Miss Watson of the Sherlock Holmes
Chapter 19
"There's a girl there." John Watson whispered to Holmes in alarm after carefully watching the people standing in the middle of the cave hall for a while. "It can't be Ursula!"
"Calm down, Watson." Holmes said in a low voice. Fortunately, the cave they were hiding in had no echo phenomenon at all for some reason. "I remember that your cousin ordered the size of the dress for Miss Watson in the letter, and the above figure is relatively tall."
"And this young lady is obviously very thin." Holmes said to comfort the doctor. "I believe that with Eric, Miss Watson will not encounter such a crisis."
"I'm confused when I'm concerned. I'm sorry, Holmes." Dr. Watson, who had never seen his niece, took a deep breath. "Where do you think they are now. Is the hotel resting?"
"Didn't you see it? Doctor." Holmes whispered. While speaking, he reached out and pressed Dr. Watson's mouth in advance to prevent him from getting agitated. "Not surprisingly, they are the black shadows you just saw that were watching like us."
Eric Holmes looked up knowingly.
At this time, Mr. Lando's sacrificial dance had come to an end, and he sang the last line hoarsely, "The sea witch is singing! May the sea god come down!"
Seriously, it's more about shouting than singing.It's okay for the other party to speak, but when he sings, the voice coming out of his tone-deficient voice is really unpleasant, and the treble is broken by several points.
The half siren next to him, who had become extremely sensitive to music, had already covered his ears, as if he didn't want to listen.
As for the real sea monster in the venue, oh, she is still the real sea witch sung in the lyrics. After receiving a sonic attack at close range, she put on a pain mask.However, even if Nalando's two subordinates saw her hopeless expression, they only thought that the other party had finally accepted his fate.
"Finally finished singing." Ursula took out her earplugs and said, facing the unkind eyes of the half siren youth. "What tune is he using? I can't hear it at all."
"I feel like it's that nursery rhyme—don't it rain." The half-elf, who is proficient in rhythm, frowned and rubbed his temples. He listened carefully to the whole process in order to analyze the situation. (British traditional nursery rhyme, the tune is stop the rain, we want to go out and play and repeat)
"I didn't hear it at all, but it's really in line with the current situation. Isn't it raining now? Haha." Ursula said dryly, "Sure enough, it was written by old Mr. Mannay, nursery rhyme..."
With great difficulty, Mr. Lando, who did not hesitate to destroy the image of a gentleman, singing and dancing, and playing the role of a villain, suddenly fell into the children's theater with the weird atmosphere created by himself.
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who were lying on their stomachs, also saw this strange scene.
"Is this some kind of religious ceremony?" Dr. Watson guessed.
"It looks like it is, but I don't know why." Sherlock Holmes looked serious and worried. "This kind of strange ceremony, with hostages, must be bloody."
Dr. Watson touched himself, and the gun was loaded when he entered the hole: "What can we do now, Holmes."
"Unfortunately, we can only wait." Holmes checked the distance with his eyes and said, "Although I believe that you can definitely hit the opponent with your skills, it is better to wait when we have not figured out the situation. The most important thing is ..."
Holmes glanced at the three black shadows that hadn't moved at all: "Since those children below who can interrupt the ceremony directly are waiting, we don't need to be too anxious."
From the perspective of watching the trio, Mr. Lando stopped in front of the mermaid sculpture after he stopped singing and circling, and gestured to the two subordinates.
Two flesh-faced men who didn't look like good people forced Miss "Alyssa" to stand up and walk towards Mr. Lando.
James Lando took out a small knife, held "Alyssa" by the shoulder, and spoke in a gentle manner. If it weren't for the sharpened knife and the occasion, the tone would have seemed benevolent. father spoke to daughter.
He said, "Dear Alicia, don't be afraid. I just need a little favor from you, just a little blood. I'm sure you'd like to do poor old Lando that favor, wouldn't you?"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for "Alyssa" to reply, he asked his subordinates to untie the rope, restrain her activities, and then cut a hole on her index finger.
However, the blood did not flow out immediately, James Lando frowned, and was about to draw a little deeper.
"Alyssa" groaned suddenly and struggled.
Eric was behind, holding down the excited Elmani: "Don't worry, how can a sea monster not be able to break free from two ordinary humans."
"Don't move!" James Lando quickly grabbed the opponent's arm, and then separated her index finger again.
At this time, a bead of blood was already hanging on the wound.After Lando saw it, he directly pulled her along and boarded the reef where the mermaid sculpture was.He pressed her finger up.
The moment "Alyssa" pressed the sculpture's forehead, she let out a piercing scream.
"what!"
With the touch of her fingertips, the originally translucent mermaid statue began to glow red from its forehead, and then gradually turned into a faint blue light.
The mermaid's skin changed from the hardness of the crystal to the softness visible to the naked eye as the blue light swam.
"Ah, ah, ah, live, live!" one of the men shouted, took a few big steps back, and sat down in the sea water.
"Alyssa" also fell down at the moment when the blue light bloomed.
The hair of the mermaid statue began to flutter, and the scales also glowed with water. Ursula stared at it intently, and gradually became "her".
"Ahahahaha. Please grant my wish, sea elf." Lando opened his arms and shouted to the mermaid who had started to slap the water surface with its tail fin.
"Tell me your wish, human being." The mermaid, which has completely turned into a living fish, smiled coquettishly, with her fingers inserted into the seaweed-like long hair, combing it dexterously.
Ursula could no longer look at the expression of "Alyssa" who had fallen into the water and pretended to be scared.Sure enough, the beautiful little face that should have been terrified was distorted.
"My friend, my friend." Ursula rose from her hiding place.
Although the mermaid and the siren look similar in appearance, they are biologically related to each other.But to be honest, their attitude towards each other is the same as humans look at monkeys.
What about biologically close relatives?Do humans treat monkeys as their own kind?Not even a talking monkey (wronged for Monkey King).What's more, the two families are feuds, and they will fight to the death when they meet.
"It's almost time." Little Holmes took out his pocket watch and checked the time. "The real Miss Alisa can come out."
"Wait a minute, don't we care about this?" Although the half-sea monster was very anxious to bring his lover out of the inner space, the current situation is not the time for them to calmly pass through the hall and walk to the other side of the space door.
"Of course not." Eric Holmes straightened his clothes, tilted his head and looked at the excited Ursula who was biting her nails, but he replied with a lack of interest, "Look, this matter has already passed. It's the end."
Even though the two men had retreated several meters, Mr. Lando still went forward in his own way.No one paid any attention to the Ursula trio, though they were fully out of the light by this time.
"Please grant my wish. My wish is..."
"Ah, I almost forgot, since I was the one who saw it first, then according to the rules, let me collect the reward first." Said the glowing, dreamlike mermaid.Her slender white arms rested on the shoulders of this ecstatic man, and her face was pressed against his profile intimately.
In the middle of the hall, the two people embraced like close lovers, making the atmosphere suddenly ambiguous.
"Ah," said Ursula without emotion. "Are we really going to do something?"
"Er. Wait a minute. Well, that's all right now," said little Holmes, leaning against a large rock and pinching his watch.He now has a lazy expression on his whole body, and he seems to have completely lost interest in everything in front of him.
As soon as he finished speaking, a miserable cry sounded immediately, and Ursula followed the sound.
The two people who were snuggling together just now were completely different.
The mermaid's gauze-like webbed fingers had bent knuckles, and the veins on the back of the hand were bulging, and the fingertips sunk deeply into Mr. Lando's shoulder.
And her face was buried deep in the neck of the other party, making a swallowing movement.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Mr. Lando jumped up, threw off the mermaid lying on top of him, and stepped back clutching his neck.
There were a few holes in his jacket where the shoulders were obviously torn, and a ray of bright red slowly leaked from the fingers of the hands he used to cover his neck.
"What's going on here?" asked Al Mannay, who lacked common sense even as the owner of the treasure. "Why did he, I mean didn't he want to make a wish? Why was he bitten?"
Ursula looked at the siren baby who was indifferent to her natural enemies with pity: "Because mermaids want to eat people. They won't grant any wishes at all. Even if you don't know mermaids, you have seen sirens play the role of mermaids. What fairy godmother?"
"But this is not my father..." the half-sea monster asked in a ignorant manner.
"Your father did it right, but I guess it was to protect you, a silly boy." Ursula took off her hat and straightened her squashed hair. "Do you remember that treasure poem? Who do you think is talking about the blood of the person cursed by the sea monster?"
"Alyssa?" El Manner said hesitantly.
"But I think it's you," said Ursula, somewhat uncertainly.
"Why me, I'm a real sea monster." The other party was surprised.
"Maybe that's the reason. Of course, all this is just my reasoning. You can choose to listen to it." Little Holmes said as he leaned aside. "Maybe it's to prevent you from accidentally exposing the treasure, and the wealth is touching; maybe it's to prepare for the weird phenomenon that happened during your awakening."
"In this village that is still proud of its traditions, being cursed by a siren is much better than being a siren." Eric didn't care for valuables at all, and threw his pocket watch up and down with one hand. "What's more, if you meet someone like Mr. Lando, if you are caught and bled, you can also make the mermaid revive and eat him."
"What a touching father-son relationship," Ursula concluded.
The half-sea monster wanted to be moved, or he should have been moved, but after being tortured all the way, he has evolved into a new complaint, and he held back for a long time before uttering a sentence: "I said, since you said you would intervene, it has passed It's been 5 minutes, if you don't pass, Lando's face will be eaten off!"
Ursula and Eric turned their heads together when they heard this.Sure enough, the arena has turned into a chase.
"Calm down, Watson." Holmes said in a low voice. Fortunately, the cave they were hiding in had no echo phenomenon at all for some reason. "I remember that your cousin ordered the size of the dress for Miss Watson in the letter, and the above figure is relatively tall."
"And this young lady is obviously very thin." Holmes said to comfort the doctor. "I believe that with Eric, Miss Watson will not encounter such a crisis."
