Sherlock Holmes

Chapter 509 Transaction

In the eyes of the public, the youngest pope in history is not a person who likes to show off. Even after he sat on the throne that symbolized power, he did not convene several large-scale meetings within the Holy See. He only dealt with various matters in a small building in the Holy City, leaving it to the leaders of the major dioceses in the empire. The popes are in charge of their respective territories. In short, they are so quiet and unknown.

The only impressive thing he has done may be to declare the autonomy of the Holy Light Temple. And this kind of thing that separates the foundation of the Holy See can be implemented extremely calmly. It is really surprising and even more surprising. The strange thing is that after all this happened, there was no bloody storm, nor did it cause the people of the empire to make any religious choices. It seemed that the young pope didn't care at all that the believers were deserting the Holy See.

Originally, everyone thought that the Pope would continue to exist in such obscurity, and that the power of the Holy See would gradually weaken. Until many years later, another Holy Son appeared out of thin air to take his place, and this Pope would take advantage of the situation. He abdicated and became the least remembered passer-by in history. Of course, many people may also talk behind his back. His inaction was the biggest reason for the followers of the Holy See. He separated from the Holy Light Temple. This was the beginning of the decline of the Holy See.

Well, if this is really the case and it leaves a name in history, it would be better to remain in obscurity.

But no one expected that just after the final battle between humans and demons began, the various deeds that the Pope had done began to gradually emerge in front of people's eyes.

It turns out that he was the one who initiated the experiment on controlling wild demons many years ago?

It turns out that the replacement of old and new energy for the empire is to allow the soldiers on the front line to embark on the journey to the gate of hell?

It turns out that the purpose of his willingness to divide the Holy Light Temple was to get those high-ranking servants of God to join the expedition team to lay the Holy Light that can resist demons? !

It turns out that all the actions he committed were to save mankind from this long war that lasted for centuries!

For a moment, the people of the empire seemed a little confused. This young pope gave up the admiration of millions of Holy Light believers and turned the contractors who were originally firmly held in his hands into ordinary combat forces that could be produced at any time. He gave up everything he owned, and even let the Holy See fall into decline, in order to allow mankind to enter a better future.

No one knows from what channels these things are revealed, but this sudden truth makes people have to start thinking about what a person with supreme power should do for the world. When articles about The deeds of the young pope were unearthed, and when he was photographed in rare photos, a not-so-tall figure appeared on the edge of the church in the Holy City, looking in a certain direction in the distance, with a slightly tired smile on his face, When he shook hands with Master Dante intimately, the old man patted the junior's shoulder gently, which seemed to be some kind of trust, sustenance, and inheritance.

When all this was gradually exposed to people's eyes, this new generation of controller of the Holy See seemed to inexplicably begin to give people a great sense of security.

Yes, how many people in this world are willing to give up everything just to lead mankind to a better future?

As a result, some voices gradually appeared in the empire, and Mr. Moriarty gradually gained some supporters. Some people even spread some gossip, saying that after this Holy Love Day, the Saint and the Saint will be reunited. In fact, the wedding has not been completed, and the Pope is still single today.

This news seems to have caused quite a stir in the upper-class circles of the empire. No matter how old a woman is, she will always have some sweet fantasies, just like the teenage lust syndrome that always broke out around the day of holy love in the past. Those nobles The beautiful girls at home began to discuss behind their backs, if the Holy Son was not married yet, wouldn't they also have some opportunities?

Time can wash away most pain. This sentence sounds like a brainwashing sentence that some people who cannot eradicate the pain tell themselves, as if they are deceiving themselves.

Only those who are no longer able to fight against the pain will leave happiness to time.

In the same way, when you hear the words "I have never been afraid of the dark, as long as I have never seen the light," there is a great sadness in my ears that is extremely sad and helpless.

Under the bloody sunshine, in the last city of mankind, everyone adheres to this endlessly sad sentence. It's not that they don't want to escape from the hopeless life like hell, but they just don't have any direction to work hard.

Therefore, people can only live in despair and die in despair. The survivor government even proposed that all the recorded world data should be burned, so that no one would know about the blue sky and no one would know about it. The seasons are changing and the trees are green. As long as there is no hope, there will be no despair.

This kind of extreme self-deception may really make human beings in this world happier, but I don't know why. For a long time, documents recording things in the past have still remained in museums in various neighborhoods.

Perhaps, human beings have such a stubborn racial temperament. Even in desperate situations, even if they cannot find any hope, they are not willing to give up the spark of the future.

What if one day, a god really comes to the world and spreads the beauty of the past over this desolate planet again.

In the autumn of 2749 AD, everything was just like it had been for centuries. There was no snow, no rain, no sunrise or sunset. The scorching air blew over people's skin, taking away the little bit of moisture from the sweat glands.

But in a square, the girl's smile was particularly sweet.

The innate pursuit of love will not be taken away by the ever-changing sky. Melissa is still sitting in a wheelchair. A man who is not handsome, but has a kind of honest and lovely smile is holding a cup in his hand. Bouquet of flowers, face slightly red.

"So, hurry up and take it, a lot of people are watching." The man was dressed quite formally. Perhaps he had never knelt on the ground and flattered a girl like this in his life. He looked at several people not far away in embarrassment. The aunt smiled on the face of the passerby and reminded her in a low voice.

But Melissa enjoyed this situation very much. She looked at the man for a few more seconds before taking the flower in her hand.

"Well, seeing as how sincere you are, I reluctantly agreed."

As he spoke, the smile on his face couldn't help but bloom.

A little fat boy emerged from the grass nearby, holding a toy that would spurt out colorful ribbons when pulled. He happily ran around the couple. This child's name was Little Miller, and he was Melissa's younger brother. , I just had radiation stripping surgery last year. Thanks to my young age, I recovered very quickly.

Just a bouquet of flowers, some clumsy vows, and an extremely simple proposal ended successfully, and the emotion of happiness can really be contagious through vision.

On a bench in the distance, a man and a woman watched this scene in silence.

The man's hair was messy and unkempt, and the brim of his hat was pulled down low, leaving only the flickering half of a cigarette in the shadow.

The woman next to her wore sunglasses that covered most of her face, but only some of the parts that were exposed were visible, as well as her excellent figure that no matter how much she covered, it was not difficult to imagine that after taking off her sunglasses, she would definitely attract the attention of every passerby.

"The old Miller Detective Agency is doing well now. The man who proposed to Melissa is an accountant. Little Miller's surgery was also successful. His rescue fund will be maintained until he is 18 years old."

The woman leaned back on the chair, not caring about the dry wind blowing against the delicate skin on her face, and patiently explained to the man next to her.

The man nodded, and the light under the brim of his hat became brighter.

It seemed like it was just a normal encounter. The two were sitting on chairs chatting casually, but in fact, in the buildings around the square, no less than 30 sniper rifles were aiming at the man. Even further away, The city guard was ready to rush into the square at any time, and even in the underground military garrison a few kilometers away, aircraft and artillery were all ready to go.

"You should know how much effort I have put into allowing you to walk freely in this city. You can't always face me with such a silent attitude."

"Oh, come on." Sherlock smiled: "Your government knows very well how much trouble I will bring to this city if I make trouble. Now that I can sit here peacefully and watch the scenery, you all secretly Have fun."

Lilith did not answer this question. Facing this person who once again emerged from the cracks in time and space, her thoughts returned to the time two years ago, but the difference was that they were naked enemies back then, and Now, although this guy is still under a lot of firepower surveillance, at least the two of them can talk about something seemingly quietly.

"So, what do you mean by cooperation?"

"Didn't I tell you before that I am willing to help you get the lost artificial sun console back?"

Lilith took a deep breath. As a high-level figure in the scientific research and technology of the survivor government, she certainly knew that the console was extremely closely related to the old man who developed the space-time rift, and it still retained Regarding all the ideas about perfecting the space-time rift, if that thing is really brought back, maybe the disadvantages of the space-time rift can really be eliminated.

But when she thought about the conditions offered by the man in front of her, she had to look embarrassed.

"But, you want us to catch 30 million mutated creatures for you, no matter how big or small, but isn't this a bit too far-fetched?!"
