[Comprehensive Yingmei] Really nothing happened

Professor Moriarty?Jormungandr had heard the name before—in novels.

The detective stories of Sherlock Holmes is a rare set of novels that she can see into the content.

Most of the literary works of human beings describe images that she can't understand. Even if she tries to read them reluctantly, she will only leave the impression of "rustle, rustle, rustle".

Only in this way, like a novel describing a skill, can she be interested.

It's not utilitarian, it's just...well, a normal phenomenon caused by apartheid (not reproductive segregation, humans and the old rulers can have offspring).

In that novel, he is one of the few exceptions as a person who rarely appears but can leave a strong impression on people.

So, what kind of person is Professor Moriarty?

I think, in DND terms, it's simply - lawful evil.

He is called "Napoleon of crime", which is far from the word "good guy".He took pleasure in creating crimes, and would gladly plan a complex case for a small sum of money.He is a huge spider, weaving a wide web in London with himself as the core, and everyone in London (except maybe Sherlock Holmes and Mycroft) is becoming a part of this web intentionally or unconsciously. Components, for him to catch prey--regardless of quality.

He is a man of indescribable, but also a very charismatic person.Otherwise, relying on his brain alone, how could he drive so many people to support him?Although there are still nobles these days, even if it is just a glamorous name (constitutional monarchy), they still have more privileges than ordinary people and are respected.However, Professor Moriarty, as a commoner, was able to maneuver around the dark areas of London with ease, and played with the people of a city. open relationship.

But in the final analysis, there is another important reason: people die for money, and birds die for food.

Possessing such amazing intelligence and not being a person with integrity, it is not difficult to get a lot of money from some shady places.Of course, to be honest, it is in these shady places that it is easier to get rich overnight... Of course, this is illegal, and you must not follow suit.

Well... let's put it this way.It was mentioned in "Uncanny Valley" that Professor Moriarty's annual salary is 700 pounds, but he can buy Renoir's painting, and obviously, this painting is not a special case, it can only be regarded as One of the better ones in his collection.

Oh... Here is a little explanation. According to the order of Conan Doyle's creation, there is "The Last Case" first, and then there is "Uncanny Valley". According to the content of "The Last Case", Holmes told Watson Moriah The two dueled at the Reichenbach Falls not long after Professor Tee's presence, but in "The Valley of Uncanny", Watson apparently already knew Professor Moriarty from Holmes.Regarding the contradiction between the two... maybe Conan Doyle's memory was wrong, we can also think that these two cases actually happened in two different parallel universes (it feels really cool to use quantum mechanics in detective novels) ...Well, all in all, in this article, we deal with this issue according to the setting of "The Last Case".

Wait, let's get back to the original question... why did I say that Professor Moriarty is "lawful evil"?

Because I think that although he is evil, he has his own moral values ​​and has a bottom line.

As the big man said in the previous article: he is a gentleman.

What kind of person can be called a gentleman (literally)?

The essentials of gentlemanly demeanor are written down quite a lot, so I won’t go into details here. The key point we need to know is to respect women.In addition, I think there is another axiom that is not stated clearly, but it also needs to be followed, that is, you must not do anything to children.Similarly, he would not let his subordinates do such a thing.

Having said all that, I mean...Professor Moriarty is definitely not behind those two previous cases.

That's why Professor Moriarty would report his name when he met Yemengard, even though he knew that she might directly reveal the information.

This kind of persistence seems a bit silly, and it may even be worth the loss, but... this is the choice of those people, and it is their belief that they will never change.

Having persistence is a very lucky thing. Some people may not think so, but I really think so.

……

"I'm sorry to invite you here in such a rude way, ma'am." He said, "Please rest assured, I will let you go back after just a meal, so please don't mess with the Torchwood team." The thing you carry with you."

The light in the room was very dim, and the two windows were tightly covered by dark curtains. There was no big light source, but a lot of candles were lit, creating a somewhat gloomy atmosphere.Fortunately, there is no wind here, otherwise it is very likely that the room will fall into a state of "not seeing your fingers" in the next second.

Yemengard's current body is human, and her eyesight has dropped to the level of human beings. However, the unique perception ability that belongs to the old master can still make her clearly perceive the surrounding environment.

Rather than saying that this is a reception room, it would be more appropriate to say that it is a study.There is a thick carpet on the floor, a round table in the center of the room, on which most of the candles are placed, and a few matching chairs at the side.There are no less than hundreds of hardcover books in the room. From the covers, it can be seen that the owners of these books are obviously proficient in no less than four languages, and the contents involved also cover many aspects, such as geology, botany, physics, mathematics, etc. Obviously, the owner of this study must be a very knowledgeable person.

Having said that, since it is a study room, it would definitely not be arranged like this on weekdays. In other words... this look was specially made to leave a deep impression on Yemengard.Even though we all know it doesn't really work...

"You know the existence of the Torchwood team." Yemengard said in a calm declarative tone.She'd thought of this before, so it wasn't surprising at all... No, she couldn't have felt that way herself.

"It's better to say that everything in London is under my control." Professor Moriarty walked to the window and opened the curtains to let in the not-so-bright sky.His tone of voice was very calm, without any hint of showing off.Also, if this kind of thing can make him complacent, I am afraid that such a mind will not be able to achieve such an achievement.

"Then, you also know..." Ye Mengjiad said slowly without giving any big reaction.

"Do you know why the Torchwood team exists? Of course." Professor Moriarty replied calmly.

"Then you're not curious about the secrets there?" Yemengard asked.Of course, she wasn't interested in the answer.

"Curiosity? Of course there are some, but...it's not important." Professor Moriarty said in a relaxed tone, "The Torchwood team's research is more about their science and technology, but the people who can come to the earth from such a distant place , Their technology has surpassed the earth for hundreds of years at least, and the most technological content, even I, cannot be fully understood by research in a short lifetime."

This is not wrong.The Torchwood team does have black technology unimaginable by people in this era, as well as Jack from the 51st century and aliens who came to deliver food to help out, but... this lineup, if you want to achieve impressive results, it is still extremely difficult. Difficult and costly as one can imagine.

When he said the last sentence, his tone was very confident, with a strong sense of "I am the most intelligent person in the world".

"...The thing that interests me the most is human beings, or... human hearts." Professor Moriarty continued.That's right, as a person who controls the entire London in the dark, if it wasn't for interest, it would be impossible to achieve such an achievement.

It's not that Professor Moriarty is not interested in the items obtained by the Torchwood team, but if he had to choose between the two, he would still choose the "criminal" profession.Although, of course, his achievements were by no means limited to "leaving criminal history with a wealth of inconclusive and curious data", we must remember that his treatise on the binomial theorem caused a great response in Europe, but these In comparison, it is more like his adjustment in the process of planning a crime, the importance is indeed incomparable.

"Then you think that the existence of the Torchwood team is not important?" Yemengade asked casually.

"No." Professor Moriarty shook his head. "Actually, I admire them very much. They can persist in doing these impossible tasks and facing those powerful enemies."

Therefore, in order to express his admiration, he never achieved his purpose by harming the members of the Torchwood team, and even provided them with some help at certain times.

You must know that an existence like the Torchwood Group needs to consume a lot of human and material resources in order to achieve its goals. Simply put... it just needs money.

The system used by the United Kingdom is a parliamentary system, with a large number of people, and the population of the United Kingdom is not very large... The result of the small base is that the quality of members of the parliament varies.There are plenty of short-sighted people.

The expenses of the Torchwood team are not small, they will definitely require a large budget, and the corresponding budgets of other departments will definitely be affected accordingly.

The budget is very important, so of course those congressmen will think of various ways to embarrass the Torchwood group. Cutting the budget is just a trick, and they will even try to ban this organization.
