Chapter 480 Actually not happy

The moment he saw Lord Dante, Sherlock was shocked.

Although he rarely encounters things that shock him in his life, and although he has always been wonderfully shocked many times in the past few years, no matter how unbelievable these things are, together they seem to be nothing like this. A moment of turmoil.

Sherlock's pupils tightened suddenly. He was too familiar with this overly intense reaction, because he had seen such a scene in the eyes of other people countless times, and these people's eyes were usually looking at him.

He never thought that one day this look would appear on his face.

At the same time, his brain was running wildly involuntarily. Even more than a year ago, when he woke up in the world on the other side of the gate of hell, his thinking had never been so nervous.

This is an instinctive reaction to danger. At this moment, his mind has surpassed his body and foresees too many possibilities in advance. His spirit tenses up instantly and is then forcibly suppressed by the terrifying willpower. , otherwise, Sherlock might do something embarrassing like "gasp" or "jump up in his throat".

But in the end, he just smiled to himself and watched the old man walk into the room, past the emperor, and sat on the sofa in front of Sherlock with some staggering stagger.

"Hello, actually I didn't expect to see you again so soon." There was a hint of apology in Dante's tone.

And Sherlock's eyes no longer had the usual look of respect.

Lord Dante should not be apologetic to anyone, because he saved the world, and the entire human race owes him. Sherlock's eyes when looking at Dante should not be so calm, because he once said, this world There are very few people in the world who deserve his respect, and Lord Dante is undoubtedly at the top of the list.

He is very confident in his vision. Sometimes he can even conclude that a person is a criminal based on his or her expression for a moment, then drag him into an alley and have a cordial conversation until he is asked. Find out what crime this guy has committed and then bring him to justice.

It was really hard for him to believe that he had made a mistake.

No.
Sherlock is confident, or extremely arrogant, and it is impossible for him to admit that he was wrong, so this should mean that Lord Dante has a lot to talk about.

"The day after you assassinated Augustine, I paid attention to you. Do you know why?" Dante asked softly, not paying attention to the change in Sherlock's eyes.

"Because I summoned a third-level demon." Sherlock replied, not even in a questioning tone, but in a straightforward manner.

"Yes, I thought you were not an ordinary person at that time. Although in many people's evaluations, you have never shown that you believe in the Holy Light, the speed at which your contract ability has improved is really hard to believe. You are an infidel.

It wasn't until you summoned a large demon that I confirmed that there was some kind of connection between you and the Holy Light that I didn't know about.

I didn't know you well at that time, but I believe that the Holy Light will not bless an insignificant person casually.

So, I saved you.

And you have indeed continued to grow as I expected, until you became the person you are today. "

With a "pop" sound, the lighter skillfully approached the cigarette and lit up a scarlet light that was not very polite: "So, is this how you treat the juniors you like?"

This should be the first time that Sherlock interrupted Dante. He also deliberately used the term 'junior' to refer to himself, but in connection with the atmosphere of this situation, this word seemed to have some ironic meaning.

But Master Dante still doesn’t care much.
"Sherlock, I know you are resistant to my approach, but you have to know that I am about to hand over my position to you.

I have been guarding mankind for so many years, and I have never felt so uneasy as at this moment because I will eventually die, and after I die, I will no longer be able to watch or listen. If the hero I designated makes any mistakes, then I didn't even have a chance to correct him. "

Having said this, Lord Dante raised his head slightly and looked into Sherlock's eyes with some relief:

"My child, please forgive me, I sincerely apologize to you.

If I were just an ordinary person, then I would be willing to have a few drinks with you and tell you everything I have experienced in my life.

But after all, I am not an ordinary person. Humanity is about to enter a new era, and humankind needs a monument. I don't trust you."

"Why don't you worry about me?"

"I don't worry about your temperament, your weird disregard for life, I don't worry about whether you will let your obsession override human society, and I don't worry about whether you have knowledge of the world on the other side of the gate of hell. bona fide.

You simply can’t imagine how terrible people would be under the baptism of 800 years of hatred and despair. If people from the two worlds really live in the same era, then no matter how good they get along with each other in the beginning, in the end, there will be Conflict, war, and even destruction.

Once upon a time, our ancestors have shown us human greed.

You should have heard of that history
Remember what I said before, if one day I find that you are no longer on the side of mankind, then I will kill you with my own hands.

But if I die, how can anyone control you?

I can't bet on the future of mankind, so I need to use some slightly more extreme methods to restrain you. "

To be honest, in the more than thirty years since Dante returned to the world, no one has ever allowed the old man to talk so much. He didn't even care whether Sherlock responded to him, he was just trying to be as peaceful as possible. Zai, who has lowered his status, apologizes to Sherlock.

And if from a theoretical point of view, what he did is reasonable and inevitable. If even the next monumental figure of mankind can be passed down without any scruples, then Dante is not worthy of being respected by all mankind at all. .

"So, the assassination of Emperor Augustine can make me a heinous criminal at any time, right?" Sherlock had hidden himself in the smoke, and could not see the expression on his face at this time.

"I'm sorry, that's the case." Dante didn't make any excuses for this: "But please believe me, you will get glory that you can't imagine. In a few years, I can put my little one on the beach The house is left to you, and there is a nice young man who delivers the message. You should be able to chat with him very well.

Soon, if we really close the door to hell, then the status of the Holy Light Temple will also change soon. The devil and the Holy Light are two in one. If one day, there is no need for the Holy Light to exist. , then you will become an existence comparable to the Holy Light.

You will be supreme over the entire race and lead mankind to move forward.

And I'm pretty sure you have that kind of intelligence."

"But I didn't bomb that street, so those people don't have to die."

"Haha." Master Dante smiled: "Child, you have to adapt to thinking from the perspective of the entire human race. If I was the kind of person who cares about the life and death of my compatriots, how could I choose to retreat to that small town? You It should be conceivable that if I continued to stay on the battlefield, the human war in Redker Strait would not be so anxious at all.

But what's the use of just killing a few people now.

People in our position can only look to the course of racial history.

You're smart enough to understand the trade-offs.

Besides, you are not the kind of person who cares about the lives and deaths of others. "

Sherlock nodded. He had to admit that he never valued life very much.

So he corrected:
"That's right, so I'm not feeling sorry for those innocent citizens.

I just care about the impact this kind of thing has on my mood.

You should be able to tell that I am now.
Not that happy actually. "
