Eighth Crown

It was a young man with a very striking appearance.

He has a very tall and thin body, at least 1.8 meters tall, his hair is dark blue close to black, combed back, his pupils show the unique emerald green of Westerners, and he is wearing a Western style that is very similar to the last century. A gentleman's suit, with a black robe with many hem, the whole person looks very tall and handsome.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Seeing you doesn't seem to be a big problem. It's better than anything, Ms. Fujimaru."

The young man greeted Fujimaru Rika with a gentlemanly manner, and then those eyes that seemed to be enough to see through all the falsehood swept across the crowd, and paused for a moment on Liu Xia.

"After analyzing the information you exchanged with Chaldea a few days ago, as well as Sheba's observation of the singularity you are in, I have basically grasped the situation of the singularity."

The look on his face was full of confidence, as if he was quite confident in his own abilities.

"who is he?"

Liu Xia looked at him up and down, and then asked Fujimaru Rika.

"I'm sorry, please allow me to introduce myself."

Without letting Rika Fujimaru convey it on his behalf, the young man introduced himself to Liuxia, "My name is Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes."

Sherlock Holmes?

Is that from Sherlock Holmes, the most famous detective in the world?

This person's popularity in the world does not even need any extra introduction. After all, when it comes to detectives, he is Sherlock Holmes. When it comes to Sherlock Holmes, he is a detective. He is close to the incarnation of the concept of "detective". A wise man above countless others.

"But it should be a character in a novel, not someone who really exists in history... Is it an overhead heroic spirit? Or does it really exist?"

Liu Xia looked at the young man without a trace with a look similar to that of the other party, but after all, there was no time to test it, so he directly exchanged information with the other party.

"You said just now that you have mastered the situation of this singularity?" Liu Xia asked the other party.

"Basically."

Then, the man said with a seemingly modest but confident expression: "The time is urgent, so I will abandon the bad habits of the past, don't sell off, and go straight to the topic."

"First of all, I have to make a statement, but I believe you should have almost noticed it, Ms. Fujimaru."

Sherlock Holmes revealed the mystery he had solved to a few people bit by bit, "The place you are in is not a normal pan-human history, perhaps a realm such as an inherent enchantment, or some kind of clipping event, in a word, The place where you are now is not essentially a singularity, but some kind of gap between reality and dream.”

"The evidence is the Rustic City and Xiazong Kingdom. In the real pan-human history, there is no country called Xiazong Kingdom, only Shangzong Kingdom, and Rustic City is not its capital, but a ruin that has long been buried in history. - just like the people around you now."

The so-called "pan-human history" refers to the "correct" human history, which is the mainstream human history in which various histories have won the survival of the fittest and natural selection, and has the correct prosperity and development.

To describe it in more selfish words, it is the history that modern human beings have experienced, and this is the correct history.

When there is a correct history, of course there will also be a wrong history, and this kind of "wrong" history is called [the clipping event].

In the process of natural selection, history will have the possibility to move towards [pan-human history], but it may also diverge from [pan-human history], move towards an incorrect history, and develop a so-called parallel world.

These have entered a dead end and are far from the [pan-human history]. They have lost the correct development and prosperity, and need to "prune" the wrong human history, which is the so-called "pruning event".

And the world that everyone is in now has certain discrepancies with the [Pan-Human History]. Xia Zongguo, Rustic City, etc. are all places that are different from the [Pan-Human History].

These differences may seem small, but in fact, they should not be underestimated. As long as they accumulate, it may lead to the history of this world completely entering a dead end in the future, parting ways with [Pan-Human History], and becoming a [cutting event] that can only passively wait for pruning.

According to Sherlock Holmes, this world may be a [clipping event] that needs to be pruned.

That's why Fujimaru Rika didn't transfer the spirit, but entered here in a dream. The magic circuit didn't adapt to this world and needed Liu Xia's help. Communication with Chaldea had to wait for the technology to be adjusted there.

"But don't think that there is a world similar to the clipping event, and it will not threaten pan-human history. In fact, the information we have investigated is just the opposite."

Sherlock Holmes's expression gradually became serious, "According to Sheba's observations, someone in that world is planning to use some special technique to invade the world on our side. If he succeeds, the history of that side is probably more than half. It will defeat the history on our side, and directly destroy our history."

History is subject to natural selection, and the existence of pan-human history is the result of historical natural selection.

But also because of this, the victory and defeat of history give some people room to intervene. Some people who are unwilling to be lonely will interfere with the natural selection of history through some special methods, and artificially intervene in this matter. Let the clipping event that should have been defeated in turn triumph over pan-human history.

"So, there are people in this singularity who want to use some method to make the history of this world overturn the history of my world?"

Fujimaru Rika quickly understood the seriousness of the matter, and then guessed, "Could that person be—"

"Yes, according to my reasoning, it should be the mastermind behind the manipulation of the heroic swordsman. If I guess correctly, the other party should be in the illusory castle in front of you."

Sherlock Holmes smiled again, "Originally, the illusory castle should be made of the castle tower in the rustic city as a medium, and then another character connecting your world and our world as a medium, you can The two human histories are connected, thereby affecting and destroying human history on our side."

"However, fortunately, the Tianshou Pavilion was destroyed in advance, and this illusory castle cannot become a reality for the time being, which is equivalent to half of their conspiracy."
