Sherlock Holmes strode down the street.

He was very unhappy.Sherlock rarely left London, but the discovery of Moriarty's presence in America after three months of boredom made him restless.The crime consultant had previously declared war on him for no reason, but then walked away without warning after he solved the puzzle, completely breaking Sherlock's character profile of him.

Mycroft surprisingly, instead of preventing him from leaving London, made it so easy for him that he immediately began to suspect that his brother was behind it.But... anyway, the fun is what counts.His most loyal and only friend, Watson, naturally wants to accompany him. However, after receiving a phone call before leaving, Watson suddenly said that he was going to visit an aunt in the nearby metropolis, and would meet him when Sherlock arrived.

"You don't have an aunt," Sherlock pointed out.

"Far away, I never mentioned her before." Watson said while putting a label on the suitcase.

"You went on a date. You made a pen pal with a metropolitan female, 28 years old or less, she was a fashionable woman, well-to-do, traditional paper industry, reading literature books - I can't believe it, Watson, you lied to me for a date."

"Stop, stop, Sherlock." Watson raised his hand in surrender, "Although I'm used to your amazing reasoning ability, I still want to ask how you know this?"

"When you spoke just now, your eyeballs shifted to the upper right corner for a moment, which means that you are thinking about the reason. When you packed the suitcase, you put a bottle of packaged perfume in it. I searched for its logo. This brand is Xinxing Recommended for young women in the workplace, unless you tell me that your distant aunt is under 30 this year - there are a few books, Camus, Wilde, Alain de Botton, your literary interests are indeed very broad, but these few books They are all new, and one of them is still glued at the joint between the cover and the front page, I can't think of any reason why you should bring a 3kg hardcover book when you visit your aunt." Sherlock said quickly, his eyes Turning away from Watson's face, "There are a few envelopes in the trash bin behind you. They should have been thrown out when you packed your luggage. The top one has typewriter ink on it, and the bottom one has a newspaper stamp on the corner. Stamp, her handwriting is very beautiful, her nails are neat and clean, and she is not a typist or something, so she can only be a media person. The Metropolitan Planet Daily, Lu—”

"Stop, Sherlock!" Watson interrupted resignedly. "Excellent reasoning. Well, well, you're right. She looked at my website, we got in touch, and that's it. Dawn The city is very close to the metropolis, we can meet up soon, okay?"

not good at all.Sherlock walked irritably on the streets of Dawn City, he had to find a place to stay, he had to deal with those goldfish, wasting time doing some boring and useless things, and no one listened to him.Fortunately, here in America, Mycroft's eyes couldn't follow him blatantly, which meant he was freer to—

"Dr. Strange? Is that you? Great, I heard that there was a situation in the Holy of Holies in New York some time ago, and I thought you would not leave New York in the short term—" a voice said behind him.Sherlock glanced back and found that the speaker was looking at him, and seemed to hesitate when he saw his face, "Uh... sorry, maybe I misidentified the person?"

Is it really a mistake, or is it intentional?Sherlock turned around and quickly looked at the two people behind him.The man who speaks has a New York accent. He is of medium build. His fingers have calluses from holding a pen for a long time. He is deeply myopic. He is an intellectual, but his clothes are loose and he has difficulty adapting to the sight of passers-by. The woman next to him looks at him with great interest. More interesting, well-maintained golden hair and skin, straight and slender fingers, no signs of deformation in the bones, good living conditions, but can't explain other problems... Dressing up intellectually, but just styling, the pair of silver-rimmed glasses are Plain, she is not nearsighted.Unrememberable facial features, some kind of disguise?In love, the lover is not the man next to him, his trouser legs are wet, and he just walked out of the lawn within half an hour, but this woman has no such traces, just met, and her body movements are not familiar... Interesting, they mentioned a place , "Holy Sanctuary, New York."Maybe find something to do during this boring day.Sherlock thought about searching for relevant information later, turned his head, and spoke with a deep New York accent:

"It's me, please don't say anything, doctor." He looked back at the man calmly and calmly, "I used some small tricks to fine-tune my appearance, because...um. I can't stay for too long, so, what happened? Please explain in detail."

He raised his eyebrows.The man nodded knowingly, and seemed to dispel his doubts: "Don't call me Doctor, Stephen. Just call me Banner as before, or you can call me Bruce... This is Audrey. Audrey , this is Dr. Strange, he is the current supreme mage."

Supreme Mage?Sherlock's fingers typing on the phone screen paused slightly.The result of "Holy of Holies" popped up in the search bar was 0, he raised his head and smiled at Bruce Banner and the lady called Audrey, and started searching "Is there a superhero stationed in Dawn City?" ".

"Let's talk as we go, Doctor Strange." Audrey said with a smile, she was still observing Sherlock, Sherlock could feel the cool wind blowing on his neck, and the search results were densely packed with "Air Girl" The discussion made him want to clenched his fists and cheered three times.Good luck, amazing good luck!The difficult cases encountered by superpowers, and not the kind of problems that can only be solved by brute force, he searched Bruce Banner and found that he had seven doctorates, which allowed him to turn to Stephen Strange's question--

"It's like this, Audrey's mentor is my friend, and we also trust the Justice League, so when Audrey asked me to improve the White Tower, I agreed." Banner said, "Tony and I A big fight—well, you know, after that incident, he thought that the safety of humans cannot be entrusted to machines. But the White Tower has been completed for half a year, and there has been no problem with its operation until this morning."

"Sorry, what's the White Tower?" Sherlock said, and he could see that Banner didn't know if he—or Dr. Strange—was aware of it at all.

"It's the security monitoring system of Dawn City." Audrey said with a smile, "It's just that the terminal is not connected to the police station but to the White Tower. The system will classify emergencies according to the urgency of the situation and hand them over to Qi Nu The purpose of this system is to solve those special situations that the police can't take care of and can't deal with."

"Pretty arrogant design," Sherlock commented. "It will eventually lead to a group of policemen with dead bodies, a government deposed by saints, and a god sought after by the people-sorry, no offense. Please continue."

"Cough." Dr. Banner cleared his throat in embarrassment, "Today is the first large-scale maintenance of the White Tower. After all, I was the one who suggested clustering joint circuit interaction, so I rushed over to take a look. However, when the system started In an instant, at least more than 30 monitors and more than 300 loops were burned instantly, which is an almost impossible failure, because the connection between the White Tower and the terminal is one-way, and currently—”

"Where are the burnt terminals located?" Sherlock interrupted him relentlessly, "I don't think you can even mark them on the map with your intelligence?"

Banner seemed to be choking, Sherlock remembered that he was still playing the unknown Mr. "Stephen Strange", wish him luck, he opened his mouth and tried to apologize: "Hold——"

"Here, Mr. Detective." Audrey handed him a screen, biting the word "Detective" softly and faintly, with a low final sound that was almost inaudible, "It's quite amazing, these circuits form a letter M on the city map. "

Sherlock takes the screen.He pressed the button and said, "I'm assuming you have reason to think it's an 'M' rather than a 'W' or a '3' or a 'Σ'—ah. A question mark."

On the city map, damaged terminals glow red and are scattered in different locations.Those red circles join together to form a giant pattern: M?

The question mark was reflected in Sherlock's eyes, and he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.In the next second, he strode up, turned around and said quickly: "The green irrigation in Dawn City is uniformly watered along the line. The sprinkler starts to irrigate the lawn from the southeast entrance of the map every morning at five o'clock in the morning. Banner, the soles of your shoes Soggy blades of grass, it's ten o'clock in the morning, and you've just come back from the point at the bottom of the question mark. That's the Dawn Central Gardens, open from 8:30-18:30, and no one entered last night. You don’t have tools in your hands, which means that the terminal is not damaged externally, nor is it completely damaged—is it internal ablation of precision components?”

"...I never knew you had such observation ability, Stephen." Banner opened his mouth and said with a sigh.Audrey couldn't help laughing out loud, and applauded slowly: "Unbelievable."

"I know," said Sherlock haughtily. "Now, let's go find the mirror."

"Mirror?" Audrey said, Banner seemed to suddenly realize, and raised his eyebrows to look at Audrey.

"Think, think, ma'am!" Sherlock paused, he was missing Watson a little bit at this moment, and his words couldn't keep up with his speed of thinking: "I just observed the terminal on the roadside, the diameter of its light-taking hole Only 5-6mm, there must be a huge mirror outside the city, which can cover most of the terminals. Did I make it clear?"

"Your intelligence is really extraordinary." Audrey also stopped and said with a smile, "Mr. Holmes, welcome to my city."

Being suddenly called out, Sherlock raised his chin without embarrassment, and switched back to the British pronunciation within a second: "The city will not belong to anyone, ma'am. By the way, I wanted to say it as soon as I met , your boyfriend may have found out that you cheated, ma'am, I suggest you think of a reason recently."

Dr. Banner opened his mouth to speak, but he choked.Audrey's smile also turned into a dull blank: "?"
