Earth Raiders progress report [comprehensive British and American]

He showed no flaws in the panic. Although Joshua felt that Patrick was different today from the past, he still let him take a deep breath to relieve him, and brought him back to his home, regardless of whether the people behind him continued Follow up.

This may be regarded as an accidental and successful completion of the goal.Sherlock sat on the sofa in the living room of the young man who had brought himself home, and so concluded.

There was no step in his original plan to strike up a conversation. Of course, in fact, he didn't take the initiative to strike up a conversation. It was Joshua who saw him and showed the look of meeting an unexpected acquaintance, and called out Unfamiliar names, as if they knew each other, and he just acted according to the background setting of the other party.

In fact, Sherlock wasn't sure if Joshua was really mistaken, or if this was his usual tactic, but on the street side, he fit the initial profile of a suspect.

Yes, of course, he would run from the UK to the US, and even pretended to be someone else and entered someone's house, of course because of the case.

It actually looks a bit like a supernatural case, because the image of the victim's corpse not only has a horror factor, but also has a sense of supernaturalness... To put it simply, it is a mummy, but the death time is not very long, and all the victims are dying. There have been abnormal behaviors before, without exception, as if they were controlled by the mind, as if they had changed into a different person, they were extremely cruel to the relatives and family members they cared about, and they seemed to be obsessed with a certain appearance who was said to be the "perfect dream lover" object.

However, the description of this object is also different, sometimes it is blonde and sometimes black hair, sometimes it is long hair and sometimes short hair, sometimes it is male and sometimes female, sometimes it is a bar stripper, sometimes it is a white-collar elite, but the image can be changed. For camouflage, as long as you master certain techniques, it is not difficult to change hairstyle or even appearance gender. Modern makeup techniques and props are quite advanced.

But this is indeed a very interesting case, the modus operandi has never been seen before, and it is amazing that every victim can be so obedient as being bewitched, so Sherlock accepted the case almost without hesitation, Not to mention that before that he was too free to start playing the violin to disturb the people, and now that it was so interesting, he certainly wouldn't miss it.

The appearance of the murderer is almost completely random. In addition to the frequent changes in appearance, the time and place of his... or her committing the crime are not fixed, but the reason why it is called random is because there are still certain rules to follow. Cases usually occur in areas relatively close to the sea. There are not many inland areas, but there are not many, and the murderer's movement can be speculated.

That is to say, the movement route of this demagogic perpetrator is almost to New York. Sherlock has reason to believe that the other party will look for the target in the nearby area, and may even have found the target. He is far less interested in the United States than in London. Familiarity, it is not easy to narrow down the scope, but to find a person with the ability to control the mind, it is possible to find the characteristics of such a person by observation.

This young man quite fit the initial characteristics of a murderer.

He looks quite good, and he is the type of person who can be called the "perfect dream lover". He is not muscular, and his facial features are not awkward if painted with female makeup. It is not difficult to disguise himself as a woman. And it can be inferred from his hands that he is quite proficient in certain tools. He can be a person who can achieve mind control, and he can also be a person who can make people fascinated deliberately.

And it was a surprise that this person would take the initiative to talk to him, and he would refute the other party for no reason.

Sherlock is still not quite sure whether there is really a person who looks the same as himself and is already the target of the other party, or he thinks that admitting a wrong person in this way can make the other party lie directly about it, from the perspective of possibility It is more realistic to look at the former, after all, the success rate of the latter is not high, even if he really has an overly good-looking face.

But in short, he followed in, and the furnishings and decorations in the house looked very normal. However, it can be inferred that he has only lived in for a short time, and there are traces of life, but not for long. Locke continued his panic attack disguise and saw a cup of hot tea on the table in front of him.

"Pick it up." The young man with short brown hair said, with a commanding tone in his tone, "But don't drink it, tell me you will not spill it."

"Yes." The British detective with short curly hair thought for a while and chose to obey this instruction. It was obvious that the other party was helping him to "relieve the panic", because he did not seem to have fully returned to normal after adjusting his breathing on the street.

"No." Joshua shook his head negating Sherlock's answer, saying, "Look at me and tell me you won't spill it."

At this time, Sherlock finally realized that the other party was not only helping him relieve the symptoms of panic attacks, but trying to control and be controlled through a certain field—the field that allowed him to conclude that the other party had the ability to control the mind. It must be said that if this Patrick is real and has panic attacks from time to time, then their relationship is indeed easily controlled by the mind.

"I'm not going to spill it," finally the man from England said after looking him in the eyes after a two-second pause.

Joshua sat down across from him, "Then do it for me, Patrick."

It's true that Sherlock didn't spill the cup of tea, of course, he's not really having a panic attack, and he's not someone with limb problems, it's just that it's a little difficult to hold the cup steady while showing his panic attack, but this kind of Difficulties can also be interpreted as a confrontation with symptoms in the eyes of the other party. In the end, Sherlock chose to hold the cup firmly with a trembling smile.

"Good boy." The young man's tone seemed to be more rewarding, "Now you can start drinking it."

The detective blinked his light-coloured pupils, made sure there was no drug added to it, and took a sip of the tea in the cup obediently.

After he finished this action, the young man who brought him back seemed to return to the natural state at the beginning, and asked him: "How do you feel now?"

"I..." Sherlock paused, not deciding whether he should return to normal, but this hesitation seemed to be another explanation in the eyes of the young man.

The person opposite sighed and stood up from the sofa, he left for a while, and came back with a whip.

The author has something to say: Attention!Notice!The author is not a professional, and Joshua's method of relieving panic attacks is not normal. This is what the author made up. The way the protagonist relieves panic attacks is not recommended in real life
