Becoming Professor Moriarty’s Probability - Chapter 261
262 – Moriarty the Patriot (End)
“Rats, isn’t that a bit too much, Miss Adler?”
“…Well.”
“After all, you can’t live without any of us.”
As I tried to maintain a calm expression while looking at the women who had appeared behind me and blocked my escape, Charlotte smiled and began to walk towards me.
“Well, no need to apologize.”
And so did the professor, who was standing behind her.
“You can repay us slowly from now on.”
“Could you please explain what this is all about?”
I was the one who asked them that question, but in fact, I already knew very well what was happening to me.
“It’s simpler than you think. You don’t have to worry about anything.”
“That’s right. We’ll take care of everything, so you don’t have to worry.”
Even so, I asked them the question just to make sure.
If it was a surprise party, I would be in a lot of trouble.
Of course, that’s unlikely.
“I’d like a little more detail.”
“It’s nothing. Just…”
“We’ve decided to move your residence to this house from today.”
As I thought so and asked again, the professor, who had been answering kindly, interrupted Charlotte’s words and began to whisper in my ear, caressing my shoulder.
“Two years ago, when you were immortal, you were just an ordinary person, even more fragile than an ordinary woman, weren’t you?”
“…Yes.”
“So, if you go out alone like you used to and have an accident, it would be a big deal.”
What she said seemed quite reasonable on the surface.
“And in the past year, you’ve lost limbs and died several times, haven’t you?”
“……..”
“You even threw yourself into a waterfall when things went wrong. You don’t value your life.”
If I hadn’t noticed the damp smile and eyes hidden in the professor’s usual relaxed expression, I would have accepted the offer without any doubt.
“So, from now on, we’re going to take turns… ‘managing’ you.”
“…Hmm.”
“We’ve already finished the paperwork. All you have to do is come with us. You don’t have to earn money or do housework. Just live here in peace and happiness.”
However, my expression was not so bright as I looked at the professor, who began to caress my cheek while making a proposal that could be called a man’s romance.
“Well… that sounds pretty good.”
“Is there a problem?”
“…Because it sounds like you’re going to lock me up against my will.”
As I muttered so, looking at the professor’s expression.
“””………..”””
The atmosphere in the mansion suddenly became heavy.
“Mr. Adler, what are you talking about?”
“Miss Adler, what do you mean?”
As I smiled, goosebumps breaking out in that atmosphere, I started to step back, sweating at the voices of the professor and Charlotte that echoed at the same time.
“Confinement is out of the question. The exit will always be open, and we will not restrain your body, so how can you call that confinement?”
“We’re just going to ‘manage’ you as we take turns. It’s for your safety.”
However, it was a futile act because the women, who had been drawn to retribution, had already blocked the way without leaving any gaps.
“You can leave here whenever you want.”
“But you’ll need to have at least three housemates with you. It’s not meant to mean anything else, it’s purely for your safety.”
“And as I said before, we don’t care what you do here. You’ll be provided with everything you want, from leisure items and hobbies to food and entertainment.”
“Of course, you’ll have to do a very simple service for us.”
That’s why I stopped walking and looked at him with a blank expression, and then I came to my senses and opened my mouth at the remark the professor made as he passed by.
“Service… what?”
“……”
“You said I didn’t have to do anything and just come with you…”
Then the professor smiled quietly and lowered his hand, which had been caressing my cheek.
“…It’s a service with your body.”
“Yes?”
“Aren’t you curious why we all made a peace treaty so dramatically a few days ago?”
Soon,Iwasconvinced,asherhandboldlyslippedinsidemycollarandfondledmybreasts.”Thatmeans…”
“Mr. Adler. We will definitely become a happy family.”

“Ha,hahaha…”

“Isthatall youcanseeme!?”
But,thatdidn’tmeanIcouldunderstandthemcompletely,soIraisedmyvoiceasangrilyaspossible.
“Mr. Adler. It’s a bit funny what you said.”
“…Youwerealways the one who chased me first.”
However,ofcourse,theywerenotofthekindofwomenwhobackeddownjustbyhearingthat.
“Isthereanyoneherewhoyouhaven’tchasedfirst?”
“That’s…”
Suddenly,IwantedtopointatJilltheRipper,whowasglaringatmewithagloomyexpressioninthecorner,butIdecidedtostop.
“…Yes, it’s my fault.”
It was just a matter of provoking, and there was something more important to do now than nitpicking.
‘SystemYang.’
[Whenwillyoucallme?]
Aftermakingthatjudgment,IcautiouslycalledSystemYang.
‘I’mgoingtousetherighttoawishIgotjustnow.’
Iwhisperedquietlytomyself,watchingtheexpressionsofthewomenwhohadbecomegentle.
[Really?]
[Asyouknow,thereisonlyonechance?]
[You have to wish for something that can happen at least according to the laws of this world?]
Inthiscompletelyhelpless,checkmate-like situation,there was only one wish I could make.
So, what kind of wish should I make?
I can’t just wish to escape from this place.
I can’t ask them to obey me or simply give me strong power.
Even if I run away, they will eventually chase me to hell, and if I try to change my mind with my right to wish, I will eventually return to my original nature, and they will become stronger than me if I am given only time.
‘Then, after all… there’s no other way.’
But that didn’t mean there was no way.
‘Withthatpower… there’s no way I can be reversed.’
Even if I can’t become stronger than them, there was at least one power in this world that would allow me not to be imprisoned.
‘My wish is…’
It’s time to reveal the card.
.
.
.
.

“Now, I’ll show you your room, so follow me.”
“By the way, service starts today. The first floor is the room for the children who will be born soon, so go to the second floor.”
Charlotte and the professor, who approached me with their eyes shining in my color, grabbed both of my arms at the same time and began to walk to the second floor of the mansion.
“Hoho…”
“”………?””
I stared at them with a relaxed expression, and then smiled slightly.
“…I’m sorry, but that’s not going to happen.”
“”……..?””
I immediately felt that the empty wish had been fulfilled by System Yang, and I stopped in my tracks with a bright smile.
– Pazijijijiji…!!!
The next moment, a red aura began to envelop me.
“…..Hic!”
Then, an embarrassed sigh came from next to me.
“M, M-Master…”
Poppy, who had been looking at me as if I were a prey until a moment ago, was trembling with cold sweat all over her body.
“S, s, surely…”
“…As expected, you noticed it right away.”
“The power of the great devil… has it returned?”
Yes, as my servant Poppy said, the empty wish I made to System Yang was none other than to regain all of my ‘devil’s power’.
According to System Yang, the real me is just a reincarnation, and the original ‘Isaac Adler’ as a devil is my true identity.
That’s why I think I was able to quickly return from human to devil with a hastily made wish.
“T, this can’t be happening…!”
And that word.
“The only way to capture a great devil like the master is through a ‘contract’…!”
Now, the way for those women to forcibly detain me was completely gone.
“C, contract… if I do it with a ‘marriage’…!”
“It’s no use, Ms. Jia.”
Inspector Lestrade, realizing that something was going wrong, tried to mention his marriage in a hurry, but I shook my head firmly.
“I’m a body that officially died two years ago?”
“Ah…”
“The death certificate has already been issued. So… all the contracts I’ve made so far have become scraps of paper.”
As I said, I had already died and been resurrected, so all the contracts I had signed like a blank check had already been reset.
In other words, there’s nothing to hold me back now.
No matter how powerful the devil is, I can’t beat them, but at least I won’t be unilaterally bound by the devil’s power.
“Poppy.”
“…Yes, sir.”
“Come here.”
I looked at the women who were starting to darken as they realized this, with a triumphant expression on my face, and beckoned Poppy, who was standing next to me, clueless.
“Ma, Master…”
“You’re my servant, so I’ll forgive you for being naughty for a while.”
“Th, thank you!”
Soon, I stroked her chin and instantly climbed to a favorable high ground.
“Heh heh…”
“But you’re not…”
I looked away from Poppy, who was panting, and looked at the women blocking the entrance, and began to speak in a confident voice.
“You should apologize for treating me like this.”
“””………”””
“Well, I said that, but I don’t intend to abandon you this time either.”
The atmosphere that seemed like they were going to eat me at any moment had completely changed.
“So, shall we make a contract?”
Because the initiative in the negotiation has passed to me.
“For an ‘ideal cohabitation’ where both of us can be satisfied, on an equal footing.”
Since what they want is ‘me’, my proposal will inevitably work.
“Well, don’t say no.”
Yes, in the end, I’m going to get it with my own hands.
“Maybe I’ll live in America in my next life?”
A peaceful and comfortable retirement life that I deserve as a natural result of finishing everything.
“…Why are you going to America?”
“Huh?”
Just then, as I watched the women’s expressions rotting in real time, I smiled.
“There must be a better place for you to live.”
Charlotte, who had been bowing her head quietly until then, began to whisper in a soft voice.
“What’s that…”
“Why are you pretending not to know? Mr. Adler.”
For some reason, I quietly tilted my head at the meaningful remark, and
“No, Kim Rihan.”
“…….!”
I couldn’t help but freeze with my eyes wide open as I listened to the professor’s words, who whispered softly in my ear.
“To the east… isn’t your hometown where they use that form of name?”
“…Oh, come on.”
That’s why only Charlotte and the professor among the women didn’t look moved, because they had roughly noticed.
.
.
.
.
.
– Tingling, tingling…
As soon as the professor finished speaking, a tingling sensation spread throughout my body.
“There is actually not one, but two ways to control the devil.”
“Yes, a more fatal weakness than the well-known contract is… the devil’s true name.”
Listening to their words in such a situation, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
‘It’s true…’
No matter how much my current appearance is my original state, I have completely lost my previous memories.
So, to be exact, my identity as the current Great Devil ‘Isaac Adler’ is stronger than my identity in the real world.
That’s why they were able to exercise some control over the weakened me two years ago with just the surname ‘Kim’.
“But… what do I do?”
There is one thing that Charlotte and the professor overlooked.
“…Kim Rihan is not my real name.”
The name ‘Kim Rihan’ that I used in the real world is actually not my real name.
It’s just a pseudonym I used during my days at the NIS to hide my rustic name.
“I don’t know how you found out that name… but did you make a mistake?”
I don’t know how that name was leaked, but I can’t be bound by a pseudonym that is just a mask.
“To control me now, you’ll have to find out my exact name…”
“”……….””
“Well, that must be impossible for you too.”
As I kindly informed them of that fact, the expressions of the two women began to grow noticeably colder.
“By the way, I’m disappointed once again.”
Observing that sight with the corners of my mouth turned up, I soon began to whisper with a deliberately cold expression.
“You lechers whose heads are filled with nothing but thoughts of attacking me.”
“”……..””
“Beasts. Perverts. Obscene.”
Judging from the fact that they couldn’t even make a sound as I tormented them like this, it seemed that they had finally made a decision.
“…I guess I’ll have to go on a trip for about a year as punishment.”
The victor of the last battle of wits was none other than me.
“In the meantime, please reflect on your behavior.”
“A, Adler.”
“Well then…”
“Wait a minute…!”
Sensing that, I leisurely took a step towards the exit, and Charlotte’s urgent voice came from behind me.
“What is it?”
“I, I… We were wrong.”
Soon, she grabbed my arm and began to plead with me, her face pale.
“I’ll never do anything like this again. Really…”
“How can I believe that?”
“I, I swear! I’ll sign a contract however you want, and I’ll give you everything you want…!”
At first, I really thought about going on a trip for a few weeks to torment her, but when she came out so humble, my heart softened again.
“Please don’t leave us…”
Noticing that, she hugged my waist and pleaded with me even more earnestly.
“Ugh… Ugh…”
“Well, if you’re going to say that…”
“More than anything… It’s getting chilly now…”
As I watched that sight, I soon put away my annoyance and tried to wrap things up flexibly by writing a contract that was somewhat more favorable to me.
“…It’s dawn.”
However, after hearing Charlotte’s subsequent, eerily changed voice in the blink of an eye, I couldn’t help but freeze in place.
“It’s not a very good time to travel.”
“….! ……!!!”
Because.
“Huh? Why is that?”
The words she whispered to me at the end were surprisingly not English, but fluent Korean.
“Is something wrong with your body?”
Crucially, the word ‘dawn’ contained in those words was.
“Did it suddenly become stiff as if it were being pressed by scissors?”
It was none other than my reverse scale(weakness).
“Why are you doing that, Dawn?”
“…….You, you.”
A name with three characters that my parents, who had passed away early due to an accident, had left me as their only legacy, a girl’s name that I had always disliked.
“How… how…..”
My real name was Kim Sae-byeok.
“How? I made you say it yourself a few days ago.”
“…What?
“I hate to admit it, but my older sister played a big role.”
I, who had been frozen stiff like a stone and was only blinking my eyes, couldn’t help but lose my words at Microny’s subsequent remark.
“We didn’t get a response on my True Name Detection Scroll, which I made by slightly modifying the dimension opening scroll we were making last time, using the mana recovery potion.”
Yes, in fact, I had been playing around in the palm of their hands from the very beginning.
“In the end, you did tell us your name on the 74th try. Hoho…”
“Ah…”
I thought I had them on a leash.
“Now that we know your real name, I decided it would be easier to manage if you became a demon. It’s easy to control and you won’t die.”
“……..”
“That’s why I tried to guide you as much as possible so that you would regain your demonic powers on your own… I didn’t think things would go so quickly and easily.”
In fact, I didn’t even realize that a leash had been put around my neck instead.
“Is that because of the help of this unknown, cute helper?”
“…….!”
But how did this happen?
The professor is pointing exactly where System-nim, who is clearly invisible, is floating.
“Did you think I wouldn’t notice?”
Could it be that he predicted System-nim’s existence and even figured out the approximate location where she would appear?
“S, System-nim…!”
I had almost reached the limits of my intelligence as I watched that bizarre behavior in a daze, and soon I barely pulled myself together and opened my mouth urgently.
“Help me…!”
[Congratulations!]
“…Yes?”
However, the verdict had already been reached.
[Hidden Ending – Happy Harem]
[Thank you for your hard work, Isaac Adler.]
“Ah… Aah…!”
That’s because System-nim, along with a tiny firecracker UI, declared a ‘happy ending’ in a truly cruel manner.
“What kind of happy ending is this!!!!”
[Look here.]
[Look.]
Chapter 250 – Reunion in the Empty House (3)
The women find out Adler’s real name, and he realizes that he has been controlled. He asks System-nim for help, but System-nim tricks the women into getting Adler’s devil powers back. Adler is dragged away by Charlotte and the Professor, his body stiff, and he pleads with System-nim for one last chance, but she says she will give him a chance if he revises John Watson and the other supporting characters. Adler gives up hope and is dragged to his room, and as his door closes, his screams echo out, though the women promise to treat him “gently.” 20 years later, there are rumors of strange noises coming from an abandoned house on the outskirts of London, but they soon fade from people’s minds. However, with the outbreak of World War I, the legendary confrontation between Professor James Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes begins, and the origin of this story is the disastrous encounter between Adler and the Professor about 20 years ago.
[I’m sure you’ve shown me all the probabilities clearly and without hiding anything.]
Of course, I was furious, but as System-nim said, I might have already known.
[This is your ending.]
“……..”
My future, which has been determined based on the countless probabilities of imprisonment, kidnapping, and rape that I have seen.
“Dawn, let’s go.”
“…Yes. Should I call you Dawn now instead of Adler?”
Like that, I was dragged away by Charlotte and the Professor, my body completely stiff and my expression blank.
‘System-nim…’
[?]
‘Please give me one more chance…’
I immediately begged System-nim, putting on the most pitiful expression I could, with my last hope.
[I shouldn’t be doing this…]
[Well, I’ll give you a special chance because it’s you.]
‘R, really?’
I had a glimmer of hope for a moment at the answer that came back, but.
[Before that, just revise John Watson, Mycroft Holmes, Inspector Lestrade, Sebastian Moran, John Clay, Arsène Lupin, Jack the Ripper, and the other supporting characters.]
“……..”
I checked the message that appeared below it, and I gave up my last hope and hung my head.
“Master… you’re weak again?”
Poppy’s whisper, who had been watching me and then muttered with her eyes shining, pierced my ears eerily.
“Please…”
But even so, I was dragged up the stairs and into a room at the end of the second floor without any resistance.
“Will you be gentle so that I don’t get hurt…?”
I begged them in a pleading voice, each with a different expression, but their eyes were strangely shining.
– Creak…
In the end, my door closed quietly without anyone answering me.
“…If it breaks, we can fix it.”
“The devil doesn’t die.”
With that, a deep silence fell over the mansion.
“Hey, wait a minute! Stop it!”
“D, don’t take it off!”
“No, no, don’t do it!!!”
Only my screams echoed pitifully in the silence.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”
.
.
.
.
.
Like that, Isaac Adler, who had recently reappeared in public after a long time, disappeared from the world again after that day.
In London, where peace and chaos were intertwined as usual, a strange rumor began to circulate.
It was that strange screams or moans could be heard from an abandoned house on the outskirts of London.
Unfortunately or fortunately, despite the disappearance of the strange phenomenon, there were many more horrible things happening in London, so the rumor was soon quietly forgotten among the people.
About 20 years passed like that.
For some reason, at the time when World War I was about to begin, triggered by the major incident in which the head of the Austro-Hungarian Empire gave birth to a blonde-haired child with a completely different hair color from his own in Sarajevo.
Professor James Moriarty, who had revived and begun to manipulate the world war behind the scenes, and the legendary confrontation between Sherlock Holmes, the great detective who appeared like a comet in England, which was enveloped in the darkness of war, also began.
“…Excuse me, everyone.”
Not many people will know the backstory of the incident that would give birth to the world’s most famous hero.
“I’ve been thinking seriously about it lately.”
That all of their stories began with the worst form of first meeting between a confused student and a bored professor, which took place about 20 years and 3 years ago.
“I think it’s about time we tried contraception.”
“Denied.”
“If you dared to play with your lower body while avoiding our eyes, you must have been prepared to take responsibility?”
Furthermore, no one would know that their story would continue in real time, even now, and probably far into the future.
“…Save the devil.”
“Shut up and take off your pants.”
“Okay, let’s finish quickly because I have to make dinner for the kids.”
Except for one family, the world’s strongest family, who already had enough power to shake most of the world in their hands.
Professor Moriarty’s probability has become – Fin
