Sherlock Holmes

The dark curtain above the head blocks the sun, but there is still some thin light shining on the white snow, and through reflection, it gives the deep pit good visibility, so people can clearly see the thinly dressed old man standing there. He was sitting on the rock with his body hunched and his head hanging down. His body was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the top of his hair was bent by the snow. He didn't know how long he had been sitting here.

So why did he take such a long break?

Why doesn't he leave here?

Combined with the extremely terrifying traces of battle around them, some search and rescue personnel subconsciously thought of the worst possibility. For a moment, their hearts stopped. No one spoke or even moved. They just watched from a distance, searching and rescuing. The first duty of the personnel after finding the victim is to determine as soon as possible whether the target is still alive, but at this time, no one dared to step forward to help the old man up and wrap him in a thermal blanket, let alone try. Test his breath, his pulse.

Just after a few seconds, a search and rescue worker finally came to his senses. He quickly ran towards the center of the pit and fell twice in panic. When he finally came to the old man's side, his whole mind They were all blank. Just relying on the subconscious behavior of years of work, I took off my gloves and put my fingers on the old man's neck.

The fingertips touched the skin. In an instant, the cold rock-like touch spread directly along the fingers to the Tianling Gai. It didn't require too much professional knowledge to know how anyone could survive at this body temperature. .

The moment this idea came to his mind, the man felt that his legs were weak and he was about to fall to the ground.

But at this moment, an old and cold hand suddenly reached forward and gently supported him. The search and rescue personnel only felt that they were being held up by a towering tree for an instant, even if it was a big tree right now. If an avalanche occurs above your head, there is no chance of you falling down.

He raised his head in disbelief and looked at the old man who opened his eyes slightly, and his messy breathing suddenly stopped.

He just looked at the other party and smiled weakly at him, and then said softly: "My old arms and legs are a little unable to walk, so I'm causing you trouble."

The man didn't know what happened, but when he saw the statue that he could usually only see in Victory Square in the city, actually appeared in front of his eyes, he felt his heart surge for a moment, and for no reason he felt like he was filled with tears and wanted to kneel down. However, he knew very well what was most important now. He quickly waved his hands to his teammates who were still stunned in the distance. An excited shout echoed in the valley: "Master Dante is still here." Live!”

Well, Mr. Dante is still alive. A large number of ambulance personnel rushed over. Carrying the most professional equipment, the mountain stretcher slowly rose. The old man was lying on it calmly, and the oxygen mask was clasped around him. He was so cold that he had nothing to do. Bloody face.

People seem to have forgotten that the target of the search this time should actually be the man named Sherlock.

The search and rescue personnel definitely didn't know why this new Dark Portal appeared, let alone whether Sherlock and Lord Dante were the instigators of this battle. They were very professional and didn't ask any questions, let alone Think more.

During the process of transporting Lord Dante to the airship, some people found another body in the deep pit where Dante was found. It was buried under gravel and snow, and the place was deep in the rock. It was as if a huge force had forced it into the mountain to a depth of nearly one meter.

Sherlock. The former wanted criminal in the empire.

Many people still remember this face, and think of all the rumors about him before, and countless ridiculous or sad emotions suddenly bring people back to the empire-wide wanted manhunt more than two years ago, and The dark time when a human hero fell into a criminal state.

And now, this man is dead, and he died next to Lord Dante. Countless speculations appeared uncontrollably in everyone's heart, but no one said a word. Everyone carried the body to the airship in silence, and then Tell the search and rescue team that the mission target has been found and they can return.

The airship passed through the clouds and headed towards the nearest administrative district. The sunlight could already pass through the window, but it was blocked by thick curtains. In the dim room, the most advanced medical equipment made a soft sound from time to time. Outside the window, the airship turbine It still seemed clear amidst the buzzing.

On the hospital bed, Lord Dante was lying quietly. He closed his eyes, and the cold bluish-white color on his face still did not dissipate. His body, which had not had any effect at lower temperatures, could clearly feel it at this moment. The cold air wafting out from the gaps in the bones was like thousands of hard, cold thumbtacks driven into the bone marrow.

The old man's face was calm, and he didn't know if he had to admit that he was getting old after all, and that his body's functions had dropped to a dangerous level. Was he thinking that if the search and rescue team arrived a few days later, he would really Die in this ice and snow.

Getting old is a very painful thing. The limbs are no longer able to support oneself, and one can only let the injuries and pain slowly torture oneself, and then wait for the arrival of death in pain. Lord Dante has never experienced this before. He had thought that one day he would be so weak, but he, who had always liked to consider himself an 'ordinary person', did not feel too sad at this time, just like all the old people lying on the hospital bed.

Until the door of the room opened gently, and then closed gently, a series of unhurried footsteps slowly came to the bed.

The old man opened his eyes, saw the beautiful face that often appeared in newspapers in the past few years, and smiled happily.

This smile is very complicated, a bit like the peaceful smile of the old man when he saw his granddaughter before he died. However, under ordinary people's perception, Lord Dante and Nightingale should not have much intersection.

Moreover, since Nightingale is here, Lord Dante will definitely not die. Even if he does suffer from frostbite and necrosis all over his body from staying in the ice and snow, he can recover quickly as long as Nightingale is here.

However, in this temporary ward with only two people, everything is not as normal people think.

It stands to reason that the moment the two met, the sacred woman who had treated thousands of people in her life should immediately treat the old man who saved the world.

But the atmosphere in the room at this moment was silent, and could even be said to be extremely cold.

Nightingale looked at Lord Dante on the bed motionless, and suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with this situation.

"Did you kill my parents?"
