My esoteric uncle Jules

Chapter 41 Is the steak alive?
[Sixth Historical Fragment: Jack the Ripper]

[After the belly is opened, what is exposed is the human heart]

[Goal: Kill the designated secret believer and complete revenge]

[Reward: "Stonehenge" Map]

[Secret History Integration Degree: 0%]

[Hint: There are hidden elements in the fragments. When the secret history integration degree reaches 100%, it means the exploration is complete.]

[Every time history turns, the fragments will be lost further until they completely collapse]

[Current number of losses: 0/1]

Only one chance...

Jules pondered for a while, and finally decided to look at the information on the map first.

He remembered that there was also a very famous Stonehenge in England in his previous life, but he didn't know if there were any similarities between the two.

Stonehenge Map

[Quality: First-class rare item]

[Effect: Records a place called "Stonehenge."]

[Introduction: Travelers have ventured deep into it, but never emerged again—it is said that it hides hidden truths and erased histories.]

"The hidden truth and the erased history..."

Jules stared at the final introduction, his eyes gradually becoming solemn.

Judging from the description, this "Stonehenge" is very likely related to secret history!

Secret histories are codes of alternate realities that have been suppressed, forgotten, or erased, and this description fits perfectly.

Even if secret history does not dominate it, it is definitely a very important place.

"Then it seems I have to prepare well..." Looking at the only time he failed, Yule felt a lot of pressure.

This means that he has no room for error in this fragment of the Sixth History. If he fails, he will never get this map!
"Jack the Ripper is here...will an octopus-headed guy show up next and call himself Cthulhu?"

Jules shook his head and temporarily put the matter of the Sixth History Fragment in his heart.

Right now, the external crisis has not yet passed. After resolving the issues here, he will go and take a look at this fragment of the Sixth History.

However, Jules still has a question——

Why did I suddenly capture the fragments of Jack the Ripper?
He recalled the previous scene of the Titanic.

At that time, he first realized that the ship he was on was the Titanic, and only then did he capture the sixth fragment of the Titanic's history.

So, does this mean that I have been involved in the case of "Jack the Ripper" invisibly?

After figuring this out, Yule's mouth twitched slightly:
"It really is a big surprise for me..."

In any case, one thing is certain - it won't be long before someone comes to kill me.

……

Holmes lay in a comfortable rocking chair and said leisurely:
"The good news is, I checked and nothing in the room was tampered with."

Yule leaned on the bed and said quietly:

"The bad news is that if we don't arrange anything, there's a high probability that they think the things they send out will definitely kill us."

Jules saw that Holme suddenly raised his head and stared at him.

"…Why are you looking at me like that?"

"rely on you."

Holmes said lazily:
"After all, I'm just an ordinary detective. I can use a pistol at best, but I don't have much fighting ability."

The corners of Yule's mouth twitched:
"If I can't beat you, I will definitely abandon you and run away!"

Holmes smiled indifferently: "I wouldn't necessarily lose to you in terms of running away."

The first-level "Lantern Bearer" has the ability to blend into the shadows. Its frontal combat capability may not be strong, but its comprehensive ability is extremely powerful.

Therefore, Holmes' words were not exaggerated.

Jules was about to continue speaking when he suddenly heard an unfamiliar sound of the tide.

The surge of blood was undetectable to others, but he could hear it clearly. "Hush, someone's coming."

He made a gesture for silence, and Holmes nodded slightly, picked up a newspaper from the side and began to read.

dong dong dong.

"Are you two here? The master said that you two have been working so hard for so long and haven't eaten, so he specially fried steaks for you as a reward!"

Jules and Holmes looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"It doesn't look like an attack... And besides, Holmes, you're holding the newspaper upside down."

At this, Holmes hummed a little tune and turned the newspaper around as if nothing had happened.

Really...why does it feel like Holmes is becoming more and more out of tune than when we first met? Jules couldn't help but hold his forehead.

However, it is also a good thing. At least it means that the other party has not been assimilated too much by the Code of Light and still retains a considerable amount of emotional aspects.

Perhaps Holmes, with rationality as his absolute dominant force, would be a good detective, but probably not a good friend.

"Wait a moment, I'll open the door."

Yule opened the door gently, his body tense, fearing that something he had not noticed would attack him.

The door opened, and standing at the door was only a servant with a smiling face. In each hand he held a plate with a steaming steak on it.

No matter how you look at it, they appear harmless.

"I don't think we mentioned being hungry, did we?"

"No, my Lord, you two are respectable people. How can you say such a thing? It would be disgraceful to say it!"

The servant chuckled and said cautiously:
"Then, these two steaks..."

Yule thought for a moment and said:
"Put it on the table."

"okay!"

After the servants left, Jules sat down at the dining table, greeted Holmes, and said with a smile:

"How about it? Do you dare to eat it?"

Holmes's mouth curled up slightly:

"Why not? But I have to check first."

Yule's gaze remained on the steak in front of him. He stared at it for a long time, but no information was deciphered.

"It doesn't look like an extraordinary item... If Holmes has no problem testing the poison, then there's no problem eating it."

According to his spiritual perception, there was nothing unusual, it was just an ordinary steak.

After all, he is just a first-level transcendent, not much stronger than an ordinary person. If he is hungry, the decline in his combat effectiveness will be more than just a little bit.

After a while, the results from Holmes finally came out.

"It doesn't look unusual. There's nothing else attached to it."

The faint light in his eyes gradually faded, and he smiled faintly:

"Since it's confirmed to be non-toxic, then eat it. Eliminate all possibilities of it harming people, and the only thing left is the answer that it's edible."

As he spoke, Holmes picked up the knife beside him and began to cut the steak and put it into his mouth.

"Hey, don't be so impatient..."

Seeing that Holmes had already put the steak into his mouth, Jules sighed helplessly and cut a piece of steak and put it to his mouth.

He didn't rush to eat, but watched the steak quietly.

For some reason, this steak exuded a strange temptation, and even made him want to ignore his image and gobble it up.

"Am I...that hungry?"

Jules suddenly realized something was wrong.

Just then, he heard the faint sound of the tide.

When he determined its source, his eyes suddenly widened.

This wave of blood comes from...

The steak in front of you!
