In the ward, Du Ruoying stood beside William, silently browsing the news on the phone.Now and then her eyes flicked to Sherlock, and now and then to William.

"The doctor said." William turned a page of the book in his hand, "They have been swimming in the icy sea for too long, their energy supply has not kept up, and their physical strength has been exhausted, so they passed out and took a nutrition injection for a while. You can wake up, don't worry too much."

Du Ruoying immediately withdrew her coveted gaze: "I... I'm not worried!"

"Oh?" He narrowed his eyes meaningfully.

"Why?" She said alertly, "No way, do you really think I will believe your nonsense? You said he is Holmes, but he is Holmes? What if his real identity is Moran?"

"It turns out that classmate Xiaoying is worried about this." William smiled knowingly.

"Of course, can you not worry?" Du Ruoying gave him a wronged look.

Moriarty risked his life to save Holmes, how could such a thing happen in this world!She can't take it.

"You may not believe it when you say it," William closed the small golden-covered book in his hand, which was a missionary book that a strange aunt had forced into him before, "When I saw Xia Li, I felt so deeply from the bottom of my heart. Delighted—even though he messed up my plans, too."

"...Do you know that you sound contradictory?"

"I know." The golden eyelashes drooped suddenly, as if watching some distant phantom, "I still remember when I first met you, you asked—why it was me and why not Holmes. In fact, I also I often wonder why the sinful self has the chance to be born again? What is the person who resurrected me planning?

"It is said that your country has a cultural tradition of pursuing eternal life, but living is not always the same as a reward, especially in such a vile game rule." His voice was very soft, as if talking to himself, "Unbreakable loneliness , endless wandering, endless atonement... In fact, in many religious concepts, living itself is a punishment."

Of course Du Ruoying knew what he was referring to. From between his fingers, she saw the words on the cover of the missionary book:

"Those who receive the inexhaustible body will never die. Longevity is the catastrophe of the inexhaustible hell."

Endless hell, that is——

"There is no time, no life, no suffering." [1]

It is the cruelest of the eight hells, and only the heinous felons will be condemned to fall there. In the endless hell, sinners will never see the hope of liberation.

"But Xia Li appeared, and the situation of the young man next to him should be the same as yours, a player bound by the system." William continued, "This makes me feel that the resurrection may not be what I thought. So bad."

"Please think a little worse, thank you..." Du Ruoying groaned.

Although she refused to forgive him, she suddenly felt some sympathy for him in her heart.To be honest, she never thought that he would look at the resurrection this way.

The punishment of "Infernal Hell" is too harsh.

However, she still has doubts about the authenticity of this statement, given his acting ability is so strong.Maybe he said this from the bottom of his heart, but it was more likely—he just wanted to brainwash her, so that she would believe that the strange man he rescued was Holmes himself.

If you want to fool Miss Ben, you need to rely on bitter scenes alone. Whether this "Sherlock Holmes" is real or not, you still have to verify it yourself.

Du Ruoying's heart moved, and she suddenly had an idea.

"Are you hungry? I brought something to eat." She handed over an insulated lunch box.

William opened it and saw that half of it was Bazhen tofu, half was shredded scallops, and there was a layer of rice underneath.The food is still hot, as if freshly baked.

He noticed that she had brought three other lunch boxes of the same size, but they were not for him.

"Is Officer Du also in this hospital?" William asked.

"Yeah, I just delivered the meal together." She patted the three lunch boxes and said, "By the way, I browsed the news all morning, and found that there was no mention of the shootout last night."

"That's no wonder," he said indifferently, "Because you made a warning in advance, all members of the organization escaped the pursuit, and the police investigation needs to continue. Since the case has not progressed, it is naturally the most appropriate to deal with it at the confidential stage."

"So that's the case," she nodded, "But, do you think that organization will come back to trouble us? After all, we have exposed its den."

"Don't worry about it for the time being," William said, "For this situation, I have prepared another negotiation plan, and Bai Qirun must have already discussed it with them."

"What kind of negotiation plan is so awesome?"

"Well," William smiled mysteriously, "let's eat first, it won't taste good if it gets cold." He started to use his chopsticks. .seven

Under the lure of the smell of rice, Sherlock slowly opened his eyes.Before his sight was clear again, a panicked cry suddenly came from his ear: "It's not good, Sherlock! Watson—"

He suddenly sat up from the hospital bed, and saw a flustered girl standing in the direction of the voice. She opened a pair of dark pupils and looked as docile as a deer.

Obviously, she was the one who yelled that sentence just now.

"Hey, Lian," Sherlock turned to William blankly, "Who is this stupid liar?"

William on the side laughed softly: "It's not good to say that, Xia Li, classmate Xiaoying is your loyal fan."

But Du Ruoying was not angry. In fact, she wanted to use this lie to test him, to see how he would react.

"How do you know I'm lying?" she pressed.

"Huh? It's obvious, right?" Sherlock said impatiently, "Your facial expression is tense, your hands are relaxed, your voice is loud, but your breathing is steady. These contradictory details can explain—you're just pretending to be flustered." .”

"Oh my god..." Du Ruoying covered her mouth in surprise, "It's the real Sherlock!" She rushed forward and hugged him, almost strangling him to pieces.

"Hey, it hurts, it hurts!" Sherlock struggled in pain.

Du Ruoying quickly let go: "I'm sorry, I'm...I'm so excited."

Not to mention that she suddenly saw the idol she had admired for many years, and more importantly, now that someone has finally come to take care of William, a serious problem in her heart, it is no wonder that she is not excited when the days of suffering and suffering are coming to an end.

"Now are you sure?" William asked Du Ruoying.

She nodded with tears in her eyes: "Well, I'm sure, Moran and the others can't be so smart."

"...If you say that to Moran, he will be sad."

"It seems," Sherlock's eyes returned to clarity and sharpness, "You have also encountered that thing called the 'resurrection system', Lian. Also, is this stupid girl your teammate?"

Before William could speak, Du Ruoying nodded frantically.

The two in front of me are indeed a group of high IQs, and their reasoning ability is as reliable as if they had read a spoiler script in advance, which saved her thousands of words of pre-prepared commentary.

"Xia Li, don't call others that, it's too impolite." William said softly, "Let me introduce you formally, this is Du Ruoying, you can call her Xiaoying—"

"Oh, it doesn't look very smart..." Sherlock smacked his lips contemptuously.

However, Du Ruoying was not irritated by his sarcasm at all, rather, his sarcasm was within her expectation at all——

Thanks to "Detective Sherlock", she has already been fully prepared for Sherlock's low EQ speech.

"As for this one," William pointed his palm at Sherlock and looked at Du Ruoying, the smile on his face was suddenly bright and chilling, "Student Xiaoying, he is the one you have been thinking about for a long time, with a high IQ and anti-social personality, Someone who knows nothing about astronomy and has a history of serious drug addiction—Mr. Sherlock Holmes~”

"Hey, what's the matter with this bunch of unnecessary attributives?" Sherlock suddenly felt something was wrong.

"It's okay, I understand all of this." Du Ruoying said attentively, "A high IQ will inevitably lead to anti-social behavior. If you don't understand astronomy, you want your brain to hold more useful knowledge. Addiction to drugs can only be blamed on the boring world and the abundance of brain power. People who have to find a place to vent—”

"You...don't need to explain to me..." Sherlock hurriedly stopped.

It would have hurt enough for William to say it, but she actually repeated it in a different way, as if highlighting the key points in his black history!

Seeing that he wasn't willing to listen, Du Ruoying quickly stopped talking, she nodded obediently, and she almost had the words "I'll listen to you" written all over her face.

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that William's eccentric introduction to each other was nothing more than trying to spoil her goodwill towards Sherlock.

Only a fool would fall for such a low-level scheme to sow discord!

She is not fooled, a little bit~

But there was one thing she still didn't quite understand—why did Holmes and Moriarty seem to have a good relationship?Logically speaking, shouldn't they meet and fight, continuing their unfinished duel in Reichenbach?Why is it a scene of talking and laughing and harmony now?

Is it...

Is it the type of old enemy who loves and kills each other?

That's it, she understood!They are friendly on the surface, but their hearts are already tense. When the critical moment comes, they will definitely meet each other.The reason why I have not turned my face until now is just because now is not the best time to turn my face, that's all.People with high IQs must be far more foresight than mediocre people like her.

Well, it must be so!

"As expected of Mr. Holmes, the big brother's realm is different. He pretends to be so childish on the surface, but he is actually thinking about the overall situation in the future!"

The more Du Ruoying thought about it, the more she felt admiration, but William had already silently cast her a contemptuous look.

"Ah, classmate Li Heiquan is also awake." She suddenly realized.

The young man gave her a speechless look: "Who the hell is Li Heigou, my name is Li Mo!"

"No... I'm sorry, Li Mo." Du Ruoying quickly apologized.Thinking back to the test papers in the waterproof document bag of his schoolbag, she realized that she had misread the name earlier.

However, this junior's handwriting is too open...

"By the way, how far have you been on your mission?" William continued to chat with Sherlock.

Hearing the word "task", Sherlock frowned in distress: "I just finished task one. How about you, two or three?"

"It's five."

"What..." Both Sherlock and Li Mo's eyes widened in astonishment.

"What is the content of your mission one? There is a case on the island."

"Well, almost." Sherlock scratched his head anxiously, "By the way, I remember you also smoke, can you give me a few, I haven't smoked for many days."

"No smoking in the hospital, Xia Li."

"Then I'll get it if I go out." Sherlock pulled out the needle and stretched out his hand to William, "Don't talk nonsense, just give me one."

"To tell you the truth, I actually quit smoking recently."

"what?!"

"I'm currently working in Xiaoying's school. Whether it's an office or a place to eat, there are no-smoking areas everywhere. Slowly, I'm used to not smoking." William said, "I advise you to stop smoking." Smoke a little, it’s not good to be too dependent on nicotine, Xia Li.”

Hearing this, Sherlock almost went crazy: "Why are you like this—"

Before he could complain, Du Ruoying suddenly handed over an unopened box of cigarettes, with a brand new lighter attached.She blinked at him with a flattering expression: "It's a new one."

"Oh." Sherlock froze.

Considering that Sherlock might not have used this kind of lighter before, Du Ruoying thoughtfully demonstrated how to use it again.

"Well, I see, thanks!" Sherlock took the cigarette and lighter, and shook William happily, "Hey, Lian, your teammate is really good." Then he quickly slipped out of the ward.

Du Ruoying watched Sherlock go out, feeling elation in her heart. She never expected that with such a trivial bribe, she could completely change the idol's impression of her. It is indeed wise to make two preparations in advance.

"You dote on him too much, classmate Xiaoying." William said with a helpless smile.

"That's a matter of course. After all, it will be hard for him to replace me," Du Ruoying said, "I'll go back and clean up my bedroom for him to live in. From now on, monitor your work You can leave it to him with confidence."

"What?" The smile on William's face suddenly stopped.

"Why, you already have an old enemy to play with you, is it possible that you still want to continue to bully me, an ordinary person? Isn't that too shameful?" She said, "But don't worry, I will continue to help you with your mission made."

Of course, it depends on how Sherlock plans to arrange her.

If he allowed her to continue, she would of course continue; but if Sherlock secretly told her to trip William, she would certainly be obliged.

"I see." William raised the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, "It seems that if I don't deal with Xia Li first, I won't be able to deal with you, can I?"
