My esoteric uncle Jules

Chapter 51: Failure to succeed is unforgivable (Please read it on Tuesday)
"Wait, Jules, I have something to tell you."

Yule, who had already stepped halfway out of the door, slowly retracted his foot, turned his head and said:

"Mr. Steel, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Hearing Yule's unfamiliar tone, Lutos smiled bitterly and said:
"Did you...really make this decision after careful consideration?"

Jules just looked at Lutos quietly and nodded slightly.

"Of course I'm aware of the consequences."

Then he saw Lutos take out a small leather bag from his arms and throw it to him.

"What is this?" Jules opened the bag and saw a strange compass inside.

Lutos's eyes were complicated:
"This is what Master Centipede ordered.

He said, if you make a similar decision based on rationality, give it to you.”

Jules picked up the compass from the leather bag, and at the same time, he suddenly had an inexplicable sense of a certain existence in a distant land.

The compass needle swayed until it completely stopped, and his perception finally became clear.

The existence that the pointer pointed to seemed to have an inexplicable connection with himself, and although he had never felt this connection before, he felt it was quite familiar.

It was as if the two were still in the same ritual.

His lips moved and he whispered doubtfully:

"Karl?"

After eliminating all the conditions, the existence that this compass can sense is most likely Carl who is already in the Rock Islands!

Only Carl and I have a clear ritual connection!

In other words, at this moment, Carl no longer has sole control over his position, he can also use it to hunt down the opponent!

Lutos smiled helplessly: "He also asked me to give you a message."

"The most unforgivable crime is failure to succeed."

Upon hearing this, Yule's mouth curled up slightly:
"'Centipede'... I'll remember that. Thank him for me. If I'm lucky enough to come back, I'll pay him a visit when I have time."

Combined with the compass that could sense Carl, the meaning of Centipede's words was clear -

Killing Carl might seem like trouble, but the centipede might be happy to do it, and it might even help him get rid of his tail.

What is most unacceptable is that I took action but failed to kill him!
In other words, the other party's underlying intention is to support one's revenge!

Thinking of this, Jules let out a long sigh and felt much calmer.

He originally had no good feelings towards the centipede, but now it seems that it is not unreasonable for the other party to have risen to the top of the Defense and Suppression Bureau.

Seeing this, Lutos sighed and said:

"I know you've made up your mind, and we won't stop you. Now, you can say goodbye to your friends and pack up."

Having said this, he paused, his tone extremely complicated:

"Of course, I still hope you don't take this road again, because it's too dangerous. We can't provide you with any help, otherwise it will easily cause disputes."

In response, Jules just chuckled:
"It's better to die standing than to live on my knees. As for help, the greatest help you can offer is if you don't stand in my way."

"Perhaps, my future self will understand you, but right now, I have no choice but to do this."

The look in his eyes when he looked at Rutos was much clearer.

At least, the concern in the other party's words was not false, and he really didn't want to go down this path.

Jules knew that this road to revenge was extremely dangerous, and even with the help of a compass, it would still be full of dangers.

Even if he had the tusk scepter as a trump card, the success rate was not high.

But sometimes, people have reasons to do so.

In that hometown that has become blurred and distant, there is a sentence that describes his current choice:

Do it knowing you can't do it.

……

"Are you leaving?"

Holmes sat across from Jules and Lolita, his expression calm, seemingly unsurprised by Jules's departure. Jules rubbed his coffee cup, a bit dazed, and after a while, he said:

“There are things I have to do.”

Holmes raised his head slightly, his deep eyes looking directly at Jules:

"When will you come back?"

Jules took a sip of coffee, tried to calm himself down, and said:
"Until I kill Carl. The Rock Islands are not far from Great Britain. I can go back and forth within a day. As long as I achieve my goal, I will come back at any time."

Will he come back? He doesn't know.

Holmes smiled and said:
"Then I hope it won't be too long."

Having said this, he suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Jules.

"Dear Jules, I feel a power called courage from you, a power that cannot be quantified by reason, but it does exist.

I'm sorry I can't help, I can only do my best to fulfill my promise."

Jules looked at Holmes, then turned to look at Lolita. He couldn't help rubbing her head and sighed:
"I'll leave Lolita in your care during this time."

"Don't worry," Holmes said with a gleam in his eyes. "I told you I would protect her."

Lolita had remained silent from the beginning until the topic turned to herself, then she spoke in a low voice:
"Uncle, will you come back?"

"Yes," Yule grinned, trying to put on an optimistic smile, "It's not like I haven't fought that guy before, it's no big deal."

He was indeed confident of killing Carl, the difficulty lay in how to get close to him and determine his location.

However, now that he has the help of a compass, his original tiny hope has been magnified several times.

Of course, if everything goes well, he also plans to enter the sixth historical fragment called "Jack the Ripper" and get the map of Stonehenge.

If possible, it would be a good idea to explore Stonehenge along the way.

Lolita said "Oh" and lowered her head again and fell silent.

It can be seen that she is in a very low mood.

“When do you intend to start?” asked Holmes.

Jules pondered for a while, glanced at Lolita beside him, and said:
"nighttime then."

Before that, he has to make preparations.

Since the "centipede" from the Anti-Suppression Bureau has given me full implicit support and left me time, I will never let him down.

He did not forget the will conveyed by the previous "wave".

……

After sending Holmes away and finding an excuse to let Lutos send away the anti-suppression bureau agents in the dark, Jules tried to see if he could bring Lolita into the fragment of the sixth history. The result surprised him.

Although Lolita's connection with himself was almost instantly severed at the beginning, another force forcibly opened this "crack", temporarily opening the door between the two histories.

Even if no one said it, he could guess where this power came from.

At this moment, apart from the "wave" of the past, who else has such great power?
The world before my eyes began to spin and disintegrate and reorganize.

[Sixth Historical Fragment: The Sinking of the Titanic]

【Echo of the Tide】

[Target: None]

[Reward: None]

[Secret History Integration Degree: 100%]

[Current number of losses: 0/1]

Even the information in the Sixth History Fragment had undergone subtle changes due to Si Chen's powerful interference...

Yule scratched his clothes and his face suddenly looked a little strange when he heard the prompt.
