“Where should I start with all this?”

In the slightly cramped back kitchen, Hercule is sitting next to the cupboard. He is more restrained than before. After all, he is now tied to a chair by a rope. Lorenzo is opposite him, holding the chinchilla named Bolo, away from him. There are several spoons and forks not far away.

“It’s okay, I have time to listen to you, rat king, Hercule… Forget it, it doesn’t matter what you are.”

By now, everything was clear, and Hercule had no chance to play tricks in front of Lorenzo.

The big mouse in his arms lay down comfortably, looking at Hercule who didn’t know where to start, Lorenzo curiously asked.

“Not equal to me, come and ask, why do you treat it as a rat king?”

Lorenzo said while rubbing the big mouse in his arms. Its fur was so soft that it looked like a fur ball. According to the history that Lorenzo knew, this little thing was once hunted to extinction because of its fur. , In Irvine, it is considered a rare thing, I remember it has some alternative names, I remember it is called My Neighbor Totoro.

“Because this big mouse saved my life. To be precise, Bolo saved my life.”

Hercule followed Lorenzo’s questioning, slowly telling her past.

“I’m not from Irvine. I’m from Leish. I worked as a police officer for a while. Later, I was in a shipwreck and fell to Irvine.”

“shipwreck?”

“Yes, when I met those damned Viking pirates, I took advantage of the chaos and escaped in a small boat. They did not chase them. After all, there is no food and no fresh water on the vast sea. I am dead in this situation.”

Hercule said looking towards Bolo.

“But they didn’t expect that there was not only me on the boat, but also a chinchilla. This little thing was used as a pet in some wealthy people’s homes, and because it was scarce and expensive, some merchants on the boat brought several of them. When it was sold to Irvine, it might be because the cage was opened, and it just fled with me into the boat.”

“You… ate it?”

Lorenzo thought for a while, maybe everyday all was in contact with some evil and bloody things, and the follow-up he thought was so bloody.

“How is it possible that this little thing is so cute that you are willing to eat it? And there are only a few pieces of meat on it… At that time, the most difficult thing was the mind. I talked to Bolo all day in the desperate situation,” Hercule picked Raised an eyebrow, “Human will is fragile. At first it was just me talking to myself, but one day Bolo returned.”

Hear here Lorenzo startled.

“Wait! That mouse spoke?”

“Yes! It talked, and talked to me.”

In order to convince Lorenzo, Hercule spoke faster.

“Bolo was chatting with me…the desperate situation was too boring, so I looked back on my life. Since then, I have a wonderful feeling. I can remember everything in my life, those vague The story is not clear before death.”

Hercule laughed like a mental illness. “Bolo said it remembered it too. It has three brothers. Only one of its bad luck ghosts was caught by humans. The rest of the compatriots are still living in the woods happily.”

“You have a mental problem.” Lorenzo said.

“Yeah, how can a mouse talk?”

Hercule nodded, her expression a little lonely.

“Just when I was about to die, I was rescued by another cargo ship. At the time, I said I was going to take Bolo with me. After all, it was a deadly friendship, but when I looked towards Bolo, I found that fur Silk Mouse doesn’t know how long it has been dead, and the body has rotted.”

Hercule said, “That’s right, this little thing is very expensive, and Sun’s exposure with no difficulty killed it.”

“what’s next?”

“Then I was sent to Irvine by a cargo ship. This was their destination. I had no money and no proof of identity. I was in a ridiculous state of mind. I could hear a big mouse all day long. Called zhi zhi in his ear, I just fell into the lower city district in a daze.”

“So became a rat king?”

Lorenzo feels that Hercule’s experience, from the perspective of an ordinary person, has several points of Legendary.

“How is it possible? You should know how difficult it is for a stranger to be in the lower city district, not to mention that I seem to have some mental illness.”

“Then is your illness cured?”

“If it’s not good, I won’t be here.”

Hercule looked around for 4 weeks, looking through the wall as if he had seen the lower city district hidden by him.

“I became a tramp, muddleheaded, but life is fair, at least for me. I have suffered and gained strength. I can remember the people and things around me, even Said that the same goes for their casual conversation.”

He stared at Lorenzo, telling bit by bit how he became the rat king, or the person behind the rat king.

“I didn’t know how to use such power at first. After all, I was just a person with a better memory. But in a coincidence, I used the chatter I heard to integrate the prototype of a story, and even said I saw it. Its direction…”

The weird part came, and Lorenzo listened intently. This was his greatest curiosity about Hercule. To some extent, he reached a kind of limited “omniscience” with the power of a mortal.

“With the mentality of giving it a try, I hid in the shadows and became the biggest winner behind the scenes. Those thugs, I never thought I would intervene.”

Hercule said frankly.

“That was the beginning of my turning point. I understood how to use this power, so the bad mouse appeared.”

“I have accumulated a huge amount of wealth in a short period of time, and no one knows all this. I am like a shadow. At that time, I thought about leaving here, but soon one thing changed my mind. This is what I look for. The cause of’you’.”

This is something that Lorenzo has always been thinking about. It can be seen that Hercule is indeed not malicious to himself, but it has another strange feeling. This feeling is very familiar. Lorenzo has felt in Merlin, that mysterious alchemy. The teacher once asked Lorenzo if he was interested in donating the body after his death.

Hercule is very curious, he is a seeker of knowledge, he yearns for the mysterious knowledge.

“The rat king is just a smoke bomb, a gimmick, a chinchilla named Bolo.”

“You should be aware of the chaos and dangers in the lower city district. The more the rat grows, the more dangerous I become. Instead of worrying about it, it’s better to transfer the contradiction.”

Lorenzo listened to him and raised Bolo up, “So this Bolo became a rat king?”

Hercule nodded, smiling.

“Bolo is my lucky mouse. Although it died in a shipwreck, if there weren’t for the mouse that chattered with me, I might go crazy and more thoroughly. So after I accumulated enough capital, I learned from a businessman. I bought it in my hand, the second generation Bolo.”

“Mysterious rat king manages all the bad rats. Of course, the person who actually operates it is still me. But when someone harboring malicious intentions, they will only look for the rat king instead of getting involved with a small intelligence dealer. “

Hercule continued, “Then it’s time to get to the point next, right?”

Lorenzo responded.

“You are a person who sells information. You should know the value of information. Now you have told me these secret and deadly stories, so what do you want in exchange for?”

Hercule smiled happily. “You are a wise man, Mr. Holmes.”

“This is another story. At that time I had wealth and wanted to return to Leish with the money, but…people are always greedy, right.”

“Do you desire more wealth?”

Hercule shook the head, too excited, his face flushed.

“You are someone similar to me, Mr. Holmes, our thinking is different from ordinary people, can it be said that wealth can move you?”

Lorenzo didn’t speak. If he really had to make any difficult choices, wealth would obviously not affect his decision. When such things are really needed, just grab them. Lorenzo doesn’t think the bank security can stop him now.

“Yes, those are all things that are easily available. In fact, I was pursuing those things a long time ago, but the shipwreck completely changed me.” He said.

“People’s pursuits shouldn’t be those, but the more mysterious or essential things, so what about the taboo knowledge? This is what is worth the madness of people like us, isn’t it?”

Hercule started his seemingly crazy speech, as if something had been touched. Lorenzo looked at Hercule, and for the first time he felt a bit of similarity from this guy.

“I am the rat king, managing all the bad rats. They run around in every corner of the city, and I exchange wealth for what they see and hear. They are my eyes and ears, constantly sending continuously information. In my mind… this is a very deformed desire for control.”

The words became enthusiastic, as if a fire ignited.

“I can calculate the fluctuations in prices from the conversations of the people at the dock, and the gossip of the thugs to piece together a smuggling operation. I even reached out to the city hall.”

“Don’t believe it, Mr. Holmes, it’s actually very simple. I can’t guess what the chef will do at night, but I can judge what he bought by the amount of goods in the market.”

“It sounds like 100 loopholes.” Lorenzo said pretendingly.

“So the stories I infer will have a certain deviation value to make the story fault tolerance.

Just like you killed those thugs, the truth is, you used a spoon to solve them… But this is really not in line with ordinary people’s logic, isn’t it? So in order to fix these “vulnerabilities”, I will make some changes to the story, for example, your shotgun with water can fire normally. “

Lorenzo expression is serious. He involuntarily grasped the Bolo in his arms tightly. Although he is not a human being, the big mouse can also feel the weight of the atmosphere. It is timid to die, nestled in a ball, and motionless.

“Inferior rats bring more and more information, and the timeliness is getting higher and higher. The more I know, the more I know everything in this city. It becomes clearer and clearer before my eyes. I can even analyze it, Come to foresee anything that happens in this city!”

Hercule’s eyes were fiery.

“Mr. Holmes, sometimes I feel like I am like Queen Victoria. I have mastered the city and mastered it thoroughly.”

Lorenzo looked at him deeply, then said disdainfully.

“Impossible, mortals can’t do this. Compared to what you said, I believe you are not a rat king. You are also one of his puppets. There is your archive somewhere underground in Old Turin. Ten people…maybe as many as 100 people, integrating the intelligence brought by the bad rats, conducting a ridiculous story meeting, and then giving it to you, so that you can make a magical speech before my eyes.”

“Sure enough, you also have the inferiority of a mortal. At first, I also refuse to believe this. After all, this is beyond your imagination. Right, human beings can’t imagine and have not witnessed it.”

Hercule laughed, as if laughing at Lorenzo, which made Lorenzo very uncomfortable.

“Mr. Holmes, let’s talk about the cause of my search for’you’ first. This is a very interesting beginning. At that time, I had a huge amount of information. The operation of the whole city was so clear before my eyes, but the harder I worked. To see it clearly, the more I realized that there was a cloud of fog inside this city that could not be dispelled.”

“It hides the most secret secrets. No matter how the bad rats find out, I can’t see him clearly. After so many years, all I can do now is to know its existence. There are other things in this city. Something that is absolutely unknown.”

He speeded up his speech again. It seemed that he would do this when he got excited. Maybe the mental illness left by the shipwreck was still there, and Hercule seemed a bit crazy.

“As you said, I’m just a mortal. A mortal cannot achieve’omniscience’. I also have limitations. There are many things that I haven’t witnessed. I can only rely on the true foundation to calculate the story. There are too many stories in Turin, and their deviations are surprisingly large.”

“You may not be able to understand this definition. In short, many events do not conform to common sense logic, or… there are extraordinary powers at work.”

When he heard the word extraordinary, Lorenzo’s pupils couldn’t help but tighten, and this tiny change was so clear in Hercule’s eyes that it was affirmed, and he smiled happily.

“I started to find out why this is the case. The more I traced it, the more I can find the cloud over Old Turin. In this city, there is another power, that extraordinary power!”

He stared at Lorenzo closely, questioning loudly.

“Mr. Holmes, you also saw the monster, right, why do you call them? Devil? You must have killed it, but after killing it you didn’t think about disposing of its corpse. It is so weird, once Exposure will have a strong impact on the public, right.”

“But you still left without looking back. Do you believe that no one found it, or do you believe that someone will handle all this after you leave?”

Obviously Hercule was tied to a chair by Lorenzo, but in that crazy imposing manner, Lorenzo felt that he was tied to the chair instead.

At the same time, Lorenzo also thinks that has several points of absurd. If Hercule is true, then this is a genius or a lunatic. He relied on the clues revealed in this city to calculate the existence of the cleansing agency, and he has even found inferior ones. Secret blood, and set up the bureau to use Lorenzo.

“In fact, those rumors are true.”

Hercule suddenly said nonchalantly. He broke free from the chair forcefully. Lorenzo couldn’t help tensing his body, but Hercule didn’t do anything extra, and he sat on the chair obediently and honestly.

“Like the archives, it’s real.”

“Like I said, you are also one of the puppets, all this is done by your group?” Lorenzo asked.

“No, what I said is true. I am the only one and the rats who helped me.”

“Of course that archive really exists, but it’s here.”

Hercule stretched out her index finger as she spoke, and pointed hard at her temple.

“It’s here, and it records everything I have seen and heard from the time of the shipwreck to the present, all of which are here, the past and the future of this city, everything is here!”

He said that he walked up to Lorenzo quickly, extend the hand, eight-shaped beard, and the corners of his mouth vigorously provoked.

“Get to know again, Hercule Christie, if you call me rat king, there is no problem. After all, I have to take care of Bolo’s 3 meals a day.”
