Sherlock Holmes

And with this touch of fishy sweetness, more fishy sweetness began to spread in the throat.

Baskerville calmly swallowed the blood, feeling the remaining pain on his chest and the aftereffect of the opponent's force that had just passed through his bones and vibrated firmly between his heart and lungs.

His eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter until his forehead ached.

As I said before, Commander Baskerville has a very weird character. He doesn't quite understand the emotion of pity and doesn't have much sympathy. This may be innate, or it may be after he saw his parents being eaten alive when he was a child. , leaving some psychological problems that are not easy to treat.

In short, he spared no effort the moment he took action, because only in the most devastating way can the opponent feel the crushing feeling of despair.

However, he could never figure out why the other party could block his punches and dodge his attacks. In the last fight, why the other party was able to strike first and attack his body in advance.

At that time, I was attacking the opponent's throat, but the target chosen by the private detective was my own chest.

This is too bold. Isn't he afraid of death?

The fragile bone in the throat is not wrapped by any muscles. Due to human physiological structure, it is impossible for that area to be exercised. Moreover, behind it is the even more fragile esophagus and trachea. It can be said that it can be broken with one blow. die!

And at least his chest is protected by muscles!

This also means that the other party has absolute confidence that he is faster than himself and more powerful!

But he is a second-stage contractor? !

Baskerville couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. He hadn't come back from the front line for several years. When did such a guy come out of the empire? !

In fact, it was normal that he couldn't figure it out. After all, Sherlock's body couldn't be explained by normal understanding of the contractor.

The body of a normal contractor slowly improves through its compatibility with the devil, so Moran said that by the third stage, the body of the contractor will not be much different.

Baskerville can be recognized by Lord Dante because of his amazing strength and talent, so he can surpass ordinary contractors and gain extraordinarily strong physical fitness.

In fact, he is one of the few people in the world who can fight against the third-order great demon with the strength of the contractor himself.

Even Moran, who was also called a genius, was unable to do this. This shows that there is a gap between geniuses.

What about Sherlock?

How could he have evened with Baskerville at a second-stage level, and even had the upper hand in the final blow?

It's because his body is not strengthened by contracted creatures at all.

He relies on extremely rough. Suck!

Yes, in hell, those entrenched black tentacles penetrate into the bodies of other demons, and then suck them in as if sucking nutrients!

He even absorbed a peak second-level demon when he was moving towards the second stage!

But now, the whole of London is under his control, and the territory is very large. Who knows where those tentacles caught a demon in the corner, and then squatted and sucked it.

And now, with the help of the Distorted Sun, Sherlock has created an additional anchor point of hell, so he once again has a territory to be developed in the Academy of Life Sciences. Now, he doesn't know how many demons will become his. nourishment.

Such a terrifying and tough way of absorbing gave him a physical foundation equivalent to a strong person in the third stage at the second stage.

Coupled with his super reaction ability and the ability to think that can almost surpass subconscious reactions, Sherlock now has the strength to go toe-to-toe with a scary guy like Commander Baskerville!

Moreover, he also won the battle!

Of course, this does not mean that he is more powerful than Baskerville, because the other party is not only an individually powerful symbiotic contractor, but also an extremely powerful manipulative contractor. He even controls The devil's ability is stronger than the body, otherwise, his contracted devil would not be called the "Hound of the Baskervilles".

But even so, this guy named Sherlock is really shocking.

…

The Academy of Life Sciences is an institution that specializes in demon research. The demon laboratories here are of various types and complexity, and researchers deal with strange demons all day long.

So most people are no strangers to contractors.

The surrounding eyes had gradually lost their shock, and they began to look over one after another. Some of them could not understand, thinking that this might be just a conflict between two ordinary contractors, but some people were able to taste the danger of that moment, so He still felt his heart beating wildly and his face turned pale, but more importantly, everyone saw Miss Catherine, and they all began to speculate and discuss, who was the man in the long trench coat standing next to him?

At another street intersection, Catherine was still trotting while dragging Sherlock, as if she was afraid that the terrifying commander would catch up again. Fortunately, they met a carriage on the side of the road. Catherine immediately stopped it and pushed Sherlock into it. Then he anxiously named a certain location.

The coachman turned around in surprise and looked inside through the carriage window. The coachman, who had worked at the Academy of Life Sciences for decades, of course knew whose mansion that location was, so he looked at the lady behind him. He guessed the other party's identity in his heart, so he dared to neglect. He quickly waved his long whip and drove quickly towards the destination.

In the carriage, Catherine looked extremely anxious. He groped Sherlock's body up and down, but did not dare to use force for fear of touching a broken bone. She also looked at the palm of her hand from time to time, fearing that there would be a bright red patch on it. Blood.

"How are you! Do you want to go to the hospital?" Her voice was trembling.

"No need, it's just." At this point, Sherlock seemed to have touched a bruise on his body. Sherlock frowned in pain: "Hey, this bastard is so cruel! I thought he was just testing it, and he wouldn't be able to do it if he came up." Use all your strength?!"

When Catherine heard this, the worry on her face gradually turned into the shock she should have had!

It should have been like this, after all, the man in front of him survived under the commander who was famous for his bloodthirsty.

And judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be seriously injured.

But when she heard the word 'full force', the shock in Catherine's eyes seemed to be that she suddenly couldn't bear some violent expansion, and it exploded, making her head buzz!

At this moment she finally remembered something.

Recalling the extremely dangerous scene from the previous moment, she just stood aside and watched, and she already felt the air surge in her chest, her breathing was unsteady, and her face turned pale. As a former cleric, she only realized it later. He realized how terrifying the destructive power was hidden in the exploding wind and waves and under the flying rubble.

At this moment, she had no idea what to say and could only sit motionless.

Their conversation was overheard by the coachman in front of the carriage, who thought that the two men had just had a fight with a drunken person on the street. This kind of thing often happens in nearby streets:

"Miss, are we still going to the hospital?"

Catherine suddenly came to her senses, looked at the man in front of her who was rubbing his shoulders, and said, "No need."

The night passed like this, and the battle under the street lamp did not cause any disturbance. However, the next day, some road maintenance personnel came over, repaired the broken ground, and then left. The dangerous battle of life and death at night , in the eyes of most people, it is actually just a moment of intersection, not as attractive as sawing open a demon's head in the laboratory, so after a few hours, no one remembers it anymore.

As for Mr. Baskerville, even though he has a bad personality, he could come up with the idea of ​​killing people on the street in a place like the Academy of Life Sciences with just a few words, and in front of the daughter of the old dean of the Academy of Life Sciences.

It can be seen that there is something wrong with this person's mind.

But fortunately, this man was not a petty guy, so he did not make a big fuss about this matter. Instead, he seemed extremely quiet. Few people even knew that a frontline commander had arrived at the Academy of Sciences.

Moreover, there was no further progress in his desire to reclaim his contracted demon.

The days seem to have finally gotten a little quieter.

During these quiet days, Sherlock's investigation of the case went very smoothly. In addition to him, the other four candidates also showed their terrifying strength. There was even a guy from the Imperial Procuratorate who was investigating the case. , Hao Xuan came up with the formula for the sacrificial potion newly developed by the Academy of Sciences. Fortunately, he stopped in time, otherwise he might have been taken to the Supreme Tribunal and sent to the blood prison.

According to the process formulated by Catherine, the five selected investigators will have a gathering in a few days to summarize the clues obtained during this period. Although she does not understand the process of case investigation, she can get the results from this link. Sherlock's praise.

Because if he was allowed to get together with the guys from several other detective agencies in downtown London, he would definitely be opposed to it, but if he was allowed to get together with a few other extremely professional people to talk about the case, then of course he would be happy to do so. .

During this period, in addition to investigating the case, Sherlock's new anchor point set up in the School of Life Sciences also began to operate as scheduled. In fact, it is an anchor point, and its main function is that after he goes to bed now, he will not wake up in London, but I woke up directly on my red patent leather sofa.

As for those small tentacles, they are also working very hard to expand their territory.

Nowadays, the tentacles are no longer the frail little guys before. After gaining the ability to absorb other demons, they have become vigorous and vigorous one by one, supporting the sky. In reality, the Academy of Life Sciences has been engaged in the anatomy of demons and various experiments for a long time. , may also have had some influence on the hell plane. Probably the demons in hell think this place is too evil, and none of them are very courageous. Most of them gather together, and usually they don’t even dare to open the cracks in the void. He didn't even dare to dig out for fear of being caught.

This makes those little tentacles expand faster! Within a few days, it had occupied all the surrounding residential areas and rushed towards the test area with an unstoppable momentum.

Of course, due to the movement of the anchor point, the black tide within London also began to slowly surge along the edge of the city. Judging from this posture, it wanted to merge with the territory of the Academy of Life Sciences.

Sherlock was very satisfied with the attitude of his employees who were still working diligently even though the boss was on a business trip.

Also, when Sherlock was alone, he deliberately took out the line segment diagram obtained from the last soul visualization experiment. He looked at the gas lamp carefully for a long time, and finally confirmed Yes, the two lines above overlap.

It's just that because of the proportion of ink, the 'red' and 'blue' are blended together perfectly, making the color look a little darker, like a black line.

Sherlock didn't know what this completely overlapping line meant, or whether it was a good phenomenon.

But for the time being, it seems that everything is still developing in a good direction.

Until this morning, Catherine and Sherlock came to the experimental area and wanted to try the [Soul Visualization Device] again. They saw a group of people surrounding the door, and in front of the door, a man holding a huge spray gun , a huge steel seal is being welded to the door.
