Sherlock Holmes is not a warp god.

In this world, extraordinary individuals are not particularly rare.

Every university offers courses related to the extraordinary to all students. Outside of university, there are various ways to access extraordinary knowledge, though not as comprehensive or complete as those offered at the university. Awakening is just one path to acquiring extraordinary abilities; engaging in extraordinary professions can also grant considerable power.

All of these depend on whether one can pay the corresponding price.

These costs are obviously insignificant to the military, which has plenty of funds.

The military's superhumans were the ones who left with Major Watkins.

Because of their presence, even with occasional border skirmishes and frequent wars in the New World, the country still enjoys peace and tranquility.

While solving cases, Charlotte inevitably comes into contact with border troops. She has a knack for using the military to achieve her goals.

Charlotte enjoys the thrill of walking a tightrope, which is why he went to the border to play detective games. But this time he's with Fren, and there are quite a few children in the underground laboratory, so it's better to play it safe.

Fren knew perfectly well that in Shylock's mind, substantive justice far outweighed procedural justice. He didn't care about the process in order to achieve his predetermined goal.

Before Sherlock's antisocial personality was fully revealed, using that trait to solve cases was actually quite effective.

Watching Major Watkins operate the equipment quietly, Fren, Sherlock, and Watson headed down the mountain towards the mine.

"Fren," Sherlock called Fren's name.

Furen looked at his second brother, indicating that he was listening and that he should speak freely.

"Which university do you want to go to?" Sherlock asked.

"Berlint, it's closer to home." Fren didn't have any dreams of poetry or distant places; he felt that staying in his own little corner of the world was actually quite nice, and he could occasionally go back to the manor for a bath.

Sherlock simply nodded slightly, offering no advice.

In Ostonia, a school, including a university, can be legally established as long as it is recognized by one of the royal family, the government, or the church.

The true God is not only the God of Light, and the church is naturally not only the church of light.

The level of recognition a university receives is a measure of its quality.

This continent is home to seven universities that are generally considered to be of the highest caliber. Three of them are in Ostonia, including the Berlin Capital University, while the remaining four are in Vistula.

Sherlock graduated from Eden Academy at the age of 18 and entered another university called Stonyhurst University. He completed all his credits and graduated in less than two years. He then founded the Sherlock Holmes Detective Agency in Sleng.

The address is 221b Baker Street.

"Actually, every university, including those with lower recognition, teaches the same first lesson about the extraordinary." Sherlock walked along the road, gazing at the increasingly restless mining area in the distance. "Even the traditions recorded in the black market and ancient books will surely contain the same words."

Sherlock was quite talkative tonight because he felt his first lesson was just light reading and didn't deserve such profound significance. So he decided to help him understand what this first lesson meant before he started school in Fren, and this laboratory was the teaching aid.

"What is it?" Fren, a suitable straight man, was ready to accept Charlotte's kindness.

"Respect life."

Sherlock turned around, stared into Fren's eyes, and said seriously.

His deep gray eyes held a heavy gaze.

"You can despise, hate, or love a person, but these are all based on their character, physique, and conduct. Strip away all that, and what remains is pure life." Sherlock sighed. "You must always respect life itself."

Fren had indeed seen many descriptions of life in the books in the basement.

Using the example of a benevolent father, many cultists throughout history have created numerous illnesses to invoke his blessings, then devoured these blessed individuals to enhance their own flesh-based abilities. They might succeed a few times, but without exception, their actions ultimately resulted in the development of uncontrollable flesh-based powers.

Later generations lamented but failed to learn from their mistakes. Subsequent cultists always felt it was because their predecessors were not cautious enough, neglecting supervision and failing to detect these sacrifices in time, giving them too much time to develop. The more terrifying the flesh-based abilities, the more they awakened the greed of those who bestowed blessings from the benevolent father.

Aside from the benevolent father, similar tragedies also befell the wise men, warriors, and musicians among the other evil gods.

Those cult members always think they can perfectly control everything.

Killing is easy, but gathering and toying with lives will inevitably lead to disaster.

"Life always finds a way," Fren said calmly. "You mean, something unexpected can happen here too?"

"Matter in reality has no meaning to the gods. Just as shrews living underground don't care about the salinity of seawater, reality and the warp are completely different worlds. Any tangible matter is an illusion to the gods." Sherlock continued to speak eloquently, though descriptions of the warp were rarely recorded in books.

How to use the power of the gods is neither the concern of righteous nor evil gods. But the warp is different; everyone tacitly agrees not to frequently interact between the warp and reality.

Fren has not yet seen any of what Sherlock said in the library: "The only thing the two worlds have in common is life itself, because gods are also life."

"The least controversial point today is that 'life is equal'."

"From the perspective of life, gods and ordinary humans are both life forms, capable of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, without any difference. It is precisely for this reason that things truly related to life will attract the attention of gods. This is why there is suffering for a loving father, courage for a warrior, wisdom for a wise man, and joy for a musician."

"The gun I gave you isn't for dealing with the lab staff. The real danger here is those experimental subjects who are at most four or five years old." Sherlock had witnessed an example in the lab branch where the subjects didn't perish in silence but instead erupted from it.

It was because of that child that Charlotte decided she had to completely dispose of these laboratories.

"Life that has been tempered by time is profound. But the seeds of life in their infancy are seen as a different kind of purity by the gods." Sherlock felt a rare headache coming on. "Those who are brought to the laboratory headquarters are all children they deem 'potential.' They gather these children together, thinking they can develop their abilities?"

"Where did you get the courage?"

"Didn't they go to college? They all graduated from junior college?"

The term "college" refers to schools that are not recognized by the royal family, the government, or any church.

Sherlock's emotional fluctuations became increasingly apparent, and he only revealed himself after the army had purged the organization's members.

The pain of the branch offices won't disappear just because of the comforts of the headquarters' hospitals and entertainment facilities. Thanks to divine blessings, these memories will remain dormant in these children's minds, and may erupt at any time.
