Why are there only loser heroines around me?

But he can put the cigarette on the table.

As for how he was going to break free from the iron shackles and get down from the cast iron cross to get to the cigarette, that was not something Youjing needed to consider.

Seeing the other party take a step back, Old Jack laughed helplessly again. At least he had a cigarette, which was a good thing.

"Walk straight out from Hampstead Green in the suburbs. If you're lucky, you'll find an old square board in a tall bush. There's a circular handle on it. Pull it open, and you'll see the secret room I use to slaughter women. All my torture instruments are there, along with Liriogens, a good dog I caught from the edge of the desert. He's very obedient, and as long as you feed him meat, he'll do anything for you..."

"You didn't light my cigarette, so I won't tell you which way to go after you enter Hamps Green. It's getting bigger every day. It's estimated to be 50 hectares now. I hope you can find that girl before she dies of thirst."

Ukyo stood up.

He picked up the cigarette that was lying on the table.

Throw it on the ground and crush it with your heel.

"Thank you for letting me know, Mr. Jack. Goodbye."

Old Jack's bloodshot eyes were about to burst! He hadn't expected that this seemingly gentle man would play tricks on him!

"Come back! Damn it! We agreed!"

"You're doing this to me! Give me a cigarette! Give me a cigarette! Bastards! I want a cigarette!!!"

He had been tortured to the point of almost losing his breath, but now, his voice suddenly became full of energy.

Youjing found it very noisy, so he quickened his pace.

........

...

After one hour.

London city.

The three little girls from the girl group gathered at the Meet Cafe.

Kotoko spoke first, "I've walked around the Westminster area and found nothing. But I'm slow and it gets dark quickly, so I don't dare walk alone."

"I took a quick walk through the Regent Street Park area and didn't find anything," Yanai said. "I can walk at night. There's nothing in London that could threaten me. I plan to go to East District 5 later."

East Fifth District is the area where Jack the Ripper was once active. No one dared to go out on the streets at night, and it is still the same now.

Xiao Ju said, "I searched the area around Hiddingham Crystal Palace and found nothing."

"Actually, I don't think there's much point in searching the city." Yanaijian opened the tacit agreement storage tank and replaced the Diana hair provided by the old duke with a dried black block she had snatched from the road when she returned to the crime scene not long ago. This thing was the saliva of a low-level demon, which could be used as a base to track demons. She took the initiative to change her strategy and said to the two, "Instead of looking for Diana in the city, why not look for any captive demons in the city? The dried pufferfish we three have hasn't even been exposed yet!!"

"We still have to look for it." Qinzi said, "In case we run into a dark place..."

Just when the three of them were at a loss, Xiaoju suddenly pointed out the window.

"It's a flare! In the direction of Hampstead Green!"

.......

...

After one hour.

All assembled on Hampstead Green.

By now it was completely dark.

The dried pufferfish in everyone's hands burst out with a fierce green light.

This proves that Diana is getting closer and closer to them.

They soon saw Ukyo.

Next to her was a woman whose face could not be seen clearly. She was wearing Ukyo's suit jacket, and her lower body was naked. It was very dirty, with dried blood stains.

The girl was undoubtedly Diana.

Meanwhile, Ukyo's right hand was squeezing the neck of a large black dog, which looked like it was about to suffocate.

The dog's flesh was also patchy and covered in cross-shaped marks, a standard feature of lower-level demons being tortured in Hell.

Ukyo found Diana and also found the lower-level demons.

Yes, such a small matter was as easy as sprinkling water to him. Those ferocious demons were held by his neck and did not even dare to show their fangs.

The grey bone knife in Ukyo's left hand exudes the aura of an even higher-ranking demon.

In addition to succumbing to personal force, this knife is also the reason why it dares not move.

"Can...can we go home?" This was asked by a civilian in Zhao Shuheng's team.

Yes, they can go home.

........

...

Reality, Toyohashi City.

Yanami family.

"Any news on Xingcai?"

"No, I just went to Youjing's house. His mother was applying a facial mask peacefully. She didn't seem to be worried about her child at all. Alas, I wish I could be like her." said the beautiful woman sitting on the sofa.

It has been more than a month since Xingcai disappeared.

I heard that she was involved in a small-scale missing persons case in Beijing. If it were in the past, they would have been worried crazy if their child was missing, but the incident was attributed to a supernatural event by the locals. Since it was a supernatural world, there would be no problem with Xingcai getting involved. Haha~, every time they thought of this, they found it funny. Why did they feel at ease when they heard that it was a supernatural event?

Maybe it’s because his daughter has become an expert in dealing with supernatural events.

The cat she picked up on the roadside is still at home. Since it came home, mice have never appeared in their house again. When colleagues at the company wanted to borrow the cat, her father always used the excuse that "the cat is very fierce and only listens to his daughter." But to be honest, the cat is really fierce. Usually, neither of them dared to get close to feed it. They only dared to secretly change the food for the little ancestor after he finished the can. If they accidentally met, the cat would show its teeth.

Dad looked at "Cat Xiao" who was eating lunch in the living room and said helplessly, "You think Xingcai will be alright? It's been almost two months, and she's never been away for so long at once."

“——Ding Dong~!”

Before my mother could answer, the doorbell rang.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Xingcai stood at the door. Before going home, she went to a nearby store to buy some clothes and threw London's work clothes into the trash can.

"Xingcai!" As soon as my mother opened the door, tears welled up in her eyes.

How could she not notice any changes in her daughter?

"You've lost a lot of weight! Oh~~, come on, let mommy hug you~, you must have had a hard time these days, right?"

Her mother held Xingcai in her arms, and Yanami couldn't hold back her tears for a moment. Humans are always sentimental creatures when it comes to their loved ones. Yes...she had a hard time in London.

........

...

at the same time.

The Ukyo family mansion.

"Mom, I'm back."

"Ah~! My good son is back!" With cucumber slices on her face, Youjing's mother ran downstairs.

"Where have you been these past few days? Did you know Xingcai is missing? Tell me the truth, did you two elope? Eh? Why is there a big black mass on your back? Oh my god, it's a burnt person!"

Youjing put Arthur on the sofa, and then began to summarize his experiences in London with his mother one by one.

"So you never met Moritia in the end? Someone who could even stump my son! He truly is a super villain!"

"No." Youjing reached out and scraped the black skin on Arthur's body. He found that new intact skin had grown under this layer of black skin. He should be happy.

"Actually, Moritia's appearance in the Sherlock Holmes series was like a sudden arrival, with insufficient foreshadowing. Many people say Conan Doyle simply wrote him in to make Holmes disappear. I wonder, since his villainous role in the books has never been confirmed by any other evidence, is there no way to prove his existence?"

"In other words, the more we try to find him, the harder it is to find him," Arthur, who was being roasted on the sofa, spoke up. "Holmes has been trying so hard to find evidence of Moritia's crime, but he always comes back empty-handed. Psychic resurrection does give fictional characters some strange abilities. For example, Moritia's ability might be called something like [Catching Shadows/Making Stories/Creating Nothing Out of Nothing]..."

The result is that the harder you look for it, the harder it is to find it.

But if we can just “run into” a gentle professor somewhere, like some of the people in the original work, then we can see him.”

"and many more!"

Arthur suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "We should all go to London University and check in at this sacred place! Maybe we'll run into that man teaching in class. Then we'll each give him a magazine of 8mm bullets and see what he's really like!"

Ukyo quipped, "It seems you're still a little unsatisfied with your trip to London."

"Forget it." Arthur waved his hand and said, "The biggest villain in that place wants to kill me. I don't want to go there at all."

"Speaking of which, how long has it been in the real world?"

Arthur looked at the electronic clock hanging in Ukyo's house. In addition to displaying the current time, it also showed the corresponding date.

Today is February 1st, which happens to be the first day of February.

"When does your school's vacation end this year?"

"January 20th."

"Oh, school has already started for more than ten days." Arthur shook off the black leather on his body, fished out his dead battery from his pocket and said, "Borrow the data cable."

.....

After recharging his phone, Arthur opened his calendar and asked in surprise, "Valentine's Day is next weekend. What are your plans?"

"I never celebrate Valentine's Day," Ukyo interrupted. "I don't even plan to go to school on that day."

"why?"

"Because I can't get the chocolate."

Arthur was shocked. "Are Japanese girls really that intolerable? Giving chocolates to married men?"

"I don't know." You Jing said truthfully, "Maybe I won't send it this year, but there are still a lot of last year's gifts piled up in the refrigerator. I put some of them in the community donation box, and I don't know what happened to them later."

Arthur looked up at the ceiling of Ukyo's house, which was at least five meters high from his head. Hanging above it was an artistic lantern made of many cylindrical light tubes. "Did the girl who gave you chocolate know that you put their gift in the community donation box? I heard that Japanese girls make their Valentine's Day chocolates themselves. Is that true?"

"Stereotype." Youjing also charged his mobile phone and was working on a case report for his trip to London. He would inform various Japanese institutions about the [Demon World Annexation Incident] and send a copy to the country as well. Zhao Shuheng did not directly confront Moritia, so the information he knew was definitely not as detailed as theirs.

After writing the title of the report, Ukyo's expression was serious. "I can tell you responsibly that most people buy their chocolate directly from convenience stores. Some girls even rip off the packaging of the chocolate and replace it with their own wrapping to pretend they made it themselves."

"Tsk." Arthur smacked his lips. "Would Xingcai do the same?"

Ukyo frowned slightly, "I don't think you two know each other that well yet."

"Okay." Arthur slapped his forehead and said, "I'll ask again, okay? Can Ba! Nai! Jian! also make fake chocolate?"

Ukyo and Arthur looked up at the $30,000 artistic chandelier—

"she....."

“I’m actually quite good at cooking.”

"Chocolate shouldn't be a problem for her, right?"

Volume 153: Chapter 7: Defeat the boss before celebrating the festival (k plus)

...

Ukyo wondered if Yanami would make Valentine's Day chocolates.

He couldn't worry about what was going to happen next weekend just yet.

He still had to fly to London.

There was something he hadn't told Arthur.

In fact, he had already visited the University of London when he was in Greater London. That conspicuous landmark building with epoch-making significance had been eliminated as early as his first round of carpet-style inspection. The "professor" was not in the university.

In addition, there are still many mysteries about the murderer who assassinated Arthur.

Bazhua does fit the description of "Dark Shadow," but the chalk dust found at the crime scene is no longer a testament to the crime. Would Bazhua, a former gangster, use chalk to embarrass others? It doesn't make sense.

Since he didn't find Moritia in the fictional "Greater London", is there a possibility that the "Professor" has not returned since his last visit to reality? It is very likely that he has remained in reality.

Kotoko and the others' search of the city of London was not considered "darkness under the lamp". If he was hiding in the real University of London, that would be called real darkness under the lamp.

They had searched all possible places where Moritia might be, but still couldn't find the so-called "professor."

Sherlock Holmes's classic quote applies to situations like this... "When you have eliminated all possibilities, the last one that remains, no matter how incredible, must be the truth!"
