Bandage fine tricks

Perhaps not speaking human words is the consensus of all detectives who have not reached the final climax of the plot. No matter how Xiao Ba makes insinuations, this famous detective in London, England still believes that he has "already told enough information" and "is normal." Everyone should know what happened."

Xiaoba: ...

That's probably because I'm not a human, but a cat :)

Scotland's mission only lasted until she was sent to Mr. Conan Doyle. After confirming that another detective, Mr. Dentist, had "received the package", he went into the next employment mission and disappeared.

Xiao Ba had a subtle feeling of being left behind.

It's strange, it's obvious that we've only met each other not long ago, and the relationship between "employee and transported" is so obvious, why do I always feel aggrieved?

Xiao Ba thought in confusion.

Even in his revived memory, there seems to be no figure of Mr. Scotland... Ah...

Xiao Ba covered his forehead.

The overlapping shadows are broadcast in the mind like some disordered titles.

When I vaguely recalled it, it seemed that in a scene like a street cafe, the young man with the guitar bag on his back looked at the girl beside him, showing a helpless smile.

"I seem to really know him..." Xiao Ba murmured to himself while pinching the handle of his half-drunk coffee cup.

"Whether you know him or not, he's gone."

Mr. Detective raised his eyebrows and glanced at the girl here. He felt that this child was really easily influenced by others. She had been away for a few days, but she was still thinking that she had to find a reason to divert her attention... so Thinking, he pushed a letter in front of her: "Help me deliver a letter."

Shouldn't this be the job of the post office... Xiao Ba swallowed the question on his lips, took the letter and looked at the address, and said, "I don't think I can get in this place..."

"Do you think I will forget the pass?" Mr. Detective handed over another pass with disapproval.

Xiaoba: "..."

Ok.

Receive a letter delivery mission from Mr. Detective Sherlock Holmes, the mission reward: experience +1 for familiarity with the map of London, and £1 for running errands.

Xiao Ba dubbed the system voice for himself in his heart, and muttered to himself to take the letter to the mission location.

The location of the mission is a super-famous five-star hotel in London, which bears the heavy responsibility of staying at the place where foreign heads of state visit the Queen of England. Due to the recent EU business cooperation, quite a few internationally renowned business teams have stayed here, and the current security level is basically the same as that of the head of state. Unidentified people (although Scotland gave her an ID but she didn't think it would survive that level of security) had no chance of getting in.

The almighty Mr. Sherlock Holmes solves this problem.

Just use a small business card.

It’s just that Xiaoba didn’t expect that when she arrived at the place and was successfully seen by the door as a welcome, she should not be just a welcome. After the attendant checked her ID and business card, she was taken directly to a large conference hall. .

This place is said to be a meeting room, but it is actually a free party for self-service meals, which is used for relaxation for everyone attending the meeting. Of course, you can also take this opportunity to talk to and discuss with interested targets who are interested in cooperation—all around. This small box-like arrangement surrounded by sofas, green plants and other decorations well meets the privacy requirements of these business people.

These days, the job of the postman has reached the point where it has to be delivered all the way to the recipient, instead of being handed over by his subordinates?

It turned out that the person I met in this meeting room was also a subordinate—the other party glanced at the appearance of the letter she showed, but instead of reaching out to pick it up, he took a step back and motioned her to follow.

Xiaoba: "..."

How come there is a feeling of a game running a ring task?

It's over the sky. Why does the white-level messenger mission give her a feeling of being a pre-epic mission? ? ?

Although she kept muttering in her heart, the girl showed no superfluous expression on her face, and calmly followed the other party's pace, paying attention to the surrounding environment with one mind and two purposes.

Surveillance cameras, guards with in-ear headsets in their ears, attendants and maids with light and graceful steps...

In the hall I just passed by, there seemed to be quite a number of people there, otherwise the security factor would not be so high... Just thinking about it, Xiao Ba noticed that there was a camera on the ceiling on the right side of the corridor, although it was also flashing slightly like other cameras It glows red, but judging from the frequency and speed of movement, it doesn't seem to be very gregarious.

Feeling a beat slower.

Xiao Ba took a look and then looked away.

One of the manifestations of small-scale BUG in the program, after about two or three seconds, the program self-test can check the BUG and return to normal.

The person who led the way had already reached a delicate door with embossed patterns, stretched out his hand to open it, asked the person inside for instructions, and then signaled her to go in.

Before stepping into the gate, Xiao Ba took a last look at the camera, just as she thought, after only two or three seconds, the camera caught up with the beat like the others.

It's back to normal.

The thought disappeared in a flash, and when the door closed, she had already focused on the scene in front of her that needed to be dealt with.

How should I put it, she had imagined seeing someone unexpected, and even Agatha's chief attendant was within the scope of her consideration—especially considering that although Sherlock and Agatha were not on the bright side, To deal with it, but it seems that it often cooperates seamlessly without any discussion in various incidents. Xiaoba also thought that the recipient of his letter might be the head of the attendant, but what he didn't expect was that he was brought all the way here. After that, what appeared in front of her was a little girl who was obviously not yet ten years old.

Blonde hair and blue eyes, as beautiful as a doll, with long curly golden hair hanging behind her, she is opening a pair of eyes bluer than the sea, covering up her curiosity with arrogance.

"This is the bodyguard recommended by Mr. Holmes?" The little girl wearing a waist-tight princess dress and holding a silver diamond crown in her hair reservedly unfolded the feather folding fan in her hand, covering the lower half of her face, but couldn't hide it. Curiosity couldn't be hidden in those water-blue eyes.

Xiaoba: "...?"

A question mark slowly appeared above the girl's head: Bodyguard?

Seemingly understanding her expression by heart, the little girl showed a slightly suspicious look of curiosity: "Isn't that letter a recommendation letter from Mr. Holmes——Dad asked Mr. Playmate and bodyguard, but I remember that Mr. Holmes refused at first, is this because he changed his mind?"

Part of the straightforward colloquial grammar, and part of the complicated aristocratic grammar, combined with the child's Lolita-style attire and the luxurious atmosphere that is too "exposed" for the nobleman - also called the breath of money - Based on other subtle clues, it can almost be judged that the child's family seems to be a combination of traditional aristocrats and modern rich... Xiao Ba was thinking about the identity of the child, and at the same time, he did not forget to think about the play that the child said. What happened to the companion and the bodyguard.

Mr. Sherlock only sent her letters.

The girl in front of her fell silent, which made the person who brought her over show slight dissatisfaction: "Did you come here without knowing anything?"

Hearing his words, the girl who was dressed in a simple and neutral dress, whose gender could be seen only by her soft body curves and delicate face, was silent for a while, but only for a second or two.

Before he could say anything, the girl tore open the hitherto unopened letter which had been handed to her by Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

"You..." The guide was startled, but he didn't expect that the other party simply turned the envelope upside down, and a blank sheet of paper came out.

Nothing.

Could it be that Mr. Sherlock's bad taste again?For example, a letter written with a special potion that dries up and won't see any traces after it's written on it...

The guide couldn't help thinking this way.

After all, they had been fooled by that famous detective in London and even in the world for a long time.

But unlike the guide who thought it was a detective's prank, the girl stared at the white paper in her hand.

The task of delivering a letter that was suddenly assigned to her, but there was no content in it;

higher-than-normal security systems;

A slow shot and back to normal surveillance footage...

After a pause of less than half a second, Xiao Ba suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the little girl who hadn't reacted, and was about to go out—before she took a step, she seemed to realize something, and stepped back quickly.

"What are you doing... ah!" The little girl who was being hugged by the waist exclaimed, conditioned reflex to wrap her arms around Xiao Ba's neck to prevent herself from falling.

"I'll talk about everything later, and answer me first—where is the explosion-proof room." Xiaoba said concisely.

Being able to be in charge of this lady's security work, the quality of these people is worthy of recognition. After the initial confusion, the bodyguards who put the employer's safety as the highest priority immediately realized what they hadn't thought of before. The young lady who picked her up went into the house.

This kind of place has a "safe house" for dealing with danger. Of course, the safe house here does not refer to the logistics supply office of the secret service, but a room for the owner to hide in when an unsafe situation occurs. Made of materials with high resistance to attack, basically the door is closed and isolated from the world.

Almost at the same time she led the young lady into the explosion-proof room, the ground shook!

A strong impact swept across, the whole house shook, the outer wall cracked, and the cracked bricks and stones fell from the gaps. Xiao Bazhi had time to push the child in his arms into the explosion-proof room, and the door behind him was closed by the second. The second wave of shock hit directly and violently.

The violent shaking lasted for more than ten minutes before it stopped.

A hand stretched out and pressed it on her vest, accompanied by the steady voice of the young girl whom I met for the first time: "Breathe...don't be nervous, come on, exhale, inhale...exhale..."

Under the adjustment of that hand and voice, she realized that she almost suffocated herself: the terrible attack happened too suddenly, and after she reacted slowly, she realized that she was frightened just now To forget to breathe.

If I hadn't found out in time, this little lady wouldn't have suffocated herself... Xiao Ba thought, and his hands lightly comforted the girl who finally recovered from the sudden attack and hugged her waist tremblingly. little girl.

The room was pitch black, and with human vision, we could only vaguely see the silhouettes of people close at hand. The only thing that could be seen clearly was the pair of different-colored pupils that were exceptionally bright in the dark, one brown and one green, bright as if in the dark night the same light.

So beautiful that she wanted to have those eyes in her treasure box.

"Ah... Did you lose your glasses?" Unlike the little girl who can't see much, the cat's eyesight is enough to see everything clearly, including the little girl in his arms looking at his dazed face, and the other party can't hide his surprise On his face, Xiao Ba realized that the glasses he used to cover his pupils had fallen out of place, "Well, don't tell it, it's a secret."

She raised her finger and whispered.

The characteristic of heterochromatic pupils is too obvious, and it is not suitable for her to investigate Andre and his past plans, so she used various methods to cover up the true color of her eyes, such as slightly colored eyes. fashion glasses.

The little girl didn't speak, but Xiao Ba could feel that the other party's hand around her waist tightened a bit.

It wasn't until the child finally got used to it that Xiao Ba heard her trembling voice: "What happened, what happened..."

"Probably something like an attack." Xiao Ba said casually.

The quality of the explosion-proof room is trustworthy, but that is when there is no super blow.

Before the child in his arms woke up, Xiao Ba had already checked the situation where they were.

Very bad.

The space that can be moved is less than two cubic meters: the explosion-proof room has collapsed, but fortunately when it collapsed, the large wall panels and the ceiling formed a stable triangle, which saved the two of them.

Others are afraid...

This kind of impact cannot be caused by ordinary mortars, not to mention that it is too far-fetched for mortars to appear in the urban area of ​​London, so the biggest possibility is a person with supernatural powers.

It was an attack launched by a person with supernatural powers so powerful that they could be used by an army.

There is such a commotion in the borders of London, I really don't take Ms. Agatha seriously...

If there is not enough interest, it is difficult to believe that just a personal grudge can make people do such a thing regardless of the consequences of angering the clock tower servants, so the possible possibility...

Thinking about the possible twists and turns behind the attack, Xiao Ba's eyes flashed, drawing the attention of the child in his arms: "By the way, I don't know your name yet."

The person who can make Mr. Sherlock let her come to protect is the child's own particularity, or the particularity of her identity—or to put it bluntly, it is her own sake, or is it warning or behind her back? Demonstration by the forces?

There are too few materials available at hand, and Xiao Ba is temporarily unable to deduce which possibility it is, so he simply asks the child in his arms.

"Scotty." The little girl hugged the girl who was protecting her tightly. In the smoke and dust that could not be concealed, she clearly smelled the smell of the girl she was holding: the subtle scent of lemon mixed with an unknown The fragrance has merged into a fresh and sweet fragrance. At first, I thought it was lemon fragrance, but after careful identification, I found that it was not a pure fruit fragrance...It smells good, it is a perfume, so I went back to buy one , she really likes the smell.

Thinking of this, Scottie couldn't help but bury his face deeper.

It's amazing, I almost died, I was so frightened just now that I forgot to breathe, but now I quickly settled down, the fear, fear, seems to have disappeared - it can't be said that it doesn't exist at all, But those that remain, can ignore the past without extra attention.

"What's your name?" Scottie couldn't help asking, Mr. Sherlock must have known something before letting this person send a blank letter in order to let this person protect himself.

That is to say, this person was given to her by Mr. Sherlock?

It doesn't matter if it's not, she can go to her father and ask him to send this person to her.

She seldom cares about anything extra, loving parents, and a family situation so rich that ordinary people can't imagine, her parents poured almost all their love on her, and everything she wanted was within reach.

As long as she thinks, whether it is the stars in the sky or the rare mineral deposits deep in the earth, everything will be presented to her by her father for her smiling face.

Although she has never asked her father what she wants so far—because usually before she thinks about it, the father who dotes on her daughter has already put things in front of her—as the first time she wants, when she leaves here , she went to ask her father for this person!

Xiao Ba, who was tapping the nearby plates lightly with her fingers and using the sound waves to determine the outer structure so that she could make a plan for the next step out of trouble, didn't know that the sticky arms in her arms would not let go or even rub against her waist. What is the little guy thinking.

Sound can do many things, such as the echolocation system that many mammals can do. She is definitely not as good as those animals that have specialized in this for millions of years, but judging the stability of the surrounding ruins is convenient for the next step. Simple things like getting out of trouble can still be done.

Well, the general structure is clear, and the support points between the broken plates are also almost clear. Next, as long as...

Calculating the route, Xiao Ba let the child in his arms loosen his arms: "I'm going out later, be careful not to leave my side, do you understand, Miss Scottie?"

"Call me Scottie!" said the little girl without thinking.

Xiao Ba, who was checking the results, didn't care: "Okay, Scotty."

This made the little girl's expression improve a lot. She let go of the girl's waist that she was holding tightly, and instead held her hand: "Is this okay?"

"Well, yes, don't worry, I will protect you."

Finally straightened the crooked diamond crown, Xiao Ba withdrew his hand, the boiling power in his body leaked out, along his right hand, impacting on the supporting wall.

In the pitch blackness, Scottie only remembered that pair of pupils of different colors were bright as if there were flames burning in them, like the extremely bright stars in the velvet night sky.

It is those stars that are separated by hundreds of millions of light years and can still transmit the brilliance of the burning sun to the earth.

It is a star that falls into her palm.
