Sherlock Holmes

"You sent the baby to the gate of hell?"

"right."

"Haha, it sounds like you are the most inhumane party." Sherlock said.

"The size of human nature has different manifestations in different environments. For example, if the video was released to you before, I believe that no one in this world would feel sad for you.

Also, in the early years, we tried to correct the fetal mutation, but after countless efforts, we finally discovered that this mutation is irreversible and will continue to deepen with age.

Can you imagine a child whose lungs are outside his body and who feels heartbreaking pain every time he breathes? What is his greatest wish?

It's death, or wishing you had never appeared in this world.

But humans need to reproduce, so this kind of babies will continue to appear. In comparison, sending them into a space-time rift is much more useful than sending them directly into an incinerator. This is an inevitable result, just like a mantis or a spider. After mating, the female will eat the male to provide nutrients for laying eggs. No one cares whether this behavior is unethical, because it is what must be done. "

Sherlock didn't attach much importance to the concepts of human ethics, but when he thought about the demons he had killed, many of them were children who were not fully developed, he still felt a little nervous.

Especially when I think of what I once said to Shen Hong:

"No one would associate a large demon that is more than seven meters tall and can punch 200 tons of force with a three-month-old child."

Looking back now, it is really ironic.

"Then what do you want when you send these babies into our world?" he continued to ask.

"Looking for a life coordinate, we implanted this coordinate into the minds of all children through subconscious implantation." Lilith replied directly: "Didn't I say it before, three hundred years ago, the people in your world He traveled through the rift in time and space, came to our world, and snatched away the artificial sun control device. At the same time, he also snatched away the instrument that shields the variation of time and space.

These are historical records from 300 years ago. In fact, we don’t know what this so-called [Spacetime Variation Shielding Device] is.

It might be a certain kind of clothing, or a mechanical warehouse, or some kind of medicine. Anyway, you destroyed all the data.

Fortunately, in the past three hundred years, our scientific researchers have never relaxed for a moment. After countless failures, we finally cultivated a unique embryo.

In fact, this is not only the result of countless experimental breedings, but also a large part of the reason is due to mutation. In short, this embryo has incredibly powerful vitality, and it is the only embryo we have ever seen that can self-repair space-time mutations. Life form.

This embryo can travel through the cracks in time and space, but it will not turn into a monster!

At that moment, we seemed to see hope. Through this embryo, we should be able to develop a new [Space-time Variation Shielding Device]. We can even use her as a prototype to perform some cloning or gene transplantation, and directly breed A new generation affected by the time and space rift.

Oh, I'm sorry, you may not understand many terms, but it's not important. In short, I hope that at that moment, I will wave to the entire human race again, and we will finally find the possibility to escape from this world. "

Sherlock did not interrupt, because Lilith's tone did not sound impassioned, but was full of helplessness.

Obviously, this passage will be followed by a [but].

Because they are still trapped in hell and can only wait to die.

really--

"However, more than 30 years ago, a defector traveled through a rift in time and space and came to our world. He called himself Dante. His power exceeded all of our imaginations. It was also the first time that we truly Come into contact with the life form of [Contractor].

That guy killed many, many people and destroyed many, many things. We chased him and forced him into a desperate situation, but in the end he ran away.

Well, that's not important.

The important thing is that before he left, he took the embryo away!

That guy once again ruthlessly crushed the hope of the entire human race. "

When Lilith said this, she finally stopped, because after that, nothing worth mentioning happened. They were still in hell, and were still accompanying the world to its demise bit by bit. Maybe 30 years was too short. , these people have not yet recovered from finding hope again and again and having their hopes shattered again and again.

Sherlock wanted to use reason to speculate on the state of mind of people in this world living in despair, but he failed. What kind of hatred and unwillingness will be bred from hundreds of years of accumulation of despair? , cannot be simulated by reasoning.

But after hearing so much, he must have understood that the life embryo that was taken away was most likely Nightingale.

"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, Sherlock was stunned and thought of a question that he should have thought of a long time ago:

"But according to you, the lives that pass through the gate of hell will suffer a large degree of mutation, but why am I still intact?"

"Obviously, we have detected traces of that life coordinate in your body. It seems that in your world, that special embryo has completed external delivery. This may take more than ten years, but she obviously She has grown up, and you are very close to her, are you a couple?"

"no."

"Whatever, anyway, under her influence, you seem to be lucky enough not to turn into a monster."

Sherlock frowned:

"However, even if the embryo in your mouth can affect long-term contact with her and the people around her, the defector more than 30 years ago did not have any protection measures at all when he first passed through the gate of hell. There is no such embryo around.

How did he escape becoming a monster? "

"." Lilith was silent. She did not answer Sherlock immediately. Instead, she looked at him with a puzzled look: "What did you say?"

"I asked, why didn't the man named Dante turn into a monster?"

Lilith's expression of confusion became more intense:

"I don't know what you are talking about, but that guy has turned into a monster.

Very scary, very scary monster”
