Chapter 99 "Spider Silk Sequel"

Haina's words scared Aiwas.

Hearing her sad tone, Aiwas thought Sherlock had died prematurely due to the butterfly effect... As a result, he asked again and found out that Sherlock was just injured.

But Haina didn't know the specific situation either - Sherlock took the initiative to call her and tell her. Because Sherlock had investigated the Sweater Brotherhood before, she had mentioned the alchemical bomb to Sherlock after reading the newspaper.

However, Sherlock did not answer her doubts, but only stated that he was still alive, but she had to keep it secret, and then hung up the phone.

Aiwas didn't quite understand her explanation. So his first reaction was to call Edward to confirm.

"-Yes, I know about this. To be exact, it was yesterday afternoon."

In the office of the Inspectorate not far from the Royal Law University, Chief Inspector Edward Moriarty held the phone in one hand and signed his name on a piece of paper with the other hand: "It was basically the same time as the attack on our side. It should be the group of people from the Noble Red Society."

"...Mr. Sherlock was also attacked by the upper demon?" Aiwas was a little surprised.

How did Sherlock survive?

"That's not the case-you go and give it to Deputy Assad and let him do what I say."

Edward covered the microphone slightly halfway through his speech and handed the signed note to the person in front of him.

After hearing the door close, Edward continued to talk to Aiwass:

"…Hermes was attacked by a bomb. The apartment he rented was blown up from the outside."

"Bombs? Is Mr. Sherlock okay?"

Aiwass was a little worried: "How many bombs are there?"

"There are a lot of them, basically around his apartment. But the person who installed the bombs is obviously an amateur. He knows nothing about blasting technology, and most of the power of those bombs was wasted, and even conflicted with each other. Although the house eventually collapsed, thanks to the help of Bishop Mathers, Hermes is still alive now."

Edward spoke slowly, suddenly covered the microphone and spoke loudly, then quickly lowered his voice and said a few more words, and then switched back: "Yes , I'm here, please come in - he's not seriously injured now, he's still recuperating - hello, Ms. Olga. Minister Mill has mentioned your husband to me this morning, and we are discussing his sentencing and punishment standards..."

"...Are you busy now?"

Evans realized that the time of his call was not appropriate: "Why don't you go home and talk about it?"

"No, there are two more sentences. This is very important."

Edward lowered his voice: "Anyway, remember not to go to his house."

"Why?"

"Because the news announced by his family is that he is dead - well, thank you for your understanding, ma'am - anyway, if you want to find him, go to the bishop's house. Oswald knows the exact address."

After that, Edward hung up the phone directly.

He seemed to be very busy over there. It sounded like he was dealing with an incident where a knight was confiscated by the Inspectorate.

Perhaps because there were outsiders in front of him, Edward's words became vague. But fortunately, Aiwas could understand him...the important news had been given.

The "bishop" Edward mentioned should be Bishop Mathers. Butler Oswald knew his home address.

The Hermes family should be cooperating with Sherlock's plan to go fishing. If Aiwas went there, it might reveal a flaw.

- Then I won't cause trouble for now. Respect Sherlock's plan.

Aiwas thought.

He confirmed with Haina again: "Who did you tell Sherlock that he was still alive?"

"I only told you, and then Director Kent."

Haina realized that the problem was serious: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, don't tell anyone else later."

Aiwas said in a deep voice: "Mr. Sherlock is preparing to fake his death. The identity of the murderer is likely to be problematic-it may be one of his relatives."

Haina nodded repeatedly, indicating that she knew.

It just so happened that Aiwas was planning to go to "Mrs. Mina's Fortune Telling Shop" tomorrow. Now it seems that Sherlock is hiding there, so let's go and ask about the specific situation tomorrow.

Haina was a little uneasy, and finally didn't read a few pages of the book.

After Aihuas finished his class in the afternoon, she sent Lily and Aihuas back home as she had said before, and then took Lily to the Supervisory Bureau.

After Haina left at noon, Lily secretly asked Aihuas what kind of secret book she should choose at that time.

Aihuas said at the time: "If possible, I hope you can choose a secret book that adapts to the Tao. Because I have prepared a gift for you. But you'd better choose the one that resonates with you the most."

"In that case, I think the most suitable one for me should be the secret book that adapts to the Tao." And Lily answered without hesitation.

Lily obviously attaches great importance to the opportunity that Aihuas helped her to fight for.

She was originally a personal maid without a surname. Just because she was an illegitimate daughter, she was not even allowed to study. And with Aihuas's efforts, she even had the opportunity to enter the Royal Law University to study... without spending a penny, and she could eat and live well.

And Aihuas never beat or scolded her. Even if he was not in front of others, he was always kind and gentle to her. As if she was not a maid but her friend.

——Lily also knew that there was nothing wrong with Aiwass's legs.

Because on the night when the secretary of Raff was poisoned, Aiwas went back and wanted to take a bath. Lily planned to help him take a bath, just like at home - but Aiwas just smiled and refused her.

Lily originally thought that Aiwas was just being stubborn, so she stood by him worriedly the whole time, watching him take a bath without blinking.

It turned out that Aiwas could actually stand up!

She had heard from Mr. James before that there was something in Aiwas's shadow. As a result, that day she saw for the first time what kind of monster was sealed in Aiwas's shadow...

So when Aiwas pulled the assassin out of his shadow, she was not surprised at all. The whole process was very calm.

She was just disappointed about another thing - Aiwas actually didn't need her to take care of him at all, and his life was not as inconvenient as others imagined. She was just here to cooperate with Aiwas in acting... or because Aiwas wanted her to go to college, he used the excuse that he needed someone to take care of him.

Lily was very keen to capture Aiwas's true intentions.

——Since her purpose is to act, she must concentrate on acting well.

At that time, Lily stayed up all night and carefully considered the role she played. She thought about what kind of questions she might be asked in what situation, and how she should react to be more realistic. It was precisely because she had thought of many lies in advance that she would not feel panic when she used them.

Although Lily felt that she had no talent for the path of dedication and the path of authority, she was also working hard to learn. In order to repay Aiwass's kindness one day.

Aiwass probably saw that she lacked talent and interest in these two paths, so he was willing to waste an important reward and help her choose the most suitable secret book to walk her own way.

A legal Adaptation Path Extraordinary in the Kingdom of Avalon - Lily, who reads a lot, certainly understands what this means.

Because of this, she didn't want to disappoint Aiwass even more.

——Since Aiwass hopes that he can embark on the path of adaptation, then the secret book that best fits him must also be the path of adaptation. Even if she changed her nature and character, she would definitely be able to choose the book that Aiwas wanted. She looked gentle and quiet on the outside, but in fact, she had such a flowing and unpredictable personality... Such an intellectual and soft appearance was just fabricated because it was pleasing.

With such a thought... the book that Lily finally chose was indeed the tantra book that was suitable for the path.

It was a gray tantra book.

It was about two fingers thick, and it was almost the thickest among these generally thin tantra books. But its weight was almost non-existent, and holding the book was like holding a thin spider web. It seemed that it would fly up in the next moment and disappear in the next moment.

"The more people recognize it, the lighter it becomes. When you are not looking at it, remember to press it with a heavy object. Lead plate is the best, steel plate is also OK."

With bronze skin, black eye patch and scars running through his face, Director Kent, who looks like a one-eyed pirate, warned: "Otherwise it may disappear on a rainy day, just like a moth that suddenly appears and disappears in the house."

On the way back, even with Haina's escort, Lily still held the book carefully the whole time.

Lily finally breathed a sigh of relief and put her mind at ease after bringing it back to Moriarty Manor.

She held the book and knocked on the door of Aiwas's room. There was no response or light inside-Aiwas was not in his room, he should have gone to play with Yulia.

So Lily took the book back to her room and got into her bed. Because only inside the quilt can give her the greatest sense of security.

And at this time, she solemnly opened the book.

The cover of the book reads "Spider's Silk Sequel". It matches the first impression of this book.

After opening the book.

A series of gray, soft and light, dusty, rustling whispers gradually penetrated Lily's brain from her eyes, her skin, her mouth and nose, and her ears.

The voice called itself "we". It did not use any language, but a fleeting illusion. It was like a fragile imagination that spontaneously emerged in the mind when looking at a blank wall and could disappear at any time.

"——We are the hair of snakes, the footsteps of cats, the cage of moths, and the noose of centipedes."

The illusory voice has a secret name called "spider silk", which was created by "Gray Sky", and the real name is kept secret. This book tells the sixty-seven secrets of spider silk.

As Lily read the book more and more attentively, gray spider silk gathered around her at the bottom of her pupils.

Just like a silkworm spinning a cocoon, the spider silk gradually surrounded the girl who was curled up in a ball concentrating on reading, and finally formed a huge, quiet gray cocoon silently on the bed.
