Operation Red Book

As soon as the words fell, Ivy and Joshua looked at Moriarty at the same time, their eyes full of disbelief.

Moriarty's smiling face was terrifying to the other three. Holmes glanced at their expressions and understood what was going on.

"Joshua, when he introduced himself in the dining car, he said he was a student in London. I remember he said...ah! Sigma School in Bessin Road. I found something suspicious at that time."

Holmes put on his proud look again, and walked around Joshua by himself, speaking in a very light tone.

"I often walk along the street of Bessin Road. In fact, except for a welfare home that looks decent, the rest are the residences of the working class.

Not to mention a private high school, even the fabric he wears, I bet there is no such high-end material and workmanship within a few kilometers of Bessen Road. "

Holmes excitedly pulled Joshua's uniform shirt with such force that he almost knocked him down. After a while, he looked at Ivy's black plaid skirt.

"The style of uniform this little sheep is wearing is a female uniform, right? Your school badges are the same, so you are not siblings, but classmates in the same school.

Look at your body language, you never make eye contact, you never make physical contact, you are strangers than strangers."

Holmes' analysis was so logical that the two men felt they were in the wrong.

Ivy pulled her skirt down awkwardly, and Joshua blushed and lowered his head again.

“I didn’t expect you were time travelers, James, you beat me this time!

However, on the bright side, girls can go to school with boys in the future and wear clothes that are suitable for their body structure and made of silky and comfortable fabrics. It seems that this society is not so decadent after all."

Holmes' words did change Ivy's attitude towards him a little, but his next words made her disgust return.

"All women on the streets of London will look like this. I really envy the boys back then."

Seeing Ivy's increasingly fierce look, Moriarty changed the subject.

"No, I originally had the same inference as you. The fact that they were time travelers was due to that red notebook. The notes in it confirmed my guess."

"this?"

Ivy raised the red book in her hand, and Joshua no longer lowered his head.

"Yes, it records in detail how you came here, as well as this vampire case, and even some details that we didn't notice.

For example, why did Dalton seal the soul? Also, the Grim Reaper should take out the soul of the deceased as soon as possible, so why didn't the Grim Reaper arrive earlier? "

Moriarty spoke slowly, and Joshua also shared the information about himself and Walter alone with Ivy.

“By the way, could you tell me what SCO is?” Joshua suddenly asked.

"Uh... About this, you can directly ask the current leader of this organization."

Moriarty raised his chin and pointed outward, and everyone looked in that direction.

A tall man in a white uniform was walking towards here.

His long silver hair was tied up with a rubber band, and the ends of his hair fell to his waist.

He had a high nose, deep eye sockets, and light eyebrows that seemed to be wrinkled. His lips were tightly pursed. He was probably in his forties or fifties, and the faint nasolabial folds and crow's feet proved his age.

He gave people an elegant and serious temperament, and his light blue eyes were like ice stones lurking on the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, flashing a firm and melancholy light.

"Mr. Holmes, Mr. Moriarty, long time no see."

The man was much taller than Holmes. After he stood still, he saluted Holmes and Moriarty.

His voice was low and steady, and Ivy felt the air around them drop several degrees.

After finishing the ceremony, he stood still, his eyes like icebergs on the bottom of the sea scanning the two of them, and Ivy felt a bit of chill again.

"This is Miss Ivy Lee, and this is Mr. Joshua Williams," Moriarty said to the man.

"Ms. Li, Mr. Williams, nice to meet you." The man nodded to Ivy and Joshua.

After the two men responded awkwardly, he said, "I am Victor Prokofyich Raskolnikov, the leader of the Secret Command Organization SCO. Thank you for your help in capturing Dalton."

After saying this, he knelt down and made a bigger salute to the two of them.

"Thank you, Mr. Victor, Mr. P...P...Victor, mainly for Joshua's bravery and the evidence found by Mr. Moriarty."

Ivy returned the greeting and gave Victor an awkward smile.

"What about me? I found the old immortal who is as old as a melted candle!"

Holmes expressed his dissatisfaction noisily and glared at Ivy angrily.

"Mr. Victor, I am very interested in SCO. Could you please introduce your organization?"

Joshua was no longer shy at this time and asked impatiently.

Victor turned to Moriarty with a tense face.

After receiving an affirmative reply from Moriarty, he replied: "The Secret Command Organization, abbreviated as SCO, was founded by Queen Victoria in the 19s with the first leader J.

Its purpose is to prevent unnatural forces from influencing British society. The organization is responsible to Her Majesty the Queen and aims to maintain the stability of British society.

"But, Mr. Victor is Russian, his name is similar and he looks similar, so why would he be responsible to the Queen of England..." Ivy asked cautiously.

"Russia... my country."

Victor instantly had a sad expression on his face. He covered his entire face with his big hands, and muttered while shaking his head.

"Oh... my country... Russia created me... and then abandoned me... Oh... Britain..."

The sudden change made the whole atmosphere mysteriously awkward. Holmes yawned lazily, interrupting Victor's crying.

"How is Walter? He was fainted when I got him to the carriage."

"He's fine. Thank you for your concern. He's just a little irritated. Bell is already treating him."

Victor instantly returned to his serious expression, as if the sadness just now no longer existed.

"Mr. Walter is a vampire?" Ivy screamed.

"He is also a member of that organization? What kind of organization is that? The Avengers?"

“As for this question, Miss, most of the members of SCO are non-human.

For example, Mr. Walter is a vampire, Miss Bell Cruz is a witch, and Mr. Holmes is a human being." Victor whispered.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ivy and Joshua looked at Holmes who was yawning beside them.

"It's Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock Holmes' brother. Sherlock is a consultant to our organization, not a member." Victor explained specifically.

Joshua's excitement grew even stronger, while Ivy's attention was all on Victor.

She asked, "Then is Mr. Victor also a non-human?"

Unexpectedly, this sentence became Victor's expression-changing switch.

"Creating me...abandoning me..."

Amid the murmurings, Holmes finally couldn't help himself and grabbed Victor's hand and walked towards Lestrade.

"Welcome to the Victorian era, 21st century kids."

Moriarty opened his arms and hugged Ivy and Joshua respectively.

"I hope you don't carry a virus from the future."

"That's hard to say." Ivy shrugged.

"Besides, maybe we're not time travelers, we're space travelers."

"Oh why?"

"In our world, there are no vampires, demons, witches, or even..."

Ivy and Joshua exchanged glances, and Joshua said the rest.

"You don't even exist in our world. That is to say, this is not the history we are familiar with. For us, this is a world full of unknowns."

"Then congratulations, life is exciting when it's unknown, isn't it?"

Seeing Ivy and Joshua's serious expressions, Moriarty chuckled softly.

He said to Ivy: "Your red book is a very valuable item. If we can meet it again in the future, I will be very much looking forward to the new contents inside."

"Joshua, I admire you very much. I hope you can make greater progress under Holmes' guidance." Moriarty said to Joshua again.

"Friendly reminder, apart from reasoning, it is better for him not to teach you anything else."

A conductor in a red uniform brought Moriarty's luggage.

Moriarty looked at Holmes who was talking to Victor in the distance, and made a "hush" gesture to Ivy and Joshua.

"I will wait for my friends at this station. I will say goodbye to you now. Don't tell Holmes where I am. If you see me, he will be very annoying."

Moriarty disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye. Ivy and Joshua also consciously kept their mouths shut. They refused to give in even when Holmes threatened them fiercely not to get on the carriage.

With Lestrade's mediation, the three of them finally got on a carriage to 221-B Baker Street.
