God made me miserable

Even though the climate is mild, November nights in London can still be chilly.Looking at the receding scenery outside the window, Zoe seriously began to think about a life-and-death issue—why did she agree to go with Moriarty to participate in a meeting with unknown location, unknown time, unknown participants, and unknown participants? What about a possibly unusual banquet?

Is she really tired of living?

The specially modified black Bentley interior is luxurious, and the warm air conditioner makes Zoe, who just spent several hours doing styling and changing clothes, and trying to cheer up, a little sleepy—I haven’t slept much since last night. She was really tired after hours.

"It's almost there." Moriarty leaned against the other end of the car seat, holding a glass of champagne in his hand.The light yellow liquid swayed slightly in the cup with his movements, and was then sent down the man's throat.

The criminal master watched the girl beside him happily, thinking about what would happen later, he felt even more looking forward to it.

Zooey turned her head to look at the person who invited her to the banquet, but asked her subordinates to send her to a shop on Regent Street to change clothes, and let a bodyguard in a black suit stare at her for several hours The man in the room said perfunctorily, "I hope it won't delay my going to class tomorrow." Is Moriarty afraid that she will run away halfway?

"Sir, we're here." The driver's voice sounded through the built-in intercom system, and then the car stopped slowly and steadily.

"I'll take you back on time." Moriarty stepped out of the car, then walked around to the other side of the car, and stretched out his hand into the car, "Come on, my female companion."

A gust of night wind blew, and Zoe, who only wore a coat that was more decorative than practical for the sake of the overall look, couldn't help shivering.Moriarty's bodyguard closed the door after the two got out, and the driver of the black sedan drove away, out of her sight.

Looking at the surrounding environment calmly, Zooey found that she was in a quiet street at the moment.Under the dim light, you can see that the closed shops on both sides of the street are bookstores, tailor shops, cafes and the like.Looking away, standing in front of her and Moriarty was a waiter in uniform, "Mr. Moriarty, please." The waiter, who was obviously in charge of welcoming guests, bowed his head respectfully and invited the guests go in.

Zooey's hand was on the arm of the man beside her, and she was a little puzzled by the situation in front of her—are they going into... a bar?

Opening in front of them was a wooden door decorated with feathers and ornaments, wide and narrow for only one person to enter.Even next to the wooden door, there is a small blackboard with the words "Today's beer half price" standing there.

Zoe looked down at the hem of her long skirt and at the pair of golden 15cm high heels on her feet. Ten thousand grass and mud horses ran past in her heart—she was tossed all afternoon, changing N sets of clothes and wearing them as if she was tortured So high stilettos that Moriarty just took her to the bar?

Really TM is not human!

If it weren't for the situation, Zooey really wouldn't mind strangling the neck of the man next to him and strangling this scourge to death--if there is no mystery in it and it's just a bar, then she may really be out of control because of lack of sleep. Emotional murder counsels criminals in public.

"Lady first", Moriarty didn't seem to notice the look from his female companion.Raising his arm slightly, he made a "please" gesture, motioning for Zooey to go first.

So far, Zooey can only listen to the other party's arrangement.

Pulling her skirt up the steps, someone opened the door for her and walked in. It really looked like an ordinary bar inside—except for the "guests" who were obviously security guards sitting scattered at various tables.

"This way." Moriarty, who came in a step later, walked up to Zooey and motioned for the girl to follow him inside.

Passing through the bar, there was an old-looking wooden door not far from the bar, and a waiter-like person opened the door for Zoe and his party.Immediately after Moriarty went first, followed by Zoe, and finally the bodyguard who followed.

After passing through this door, Zooey discovered that there was something really hidden in this seemingly inconspicuous bar—there was actually a luxuriously decorated elevator hidden behind it.

"Good evening, sir." The elevator door opened, and a blonde woman in a red dress smiled sweetly, "Welcome."

Zoe stood quietly beside Moriarty without making a sound.Looking down at the hem of her long skirt, Zooey knew that she might be... playing too much today.

The location is secret and highly secured. I'm afraid that the place Moriarty brought her is either some secret criminals' club, or an underground club that's not seen well.As for which one it is, it depends on what happens after the elevator door opens.

"What are you thinking?" The criminal master in the afternoon who was still tall and in a suit was very happy, and he even hummed a song.

"I was wondering where the dinner party you mentioned was." Zoe ignored the surprised gaze from the beautiful woman who was in charge of opening and closing the elevator, and looked straight at Moriarty without showing any weakness, "I actually need such a sneaky one." what place is it

"You will know soon." The elevator door opened, and Moriarty went out first, then turned around and motioned for Zoe to follow, "Come on, my female companion."

The building directly below the bar is really unique.

Zoe followed behind Moriarty, looking at the surrounding environment calmly.Marble floors, gorgeous chandeliers, walls covered with retro patterns and famous paintings hanging on the walls.The entire hall is extremely luxurious.

And the men and women dressed up and chatting together add a touch of popularity to the whole hall. If you ignore the mysterious entrance and the location of the hall itself located underground, this banquet hall looks like other luxurious halls in London. Ballrooms are no different.

The waiter with the tray came over, and Moriarty raised his hand and handed Zoe a glass of champagne.

"Thank you." After taking the drink, Zooey didn't drink it—she didn't want to get drunk in such a dangerous situation because of her poor health.

As Moriarty walked to the sofa on one side of the hall, Zoe sat on a single sofa - Moriarty himself sat down on the other double sofa, and Mr. Bodyguard stood in the corner place.

"Professor, is there anything special here?" Zoe, who didn't want to guess by herself, put the wine glass on the small table in front of her, and asked directly.

"There is a banquet here today." Moriarty took a sip of his own wine, and patiently explained to his students, "I just happened to be here to deal with some things."

The criminal master spoke lightly, but Zooey was sensitive to the coldness conveyed in the other party's tone—just enough to deal with it?What is it dealing with?Is it a thing...or a person?

Looking up at the people who were socializing in the middle of the banquet hall, Zooey found that several of them were looking at the corner where she was sitting.Some people raised their glasses as if they were doing a toast, and some people bowed their heads slightly as if they were saluting.

No, those people were not looking at this corner, they were looking at Moriarty.

Turning around, Zooey saw that the man next to him didn't respond after being greeted, and was still drinking his own wine.

"What?" Sensing his female companion's gaze, Moriarty put down his glass and said with a smile, "You..."

"Mr. Moriarty!"

However, the conversation between the two was interrupted before it even started.A middle-aged man whose hairline was so high that almost half of his shiny forehead was exposed held a wine glass in his hand, and approached him enthusiastically, "I didn't expect to meet you by chance today. It's an honor." The middle-aged man bent down and forcibly touched the glass that the criminal master had put down with his wine glass.

"Anderson, I'm Anderson Wood." The visitor reported himself.

Zoe watched the uninvited middle-aged man talking awkwardly to Moriarty with little interest.There are so many people in the banquet hall and no one came forward, I'm afraid this middle-aged uncle will be unlucky.

"...This is Zoe, my female companion." When Zoe was looking at other people distractedly, she suddenly heard her name being mentioned.

"Ms. Zoe, hello." Anderson Wood noticed that Mr. Professor had brought his female companion.

His eyes lit up.

The girl sitting on the sofa next to the professor was wearing a well-tailored black mermaid skirt and a choker necklace of the same color around her neck.A head of dazzling blonde hair and a black skirt complement each other perfectly.The girl's fair skin and slender wrists are even more exciting.

Anderson was sure that the girl in front of him was not anyone in their circle—then this girl was really the "female companion" brought by Mr. Professor?

The so-called "female companion" is just a nice way of saying it, but it is actually bringing... I didn't expect the famous professor to like this style.

"I'm Anderson, Miss Zoe." Anderson stretched out his hand

Zoe, who had been drawn back, sensitively noticed the change in the middle-aged man's eyes.The outstretched hand of the other party was already in front of her eyes. From the corner of her vision, she saw that Moriarty on one side did not intend to stop or explain at all, and his eyes were full of jokes.

Once I'm done, I'll drag Moriarty into an alley, put on a sack, and beat him until he can't take care of himself!

Zoe ignored Anderson's outstretched hand, but chose to stand up and sit next to Moriarty.

"Who is he?" Not intending to wrong herself at all, Zooey turned her head and looked directly at the man beside her, "I don't like the way he looks at me." After finishing speaking, she raised her hand to signal the waiter not far away, "Give me a cup coffee."

There was a moment of silence near the sofa.

"This..." The middle-aged man withdrew his hand embarrassingly. He didn't think Mr. Professor would be angry because of a low-class woman, but it was a bit embarrassing, "Teacher..."

"My fault." Before Anderson finished speaking, Moriarty said, "He will never appear in front of you again." The criminal master waved, and two tall men came from the corner The bodyguard, covering Anderson Wood's mouth, directly pushed him out.

Zooey could feel the atmosphere in the hall froze at the same time, and several unknown eyes cast over and fell on her.

"So now..." Moriarty stood up and turned to face Zooey, "Want to dance? Mygirl?"

The author has something to say: choker is not very vivid when translated into Chinese, so I used it directly.To be honest, if the necklace is worn by beautiful ladies and sisters, it will be really beautiful!Awesome!
