Chapter 598 The real devil, the final trial of mankind
"Good morning, dear Holmes!"
Perhaps in order to let her have a good rest, Holmes did not talk to her about anything after returning to the store yesterday. He even only appeared once during the party, silently playing a supporting role in the corner.
Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka, Holmes closed the book and responded with a smile:
"Morning. Did you have a good rest last night?"
"Almost, it's just a rare dream."
"Yeah?"
Understanding what Fujimaru Ritsuka's dream meant, Holmes raised his eyebrows slightly and quickly deduced that it was probably a dream related to Pest.
He didn't say much about this, but brought up another topic:
"How has life been in Hakoba during this time?"
"Um……"
Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not answer immediately, but held his chin and muttered: "Life during this period is quite interesting. However, it seems that I have only learned a little about Hakoba's situation so far. It’s just fur.”
There were two reasons why she came to Hakoba: First, she was invited by the big guys to see if there was anything she could help with; second, she came to see if this world was suitable for Chaldea to move here.
And understanding the situation of Hakoba is for the latter.
Judging from the environment alone, Hakoniwa is obviously much stronger than the environment on Earth over there, and there shouldn't be any problem even if the entire Chaldea is moved here.
But other than that, her understanding of Hakoba is too shallow to make an easy decision.
For example, the issue Shiroyasha told her about the origin of the Little Garden is still in a chaotic and unresolved state. It doesn't take much thinking to understand that there must be a big trouble hidden in it.
"In addition, I originally thought that the purpose of those who invited me here was to hope that I would deal with the Demon King, but after fighting with Pest and the others, I always felt that this might not be the case."
Judging from what happened to the community [NoName] and the situation of the Fire Dragon Birth Festival, there is no doubt that the Demon King is an evil person who destroys peace and order, and is the target that needs to be punished.
Because of this, Hakoba established class rulers and gave them the obligation and equal rights to protect the lower-class community and resist the invasion of the demon king.
However, she didn't think that the crusade against the Demon King would be the reason for those people to invite her to the Little Garden, because there were also many strong people in the Little Garden, and there were even strong men like Shiroyasha who were willing to lower themselves to the lower level to become protectors. A member of the lower class community's dominant class.
In other words, she and Chaldea did not have to do anything to defeat the Demon King, not to mention that this kind of thing was not within the scope of Chaldea's business.
Chaldea's mission is to save humanity and save the world. Even if she defeats bad guys due to her personal likes and dislikes, in the face of saving humanity, she will use the power she can use, whether it is good or bad. Don’t refuse.
"Defeat the Demon King?"
Regarding Fujimaru Ritsuka's speech, Holmes pondered for a moment and then said with a smile:
"Actually, if I think about it this way, I think it's not impossible. But those demon kings that I want to defeat are not the same thing as demon kings like Pest."
"Not the same thing?"
Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka blinking in confusion, Holmes smiled and said:
"Then let me explain a little bit. Have you heard of the Dawn of Hakoniwa?"
"Well, I know that."
The Dawn Period of Hakoniwa refers to a period of chaos when the world of Hakoniwa was just created and many of today's rules have not yet been formed. Countless gods, Buddhas, and Shura poured into Hakoniwa to divide their forces and establish order.
"That's right."
Holmes nodded in affirmation, then opened a page of the book in his hand and read: "'At the same time, contrary to the order they created, all kinds of evils and corruption were born. Heaven and earth, day and night, good and Evil, rise and fall, all elements of the world from creation to destruction are filtered in the crucible and become the original disaster.
I think that the "initial disaster" recorded in the book is the real demon king in the world of Hakoba that deserves to be taken care of. "
"And if nothing else, the lady named Shiro Yaksha seems to have been such an existence - the final trial of mankind called 'The Theory of Heaven's Movement'."
"White Yaksha? Tiandong theory? The final trial of mankind?"
Needless to say, the theory of heavenly movement is a cosmology view of ancient people, which believes that the earth is the center of the universe and that all other stars revolve around the earth.
The final trial of mankind, to put it simply, is a trial that appears to destroy mankind. At the same time, the destruction must be ushered in by human hands.
"Eh? Wait a minute, isn't this...!?"
Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally showed a surprised expression, while Holmes smiled and nodded: "That's right."
“No matter how you look at it, the definition of humanity’s final trial is very similar to human evil.”
Human evil refers to various disasters that destroy human beings. They were born from human civilization and became more and more powerful with the development of human beings, but they destroyed civilization from the inside of society. They are cancer-like existences.
But human evil is not the evil that destroys mankind based on hostility, but the evil that is destroyed by mankind. It is an existence that mankind must overcome.
Finally, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to understand something, and murmured: "The real demon king born at the beginning of Hakoniwa, the final trial of mankind... is he the human evil in the Hakoniwa world?"
If those people wanted her to deal with such a demon king, then there would indeed be no problem. After all, she was considered a professional in dealing with human evil.
Even she herself became human evil (sad).
At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly thought of something, looked at Holmes doubtfully and said:
"...So, why do you know so many things?"
"Because of it."
Holmes shook the book in his hand, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka's speechless expression, and chuckled: "But in fact, about the dawn of Hakoniwa, including the first demon king and the final trial of mankind. The information does not seem to be recorded in detail, and the relevant information is also very trivial. It needs to be integrated based on clues to get complete information. "
"Fortunately, Ms. Shiroyasha seems to be a strong person who has been active since the birth of the Little Garden, so the records about her are relatively detailed, and the information can be integrated using the other party's experience as a clue."
"I see."
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded as if understanding.
In short, it means that only someone as smart as Sherlock Holmes can connect all the fragmented information from a large number of books in such a short period of time, right?
Got it, it's not my problem, over.
However, at this moment, Holmes smiled again and said: "Of course, this is just to continue thinking based on your previous thoughts to make a more reasonable guess. It is best not to identify it as reality without authorization. wonderful."
"And in my opinion, if we go back to the original starting point... forget it, maybe I said too much. This is just an immature speculation on my part, and until there is no more evidence..."
"Can't forget it!!"
Hearing the familiar Riddler's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "Since the previous judgments are also guesses, then it's okay to make another guess?!"
"Otherwise, will I take what you said before seriously?"
