Sherlock Holmes

The most beautiful scenery in the world is the morning light, and the most beautiful emotion in the heart is hope.

So at this moment, when the two beauties are superimposed, even the military doctor who always talks about pursuing beauty will be silent and just want to admire it without saying a word.

Therefore, those soldiers all chose to look out, and then as the pale sky gradually brightened and the morning light spread towards the earth, the tired huge body began to speed up the pace slightly, the drooped shoulders straightened up a little, and raised its head. , it began to stagger forward, slowly casting a huge shadow of hope on the surface, disappearing into the more magnificent morning light on the horizon.

A few hours later, at a military base 900 kilometers east of London, more than 400 people gathered around a huge sunken training ground.

In fact, among these people, there are only about 30 real leaders. The rest are all scientific research consultants and demonology experts for various projects brought by them, and even more of them are civilian staff of the base itself. , busy working on the tilted glass observation platform on the upper floor, people kept coming in and out, sending various experimental data, the ringing of the phone and the high-pitched reporting voice almost never stopped.

Although busy, everyone seemed to be in an excited state.

Because judging from these experimental data alone, this experiment of time-honored significance seems to have very good feasibility.

But despite this excitement, everyone still has a little bit of worry hidden in their hearts, because this is not the first time the results of this experiment have been displayed. The data from the last experiment also looked very good, but the result But it was beyond everyone's expectations. Not only did it fail, but it also left the empire's scientific research community without a powerful mentor and leader.

Time passed by, and people in the military base had actually started various preparations since last night. By this time, everything was basically ready. Last night, they also received a call from London saying that the escort convoy was on its way. , expected to arrive this afternoon.

However, the expected time should have passed a long time, but the team that was supposed to appear still did not appear.

There were some very small rustling sounds in the crowd, sounds like picking up a teacup or taking out a pocket watch.

Another half hour passed.

Finally, some comments began to appear

These people are leaders in all walks of life. Of course, they all have good fortunes, but in this case, they are not very willing to show their wealth.

This is already the second demonstration, and the last gathering was very short. The people gathered must know that in such a short period of time, an experiment is unlikely to produce any breakthrough progress, but because of the "Wild Demon" The new field of "controllable" was really attractive, so they still chose to believe in Professor Darwin and the student who took over the experiment after the old professor died.

Moreover, the other party actually published the news of the experiment directly in the Holy Journal this time, which shows how confident this newly established experimental team is.

But if this time it still ends in failure, then all the appeal of this experiment may be lost.

"what time is it?"

An old man wearing a military uniform asked softly to the secretary behind him.

"Reporting to the division commander, 6:15 is almost three hours after the expected time." The secretary checked his watch again and then responded.

The teacher looked a little solemn and put the tea cup on the table in front of him. It made a loud noise and attracted some people's attention.

This time, he traveled a long way from Bollian Parish, canceled his trip to Redeker Channel to attend an important military meeting, and vomited for two whole days on the expedited military airship, just to see this with his own eyes. Experimental results, but the three hours of waiting made him always feel a little uneasy and a little anxious.

"The base has just contacted London. The transport team did set off last night, but the observation posts outside the base still haven't seen the convoy. Is there something wrong on the road?"

The military secretary saw his leader's frown getting deeper and deeper and whispered.

The teacher took another sip of tea without any response, while some people on the sidelines seemed to stand up suddenly and had the urge to leave, but they just straightened their clothes and sat back down.

But everyone knows that these people are just using this method to express their anger and displeasure, but because the military representatives present have not left yet, they still want to see the military's attitude towards this test. , I believe that as long as this military division commander gets up, most people will leave the table.

Although controllable wild demons can bring huge benefits, in the final analysis, this thing must be used in frontline wars first. If even the military shows disappointment with this experiment, then there will be no benefits if it is left behind. meaning.

The waiting time became longer and longer. When it was almost four hours, the secretary finally leaned over and asked: "Commander, do you want to prepare a car?"

The teacher looked at the tea cup that had been refilled countless times and hesitated.

And just then!

"Mr. Lermontov?" a female voice suddenly said.

The teacher looked in the direction of the voice, and then saw a conservatively dressed but very stylish lady who seemed to have just noticed him, with a look of surprise in her eyes.

This woman looks about 30 years old, but due to maintenance problems, she may be 35 years old. She has actually been sitting not far away from her, but because of the seat, she sits slightly in front of her, and Now, maybe after looking back, I saw myself.

"Hello." Lermontov is a soldier, but he also has very good etiquette and education. He nodded to the lady who greeted him, and then asked: "Who are you?"

"I'm just a businessman with no reputation. If Lermontov doesn't mind, you can call me Irene." The lady said with a smile.

Lermontov nodded. Of course he would not think that the person who appeared in this place would be an unknown businessman. This lady might be a representative of a huge economic group. Looking at the other party's beautiful face and Lermontov couldn't help but be in awe of him due to his decent manners and extremely young age. He recalled that when he was his age, he was just a young officer in the military district office.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Lermontov asked.

"It's nothing important, but I didn't expect that I would meet Mr. Lermontov today. I think this may be some hint of the coming of the Holy Light." Irene said with a smile: "Actually, I heard about it a long time ago, On the Redeker Strait front line, there are many steam chariots that were damaged due to combat, but because the damage was too serious, they were no longer worth repairing, right?"

Lermontov hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Indeed."

"Oh, actually I thought, since those things are no longer suitable for repair, how about I buy them back at a low price."

"What!!!" Lermontov was startled and pressed the armrest of the sofa to keep him from standing up.

Military supplies on the front line have always been a huge expense. The number of scrapped tanks, military weapons and other things in the war can be almost astronomical, and the transportation and processing of these scrapped guys is undoubtedly a headache. It’s a difficult problem, and the recycling is even more difficult. I don’t know how many large companies I have to beg with sincerity to get a meager return of funds.

And this lady actually said that she had the intention to recycle those war debris?

If he met someone elsewhere and said something like this, Lermontov would definitely think that the other person was joking, but here, he had to pay attention to what this mysterious woman said.

"Of course!" Lermontov made himself less eager, like an elder, and said calmly: "I don't know, when will Ms. Irene have time to talk?"

"Oh, the escort team from London hasn't arrived yet, I want to wait a little longer."

"Haha, okay, then I'll wait a little longer."

Lermontov responded with a smile, then leaned on the sofa, and then gestured to the secretary behind him with his teacup: "Pour me some more water."

He left in no hurry.

This time, even if we don't see the results of the controlled experiments on wild demons, if we find a path to recover the war debris, even if it only lasts for a few months, it will save a lot of resources for the frontline war.

So he is willing to wait!

So, Lermontov waited quietly like this, and because of his sudden relief, the rest of the people in the room seemed to notice something.

Although I don't know what news the military has received, if the representatives there are willing to wait, then it seems that I can continue to wait.

So, all the people who were about to leave the table just now sat back down because of Irene's light words.

However, no one knows how much this sentence will cost Irene, and Irene's mind does not seem to be on the money.

She didn't know why the escort team hadn't arrived yet, but she relied on her trust in Sherlock Holmes and chose to continue waiting.

That man said that he would succeed, so he would definitely appear here today.

This was the blind confidence she had developed since she met Sherlock for the first time and opened the bottle of wine. Irene believed in her own vision.

Time went like this, and another half hour and another hour passed.

The night is getting darker, and the fading sunlight makes people instinctively miss the warm and comfortable space, soft beds and hot baths. Therefore, even the most patient people have once again developed some irritable moods.

Finally, someone stood up silently and was really ready to leave.

Waiting for a full six hours is enough respect for this experiment.

This person nodded apologetically to the people around him, then stood up with his team, and more than 20 people walked towards the door of the venue. This is equivalent to these people treating this experiment as the most ridiculous farce.

In fact, many people have already sentenced this experiment to lynching.

And just then!

Suddenly, a notification came from a huge loudspeaker above the venue!

"Attention! There is a third-level demon ahead!"

"Attention, a third-order demon was found at about 1,200 meters from the west entrance of Extremely Low!!!"

this moment!

People just feel like their minds are buzzing!

A third-level demon?

This is impossible. How could a third-level demon appear under the holy light? !

Outside the military base, those responsible for patrolling the high walls were also a little confused, so they just reported this and did not immediately apply for fire support. Instead, they focused their searchlights on the huge figure from a distance!

The strong light dispersed the darkness, and those high-intensity coal search facilities were like beams of spotlights, constantly overlapping the figure staggering towards the military base.

As the figure got closer and closer, the people on the high walls of the base gradually widened their eyes.

They were shocked to see that the demon's body was covered with wounds. Blood was flowing from the terrible wounds and had been frozen to dryness in the cold wind. It looked shocking.

And an even more shocking scene is.

A man covered in blood was sitting on the demon's shoulder, holding a cigarette in his mouth and taking a puff from time to time. As he approached the base, he did not forget to apologize to the soldiers holding searchlights on the wall. waved his hand:

"Sorry, I'm late."

And a dozen seconds later, in the training ground inside the military base:

"Report, the Darwin Recovery Plan experimental team has arrived!"

"Repeat, the Darwin Recovery Plan experimental team has arrived!!!"
