Sophia just said casually, but Hilda was stunned.

She wasn't thinking about the relationship between "earth escaping" and "escape", but Sophia's unintentional words made her suddenly realize a very important thing.

She turned on the computer, quickly searched the folder of case clues, and then discovered a fact surprisingly—all the judgment materials about the return of the target mission to the small building, none of them had definite evidence.

"So...that person didn't come back at all???" Sophia was shocked, "Didn't the information say that he came back? Then why did we scout here carefully for a long time?"

Sherlock Holmes still couldn't hold back, and let out a disdainful "heh" from his nostrils: "Didn't your American schools teach it? Then let me teach you the first lesson - those stupid things the police said, one Don't believe a word."

Sophia: ...This teacher is really interesting!

After getting through this joint, the two thoroughly checked all the materials from unknown sources, deleted the content that could not be confirmed as authentic, and only left the verified facts.

"Huh..." Sophia let out a long breath, looking at the stickers covering the entire wall, she had the illusion that helping to write and become as smart as those geniuses.

"Where will the next crime be committed..." Hilda murmured softly.

Hilda stared at the densely packed timeline, map, and list of stolen items for a long time, and suddenly, quickly copied the phone.

"January 1 at 3:11am."

Hilda raised her head abruptly, as if she wanted to say something, but she glanced at Sherlock Holmes, and swallowed her words abruptly:

"Sophia..." Hilda tugged at the hem of her clothes, "Can you help me get a pen first."

"Pen?" Sophia was a little puzzled, "Isn't there one here?"

"On the table in the next room." Hilda hung her head.

"Oh, oh, okay." Sophia didn't think much, got up and walked out of the room.

Watching Sophia close the door, Hilda turned her head and stared at Sherlock Holmes quietly.

"Uncle, can we start?"

----------

"Quick, MOMA, 40 minutes."

When Sophia walked back to the room with a pen, she saw Hilda fully dressed, and seemed to have found the next crime scene.

Sophia didn't ask a word, she put all the equipment spread on the table on her body, pressed a few buttons "snacks", and tucked Hilda under her arm with ease, and rushed out of the room. Sherlock Holmes was left to stare at the empty room in silence.

"Huh... finally reached the top of the building."

Sophia wiped off her sweat, and skillfully wrapped the soft Hilda around the bandage on the front of her stomach.Hilda slowly fastened the fasteners on her elbows and knees one by one, nodded slightly,

"Let's go!!!"

Sophia excitedly spread three pairs of wings, turned into a piece of paper, and flew into the sky.Hilda was attached to Sophia's stomach stupidly, her legs were dangling in the air, and after a long time, she slowly raised her hand to cover her eyes.

"Oh, I forgot!" Sophia was so excited that she forgot that Hilda was different from herself and not very used to flying in the sky.She stretched out her hand, and tightly wrapped it around Hilda's little hand, covering the tall buildings under her feet that made her legs limp.

And then, it's time for real action.

"Go to the exhibition area on the second floor, turn left, and follow my instructions."

"I know, I know, I listen to you, but where do I put you?" Hilda asked.

Hilda paused.In the past, Teacher Peter Parker followed them, and she would stay in the car and do her logistical work in a down-to-earth manner.But now...

Hilda took out her mobile phone, hesitated for a while, and made a call.

Damian was suddenly woken up by the alarm in the middle of the night, wondering if it was the short-sighted person who dared to disturb his sleep, so he picked up the phone gloomily with his head on his head, and after seeing the contact name on it, his expression changed instantly.

"...Hilda." Damian swallowed.

"I remember, you live near MOMA?" Hilda tried to amplify the volume in the strong wind, "Our action, action, needs a car."

Damian rolled out of the bed in a blink of an eye, while turning on the speakerphone, he pulled his sleeves and pulled clothes on his body indiscriminately.

"All right, I'll meet you at the gate." Damian picked up the car keys and rushed out of the room.

Hilda paused, then slowly stuffed the phone back into his pocket.

"Are you on the phone!" Sophia yelled loudly, "Have you got a car?"

"Well, at the main entrance."

"Okay! Okay!!!" Sophia was finally relieved, leaned over, and glided down close to the Empire State Building, with the tips of her wings passing through the clear and bright glass.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, New York is like a behemoth that has not yet awakened, dormant in the faint morning light.Shuttle among countless high-rise buildings, the cool air brushes the tip of the nose, carrying the smell of wind and rain.

After putting Hilda firmly on the side of the road, Sophia didn't care about scolding the unexpected Damian, so she gave him a bitter look, turned her head and rushed into the art gallery.

In the car, the two of Hilda are experiencing a somewhat embarrassing 5 minutes that will be deeply remembered in the journey of their lives.

"...Hilda, what the hell are you doing...something?" Damian tried hard to soften everything, but he couldn't think of a good word.

"Winter vacation mission." Hilda said softly while typing on the keyboard.

"......Um."

Damian gritted his teeth and racked his brains for a long time, but he still couldn't find any hellish topics to talk about.

"Damian!"

While Damian was still wandering, suddenly, a soft hand grabbed his cuff.

"What's wrong!" He tried his best not to throw that hand out, and replied tremblingly.

"Damian! You, hurry up!" Hilda didn't even look at him, her eyes glued to the screen anxiously.

Damian eased his turbulent mood and looked at the screen pretending to be calm, but this time he also frowned.

"What is this retarded man doing?!" Damian couldn't help cursing as he looked at the red alerts all over the screen.

"It's not Sophia, it's him!" Hilda raised her head, and the blue light reflected from the screen reflected in her crystal pupils, which made her look a little weird.

Damian froze for a moment: "Who? Who is it?"

But before he could react, there was a loud explosion in his ears. The sound was really... too loud, too loud to describe, and it almost seemed a bit silent.The overwhelming darkness enveloped his vision for an instant, and the unpleasant smell of debris and blood entered his nostrils.Time seemed to stand still.After a long wait, all the hustle and bustle returned to silence, only the psychedelic sound of electric current "sizzling" lingering in the ears, shaking the brain to buzz.

At the critical moment, Damian instinctively held Hilda tightly in his arms.

"you......"

In a trance hallucination, Damian struggled to open his eyes, trying to see the girl in his arms clearly.

But before he had time to see if his girl was afraid or injured, the severe pain from his neck pulled him into complete darkness again.

--------

"Have you caught it?"

"Isn't this here..."

"That kid is..."

The chaotic and complicated sounds seemed to come from far, far away.Sophia felt as if her head had been slashed several times, the left side also hurt, and the right side also hurt.

She wanted to open her eyes, but somehow, she didn't do so.And this decision turned out to be very correct in the end, because the people guarding her were obviously big mouths.

"How to deal with this kid and that woman?"

"I don't know..." Another voice was a little helpless, "The employer who was spending too much money told us to arrest the little girl, but I didn't expect that there would be more troubles like this, otherwise... ...just let it go?"

"Fart your mother!" The other man spat, "That idiot. Forced the rich man to pay so much money and let us come to this shabby place to pick him up? I don't believe it! Be careful that he will trouble us again later, It’s better to deal with these two together!”

"They made it very clear that you only need that one, don't want the rest, and you only need to go to the art gallery to pick them up at a fixed time. There are as many twists and turns as you think... And, That man also looks very gentle, and he won't make trouble."

"You're such an idiot to come in! Just the explosion just now, did you see clearly? His grandma's tons of bombs have passed, who the hell do you think set it?"

"You mean..." The man took a breath.

"Nonsense! He didn't let him go, and he has something to do with it! Otherwise, how would he know when we should pick him up?" The rather rude man lifted Sophia on his shoulders, "I've already said , this business is a damn strange business, if I know that that person has something to do with this goddamn explosion, I won’t do it for any amount of money!!!”

"Then what should we do now..." The other person's tone weakened significantly.

"What else can we do? Waiting for that ruthless person to fry us together with fur? Don't blame us for being ruthless, these two children. They don't have this life, but my mother will die. After the matter is settled, Don't ask for money, pack up and get out!"

The strong man seemed to have stepped on a puddle and staggered. Sophia felt that her internal organs were about to be knocked out of her mouth.

The two chattered for a long time, and Sophia tried her best to capture every detail, and roughly pieced together the whole story.

The "Grey Eagle" they are investigating is just a cover or has some relationship with the murderer behind the scenes. In short, the current matter has nothing to do with him.The person that the unknown murderer wanted to arrest was probably Hilda, and Damian and herself, who were suspected of being arrested, were not the target of that person.

Those two people probably gave them anesthesia, but for Sophia, the effect of that little thing was naturally too weak.

Just when Sophia felt that she probably couldn't hear any effective information from those two people, and was about to make a move, a sharp sound of breaking through the air interrupted her movements.
