Chapter 95 Solving Jack's Problem

In the Holy Grail War, Masters will have three Command Seals. In addition to forcibly commanding Servants, Command Seals can also summon Servants to their side and strengthen them.

The function that Liu Daolingxia used was the forced summoning function.

Holmes's cane was blocked by a scalpel with a terrifying blood groove and serrations. The white-haired Jack was clearly still injured, with one hand hanging limply, but he still managed to block the attack for his Master.

"You wretched guy!" A naive killing intent flashed in Jack's clear blue eyes.

"It is a detective's duty to find the murderer, Jack the Ripper." As the representative of the "revealer," Sherlock Holmes was completely immune to Jack the Ripper's attempts to smear his information, and he had no intention of letting Jack the Ripper go at this moment, even though solving the murderer was not a detective's duty.

"Jack... Waaah, you're hurt, Jack." Lingxia was heartbroken when she saw Jack's injuries. She genuinely regarded Jack as her own child, and all her killings and evil deeds were for Jack's sake.

"Mom... leave first, Mom..." Even if Jack was stupid, he knew that if his mother was around, she would definitely be affected.

"I understand." Lingxia, the sixth guide, was very self-aware and did not want to drag Jack down. She glared at Holmes resentfully and was about to run away.

To cover his mother's escape, Jack the Ripper, even with only one hand available, wielded his sharp blade and attacked Holmes.

The black blade seemed to carry a strong smell of blood, making one's scalp crawl just looking at it.

"Be careful, sharp blades are very dangerous." Holmes was at ease. Although Jack was the most famous serial killer, her precise cutting was only for ordinary people. It was no match for Holmes' almost Noble Phantasm Barton Technique. In addition, as a Ruler, and with Jack injured, Holmes was under no pressure.

The well-dressed British detective still had the energy to keep an eye on Liu Daolingxia's actions. Just as Liu Daolingxia was about to run into the thick fog and out of Holmes's sight, the seemingly gentlemanly detective deftly took out a loaded pistol from his pocket and fired.

Liu Daolingxia was hit and instantly fell to the ground, blood gushing out.

"Mom—" Jack the Ripper's shrill voice rang out. She desperately forced Holmes back and ran towards Liu Daolingxia.

"We must always consider different possibilities."

Holmes twirled the pistol, which he had gotten from Makoto Aoki. If the main body knew to use bombs against Joan of Arc, it wouldn't be surprising if the alternate body used a gun to deal with the Master.

After all, just because a gun is ineffective against a Heroic Spirit doesn't mean it's ineffective against a Master, not to mention that Rokudou Reika is just an ordinary person.

However, the fact that the Servant would use modern weapons was beyond Jack the Ripper's imagination, and she didn't even manage to stop her immediately.

"Mom!" Jack cried out in panic. She tried to stop Liu Daolingxia's wound with her hand, but her grotesque scalpel could only remove the bullet and had no healing function.

"No, no..."

Liu Daolingxia barely managed to muster her consciousness: "Watch out, Jack!"

Another Command Seal disappeared from his hand, and Jack was forcibly teleported, dodging Holmes's attack on the Soul Core.

"boom--"

Holmes fired again, cleanly severing Rokudo Lingxia's right hand with his pistol. Now, she could no longer use Command Seals to help Jack.

"According to someone, it means learning how to finish off the enemy." Holmes was referring to the real Aoki Makoto.

Why fight a Servant when you can fight your Master? Holmes' thinking is very clear. As for why he didn't just kill Rokudou Reika, it was purely because he wanted to close the serial murder case. This is probably a kind of obsession of the detective.

In any case, once the contract is broken, Jack the Ripper will not be able to activate the Reality Marble as in the original story. He will even return to the Throne of Heroes when the time comes. After all, Assassins do not have the independent actions of Archers. Even without a Master, they can still operate for a period of time.

"Mom—" Jack the Ripper's voice was choked with sobs, his emerald eyes filled with sorrow, making Holmes seem like the villain.

"Kill you! Kill you!" Jack, driven to extreme grief and despair, struggled frantically, determined to kill the enemy before her before returning to her seat. Thick mist emanated from her body, and at that moment, under the influence of magic, her injured arm seemed to regain its fighting power.

"This is hell. We are fire, rain, power—slaughter descends upon this place. The Mother of Disintegration…!"

The conditions of night and dense fog were met, and the attack was launched at such close range that even a third-tier Servant might not be able to dodge it. Once hit, even if the Ruler has high magic resistance to counter Jack's Noble Phantasm curse, they would be severely injured instantly.

This was, after all, a Servant's final, all-out attack.

However, Holmes cheated.

A++'s innate insight lies in their ability to discern the essence of things. Their keen observation ensures no information is overlooked. Although fundamentally different from clairvoyance, they can achieve predictions nearly equivalent to clairvoyance's ability to foresee the future.

Therefore, he had long predicted Jack the Ripper's final madness, captured the trajectory of Jack's attack, and since the Noble Phantasm of the Disintegrating Mother did not have a locking function, Holmes easily dodged it.

The next moment, the black cane struck Jack the Ripper's core with perfect accuracy.

"No, no, stop..." Even though Liu Daolingxia had been shot twice, she struggled to crawl on the ground. She was covered in blood and dust, and her only remaining hand gripped the ground, with all her fingernails broken and snapped.

"Jack, Jack..."

She didn't know where the strength came from, but she actually rushed over and hugged Jack.

The golden spiritual particles that make up the Servant have begun to dissipate, and Jack cries hysterically, "Mom, don't leave us... Mom..."

"Mom...we just want to go back..."

"Jack." Liu Daolingxia held the young child until Jack disappeared from her arms.

Golden particles of light slowly rose and gradually dissipated, lending a touch of gentleness to the mist-shrouded town.

As the light faded, the thick fog slowly dissipated, along with the gloom in the hearts of the townspeople.

Liu Daolingxia's eyes slowly calmed down, whether her life was coming to an end or she had completely lost the meaning of life and had no thoughts of revenge.

At this moment, the old policeman who had been saved by Holmes finally woke up.

He noticed that the scene resembled a murder scene. If Liu Daolingxia hadn't shot him before he lost consciousness and Holmes hadn't saved him, with Liu Daolingxia covered in blood and Holmes standing comfortably to the side, it would have been impossible to tell who the murderer was.

"This lady is the murderer in this series of mysterious murders." Holmes produced a pipe from somewhere. He didn't mention Jack, after all, he had to follow the principle of secrecy.

"You can close the case now, sir."

"Wait, how do you know she's the murderer? Who are you?" If it weren't for the lingering effects of the poisonous fog, and the fact that the old policeman was currently too weak to do anything, he would have arrested Holmes as well.

Even if it's a serial killer, they would still investigate if they nearly killed her, at least taking a statement to prove that she acted in self-defense.

Holmes had already turned and left, his figure gradually disappearing into the night. He did not answer the second question, but simply spoke in a calm tone.

"This is basic reasoning, my dear friend."
