Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock left the White Thorn Security Company, but instead of rushing back to Baker Street, he walked alone along the banks of the Thames for a long time.

The fog in London reached its peak along the river, almost covering the freight ships along the way. Looking up, the huge clock was still running without knowing the purpose, striking once every 15 minutes, and the loud sound could be heard for half the time. London, and sprayed the steam generated by the underground furnace into the air.

This big clock was built 35 years ago to commemorate the victory of the second demonic invasion war. Sherlock didn't know why this big guy was named [Big Ben], and he didn't know why it was built in Dunwei. Next to Stminster Abbey, wouldn't the people in the church be tired of the bells disturbing their pious prayers?

In short, these huge things are all hidden in the mist at the moment, and they also stand under the shroud of holy light. Looking from a distance, they look like they were tearing open the cracks in the void and stepping onto the long streets of London during the second demonic invasion. demon.

Of course, Sherlock had never seen those giant demons, because when he was born, the second demon invasion had ended.

But being in this world, he must have an incomparable understanding of [Holy Light] and [Second Demonic Invasion].

More than two centuries ago, the door to hell opened on the Antarctic continent, and the Holy Light also descended on the world.

No one knows what the Holy Light looks like and whether it has an entity; perhaps it is on the top of the highest mountain in the world, above the clouds; it is the servant of God in the most mysterious and noble institution of the Holy See - the [Temple of Holy Light] We may know what the Holy Light really looks like.

But the citizens of the empire just know that the Holy Light is not a kind of light, not the kind of golden color that falls from the sky.

In the common concept, the Holy Light cannot be detected by the naked eye, cannot be felt, has no temperature, and has nothing, but it exists in every corner of the empire.

People believe in the Holy Light because it is the foundation of human existence in this world! ! ! !

Under the shroud of holy light, large space cracks cannot appear in the city, which ensures that the citizens of the empire only need to be careful not to let those small demons chew them to death.

In addition, the Holy Light can know everything in this world at any time!

Know where a person is and what he is doing, know where a small crack in the void has appeared, know which poor person will have his head bitten by a little guy who just appeared, and the holy light can kill him in an instant. Kill any citizen, and even kill every small demon in every corner of the empire in one second!

The Holy Light is omniscient and omnipotent, knowing the past and the future!

Although it sounds a bit mysterious, the fact is that it is the result that has been verified by hundreds of millions of humans for centuries. The Holy Light is a gift from God to humans, and it is a power that transcends all world laws!

And being powerful must have its drawbacks. It is extremely difficult to control the Holy Light.

Even those servants of God who have abandoned all human desires and always devoutly believe in the Holy Light have to pay an extremely terrible price if they want to establish the simplest communication with the Holy Light.

Moreover, regardless of these costs, the mere use of this power is likely to have a huge impact on the human social system.

Let me ask you, if people know that there is a power that can detect and kill anyone at any time, anywhere, without discrimination, and irresistibly, and even know his past and future, how can they not panic or be timid!

No, only the panic of a few people can be called panic. If there are millions of people or hundreds of millions of people panic, it will be the collapse of the social structure!

Fortunately, because of the existence of demons, humans must have the protection of the Holy Light.

The Holy See spent more than two hundred years to appease, and at the same time established a huge system of believers throughout the empire, spreading the gospel, inducing piety, and using countless overt and covert means, and finally made mankind selectively forget the Holy Light. The terror has even enshrined it into the most noble power of mankind!

It has truly achieved the perfect social form that is only possible in theory, that 'all mortals are mortal and all mortals need to be served'.

As for why the [Second Demonic Invasion] occurred, it is easy to explain. After all, it will be mentioned in every modern history book.

Because there is an evil god on the other side of the gate of hell.

Anyway, that’s what the Holy See calls that thing;

In order to prevent the evil god from stepping out of the gate of hell and coming to the real world, the Holy Light can only devote all its power to fight against it. Therefore, the shelter that enveloped the entire empire disappeared. Large void cracks can be opened anywhere at will. Large demons You can also get out at will and set foot on the territory of the empire. Just like those years when the gate of hell was just opened.

Yes, although the Holy Light is omniscient and omnipotent, it still has targets that require all its strength to resist.

The Holy See has never denied this!

Moreover, the confrontation between the Holy Light and the Evil God, and the fight between the Holy See and the Devil seem to reflect the struggle between the different forces of the two worlds.

The second demonic invasion lasted for five years, and people also survived under the evil influence for five years. In fact, during that dark time, humans had almost lost all hope for life.

Until Lord [Dante Alighieri] appeared like a savior!

This Crusader warrior who came out of the lower city wore the oldest steam armor, and with his contracted demon that constantly broke through the evolutionary barriers, he tore an incredible gap between countless demons on the battlefield of the Antarctic continent. Like an unstoppable light, it rushed into the gate of hell! !

That's right, a human being rushed into hell!

In that alien world that no one had ever set foot on, this god-like warrior was isolated and helpless. He drank the boiling sulfur water of hell when he was thirsty, and could only devour the flesh and blood of demons when he was hungry. He survived alone for a year and seven months. , and finally succeeded in killing the evil god with the power of a human.

And fought his way back to the world!

At this point, the war that almost destroyed all mankind finally ended.
