big devil holmes

Chapter 153 Murder in full view
Sherlock was silent, the tongue in his mouth was licking the gaps between his teeth, and his upper and lower lips were grinding repeatedly, as if he wanted to use this method to squeeze a little bit of smoke between his lips and teeth.

Professor Darwin has contracted a Tier [-] big demon.
A Tier [-] contractor controlling a Tier [-] demon? ! !

This kind of cognitive refreshment made Sherlock feel a little uncomfortable. He knew his own special, those fields covered with hell, the sun in the sky, and countless tentacles that could be bred by demons. These are all situations that have never been seen in the records of the Holy See about demons.

Even, he can summon more than one demon!

But fundamentally speaking, these demons are just parasitized by tentacles, so they can only act in the area of ​​tentacles. This is a kind of ability, just like the old priest's magic spider can use silk threads to make people hallucinate. .

Although it was still unbelievable and unbelievable, even so, it was impossible for a Tier [-] contractor to control a Tier [-] demon across levels.

And that demon is wild at all!
The silence lasted for a full 10 seconds. Catherine did not interrupt Sherlock's contemplation, because when she learned the news, she was even more shocked than the other party at this time. on the ground.

at last
"Did you read anything else?" Sherlock asked slowly.

Catherine also stabilized her emotions:
"There are some more, but most of them are about the experimental process.

Judging from the diary, in fact, for more than two years, his father has been using the third-order demon to test the stability of the artificial contract technology. Sudden backlash, etc. vicious situation.

And the testing method is very straightforward. He simply let the big demon he controlled fight another demon of the same third level, and tested this stability in the most intense practice.

As a result, no malignant conditions occurred.

Even on the contrary, in practice battle after practice, he found that his contract with that demon was getting closer and closer. At first, he could only struggle under the attack of the partner demon. After a few months, , he could actually make the demon he contracted fight back, and at the later stage of the test, he was even able to completely suppress the opponent.

This sounds unbelievable, but after a period of hard practice, my father has been able to completely control a third-tier big demon as a second-tier contractor.

Although this may be due to the old guy's high enough understanding of demons, if he is an ordinary person, he should be able to reach a level that is not too bad. "

"So, after nearly three years of theoretical practice, your father finally decided that this experiment is feasible, right? And he couldn't trust others, so he directly regarded himself as the subject of the experiment
Sure enough, those who do research are more or less crazy. "Sherlock muttered, and the 'crazy' in his mouth didn't mean to belittle at all, but some kind of weird praise:

"By the way, what about the demon that killed Dean Darwin? Could it be the one he has been using as a training partner for the past few years?"

Catherine lowered her eyebrows, but she still nodded: "That's right, it's the demon who has fought with him for nearly three years.

This demon was transported from a demon farm, and its contractor was an officer of the Crusader Army. In fact, this officer was a famous battle hero on the front line of the Gate of Hell, but because of some The reason, has never been in the newspaper, so you should not have heard his name.

In short, when the dean selected his demon for the test, it must have been carefully considered. After all, this kind of experiment cannot be practiced with a random wild demon, otherwise it would be impossible to get feedback from its contractor afterwards. Therefore, it is necessary to find someone with a high degree of compatibility with the devil, the higher the better!
And that officer is one of the few in the entire empire who has been praised by Master Dante in terms of contract ability. "

Speaking of this, Sherlock couldn't help being startled. In fact, when he mentioned the officer just now, he keenly noticed that Catherine's expression seemed to have become a little complicated. It has been approved by Mr. Dante!

This is really surprising!
What kind of person is Lord Dante?That is the existence that has worked with Shengguang to kill the evil god of hell, and is the only person in the world who has raised the contract level to level four.

In fact, his contract level may not be level four, but level five, level six, or even ten levels. Classified as Tier [-].

In short, in a sense, his status in the hearts of the people of the empire should be second only to the ubiquitous Holy Light.

Then, a person who can be recognized by his elders in terms of contract ability...how powerful that would be.

The death of the dean of the School of Life Sciences alone is enough to excite Sherlock, but now it involves such a powerful contractor, and it is enough to change human cognition, as well as the entire social system. Experimentation of the process of development.

The gathering of various elements made Sherlock's scalp feel numb.

"But."

Sherlock hesitated slightly and said:
"For such a powerful contractor, his contract demon must also be extremely powerful. Dean Darwin has always used demons of this level as a training partner, and can he still win in the end?"

"I'm actually curious about this too, so just before you came, I asked Steward Maude to bring over a copy of the experiment record, thanks to my identity and my inheritance of certain authority from the dean, otherwise, this record Basically no one can see it."

While talking, Catherine took a report from the table and handed it to Sherlock.

"I've already read the report. Fortunately, I've been paying attention to my father's experiment these past few months. I have more or less knowledge about it, otherwise I wouldn't understand these things at all." She said:

"Actually, because this demon is far away from its own contractor, it must be injected with demon sedatives for a long time, otherwise it will cause backlash to its summoner because it is out of the control distance. All the demons on the giant island of Australia It's all like this.

And the demon sedative itself has a series of effects such as weakening the demon's actions, slowing down thinking, and drowsiness.

In this experiment record, it can be clearly seen that the sedative injected by the partner demon has been changing, from a large dose at the beginning, to four-fifths later, and finally, until one-half one.

That is to say, in the final stage of the experiment, the demon controlled by my father can already reach half the strength of that demon.

Of course, this is when the demon is far away from its summoner, and all actions are based on its own muddled instincts, but even so, it is enough to prove that the old guy's experiment was successful. "

Sherlock flipped through the records in his hand and looked at the dense data. He is not a scientific researcher, so he can't understand these complicated data, but fortunately, after these data entered his line of sight, he presented them in his mind. There are notes that he can understand.

And it was indeed recorded in the notes that on the day the test results were presented, the demon was injected with half the amount of demon tranquilizer.

The measurement is the same as that used in normal testing.

And at that time, the third-order great demon that Darwin taught the artificial contract was by his side.

If this demonstration of results is successful, if Professor Darwin can really win this test, then the entire empire and the entire history of mankind will be changed accordingly!
But the result was that all of a sudden, through the window of the laboratory, everyone could clearly see that the demon who was the training partner jumped right in front of Professor Darwin!
At that time, the demon he controlled was beside him, but it didn't move!

Or maybe it was moving, but it had no effect at all. Under the opponent's offensive, it was simply vulnerable, and it was directly overturned to the ground. Immediately afterwards, Professor Darwin was arrested
Torn in two.
Then it was thrown to the ground miserably.

The whole process only lasted a few seconds, and no one could react. Some even felt that this was some kind of joke made by Professor Darwin with all the people who came to see the results. Until the staff began to panic and poured water into the experimental field. A large amount of sedative, and then rushed in to lift the dean's body out, and everyone found out.

Professor Darwin is dead.

The experiment failed.
Although the wild demon could indeed be given the possibility of contracting artificially, it did not show any combat power at all. In front of a demon that was injected with tranquilizers and had no one to control it, it was defeated in one face-to-face, just like It's like a child who can't control his behavior.

Then this kind of contract has no meaning.

Sherlock flipped through the experimental records during the last period page by page, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, because if everything was in accordance with the above, then it seemed that the death was really caused by the failure of the old dean's experiment.

"Well, did you think of anything?" Catherine asked.

"If we only look at the records, we can only make the most superficial guesses. For now, if we want to kill Ni's father in this situation, there are at least three ways.

First: Someone tampered with the demon next to your father, such as feeding it several tons of demon tranquilizers the night before, so that it completely lost its combat effectiveness the next day. "

Catherine shook her head: "It's unlikely, your contracted demon hasn't been sedated, so you don't know that feeling. Actually, I haven't been sedated either, but after all I've been in the Holy See for so many years, I must have heard what others said Pass.

If his own demon was injected with sedatives, then the contractor can clearly perceive the other party's weakness and weakness, so if that is the case, it is impossible for my father not to notice it. "

"So that's it." Sherlock nodded: "Then the second one is the other way around. Someone tampered with the partner demon. For example, the night before, they didn't inject enough sedatives at all. The next day , it is naturally alive and well, and it is reasonable that your father's demons cannot defeat it."

"Probably not." Catherine said: "The old guy has spent more than 30 years of hard work on this experiment. On the day before the results are displayed, he will definitely do all the pre-processes to the best. I also learned from some records before. I found out that the injection of the sedative was performed by himself, and he had spent his whole life in the laboratory, so he would never make a mistake in the proportion of the injection."

"Very good. As I expected. Then rule out these obvious methods first, and the rest will be much easier." Both of Sherlock's conjectures were denied, but he did not show the slightest bit of enthusiasm. Annoyed, but I think this is normal.

Originally, this kind of low-level method, I think the new staff of the Security Department of the School of Life Sciences can figure it out, so there is no need to spend so much time searching for talents throughout the empire.

"Then it's the third type." Sherlock stretched out three fingers, and his expression finally became more focused: "At that time. The demon who was only used as a training partner was not fighting according to his instinct at all.

Someone is manipulating it! "
