Maybe it's because you have been silent for a longer period of time than usual, and the detective took the initiative to take a look at you for the first time.

In the past, you followed him step by step, and never had any objection to his arrangements.

Now your long silence makes him wonder if his strategy is wrong.Your reaction has always been under his control, but it doesn't seem to be.

Thanks to you, his susceptibility period is almost over.

For some reason, a feeling of loss suddenly rose in my heart.

You both have something on your mind.Unlike him, you are thinking about whether what the system says is true or not.

You have been pushed away by the system all the time, first you were coaxed by TA to accept the rules of this world (also desperate, you have nowhere to go), all important characters either love you or want to kill you in the name of love.Now this kind of standard game task system suddenly appeared again, the award [Return to the original world] is really exciting, but... you still feel that something is wrong.

As if the system couldn't wait any longer, it directly started the task countdown.

"You said I will die if I don't do the task? ’ You start talking to the incorporeal system using brainwaves.

【Yes. 】

"Then I'm going to die, where are you going to find the next host?"You won't let me die. If I'm not mistaken, the essence of the heartthrob system is this: Without the heartthrob at the center, this chaotic world will collapse.You as the system are bound to suffer severe consequences. 』

What responded to you was the system's long silence, and he even stopped counting down, as if he was thinking about how to answer your sharp question.

[It seems that you are not too stupid. 】The system said,【If you don't do the task, the world progress bar will stop.Tasks are periodic.Sometimes there is, sometimes not.I didn't lie to you.It's up to you to do it or not, and I don't have a real life anyway.My existence is merely a digital form. 】

"I can do it.But you have to make sure that within the next month—especially when you meet Charles tomorrow, no missions will pop up. 』You quickly caught the word "periodic".

So it means that there was no task at first, but the time has not come?In other words, it is intended to allow the host to adapt to the life here, feel every soul here with heart, and believe that they are all real from the bottom of my heart.

The system was silent again, and finally agreed.

...you will regret it later.

You are like a sailor sailing on a sea covered in mist, where everything you see is hazy and gray, and you can't see clearly what is in front of you or what is behind you.I was always on tenterhooks, for fear of hitting an iceberg and sinking.

It's different now.You have some eyebrows.

You bit your lip, and out of the corner of your eye you caught a glimpse of Sherlock's black scarf still draped over the arm of the armchair.You quickly ran over to pick it up, and walked in front of the detective in three steps.Facing the indifferent eyes of the other party, she stood on tiptoe and wrapped a scarf around him, just like wearing a bed sheet when you first met.

While making the above movements, his fingertips inadvertently brushed the opponent's pale neck.

Your task is barely complete.At least the lingering system didn't talk to you anymore, reminding you that the mission failed.

And Sherlock didn't react in any special way because of your hastily approaching.His expression is flat as if it's a matter of course for you to wear a scarf for him.But if you observe carefully, you will find that his cold and reserved mask has a small crack in an inconspicuous place - he seldom smiles, and when he smiles, it is always proud and mocking, As sharp as ice that never melts in winter.But at this moment, the thin lips could not be restrained from rising, giving people a soft feeling.

Naturally, you didn't dare to look at the expression on the other person's face, and said lightly: "Then let's go?"

You are ahead of him.

Moments like this are rare.

You feel that you suddenly got rid of the state of being led by the nose before, jumped out of this vicious circle, and started to really run towards what you want.

Today's case does not appear to be so outstanding (referring to criminal methods) in the life of Sherlock Holmes.He has seen better cases than this one. He didn't go out because he wanted to prove an insignificant fact, but because he wanted to walk on the same path with you, even if we were silent.

It's not Sherlock Holmes to let him walk while watching your back.You thought about it again, and thought that you should also tell him about the trip to Gotham, so you slowed down and waited for him to come forward.

After taking two more steps, he simply stopped.

So Sherlock sees you looking up at the sky, as if checking to see if it's starting to rain.

It's cloudy.There is a feeling that the mountains and rain are about to come and the wind is all over the building.

Seeing him approaching, you just blinked your eyes—the raindrops drifted into your eyes just now.

"Sherlock, I'll go to Gotham in a while." You said something, and he nodded absently.

You looked at the other person and had nothing to say for a while, so you simply continued walking.

Brandon's boyfriend's home is not too far from 221b, and you two walked side by side for 10 minutes.

He lived in a bachelor apartment, in a cheap rented house with no obvious faults other than poor soundproofing and water leaks—which matched his tight financial situation.

Sherlock took you to the sixth floor and stood in front of the door of the corner room at the end of the corridor. He knocked on the door without any hesitation: "Property, sir! Are you at home?"

You stand on the right side of the door, sideways, so that if someone is inside, they will not be able to see you from the peephole.Moreover, if the other party opens the door, your figure will be automatically covered by the door.Sherlock motioned for you to be quiet, not to make any noise, and he turned sideways to the door, trying to catch any sounds in the room in such a strangely quiet atmosphere.

Acting with Sherlock, you seem to have taken the script of a criminal investigation drama.

After a while, no one answered the door.Even Sherlock didn't notice any footsteps or anything else.

Brandon said he had broken up with the other party.

Sherlock was dubious about this at first, but now it seems to be somewhat true.

He took out a black paperclip from his pocket and inserted it into the keyhole. The angle of the paperclip kept changing, as if he was looking for the best point of force to force the lock open.

You've seen this trick before on the Internet, and you've even done it before, but... it's only limited to unlocking your closet.

In short, anyone who passes this floor now will find the famous consulting detective picking the lock as if no one else was there.

For some reason, you glanced at the stairs going up and down.An ominous feeling hangs over you like a ghost, and you can't say exactly why.

"Don't get distracted, Yiri." Sherlock sensed your disorientation and said out loud.

You groaned and said sorry.

The moment you push the door open, the first thing you see is a large window.

Judging from the simple and well-organized interior furnishings, Brandon's boyfriend is a very clean person.

bright and clean.

When he went out, he didn't draw the curtains, he obviously didn't install the anti-theft net, but he didn't close the window either. He just left it open, and the cold wind from outside would pour in endlessly, making the already not warm room even colder.

It was obvious that the house had been deliberately cleaned before their arrival.Sherlock went to search the property, and you stood in front of the window boredly, looking at the scenery outside.

You really don't know why he brought you here, obviously he won't let you do anything.

He doesn't need you at all in that regard.

Ugh.

There are few pedestrians on the street, but you just feel that something is weird.

You carefully looked outside a few times in disbelief, it doesn't matter if you don't look, you are startled when you see it.

Charles was actually standing downstairs in this apartment building. He was looking up at this moment, his eyes were searching for something, and he saw you all of a sudden.

you:?

The moment you met his eyes, you felt a little guilty for no reason, turned your eyes away, and even shrank a little bit behind the curtains, trying to cover your figure.

You overlooked one thing - these curtains are not blackout curtains, half-light can't block your figure at all.

Why are you so fussy?You haven't figured out what excuse you're going to say to prevaricate him!

You are not a liar.You generally don't extend invitations to others.

So now it's really tricky...you feel like you're stepping into some unspeakable abyss.

Sherlock is still here, and you feel that you can't leave rashly without shame. What if there is a problem with his stats?You can't afford the consequences.

But Charles...you can't leave him alone for no reason, unless...

Suddenly you have an idea.

Just pretend you didn't see it.

Even if the eyes meet, you can pretend to look over him at other people.This is theoretically possible, but I just don't know what the young professor Charles will think.

What if he gets angry too?After all, he didn't do anything to put you in a dilemma.On the contrary, it was you who held him back first, and said ambiguous words like "I have something to tell you, Charles", which made him be influenced by you.

Thinking about it this way, no matter how you look at it from any angle, you are really unreasonable...

Hmph, it's all the system's fault!

Besides, why did he happen to be here?

You really can't figure it out.

You turned around and opened the corner of the curtain, only to find that Charles downstairs was still standing there, looking straight at you.

But there was no negative expression resembling unhappiness in those blue eyes yet.

You're still figuring out what exactly you should do.Since you put the system together, ta hasn't appeared.There are no friendly reminders now - you have always found the system to make a fuss annoying.

I saw him say something to you.

You can tell by the way Charles mouths that he's saying—

"Can I come up?"

You were speechless, and saw him approaching a little bit, and then disappeared from your sight.

You suddenly became anxious and stood still, daring not to do anything.

Assuming that Charles really comes up and finds the room you are in perfectly, then you will face a situation where two men advance and one retreats.

It would be even more terrifying if he didn't!You have to think about running into Sherlock on the way down the stairs with nowhere to hide.

So why is he here?

You walked to the door silently.

You left the door open when Sherlock broke in, and now you peek through the crack, trying to spot Charles before he spots you.

You want to run away quickly.

At the same time, it is more feasible to think about whether to avoid Charles or run away from the famous detective.

You stood in front of the door and watched for a long time, but you didn't find the expected figure of Charles for a long time, thinking that maybe he didn't know which room you were in.

Even quietly relieved, so that I can buy (?) a little more time for myself.

In the blink of an eye, you suddenly see someone wearing a gray woolen coat blocking your view.

Lifting his eyes again, he saw Charles' face.

Maybe you think too much, you always feel that today's Charles is a little different than usual, although there is still a faint smile on his mouth.

"Can I come in?"

When you heard him say this, you immediately became anxious like ants on a hot pot, and hurriedly replied: "Please wait a moment!"

Then the door closed with a bang, and the whole person stood behind the door, sweating profusely.

At the same time, Sherlock's voice came from the bedroom: "Help me get the phone. Also, what are you doing?"

It seems that if you hesitate a little longer, Sherlock will come out of that room.
