Pastor's Tantra

Haina's words startled Aiwass.

Hearing her sad tone, Aiwass thought that Sherlock had burped in advance due to the butterfly effect... But when he asked again, he learned that Sherlock was just injured.

But Haina didn't know the specific situation - Sherlock took the initiative to call her and tell her. Because Sherlock had previously investigated the Sweater Brotherhood, she had already mentioned the alchemy bomb to Sherlock after reading the newspaper.

However, Sherlock did not answer her questions. He just stated that he was still alive, but she had to keep it secret, and then hung up the phone.

Aiwass couldn't quite understand her explanation. So his first reaction was to call Edward for confirmation.

"——Yes, I know about this. Yesterday afternoon to be exact."

In the Office of the Inspector General not far from King's Law University, Inspector General Edward Moriarty held a phone in one hand and signed a piece of paper with the other hand: "It was basically the same time as the attack on our side. Yes, they should also be members of the Noble Red Society."

"...Mr. Sherlock was also attacked by a superior demon?" Aiwass was a little surprised.

So how did Sherlock survive?

"That's not true - you go and give it to Deputy Chief Assad and let him do what I say."

Edward covered the phone slightly in the middle of speaking and handed the signed note to the person in front of him.

When the sound of closing the door came, Edward continued to talk to Aiwass:

"...Hermes was hit by a bomb. The apartment he rented was blown up from the outside."

"Bomb? Is Mr. Sherlock okay?"

Aiwass was a little worried: "What's the quantity of bombs?"

"It was a large amount, and it basically surrounded his apartment. But the person who installed the bomb was obviously an amateur. He knew nothing about blasting technology, and most of the power of those bombs was wasted, and even interacted with each other. Conflict. Although the house eventually collapsed, thanks to the help of Bishop Mathers, Hermes is still alive."

Edward spoke slowly, suddenly covering the microphone and speaking louder, then quickly lowered his voice and said a few more words, and then switched back: "Yes, I am here, please come in - he is not seriously injured now and is still recovering - Hello, Ms. Olga. Minister Mir has mentioned your husband to me this morning, and we are currently discussing the next step on his sentencing and punishment standards..."

"...Are you busy now?"

Aiwass realized that his call came at an inappropriate time: "Why don't we talk about it when we go home?"

"No, there are only two sentences left. This is very important."

Edward lowered his voice: "Anyway, remember not to go to his house."

"Why?"

"Because the public word in his family is that he is dead - well, thank you for your understanding, ma'am - anyway, if you want to find him, go to the Bishop's house. Oswald knows the exact address."

After that, Edward hung up the phone directly.

He seems really busy over there. It sounded like he was dealing with an incident where a knight's house was confiscated by the Inspector General.

Perhaps because there were outsiders in front of him, Edward's words became unclear. But fortunately Aiwass could understand him... all the important news had been given.

The "bishop" Edward refers to should be Bishop Mathers. Housekeeper Oswald knew his home address.

The Hermes family should be cooperating with Sherlock's plan to go fishing. If Aiwass goes there, he may expose his flaws.

——Then I won’t cause trouble for now. Respect Sherlock's plan.

Aiwass thought.

He confirmed with Haina again: "Who have you told that Sherlock is still alive?"

"I only told you, and then there's Director Kent."

Haina realized that the problem was serious: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, don't tell anyone else anymore."

Aiwass said solemnly: "Mr. Sherlock is preparing to fake his death. There is a high probability that the identity of the murderer is problematic - it may be one of his relatives."

Haina nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood.

It just so happened that Aiwass had planned to go to "Mrs. Mina's Divination Shop" tomorrow. Now it seems that Sherlock is hiding there. Let's go directly to ask about the specific situation tomorrow.

Haina felt a little uneasy, and in the end she didn't read a few pages of the book.

After Aiwass finished his class in the afternoon, she sent Lily and Aiwass back home as she said before, and then took Lily to the Supervision Bureau.

After Haina left at noon, Lily secretly asked Aiwass what kind of tantra book she should choose.

Aiwass said this at the time: "If possible, I hope you can choose a tantra book that adapts to the path. Because I have prepared a gift for you. But you'd better choose the one that resonates most strongly with you. One."

"In this case, I think the most suitable book for me should be the tantra that adapts to the path." Lily answered without hesitation.

Lily clearly valued the opportunity that Aiwass had secured for her.

She was originally a personal maid with no last name. Just because she is an illegitimate daughter, she is not even allowed to study. And thanks to Aiwass's efforts, she even had the opportunity to study at Wangli University of Law... without spending a penny, and she could have good food and housing.

And Aiwass never beat or scolded her. Even when he is not in front of others, he is always kind and gentle to her. It was as if she was not a maid but his friend.

——Lily also knew that there was actually nothing wrong with Aiwass’ legs and feet.

Because on the night that Raff's secretary was poisoned, Aiwass went back and wanted to take a shower. Lily planned to help him wash it, just like at home - but Aiwass just smiled and rejected her.

Lily originally thought Aiwass was just being stubborn, so she stood beside him worriedly the whole time, watching him finish washing without blinking an eye.

It turns out that Aiwass can actually stand up!

She had heard Mr. James say before that there was something in Aiwass's shadow. As a result, that day was the first time she saw with her own eyes what kind of monster was sealed in Aiwass's shadow...

So when Aiwass pulled out the assassin from his shadow, she wasn't surprised at all. It was very peaceful the whole time.

She just felt disappointed because of another thing - Aiwass actually didn't need her to take care of him at all, and his life was not as inconvenient as others imagined. She was just here to cooperate with Aiwass in acting... or in other words, it was because Aiwass wanted her to go to college, so he used the excuse that she needed someone to take care of her.

Lily captured Aiwass' true intentions very keenly.

——Since her meaning is acting, then she must concentrate on acting well.

At that time, Lily stayed up all night and carefully considered the role she would play. She thought about the circumstances in which she might be asked, and how she should react to be more realistic. It is precisely because you have thought up many lies in advance that you will not panic when you use them.

Although Lily felt that she had no talent for either the devotional path or the authoritarian path, she was studying hard. In order to one day be able to repay Aiwass's kindness.

And Aiwass probably saw that she lacked talent and interest in these two paths, so he did not hesitate to waste an important reward but also helped her choose the most suitable tantra book and find her own path.

A legally adapted supernatural being in the Kingdom of Avalon - Lily, who reads a lot, certainly understands what this means.

Because of this, she didn't want to disappoint Aiwass.

——Since Aiwass hopes that he can embark on the path of adaptation, then the tantra book that is most suitable for him must also be the path of adaptation. Even if she changes her nature and personality, she will definitely be able to choose the book Aiwass wants. She looks gentle and quiet on the outside, but she actually has such a fluid and unpredictable personality... Such an intellectual and soft appearance is just fabricated because she is so lovable.

With this thought in mind...the book Lily finally selected was indeed a tantra book adapted to the path.

It is a gray tantric book.

It is about two fingers thick, almost the thickest among these Tantra books which are generally very thin. But its weight is almost non-existent, holding the book is like holding a thin spider web. It seemed as if it would fly up the next moment and disappear the next moment.

"The more recognized it is in the hands of someone, the lighter it becomes. When you are not looking at it, remember to hold it down with something heavy. Lead plates are the best, but steel plates will also work."

Director Kent, who has bronze skin, black eye patches and scars all over his face, looks like a one-eyed pirate, warned: "Otherwise, it might disappear on a rainy day, just like it suddenly appears and disappears at home. Moth.”

On the way back, even with Haina escorting her, Lily still held the book carefully the whole time.

After taking them back to Moriarty Manor, Lily finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

She held the book and knocked on the door of Aiwass' room. There was no response or light inside - Aiwass was not in his room, he must have gone to play with Yulia.

So Lily took the book back to her room and got into her bed. Because only inside the quilt can give her the greatest sense of security.

At this moment, she opened the book solemnly.

The cover of the book reads "Spider Silk Tantra". It matches the first impression of this book very well.

After opening this book.

Waves of grey-white, soft and light, with the smell of dust, rustling whispers gradually penetrated into Lily's ears from her eyes, her skin, her mouth and nose, and her ears. brain.

That voice calls itself "us". It does not speak any language, but a fleeting hallucination. It's like a fragile imagination that arises spontaneously in your mind when you stare at a blank wall and can disappear at any moment.

“—We are the snake’s hair, the cat’s footsteps, the moth’s cage, and the centipede’s noose.”

That illusory voice has a secret name called "Spider Silk", which was born from the creation of "Hui Tiansi", but the real name is kept secret. This book tells about sixty-seven secrets about spider silk.

As Lily read the book more and more intently, gray spider threads condensed around her under her pupils.

Just like a silkworm laying a cocoon, the spider silk gradually surrounded the girl who huddled up while concentrating on reading, and finally silently formed a huge, quiet gray cocoon on the bed.
