The sin of wearing a crown

Is Shylock a worthy partner?

When Mr. Detective sent out the invitation, Linn immediately suppressed his emotions and looked at the prospect of cooperation between himself and Sherlock from a rational perspective.

Both of them are extraordinary people with official backgrounds and belong to different departments. The [Suppression Bureau] is the law enforcer under the light, and the [Destiny Bureau] is more like the person behind the scenes who controls the direction of events. These two roles Naturally, there is some difficulty in dealing with it, and judging from the history of slight disputes between the two departments, this is indeed the case.

Putting aside the department and looking at individuals and relationships, well, Linn felt that she and Sherlock had no basis for friendship at all, as if the gray sky in front of her was mixed with drizzle.

but……

There is one thing about Sherlock that Linn has to admit, that is, this guy is quite powerful. If he cooperates with him, he can easily use him to investigate the Tantric Chapter and Mr. Umbrella.

Lin thought for a moment in silence, and gave his answer in Sherlock's inviting eyes.

"Sorry, Mr. Holmes, I think we are missing a very important basis for cooperation."

"What is it?" Sherlock was puzzled, wondering if Linn was possessed and fell into some kind of resistance.

"Camaraderie."

Sherlock couldn't help but frown when he heard this. The friendship Linn mentioned here was the way he looked at other people like a novelist. No one wants to be a pre-arranged character in someone else's novel. It has been difficult for the [Destiny Bureau] to stand in the light like the [Suppression Bureau] for a long time, because this kind of manipulation and guidance is disgusting.

Can a person who treats others as characters in a script really have a heart-to-heart relationship?

Lin En thought that even a straightforward and crude exchange of interests would be better than this kind of person, because the other party may not care about interests and will arrange it for you directly.

Although it is not that easy to guide this [line] ability, if this person can do this, there will be a barrier in my heart. Sherlock naturally understood Lin En's hint, and his expression seemed to be saying, how come you, an extraordinary person, are as superstitious as ordinary people.

"We can't cooperate, but the deal is still okay." Linn played a simple and reasonable emotional roller coaster with Sherlock before he expressed his displeasure.

The detective has achieved his basic goal and doesn't care about the difference between cooperation and transaction.

The two of them were thinking without saying a word and walked forward on the slippery stone road for a while. Sherlock's guiding effect of dispersing idlers has expired. This hazy path has become more popular. The falling raindrops hit each other's bodies from time to time, filling the air with moisture that embellishes everyone.

After a while, Sherlock took the initiative to speak.

"Ziegler, he also looked for me." A flash of memory flashed in his eyes, and he directly confirmed that Dr. Ziegler had looked for Linn. You could guess this with your eyes closed.

"Ziegler and I fought side by side on the battlefield for a while, and I also picked up Watson at that time, who was our bodyguard. When I came to [Steam City], she was already there After living here for a while, when she came to me, she told me a ridiculous thing about how perfect human beings are..."

As Sherlock told him, Linn learned that Dr. Ziegler had also asked others to discuss the role of emotions in human beings, as well as the issues of perfection and imperfection.

Obviously Sherlock did not give Ziegler a satisfactory answer like Lynn did.

Human beings are not perfect, so why should we change it? Is the status quo bad?

Linn could easily tell from Sherlock's tone that he was sincere when he said this. It was very difficult to put your thoughts into other people's heads, but Sherlock also felt some faint regret. Maybe he didn't even notice it himself. He respected Ziegler very much and had a comradeship with Ziegler. After learning why Ziegler acted like this in the Lower City, he realized that he had missed an opportunity. , the genius detective regretted this.

He tried to stop the bad script directed by this colleague.

Sherlock is not Ziegler.

Lynn also has no interest in telling a great story again, because the same story has completely different effects on different people. He listened to Sherlock's slightly regretful story in silence before speaking objectively.

"I don't know where you stand." Linn didn't know how to evaluate Sherlock. He felt that Sherlock was a very smart and contradictory person. The benchmark for everything he did seemed to come entirely from his own judgment. Which side is he on?

"Like you, I stand on my own side." Sherlock's answer was somewhat unexpected.

"Yeah?"

Sherlock smiled meaningfully and no longer dwelled on this topic. Regarding Ziegler, the argument, and regrets, although he did not fully know the truth about the Lower City, he believed that Lynn had at least convinced Ziegler.

"I recently discovered an interesting thing while investigating the tantric chapters."

The bargaining chips have been thrown out.

"I'm interested in that."

Linn took the chip and expressed his willingness to trade.

"I once mentioned to you the true tantra chapters and the forged tantra chapters by later generations. In fact, every true tantra corresponds to a true god."

Lin En knew that the lady in the story of the "Fruit Tantra" was the "Mother Goddess of Fertility", and the counterpart of the "Shedding Tantra" was the "Daughter of Cups". Well, the history of these two righteous gods, who mostly appear in female form, can be traced back to the beginning of records and continues to this day, which is really hilarious.

Lin En only dared to joke in his heart. If it was publicized, some believers might throw excrement on the door the next day. These are two righteous gods, one for fertility and one for fertility.

"What about the forged ones?"

"There is a correspondence, but it is obvious that the true god corresponding to the true tantra is at least the true god before [Forged Heart] ascended to the throne of God. I have not found out the specific rules. My understanding of the tantra chapters is only It’s limited to the story, so I won’t go into details.” Sherlock shrugged, took out a match and tobacco leaves, and prepared to take a sip for himself.

Lin En was walking and suddenly stopped.

He looked at Sherlock with a strange look.

"Is it true that if you don't understand the secret rituals and mysterious knowledge of the tantric chapters, you won't be attracted by the concept of the mysterious realm?"

The young gentleman remembered that when he and Sherlock met for the first time to talk about the tantra chapter, the guy didn't remind him of this. Looking back now, this guy definitely took advantage of the information gap to guide him, hoping that he would be involved in the conflict. In matters related to the Shedding Tantra].
