——No matter the past or the future, it is her.

On the other side, Aiwass was sitting with James.

"...small key?"

Aiwass murmured in a low voice and frowned slightly.

He thought of many possibilities in his mind, but there was no definite answer.

As for the key, it should be for opening the door. But what door needs to be opened by yourself?

Seeing Aiwass's reaction, James suddenly laughed.

The old man stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture calmly.

"Is this something that can't be said?" Aiwass asked.

"It seems that your progress is not enough."

James smiled so happily that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes creased with laughter: "Then I won't say anything."

There is no doubt...James is testing Aiwass to see how far he has learned about himself.

Aiwass had no reaction to this keyword, which exposed some of his intelligence.

——For example, which period did Aiwass come back from? Or, for example, how far has his plan been completed?

"Then how about we change one question to another?"

James asked gently: "Why are you so wary of Dad?"

After hearing this, Aiwass made two points clear -

James was indeed aware that under the skin of "Aiwass" was another Aiwass; and he was aware of Aiwass's vigilance and vigilance towards him.

Since there are many different timelines in this detail, he can be so keenly aware of Aiwass' inner thoughts... then Aiwass's adoptive father must have seen it more clearly.

...Is this why he left?

Because he sensed that Aiwass was wary of him, he simply faked his death and escaped, taking advantage of the situation to hide in the dark...

"I will send the guest away, sir."

When he said this, Oswald came back.

Aiwass subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Oswald, and Professor Moriarty waved his hand, signaling Oswald to leave first.

After Oswald nodded and left, Aiwass said softly: "Father, I don't really want to answer this question."

"Then don't answer."

James smiled and nodded, and said very calmly: "If you ask me a question, I won't say it if you don't want to say it; then, if you don't want to answer a question I ask you, it's the same thing. Our relationship is equal, Aiwass.

"No need to compromise, I will try my best to help you."

"...Because you want me to live, right?"

"right."

James gave a definite answer.

The professor must have a plan for Aiwass, and Aiwass, who does not know what the "little key" means, must have failed to complete his mission. In order to help himself in another world line complete the plan, the professor will not let him

Aiwass died in the dream world.

Aiwass was also vaguely aware of this, but he still had to ask to confirm it.

——In other words, James’ ultimate goal must transcend personal interests.

He knew that he was in a promotion ceremony and was just a pseudo-soul created by the Pillar God, but he was trying his best to maintain the stability of this promotion ceremony. He also tried to help the other "real self" hide information.

If he is serving himself, then he does not need to stand so firmly with his true self. For him at this moment, after all, he is a different individual.

"Then it's my turn."

James asked: "You are a [Holy Entity] now, right?"

"...I'm not 100% sure, but it should be."

After a moment of silence, Aiwass replied seriously.

This is not a lie, but the truth.

Because even if he tells the truth, the real Professor Moriarty will not know. But Aiwass hopes to get intelligence from James who has more information - every question of Professor Moriarty

It must be meaningful.

You can get some feedback by carefully exploring his perspective on the problem, the purpose of the question and his reaction after getting the correct reply.

But Professor Moriarty stopped asking further questions.

He just leaned back and leaned on the sofa happily: "I have no questions. I can also answer your last question or help you complete a task."

"...Can you lend me Mr. Oswald?"

Aiwass thought for a long time and then asked.

"Can."

James answered without hesitation.

He didn't even think about it at all, but responded immediately the moment Aiwass finished speaking.

But at this moment, Oswald suddenly came back quickly.

"I'm sorry, sir. But..."

The old elf hesitated to speak, his expression was a little strange. He glanced at Aiwass, and then looked at James hesitantly.

"What's wrong?"

James asked.

Without waiting for his response, Shafiya took Isabel's hand and walked out closely behind Oswald.

She took Isabel and sneaked directly into Moriarty Manor.

Oswald obviously knew what was happening in the Palace of Silver and Tin at this moment, so when he saw Isabel fleeing here directly, he subconsciously thought that this was Professor Moriarty's arrangement.

But Aiwass, who was sitting on the sofa, locked eyes with Isabel, who was looking straight at him.

In just a moment of looking at each other with emotion, both parties can understand each other's identities.

——This is him.

——This is exactly her.
