[Comprehensive] Sherlock's Secret

At the end of a deserted alley in London, a cautious witch clings to her magic wand, her footsteps hang above a pool of blood, and in front of her, a monster tore and eats the little girl... The witch and the monster fought, and she expelled the Fierce Snake After devouring the monster, Dumbledore suddenly said, "Su, you shouldn't use black magic so frequently."

Su Fu was helpless: "Professor, the last time I used black magic was five years ago..."

Scene transition.

The witch resolutely used the spell of insanity on the monsters of the same kind, all kinds of lights and shadows retreated rapidly, the light white illusory light curtain flickered into hazy lights and shadows, and some broken pictures flashed - the street scene of downtown London with traffic, a certain The snow-white walls and swaying nurses in a hospital, the profile of a young and handsome man in black flashed away, and suddenly no one knew who started running fast, and arrived at the small black alley at the beginning.

In the next moment, there was a dense darkness in front of the three of them.

Then slowly, tiny, almost invisible bacterial spores come from nowhere, it swims in the cold petri dish, you can feel its cold and ignorant emotions, its consciousness, its senses There are countless noisy and whispering voices.

In a large enclosed space, the deadly light projected by the most high-end instruments, cold blue light arcs reflected the shadow pupils of the white-clothed figures, and their cold and slippery fingers wiped the surfaces of various experimental instruments, recording a series of records of who but them I can't understand the data, and then put countless other petri dishes in the waste bin.

It begins to grow as a tiny bacterial worm, which is replicated by massive clones.

And the next moment, the picture in the memory suddenly unfolded the vast universe, the nebula rotated, the light track changed, countless unknown celestial bodies came and went in an instant, the meteorite brushed the tail of the comet, and from a distance, I saw a blue-green color entwined, white A cloud-floating planet.

In someone's memory, that planet kept enlarging until it was embedded in the microscopic surface—forests, rivers, vast lands, oceans, and deserts.

The vast sea of ​​sand stretches as far as the eye can see, a huge red sun on the horizon slowly falls silent, iron-gray factory buildings are lined up, surrounded by fine barbed wire, and the barbed wire at the top shines a dark and heavy luster in the twilight.

From inside the barbed wire, a man covered in blood crawled out...or rather, a monster.

On the human body, where the jaw was at the mouth, a bloody flower with outstretched tentacles and sharp fangs split open.

It didn't take two steps before it fell on the hot sand dune, was swept by the hurricane, and was buried by the sand sea.

And those replicated bacterial worms somehow got out of the shackles—they wandered around in the water, in the garbage, and under the filthy feathers of animals, and began to look for targets—those who were extremely vigilant loose human.

They enter the internal organs through the human body, dissociate to the brain, swallow and control the human brain to achieve the purpose of parasitism, the invaded human brain no longer has any human consciousness, and will only become a walking dead controlled by bacteria.

They hunt and kill humans for food, are extremely cruel and vicious, and when they are not eating, they are almost no different from humans.

And once the parasitic body is irreparably damaged, or its identity is exposed, they will abandon the body and look for the parasitic object again, and so on, the cycle repeats.

……

The three of them withdrew from Su Fu's memory.

"Here, this is part of that thing's body." Su Fu took out the glass bottle containing the monster's tentacles and handed it to Severus. "I hope you can research something before handing it over to the Ministry of Magic."

Severus pursed his lips tightly, twisting out an ugly smile for a while: "I'll try my best."

"This is not a magical creature." Dumbledore said calmly.

"Of course it's not a magical creature." Su Fu frowned, "It's like a bacterium, or a parasitic virus..."

Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Su, I don't know if you have heard of a vampire hunter named Blade?"

"It wasn't so long ago—the new age of vampires is long gone."

"Then you must also know that in the new century, Blade used to fight mutant monsters to the death, because at that time there was an unknown virus, whether wizards, ordinary people, vampires or even animals would turn into monsters after being infected. The mouth of this kind of monster will become a 'sucker', just like what you saw in your memory just now, it is convenient for them to suck human flesh and blood, only when sucking blood will they expand their tentacles and suckers, and they are no different from humans when they are not eating... "

Su Fu shivered, and his brows frowned deeper: "...Reaper (Reaper)."

"It happens to be the name."

"You mean," Su Fu said, "that monster we saw just now is an ordinary person infected with the New Age virus and turned into a reaper?"

"No one has ever known the origin of the Reaper virus... As far as the two monsters you saw, I am afraid it is not as simple as the Reaper."

"If that's the case, Severus," Su Fu turned back, "I suggest you look for some records and documents from the New Age of Vampires, maybe it will help your research."

Severus still said, "I'll try my best."

Dumbledore said: "Maybe I can ask my old friends, they are all very old."

The "age" in his mouth is definitely not in the ordinary sense. It is estimated that the starting point is at least two hundred years old.

Su Fu picked up the memory and put it back into his head, and played those messy scenes again like a movie. When a certain frame was played, she suddenly forcibly locked the owner... No, when she rushed to that alley, the first A reaper has already eaten halfway, and the time is not right at all. So the one who led her past on Baker Street before was not the one she burned to death with Fierce Flame?

It was the one standing in the grass at the entrance of the alley!

The picture in my mind was rewound again, because it was the memory seen by Legilimency, so it was extra chaotic and fuzzy, the street scene in London, the nurses in the hospital... and, a young man in black - Sherlock Holmes?

Why did he appear in the Reaper's memory?

Su Fu frowned, and the calm voice of Dumbledore and Severus' conversation came from far and near in his ears: "The reaper virus does need to be carried by a human body, and it can even completely destroy the brain consciousness of the person who controls it. ...But the Reapers of the new century only have one life, once their bodies are destroyed, they can no longer live in this world..."

Controlling... the human brain? ?

"Damn!" Su Fu yelled out, caught off guard.

No wonder she has sensed the energy fluctuations of the Reaper intermittently since yesterday afternoon, not because of her luck, but because she has met Sherlock several times before and after.

The Reaper...it had its eye on Sherlock Holmes—brain and body.

Once the big detective's brain is invaded by the reaper bacteria, his thinking hall will be filled with parasites that look similar to Pippi Shrimp... That scene is so fucking terrifying that Su Fu can't even imagine it.

"Fuuuuuuuuk!!" She plucked a handful of her hair, and said quickly with a look of lovelessness, "I have an important thing to do now, and I can't wait to do it right away, so I don't want to keep it. Call me if I have something to do, bah, patron saint— —”

As she spoke, she rolled out of the principal's office like a tornado.
