[Comprehensive British and American] The Sims

Chapter 42 Liliana's Meeting

221B Baker Street

Liliana sits in a comfortable armchair in the afternoon sun, which streams through the window into the crowded and cluttered Victorian cottage, clutching her tablet playing Tom and Jerry.

Sherlock Holmes, who had changed into a suit, walked out of the room while straightening the buttons on his skirt.

During the gap between the cat and mouse chase, Liliana took the opportunity to raise her eyes and glanced at Sherlock Holmes who had just regained her composure.

She couldn't understand why the other party insisted on coming back to take a hot bath even though he had already used the cleaning spell. This procedure was obviously meaningless.

What a delicate boy, Liliana, who still has difficulty understanding the inner world of a human being, thought so.

After soaking in a hot bath, in fact, if it wasn’t for the limited time, Sherlock Holmes would probably spend more time positioning himself. With the hot childhood memories he just recovered, he stood in front of the room. central.

He glanced at Liliana who occupied Watson's place, sitting there doing nothing, and the memory about her gradually became vivid in Sherlock's mind.

Bad, evil, arrogant, scary little witch.

Occasionally there may be a cute side, especially when she and Mycroft go head-to-head. The cuteness is fascinating.

Sherlock confirmed that he had used a certain sister, who was Liliana Downers' best friend and close friend when he was five or six years old.

At the same time, Sherlock thinks that his emotional thinking towards her is far greater than his rationality, so the girl is not a suitable candidate for spying on the news. In fact, Liliana's understanding and observation of the normal human world and her inherent Due to her mental retardation, Sherlock didn't think he could get much effective information from her.

Looking away from Liliana who was watching cartoons, Sherlock saw his brother, Mycroft Holmes, who was constantly looking at everything in the room.

Sensing Sherlock's gaze, the mature and prudent government official turned his head to look at his little brother.

Oh, he sure knows everything.

But how much he is willing to say depends on the style and technique of the interrogation.

Without hesitation, Sherlock Holmes walked over to the black sofa he used to sit on and sat down. He crossed his legs, habitually rested his arms on the two armrests of the sofa, and touched his fingertips. He used his own His arms formed a triangle on the sofa, and the tip of the triangle was lowered to his chin.

This is his standard posture while waiting for his client to present his case.

"Sherlock?" Noticing that his little brother was sitting on the side and lost in some kind of thought, Mycroft walked over with a questioning face.

Sherlock Holmes did not move. He had to stay still, and someone would do the rest for him.

Liliana put down the tablet, and she glanced at Sherlock curiously.

The girl's eyes were like clear top-quality emeralds. She looked at Sherlock fixedly, with some kind of curiosity in her eyes, and then the curiosity slowly faded, and she lowered her head again.

For about a short time, Sherlock was looked at by her with hairs all over her body. This is what he thinks is the most interesting about Liliana Downers. She obviously doesn't have much empathy and understanding for human beings. Sometimes she can't even see each other. Whether she was crying or laughing, she could clearly sense the inner thoughts of a certain type of person.

This is much more miraculous than those magic without logic.

While thinking about Liliana's magical power, Sherlock noticed that his friend Watson turned his head and looked at him. He could guarantee that there was no eye contact between him and Watson, but Sherlock knew in his heart that Watson Doctors will cooperate with their own plans.

This is probably the magic of Dr. Watson.

Sure enough, Dr. Watson walked over and said something to McCoff in a low voice, and then McCoff started yelling, "I'm not your client, I'm a family member!"

Mycroft was emotionally unstable, and he was not so easily irritated by doctors in day-to-day situations.

Liliana Downers, who was watching on the sidelines, smiled silently.

The doctor persuaded Mycroft a few more words, and finally tricked him into the chair made for the client.

Practice has proved that when sitting on the wooden chair that is incompatible with the whole comfortable room, the client will involuntarily feel a small feeling for the person sitting on the comfortable armchair.

Sherlock Holmes thought it would be good for interrogation.

Yes, he was going to interrogate his brother.

Although he was sitting on the chair, Mycroft was not the kind of person who would give up control, he relaxed himself, and then found the best posture to challenge the other people, "But where are you sitting?" , Doctor, you don’t usually stand, do you?”

As the resident unit of 221 Baker Street, Dr. Watson naturally has his place, but his comfortable and beautiful armchair was caught by Miss Liliana at a glance. Probably in the days when Liliana is here in the future, Dr. Watson Soymilk will lose his own territorial sovereignty.

But as a gentleman, Dr. Watson is definitely not the kind of person who would go to a girl and ask her to give up his seat rudely.

Even if that seat originally belonged to him.

Among the men present, the only one who could do that kind of rude behavior was Sherlock Holmes, a childish ghost who still felt like a baby in his heart, but he turned a blind eye to Liliana who was dove into the magpie's nest.

Probably this is because the baby doesn't want to be a frog again.

To be honest, both Sherlock Holmes, who followed science and logic to solve cases, and John Watson, who had received years of systematic medical education, were not well adapted to the magic system brought by Liliana.

For example, he has doubts now, since the cool Miss Liliana can turn Sherlock Holmes into a frog, why can't she turn an apple or something into a comfortable living room chair like in Harry Potter?

However, Dr. Watson did not ask this question. He felt that this kind of thing that can be solved by moving a new chair by himself does not need to take the risk of becoming a frog... especially after hearing about the tragedy of Lestrade , he became more cautious when facing Liliana.

The cautious Dr. Watson placed the chair that was originally placed by the wall next to Sherlock's seat. He finally had a place in his home again. The moment he sat down, he was sadly grateful in his heart.

After several people sat down, Sherlock Holmes looked at his brother and asked, "So, we are actually three siblings, you and me, and Oros?"

"Correct." Mycroft answered very succinctly. The simpler the language, the less flaws will be exposed.

Sherlock stared at his brother, his eyes became sharper, "The east wind is coming, you have put the word east wind in our daily conversations more than once, and said it casually, it is very interesting," his eyes fixed on him motionlessly. Looking at his elder brother, the young Holmes said, "The name Oros happens to mean east wind in Greek mythology. You don't want to say it's a coincidence, do you?"

"No," Mycroft replied very positively. To be honest, this question touched his kind heart as a good brother. Intellectually, he felt that his little brother could understand him, but he couldn't help it in action. I would like to explain a few more words, "This is a way for me to spy on your memory, so as to confirm your mental condition and memory." Under Dr. Watson's astonished gaze, Big Holmes admitted frankly, "I have been Monitor your psychological condition, Sherlock, I never meant to hurt you, I was trying to protect you."

Liliana, who was lying on the side, raised her hand childishly, but she spoke directly without waiting for Teacher Sherlock to call her name, "What he said is true, after we almost drowned you, Mycroft told you It's been a bit..." The girl looked up, as if the answer was written on the white wallpapered ceiling, and she said the word she had almost forgotten, "Transitional protection, Oulos said it was because he subconsciously found that there was no In the case of parents, he becomes your first responsible person, and raising you can relieve his inner loneliness."

The two Holmes looked indifferently at Liliana who described the care between their brothers as if they had a pet dog.

So, what the hell is parenting?

Dr. Watson coughed lightly. Liliana found that the British like to use the sound of coughing to grab other people's attention. I don't know if this has something to do with those children who pretend to be sick to grab the attention of their parents.

"We all know that Mycroft is a good brother." When Dr. Watson said this, the expressions of the two Holmes were very difficult to explain. Do you remember that you have a younger sister?"

"...not necessarily," Liliana whispered after staring at Sherlock for a while, "Xiali was completely different when she was a child, she was silly, cried a lot, and was very timid," Dr. Watson looked suspiciously at Liliana, skeptical about the authenticity of the crybaby Sherlock in her mouth, yet Liliana continues, "He's grown up to be a bit of a surprise...isn't it a bit like Oros?"

The girl looked to Mycroft for an answer.

Sherlock Holmes rolled his eyes silently. Liliana is simply a topic diverter, only she will run to strange places when she talks.

And the topic went off track, which is what McCoff likes to see, so he nodded and said to Liliana, "Although their essences are not the same, you are right."

And just before Liliana took the topic to a weirder place, Watson asked in time, "That girl, what does she look like?"

Mycroft said without hesitation, "Smart," he said with a smirk, "We have all been evaluated professionally, I am smarter than Sherlock, there is no doubt about it, but Oulos, she is a rare genius .”

Liliana interjected, "The IQ gap between Mycroft and Charlotte is that if Oulos is willing to speak slowly, Mycroft can understand part of what she said, while Charlotte is a child who knows nothing. Little fool who doesn't understand."

The little fool Charlotte looked at Liliana, and then couldn't hold back and began to mock, "I doubt it, if Mycroft and I couldn't understand what she was saying, how did you become her friend? With all due respect, Your IQ is probably below the average for the whole of London."

Liliana shrugged her shoulders, then glanced at Watson, and countered, "You and Dr. Watson seem to have a good relationship too?"

Liliana is very passionate about children's quarrels and is good at it.

Dr. Watson interrupted the two of them again and asked, "After talking for a long time, what is the reason why Sherlock forgot Oros?"

McCoff looked at Liliana and Watson, and refused, "This is a family matter."

As an outsider, Dr. Watson stood up feeling uncomfortable and wanted to leave, while Liliana sat there without moving, and said brazenly, "You said we are a family when you asked me for the cake?"

Mycroft sighed. In fact, he already knew that Liliana couldn't hide it, and Oulos would be more than happy to share his experience with her, but he still wanted to try, what if Liliana found out and left?

He needs Liliana to leave.

Mycroft remained silent, knowing that Sherlock was pressing him, he reluctantly asked, "Do you remember the red beard?"

Sherlock Holmes nodded without much hesitation, "My dog?"

Liliana glanced at him immediately.

McCoff glanced at Liliana.

Noticing the facial expressions of the two of them, Sherlock asked very vigilantly, "Is there something wrong?"

Liliana looked at Mycroft, who sighed.

The girl turned her gaze back to Charlotte, and then said, "Oulos told me that your father is allergic to dog hair, so you begged him for a long time, but you couldn't get him to let you keep a dog. Only adopted my own dog after you."

A grown man's allergy symptoms do not suddenly improve.

So how did Sherlock Holmes suddenly have an extra dog?

McCoff ignores the dog talk, which is why he wants Liliana gone, he doesn't want his little brother to recall childhood memories.

So he tried to divert Liliana's attention, "We've always had a great time at Downers Manor, Olos misses you very much."

Liliana smiled immediately, and said proudly, "I know, she loves me so much."

Oulos' brother twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, and then continued, "She tried to get Sherlock to play with her, and then... the red beard disappeared." Sighing, Mycroft said, "She put Redbeard hid, and then she started singing, and none of us understood the words, and none of us found Redbeard."

Dr. Watson asked anxiously, "...What happened after that?"

Shaking his head, Mycroft said, "Then she started calling him 'Drowned Redbeard.'"

"Oh," Dr. Watson asked with lingering fear, "how old is she? I said it was when she did this."

Staring at the small man, Mycroft showed a vague smile, "Five years old."

Liliana lay on the armrest of the sofa and asked curiously, "And then?"

Mycroft glanced at his bewildered little brother, and said, "After Redbeard, suddenly one night, Orlos set fire to the family's house, and they took her away."

The two hands were clenched together unconsciously, and Mycroft said in a low voice, "Sherlock changed after that. After a while, I found that he forgot about Oros. Later, when the news of Oros' death came, She set fire again, burned herself to death, and there was no bones left, my parents didn't want to face the pain again, so they packed up everything about her, and they didn't mention Oulos anymore." He said here Spread your hands, it means that you will know the latter part without mentioning it.

So Oros disappeared from Sherlock's life.

"Wait," Sherlock asked, looking up, "you said our parents thought she was dead, but she wasn't dead?"

McCoff nodded, and said boldly, "This is to prevent them from suffering other injuries."

"So, why are you taking the initiative to tell us that she is still alive?" Sherlock looked at her brother, and then she glanced at Liliana who was on the side, and said, "Don't say it's because of her, you and I both know that It doesn't take much effort to fool her."

Liliana, who felt that she was being despised, yelled angrily, but neither of the two Holmes paid any attention to her.

Mycroft Holmes looked at his younger brother for a while, then leaned back and said, "Don't say you don't feel anything, Sherlock, the abnormal situation in the past few years."

"What abnormal situation?"

Dr. Watson asked curiously.

"Crime," said Sherlock Holmes in a low voice, "the rate of crimes of passion has decreased, but the rate of organized crime has increased."

Liliana, who did not understand exactly what organized crime was, looked at them curiously.

And Sherlock is still waiting for Mycroft to tell the whole story.

"We think that someone is organizing a terrorist activity, using the Internet, and the scope is huge. Oulos knows some of it, and in return, I promised her that if Liliana Downers finds me, I can't stop them from meeting." Mai Kauf said.

"So, what did you ask?" Sherlock asked.

"No," said Mycroft regretfully, "apparently our little sister wants to share the secret with another person."

Oros Holmes was imprisoned on a mysterious island called Sherringford.

Liliana Downers, the Sherlock Holmes brothers, and John Watson came to this small island by helicopter. The person in charge here is an 80.00% bald middle-aged uncle.

...Although he looks meaningless from the front as a bald man, but you can see a different scene from a different angle.

After they entered Sherringford, Jarvis went offline due to signal interference. Liliana put away her tablet and looked at the place curiously.

"Does Oulos live here?" Between the boring gray and white cement walls, Liliana said dissatisfiedly, "It looks boring here."

The person in charge with a rounded bald head walking in the front turned his head and glanced at Liliana casually, then said, "Believe me, this place is much more interesting than you imagined."

Hearing what he said, Liliana showed an interested expression on her pale cheeks. She looked at him with green eyes and said, "Really? What's so interesting, tell me and listen to it?"

As if bewitched, the person in charge immediately said, "There are three ogres on the No. 13th floor of the basement. Of course we can't give them food that satisfies them, so—"

"Liliana, you should go down." Mycroft interrupted the person in charge halfway through his speech.

Hearing what he said, Liliana immediately looked at McCoff with dissatisfaction, and complained, "Is it going to go on like this? My ideal meeting with Oulos should be on the grass again. We have all kinds of delicious food Yes, chat while eating and basking in the sun."

Hearing the girl's description, Holmes Mycroft immediately sneered at her, "Oh, I can also invite you a violinist, so that you two can enjoy the music while chatting."

Liliana turned her head and glanced at Sherlock, then took out the violin, "Here, I remember you can play the violin."

...so where did you get the violin from?

Sherlock Holmes calmly took the violin from Liliana, and followed behind Liliana holding the violin.

A man in a white security uniform led Liliana and Sherlock Holmes to the front. They took the elevator all the way down, passed through heavy guards and security checks, and finally came to a closed gate.

There was silence along the way, and no one spoke, maybe it was because of the lights, Liliana felt that everyone's face was terribly pale along the way.

In front of the final gate, Liliana could hear the melodious sound of the violin playing. Although she didn't learn anything, the gene of art love flows in the blood of the Donners family. The little girl heard the melodious sound of the violin Just smiled.

"It's Oros," the girl turned to Sherlock without knowing how she came to this conclusion.

Sherlock Holmes was observing the pale, overhead faces of several people nearby. He stretched out his hand and pulled Liliana's shoulder, bringing her closer to him, and asked, "What's going on here?"

The person in charge of the last security check was wearing a white shirt and a black tie. When he looked at people, his eyes were covered with scary bloodshot eyes. After Sherlock asked him something, the security guard trembled as if he was shocked, and then said, "It's nothing, it's just this," he looked at the closed door leading to Oros, "it's been a week, I can't take it anymore, it's been a week..."

"What?" Liliana glanced at him curiously, her green eyes met his, and the girl asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I..." The security guard looked at Liliana blankly, tears streaming down his eyes suddenly, "I don't know what's the point of living, I want to leave here..."

"Just do whatever you want," Liliana said, turning her head. She looked at the closed door and asked, "Can we go in?"

The other party immediately opened the door and let Liliana and Holmes with the violin inside.

"Wow," Liliana sighed after looking around after entering the room, "this place is really boring."

There was nothing in the whole room, there was a white bed in the middle of the bare concrete wall, and a long-haired woman in white was playing the violin with her back to them.

Hearing Liliana's words, the woman put down the violin in her hand and turned around.

This was a pale and cold-looking woman. She put down the piano and said expressionlessly, "Hi, Liliana, I miss you so much."

Judging by her appearance, no one would think that the miss she said was really missed.

But the other party's attitude did not affect Liliana's enthusiasm, she looked at the other party with a smile, "Hi, Oulos, I am very glad to see you again," and then she pointed at Sherlock behind her as if she suddenly remembered something. Holmes said, "A gift, do you like it?"

The ghost-like woman looked at Sherlock standing behind, and finally seemed to have some expressions on her face, which made her look more or less alive. Looking at Sherlock Holmes, she said softly, "You Always know what I want."

Liliana laughed.

Probably out of safety considerations, after entering the gate, there was a layer of glass between Liliana and Oulos, and there was a sign saying no approaching was written on the glass.

After taking a few steps forward, completely ignoring the warning on the glass to 'keep a distance of three feet', Liliana approached straight, and then she took out a bouquet of purple roses from nowhere and held them in her hands , said to Oulos, "It is said on the Internet that visiting female friends should send flowers. I originally wanted to give you Jasmine, but you have too many white things here. How about this?"

Oulos walked into Liliana step by step. She looked at the bouquet in the girl's hand through the glass, and then smiled, "It's meaningless, Liliana, you should know this."

Smiles and flowers are such meaningful things.

Liliana shrugged, and said indifferently, "There are too few meaningful things, at least this one looks good."

Looking at his friend, Oulos said calmly, "Maybe you are right."

The woman in the white hospital gown stretched out her hand, her hand passed through the glass that should have existed, and gently took the bouquet of roses from Liliana's hand.

Sherlock Holmes was taken aback by this sudden situation, then he turned his head and reached out to press the emergency button on the wall.

A situation like the current one where the glass that was supposed to keep the prisoner disappeared is an emergency.

However, before Sherlock Holmes, with his long hands and feet and quick reflexes, pressed the button on the wall, a sudden gunshot from outside interrupted his actions.

Bang bang bang.

Three shots were fired.

The author has something to say: I found that everyone didn't understand why Oulos was locked up, so I added some content. .

Redbeard is actually a child... Sherlock modified his memory out of self-protection, imagining his childhood friend as a dog

Liliana actually gave a hint. His father is allergic to dog hair and does not agree to keep dogs, so dogs do not actually exist.

In fact, Sherlock can deduce this, but he doesn't want to think about it emotionally.
