I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

Mycroft continued, "We have conducted a series of investigations on this, and we have indeed obtained some things. But more often than not, once our people find something, you will erase the relevant memories. .”

"Wait a minute." Watson finally couldn't help but said, "How did you know he was a magician?"

He looked at Sherlock.

"He has been spying on me." Sherlock said, "To satisfy his certain peeping quirks. In fact, it's not just me, he has also peeped into the secrets of many people. Of course, more often than not, he gets it from me. Information, usually provided to him unsolicited by me.”

He looked at Locke and slowly raised the corners of his mouth, "This is also my second-hand preparation."

"You are a bit wrong." Mycroft said, "I am also aware of the information that you did not provide voluntarily."

"Really?" Sherlock narrowed his eyes and mocked, "You are so powerful, but you want to bribe my assistant to become your informant?"

Mycroft shrugged, "It's always good to have an extra pair of eyes. Besides, you have never had friends, but suddenly a roommate appears. As your brother, shouldn't I meet him?"

"It shouldn't be." Sherlock said, "Is there a possibility that I am an adult, Mycroft. Is your need for control a bit too strong?"

Mycroft was silent for a moment and then said, "If you were an ordinary person, I wouldn't care."

After a pause, he said, "You are very rebellious. You have been rebellious since you were a child. Your rebelliousness has become more serious after you gained wisdom. You feel that everyone is not as smart as you. This arrogance makes you have no real friends at all. But you long for friends in your heart, and this feeling of loneliness makes you choose to spend your life by looking for excitement, so you choose to investigate and deal with those vicious murderers.

You are not doing it for justice, you are just doing it to satisfy some of your own special desires.

But, Sherlock, this will also gradually lead you to the abyss of self-destruction.

And I am your brother. "

Sherlock was silent for a while, then sneered, "It seems true. Are you normal?"

Mycroft shrugged nonchalantly, "At least he's more normal than you."

Sherlock looked at Watson, "Which one of us do you think is more normal?"

"emm" Watson hesitated to speak.

But after a moment, Locke said quietly, "I don't think you are normal."

"The topic is a bit distorted." Mycroft said.

After a pause, he continued, "Do you have anything to say, Locke?"

Locke was silent, speechless.

Mycroft's words continued.

"The fact that you did not harm us investigators shows that you are kind to ordinary people like us and have a certain order. We are not enemies.

In other words, you are actually human beings, living in a human society and having your own friends, but you are just beings with special powers. "

He turned his head and looked at Locke sitting in the corner.

"We can understand why you want to hide it. Having this kind of power will always make people fearful.

However, these are no longer the ignorant days of the past. Witch hunting incidents will never happen again. As technology advances, civilization will also advance, and humans will become more tolerant.

Moreover, you cannot deny that with the advancement of technology, it will become more and more difficult for you to hide.

You guys need some help. With the help of the government, it will be easier for you to hide in this world.

Our only purpose is to share information.

I don't want us to die inexplicably every time a dangerous supernatural event happens.

In fact, similar things have happened in the past, haven't they?

I don’t know if you still remember it, but it still clearly exists in the secret records of the Britannian government.

Nearly ten thousand people lost their lives due to various accidents in a short period of time.”

Mycroft smiled, "Do you think we are stupid, too stupid to see the strangeness here?"

"What's that?" Sherlock asked curiously.

"More than ten years ago, not long after the World War ended." Mycroft turned his head.

Locke was still silent, speechless.

"Do you still want to remain silent?" Mycroft said, "And then wait until everything is over before modifying our memories?"

"I'm just a trainee exorcist." Locke said helplessly, "I can't make the decision."

He initially revealed his magic to Sherlock so as not to involve the police.

But now, it seems that some people more troublesome than the police have been involved.

"I can prove it." Sherlock said, "He is indeed a dabbler and is easier to deal with than those murderers."

Locke smiled bitterly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Sherlock raised his eyebrows.

Locke looked at Mycroft in the co-pilot. He was stroking the wand in his hand, seeming to be hesitating whether he should use magic to erase the memories of these people here.

According to the rules, this is indeed how it should be.

But it is undeniable.

What the person in front of me said does seem to make some sense. Until now, he had actually gotten on this bus because of various rules such as not exposing magic.

If there is cooperation from human governments, their work will undoubtedly become much easier.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "The association has been letting go over the years. A long time ago, not to mention using magic on humans, anyone who used magic in front of humans would face imprisonment."

He had an intuition that the person in front of him might really be able to convince some people in the magical world.

Watson said with some surprise, "Isn't it too frustrating to have this kind of power and not be able to use it?"

"Indeed." Locke nodded.

"Then what?" Mycroft said.

Locke fell silent. He had no intention of continuing the topic, so he changed the subject.

"As far as I know, some of the people above do have the idea of ​​contacting you."

"Then let this be our first cooperation." Mycroft said.

"I need to report something," Locke said.

While they were talking, the car finally arrived near the imperial capital.

In other words, at the edge of the Imperial Capital's fence, the tall walls blocked their view. From here, the entire street was almost filled with the Imperial Capital's walls, extending to the end of the street.

Looking at this continuous wall, people can imagine what kind of rights the original royal family had in Britannia.

They drove through this street, turned at an intersection, and saw the long city wall. They drove for several minutes before they saw the large iron gate outside the palace.

Watson actually went into the palace in the past.

To be precise, the palace should be called the palace area. It is an area composed of many palace-shaped building complexes and green areas.

Part of the palace is open as a tourist attraction, while another part is used for offices.

The palace gate used as an attraction is at the main entrance, and there is a large palace square at the entrance.

Many people in Britannia often go for a walk in the square, which is also a tourist attraction. There is a large statue of Baal Britannia, the founding emperor of the country.

At this moment, what they entered was the back door leading to the palace area used for offices.

But even the back door is still very luxurious and heavy compared to the doors of other mansions. The reliefs on the wrought iron gate are lifelike, and the traces left by the years on it do not bring any sense of antiquity. Instead, it makes people feel the weight of history, and it is completely impossible to tell that it is a back door.

The car slowly drove to the door.

The guard standing guard at the door came over.

The window slowly lowered, and the driver handed a certain document in his hand to the guard.

The guard looked at the ID, and Watson could clearly feel his eyes gradually becoming awe-inspiring.

He stood still, gave a military salute to the driver, and then signaled the guards at the security hall to let him go.

With the sound of branches, the wrought iron gate slowly opened, and the car drove into the palace along this path.

Watson had a feeling of disbelief the moment the car entered the palace. They came in so easily.

You know, some tourists will be turned away by guards even if they get close to the door, let alone go in.

The car drove into a square. Under a four-story gray cube building, the solemn main entrance with the national emblem of Britannia hanging was the center of the country's power.

There are many statues in the square in front of the palace. The golden statue of the Goddess of Victory stands on a high marble platform, with shining golden light, as if it is about to fall from the sky. The golden angel on the statue of King Arthur represents the glory of that era.

In the past, this palace was used by the emperor to work and receive distinguished guests. It was the earliest palace, commonly known as the British Palace. It has been expanded several times over the past hundreds of years to reach its current scale.

There are more than 600 rooms in the palace, including ceremony halls, concert halls, banquet halls, and galleries. It is one of the best buildings in the entire West.

Of course, this is not the extravagance of today’s government. As one of the world's superpowers, it naturally needs an office space that befits the status of its top leader.

Not only is it your own office, but it is also a place responsible for receiving distinguished guests. This is the face of a country.

And since there is a ready-made palace here, and it can also show the glory of the past, then naturally there is no need to build it anymore, which would be extravagant.

But even so, the increasingly huge palace maintenance costs are indeed a headache, and there are actually many items that need to be repaired.

This includes roofing and renovation of its state banquet hall; replacement of heating and electrical systems and removal of asbestos buildings; and replacement of rusty water pipes from the Age of Moria. Moreover, in previous years, the palace would leak on rainy days, and rainwater dripped along the ceiling of the King's Gallery, which houses tens of millions of works of art.

However, with the cessation of the war, the rest of the palace's tourism revenue and rental income from various banquets and concerts have basically been able to self-finance.
