place.

After a moment, he excitedly turned his head to look at Watson.

"John, we seem to have overlooked something."

Watson was stunned for a moment, but still said, "What?"

"This ceremony is to select people for sacrifice according to the standards of the seven deadly sins. But that doesn't mean that we have to kill only seven people, does it?" Sherlock said.

After a pause, he continued, "We found six of the seven people. So far, the only condition we know for sacrifice is "suicide" and not "discovery." This means that the murderer can completely hide the body. Provide time for yourself.

In this case, is the discovery rate of this corpse a bit high? "

Watson seemed to realize this, and his pupils shrank slightly.

"what do you mean……"

"In this case, there is a high probability that...these corpses were deliberately discovered by us." Sherlock murmured in a low voice.

Both Watson and Locke were stunned in place, an inexplicable chill gradually rushed from the tailbone to the forehead, and goosebumps appeared all over their bodies...

If this guess is correct, then it proves that the murderer has something he wants to hide...

"What a cunning guy."

Sherlock was the complete opposite. Although he also had goosebumps, it was because of excitement.

His eyes were dancing with excitement.
