Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

Before she knew it, Novia had developed some thoughts about her so-called 'mother'.

Could it be Shekina...?

Shekina, a figure in Judaism corresponding to the Holy Spirit, is called Sophia in some Orthodox doctrines. She is one of the Holy Trinities, and the Sophia Churches in Constantinople, Kiev, Novgorod, Topolsk, Harbin, and other places refer to her.

In addition, Sophia is also regarded as 'a part separated from the Father's existence', a 'mirror' reflecting the glory of the Father and the Son; she is also 'the Father's daughter', 'the Son's sister and fiancée', and 'the mother of all existence outside of God'.

Therefore, when Novia thinks of Yahweh's earlier statement that his mother was born of his virginity, and considering the presence of the covenant between Abraham and Christ and humanity, it is clear that this is the Old Testament, the New Testament, and Novia's own covenant. Thus, it implies a being corresponding to the Holy Spirit.

Shekina in the Old Testament, Sophia in the New Testament, and as for what she is in the Covenant of Novia, that will probably have to wait until he finds her.

The destination I need to go to is finally becoming clearer.

However, Novia thought to herself, "Let's deal with this series of events first."

Then--

"Let's go to the British Museum."

John 16:8 (New Testament): When he (the Holy Spirit) comes, he will convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.

……

A thick fog descended upon the streets and alleys of London.

Not only the detective city of London itself, but also the entire British historical site was shrouded in thick fog when viewed from above. Considering that the sky had been clear and sunny until just now, Fran, who was following behind the silver-haired Yuzhu, felt that this should not be a normal phenomenon.

Meanwhile, in front of the British Museum, numerous Servants and Masters who had come to inquire were gathered around the electronic screens, ready to watch Moriarty recount how he committed the crime of killing Holmes in front of the statues of the Three Goddesses, completely oblivious to the strangeness around them.

Although London was once known as the Fog City, that is a thing of the past. Modern London has never been foggy; instead, it rains frequently.

She thought to herself: If that's the case... was it the father who was arrested who did this?

That being said, Fran did not believe Moriarty possessed such great power.

So, has the barrier over London been activated?

According to the old-time interpretations of magic, mysterious lands are often shrouded in fog, perhaps to avoid being worn down by modern materials. This is why mysterious things protect themselves in various ways.

Upon successfully arriving inside the museum, the silver-haired Yuju naturally saw the evil Moriarty smiling under the spotlight, the good Moriarty holding his head and gritting his teeth while staring at evil in a corner, and the arbiter Moriarty calmly observing everything.

The silver-haired woman with pearls approached the adjudicator Moriarty and asked, "Were you invited there by Holmes before his death?"

This happened on the first day, before Holmes' death was revealed, when James was invited to the museum.

"You must have arranged to meet us by chance on the way so that we could naturally travel with you."

"what?"

"To be precise, it's not that you want to kill Holmes, it's that you want to use us to break the spells set up by your older self."

It was James and Holmes's understanding that Moriarty could not possibly exhaust everything to do one thing, so it was naturally impossible for him to be imprisoned so easily. He (himself) must have been lurking in the shadows like a spider. A leader of evil who can weave an evil web could not be caught so easily.

Therefore, before receiving Holmes' invitation, James must have learned from him about the desire for Shinjuku to return the collectibles.

Baal, Seth, El—this series of things related to Canaan, although Holmes didn't explicitly say so, he must have guessed something.

James did not answer, but the silver-haired beaded woman continued nonchalantly, "But it was precisely by entering the museum that you triggered the prerequisite for Moriarty's spell, the Three Fates, which is actually what you wanted."

"Oh?"

This time, it was Moriarty of Good who answered for him, because Moriarty of Evil had surrendered, allowing him to walk out of prison with dignity and come here to confront evil.

"Then what's the motivation?"

"Motive, oh motive..."

Silver-haired Youzhu paused for a moment, "If I had to say, it would be because James is a mathematician. He calculated the probability of Holmes' death. Given that, it would be normal for him to want to confirm whether the answer is correct, right? However, James did not want to confirm, but rather wanted to refute it. You would probably say that."

That's just your speculation.

James nodded calmly. "Holmes isn't infallible, just like he once lost to Irene Adler."

"But what's frustrating is that once he has you as his opponent, he will always go all out, so in your opinion, there is only one way to defeat Holmes who is going all out."

The silver-haired man smiled and said, "So you stood on Holmes' side and became James Moriarty by reducing his Spirit Origin and summoning him a second time."

"...Yes, you're absolutely right, I am James Moriarty."

James admitted it, slowly placing a monocle over his eyes and then opening the book in his hands.

"But you don't have enough evidence, and soon Moriarty will be publicly executed, and everything will end happily ever after. That's the truth."

"Also, only half of the reason you gave is correct."

"There is only one way to defeat Sherlock Holmes when he is at his full strength, and that reason is only half right."

"The Napoleon of the criminal world," he said calmly.

"I am not trying to completely defeat Holmes, but to end this world full of pointless prosperity, and there is only one way to do that."

"...Oh, is that so?"

Moriarty of Good, who was listening nearby, nodded with his finger on his chin. "The younger me is indeed me, but to say that I separated from my Spirit Origin seems a bit strange, doesn't it? Besides, I'm really a good person. Aren't you afraid I'll report you for saying that?"

"I don't need to answer you. The only thing that can't be calculated is what will happen next."

James paused here, "I reduced myself to nothing, erased my memories, erased the malice, created the good, and was reborn. Therefore, my duty should have ended here."

Seven years ago, James Moriarty split into two: the good as the original and the evil with only a tiny bit of spirit origin.

This evil violated the city's rules by performing a second summon and successfully imbued itself with the power of the three Norse goddesses of fate. After learning of his identity as the Arbiter through the observation of fate, he became James Moriarty, the Arbiter, and stayed by Holmes' side afterwards.

Based on the conversation between James and Novia, it seems that way, but Novia still knows he's lying.

He just said, 'I am James Moriarty,' which is both the truth and a lie.

because--

“That’s right, your duties are indeed over, Colonel James Moriarty.”

In "The Final Problem," Chu appears, the professor's brother who shares the same name and works as a stationmaster in western England.

Chapter 498 I know you very well, Moriarty.

James Moriarty.

When this name is mentioned, the first person that comes to mind is undoubtedly Sherlock Holmes' rival, the Napoleon of the criminal world.

However, in reality, the professor in Sherlock Holmes also had a younger brother named James Moriarty. The reason Watson wrote The Final Problem was that the professor's brother published a letter in the newspaper defending the deceased professor, so Watson had no choice but to reveal the whole truth to the public.

In the original work, the two brothers with the same name are distinguished by their titles: one is a professor, and the other is a colonel.

In "The House of Horrors," Holmes mentions that the professor's brother is a stationmaster in the west of England.

"..."

James, the Arbiter, remained silent, quietly focusing his gaze, along with the silver-haired Yuju and Moriarty of Good, on Moriarty of Evil, who was confessing his sins in the live broadcast.

"The reason I think you are a colonel is because when we first met you said, 'Back pain is a problem I had in my old age, I don't have it.'"

Moriarty had a bad back, a fact that only became apparent in his old age, but Novia, who had seen him, knew long ago that there were already hidden problems when he was still a student. After all, studying hard in school and indulging in fantasies about villainous organization bosses without exercising could easily lead to health problems later in life.

However, this was absolutely not the case for Colonel James, because as a soldier, his physical abilities were extremely outstanding.

"And if I'm not mistaken, the three Fates that the city detected in you are not the Norse goddesses, but the Greek goddesses."

"I do not want to answer."

James reiterated, "And this is just your speculation, there's no evidence."

Oh dear, is this guy actually my brother? I never imagined my brother would fabricate such a huge case. It seems I have to find a way to bring him to justice.

In Moriarty's view of good, the world is guided by good, therefore all evil must be punished.

"Feel sorry."

Moriarty of Goodness leaned forward and patted James on the shoulder; his profile resembled that of a child yearning to become a champion of justice.

“Even if you were my brother, I would still report you, because you are evil.”

"hehe."

James's smile seemed a bit forced.

“A very good hypothesis. I originally thought that if it were that great detective, perhaps he could have investigated to this extent, but did he really do it? That being said, at this moment, you are all powerless, aren’t you? Because you have no evidence.”

"...Perhaps that's true."

The silver-haired girl gently raised her hand, "Parka, fate, move!"

In Greek mythology, the three Fates are collectively known as Moira, while in Roman mythology they are known as Parca.

Suddenly, lines appeared on the faces of the statues of the Three Fates, who were standing in front of the bodies of Moriarty, who was confessing his sins in public, and Holmes.

In the blink of an eye, the lines transformed into countless magical powers, turning the appearance of a fifty-year-old man into that of a middle-aged man, as if a withered leaf had shattered.

There was no way to hold back the resurrected fate, not even Colonel James, who had stitched together the elements of the three Greek Fates.

“You can come back now, Edward Bernd.”

The evil Moriarty disguised as Edward Burdi is actually Burdi himself; the judge appearing as the young Moriarty is Colonel James, the professor's brother; and the good Moriarty, imprisoned for seven years, is the professor himself.

It was only a matter of an instant when, thanks to the disguise of the three Fates and the assistance of death, they were stripped from the city.

In an instant, Moriarty of Good finally displayed a similar cunning and insidious reaction. He smiled slightly and spoke to the silver-haired bead.

"Wow, that's amazing. It actually corrected the fate that I spent years setting up. This must be what they call a deus ex machina. Interesting."

Evil is the first layer of disguise, the brother with the same name is a further foreshadowing, and the good left at the end is the true professor.

There will be no second chance to end this new era.

The battle had to be won in one decisive blow, but how? Moriarty was pondering how to execute the plan flawlessly.

This is the kind of world that exists in which good can defeat evil.

As long as he remains Moriarty, he can never defeat Holmes.

But the most important thing is not to kill Holmes, but to absorb Holmes's spirit origin to bind himself to the detective city, so as to turn the old continent buried below the sea level into bullets to cause the planet to collapse. The detective city London is not the real London after all; the real London has long been buried.

"...I really want to complete this plan."

Moriarty's voice even had a touch of childishness, revealing a sense of longing, "...You should have realized it too, right? This new world was strange from the very beginning, wasn't it?"

"It's like a fictional utopia, built on a prosperity that's fragile and easily destroyed."

"That's right."

Moriarty pressed down on his top hat. "This world is isolated from all other worlds, becoming completely disconnected from true human reason."

Human reasoning is not a path that belongs only to humans, but a path for all intelligent life forms born on this planet that have grown to the point of looking up at the sky. The previous generation of primates were gods, and the current primates are humans. When humans complete their duties and reach the end of their compilation, a new generation of primates will be born.

Therefore, human reasoning is like a nautical chart for the planet, and each primate must traverse a part of it.

In other words, Moriarty believed that the content of the world at this moment was wrong.

"As a result, the world has become a utopian realm."

"Humans are immortal, and they have Servants; you can only choose one."

"The possibility of both coexisting is almost impossible outside of this world."

The Servant Universe is where humanity abandoned its physical body and replaced it with the soul vessel 'Spirit Origin'. Since the term "human" disappeared, everyone has become a Servant, which is also the success of the Third Law. And the fact that humans in Fr's new world are both immortal and have Servants is truly incredible.

Even though their minds are bound and their technology has come to a standstill, the remaining humans still cling to beautiful illusions and live in isolation, refusing to communicate with people from other regions. Isn't this a manifestation of the complete elimination of humanity's most basic survival competition? This is clearly setting a bad precedent for primates, and humanity should take real action to destroy this place.

However, no countermeasures have emerged, and the world continues to indulge in utopia.

"As for the three of us, Burdy was there to prove that Holmes could truly save him, the Colonel was there to assist me, and I was there to expose this utopia. To this end, we all erased our memories and acted as our own 'Moriarty.' Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to defeat Holmes. His specialty is to integrate truth and falsehood together."

Moriarty chuckled and tapped the floor with his toe.

"Therefore, Holmes must have deduced the anomaly in the world just as I have."

For Sherlock Holmes, even if the mystery he faces is truly unsolvable, it will inevitably 'generate' clues or paths to the truth. This is the powerful crime-solving ability that he has sublimated from his own origin of 'investigation'. Therefore, it is impossible for him to be unaware of the fact that even Moriarty has noticed.

Over the years, Moriarty failed to detect any premeditation by Holmes.

This truly puzzled him, because Holmes couldn't possibly be the kind of person who would let things go unchecked.

"So I also investigated the Holy Grail War back then. From the current perspective, the reason why so many Shinigami appeared was to prevent the birth of a new era. Because if humans were to become immortal, it would be considered a violation of their rules. Therefore, from this point of view, they acted for the good of 'humanity'."

"If we follow this line of reasoning, then wouldn't Chizuru Masato and Lucius, who established the new era, be the masterminds behind it all? Not necessarily. What the Shinigami consider 'good' may not be what humans consider 'good,' and my opinion of what is wrong is only my personal opinion."

Then, Moriarty looked around the British Museum, which had become noisy because of Moriarty's transformation into evil, and raised the corners of his mouth.
