Operation Red Book

London at night is only a few degrees darker than during the day. It has been raining every day in London these days. It is not a downpour, but a slow, fine and silent drizzle.

Joshua and Holmes have been busy with work these days, and today they announced early that they would not be back.

Mrs. Hudson went to bed early, so Ivy went to the roof of 221-B alone with a glass oil lamp.

The evening breeze blew, blowing up Ivy's black hair that fell around her waist.

The entire sky was pitch black, with no shining stars or misty moon.

The lights on the street had already been turned off, and only a few houses still had warm yellow lights on.

Ivy looked from afar and saw that most of the windows with lights on had wooden tables in front of them. If she looked carefully, she could see feather pens writing furiously and pieces of letter paper scattered all over the table.

This kind of silent companionship made Ivy feel warm from the bottom of her heart.

Ivy placed the oil lamp on the small table on the roof. She gathered the woolen shawl she was wearing, grabbed the two ends and tied a tight knot in front of her chest.

She took out the red book, a bottle of ink, a feather pen and a stack of kraft paper from her arms, and followed the example of others to place these items on the small table.

Ivy opened the first few pages of the red book, dipped the quill pen into ink, and began to write on the vellum.

The words in the red book were densely packed and the content was complicated. Ivy went through all the events and character relationships that had occurred so far.

It is now the Victorian era in the late 19th century. The monarch of the human camp is Queen Victoria, and the organizations affiliated with her include Parliament and the Cabinet, as well as the SCO hidden behind Johns' newspaper.

The SCO was founded 100 years ago by J and the then monarch George III with the original intention of maintaining social stability in the UK and protecting public safety.

Joshua successfully joined SCO under Moriarty's introduction, where his companions were powerful witches, vampires, elves and humans with various magical powers.

In addition to the British organizations, the Chinese dock area in east London where Chinese people gather is also a potential factor that cannot be underestimated.

The Chinese Dock District was established in 1850. Mr. Zhu was elected as the leader 10 years ago and has been managing it ever since.

Backed by strong financial resources, Mr. Zhu is doing very well in the business world and even has business dealings on all continents.

The Chinese wharf was favored by the upper class aristocracy, and therefore became a thorn in the side of Queen Victoria.

Ivy is Mr. Zhu's assistant and is mainly responsible for the management of Muyunzhai. However, Ivy still has no idea about the problems listed in the red book about the Chinese wharf.

She now had two guesses, one was about the collection of souls in hell, and the other was about the British government's hostility towards Chinese docks.

As for the remaining issues - Mr. Zhu's background and the death of the Chinese dock area - there is no news at all.

Ivy has secretly inquired countless times at work and hinted countless times to Mr. Zhu and the people around him, but there has been no response until now.

The only thing that made Ivy feel a little relieved was the gossip from Shuyang. Shuyang was successfully rescued by Holmes and Mr. Zhu. Although he was exempted from punishment, he was still expelled by the British government.

When seeing Shuyang off, Shuyang told Ivy the news about Mr. Zhu: Mr. Zhu came to London from somewhere in Shanghai.

According to people at that time, when he arrived, he had countless small bleeding wounds on his body and was holding a sharp sword in his arms.

Ivy shook her slightly swollen head. The tip of her feather pen was broken, so she took out several new ones from her bosom and bent over to continue writing and drawing on the kraft paper.

The enemies of humans are GH, which is composed of the god of death, vampires, demons, etc.

On the train where Ivy and Joshua had just traveled through, and in the muddy Niksala prison where Joshua and Holmes were, they frequently appeared in SCO's vision.

Joshua has explained all three of the questions originally posed in the Red Book.

Dalton and Arnold, the Grim Reaper, are said to be in a superior-subordinate relationship, and as the messenger of the three realms, the Grim Reaper should not associate with any world.

But Arnold is obviously a counterexample. He has already abandoned the Death God's organization and joined the GH camp.

There was so little information about hell, death, and vampires that Ivy began to think about the people she had met so far.

The first people I met were Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty. It's possible to say that the characters in Holmes and Conan Doyle's works are similar, but it's also worth thinking about whether they are similar or not.

Holmes is a trusted and reliable companion to Ivy, while Moriarty is the teacher that Ivy has always used as an introduction to this world.

However, Ivy's inner intuition told her that beneath Moriarty's hypocritical surface, there was another unknown layer of skin.

You know, Moriarty is known as the "Napoleon of the criminal world" and is Holmes' number one rival.

Ivy did not dare to ignore Conan Doyle's character setting. She always believed that perhaps in the next moment, Moriarty would rise up and stand against Holmes.

When Ivy told Joshua his idea, Joshua didn't seem to take it to heart.

He admired Holmes and Moriarty, and even regarded Moriarty as his partner. Ivy was so angry that she slammed the door on the spot.

It can be said that Mr. Zhu and Dorian are just bound by interests, while Holmes, Mrs. Hudson and Joshua are the people Ivy trusts the most.

Moriarty and Count Waite are certainly worthy of association, and perhaps everyone is now on the same path, but with different goals and directions.

"Strange, why do I feel this way?" Ivy stood up and slowly walked forward a few steps.

It was almost midnight, the evening breeze blew even louder in the darkness, several oil lamps were extinguished, darkness swept across the entire city, and the huge city of London looked particularly lonely and desolate.

"What is Count Waite doing on a night like this? What is he... thinking about?" Ivy crossed her arms over her chest and narrowed her eyes.

So, trying to survive in 19th century London, following the footsteps of the Red Book, and finding a way back to the 21st century is her life goal.

Fight hard against the gods of death and the demons, and try hard to deal with people with ulterior motives.

"Life is like this. You fall you crawl you break and you take what you get. You have to turn it into honesty. "

Strengthen your faith and try to accept it all.

The body of an ant cannot stop the storm in the center of the ocean, but it can use its own flesh and blood to build a bridge of the soul to the sky.
