Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 394 Research on Green Letters
"I thought you were going to come up with a bunch of reasoning about my personality. Is it just because I was being polite and waited for you to come over and talk?"

Amanda was still looking forward to what kind of reasoning such a famous detective would make about her appearance, but it turned out that it was just because of his politeness?
Sherlock opened his briefcase indifferently, took out something from it, and said:
"Actually, many people don't like my long speeches to gain insight into their essence through the appearance of the outside world. They will feel that this is an offense to privacy, especially when they receive some cases related to family ethics, the guests who ask me for help usually themselves There are some unspeakable secrets. So, I just need to have a correct understanding of you."

Amanda took the document handed over by Sherlock. There were several palm-sized paper bags stapled to it, and the main body of the document was a large pile of papers with inconsistent styles stapled together. It was a thick stack, and it said that Aman was needed. The text can only be seen clearly if you identify it carefully.

Thankfully, these awkward strokes only take up about a quarter of the text, so they won’t drive Amanda crazy.

He scanned it roughly and found a few keywords:

"Monolith, sacrifice, night."

Amanda suddenly raised her head and looked at the detective and asked, "Should you report these things to the church or college?"

Sherlock smiled, pointed to the mark on Amanda's clothes, and said, "Aren't I talking about these things? There was a case three months ago. An old friend of my assistant, a once noble and upright doctor, For some reason, fell into a prisoner of those addicted drugs. He killed a person every month until we caught him and killed himself in the prison. I later found out what this guy killed because of his notes. , why do you need drugs to calm his fear? Unfortunately, in the end, even the most advanced sedatives of human chemical medicine were unable to calm that guy."

Amanda looked around and said, "Let's talk about this first in the hospital. Someone is already watching us now."

"Yes, I'm very alert. Some ordinary people have received those, uh, you call them cultists, dark believers and so on. Some ordinary people have received some benefits and volunteered to be their spies and pass on information. I am also investigating this case in depth. When I discovered it at that time, I thought I was involved in a scandal involving a powerful person, but the result was completely the opposite. However, maybe, even among those officials, or even local colleges and churches, some people were bribed. After all, Officials and capitalists usually don't care much about morality, while scholars and priests are more likely to be bewitched by knowledge and belief. Those cultists have deeper insights into people's hearts than what we call psychological research."

Sherlock said happily that he understood, and suddenly apologized: "Sorry, I started talking in a long way again."

The two walked into the hospital. Amanda's uniform number had been registered, and Sherlock was able to go in together.

"Actually, you can fake some wounds to sneak in."

Amanda suggested as she looked at the not very tight defense.

Sherlock shook his head and replied: "This was originally the plan, but after last night's accident, the newly transferred injured were all sent to the tent in the south square of the hospital. There is a ward building that cannot be entered. Unfortunately, Yes, the patient I am looking for is in that ward."

"I'm about to go in, but before that, I have to confirm some things."

Amanda took Sherlock to the sealed ward building, took his ID and walked to the tent with the command center sign.

He connected some numbers and submitted Sherlock's identity information for review.It's better to be more vigilant. You can't just say you're Sherlock Holmes and I'll believe it.However, it is really rare to have a character who is so familiar and extremely confident that he will achieve his goals.

Not long after, the records of the college information department and the city hall came back with confirmation information. This Sherlock Holmes was indeed a well-known private detective in London who graduated from Oxford and Cambridge and obtained a private detective certificate at the college.

The Information Department even provided a list of people in the current area who might know Sherlock Holmes. Amanda found some local priests and nuns and confirmed Sherlock's identity.

It took some time to walk around like this, but Sherlock showed no signs of anxiety and was very calm.

But he still said: "I thought you would be a person who would trust others unconditionally based on the first impression. It seems that there is something wrong with my judgment on this point."

Amanda complained in her heart with some helplessness: "Only some naive people in the world can trust others unconditionally."

In the spiritual world, Omega had not yet fallen asleep, but the black cat heard Holmes' name and became somewhat interested.He doesn't have access to some TV series, so he can only read some novels that Amanda has read and know some things about this great detective.

However, Amanda still has some unusual memories about Sherlock Holmes, maybe because Amanda herself doesn't know enough about it.

It’s like Sherlock Holmes with a restrained world view, that work "A Study of Characters (What Color)"?

Sherlock Holmes in it doesn't seem to be a good character.

However, He couldn't confirm these clearly, so we should wait until Omega wakes up and ask again.At present, the black cat has also tried to sense it. This Sherlock is indeed a little different from ordinary people. He is very smart and has the ability to remember things. Several priests in the big library under him also had this ability.

There are such geniuses in every era, but this genius has no trace of contamination.

If the cultists were around them, they would be easily noticed and even directly awaken Omega.

After confirming that Sherlock's identity was normal, Amanda led Sherlock towards the ward building.

"Then I'm lucky. It seems that you are here too. Let's exchange information first. To show respect, I will explain it first." Sherlock was very happy. Generally speaking, the development of things was in line with his plan. Before doing anything, People who are confident like this.

While passing through the makeshift disinfection tunnel, Sherlock explained why he came to the hospital.

In the notes of the prisoner who committed suicide before, there were the names of the three people who were hunted.

In the past two months, two other people died unexpectedly as scheduled, and it seemed that there was another force performing the sacrifice.

And tonight is the death date of the third and last person.In the notes, after this person dies, the night will be destroyed, and the huge monster behind the night will be exposed to people, leaving permanent scars on this world.

And just yesterday, an accident occurred in the ward where the target lived. He must come to the target before tonight to protect him.

As for the prophecy in that note, he didn't take it to heart.They are nothing more than cult sacrifices. During the colonial era, many uncivilized natives also tried to use these sacrifices to curse the blood of the colonists, and even retaliated with prophecies of world destruction.

But in the end nothing happened.

"Or the academy will clean up the mess."

Amanda added silently in her mind.
