Chapter 326 Mr. Umbrella in History
Whenever Sherlock called himself Moriarty, Lynn always had a strange sense of déjà vu, as if the two of them were on the slippery cliff of a waterfall, fighting each other and might fall into the abyss at any time.
Of course, this was just a sense of déjà vu.
There was neither a cliff nor a waterfall here, and the slippery floor could not resist the steady grip of the boots. Sherlock was a few centimeters taller than Lynn, and the two of them, with a height difference of nearly ten centimeters, walked together as if they were normal friends.
The detective snapped his fingers.
Lynn could immediately feel the two phases of [Line] and [Nation] dispersed in the air. There were few pedestrians on this road. With Sherlock's snap, the people around seemed to subconsciously avoid them, making the foggy road seem even more deserted and quiet.
Although this extraordinary ability to dispel idlers seems a bit useless and can be broken by a slightly stronger will, it is actually quite useful in a busy living environment.
"Mr. Umbrella? What does this mean?" After opening the information, Lynn's blue eyes began to scan the information left by Ziegler for him.
The information was normal, including copies of some soldiers' family members and her own records of various situations on the battlefield, including how the soldiers of both sides of the war turned into walking beasts under the ravages of war. When Ziegler's information came into Lin's hands, it gave him a way to understand the soldiers.
"This is a code name, we don't know his real name. What is certain is that Mr. Umbrella is interested in collecting secret chapters, and he is also happy to facilitate the operation of related secret rituals."
Sherlock was very considerate to help Lin take the information that he couldn't get.
He didn't have any anger for Lin's seemingly disrespectful behavior of doing two things at once, but instead had some interest in his eyes. Moriarty flipped through the information very quickly, and it seemed that he had the ability to remember everything he saw. Generally, this ability exists in extraordinary people of the [Nation] phase.
"Aren't you also tracking down the secret chapters?"
Lin always felt that Sherlock had something to say.
"Just like your heroic deeds, I tracked down the chapters of the secret sutras to prevent them from harming others, while Mr. Umbrella hopes that the secret ritual will work. As a victim of the [Secret of Abundance] and the [Secret of Shedding Skin], please allow me to interview you about your feelings." Sherlock spoke in a reporter's tone, and this serious weirdness gave him a humor beyond this era.
"I am very honored and grateful." Lynn glanced at this guy and continued to look at the information at hand, thinking about whether there is a market for an anti-war book.
If you want to lose money, you have to consider the cultural value.
If the voices of himself and Ziegler can delay future wars a little bit and make peace last longer, why not do it.
"Oh, my friend, you are not standing on the hero's medal awarding platform now."
Sherlock laughed meaninglessly and continued.
"You didn't have to go through such a dangerous situation. At that time, several middle-level sequencers were ready to help, but they were all intercepted by the existence of Mr. Umbrella. Strictly speaking, he should be the one you should hate."
"Who is Mr. Umbrella?"
Lin En was not convinced by Sherlock's logic. Hate Mr. Umbrella? There is some truth in it, but you can't just hate the scavengers because of the sins of the rotten meat, and turn a blind eye to the rotten meat. The little gentleman's heart is like a mirror. The right and wrong of a thing can be distinguished from the perspective of interests.
"I don't know. It may be an angel with his own plan, or it may be a demigod who tries to show the glory of the past. His identity is obviously a disguise. From the archives of the [Weaving Destiny Bureau], I found the earliest record of him from the era of King Dove 548 years ago."
"From your expression, he seems to have done something extraordinary." Lin En answered casually, but he was already concerned.
As for Mr. Umbrella, he reached a deal with him.
But this kind of casual and pure existence cannot be defined as good or evil, so Lin En wanted to find out about him. Before he had time to check the archives of the [Suppression Bureau], Sherlock came to deliver a pillow.
Of course, in Lin En's eyes, Sherlock is almost the same as Mr. Umbrella.
If you say this kind of person is kind, he is so rational that it is really difficult for him to do good things. But if you say he is evil, all his actions are within the rules. It's a bit like lawful neutrality or chaotic neutrality.
"During the reign of King Dolphin, a saint died strangely. His death triggered an unprecedented explosion, and the pollution caused created many cursed children in two hundred years. It is said that the flame of [Burning Sun] was picked off." Sherlock said solemnly.
The flame of the sun?
Is it fission fire or fusion fire?
When Lin En heard this, he felt a bit like nuclear weapons, especially the cursed child sounded like a deformed child caused by nuclear radiation. But on second thought, the extraordinary power is also leveraging the power of nature and the astral world. Although this world is a magical steampunk style, the use of nuclear energy may already exist among the extraordinary people.
Moreover, the technology tree of this world, under the roar of the bell of the forge believers, is much slower than that of the earth, and has not yet entered the electrical age.
"Before the accident, the saint was close to ascending to the throne. According to historical records, he had contact with Mr. Umbrella. It happened to be because of a tantra chapter. According to the description, the umbrella is his symbol, and the pattern matches." Locke was already wondering whether Linn had been in contact with Mr. Umbrella. This leap of doubt was a combination of reasonable speculation and intuition.
"In the Tantra chapter, you said that the reliable statement is that the eleven true tantras have been gathered together by that saint?" Lin En remembered that walking up Sequence 4 is Sequence 3, and the entire Sequence 3 is the ascension stage. It is a crucial period. Could it be that the saint had no hope of moving forward and decided to try his luck to see if he could become a god in one step?
"No."
Sherlock denied, then wasn't sure.
"It may be close, but there is no exact record. Only by inferring part of the recorded material can we get uncertain results."
“A deal made with the devil always pays back twice as much.”
Lin En couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. The deal between himself and Mr. Umbrella seemed to be fine, but would the problem exist in the tantra chapter?
From the moment you got the [Abundance Tantra], were you already affected by the thread of fate?
"So, you have now mastered the contents of two tantras. From a occult point of view, you will encounter more tantras sooner or later, and Mr. Umbrella will come into contact with you sooner or later. Moriarty, Work with me, I can help you and you can help me.”
