People are in the moon, The Sims

"Let me think about where to start?"

As I said before, it was the best of times and the worst of times. Under the rule of Queen Victoria, the entire country's rapid development reached its peak, just because the steps were too big. Underneath, all kinds of darkness and evil also exist. How dazzling the light is, how rich the darkness is.

Under the shadow of the rapidly developing industry are workers who are constantly being squeezed. The rapidly developing technology sacrifices the natural environment. Under the brilliance is endless chaos. Even the police's sight cannot converge everything. in his own eyes.

There is such a couple, they are happy, if the darkness does not find them.

Although the work is hard and can basically be regarded as oppression, with the development of the times, compared with the early days of the industrial revolution, today's workers still have at least some security, so their lives can be lived, and let What gave them the courage to long for a better future was the unintentional birth of a little life.

Although the birth of this little life made the already poor family even worse, it also gave the couple more motivation to yearn for a better life. Because of the poverty of the family, the couple did not plan to have a new life. Having more children is somewhat different from those families who keep having children and hope that the children will work part-time jobs to earn more living expenses.

Wrapped in the love of this couple, the child is growing up day by day. Although he does not have a delicate face, his smile is like the sun in a clear sky, which can always bring a bit of happiness to people, just like a Like the little sun, no one, whether it's this couple or the other neighbors, hates this child.

One day, the grown-up children discovered the hardships of their parents, so they took the initiative to propose to their parents the idea of ​​going out to work some small jobs to supplement the family income.

In fact, in this era, the small jobs that children do are also very dangerous. Not to mention the shady bosses in the factories, if you just clean the chimneys of rich people, you may fall from dangerous places, or even This is because chimneys that have not been cleaned for a long time have too much soot and cause suffocation.

In the eyes of my parents, as long as their children can grow up happily, it is fine. However, this couple cannot resist their children. While agreeing to let their children go out to work, they also made a stipulation that they would not let their children do anything dangerous. The job is just to sell some newspapers.

In this way, although the family of three was busy, their life began to gradually get better, and they even had money to take a family photo.

However, the nightmare came the next day. In the evening, their child had not come back. The anxious couple took to the streets to ask around, and finally got a result. Their child seemed to be asking for help from a sick person. So I held on to the man who didn't know where he was going.

The couple prayed that the road was far away and that their child would come back the next day, but the miracle did not happen.

A few days later, a small body covered with wounds was found in the river.

Chapter 160: Holm, it’s your turn to be the bait

Holm set his sights on the professor, who nodded slightly.

"Yes, that child is the child of this couple, and it is also the good deeds of the person in the information I showed you. It is strange, it is difficult to see that he is such a kind and weak person. He committed such a series of crimes, but it is precisely because of this gentle mask that the case has not been solved to this day."

Looking back at the couple, just because they mentioned the sad thing, the couple had clenched their fists and gritted their teeth looking at the information scattered on the table. There was even blood flowing out. From the palm of the hand, from the mouth, it was obvious that the nails had penetrated into the palm. If possible, those two rows of teeth would definitely be able to crush the enemy's throat.

"We have gone to the police station, but there is no evidence... Obviously there are so many cases being solved every day, why can't we bring the criminals to justice for our children! We are almost unable to give up. If God really exists, why doesn’t God punish that damn devil?”

The professor took the water glass from the side and just poured himself a glass of water quietly. After all, the story was told for such a long time, and he was a little thirsty. "Why do you need to pray to the gods? The ending of the story is never written by the gods. ? The decision is up to you..."

The professor raised the corner of his mouth, and Holm looked out the window to look at the snow. A flash of lightning flashed across the sky at some point.

The next day on the street, a handsome-looking young man was waving the newspaper in his hand. There was no expression on his face and his tone was very dull. He was just waving and hawking. Although the clothes on his body were ordinary, it was difficult to Cover up this young man's extraordinary appearance and temperament.

The young man became the focus of many people just by standing there, even though his face was dusty and expressionless.

Although the light golden hair is not as dazzling as Li Ming, it will definitely not be lost in everyone. The gray eyes are also a feature that attracts people's attention.

The person hawking here is naturally Holm. The clothes on his body were found by the professor from somewhere. They are not close-fitting and are a bit loose. However, this is also in line with the characteristics of children from civilian families. Children from civilian families do not have so many clothes that fit well. You can wear the clothes, and they are basically inherited from your parents or older brothers.

In order to hide the delicate skin and callus-free hands, the professor specially asked his parents to dust some dust on their faces and wear patched gloves on their hands. Fortunately, it was almost winter now, so wearing gloves was not a problem. strangeness.

Holm breathed a sigh of relief, and then rubbed his red earlobes. His hat was temporarily taken away by the professor. In this winter season, which was about to enter, his ears were still a little cold.

No...or maybe this body seems to be a little afraid of the cold.

However, the red earlobes add a sense of vulnerability to this expressionless-looking "stubborn" boy.

Not only that, the excessively pale face also made this young man look a bit frail. The expressionless posture and the somewhat tight clothes made people think that this was a child with a weak body and not a very good one. It's just trying to be strong. After all, children at this age can generally enter factories and do some heavy work.

The professor, who was sitting not far away and drinking coffee in the teahouse, couldn't help but raised his eyebrows slightly. This was his arrangement last night. Although Holm was a bit older, he might have outgrown the prisoner's hunting. After all, the prisoner himself didn't look that good.

Based on the range of children this guy hunts, you can basically judge what kind of thoughts this bastard has through psychology.

However, even though Holm is a bit older, as long as he shows some vulnerability, his face will be the prey that many people will never let go of. This is what James Moriarty said. It is really wonderful. He is obviously an extremely dangerous person. There is such a thing as a lamb-like skin.

Of course, during this period, some noble ladies also proposed the idea of ​​bringing Holm back. How about raising a male favorite? As long as you don’t tell me and I don’t tell, how many outsiders will know? Anyway, it's a money transaction between you and me.

However, Holm’s goal was not to find a big sister and live comfortably, so of course he rejected the invitations from these big sisters.

Just when it was almost noon and the crowd on the street began to dwindle, the man who looked exactly like the portrait came to the street. He looked like a gentle, middle-aged man with not a strong body, like a The literary worker is like a teacher, holding a paper bag in his hand with some vegetables and bread in it.

This man was observing the surroundings as he walked. To be precise, he was looking at the newsboys who were preparing to pack their things and go home. Finally, when he saw Holm, his eyes lit up, and then his steps began to stagger.

Finally, after arriving at Holm's side, he made a show and put his hand on Holm's arm. Although Holm had physical strength that reached the theoretical limit of the human body, at this time, he still remembered his The character was a young man with a weak body, so he stumbled and sat on the ground.

The middle-aged man stood up and looked at the scene in front of him. A flash of light flashed in his eyes. It was the look of someone who had spotted his prey. If the young man hadn't been brought directly to the ground by him, he would naturally give up. His physical strength was not bad. prey, and instead look for weaker lambs.

Then what this middle-aged man will do is his third trick. First, he pretends that he has fallen down and the old injury has recurred. Finally, he asks for help from those around him to keep an eye on his business. He looks at the worried expression of his prey and uses his hand to Some of the food and some of the money are used as bait to get these prey to take the bait.

After all, the conditions at home for children who come out to be newsboys are not that good. If they have the ability to improve their lives at home, they will naturally hesitate. This is why he basically succeeds many times.

Looking at the boy in front of him, after hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded. The middle-aged man put his hand into his coat pocket, where he placed a bottle of highly concentrated ether.

The middle-aged man walked towards the residential area with relatively few people. It was the old city with complicated roads and was populated by poor people. At this moment, these poor people should have gone to work in various factories and construction sites. At the same time, the police were not very willing. Wherever you set foot, you will leave very few clues, and they will even be quickly destroyed by rats.

Chapter 161: We are all wolves in sheep’s clothing, who is afraid of whom?

“It’s great here.”

“It’s great here.”

The middle-aged man had bigger eyes. He didn't expect that the young man standing in front of him said the same thing as him, so he was so frightened that he almost didn't take the ether bottle he had hidden. The way he was in a hurry really made people smile. , the premise is that you don’t know what kind of things this devil in human skin has done.

The middle-aged man had a somewhat flustered and hypocritical smile on his face. His expression seemed to be saying that he hoped he had heard wrongly, "My child, what did you just say?"

Holm turned around. His body, which seemed to be straightened because of his bravery, had completely stood firm, like a poplar tree towering above the earth. His temperament also began to change from the kind of strength and softness to Conversion between bland and dead silence.

For a moment, the feeling that the scythe of death had been pressed against his neck arose in the middle-aged man's heart. As a demon who didn't know how much blood was stained on his hands, this middle-aged man also reacted immediately, he couldn't do it. So calculated!

Holm looked around and couldn't help but nodded. They walked countless small roads, constantly shuttling in this old city, and at the same time they took roads with almost no people. It's normal for you to have one or two people here. They may starve to death because of poverty or die of illness that cannot be treated, but no one wants to care about it, not even the police.

Those gray eyes can see the obsessions of many people buried underground. Of course, these people's obsessions are more about escaping from this painful life.

A missing person in such a place will not be noticed at all. This is really a good place. This is true for this middle-aged man, and it is also true for Holm. To a certain extent, I really have to thank this guy in front of me. Found such a great place.

The middle-aged man's expression, as well as the words he just asked, Holm still looked expressionless, "I said this is really a good place. Since this is the location carefully selected by you, then a missing person It shouldn’t arouse people’s suspicion, right?”

At this moment, the middle-aged man confirmed that the guy in front of him was really waiting for him. Why would this delicate-looking boy focus on him? Could it be that he was a relative of the little lamb he had ravaged before? Or a hired detective?

But no matter which one it is, he still has a chance. Even if the young man in front of him straightens his body, what if his temperament changes? That too pale face cannot be deceived by covering it up casually. People with such skin color must not be in good health.

It is true that this body has lost its life in the traditional sense. The next time should probably be called its service life. If it simply refers to the body, if the so-called good health is compared to normal humans, this is not a use. The word "poor health" can be used to describe it. How can a dead person be compared with a living person?

The middle-aged man poured all the ether in the bottle onto his handkerchief, and then he was fully prepared. As long as he covered the handkerchief directly on the nose of the young man in front of him, everything would end immediately.

The middle-aged man rushed out and raised the cane in his hand, ready to drop it as a weapon at any time.

Getting closer in one step or two! ! The handkerchief has been stuck to this boy's face! !

Now as long as the countdown is 5, this boy will become his lamb to be slaughtered. I didn't expect that I am still somewhat capable now. Even such a boy can solve it, but unfortunately this is just an exception, but it cannot be regarded as the norm. , otherwise this kind of business will give people a greater sense of accomplishment.

Huh?

Why hasn't the boy in front of me fallen to the ground yet? Why are the eyes of the young man in front of me still so clear! The smell is indeed that of ether! !

In this case, then use the cane in your hand to knock the boy unconscious. Even if you will be injured, this is your only way out!

The hard cane fell quickly and cut through the air, bringing with it a burst of wind.

But what the middle-aged man didn't expect was that the boy in front of him just raised his right hand, and then swung forward quickly, causing the cane to be broken directly by the powerful speed and force, and this force directly hit him. At that moment, cracks seemed to appear in the bones of his face, and his whole body was carried away and flew to the side.

With a crackling sound, the middle-aged man hit the wall directly, and then fell into the garbage.

Holm opened his other hand, caught the falling handkerchief, and then smelled it carefully. His mind would analyze the knowledge input by the genes and tell himself that this was ether. For those living humans, It has the effect of anesthesia and making people lose consciousness. Unfortunately, his current state is not considered alive.

Look at the man who was pulled out by himself, and gently squeezed his palm. Maybe it was because of his own control, but it was still a little difficult to control the force. If he hadn't withdrawn it in the middle, With more than half of the power, I'm afraid it will directly pull off the middle-aged man's head.

Of course, as long as the power is withdrawn, it will also cause certain damage to itself, but fortunately, the body will repair itself, and at the same time, it will cultivate some knowledge through self-repair and input it into the brain through the analysis machine, which seems to reduce the burden on the "master".

If the young man who created Holm was still alive, he would be the master of Holm in terms of status.

It's a pity that in order to create a work that surpasses his teacher's, that young man has been scrupulous about the materials of his work and strives for perfection. If he just uses the monkey brain as the brain's thought driver, and cooperates with future training, he might really be able to create an obedient child. Pet humans.

Holm waved his hand gently, found a huge, slightly worn piece of cloth, and directly placed the middle-aged man in it. Then he exerted force on his legs. The strength that theoretically reached the limit of the human body made Huo Mu Mu easily led the middle-aged man to the roof of the bungalow, and then rushed towards the designated place.

Of course, you must also pay attention to your whereabouts. According to the professor, this is London, an area where magicians, church members of the Templar Church, and Brotherhood members are active, and there is also the legendary Frostwolf family, who are keeping a close eye on this place. The security of the country.

Chapter 162: Criminal Counselor

If it weren't for the rapid progress of this era, which would catch people off guard, these magicians, churches, brotherhoods, and the Frostwolf family hiding in the dark would all need to adapt to the times as soon as possible. If it is interrupted during the change, I am afraid that the dark empire under the light will not be so huge.

After all, this is the city of London. If it weren't for a brotherhood dealing with some heretics and the Frostwolf family silently guarding this country, the crimes occurring in various places would be enough to bring down this country.

But it doesn’t need to be like that. I’m worried that magicians are all old antiques and will not come out of their own magic workshops without any accidents. Both the church and the brotherhood are dissatisfied with each other. After all, some jobs and fields dealt with by both parties They overlap. After all, eating the same bowl of rice, how could there not be a little conflict?

But anyway, some people in the church have received some revelations. It doesn't matter if they have friction with the brothers. But if anyone dares to go to full-scale war with the brothers, then He will send a holy son to teach both sides what it means. Be humble.

To a certain extent, both are his children, but one child is more willful and does not intend to admit his existence, but Aiwujiwu, even gods have their own likes and dislikes, and it is obvious that a certain The Assassins were now watched by his soft gaze.

This is an abandoned small village outside London. Even at this moment, the wooden house in the forest outside the village is where our eyes are focused. The man before here has his hands tied with ropes and is sitting firmly. On the chair, there was a ball of towel stuffed in his mouth.

During this process, once the middle-aged man shows signs of waking up, a high concentration of ether will cover the man's nose, causing the man to continue to fall into a deep sleep. That night comes again, and everything in the city enters sleep time. Only then did a carriage arrive at this area.

Sitting in the carriage were naturally the professor and the couple with expectations and hatred on their faces.

When I came to this abandoned hut, I lit the candles around it. The crazy light illuminated everything in the house. The middle-aged man was naturally placed in the middle, while Holm stood quietly to the side and fiddled with the things in his hands. The dagger, the white handkerchief wiped off all the fingerprints on the dagger.

With a faint smile on his face, the professor took off his hat, then made an aristocratic courtesy to everyone present, and then walked to his child's side.

"What a heavy night. There are still people walking in pain in this dark night without seeing the dawn. Good evening, sir."

The professor took a few steps forward and came to the chair prepared by Holm. Finally, he sat on the chair. He had no choice but to pay attention to his waist. When teaching those children, I stopped standing. It would be a bit funny if one day I failed in my task due to waist problems.

"Then, let me tell you another man's story..."

There once was a boy who was born into a doctor's family. Although the family was not considered a wealthy family, it was considered to have a small amount of assets. At least in life, the boy would never be treated badly.

It's just that boys' bodies are weaker and more introverted than those lively children. In the eyes of children, they are a little unsociable, and children who don't go along with others will be punished a little. Looking at it this way, this child seems a little pitiful, right? This can be regarded as echoing Dongfang's words.

Hateful people must have pity.

And he, who was often injured, came into contact with medical knowledge more or less while his father was treating his injuries. In such an environment, the boy grew up, became a young man, and became a doctor. It seemed that everything he experienced as a child It didn't leave any shadow on him, but was that really the case?

"By chance, you found that you began to like the meat of rabbit babies, right? Those rabbits that have not yet fully grown, are delicate and bright red, and full of sunshine and vitality without much attack power. You like the slow rabbits the most. Chew slowly and savor it, and occasionally use various seasonings..."

The professor's words were elegant and profound, as if they came from the depths of darkness.

Holm pulled the hair of the man in front of him and revealed the man's expression, which was frightened, angry and unwilling. At the same time, he also had a bit of nostalgia for the "fresh rabbit meat".

"I'd like to give this gentleman a piece of advice. Don't play poker with other people. Your expression is all written on your face. I really didn't expect that a couple who are trying their best to save lives would have a child like you. .”

There was a faint thunder outside the room, and rain fell from the sky and fell on the ground, washing away all the footprints.

"So... Sir, in order to invite you here, I used some rough methods, please forgive me, but there is a couple who want to meet you alone no matter what... Huo Mm, come back to me, we shouldn’t be the one to end the story.”

The professor stood up and then stepped aside, "Then it's your time, Mr. Klein, Mrs. Klein. Then I'll state it again, sir, madam, what you want to do is in this twisted world, unfortunately. Even if you are classified as a criminal, your determination will not change?"

The professor looked at the eyes of the couple in front of him and understood what the couple was thinking, and then nodded towards Holm.

Holm looked at the couple in front of him. Their gray, lifeless eyes were very similar to his own. It was true. Their eyes were now staring directly at death. With the dagger in their hands that had already processed all the fingerprints, he gently was handed in front of the couple. Under the lightning, the blade shone with a cold light.

The professor gently took off his hat, and the indifferent smile at the corner of his mouth did not change at all, "Then this commission has been completed by my criminal consultant, James Moriarty, so... Please enjoy this half of the rainy night, and then welcome the dawn with the sound of bells."

The professor turned around and nodded gently to Holm. Before the rainy night reached its peak, he returned to the carriage, and the swaying kerosene lamp blended into the night.

Chapter 163: This word is bad for the heart

Listening to the sound of rain outside the carriage, Holm turned his head slightly, looked at the professor who was resting with his eyes closed, and gently asked about the confusion he still had in his heart.

"Professor, will this couple be able to get out of the dark night of grief?"

The professor opened his eyes, but his eyes were no longer as sharp as before. "Whether they can walk out of the dark night depends on themselves. After completing their revenge, they feel at peace in their hearts and welcome the dawn, or in their hearts." Falling into confusion and falling into the night, all the choices are theirs."

The resentment in the heart, after getting along, a person's life may not necessarily turn into a bright future, especially in such an era, not to mention that the couple now only has one child...

After the commission is over, the professor will not be too involved in the development of the client. There are too many similar people in London, not to mention the entire UK.

"In the past, I may have had some justice in my heart, but now...well...maybe I'm just a pleasure criminal."

If you stay in the darkness for a long time, how can you speak clearly about your heart?

"Perhaps I just want to see the world turn good people into evil people, evil people repay evil with evil, and the flowers of evil bloom. I am a pure and crisp evil person, a pure and crisp criminal, yes The existence standing in the darkness should not have any kind thoughts towards me, and never have any kind speculations or hopes towards me.

At least until I step down from this identity, I am the one at the end of the cobweb.

So how do you feel after these two days? Home, you've got a glimpse of the country's bright and dark landscapes. "

Holm withdrew his gray eyes, then closed his eyes, leaned on the carriage, and listened quietly to the sound of rain outside the window. What choice should he make now? No...it is still too early to make a choice now. I am just born and have not been in this world for long. It is better to stay with this professor for a while.

"Are you planning on driving me away? Guardian...perhaps I should call you something else, father?"
