Sherlock Holmes

There was a loud noise of "Bang!"

Of course it wasn't the sound of the old priest's head exploding!

On the contrary, Deacon Bader's strong body suddenly flew out to the side and rear in a strange way!

He first knocked away several guards, then smashed a long row of steam valves on the roadside without losing momentum, and finally embedded himself into the wall on the street.

It was only then that people around him saw that in the position of his heart was a dark spike that was only as thick as a finger but more than a meter long!

This spike is undoubtedly very hard, and the horn on the surface is like shiny black metal, and it is also extremely fast. At this moment, Deacon Bader has been embedded in the wall, and the masonry has made a soft cracking sound. The sound of breaking wind carried by the root thorns just caught up, sounding like a strange and distant echo.

Sherlock looked at this sudden scene, and completed extremely complex calculations and reasoning in his mind in an instant. Such a speed compressed the huge impact into a narrow range as thick as a thumb, so how much could this impact cause? Horrible damage

But even with such a horrific injury, it still couldn't penetrate Deacon Bader's chest! !

Sherlock turned his head and looked in the direction where the spikes were coming from, and saw an extremely slender figure standing quietly on the top of the tallest tower in the entire block, illuminated by the Zeppelin's huge lights.

Catherine.

And next to her, there was a prostrate tree, no, more accurately, there should be a large clump of dark plants growing.

It is similar to some kind of vine, but each branch is as thick as an arm, intertwined with each other, almost covering the top of the entire tower. These vines grow silently, and when the light is not shining, they actually blend into the darkness. As one body, even Sherlock didn't notice it in advance;

And in the center surrounded by vines, there is a group of pitch-black sporangia, which is swelling at a terrifying rate.

The surrounding air was quickly sucked in, and the spore sacs expanded dozens of times in one second. Even under the light, the dark veins like blood vessels in the spore walls could be vaguely seen.

Sherlock was a little surprised. He had never mentioned it in the books he had read before. It turned out that the contractors could control not only abyssal creatures, but also plants.

Well, the authors of those books probably only collected information about some low-level contractors, and how could a group of stinky book-writing guys come into contact with contractors who have reached the second stage.

Just thinking about it.

Suddenly, the huge spore sac on the tower shrank suddenly, and instantly completed an explosion-like spit! At the same time, another pitch-black spike shot out from the spore sac, crossing the entire long street in an instant. It exceeded the visual limit of everyone including Sherlock, and also exceeded the sound of the piercing wind. There was only the recoil. The resonance caused caused Catherine's long hair to dance wildly in the night!

"boom!"

There was a louder sound, and the long black thorns were nailed to Deacon Bader's heart again. This kind of vine undoubtedly has a more precise positioning method than vision. The two long thorns almost hit the same position, and suddenly the wall Thick smoke billowed out from the shock, and the cracks spread crazily.

Catherine did not give the other party a chance to breathe. The aftershock had not subsided, and the third long needle had arrived, followed by the fourth and fifth.

boom! boom! ! boom! ! ! ! !

The successive loud noises turned into an indistinguishable roar!

The wall that carried too much impact collapsed suddenly, thick smoke was everywhere, and then the sixth, seventh, and unknown number of spikes penetrated the thick smoke, continuing to bombard without mercy.

I don't know how long this loud noise lasted. It wasn't until Sherlock felt that his eardrums were about to be torn apart by the shock that the attack finally stopped. Looking at the building in the thick smoke, it seemed as if it had endured a dozen times. Just like a tragic gas leak accident, it completely collapsed and turned into a pile of ruins!

Under this situation, even if the other party is a contractor, he should be dead.

Those terrifying spikes should have already pierced it into a ball of bloody thorns of human flesh.

It seemed that everyone thought so. Catherine stood on the high tower and finally breathed out a breath of turbidity. The old priest felt that the abyssal beast that coexisted with Deacon Bader in the distance was weakening rapidly, until Wailed, collapsed, motionless, and finally opened his tired eyes.

The deafening sound of turbines on the long street gradually stopped, and the armor that had not yet been scrapped began to pour out steam to dissipate heat.

It's finally over. The nerves that have been tense can finally take a breather

In fact, everyone knows that this is a battle with a determined outcome from the beginning, because those who violate the laws of the Holy See can only die!

However, Sherlock remained motionless in the shadows. His eyes seemed to be brighter, staring at the collapsed ruins.

The previous hail of bullets, the smoke carried by the bullets, the frightening power when the armor was torn apart, the terrifying impact when the spikes cut through the night, all the information was once again running through Sherlock's mind at an incredible speed!

In an instant——————

wrong

inconsistent with the reasoning results

Almost at the same moment, countless possibilities flew past his eyes, some of them good, and some of them bad.

He became more and more silent, more alert, more and more calm.

Finally, at the moment when the first raindrop fell on the long street.

The detective who has been hiding in the shadows has moved!
