Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 346: Sherlock Holmes

Shinjuku's Rider - Wolf King Rob, although he looks closer to the Avenger class, James Moriarty and Altria Alter prefer to call him Rider.

The name is secondary. Li Ye can see that James Moriarty has been guiding Ritsuka Fujimaru and others to annihilate other Shinjuku servants.

The initial meeting at Shinjuku Station, the unexpected encounter with Wolf King Robert, inducing Jeanne Alter to release her treasure to create a battle environment, etc.

James Moriarty's behavior is also very obvious. He assists Chaldea, or Ritsuka Fujimaru and others in defeating the Phantom Demon Alliance. This alliance composed of four servants is the biggest danger to Shinjuku now.

Putting aside the purpose of James Moriarty's assistance in the crusade, Li Ye could see that James Moriarty had a very high level of intelligence on the Shinjuku Servants, and this intelligence could just make up for Li Ye's shortcomings.

This is also the reason why Li Ye did not plan to deal with James Moriarty after dealing with the Wolf King Rob. He needed intelligence.

Although Li Ye was able to find the locations of those servants, he was not familiar with the situation of other servants, so it would be somewhat passive to move forward rashly.

James Moriarty immediately understood what Li Ye meant and did not hesitate. Li Ye was able to kill the Wolf King Robert so quickly. The power he displayed in this battle alone was already the power of a top servant.

If Li Ye insisted on killing people in this place, no one would be able to stop him.

In this regard, James Moriarty did not hide his intelligence and said, “If Rider dies, the Phantom Demon Alliance will only have Berserker and Assassin, and the modern Archer.

Assassin aside, that guy can disguise himself as anyone.

Berserker is a guy who accompanies a puppet. There are more than 200 permanent coloratura singers in Kabukicho where he lives, and there are another 100 who regularly tour Shinjuku."

"So, there are three hundred people in total?"

Mashu was stunned when she heard such a terrifying number. In this case, it would be difficult for them to break through even with their current strength, right?
"In other words, if we attack from the front, two hundred coloraturas will rush at us all at once!"

James Moriarty laughed and said, "Haha, you'll die if you do that.

Even if we don't die, everything will be over when the Master dies. Ah, I'm getting off topic. Let me continue. "

"Two hundred coloratura singers were wandering around Kabukicho, listening to the voice coming from the loudspeakers. This voice was the voice of our heroine Christina, the Berserker of Shinjuku.

Every time she finished singing, the coloratura singers would clap their hands, and this would be repeated almost 24 hours a day.”

James Moriarty continued in all seriousness, "That is to say, Kabukicho is now an impregnable fortress. In addition to the puppets that suddenly rush out from the buildings, they can also see us clearly from the rooftops. Then they will all rush up in one breath, and the game will be over.

Another piece of information is that the coloratura singers on tour will periodically abduct humans, but it is unknown what they are used for. Furthermore, no matter how many are killed, the number of singers on tour will return to 100 within 36 hours. "

"What's it like to have a hundred people on patrol?"

Alter, who had fought with several coloratura singers before, had a slightly condensed expression. Having fought with coloratura singers before, she knew very well that such a number of coloratura singers could already pose a danger to them.

But Alter had not expected that the number of coloratura singers would reach this level.

Not only Altria Alter, but Jeanne Alter was also surprised and said, "I have destroyed several of them."

Although they have had contact before, this is the first time that Altria Alter and Jeanne Alter have learned about Berserker, and it is more difficult than they imagined.

In response, James Moriarty continued after presenting his own intelligence: "If we want to attack head-on, we will inevitably encounter two hundred coloratura singers. So we can only choose other options, right?"

"sneak into?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka snapped his fingers and stood beside Li Ye, and said calmly: "Can we sneak in?"

"Unfortunately, it's impossible for a human to infiltrate two hundred puppets."

James Moriarty shook his head and rejected Fujimaru Ritsuka's suggestion.

"Then use my sword of sworn victory."

Altria Alter said: "Indiscriminately destroy all of Kabukicho."

"This is-this is impossible."

James Moriarty shook his head and said, “Even if you blow up Kabukicho, the Coloratura Singer and the Berserker will survive.

And you should have noticed that this Shinjuku has become abnormal as a whole. Although it has not reached the level of the Age of Gods, this vortex of magic is no longer the same as the Shinjuku in 1999. This magic power even poured into the buildings mercilessly. Now even the buildings in Shinjuku are full of magic power.

From what I have observed, even if you use the holy sword, it would be difficult to raze Kabukicho to the ground."

The enrichment of the atmospheric magical environment not only increases the speed at which individual lives recover their magic, but more significantly improves the world. Now that the surface is mysteriously covered, all matter is filled with magic, which means that performance has been improved.

The difficulty for Servants to destroy the world has increased. In the current state of mystical decline, the Sword of Promised Victory exists as top firepower.

In the era when mystery is flourishing, its power will also fluctuate. It is not that the power decreases, but that the degree of destruction will be different. After all, the solidity of matter has also increased.

If it was Altria in her lifetime who was released, there would not be such a problem, but Altria as a Servant was limited in her spiritual base and bound by the environment, so this situation would occur.

Altria, who did not deny this, nodded and said, "That's true—"

"Oh my~ You're willing to admit it? You're really brave to admit that you're a weak person~"

Jeanne Alter, with a playful look on her face, attacked Altria Alter mercilessly, as if she would not miss any opportunity to mock this cold-blooded woman.

To this-

"By the way, even if you use that whirring treasure."

Altria said calmly: "It's hard to do anything in Kabukicho."

"It's still okay to burn you to charcoal."

Jeanne Alter immediately retorted.

Ignoring Altria Alter and Jeanne Alter of this world, Li Ye pinched his chin and gave his answer under the gaze of James Moriarty.

"Quantity is not a problem. I can handle it."

Li Ye was not troubled by the three hundred coloratura singers. After learning the specific information, he finally determined what those free magic units were.

In addition to the reactions of the servants in Kabukicho, those astonishing numbers of magical units were also confirmed to be coloratura singers, and judging from their level, they posed little threat to Li Ye.

Furthermore, there is the magical environment of the Age of Gods that James Moriarty has repeatedly emphasized.

"Maybe it's my home field?"

Li Ye pinched his chin and smiled and said, "I miss the environment of the Age of Gods. If I were in an environment like Mesopotamia, my power would be much greater."

Now that a corner of his own logic has emerged, Li Ye also understands where the scale expansion he experienced in Mesopotamia came from.

That itself is the embodiment of [cutting away], cutting away things like the atmosphere, true ether, and turning them into its own driving force, causing the generated aurora to continue to expand in size until it forms a terrifying attack.

From the moment the dark aurora emerged from the end, his true self had already appeared.

"Are you ready to break through head-on?"

Understanding what Li Ye meant, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked curiously, "Now?"

"Of course, time waits for no one. Let's finish the get off work now so we can go home. There are only a few servants left anyway, right?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "The last problem is the tower. I want to get in early, so I have to solve other problems."

After obtaining information about the Phantom Demon League servants, Li Ye decided to go to Kabukicho first and annihilate the Shinjuku Berserker alone!

"I will attack in the form of a Knight of the Round Table, and I will go first!"

Li Ye waved his hand and decisively spread his steel wings, rushing into the night sky under the gaze of Fujimaru Ritsuka and others.

The Kabukicho pointed out by James Moriarty and the reactions of the servants perceived by Li Ye turned into an aurora that swept across the dark night!

"This is really efficient, Mr. Liye."

Mashu, who had no other choice, smiled and said, "So, seniors, are you going to go back first or are you going to Kabukicho with Mr. Liye?"

"Let's follow. If Li Ye breaks through head-on, we will have a chance to get in."

Without any hesitation, Fujimaru Ritsuka gave the order, asking Li Ye to go to Kabukicho alone, which he would never agree to.

But Li Ye refused to go with them and chose to go ahead on his own.

At the same time, Li Ye, who flew across the vast night, did not directly reach Kabukicho, but fell to the top of a tall building.

The aurora changed direction at right angles, creating a light trail in the night sky, and fell not far away under someone's gaze.

Because the aurora was approaching, the night wind blew, causing waves.

Tread.

"You are--"

With his hands in his pockets, Li Ye looked at the man not far away. He was wearing a green suit and had pale, messy shoulder-length hair. There seemed to be an endless flame burning in his scarlet eyes. It was something called the fire of revenge.

What should have been a tie was swaying like a flame, and wisps of black air lingered around the man.

[Edmond Dantès], but he is better known by nicknames such as [The King of the Grotto] and [The Count of Monte Cristo].

He is the most famous Avenger in the world. He was framed by a vicious conspiracy and charged with a false charge.
He was imprisoned in the hellish prison of Chateau d'If, but he had a strong will of steel and did not despair. He eventually obtained the treasure on the island of Monte Cristo and returned to Paris.

Drag those powerful people in Paris, the same people who framed him back then, to hell.

His intense life, the revenge drama in which he concealed his true identity, his love and obsession for his trampled and stolen lover Mercedes, and his process of suffering, regret and eventual repentance have won applause from people all over the world, including France.

And remember him as the "World's Most Famous Avenger".

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a super ancient and refreshing novel.

Although The Count of Monte Cristo is a story created by Alexandre Dumas, modern research has found that the Abbe Faria, who was imprisoned in the Chateau d'If and guided Edmond, was a real person...

"Are you really the Cave King?"

Although he knew the man's name, Li Ye sensed a familiar smell when he met the eyes of the man known as the Cave King.

There was a feeling of being crushed for no apparent reason, not by strength, but by something deeper.

'Oh, a Moriarty type.'

Although judging from his posture, he did not have strong physical strength, but from his eyes, Li Ye saw wisdom similar to that of Moriarty or even Sherlock Holmes.

"It seems I can't hide it from you—"

It seemed that someone had no intention of hiding anything from Li Ye. The moment Li Ye opened his mouth, he touched the maintenance of the transformation. As the light emerged, his true appearance hidden under the disguise also appeared.

That was the appearance of a famous detective that Li Ye was very familiar with.

"Mr. Holmes?"

Li Ye was surprised when he saw his true face. He didn't expect to see Holmes here, and it seemed that Holmes still had the memory of his contact with him.

Then it must be Holmes who left from the sixth singularity.

After experiencing the sixth singularity, the Atlas Institute group actually moved to Shinjuku?

"He really has the ability to transfer spirit particles, not to be summoned. If I had known, I would have snatched it from him—"

He immediately realized that Holmes did not rely on Servant Summoning to transfer between singularities. After all, that was just the reconstruction of the information body, and they were similar but not connected people, while spirit particle transfer was a physical movement.

If Li Ye had obtained the ability to transfer spirit particles at that time, he would not be so passive.

As if he knew what Li Ye was thinking, Holmes laughed and said, "You seem to have been through a lot since we parted at Atlas Court, Li Ye.

Of course, as you might have guessed, I came to Shinjuku from the Sixth Singularity through soul transfer.

And this was my original purpose. I used the Tripod Hermes in the Atlas Institute to find out whether there is still a possibility of generating singularities after the restoration of human nature. "

"From the current situation, even if humanity restores it, singularities will still appear."

Li Ye quickly understood the reason for Holmes's appearance. He looked curious and asked, "So what is the source of this singularity in Shinjuku?"

“Listen to me first. If the state of human nature being burned is transformed into a state of restoration, and if a huge omission occurs in the distorted history, the Three-pointed Hermes will definitely issue a warning.

The so-called omissions are the forces that are enough to erase the correct history and shake the world. Sooner or later, these things will be suppressed or prevented by some other existence. However, when they are restored, these forces will also revive in the gaps of history.

Just like a computer virus that was supposed to be isolated but became active when it was restarted, the three-pointed Hermes calculated that Shinjuku in 1999 was the place where this power occurred. Although the specific reason is unknown, there is a very important existence that has the possibility. "

"Wow, you still won't speak clearly."

When Holmes began to speak, Li Ye picked up his ears and listened to Holmes's long speech with a look of "this guy is like this again" on his face.

"So was it Moriarty who did it?"

Li Ye, who already had a pretty good idea of ​​who the Shinjuku Servants were, quickly identified the only suspect.

In terms of strength, he is indeed not the best, but in terms of using others to commit crimes, he can be said to be a super expert.

Besides, even Sherlock Holmes is here. As an old enemy, it would be too frivolous to say that he is not a suspect.

James Moriarty, if he splits into two, the good James Moriarty is helping Fujimaru Ritsuka deal with the Phantom Demon Alliance, then what about the evil James Moriarty?

Did he plan all this and master the power that Holmes said could erase correct history and shake the world?

"I can't make a decision yet. After all, I haven't fully investigated the problem in Shinjuku."

Holmes said with a smile: "But, Li Ye, you also have a corresponding guess, right?"

"I don't know. I'm stupid."

Li Ye spread his hands and shrugged. Seeing that Holmes was not going to answer, he changed the question and said, "Then can you tell me what the tower is going to do?"

"It is a [gun body], but what will it fire at the end, and to what extent can it destroy——"

Holmes smiled and said, "This is something that will be revealed later."

"You're not very forthright in your words, Mr. Holmes. Is Watson always the one who makes fun of you?"

Li Ye didn't get much useful information from Holmes. He waved his hand and planned to continue to Kabukicho where the Shinjuku Berserker was located.

Seeing this, Holmes did not stop Li Ye.

After all, this meeting was not only because Holmes wanted to observe Li Ye now, but also because Li Ye's absurdly wide-range perception locked onto Holmes who had transformed into the Cave King.

After a day of remote observation and this conversation, Holmes was able to conclude that Li Ye's mental structure had not changed much for this person who suddenly appeared in the singularity.

But the truth behind it surprised Holmes, and Li Ye's growth made Holmes a little stunned.

The gap with the sixth singularity period is really too huge, and what is more important is the dark aurora.

The punch that killed the wolf king Robert and suppressed the wolf king, the magic light seemed to cut through the night.

Holmes possesses the A++ level ability [Innate Insight], which is the ability to discover the essence of things, and his keen observation will not miss any information.

Although the principle is completely different from clairvoyance, it can make predictions that are almost equivalent to clairvoyance's ability to foresee the future.

The third is the Noble Phantasm [Elementary My Dear] which is always activated. It is the Noble Phantasm obtained by Sherlock Holmes when he manifested as a Servant, and it sublimates the [clarification] of his own origin into a Noble Phantasm.

Even if the mystery you are facing is truly unsolvable, there will definitely be clues or ways to reach the truth.

For example, even if there is a treasure chest whose key is lost, the key can be made to [not be lost], and the key will inevitably be found somewhere in the world.

Therefore, almost at the moment they met, Holmes realized the truth that Li Ye had never hidden.

A corner called "Human Evil".

The aurora bloomed again, rushing into the night, but disappeared from Holmes' sight in an instant.

Holmes, standing alone on the rooftop, looked elsewhere, to where Ritsuka Fujimaru was heading to Kabukicho.

"This is a really difficult question, Mr. Liye."
