Chapter 50
Alas--!
The professor's eyes widened slightly, and then he covered his chest with his hands. He felt as if someone had shot him in the chest. The feeling of his heart suddenly exploding was intoxicating, but also a bit... Fear, even the king of the underground world dare not say that he will be able to avoid sinking into this feeling.
The father's love that had always been there in my heart was instantly ignited at this moment, just like gorgeous fireworks exploding at this moment. My whole heart was reveling. The rhythm of the military drum was my own heartbeat, and the symphony I was playing was my own. The cry in the brain!
In fact, the professor didn't understand at first how much deep love a father has for his children. Now the professor probably understands.
"Ahem... Well, since you don't have any ideas or anything you want to do just yet, then just stay with me. I can still afford to raise another junior."
[In 1871, the year of my birth and the year I officially came into contact with the world, I chose to stay with Professor James Moiarty. 】
[As for returning to the place where this body once lived, I have never thought that I was born on top of his corpse. After all, I am not him. I am a corpse with no home at present. 】
[Everything he once had, his personality, his previous bonds, the people he loved and the people who loved him have nothing to do with me. I don’t care about the love this body once had. Strictly speaking, love I don't know what it is. 】
[As the professor named me, Home Cullors, artificial man, a creation of mankind. 】
[Until I understand all feelings and find my heart and goals, I will probably continue to use this name. 】
[The professor has a certain talent for magic, but he is not as professional as a magician. It seems that the professor does not intend to take the initiative to design the so-called mysterious world. However, in the study room at home, there are many books about magic. After all, he wants to To become the spider deep in the dark world of London, you must also understand the composition of all parties in this world and their basic information. 】
["Even if you don't plan to become a professional magician, then you must at least understand what a magician is and what kind of power he has. What's more, you are a product of the mysterious world. Learn some magic and use the magic eye. , no harm to you."]
[After knowing how complicated the world is, I attach great importance to the professor's advice. Being able to stand safely in the darkness in such a complicated world is not just about luck and others' indifference. Having reached this position, no matter how clearly the mysterious world sees an ordinary person, this ordinary person does have the power to annoy them. 】
[So I began to study the one or two magic books brought out from the laboratory, and at the same time, I also began to read some reading materials that were not considered treasured books in the world of magicians. At the same time, I also started to research and control my own magic eyes. 】
[The professor also enrolled me in Christ Church College, Oxford. He originally planned to let me go to the college to study for a few years. However, I was defeated when I called him father and daddy again and again. However, the college The library is indeed a place I frequent. 】
[On this day, I was about to go to the school's reading room, but the professor suddenly stopped me. He told me that an interesting person came to the school, but if I didn't want to expose too many abnormalities, I'd better stay away from that interesting person. Contact is better. 】
The carriage drove towards the college. Since the outbreak of London and the stench incident a few years ago, the environment has been improved in recent years, but overall there is still not much improvement. The stench still permeates the city, but fortunately Home can Temporarily shutting off his own breathing, this is why the sinner who attacked the boy used ether to be completely ineffective on himself.
As long as your body can absorb the magic power in the atmosphere, the energy in the air is not necessary.
Of course, you don’t need to go to that extreme now, just turn off your sense of smell and taste.
Wearing exquisite boots, a fairly expensive coat, a beret on his head, and a green-brown stone bow tie around his neck, Holm got off the carriage and nodded to other people around him who could be called classmates. .
Chapter 164: Transfer Student
"Hey~ Kulus! Good morning~ Let me tell you, there is a super handsome and distinctive classmate in the college. I can guarantee that there are many people who like him, and there must be many people who can't stand him, especially When those girls started hanging around the new classmates, to be honest, I was a little bit unhappy."
One of the students, who looked a little ordinary but had a carefree and cheerful personality, came over directly and put his hand on Holm's shoulder. This could be considered Holm's "good friend" in the college, a one-sided friend... ....
At least this is what Holm sees now. In order not to make others think he is weird, and in order to behave more like a normal person, it is necessary to keep one or two friends around. In Holm's opinion, these friends are currently The status of tool person is far more appropriate than the definition of the word friend.
Moreover, his cheap old father, Professor James, is also very concerned about his campus life. Although according to this professor's other identity, such trivial matters do not need to worry about him at all, but who knows that in this short year What kind of self-development process did the professor go through over time?
The professor rarely wrote letters to some of his psychology friends, specifically asking how to get along with a "son" who suddenly appeared.
You want to say that this child who suddenly appeared is mentally mature, but in essence he is a little baby who was born less than two years ago. Then you want to say that this child was born only a short time ago, but he understands most of the knowledge in the world. , but also has common sense of life, but the whole person is really like a piece of white paper, and has not been smeared with too many colors.
It is precisely because of this contradiction that the professor didn't know how to get in touch with such a great son he suddenly got. However, one thing is certain, that is, as long as the father is strong enough, he can attract the admiration of his children. eyes.
But will it be counterproductive to rush to expand your dark empire without knowing whether your children will eventually walk in the light or in the darkness?
Recently, the professor is not only having a headache about this matter, but also about another thing, that is, the day when his child wakes up is getting closer and closer. Should he celebrate this birthday for his child?
It’s just that as an artificial human being, your child will mind this so-called birthday very much?
Because of this kind of overwhelmed behavior, sometimes Holm really felt that his cheap father was acting in such a chaotic manner because he was under too much pressure. This was fundamentally different from the man standing at the end of the spider web and affecting everything. They don't all match.
It is precisely because of this that Holm dislikes his cheap father a little bit, so he tries not to let his cheap father worry about things in school. Every time he sees his cheap father, he seems to have multiple personalities. , It’s really a headache. It’s obvious that the professor is not an ordinary person and he doesn’t behave at all. What’s the problem?
A non-human being pretends to be an extremely normal human being, which is a bit abnormal when you think about it.
Holm looked at the boy next to him and sighed softly. Maybe because he was half-dead, he didn't have much enthusiasm to face the people around him, so he seemed relatively quiet and could be like this with him. If you want to be friends with someone, then this person is either really acquainted with you or he is crazy.
This is also Holm's purpose. After all, it is too strange for a person like him to take the initiative to make friends. Not only that, he does not need to ask at all, such friends will send him the latest information in the academy. Such as now.
"That guy doesn't like collective sports at all. Do you know how annoying this is? But it's not that that guy doesn't like sports. Whether it's fencing or boxing, he seems to be very good at it. You can hear that every time he appears on the stage. The girl’s deafening scream, God knows how many times I have to play football to get such cheers.”
The boy shrugged his shoulders, then shook his head, "Speaking of which, you probably haven't seen him before. Counting the time, this guy should be having a fencing duel in the stadium right now. Although I really don't want to see this guy, this time It’s to introduce you, so I’ll show mercy and go meet this annoying and arrogant guy again.”
Holm nodded and narrowed his eyes, "Since you don't like it, wouldn't it save you the trouble of not going to him?"
The boy smiled, then stuck out his tongue, "Well, actually, it's the new guy who wants to have a 'duel' with the bully in our college. I want to see who of these two guys can win in the end. victory."
Anyway, no matter who loses, it just makes these young people in their youth feel happy.
The transfer student who was popular with the girls, if he lost, it would be a good blow to this transfer student, who seemed a bit arrogant in the eyes of outsiders. If it was the little bully in the college who lost, wouldn't that be good? Anyway, people in the college hate the arrogant and domineering little bully for a day or two, and as long as they lose, the little bully will naturally focus on the transfer students in the future.
"If that's the case, it will be easy for us in the future."
The boy sighed, and then smiled. On the one hand, he was helpless with his slightly ordinary face, and on the other hand, he felt a little bit excited about the interesting life in the future.
Holm pushed up the glasses on his face. These glasses can cover his gray eyes and suppress his magic eye ability. Perhaps it is because he is not born with these eyes, although he can use them now. This pair of magic eyes, but could not successfully close it.
So you can only use this kind of props, similar to the magic eye seal, to seal the power of the magic eye. At the same time, it can also make your temperament become more nerdy.
A nerd with a good family background and a professor father, this is what Holm disguised himself to be. It has to be said that this disguise was very successful, and no one doubted Holm's identity at all.
While imagining what it would be like to be called an interesting person by the professor, the two of them walked towards the training ground. Fortunately, although the Olympic Games have not yet been held in this era, people also attach great importance to sports life, especially those with small assets. For example, some colleges and universities naturally have good stadiums, but of course there is still a gap compared with later generations.
At the position where the fencing was taking place, stood a handsome young man. Yes, 18 years old could be described as a young man. The young man had dark hair and a pair of wise blue eyes.
Chapter 165: Inappropriate Fencing Weapons
Strictly speaking, this young man has black hair and black eyes, but when the blue luster like lake water flashes from time to time under the bright light, suddenly appears and looks at you, you have to admit that this young man in front of you It is indeed easy to touch a heartstring in your heart.
Fortunately, the inhuman Holm is alive. If he is resurrected for the sake of death but is not completely resurrected, his beating heart is more just to simulate humans and transport energy, so that the blood with the ability to recover can flow in the body. Humans The feelings are indeed something that he can understand but has difficulty empathizing with.
The friend who came with him pinched his chest reluctantly at this moment. His face, which was just a little more delicate than ordinary, was used to twisting and tangled at this moment. Think carefully about where this place is. ? This is Daying.
"No, every time I see that guy, I wonder whether I like girls or not!"
Holm looked at his friend on the side and just complained quietly, "Actually, you came to see his game today not as a student who is anxious to introduce me to me, but to see him more and find a suitable reason for yourself." .”
The friend on the side jumped up like a cat that turned around and suddenly saw a cucumber. At the same time, his hair exploded. The distortion and tangle on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only shock.
"Oh my god! Kulus! What are you talking about! We have known each other for a year, do I look like that kind of person?"
Holm just looked at his friend calmly, even with a few polite smiles on his lips.
The boy lay down on the guardrail as if the brace had been removed from his body, and finally sighed softly. A flash of apple red flashed across his slightly darkened skin, which meant that it would soon disappear, and then the pair of From time to time, his eyes would glance towards the young man in the arena and then quickly look back.
"Well, if the target is such an attractive person, it seems that boys can't do it..."
But the premise is that this relationship must not be taken openly. This is a contradictory era. Some people pursue openness, while others adhere to the ancient tradition and define openness as pathological. If they want to live an ordinary and comfortable life in such a world, then We must learn to maintain moderation.
However, the noisy voices of the onlookers present soon pulled everyone back from their thoughts. It seemed that the time had passed the agreed time, but the one who was late was the little bully of the college. Even though everyone was a little unhappy. , but not many people dare to export students directly.
After all, although the little bully was the illegitimate son of a nobleman, his noble father obviously liked him more than legitimate children. With such a background, there were really not many people who could stand up to the little bully.
No matter what, the transfer student standing there now will have a very interesting campus life whether he wins or loses.
After some time passed, the little bully finally arrived.
The moment the Little Overlord appeared in front of everyone's eyes, Holm narrowed his eyes. The young man standing on the playing field also looked at the Little Overlord in front of him, and then frowned.
However, this little bully obviously ignored the surrounding atmosphere and the frown of his opponent in front of him. This little bully shook the fencing competition-specific weapon in his hand, as if he was feeling the weapon. Same weight.
As a child favored by a noble father, it is impossible not to have special weapons for fencing competitions. After all, fencing is, to some extent, the most favorite elegant sport of nobles.
And this weapon specially designed for fencing competitions is not a customized high-end product. It can only be regarded as good, but it does not match the status of the person in front of you at all.
"Sorry, sorry, I almost forgot. Today is the day we agreed to compete. When I suddenly remembered it, I quickly went to find someone to 'borrow' a weapon. I shouldn't be too late."
It's not so much that he borrowed one, but the little blood on the little overlord's clothes is obvious. It's basically a robbery. Anyway, it's not just once or twice.
The young man standing on the field looked at the little overlord, shook his head gently, and just calmly made preparations for battle, "It doesn't matter, it won't take long anyway."
This sentence made the little bully frown. It was as if he was looking down on him, as if he was saying that it would not take long to deal with him. This sentence should be what he said to the guy in front of him. .
The bully really wanted to say something bad. In this situation, he was the first person in school who dared to treat him with such an attitude. In fact, Holm could also treat him with such an attitude, but Holm I just don't want to attract so many people's attention.
"Let's start, don't waste time, but if you lose, just kneel on the ground and learn how to bark, and then work as a cow or a horse for three months."
The little bully opened the corner of his mouth and looked at the young man in front of him extremely arrogantly. It seemed that he had no intention of putting protective equipment on himself. He just stood in his preparation position and said, "Duel between men." Just be smart and don’t bring any protective equipment.”
This little bully simply has absolute confidence in his own strength and wants to use the weapons in his hands to leave more traces of lessons on the transfer student in front of him during the next competition.
The young man in front of him just sighed and muttered something in a low voice. He was ignorant and arrogant. He always felt that he was having a fencing match with the guy in front of him, which was a bit insulting to the sport of fencing.
However, he still put the protective mask on his hand aside. The young man also has his own pride, not to mention the young man, who always has his own temper. The young man may have guessed what the little overlord in front of him is thinking, since The little bully in front of me plans to reap the consequences, so what can he say?
As the two people stood in the preparation position, the noisy students around them also fell into silence again.
The classmate acting as the referee has already raised his hand.
Finally, with a start, the two people on the field made moves at the same time. The two rapiers collided together, and the luster of the metal flashed. Almost in an instant, the front part of the fencing, in order to prevent hurting people, The front end is specially designed to be round and spherical, and it hits the center of a person's eyebrows accurately.
Obviously, the people in the audience couldn't hear any sound, but at this moment, there seemed to be a huge sound of something colliding in their hearts.
Chapter 166: Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite
"pretty--!!"
I don't know who shouted this in the audience, and all the students watching here began to applaud and cheer.
The little bully covered his forehead, where a red dot stood out extremely conspicuously. It looked like the cinnabar dotted between the brows by a child in the East who had not grown up. It was also a tribute to this little bully who always regarded himself as a man. Adds a bit of ladylike charm.
Of course, the most important thing is that this little bully who has been bullying others is finally embarrassed at this moment, and now everyone is laughing at him. When the time comes, this little bully wants to find someone to settle the score with, and he doesn’t know who he should go to.
"Holmes, I remember you!"
After saying that, the little bully turned and ran out of the stadium. After seeing this scene, a young man named Holmes gently bowed his head to the surrounding audience, and then ran out behind the little bully. .
After Hom's friend looked at my clean and tidy game, he couldn't help but clenched his fists and looked at me. He was ready to find his friend and express his inner excitement, but there was no one around him.
"Strange? Where is Culus?"
In this campus grove, the sound of flesh colliding with flesh kept ringing, and at the same time, there was a scream. Don't get me wrong, this is certainly not because someone's part is too big, so that a certain lady, oh, also Maybe it’s just too much for men.
The collision of flesh and flesh here refers to the punch-to-flesh boxing action.
A boy was being hit with his fists by the little bully. Even so, it seemed that the little bully was still a little dissatisfied, so he simply raised the fencing weapon in his hand, although the tip of the weapon was not the sharp spike. But even so, the feeling of being struck by a rapier on someone's body is definitely like a whip.
Snapped--!
Along with a scream, an obvious blood stain appeared on the white stained shirt. The boy who was beaten curled up and protected his head, but in this case, his back And his arms were exposed in front of this little bully.
"XXX!! It's all your fault. It's all because the thing in your hand doesn't work at all, which makes me lose face. Did you do it on purpose? It's because my father doesn't like you at all, but likes me. Do you want me to make a fool of myself?! Sorry, even so, you are still the one who is not loved!!"
The boy who was curled up on the ground really wanted to say that he didn't deliberately use a fencing weapon that didn't feel good.
When he usually participates in such activities, he always borrows standard equipment from others. What the little bully is holding now is a gift that he saved up for two years to buy for himself.
The boy admitted that he had a certain degree of vanity. Although he was a child of an aristocrat, he did not have adequate entertainment equipment, so he bought the slightly more expensive fencing equipment. Yamato, the little bully, went to the store to order the latest equipment in person. The high-end equipment is still far behind in comparison. It is basically the same as the sky and the earth.
In fact, in the morning, this boy was still a little strange as to why this little bully would come up to him, beat him up severely, and then take away the fencing weapon that he had worked hard to save money for. He thought it was just because this little bully didn't want to hold such high-end goods in his hands.
Now it seems that the guy in front of me happened to need an equipment, so he remembered that he just snatched the equipment he just bought, and now he blamed himself for the loss.
The little overlord once again raised the weapon in his hand, ready to continue to vent his anger.
At this moment, another metallic luster came quickly from the side. With a crisp sound, the weapon in the little overlord's hand was bounced away, and a young man named Holmes stood in front of the little overlord.
"Although I don't know what kind of family background you have, I guess no matter which noble you are, you don't want to hear your children beating people on campus."
The little bully clenched his fists, and then took a deep breath. His eyes were like ferocious wolves, but in this extremely angry situation, the words spoken by the little bully in front of him didn't seem so. burning with rage.
"Okay...Holmes, do you also want to take care of our household affairs?"
Holmes just had a smile on his face and said unhurriedly, "I just think it's not a good thing for an illegitimate son to push his legitimate son to the ground and bully him. It's not a good thing for such a thing to spread to the media or the Queen's ears. Do you agree?"
The bully smiled strangely, glanced at the two men fiercely, and then turned and left the woods. Holmes turned around and helped the bullied boy up.
"Are you okay? Hmm... Go to the hospital to have a look at the wound. This should be your family matter. I shouldn't speak casually. So I just want to make a small suggestion. Sometimes the media can only provide public opinion. It’s also very powerful.”
The boy endured the pain and stood up. He looked at Holmes in front of him and kept saying thanks. He had indeed considered the suggestions given by Holmes. After all, his life was indeed very difficult now. If he continued like this, I'm afraid he would Not even as good as most people from the middle and lower bourgeoisie.
After telling Holmes that his illegitimate brother would definitely cause trouble for him again, the boy left the woods and walked towards his dormitory. He was going to let his friends see the seriousness of the injury on his back first. It's not serious. If there is no need to go to the hospital, the medical kit left in the dormitory should be able to help me.
Compared to going to the hospital directly, I would just suffer for a few more days.
It's really ridiculous. As the legitimate son of a nobleman, he doesn't have so much money on hand that he can go to the hospital for treatment without any worries when he is injured.
Holmes crossed his arms and looked at the direction the boy was leaving. Finally, he couldn't help but sigh. The grudges and grudges in the College were far beyond his imagination. Speaking of which, he never thought that he would meet him when he first came to this college. Such a situation.
"Well...but it feels good to help people occasionally."
