Chapter 714: Chapter 680: Things Shouldn’t Be Repeated Three Times_1 Chapter 714: Chapter 680: Things Shouldn’t Be Repeated Three Times_1 Many novels feature characters that are similar to ultimate villains, and “Sherlock Holmes” is no exception.

The ultimate villain of this novel is named Moriarty.

On the surface, he is a university professor and philosopher with a good reputation in the public eye.

However, behind the scenes, he is the head of a world criminal organization, a man with no conscience or morals, and a criminal genius whose intellect matches that of Sherlock Holmes!

He has created a vast criminal empire in London, England, with an underground network spreading across countries.

Half of the cases in London are related to him, and after every crime, he leaves no trace, destroying all evidence unnoticed and escaping cleanly without fail.

Even Holmes often hits a brick wall in dealing with him.

There has never been a direct description of Moriarty in the novel.

This character is mostly portrayed through Holmes’s reports.

The next chapter Lin Yuan is to write is called “The Final Case.”
Moriarty, as the ultimate villain, will make his formal debut in this story!

And his debut is quite spectacular…

That’s because this ultimate villain dies shortly after his first appearanceaEUR”along with the protagonist Sherlock HolmesaEUR”from falling off a cliff!

Isn’t that spectacular?

In other words:
Sherlock Holmes is going to die!

And perish together with Moriarty!

That’s why Lin Yuan felt uneasy.

He had previously killed off Biyao and Hercule Poirot, causing a reader rebellion each time.

Lin Yuan could almost foresee:
If he kills Holmes, the readers will be furious.

As the serialization of “Sherlock Holmes” progressed, Holmes’s popularity has skyrocketed.

Biyao can’t compare to him.

Only Poirot, who Lin Yuan killed off last time, can compete with Holmes.

That was only because Lin Yuan had built up Poirot’s image first on Blue Star, and thus had the advantage of the first impression…

In the past life.

Conan Doyle caused a reader rebellion when he killed off Holmes – the most exaggerated reader rebellion in the history of Earth.

The consequences were even more severe than Jin Yong’s Dragon Rider incident…

So severe that, under the threat of public opinion, Conan Doyle was forced to resurrect Holmes.

This time Lin Yuan’s plan to kill Holmes will definitely cause a big stir.

But what’s the saying again?

Once bitten, twice shy.

Despite a moment of hesitation, Lin Yuan didn’t pause for long, nor did he intend to forcefully change the plot.

He’s well-practiced now.

Anyway, Chu Kuang the old rascal had been bearing the brunt for years.

This time wouldn’t make much difference.

The readers are probably getting used to it.

Two minutes later.

Lin Yuan sat down in front of the computer and started typing away.

He planned to kill off Holmes according to the planned plot!

This process didn’t last long.

About half an hour later, Lin Yuan finished writing “The Final Case” and sent it to Jin Mu.

“The Final Case?”
When Jin Mu received “The Final Case,” his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

This title reminded Jin Mu of “Curtain,” the last chapter of the Hercule Poirot series.

“Is it the ‘final case’ that I’m thinking of?”
Jin Mu gave Lin Yuan a skeptical look.

Reason told him that Lin Yuan wouldn’t manipulate readers’ feelings over and over again.

Last time, Poirot’s death might have taught Chu Kuang a lesson.

But at the same time, Jin Mu understood:
A man cheats no more than 0 times or countless times.

Chu Kuang has played with readers’ feelings more than once already.

Lin Yuan said seriously, “Three strikes and you’re out.”
“Phew.”
At Lin Yuan’s words, Jin Mu heaved a sigh of relief.

“That’s good, then.

I’ll send the novel to Silver Blue Books.”
…

Silver Blue Books.

When the editor-in-chief of the mystery section, Cao Dezhi, received the manuscript for “The Final Case,” his reaction was somewhat similar to Jin Mu’s:
“Is this title going to cause trouble?”
“Three strikes and you’re out.”
Jin Mu replied with a smile, “That’s what Chu Kuang said himself.”
With Chu Kuang’s extensive list of past offenses, anyone who sees the title “The Final Case” would instinctively image something dark and dredge up some not-so-pleasant memories.

Upon hearing Jin Mu’s assurance, Cao Dezhi’s voice lightened:
“That settles it, then.”
It seems like even Chu Kuang has learned from the past two reader rebellions.

Great!

After hanging up the phone.

Cao Dezhi began to read the novel.

Not long after he started reading, Cao Dezhi’s eyes lit up:
The ultimate villain of the Sherlock Holmes series, Moriarty, has finally made his appearance!

Many Sherlock Holmes fans have been waiting for this day!

Who wouldn’t want to see the protagonist face off against the biggest villain in the book?

Interest and anticipation suddenly skyrocket.

Cao Dezhi turned the pages with delight, reading on rapturously.

The process was still interesting.

Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty battled wits and courage, even Holmes’ house on Baker Street was burned down in the process.

But after all, Sherlock Holmes is still the protagonist.

Through his precise calculations, he gradually took the upper hand, and Moriarty’s gang was eventually arrested.

The only regret is that Professor Moriarty escaped!

Sherlock Holmes was very annoyed.

He continued to chase Moriarty with all his might.

“Could this chapter be the grand finale of ‘Sherlock Holmes’?”
As Cao Dezhi was reading this part, he thought of the title of this chapter and his mood suddenly plummeted.

Sherlock Holmes was too hot of a topic now!

He was the second super detective to be famous all over the world after Hercule Poirot!

The end of such a novel would definitely have a huge impact!

But Sherlock Holmes has been serialized for so long that it seems to be time for the story to conclude.

Even though the current popularity of Sherlock Holmes is at its peak!

But would Chu Kuang care about this?

When it comes to ending a novel, he never holds back, no matter how popular the novel is at the moment!

Moreover.

Compared to his previous works, the Sherlock Holmes series has already had a lot of episodes.

No wonder this chapter is called “The Final Case”.

Cao Dezhi felt a bit restless, and he subconsciously wanted to immediately call Chu Kuang to confirm.

If his judgment is correct, this will be a news that shocks the entire novel world!

But out of curiosity for the following plot, he continued to read on.

After all, he was almost at the end of this chapter.

Sherlock Holmes arrived at a place called “Reichenbach Falls.”
The depiction of this waterfall in the text was ominous, and Chu Kuang spent quite a bit of effort presenting this waterfall.

Could Moriarty be hiding somewhere near the waterfall?

The experienced Cao Dezhi felt that something was caught.

All of a sudden.

His already heavy heart suddenly felt covered by a shadow, with the feeling that something bad was going to happen.

Chu Kuang won’t…

Impossible!

Cao Dezhi shook his head fiercely.

This is Sherlock Holmes!

When has Sherlock Holmes ever made a mistake in arresting a criminal?

Even if the other person is Moriarty!

I have to say!

The image Sherlock Holmes has left for readers is too powerful!

It’s so powerful that everyone thinks that it’s only natural for Sherlock Holmes to always have the last laugh.

Including Cao Dezhi.

Cao Dezhi even started to laugh: “How could it be possible, even if the novel is about to end, Teacher Chu Kuang wouldn’t dare to commit such a huge mistake.”
Some people laugh when they watch horror films.

Experts analyze that this is actually the audience relieving their fear, rather than really not being afraid or finding it funny.

“Nothing comes in threes, right?”
Cao Dezhi muttered to himself as he laughed.

This is what Teacher Chu Kuang said himself, it’s pretty much a spoiler.

That’s annoying.

Cao Dezhi continued to read the novel with laughter.

Three minutes later.

The smile on Cao Dezhi’s face completely froze.

In the quiet office, a breathing sound gradually grew heavier.

Standing out against the veins that popped out, Cao Dezhi’s rationality was gradually swallowed by anger and resentment.

At the same time.

Jin Mu also finished reading the content of “The Final Case” in the studio, staring at Lin Yuan like he was choosing someone to bite:
“What about the ‘nothing comes in threes’ promise?”
“Hmmm.”
“Biyao was the first, Poirot was the second, Sherlock Holmes is the third, is this the supposed ‘nothing comes in threes’?”
Jin Mu looked at Lin Yuan through gritted teeth, and his voice seemed to come out between his teeth!

Swipe, swipe, swipe.

Lin Yuan quickly cleared off all the dangerous objects from the table, and then looked at Jin Mu: “This is absolutely the last time.”
“…”
Following Biyao and Poirot, Sherlock Holmes became the third ultra-popular character to fall foul of Chu Kuang!
