The Beautiful Tale of England[Comprehensive]

People always have to have a little dream, otherwise what is the difference with salted fish?

I didn't think about giving myself a better treatment in terms of food before because I didn't have the right conditions, but isn't it now?

Chandler has already found out that this Miss Morstan's job is to accept some jobs related to text translation on the Internet, and she has enough free time.

Everyone wants to eat, and this lady's style is not the kind of person who likes to deal with it casually, so the idea of ​​having a meal with the other party appeared in Chandler's head.

After all, if there is food to enjoy, who would like to be accompanied by dark food every day?

And this is a win-win proposal. Miss Morstan can use this method to earn some pocket money for herself, and Chandler can also improve his quality of life.Chandler, who had studied relationships for some time, felt that his views had a good chance of being agreed.Although he doesn't have the genius reasoning skills of the consulting detective next door, he can still see some things. For example, the lady's financial situation should be good, but she hasn't reached the point where she doesn't care about her income at all.This can be seen from the shoes on her feet and the coat she wears.

The clothes are also half-new and not old. His landlord, Ms. Esther, is wearing a classic model of a certain luxury brand in Italy-he once gave one to his girlfriend four years ago. Mr. Chandler's toothache is still relatively well-off economically!Although the clothes are outdated, the expensive earrings on her ears are enough to prove that this lady is not short of money.And just because of her attitude of ordering takeout every day, who would believe that she was short of money?

But Miss Morstan was different.Generally speaking, very few beautiful girls would be so harsh on their appearance when economic conditions allowed. Not everyone, like his landlord, stayed at home all day without going out and lived on takeaway.A type like Ms. Morstan who would put on a delicate make-up on herself, if it wasn't for the financial situation not supporting it, she shouldn't let herself appear in this situation, especially when entertaining guests.

"Of course I don't mind." Mary said with a smile.

This is exactly what she wants to achieve in this operation.

As Chandler saw, she was indeed not financially free enough to let herself go. In order to prevent the need to escape again after being discovered, she was careful about money, saving as much as possible while ensuring her own quality of life. is her strategy.

So after she settles down, she will go to the Internet to pick up some translation work, which is not a problem for the former spy agent who is proficient in multiple languages. Similarly, the two bachelor clients upstairs also let her discover a new way of making money.

Even Sophia, the landlord, is within the scope of her strategy. Being able to use her simplest skills in exchange for rewards is something that Mary never dared to think about before. This is much easier than using wooden warehouses to make money before.

"If you have anything to eat, just let me know two days in advance." Mary faced Chandler with a warm but polite smile.

After agreeing with the other party's opinion, some benefits were also given.

Just like her previous job, the employer who pays always gets the best, and this is certainly no exception.

"Please count me in." Moss, who had been eating fiercely with his head down, suddenly raised his head and said to Mary.

He is not too embarrassed to make such a request alone, but he has no worries when he is with others.

According to his observation, Chandler's ability to deal with people is much better than him. Since he can make this kind of request, it means that he has judged that this kind of request is not a problem for the other party, and it is very easy to be agreed. Now The results also proved his guess.So after Mary nodded in agreement, he followed up decisively.Poor Moss is really fed up with the situation of being filled with bad food every day. Given the choice, who would like to eat worse food?

On the contrary, Sophia blinked and continued to eat her creme brulee without speaking.

Although her intuition judged that this lady was not malicious to her and could not pose a threat to her, it did not mean that she would go very close to her in the same way. Who knows what kind of secret this lady hides behind Woolen cloth?And... Sophia wasn't sure if Miss Morstan was deliberately getting closer to her two tenants for some unknown purpose. Based on her experience, it was better not to step into this 'trap'.

Well, Miss Este is still very principled in terms of vigilance, and she was not bought by a French meal.This is a dangerous agent/former agent after all, just be an ordinary landlord, neither too enthusiastic nor too cold.As long as the other party pays the rent on time, will she blow up Buckingham Palace?

The matter is settled like this, the tenants of 223b seem to have entered a happy life at once, the two bachelors can eat delicious steaming food every day, and the new blonde lady can also earn some extra money , to make up for your own expenses.Everything is going in a good direction, so that no one pays attention to the extraordinarily quiet atmosphere next door recently.

In other words, except for Mycroft, no one has noticed any difference in the male protagonist of 221b recently.

And even Mr. Holmes, who watched his brother's life monitoring every day, could not find any abnormalities in his troublesome brother.But the problem lies precisely in this. For Sherlock, no abnormality is the biggest abnormality. A consulting detective who never stopped suddenly became quiet for several days, and still read some strange books every day. The silence, this situation obviously made Mycroft see that something was wrong.

"What did you do to Sherlock?" Mycroft, who was watching the surveillance in the office, muttered to himself, and had a new understanding of Sofia's horror.

This is not a normal Sherlock!

This is what he thinks at this moment.

If I saw Sherlock watching "Indian Yoga and Meditation" before, I could speculate that he was covering up some things that he didn't want others to know, then now, Mycroft really felt his behavior It was simply manipulated!

So how did this manipulation happen?He pinched the bridge of his nose in thought.

Tampering with someone else's memory?He had heard of this ability, but it was many years ago. At that time, he was still young, and he didn't know about another force hidden in the world.And by the time he was old enough to understand these forces, they had disappeared.No, or the word "disappear" should not be used, but "hidden" should be used to describe those people with various strange abilities, which are called "mutants" by the US government!

When Sophia was treating him before, Mycroft had considered the possibility that she was a mutant, but it was quickly rejected, because according to the information he saw from the secret files, there was no such thing as a mutant in this group. No existence possesses this ability to heal others.I have heard of the ability to self-heal and plunder the vitality of others to repair one's own injuries, which is obviously different from what Sophia showed.If she is really a mutant, this extremely precious mutant ability should be firmly protected as a hole card instead of being easily revealed, not to mention that he has never heard of a mutant who can have multiple mutant abilities , which does not conform to the law of mutant abilities.

Moreover, the base camp of mutants is not in Europe. Their main battlefield is in the United States. Whether it is the Fraternity headed by Magneto or the Xavier Academy for Gifted Youth headed by Professor X, they are all far away from the European continent and located on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.Sofia Esther's life trajectory from childhood to adulthood is very clear. She has never had any contact with anyone who is suspected of being a mutant. So how did she come to such a skilled operation?And how did you hide it from everyone around you without revealing it?This completely goes against the chaotic situation when the mutant ability appeared. If she was really a mutant, she wouldn't have left no trace of it.

Another reason why Mycroft judged that the lady was not a mutant was the cause of her mother's death.

Although there is no definite evidence, there is a high possibility that mutants appeared in the cause of Teresa Este's death. In this case, if Sofia Este was a mutant, it should have been She was expelled from the family by the old Esther. It is impossible to still live so well under the name of the eldest daughter of the Esther family.

In addition... Even if the mutants' base camp is in North America, it doesn't mean that there are no other places in the world. In addition to Asia, where a large number of mutants gather, there are also sporadic mutants scattered in Europe. This creates the existence of conservatives and liberals.The Italian country itself does not have any specific position. After all, there are really not many such people in Europe, and there is no splash. However, there are still some ultra-conservative people who are more radical. Among them is the famous University of Florence. The entry of mutants.

This may sound a bit strange. There would be such shocking discrimination in a place known for its tolerance during the Renaissance, but it is a fact that if you want to enter the University of Florence, you must have a medical examination to prove that you do not have an X gene in your body.

The appearance can be changed through plastic surgery, but genes cannot be changed, so how did Sophia Este get this weird ability?

Don't tell him that this woman is a vampire. He knows and has seen that kind of creature. It is completely different from Miss Este's body temperature and heartbeat.

Mycroft fell into deep thought, not knowing the details of the other party made him very disturbed, always felt that this lady would give him some sudden 'surprise', which he didn't want at all. kind.

"Ding dong——" a text message interrupted his thinking, from the bear brother Sherlock.
