The rain was getting heavier and heavier. On the scene of the crime, Sherlock seemed to have a plan in mind. For convenience, most people moved to a nearby rain shelter to discuss the case, leaving a small number of people to continue guarding the scene.

Anna stood up, in the pocket of her hand, a blue light flashed on her fingertips, and there was a blue magic charm in her hand. At the same time, there was a square Kongming lantern around Anna, which no one else could see. The pattern of the Big Dipper was depicted in detail, and the lamp body exuded a faint blue fire light, flying around Anna.

Its name is Xishen Beidou, which is a lamp that points out the direction and illuminates the light for alchemists.

Walking into the scene, Anna stood still in front of Linda's corpse, grabbed a gap that no one noticed, and quickly passed over the corpse with the magic charm between her right hands.

Dots of blue light penetrated into the Spirit Gathering Talisman, forming a graceful arc in the air, and then disappeared from people's sight in an instant.

"Ma'am?" A male policeman saw Anna standing next to the corpse, and stepped forward to motion for Anna to leave.

"Okay, I'll leave right away, sorry." Anna smiled apologetically at the policeman, walked away quickly, and turned into a sparsely populated alley.

Using the index finger and middle finger of her right hand to hold the talisman and place it in front of her forehead, Anna muttered in her mouth: "Change the fighting, move the stars and turn the fate, yin and yang condense the soul and chaos. Shame against the earth."

As the verses were read, the spirit-gathering talisman began to emit a little bit of blue light, and they gathered together to gradually form the outline of a woman.

The plain skirt and soft smiling face are undoubtedly the dead Linda.

"Anna." Linda opened her eyes and was surprised when she saw Anna in front of her: "I...I'm not..."

She subconsciously looked at her chest, there was no blood, her feet disappeared together, and the lower body was replaced by a smoky chaos, giving people a very strange feeling.

"...I'm already dead, right..." Linda was stunned for a moment, then broke into a bitter smile.

"Yes, I am only temporarily gathering your soul now..."

"Thank you, Anna, thank you..." Linda didn't ask much, just thanked her.

"The police have already intervened in the case, and Sherlock is probably about to settle it...your husband..." Anna hesitated.

"...I thought I could change him... When I first returned to the country, everything was beautiful." Linda narrated intermittently. As she spoke, her tone began to choke, and tears began to fall from her eyes. Tears rolled out The eye sockets turned into a cloud of mist and disappeared into the air after falling into the air. "But after a few days, Bob's bad habits relapsed, and he started gambling again. To stop him, I deposited money in a bank account, and the money at home was also hidden. He was very unhappy at first, yes. My complexion is very bad, and I haven’t been home for a few weeks... He came back a few days ago and behaved very well, I thought he had changed... Yesterday he said that he would go out with me for a walk, I was very happy, I didn’t expect... …did not expect……"

"Linda, I'm sorry..." Anna said apologetically, "I've been in touch with you often, but I haven't helped you at all. Even if I could notice it, you wouldn't..."

Linda's phantom floated in mid-air, she stopped crying, wiped away her tears, floated over, held Anna's face in her empty hands, and pressed her forehead against Anna's forehead: "Honey... don't blame yourself, This matter has nothing to do with you at all... It's because I have always had delusions in my heart, and I still have expectations for him, and finally became what I am now..."

"Anna." Linda straightened up and looked into Anna's eyes: "My feeling is getting weaker and weaker, and it may not last long before it disappears. Can you please do me one last favor?"

Anna nodded silently.

"Can you please take me to the scene of the crime? I want to say goodbye to this world..."

Anna parasitized Linda in Xishen Beidou's protection area, and stood not far from the crime scene. She had been warned by the male police just now in order to gather Linda's soul, and Sherlock might become suspicious if she went any further.

The rain was still falling, and the sky was gloomy, giving people a rather depressing feeling.

Linda was floating on the Big Dipper with a peaceful face. She had never seen so high, so far, and so clearly. Her own body was lying on its back in a pool of blood, looking hideous and terrifying. Her husband, who had apparently been convicted of a crime, was pressed by the police to kneel on the ground and kept struggling.

Linda felt that the last thread in her heart seemed to be broken...

"Thank you, Anna, thank you." Linda cried and laughed again: "Finally, before I left this world, I completely gave up on Bob. Although it was a bit late, I finally did it."

Linda's body began to slowly turn into dots of light, disappearing into the air.Anna looked at the brilliant light spot and asked, "Do you... regret it?"

There was no answer for a long time. When Linda's figure completely disappeared, Linda's faint voice pierced through Anna's ear. It was an unexpected answer: "No...my dear...I... No regrets."

Anna stood away from the crowd for a long time, and the black umbrella she was holding had long been lost. She thought that although she lived in the human world, she still didn't understand the feelings of the human world.But sometimes she thinks... Maybe it's better not to know...

Anna nestled in the soft sofa, wrapped herself into a ball with a thick blanket, her face showed a flush that is characteristic of a cold, with two swollen, walnut-like eyes, the same as before. It's like two different people.

"Ah Chiu!" Anna sneezed heavily, with snot running down her nose, making her look even more miserable.

Tina hurriedly handed over a tissue: "Anna, we haven't seen each other for one night, how did you make yourself like this!"

"Obviously..." Sherlock leaned aside, drinking tea, and said with a sneer, "Several hours of continuous rain, coupled with violent mood swings, even our strong Miss Anna couldn't support it. Kauf knows what it's like to be threatened by someone with this look."

Anna took the tissue, blew her nose hard, and said, "You can try it instead! By the way... how did you know that I threatened Mycroft?"

"Guessed, obviously I guessed right."

"you……"

"Okay, okay." Tina interrupted the childish and meaningless argument between the two, and said to Anna: "Anna, you are sick now, and you must not be with Harry anymore. Children's immunity It's very weak."

"Got it..." Anna sulked, she and Harry had been separated for 2 weeks, and now they were going to be separated from him for even longer because of the goddamn cold.

Tina nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Sherlock, and said apologetically, "Sherlock, you saw it too, can I trouble you to take care of Harry for a few more days?"

"Mrs. Hudson is back, and I think she will be happy to take care of Harry." Sherlock nodded in agreement. He still had a bit of a mismatch with Harry, but after getting along for a while, generally speaking, He could barely tolerate that little devil.

"It was a great help. You just stay here, I'll go and see poor Harry first." Tina thanked Sherlock, and hurried down the stairs to pay attention to Harry's condition.

The room was silent.

Anna watched Tina's back disappear at the top of the stairs, and said quietly, "Sherlock...do you still remember what you said to Linda when we first met..."

"Useless stuff I never remember..."

Anna turned her head and stared at the window that was blurred by the rain, and asked after a long time, "Do you think she regrets it?"

After a moment of silence, Sherlock replied,

"...I'm afraid she never regretted it."
