Sherlock Holmes

Being overly cautious is not a good character, but respecting your opponent is a good habit. There is no conflict between the two.

There is actually no reason for Shylock's caution. He just feels that people like Emperor Augustine should be more perfect. Although what he is doing now is already perfect, from all angles, he is firmly suppressed. After removing all the factors that are unfavorable to it, it can wait for the castling ceremony to crush its competitors, and then it can skyrocket.

But he failed to make his opponent despair.

Soul visualization device.

This glimmer of hope is still firmly in his hands, and after meeting Mrs. Hudson tonight, the handwritten letter from decades ago has expanded this hope. .

Although this hope came from sitting on that machine, working day and night, and from Mrs. Hudson's identity, it might even have some inexplicable meaning of the Holy Light mixed into it.

But Emperor Augustine should have been able to do better.

Sherlock actually didn't know. Maybe the emperor was really old. When his life was about to come to an end, he no longer had the energy to make changes, but Sherlock just felt...

Be cautious first, then be more cautious

After meeting [Crimson], he felt a little more at ease. Everyone is equal in the face of time. He didn't know what moves his opponent would prepare. However, he was responsible for data during the day and establishing a contract with Crimson at night. He was already incredibly fast. If the speed is doubled, then there should be some effect.

"Then please extend the soul line collection device here." Sherlock said to Professor George and prepared to leave.

But just when he turned his head, his sight seemed to see the other end of the vast open space, which was also covered with a similar curtain.

"What's over there?" he asked doubtfully.

"Oh, it's Hopkins' Demon. It was originally in transit when the factory was being built. The airship encountered cloudy weather on the way, which delayed a lot of time. It only arrived yesterday."

Sherlock was slightly silent, looking at the huge curtain at the end of the hundred meters, and smiled after a while.

A third-order great demon, supplemented by another third-level great demon. This configuration is the same as when Professor Darwin conducted the control experiment.

When I think about the recruitment of personnel, the construction of the factory, so many consumables, and the confidentiality measures, that boy Moriarty has really spent a lot of money.

Morning came as usual, and the factory area was restored a full seven or eight hours ahead of schedule. When the dew had just set, all the scientific researchers put on their work clothes again and went to their respective posts.

However, these people did not complain about missing half a day of vacation. Instead, they were extremely excited.

In the final analysis, those who engage in scientific research are just looking for a posthumous reputation, so the experiment they are participating in now is undoubtedly the one with the greatest fame and fortune in the world. Especially at this moment, the original delusion has turned into a clear hope, so these guys Let alone rest time, even if you use stimulants as water every day or make rice with chicken blood, you won't be wrong at all.

However, after a whole morning of work, this group of people seemed to find that they were not the only ones who had been injected with chicken blood. The team of testers responsible for data output seemed to have also been injected with chicken blood! And it’s high-concentration refined chicken blood!

Originally, the efficiency of that team had reached an incredible level, but unexpectedly, today's efficiency actually increased by a full 6 hours.

That’s right, another 6 hours faster! !

The batch that originally took at least 10 hours to complete was completed in just four hours, leaving only a bunch of data sources that were too late to make preliminary summaries. The cognition of all the staff was constantly being scrubbed. In fact, if it weren't for that little The area of ​​the factory is really small, and some people will definitely think that there is a reinforced company of testers stationed inside that wall, working day and night.

Of course Sherlock didn't know what a terrible shock he had given the group of people in the factory by completing today's work ahead of schedule. Now, he was just walking alone in a corridor on the edge of the factory, and after turning a few corners , a door appeared at the end of the corridor, and Hopkins was already leaning against the wall. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Sherlock coming, extremely complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

"I'm not surprised that you want to get in touch with the third-order big devil now. After all, you are a monster, but if you tell me that you have accelerated your soul line matching efficiency by 6 hours, then I will curse you! "

His tone was serious, as if he could really curse.

But Sherlock just smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, how can I improve by 6 hours?"

Hopkins finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"I improved it by 16 hours, and I'm even ready for tomorrow, so you get up early tomorrow."

After hearing this, Hopkins stood stunned for a few seconds, then rubbed his face with an extremely heavy expression, and finally choked out two words:

"All right."

He didn't curse because the guy standing in front of him was most likely not a human being.

He could only crush his knowledge into dregs again, throw it on the ground and step on it, and finally put on a look of acceptance and smiled disdainfully.

What else can I do? This guy is like this every time. He throws out a shocking thing out of the blue, without caring whether the person who hears it can accept it or not.

The door was slowly pushed open, and on the other side of the door was the huge space where [Crimson] was displayed. Curly wind penetrated the crack of the door, blowing the hair of the two people in front of the door.

"When we first planned the experimental factory area, I knew that you would definitely want to try to establish a contractual relationship with the third-order demon, so the Holy See transferred my demon here in the name of going out to perform a mission."

Hopkins was walking in the wide open space while following Sherlock. It was probably because the topic involved the third-level demon, so his expression seemed much more relaxed. After all, Sherlock was only a second-level contract. The author, in this regard, has the absolute right to speak:

"You are only a second-stage contractor, so you may not know that in the third stage, if a contractor wants to increase the compatibility with his own demon, the fastest way is to fight.

Feeling your own demon's behavior, habits, smoothness of movements, and feedback when injured during battle are all efficient ways to increase compatibility.

Therefore, in most cases, the contractors on the front line are more combat-effective than the clergy stationed in the empire's restoration. After all, they have been trained through countless lives and deaths.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as people like me. Although I have never been on the battlefield, in the combat evaluation of the Tribunal, my level is no worse than those veterans who have been on the front line for more than ten years. .

I don't know if I have told you that I am actually a genius in the field of contractors. "

Finally able to show his strength in front of Sherlock, Hopkins felt that he had some confidence to speak:

"At the third stage, the strength of the contractors basically depends on the difference between their demons. After all, no matter how powerful humans are, they cannot compare with a third-level demon.

Oh, that’s not absolute.

Just like the former frontline officer named Baskerville.

Judging from the available information of the Tribunal, his own combat power has reached the level of a wild third-level demon.

He is indeed a freak that even Lord Dante praised personally.

It's really hard to imagine what would happen if a blind guy provoked such a person.

I guess there is only one way to die."
