Chapter 533 Resurrection (Part )

Nightingale has a unique ability in this world.

She can heal injuries and illnesses. No matter what the disease is, she doesn't even need to know the cause of the disease, its symptoms, or what stage the patient has developed. She just needs to touch the other person and use her own abilities.

Likewise, physical injuries can also be cured.

As for what counts as [using ability], it is difficult to explain clearly, just like a person cannot understand how to flap his wings and fly.

However, her abilities are not omnipotent, such as regeneration of broken limbs, natural aging, and reversal of death.

The dead cannot be resurrected. This is like an iron law in this world. If you are dead, you are dead.

But Nightingale seemed to have forgotten one small thing, that is, on the battlefield on the other side of the Redeker Strait, Sherlock once had a mission competition with a veteran named Ulysses.

In that war, Sherlock led Crimson and snatched the opponent's mission target from under the opponent's nose. He prevailed amidst countless artillery fire and missiles and made an incredible reversal of the situation that was almost inevitable at that time. situation.

After that, Crimson was seriously injured and received treatment in the military's demon storage room.

That day, Nightingale went to see Sherlock. She walked through the warehouse where Crimson was, saw the huge demon body, and then tentatively touched Crimson and used her ability. .

Nightingale had only treated humans before. In fact, she had also treated humans since then. She had always felt that her abilities were only useful to humans, and after she used her abilities on a demon that day, the big one named Crimson seemed There is no miraculously immediate recovery of all injuries.

But she didn't know that it was actually that touch that day that made Crimson completely possess wisdom and completely integrate with the Holy Light.

Demons are actually human beings who have traveled through the cracks in time and space. They have been disturbed by some force between time and space and turned into terrifying creatures with chaotic thinking. To use another mysterious and mysterious way of saying it, these demons have lost their 'souls' .

But what is the soul?
This point again involves the blind spot of human scientific exploration. The soul may contain wisdom, the reflection of each neuron of the brain to the outside world, the cortex is between the feedback of the body to the world, artistic thinking, self-awareness, and concepts. Build blah blah blah.

But certainly not all.

Someone once even conducted an experiment, which was to measure a person's weight immediately after death and found that it was 21 grams lighter. Perhaps this is the weight of the soul.

So, if Nightingale's ability is to restore everything a person has, then is the 'soul' also included in it?

It’s just that the soul can exist through the body, or more specifically, through the [human brain] as a carrier. So when Nightingale tried to heal a dead person, the soul could not obtain the carrier when it returned to the body. , so he can’t be brought back to life?

No one knew this, not even Nightingale herself.

But like she said, for Sherlock's sake, she needed to give it a try.

She pressed her hand on Sherlock's forehead, ignoring the coldness seeping into her fingertips, and stubbornly activated her ability.

"."

Several people around watched this scene with bated breath. After Nightingale slowly opened her eyes, there was a silence.

You already knew the result without asking, because there was no change in the body.

Jasmine walked up to Nightingale and patted her shoulder: "Don't be sad. In fact, we all miss Sherlock, but now that everything has happened, we can only accept it and try to live a good life." Very simple words
But because it is so simple and real, almost everyone will say this when they die. Nightingale has been tossed between injury and life and death in her life. She has seen too many deaths. She had heard this too many times.

But this time, she stubbornly refused to accept the death of the man in front of her.

So she put her hand on Sherlock's forehead again and activated her ability again.

Still nothing has changed.

Then the third, fourth, and fifth times.
Nightingale's ability requires physical strength, and each time it increases her fatigue, that's why she travels between cities because she needs a break.

Otherwise, she would have treated everyone in the entire empire long ago.

So after using her ability a few times, she obviously began to look pale, and some sweat flowed down her face.

"I know Sherlock. He is not a guy who likes to owe favors. If he knew you were like this, he would probably feel very troubled."

Watson looked at the woman in front of him who had satisfied all his desires for beauty, and said sincerely.

But Nightingale shook her head. She seemed to have suddenly suffered from paranoia, repeating the previous actions over and over again. People next to her felt uncomfortable when they saw her doing useless work in silence, but It's useless to say anything else.

To what extent can a person be paranoid?
Sherlock is paranoid, and he has no hesitation in doing what he believes in, even if he throws himself on the opposite side of the entire race.

Watson is paranoid. He is willing to sacrifice his own life for the meaning of existence and pursuit of beauty.

Irene is paranoid. She believes in her own vision and women's intuition, and she risked her life and fortune for this.

Lord Dante is paranoid, Moriarty is paranoid, those veterans on the battlefield are paranoid, too many people in this world are paranoid.

It's just that no one will be paranoid about a dead person. No matter how hard they don't accept it, they will gradually let go over time and start a new life.

But Nightingale was a little different.
The day after that, she continued to try to cure Sherlock.

On the third and fourth days, it was still the same.

Then the second week, the second month.
The current empire has entered a period of chaos. Unlike the war between humans and demons, there will be no right or wrong in the confrontation between humans. Rather, just as Nightingale said to Dante before, she Humans in this world have done enough.

So since that day, she never continued her travels in the world. She settled in Baker Street, living in the room that Sherlock had before.

She started a very normal life pattern, cooking, practicing her cooking skills, washing clothes, making a cup of tea in the morning, sitting in front of the window and reading a book, and then continued to treat Sherlock.

These may be the most common life in London, but for Nightingale, it was a new beginning.

that's all.
A year has passed.
