Black Book

Chapter 147 Morality and Etiquette Still Bound Him

Pinching his brows in pain, Sherlock Voss tore off the simulated portrait, crumpled it up and threw it away.

There would be no way you could find someone using this thing!

Then, he stopped paying attention to the agitated natives and turned his gaze to the boys and girls in the corner.

Leaving the task of comforting the family to the Aboriginal police, Sherlock Voss stepped forward, chuckled and nodded.

"Hello."

"Hello."

The leading girl nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly, with an indifferent expression, and seemed not to want to talk more.

Seeing this, Sherlock Voss simply pulled open the hem of his coat, revealing a purple and gold three-lion emblem with a crown on the lining of his coat.

"Sherlock Voss, Superintendent of Scotland Yard, are you a contestant?"

Seeing the noble and elegant purple-gold luster, the faces of the group of boys and girls became serious, and their impatient eyes instantly became clear and respectful.

"Yes, my lord."

"What happened?"

"It was done by Dragon's people!"

"That guy is so rude!"

"We should complain to the Yanhuang Arsenal!"

Restricted by the Extraordinary Convention, they could not reveal any reality-related information to the creatures in the fantasy realm. When they saw their "adults" coming, they immediately found their backbone and began to complain.

Listening to their description, Sherlock Voss's mind quickly outlined the whole picture of the matter.

Then he couldn't help biting his pipe and frowning.

"Why did the Dragon's men attack the British officers' banquet?"

"Is China preparing to interfere in this world on a large scale?"

"That shouldn't be the case. The Eternal Gate has not yet been built, and countries around the world don't have the energy to develop this fantasy realm..."

Hearing his mumbling, Tia hesitated for a moment, then spoke through gritted teeth.

"I think this has nothing to do with the Chinese upper class. It's a typical lone wolf incident!"

"Um?!"

Sherlock Voss's eyelids twitched, and he looked around at the blonde girl, and suddenly raised a friendly smile.

"Are you Elizabeth Tia?"

"Uh...yeah."

"Your brother and I are friends. I didn't expect to meet you in this kind of occasion."

After some casual greetings, Sherlock Voss quickly got the topic back on track.

"Why do you think this was a lone wolf incident?"

Tia pondered for a moment, organized her words, and spoke in an orderly manner.

"First, there was only one attacker!"

"Second, the attacker's mental state was a bit strange. It didn't seem like it was premeditated."

"Third, the attacker personally admitted that he came in on a whim after seeing the sign outside that said [Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter]..."

Hearing this, Sherlock Voss had already grasped the key point and held his forehead with a headache.

This is definitely something that a Chinese warrior can do!
If they didn't see the sign, they could still turn a blind eye to it, but once they saw it...

If they can't vent their anger, it will be more painful than killing them! In serious cases, they will be depressed and even their [Dao Heart] will be damaged, and they will develop inner demons!

But this guy is a bit too strong...

Looking back at the main building of the manor which was almost in ruins, Sherlock Voss narrowed his eyes slightly.

Those indigenous officers are not ordinary people without any resistance. They are war machines carefully cultivated by the British Empire!
Even if I want to deal with them, it will take a lot of effort...

According to Tia and the others' description, that guy used the sealing technique to besiege and kill a group of officers!

There is not a single tactical skill, it's just pure violence!
More importantly, that guy’s real age seems to be one or two years younger than Tia and the others!

Thinking of this, Sherlock Voss's breathing stagnated and his pupils suddenly shrank.

Could it be the legendary [Abyss]? ! !
Son of China?!

That person is on the same level as Lord Gabriel!
Call ~
Taking a deep breath, Sherlock Voss looked at the boy and girl in front of him with a complicated and grateful expression.

"Fortunately... he still abided by the rules and did not kill innocent people..."

Hearing this, a group of young boys and girls seemed to have their sad stories brought up and couldn't help but complain.

"That guy is very bad, he has been trying to lure us into taking action!"

"He wanted to kill us all from the beginning!"

"Too insidious!"

"Luckily, Tia saw through his plot and we didn't fall for it!"

Listening to the ignorant complaints of these young people, Sherlock Voss could only give a polite yet awkward smile.

"You should be thankful that the Dragon's morality and etiquette still restrain him..."

Listening to Sherlock Worth's meaningful whisper, Tia frowned slightly, and inexplicably remembered the advice her brother once gave her.

Why do you adults look down on me in your words and deeds? !

Am I weak?

Every time you talk to me it's like I'm a Muggle!
I am a top Master who is only one step away from hegemony!!
However, without noticing the girl's inner resentment, Sherlock Voss looked towards the ruins quietly. Across the long distance, he saw a corpse deeply embedded in the reinforced concrete beams.

"One brigadier general, a dozen colonels, more than thirty lieutenant colonels and majors..."

"The entire British Empire will be heartbroken this time."

..............................

At the same time, in a dark underground space dozens of kilometers away from the crime scene, a bloody and cruel sacrificial ceremony was slowly unfolding.

Nearly a hundred sinners screamed and wailed, suspended in the air by an invisible force, twisting in a spiral bit by bit, squeezing out the last bit of "value".

Brain, blood, bone marrow, essence, luck, life span, health, beauty, strength...

Tangible, intangible, abstract, concrete...

All "valuable" elements condense under the authority of [greed]. The originally illusory concepts are embodied and collapsed, turning into real and shining gold coins.

Afterwards, corpses that had been drained of their "value" fell and piled up, forming a pyramid of corpses in the center of the seven-pointed star formation. At the top of the pyramid, a small pile of gorgeous gold coins floated in the air, emitting a bewitching seven-colored divine light.

[Greed]: LV.5→LV.6 (193/2000)

[God] +6
[Effect] +5
[Qi] +2
Feeling the mysterious energy injected into his body out of thin air, Zhu Haomiao sighed with satisfaction and waved his hand casually. The [Greed Gold Coins] floating in the void turned into flowing light and fell into the hands of every "believer" who participated in the sacrifice.

Some received three to five coins, some received one or two coins. Everyone received the "reward" they desired and immediately became excited to buy the "miracle" that ordinary people could hardly imagine!
Beauty, health, strength, longevity, wealth...

The "value" squeezed out of the sacrifices is fed back to the "believers", bringing them earth-shaking changes.
