Chapter 99: The Three Garridebs (6)
Im so screwed.
The moment I realized the crux of this whole case, my mind was filled with that thought.
I should have noticed sooner.
There had been more than just a few chances to reach this conclusion.
The abnormally low body temperature of Neria Garrideb that I could feel the moment she pounced on me. The terrifying strength that her frail body should have never possessed. And, more than anything else, the strange wound on Nathan Garridebs arm.
There were quite a few similar clues scattered all over, suggesting that Neria Garrideb was an artificially created being.
Only, they were obscured by the keyword of a rabies patient, rather than a werewolf.
By the time I realized the truth, it was already too late.
Professor Jane Moriarty, Charlotte Holmes, and I were already too deeply involved in this bizarre case.
If both sides clash, the situation will surely spiral out of control
Considering the cases of Jill the Ripper and the phantom thief Lupin, I was able to grasp the conditions that led to an increase in the erosion rate.
Every time characters from other popular 19th-century works, or real people with no ties to the Sherlock Holmes series got entangled in a case, the erosion rate would jump dramatically.
Even in this case, the moment Frankenstein was mentioned, the erosion rate shot up by a whopping 7 percent.
What if Charlotte Holmes or Professor Moriarty got more deeply involved in the case?
The erosion rate might skyrocket uncontrollably. Rather, at the rate things were going, that was bound to happen.
I have to stop it.
Then, there was only one way to overcome this predicament.
As the probability of this world, the one designated with the duty to uphold this worlds balance, I must fight against those alien beings in place of Charlotte Holmes.
I must twist the conclusion of the case before Charlotte Holmes arrives at the truth.
Therefore, I have no time to waste.
Before Charlotte discovered the identity of Neria Garrideb and the existence of Dr. Frankenstein behind her, I had to carve out and discard the inconsistencies present in the case. The points which deviated the case from its natural course.
And then, I needed to manipulate the truth and reconstruct the case from the ground up.
To accomplish that, it was a must to eliminate Dr. Frankenstein, who should be hiding somewhere in this mansion, as soon as possible.
Honestly, I doubted that I would be able to accomplish that with this body, akin to a glass cannon, I possess. However, this wasnt the time to debate whether it was feasible or not.
If I didnt succeed, the end of the world was imminent. I had no choice but to accomplish the task at any and all costs, whether I like it or not.
Hmm.
Then, what was the first agenda that I needed to tackle?
Time is ticking, Miss Holmes. At this rate, the truth will be buried in darkness.
Shut up.
Ohhh. So, even the most genius girl in the world is capable of getting nervous, huh? Quite an unusual sight, I must say.
It was simple.
I had to shake off Professor Moriarty and Charlotte Holmes, who were currently exchanging icy looks as they argued with each other.
That was the only way to deal with Dr. Frankenstein without anyone noticing.
Click, click
However, there was a problem. I had already lost my freedom of movement due to these two women.
The mana chains conjured by the strongest being of this world and the mana chains of the only person who can rival this being were binding me tight.
This superimposed binding would be unbreakable by anyone except Gia Lestrade, who could nullify any and all magic.
Well, then theres no other choice left.
There was only one option left for me.
I really wanted to keep this as a last resort.
It was quite possibly an action unworthy of the probability of this world, but it was the only method left for me at the moment.
Excuse me for interrupting your delightful deductions for a moment.
..?
As I resolved myself quietly and began to speak, the eyes of the quarreling women simultaneously focused on me.
There has been a slight error in the case.
What?
What are you talking about?
Im afraid I will need to make a minor correction. It wont take long, I promise.
Nigh instantaneously, the expressions on their puzzled faces turned icy at my words.
Are you planning to disappear again, only to be found half-butchered to death?
Perhaps you secretly harbor a penchant for bloodshed? If not, it would be wise to cease this foolishness while you still can.New novel chapters are published on
The remarks leaving their mouth soon after were not different from what I had anticipated from them.
I knew both of you would respond that way.
As I gazed at them with a smirk, knowing how well they complemented each other only in moments like these, I quietly raised my hand and allowed my eyes to shine.
Snap!
A crisp snapping sound echoed in the room.
Bzzzzzz
!?
And soon after, the anomaly occurred.
.
.
Instantly, the professors eyes grew cold as frigid ice as I whispered to her in a husky voice.
Oh. Your eyes seem rather defiant, hmm? Not quite grasping the situation now, are you?
.
Do you wish for me to pet you and train you as I did that one time?
But as I poked her lower abdomen with my finger while whispering, the professors eyes started to waver.
A professor with a nasty temper, hiding her thesis papers.
A pervert who salivates after someone who doesnt even consent to your advances.
You even have a whole ten-year age gap with Charlotte
That moment, as her response amusingly fueled me, I found myself engrossed in continuing the provocation.
Gooooo
However, abruptly, a chilling coldness emanated from her very being at my continuous provocation.
Does it feel good, to sexually harass a student who hasnt even graduated yet?
A shiver ran down my spine momentarily, but I had already said my piece.
Having successfully executed the theoretical and highly prone to failure distributed mana rejection attack, I was now able to control the professor however I wished.
I had no reason to fear her anymore.
Anyway, both of you stay still.
.
Ill be back shortly after fixing this mess.
I patted the professor and Charlottes heads once more and headed out of the room with a small smile on my face.
Miss Garrideb, you come along too.
M, Me?
Youll be my bodyguard for the day.
I should have taken a tougher stance from the very start.
.
.
.
.
.
A few minutes later
Where does Franken no, Mrs. Garrideb usually stay?
On the first floor, in the master bedroom. Except for the time shes eating she spends nearly all day there.
As Isaac Adler exited into the hallway with Neria Garrideb, he asked her in a friendly voice, prompting her to respond. Her expression was unusually tense as she spoke to Adler.
Relax.
But its been so long since Ive been out of the room
How long has it been?
Adler tilted his head and asked, and Neria Garrideb quietly bowed her head and muttered in a low voice.
Im not sure, but ever since father passed away, its been
It must have been lonely.
Adler looked at her with a slightly dark gaze, then began to gently stroke her hair.
Ive had my own times of loneliness.
Really?
I was so depressed that I lost interest in life. Thats why
Just as he was about to flaunt his eloquence, as usual
I feel the same way, Adler.
Right next to Adler, who was walking leisurely, came that even-toned voice he often heard.
A professor feeling lonely, thats quite unexpected
He chuckled and responded by nature, however, he soon trailed off
Huh.
Then, Adler glanced slightly to the side, and Moriarty, with her hands clasped behind her back and bobbing her head from side to side, came into his view.
Is this a dream?
.
It is a dream, hehe.
He grabbed her cheek and stretched it, then pinched his own cheek and let out a relieved laugh as he didnt feel any pain from that action.
But I usually cant feel pain.
Coming to that realization, his complexion grew paler by the moment.
Oh, didnt know about that
Professor Moriarty, whose mana vessel was revealed to be larger than at least half the women of London combined, was smiling broadly with her arm on Adlers shoulder.
GG1So, the system is basically saying that he played well, but it was now time for game over. Basically, shes saying Adlers fucked, lol. Trolling 100.
Eeek.
