Sherlock Holmes

Chapter 159 Now, they have no reason

The burly man's expression became cautious, because he did not see when the man in front of him came over.

But he still has some of the essence of being a soldier, which is obedience, so at this moment, his movements did not pause at all.

The next second.

His wrist was grabbed.

The big man frowned slightly, trying to break away, but after exerting all his strength, he found that the other party did not move at all. For a moment, an instinctive reaction to danger came to his heart.

However, Sherlock didn't seem to pay attention to the person in front of him at all. He just looked past him and looked at the deputy dean not far away.

"Old sir, judging from the authority, you can't just seal up a laboratory with just one sentence.

And you said, there are no clues here, so you might as well let us stay here for a while. If you can't find us, you will naturally leave in disgrace.

As for this machine, we definitely won’t touch it.

Of course, I think you shouldn't care either. After all, in your eyes, this thing is just a failed work. "

Sherlock's words actually make sense, but if the truth makes sense everywhere, then the empire must have been different.

Therefore, Vice Dean Holk ignored Sherlock's words at all. In his position, he could completely ignore the existence of most people. In his eyes, Sherlock was just a The most insignificant little character. As we all know, the truth of a little character never makes sense. Even Vice Dean Holk didn't even look at him. He just waved his hands at the other security personnel beside him in disgust. .

After receiving the dean's signal, the tall and thick men gathered around Sherlock with cold expressions without saying a word.

Most of the troops stationed along the Redeker Strait are mixed teams. The Crusaders and the government forces cooperate in fighting. Although the Crusaders have the innate advantage of combat units such as the Contractors, the government forces have a variety of war vehicles and weapons. With the blessing, he also showed a fighting ability that was not at a disadvantage.

As mentioned before, most first-level contractors are not much better than ordinary people, so without the help of demons, most of them cannot defeat a well-trained, disciplined and iron-blooded regular soldier.

Even in the second stage, those contractors who have just been promoted and are manipulative are surrounded by four or five well-trained warriors, and their chances of winning are not too great.

Of course, guys like Badr are definitely not good. They are out-and-out clergy, and the people the church focuses on cultivating must be much better than ordinary second-level contractors. But if you send a team of government combat elites, equipped with full weapons and equipment and command personnel, Deacon Badr is likely to be dragged to death by tactics, booby traps and bullets in a street battle, and in the end even one of the opponent's soldiers will be killed. No one can be touched.

They are not low-level consumables that rely on steam armor to provide combat power and maintain law and order in the city. In any setting, never underestimate those soldiers who are born for war.

As for Sherlock.

In fact, until now, this guy still hasn't attracted much attention from those present.

Because if a cleric comes to the Academy of Life Sciences, he must go through registration and reporting, and everyone knows that the old dean’s daughter has just recently convened a group of powerful people across the empire, and the one who stood out in the end , seems to be a private detective without any background.

It is conceivable that this private detective must be an extremely smart and professional guy with an unmatched talent in the field of solving crimes. Otherwise, it would be impossible to defeat those powerful people with the name.

But so what, no matter what, he is just a private detective.

Therefore, several security personnel quickly gathered Sherlock in the middle, and then they spoke politely, but with an obvious "ultimatum" meaning:

"Sir, please get out of here!"

Sherlock smiled and said nothing, because he also discovered it, and it was useless to say more at this time.

So, after a moment of silence, the big men no longer hesitated and surrounded them together. Several big hands and windy fists and feet were already attacking from all directions. At this moment, Sherlock seemed to He walked towards the person in front of him lightly, and then a few afterimages casually passed by in a very small area. With a few muffled sounds, he forced two or three people back in the moment when no one could see clearly. Several meters away.

In fact, Sherlock is not quite used to this kind of scene, because he is more accustomed to the most direct attack method, kicking joints, twisting limbs, cracking ribs and so on.

In short, he has always believed that only a completely dead enemy is a good enemy. Therefore, just beating someone down or subduing them is very difficult to control. It’s not about controlling the intensity, but controlling the habits. If someone doesn’t pay attention and catches someone’s eye, it will be embarrassing. .

Fortunately, he was quite careful.

A person's chest was hit hard, and there was a sharp pain in the collarbone and shoulder armor. He coughed violently, and then a person's arm was removed. It was dislocated, not removed on a physical level...anyway The distortion of his bones caused him to lose his ability to fight.

The whole process was very fast. The not-so-strong man swayed around among a group of strong men who were a head taller than him. He seemed to be saying a few friendly hellos, but those people all expressed their feelings. They showed extremely painful and frightened expressions, then covered their chests, lowered their arms, and some even leaned over, with a mouthful of blood spurting out of their mouths. The one who came over at the beginning even fell directly to the ground, unconscious. .

Sherlock looked at the people around him who had fallen to the ground or suppressed wailing. He seemed to be very satisfied with the propriety of his strikes. He smiled and nodded, then looked at the old man not far away: "Don't be so surprised, it's just for self-defense." , look here."

He pointed to a spot on his cheek that was deliberately stained with dust: "I was the first one to be beaten, a miserable and humble victim. It hurts."

Vice-President Holk frowned. It was only now that he finally turned his attention to this less noticeable man. However, with this look, he became more solemn and more gloomy.

But soon, he looked at Catherine again:

"Haha, when I first heard that you were recruiting candidates, I thought you were fooling around. Then I heard that the person you finally selected turned out to be a private detective, and I thought your behavior was even more ridiculous.

But now it seems that you still have a little bit of vision. "

The vice president said gloomily:

"But do you think that this way I can tolerate you misbehaving in the Academy of Sciences?

Don't forget your identity!

The Academy of Life Sciences is an independent institution, but you are a clergyman and you represent the Holy See! So have you ever thought about what it means if your behavior in the laboratory falls into the eyes of the imperial government?

If they use this excuse to get involved, will the School of Life Sciences become a resort hotel where you can come and go as you please? "

Hearing this, Sherlock couldn't help but ponder, and seemed a little embarrassed. Indeed, the Academy of Life Sciences is independent of the government and the Holy See, but Catherine, as a clergyman, can freely enter and exit the experimental site. This is simply asking the imperial government to Make a fuss about it.

So if you think about it from the perspective of the Academy of Sciences, there is absolutely a sufficient reason for her to stop the investigation.

She even had to stop the investigation, after all, the competition between the two huge forces could not be reconciled.

what to do.?

However.

Faced with such a problem, Catherine was just slightly startled, then regained her calm and cold expression, and even showed a self-deprecating smile.

I saw her slowly raising her hands, making a gesture of declaring an oath.

“Here; at this time; at this moment.

The 13th Order of Knights under the Adjudication of the Holy See, the Battle Sister, Catherine Charles Darwin.

Take an oath to the Holy Light.

Voluntarily wash away all glory.

Give up all authority, property, merit, and status given by the Holy See.

Not blessed by the Holy Light, not blessed by the Holy Light.

From now on, life and death, illness, suffering, and pain are all self-inflicted.

Death remains unchanged. "

A brief oath.

However, the entire laboratory fell into a deadly silence, like a thunder falling from the sky, depriving everyone of their hearing.

Only the woman's understatement still sounded.
