Then she discovered a small stream behind the village.
She followed the sound of the stream and heard the sound of children laughing.
This cheered Sherlock up, and she quickened her pace, passing through a dark woods. The moonlight shone through the sparse branches and leaves, casting patches of light on her body, as if it was a light spot guiding her forward.
Moonlight.......? Wait...is it dark?
It was as if Sherlock's mind was trying to make her understand something at this moment.
But her body did not stop at all and continued to move towards the stream.
When she finally reached the stream, the sight before her made her stop involuntarily.
A group of children aged five or six, their clothes were tattered and the fabrics were covered with patches and stains, as if they were relics forgotten by time.
But they had innocent smiles on their faces, but in the dim moonlight, they looked extremely strange.
They were chanting an old Japanese nursery rhyme. The melody was simple but carried an indescribable eeriness, as if it was a call from another world.
[The head is missing, the bride is gone,
It was dark and there was no one in sight.
Red clothes fluttering, blood and tears dripping,
The bell rang softly, standing by the well,
The bride's steps are light and silent.
The song is sad and the clothes are stained with blood. 】
That was exactly the nursery rhyme that had appeared in Director Yang Yi's notes.
The children held hands and surrounded a little girl in the center.
The girl's clothes were completely different from the others.
She was a little older, and was dressed in fancy clothes, but her eyes were lifeless, and she was muttering something along with the children.
The circle they formed slowly rotated, and every step seemed to step on Sherlock's heartbeat, making her feel an indescribable fear.
fear......?
Is this the emotion I should have?
Or, is this the emotion Sherlock should have...
Suddenly, the children stopped moving and they slowly turned to look at Sherlock.
"What a pretty girl."
Suddenly, an old woman's voice came from behind Sherlock.
She turned her head suddenly and saw a tall, fat old woman in a kimono with a heavily made-up face appear behind her.
"This time...it's your turn to be the bride."
Sherlock thought she was talking to him.
But then a scream was heard.
She then turned back.
It turned out that the girl, who was surrounded by several children, had her head cut off.
When the head rolled to his feet, Sherlock recognized it.
Isn’t this the half face I saw in the village just now?
Her originally snow-white clothes were stained red with blood, and her headless body was pushed into the stream by the children.
The stream water suddenly began to change color, from its original clear state to slowly turning pitch black.
"Hehehe... this year's Black Spring is very fresh."
The fat old woman picked up the girl's head and walked towards Sherlock step by step.
"Next time...it will be your turn to be the bride."
Those eyes...stared straight at Sherlock, and then shook the head in front of the blonde girl.
Through the eyes that were still closed, Sherlock saw his own reflection in her eyes.
...Who is this blonde woman with a nice figure?
I’m Sherlock Holmes, and I… am a private investigator.
But who is this woman...
"Miss Sherlock!"
The next moment, she woke up from her brief hibernation.
Leia and Yagyu both stood in front of her, looking at her with strange eyes.
"Why did you suddenly cut off the connection with me? Also, why did you enter hibernation just now?"
Faced with Rhea's question, Sherlock didn't know how to answer, nor did he know whether he should tell her what he had just seen.
Now she was standing by a stream that had long since dried up.
This mountain...seems to be affecting her mimic personality...
Chapter 932 Chapter 11: Hidden
The old policeman communicated with the villagers.
The villagers also agreed to give up a small house for the three people to live in.
When Sherlock was brought back to the village, the old policeman was about to leave with Fang Chunliko and another young policeman.
"Then we will leave first, three of you. We will go up the mountain tomorrow morning to continue the investigation with you."
When she heard that she had to go up the mountain again tomorrow, the female police officer quickly said, "I, I'll take a day off tomorrow."
The old policeman frowned and glanced at the young female police officer.
Leia smiled and said, "In fact, there is no need for so many people to follow us. With Mr. Yagyu here, it will be enough. You don't have to go up the mountain."
Fang Chunlizi frowned and said, "No, my mission is also to help you investigate the case here, so I will still go up the mountain tomorrow."
The old policeman sighed.
If you want to go up the mountain, doesn't that mean I have to come too?
However, he still looked at the young female police officer and said, "In that case, you don't need to come tomorrow."
The female police officer immediately breathed a sigh of relief and walked with more energy.
Watched them leave the village.
At this moment, the sky gradually darkened.
As people say, it gets dark quickly in the mountains.
After another investigation in the village, it was already completely dark before 7 o'clock in the evening.
During this time, the elderly brought some food, mostly rough sweet potato porridge.
Several people did not refuse.
But only Yagyu drank some.
Rhea and Sherlock don't need to eat.
At about 8 o'clock, Li Muhan told Leia that Mo Qiao was by his side.
[No need to talk nonsense, I have already accessed your interfaces. Now tell me whether the environment you two are in is suitable for comprehensive testing.]
Mo Qiao's voice entered the minds of Leia and Sherlock.
[We can start anytime here] Leia said with a smile.
Sherlock said nothing, but he didn't argue either.
After the inspection started for a while, Mo Qiao told a few people in a somewhat strange way.
There were no problems with their bodies and protocols, and then they checked Sherlock's visual module.
She did not notice the strange scenes she saw after leaving the village.
But this inspection did not reassure everyone.
Instead, it cast an even darker cloud over the matter.
That is, there is no way Sherlock could be hallucinating.
Whether it is man-made or there are really gods and ghosts at work.
But what exactly did he see?
[There is nothing in this world that cannot be explained] Sherlock said with a smile.
[Ms. Mo Qiao, please continue to check my brain during this period. Don't worry, I won't be shaken by this matter.]
She is indeed as strong-willed as the detective.
But no one knows that Sherlock is really suspicious of one thing now.
That is after the identity of Sherlock is gone.
Who am I?
Why do I have to act according to Apophis's mimicry? Am I not already free?
My personality, everything about me, should be decided by myself, right?
But the girl soon realized.
This is definitely not my idea.
These things are like viruses that roam throughout every component of the computer.
Data space...
[Data Space] Mo Qiao suddenly said.
She and Sherlock were thinking the same thing.
[After the end, has the data space been opened? ]
In response to Mo Qiao's question, Sherlock and Rhea both denied it.
[The data space is now completely blocked, no one can enter]
[Including you? ] Li Muhan asked.
[…We both have the key, but only when both of us activate the key at the same time can we open the data space. The so-called data space is actually a large-scale program world that is so sophisticated that humans cannot understand it at all.]
[In other words, you still have the ability to enter this world.] There seemed to be some other meaning in Mo Qiao's words.
"Mo Qiao, why did you suddenly mention the data space?" Li Muhan asked Mo Qiao in the Engineering Department of the Special Management Bureau.
Mo Qiao didn't look up and continued working on the keyboard.
Lin Ziyu was also there to help.
"Whether it's Eden 022 or Rhea 035, they are all intelligent machine species born under the influence of the World Heart and higher-dimensional creatures. Even the best hackers in the world would never be able to hack into their systems, let alone viruses."
"Minister Mo is right." Lin Ziyu said.
"So the only place that can affect them is the womb that gave birth to them, which is the data space."
"Even if something happens to Sherlock, Leia will never let him enter the data space." Li Muhan added.
"Have you forgotten that there is another person who can enter the data space?"
Mo Qiao glanced at Li Muhan.
With just one glance, everyone present understood who she was talking about.
But that is something even less likely to happen.
Because Li Muhan saw with his own eyes that she had been taken away by the higher-dimensional creature.
