Good day, everyone.[bgm BGM_EVENT_79 0.1]

|

＠Holmes
|
||
My name is Sherlock Holmes. I am the world's greatest detective, as well as its only consulting one.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
I am both the progenitor of all detectives, and the essence of the very concept[line 2]one who reveals truth.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
Today, I am here to guide you all towards a new mystery, and the facts that lie at its core.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
I originally became involved with Chaldea when I began investigating the Incineration of Humanity incident in 2018, when I played a part in the Fourth and Sixth Singularities.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
However, once Goetia, the King of Demon Gods, was defeated, and his plan to incinerate humanity foiled, the world was faced with a new crisis.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
I speak, of course, of the bleaching of humanity[line 2]an event that has resulted in the entire earth being wiped clean save for the Lostbelts.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
As you all surely know, this incident led to my gaining an official administrative advisor position at Chaldea.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 8]
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
And I must say, it suits me rather nicely.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 0]
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
While I continue to act as a detective, naturally, I've also found the work of supporting a larger organization to be quite stimulating.

＠Holmes
|
||
Unfortunately, I'm afraid there[sr]is little room for optimism...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
...given the sheer scale of this case.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 5]
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
My current theory is that in a sense, this bleached Earth phenomenon pairs directly with the Incineration of Humanity.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
When Goetia incinerated all of human history, he did so by starting in 2018 and going back in time to collect the necessary energy.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
That is to say, the infamous king never bothered to collect energy from the future, because he knew there would be no human history from which to collect.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
So using 2018 as a single turning point, he headed back towards the past and succeeded at destroying humanity.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
Conversely, this great reset has left the past untouched, destroying humanity now, robbing it of its future.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
Given these facts, one could argue that the King of Demon Gods' plan was intended to avoid this very future...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
...as it involved incinerating humanity and remaking Earth before it was wiped clean.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 4]
|
||
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
It is a dreadful problem and a horrific mystery. Even Goetia believed it beyond his ability to resolve.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Holmes
|
||
Bad as things are, we cannot afford to stop seeking a solution. Not if we are to regain humanity, and everything else that was lost.

All parties involved with those incidents already have the clearance to view those records freely, so it shouldn't pose a problem.

More so given that these hard copies will be for Novum Chaldea's own underground library. There is not a single person here who isn't part of Chaldea, and therefore involved in some way.

In R. L. Stevenson's novella, Dr. Jekyll drinks an experimental serum that causes him to gain a new, evil personality, the titular Mr. Hyde.
|

[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace B 7]
|

As Mr. Hyde, his very body transforms to reflect his wicked nature, and he undertakes a series of awful deeds.

Dr. Jekyll is so aghast by this turn of events that he ends up killing Mr. Hyde by taking his own life.

The Adventure of the Speckled Band was one of the[sr]most popular Sherlock Holmes stories of its day.

It begins when a woman from Surrey asks Holmes to[sr]investigate the circumstances of her twin sister's death.

Her sister died in a locked room, with seemingly no way for the killer to get in or out, and the last words she spoke were “The speckled band!” In the end, it's revealed that[line 2]

The “speckled band” was actually a venomous snake.

[charaFace A 7]

There's also the fact that the killer enticed the snake with milk, the fact that the snake's venom should not kill its victims so quickly...

I expect the responsible party is most likely a Clock Tower dropout or, on the other end of the spectrum, a Seal Designated mage.

I must say, whoever let something like this slip out of the Clock Tower ought to be ashamed. Not that any admonishment will do us much good at the moment.
