Sherlock Holmes is not a warp god.

Chapter 64 Mycroft's Mental Journey

Floren's evenings were quite busy, even though he had compressed them into a schedule.

Practicing spiritual practice, reading books, and taking notes on university courses.

In the end, only less than four hours are left for sleep.

Fren now has a way to restore his energy without sleep, but not sleeping is somewhat self-harming, and Fren is not an ascetic.

As the morning sun streamed into the room, and photosynthesis on Freun's body became active again, his consciousness also returned.

As he got out of bed, Fren glanced out the window and saw that the entry under the tree was no longer there.

After changing into a brand-new suit and putting on Mycroft's tie clip and Sherlock's cufflinks, Fren pulled out a cloak he hadn't worn in a while—a golden garment reserved for the Emperor's apprentices.

Made entirely of silk and velvet, it is inlaid with metallic threads that form a pattern and a name.

The main design features a balance scale, with a book on the left and a rapier on the right. Behind the scale is an apple tree.

Fren checked and confirmed it was just an apple tree. However, this world had neither God nor the Bible, so he didn't know why Eden and the apple tree were linked together.

As for the text below, it is based on the name embroidered in the cloak's owner's handwriting, namely "Francisco Holmes".

It was already late spring, and Fren was wearing a suit and a cape, but it wasn't very hot.

When Fren arrived on the first floor, Mycroft was already waiting there.

Seeing Fren's attire reminded Mycroft of when Fren had just been adopted.

He seems a bit slow-witted. When eating, if he encounters unfamiliar food, even a single pea, he will stare at it blankly for a while.

It was precisely because this behavior seemed somewhat like mental retardation that the Holmes couple poured so much care into him, diverting a great deal of attention and energy from their grief over Orlos's departure.

But Mycroft was different. At the age of 14, he determined in just a few hours that this was also a "monster".

He would space out simply because he would record information about every new thing.

If it were just a matter of having a good memory, that would be one thing; Mycroft could do that too. This world isn't lacking in monsters like that.

But Fren can remember anything.

This is a world with mystical and extraordinary powers, containing a wealth of knowledge beyond human comprehension. Some ancient texts, recorded in hieroglyphics, contain immense information within their content.

Only scholars who repeatedly push their minds and souls beyond their limits are qualified to analyze its contents. To the average person, it's nothing more than gibberish.

Just like a primary school student looking at a calculus textbook and mistaking the ∫ symbol for a crowbar.

When Mycroft encountered knowledge related to the divine, he briefly experimented on his younger brother, showing Freun a picture of a stone tablet. Only things with perfect physical properties and devoid of any subjective consciousness could contain anything related to the divine.

Mycroft would look at this picture and forget it the moment he saw it; his mental capacity as a teenager was not strong enough to remember the contents of the picture.

But Fren was different. At that time, 6-year-old Fren had just been admitted to Eden Academy. Mycroft watched as Fren clumsily took a pencil and wrote down the contents of the picture on a blank sheet of paper.

Mycroft later discovered various miracles, such as the ability to remember Fren and even attempt to analyze large numbers of samples, as if it were a CPU with no limit.

Young Mycroft was greatly shocked; even now, Fren remains a separate category outside of Mycroft's understanding.

While Oros's talent was absurdly beyond the realm of human beings, before she fully matured, there were many powerful individuals in the world who had broken through limits and advanced time and time again, and were able to steadily suppress Oros.

Therefore, the Sheringford Island prison, which could hold Orlos, exists.

But Fren was different; he was a being from a completely different dimension from everyone else, and Mycroft couldn't even figure out the patterns in Fren's behavior.

Mycroft sometimes really felt that his parents were something else, having given birth to an outrageous sister and then picking up an even weirder thing from an orphanage.

In the first two years after Fren was adopted, Mycroft, while fulfilling his duties as the eldest brother, still harbored deep suspicion towards Fren.

It wasn't malicious; it was just an instinctive defense against the unknown, even with family. This defense against Fren still exists now. The tie clip with its GPS tracking function was both a way for Mycroft to protect Fren and a way to keep track of Fren's location at all times.

In the eyes of the young Mycroft, it was not surprising that Fren would turn into a monster and wreak havoc in Berlin and even the East and West.

This feeling faded considerably after he unexpectedly discovered that Fren was subscribing to a fiction magazine.

To make a living, he had to take a job as a courier/deliveryman/plumber, but his first customer was a single, widowed woman living alone.

As a single, homebody man, I bumped into my wife, whose husband often works overtime, while taking out the trash.

My classmate's mother

After examining these things with a critical eye, Mycroft also brought Fren back into the realm of "humanity".

Oros is emotionally detached and finds it difficult to empathize with humans, but his abilities are still within Mycroft's control. Fren's abilities are beyond his comprehension, but through this incident, Mycroft discovers that Fren is indeed a person, except for some unusual quirks.

Why would Fren, who's still in middle school, watch this kind of stuff...?

Mycroft, a minor, has two unpredictable time bombs by his side: his biological sister and his adopted brother. In comparison, even the mentally challenged Sherlock seems handsome.

It was this sense of oppression that drove Mycroft to actively seek power and accumulate capital during his university years. After completing his four years of university life, he joined the Communist Party and quickly rose to the top of the central government.

Only then did he have the confidence to deal with the potential dangers that his younger siblings might cause.

Time slipped away like sand through an hourglass, and Fren officially graduated from Eden Academy. Mycroft was unsure whether letting him go out into society and university was a good thing or a bad thing.

Fren had no idea what Mycroft was thinking at that moment. He'd just reached the first floor when his older brother asked in a matter-of-fact tone, "What's for breakfast?"

"Sunshine." Fren felt that the morning was too short to enjoy any good food, so he decided to skip eating and use photosynthesis instead.
