Sherlock Holmes

The Temple of Holy Light looks like an overly large church. It is the institution with the highest say in the entire empire. It is independent of the Holy See and the government and does not obey anyone's instructions, not even the Pope or the Emperor.

For no other reason than because the people here are serving the Holy Light.

Although no one has ever known how these servants of God serve the Holy Light and what the Holy Light is, every instruction from the Holy Light Temple is correct, and all the prophecies from here have become reality.

This temple is located on the top of the empire's highest mountain range - 'Elbes'. It is above the clouds and far away from the human world. It is covered with snow all year round and no birds can fly up. In fact, if you think about it, this should be the entire empire. , the closest place to the Antarctic continent.

No one knows why the Temple of Holy Light was built in such a place where there are almost no living creatures. No one even knows how it was built. In short, at some time more than two centuries ago, people had just adapted. During that extremely difficult period when the Holy Light existed, it was discovered that the Holy Light Temple was already located here. All documents about its construction could not be verified, and no one had ever claimed to have participated in the construction of the temple. It was as if it had been there as early as It's like it was here before the Holy Calendar.

The huge golden door was pushed open, and in the extremely empty vestibule of the church, there were no benches for worshipers to sit on, no sacred and magnificent murals, and no colorful windows. There was only a spotless mirror-like floor. The dome is so tall that you will feel dizzy when you raise your head, and the gray monotonous walls are as if there is no need for any beautiful things to embellish it, nor anything to appreciate.

The people here have no desires, no desires, no relatives, families, children, and no ties. The moment they step into the temple gate, they are destined to die here. There is only the Holy Light in their hearts.

The servant of God hurriedly ran through the front hall, his footsteps echoing back and forth in the huge space. Because one of his legs was deformed, he stumbled while running, and finally fell to the ground with a plop, and then crawled forward using his hands and feet. After a while, he came to an old man who was meditating with his eyes closed.

"Master Divine Envoy, there is a revelation from the Holy Light!" He said breathlessly.

The old man known as the Angel of God was wrapped in a golden blanket, his body was extremely stooped, and the curvature of his spine caused his head to be pushed to his chest, and he could only raise his head slightly with difficulty. , and then opened his eyes

There seemed to be a white film in front of his pupils, and it seemed that he no longer had vision, so he could only turn his head in the general direction of the sound: "Is it a sudden revelation?"

"Yes!" The servant of God still looked a little panicked. Because in the nearly ten years he has been the servant of God, the revelation of the Holy Light almost always comes when the first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on the Holy Light Temple. , and does this sudden revelation mean that something very important has happened?

"Don't panic. Sometimes the Holy Light does suddenly send revelations, but often it doesn't have any special meaning. Let's talk about it first."

The servant of God calmed his mind for a moment, then took out an extremely precious roll of golden cloth from his arms, and then spread it out:

"It's a painting."

"Describe it."

"Yes!" The servant of God organized his words: "In the painting, there is a man with short hair, standing on a street, extending his right index finger, and there is a line at the front of the index finger."

"Wire?"

"Yes, it is a line that extends diagonally upward until it reaches the end of the canvas, and then it disappears."

The man tried his best to make his description more detailed, but there was no way, because the piece of paper only used the simplest brush to outline some simple lines, which looked like simple drawings by a five or six-year-old child. pen doodle.

This is [the revelation of the Holy Light].

The people of the Empire have never known how the Holy Light transmits information to humans. Only the people in the temple know.

Well, actually they don’t fully know it themselves.

Because all the revelations come from a very small room.

In the northwest corner of the Holy Light Temple, there is a fully enclosed room with an area of ​​less than two square meters and a height of just over two meters. There are no windows or any gaps. There is only one door that fits tightly. It can even be said that It's the lid. In short, the room looks like a large standing coffin.

And whenever the Holy Light wants to enlighten the world, this door will automatically open.

At this time, a divine servant must walk in with a cloth woven from golden threads, sit on the only chair inside, and close the door.

It must be cloth woven with golden threads. If it is paper made of ordinary material, it will automatically burn in this room and eventually turn into ashes.

And the door must be closed, otherwise the Holy Light will not send down any revelation.

Also, one must go in alone. If there is more than one person, then all life in the room will be killed, their heads will explode directly, or their internal organs will be vomited out, or even melted directly and become transformed inside. It turned into a pool of smelly blood.

After the above conditions are met, the person entering the room will hear the ‘instructions of the Holy Light’.

According to their description, these instructions were not sounds, or some apostle of God appearing in front of them and saying something to them, but a piece of information that appeared directly in their minds.

This piece of information may be a piece of text, a few minutes of sound, or a picture, or even something that you can't describe. What they have in common is that they are all very vague, just like the description of a dream when you wake up in the morning. memory.

Therefore, during this process, the servants of God will quickly draw and write down the revelations they have received, or after walking out of the room, try to use words to describe what they saw, and then ask the servants of God around them to use various methods to describe what they saw. Record until this revelation is completely forgotten.

The picture in the hands of the servant of God at this moment was drawn by one person just now.

There was a very long silence, and the Lord Divine Envoy carefully tasted the meaning of this picture, but in the end, he could not think of anything.

Suddenly, the golden door was pushed open again. This time, a short man with a height of only 140 centimeters ran in, with a huge head and no hair.

In fact, most of the servants of the gods have strange shapes. Some have only three fingers, some have no pupils on one side of their eyeballs, and some even have their mouths and throats missing. As a result, they can only cut an incision in the upper abdomen and directly remove them. The longer the food is poured into the stomach and the longer you stay in the Temple of Holy Light, or the more times you listen to the revelations of the Holy Light, the greater the changes in your body will be. However, the servants of God do not pay attention to this. Instead, they feel that this kind of body The change in the figure is some kind of gift given to itself by the Holy Light, because perhaps in the Holy Light's perception, human beings who look like this are considered beautiful.

At this moment, the short servant of God was also holding a golden canvas and ran quickly towards the Lord God Envoy. His two short legs of less than half a meter were dancing wildly. As he ran, he shouted: " Revelation. Another revelation of the Light!"

The God Envoy frowned slightly, because the time between these two revelations was too close.

"explain."

The short servant of the god quickly pulled away the golden cloth in his hand and said:

“The revelation of the Holy Light is a text:

[The 317th attempt, the contact has been successful. Repeat, the 317th attempt, the contact has been successful. ]"

After listening, the Lord Divine Envoy fell into silence again. Likewise, he once again did not think of any meaning that this sentence wanted to express.

I don’t even know if there is any connection between this sentence and the previous picture.

But there is no way, this is what the people in the Holy Light Temple do every day to interpret the Holy Light.

Because the Holy Light is omniscient and omnipotent, it theoretically does not have the concept of time or space. On the contrary, it may not be able to understand human beings' dull understanding of time and space.

Therefore, it is reasonable that not all the revelations given by the Holy Light can be understood by humans.

"Put it in the Book of Revelation that is 'to be analyzed' and send five people to interpret it." The Lord God Envoy said.

"Yes!" A servant of God responded immediately, but he hesitated again: "But Sir, I heard that one night a few days ago, the empire suffered a very large-scale murder of the Holy Son of the Holy See, so this paragraph Could the text and this picture be some kind of revelation from the Holy Light regarding this incident?"

".?" The face of the old divine envoy was already covered with wrinkles. At this time, his expression showed a slight displeasure, making him look like a dehydrated potato: "Do you think the Holy Light cares? These? Or should we care about these?"

The servant of God was startled and immediately lowered his head.

"From the moment we step here, we should not care about anything outside the temple. Whether it is the empire or the government, there are only the highest level requests, and after many considerations, it is considered the most worthwhile situation. Only then will it be adopted, and only then can the Holy Light help humble humans. At any other time, the Holy Light can do whatever it wants! Give what kind of revelation it wants to give! understand?"

The servant of God lowered his head and listened intently to the old man's words without any rebuttal.

"Okay, go and do your business."

The two divine servants immediately bowed and walked out of the hall. The old divine envoy also closed his eyes again, as if he would sit like this forever until he turned into a skeleton.

As for the two holy light revelations, they were all sent to the interpretation room. I don't know when and what month it will be until the meaning can be truly deciphered.

Naturally, it is impossible for anyone to know, in the hell at this moment.

The light became brighter and brighter, becoming wider and wider, until it almost enveloped the entire world, and then it finally dispersed with a 'whoosh' and turned into the tiniest specks of dust.

And it was only then that Sherlock finally opened his eyes, which were a little dry due to the light.

Then he looked at the gas lamp that gave off a dim light, and was stunned for a long time.

Only then did he finally realize that the eyes he opened this time were in reality.
