[Comprehensive] Mrs. Holmes Daily

It is still separated by a wall, but it is two different worlds.

The young man walked up to her, took her hand lightly, actually knelt down on one knee, and kissed the back of her hand.

Ludwig: "..."

Would she tell this strange young man that this hand had just pulled the beard of a fat mouse?

My mother said that you have to be tall to be handsome, but don't forget personal hygiene when you are being cool.

……

The man raised his eyes, his gray-blue pupils were full of smiles.

——The strong sense of familiarity reappeared.

Ludwig withdrew his hand under the man's gaze.

Even though she had already guessed the identity of the other party because of that "Juliet"—except for the man who lured her into an underground casino and claimed that God wanted to take her away, who would call her Juliet?

But in order to show her respect for his hard work, she still asked:

"who are you?"

The young man covered his heart, showing a very painful look, still maintaining a half-kneeling posture:

"Oh, I can't tell you my name, because I hate it, it's your enemy, and if I could put these words on paper, I'd tear them to pieces."

Ludwig: "..."

This is what Romeo said to Juliet when he sneaked into the Capulet's house for the first time in "Romeo and Juliet".

What an untimely situation, Ludwig really wanted to say - she was not his enemy, she was just his cannon fodder.

She pretended to be surprised and opened her eyes wide, holding the young man's face with both hands:

"It's a huge lie, Atum, who said you were my enemy?"

The touch of his hands is real and reliable... Well, the makeup is pretty good, and the technique is no worse than Sherlock's.

Atum pressed her hand on his face, and brought his lips to the side of his slender fingers:

"If you don't like the name, I won't be called Atum anymore."

"..."

This is still the dialogue in Shakespeare's plays.

Ludwig felt goose bumps all over the ground, and quickly pulled his hand out of his hand.

"Sorry, you found the wrong person, I'm not your Juliet, I'm just an innocent passerby who was involved by you."

She said blankly:

"At this moment, your Juliet is probably still striding in the dark sewer, wearing a black windbreaker, 1.8 meters four, half a head taller than you...so I don't recommend you to kiss him on one knee .”

If Atum gave Sherlock a hand kiss, what expression would Sherlock show?

... The picture is so beautiful, please send it.

"No, you're wrong. In this world, people are intertwined, like a dirty spider's web wrapping its nest, and no one is innocent."

Atum stood up with a soft smile on his face:

"We are enemies, if not now, then later."

...in a while?

Ludwig paused and said calmly:

"Is it because you killed my parents?"

Sherlock has said that her parents are keeping a secret, which may have something to do with Egypt.They left clues around her, waiting for her to discover for herself.

Sherlock also said that she has been followed by two groups of people for ten years, one group is her father's people, such as the old woman upstairs, and the other group is the Egyptian religious organization in Atum.

She doesn't need to think on her own, as long as Sherlock's words are integrated, the answer has already surfaced.

……

There was a long silence.

The two of them didn't speak, only the whispering and flapping of bats in their sleep could be heard intermittently not far away.

Atum suddenly frowned, as if she had done something very wrong.

"No, no, no... baby, that's not right."

Yatum's tone was so soft that it made people chill:

"I killed your parents, why do you have such a calm expression? You should be hysterical, crying, struggling... like a beautiful lamb about to be sacrificed to the altar."

"That's not necessarily the case. The difference between humans and animals is that they can choose their own behavior and emotions."

Ludwig smiled calmly:

"Otherwise, all the pigs in the world should go on a diet to lose weight. Where would they be waiting for people to kill them?"

"It's a pity, then I have to spread the truth to you, the cruel reality you are facing..."

He pushed her back gently, with precise force.

Ludwig couldn't help but took two steps back, and slammed into the coffin behind him hard, his back hurt by the iron chains wrapped around the coffin.

Atum raised his hand and patted the coffin behind her:

"Guess who's lying here?"

Ludwig lowered his eyes:

"Why guess? My parents at most."

"The answer is wrong. Your mother is not here. She was lying in the cold underground palace of Crete when you were seven years old. I have no time to dig her out."

Atum shook his head, his gray-blue eyes were as pure as the sky after the rain.

——He wears contact lenses again, why does he wear contact lenses every time he sees her?

No, not every time, one time he didn't wear it.

But Ludwig is not thinking about contact lenses now, she just heard a word——

Crete?

According to ancient legends, there is a half-man, half-bull monster Minotaur in the underground labyrinth of Crete. The surrounding countries choose virgins as sacrifices for the Minotaur every year.The execution of Socrates was postponed because the departure of the virgin ship was delayed.

If Ludwig's mother did die in Crete, then her father's death should also be relocated.

Because in Uncle Camilla's last letter to her, it said——

"Your father, my younger brother, Mr. Van Ludwig was too excited to kiss a Agkistrodon caught by the archaeological team when he was looking for the Minotaur in Crete, and died after rescue efforts failed."

Kiss the Agkistrodon.

Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt, died by kissing a poisonous snake.Therefore, poisonous snakes are often regarded as close friends who bite back.

She never paid attention to these details, but now it is different.

Uncle Camilla's letter, what exactly do you want to say?

He is also a professor, and his memory is not weak, but why does he often forget to pay her living expenses?Why is there no audio for the whole year?

Now the answer is out.

——Because of being displaced.

And why should he entrust her to Mrs. Hudson of Baker Street?Was it because Baker Street had his first love, or because... Baker Street had Sherlock Holmes?

When she was studying for her exams, Sherlock had asked her why no one had invited her to her father's funeral.

She pretended to ignore this question, but the doubt did not disappear from her heart.If there is a funeral, there is no reason why she should be uninvited as a daughter.

The only explanation is that there was no funeral at all.

Because the last person who could hold a funeral for her father, the only relative she had contact with in this world, her bearded Uncle Camilla... has also disappeared from this world.

Gone... all gone.

Ludwig turned his head in a daze, looking at the Egyptian coffin under her fingers.

On the abstract painted human face, the whites of the eyes and black eyeballs are distinct in black and white.

...This is, Uncle Camilla, and her father here...

It turned out that the whole Ludwig family worshiped Beethoven, and she was the only one left.

No, she was not left alone.

The real Ludwig is long dead... so now there is no one left.

--why?

What are they protecting?What is it that is worth the price of their whole family's life?

……

"No, not at the price of the whole family's life, but at the cost of your life, my Juliet."

As if seeing through what she was thinking, Atum smiled even more happily:

"The appetizers were all before, and now is the main meal... Do you know why you died inexplicably in your own home when you were seven years old?"

Ludwig slowly raised his head and looked into his gray-blue eyes.

"Because your parents and uncle decided to hold a complete Nile sacrifice to awaken the gods in order to fulfill their lifelong wish... They used you as a sacrifice and considered it a great honor for you."

He held her face in his hands, with a regretful expression:

"But they failed... The ancient witchcraft made you die for a short time, but it didn't make you die completely, because you were not old enough, and the sacrifices of gods must be pure adult women, only like the Minotaur. Monsters prefer virgins."

……

His language is sharp, his truth is paradoxical.

He said that Ludwig's parents used their little daughter as a sacrifice to the gods.

But it is a reasonable explanation.

This can explain why she came back from the dead, why they ignored Ludwig when they were still alive, only maintaining her basic survival needs, not arranging her to go to school, and regardless of her mental state—— They only wanted Ludwig alive.

Because she is just a sacrifice.

If Atum is telling the truth, all her previous thoughts will be overturned.

Displaced?No, they just ignore it.

……

"What should I do? You have grown up, and the group of fanatical believers around your parents are looking for you now, because you are their treasure, the lamb they have not completed the sacrifice."

"..."

they?

Sherlock has said that Atum is now the leader of "them", but it is obvious that he is more interested in Sherlock than in God.This Egyptian church is just a tool for him and Sherlock to play games.

"The sacrifice must be pure and innocent, so you can easily incite them to attack Sherlock, right? I'm really sorry, but as your sacrifice, I actually like to go to bars and have a boyfriend."

Ludwig smiled, and pulled his hand from her face:

"I've traveled all over Europe and America. Did you monitor me all the way to prevent me from 'pollution'?...It's really hard work for you."

Atum picked up a handful of her long hair and kissed it:

"It's not hard, the arduous process will always bring sweet fruits."

"..."

Ludwig decided not to tell him that her hair had been dragged in the sewers and brushed against bat droppings.

……

"But I'm not interested in what you and I said... My parents want to kill me as a sacrifice. This is their business. Now that they can't kill me, what do these things have to do with me?"

Her tone was calm, but her brain was spinning rapidly:

"Compared to these, I want to know how my parents died and how you became the leader of this religious organization—after all, you don't seem like someone who would worship Amon-Ra."

He was the one who wanted to be Amon-Ra.

This man keeps saying that he wants to become a god—but where in the world does a god come from?

"Oh, are you starting to ask questions?"

Atum pulled back a strand of her long hair, with a playful expression:

"It's okay to tell you... because you can't change anything."

— Nothing can be changed?

Ludwig smiled slightly.

Whether you can change it or not, you have to try it to know.

"Your parents and uncle died of betrayal because they greedily tried to appropriate God's gift, fled and hid, and the church finally executed them... and me."

Atum narrowed his eyes:

"I just like symmetry."
