[Comprehensive] Sherlock Holmes

Jian Ruo rubbed her head, feeling a little irritable.

When people are irritable, they can't control themselves, and she too, couldn't help but kicked the chair, and looked around regretfully.

She lowered her eyes, feeling a little aggrieved.

Without a mobile phone or a watch, she didn't know how long she had been sitting like this. She really felt bored, so she moved the chair and opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he met Lestrade.

Holding a cup of coffee, he looked surprised, apparently startled by Jian Ruo's sudden opening of the door: "Why are you still here?"

"..." Jian Ruo's hand was still resting on the doorknob, she pursed the corners of her mouth, a little strangely, "Huh?"

Lestrade immediately felt the ambiguity in the words, he froze for a moment, and quickly explained: "No, Sherlock has already left just now, I thought you were with him—"

That also sounded a little off.

Lestrade coughed in embarrassment: "—maybe he has something to do?"

Jian Ruo's fingers slowly tightened, and subconsciously clasped the handle: "...Oh, I think so too."

The sky has not yet completely darkened, but the sun is like an old man who is dying, half covering his face, leaving only a little orange full of tiredness.

"I should go." She opened the door and walked out. The door closed behind her with a bang, and she smiled at Lestrade, "Goodbye, Inspector."

"...You—" Lestrade wanted to say something, but the phone vibrated, he glanced at it, raised his head and frowned, and glanced at Jian Ruo hesitantly, "—be careful on the road. Goodbye, Jane."

Jian Ruo waved her hand to say goodbye, and walked out facing the light, the shadow was so long that it was a bit shocking.

Lestrade sighed and glanced at his phone again.

A text message from SH.

【——Don't send her off. 】

Short and cold, just like that person's style.

……

At this time, although the subway in London can be said to be crowded, it is not too much. It stands to reason that it is very appropriate to take the train to Oxford at this time. It is not too late when you arrive. Oxford must be busy at that time. She You can even find a restaurant, have a good dinner, and then hang around for a while, take a walk, and then go back.

Jian Ruo stood staring at her toes for a while, thought aimlessly, but still didn't go in - she didn't really want to go, maybe staying in London for a while was more in line with her mind, although it wasn't very rational.

— How about buying a new phone?

Sooner or later.

She always does things very quickly. Although she always hesitates to make a decision, once she thinks about what to do, she will be extremely urgent.

It took less than half an hour to buy a mobile phone. I fiddled with the settings, put it in my pocket, turned around, and walked consciously to the nearby subway station.

Have dinner in London and take the tube straight back - not a bad plan, isn't it?

Very lively.London and Oxford are still different—after all, there are more people in London, everyone walks together, watching the endless traffic, the flashing neon lights, the laughing crowd, the music playing from the shops——

She used to like quiet places very much, but such excitement made people think of her hometown.

Perhaps because of the large number of people in London, she has met several Chinese people along the way, possibly international students, who were lively and talking words she was familiar with.

Her footsteps can't help but be hindered by those familiar syllables.

Jian Ruo stood in the middle of the crowd, a little listless——

"Jane?" A somewhat surprised male voice sounded from behind, and Jian Ruo turned around when she heard the sound, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

—Achilles.

He was wearing a suit, and his deep eyes added a sense of melancholy. When he saw Jian Ruo, Achilles curled his lips, as if he was a little indescribably happy. He walked towards Jian Ruo, who was about to greet him just now. But unexpectedly, she was hugged gently by him.

She was completely dumbfounded.

Perhaps it was because the British were relatively reserved—and since she came to England, she had met some freaks, so she rarely encountered such a warm greeting.

—Perhaps because of Achilles' natural Mediterranean enthusiasm?

This may be due to genetics.

Thinking of this, Jian Ruo licked her dry lips with a little embarrassment.

"...Hi, Achilles." Achilles had already let go of her, and she faced the face full of joy, and said half-jokingly, "——do you miss me too much?"

"Yes." He didn't hesitate, and there was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, "Oh, Jane, you don't know how lucky I am--" He paused, and smiled shyly. With a smack of his lips, those beautiful blue eyes drooped slightly and were half-covered, making it hard to blame him for being too shy "——don't mention this...Jane, I hope you are all well."

Jane Ruo felt that this was a bit out of mind, but she still ignored this little problem: "Thank you, Achilles."

"Are you coming to London alone?" He stared deeply at Jian Ruo.

"Well——" Jian Ruo shrugged, "Well, I'll be going back soon."

"What a coincidence, we can be together." Achilles said immediately, with that kind of gentle smile on his face that people couldn't bear to refuse, "—if you haven't eaten, I think we can Together, like when we first met."

She should have said no.

But Jian Ruo looked at Achilles, but gradually a strange feeling rose up - why did she refuse?Such a choice does not belong to reason, but is purely driven by an indescribable emotion, but once you calm down and conduct a reverse analysis, you will find that such a choice is like a rootless duckweed - Lian Jianruo I don't understand why I should reject such a person.

She didn't choose any marriage partner, and there was no problem of avoiding suspicion between two single people. Wasn't her previous relationship view just to get along with the flow?But why faced with a very attractive man like Achilles, she subconsciously chose to escape?

"Okay." She showed a beautiful smile.

Everything seems to be very logical, Western food, soft conversation, soft lighting, a smile on the face, a little wine.

Why did she never want to go to Western food with Sherlock before?Actually——is it okay?Jian Ruo rested her face, her eyelashes cast deep shadows on her eyelids. The facial features of Asians are not deep, flat, but very gentle. The warm and soft light hit Jian Ruo's face, making her outline Appeared softer and softer.

"——I used to think that Western food was not very delicious." She glanced at Achilles across from her.

"As a Chinese?" Achilles answered flatly.

Jane Ruo was amused, and she didn't know where the joke was. It might be because she drank a little wine, and all the bad mood in the afternoon was forgotten at this moment: "—Yes, as a Chinese."

"Oh, it's understandable." He smiled, with a different kind of deep meaning in his words, "—she makes people dream, doesn't she?"

"What?" Jian Ruo couldn't keep up with his train of thought.

"China." Achilles raised his face and looked at Jian Ruo.

This is a man who knows how to get people to like him - he's a natural at it, genuine, gentle, with a touch of obsession.Jian Ruo sometimes has an illusion that he knows her very well, and he can easily control her psychology.

It's kind of scary.

When a skilled hunter catches his prey, he always has a [-]-point understanding of his prey before he strikes, but no matter how calm a hunter is, he can't predict how sensitive his prey's intuition is.

In such an environment, men and women staring at each other, like a scene in a movie, Jian Ruo could almost guess what would happen—but when she guessed it, she couldn't help but feel amused and even lost the motivation to keep going.

"It's getting late." She avoided Achilles' eyes, "—back to Oxford?"

……

Maybe Jane Ruo thought too much.

She didn't know what Achilles wanted to do—but she was faintly guarded against him.

The night wind was very gentle, the two got out of the taxi, and Achilles insisted on taking her back.

"It's late, you're not safe by yourself." When he said this, the two of them happened to be standing under the street lamp, and the orange light covered his body and fell on his eyes, staining those blue eyes. There is a layer of warmth.

He is a very nice person.

Jian Ruo hesitated, struggling to define.While she was on guard against Achilles, she felt the charm of this man unavoidably.While she felt that this person was very good, she kept wishing that she would be more sober.

"It's a pity last time," Achilles said slowly, "I couldn't go to that class with you."

Jian Ruo felt a little funny: "Why are you so obsessed with that class?"

"Not obsessed with that class." Achilles' voice was calming, and he looked very serious, "—it should be said that it was a rare class, for Gottlieb Fichte's introduction class——I admire this person very much, so," he stopped and looked at Jian Ruo seriously, with a soft voice, "—I really hope to share it with you."

--yes?

An unknown voice wrote a big question mark in her mind, with a dismissive sneer.

Of course Jian Ruo wouldn't ask that, she smiled and said, "You can share it with me now."

Achilles brushed off the corner of his clothes and seemed to sigh: "Yes, I can."

……

"...Gottlieb Fichte can be said to be the most famous hypnotic genius in Germany in the 19th century. At that time, Germany had just been unified, the industrial revolution, the liberation of the mind, and the natural sciences were in the ascendant. With his excellent hypnotic skills , trying to conduct research on the human brain." Achilles' voice was blown into the wind wave after wave, and his voice had a charm, no matter how boring knowledge, when brought out by such a tone, can make people People can't help but listen carefully.

"Huh? I thought he would try to attack the field of psychology." Jian Ruo looked up at Achilles, with her hands behind her back, and walked slowly.

Achilles glanced at her lightly: "He didn't. Although his research on the human brain is not known to most people, he did come up with a genius idea."

"What idea?"

"It originated from a very interesting thought - you know, the most important foothold of a person lies in memory. A person's status, identity, ability, behavior, and even life are all controlled in memory," Achilles said. After a pause, he turned his face sideways and glanced at Jian Ruo calmly, with a half-smile, "One day, Gottlieb suddenly thought: If he could transplant his memory to another A person, hypnotize this person so that he has all his own memories, including those knowledge and technology, so is this person Gottlieb? Or that person himself?"

Like a heavy hammer, taking advantage of the darkness, it hit her body calmly - mercilessly, like a warning from the bell of fate, but she didn't understand what happened... What happened?what is happeningWhat's about to happen?

A man is like a blind man in front of fate.

Jian Ruo trembled for a while, and she didn't understand why she was trembling. There was a seeking light in her eyes, like the most devout believer, pouring out all her doubts to the gods she believed in, praying for the last Result: "... the result? The result of the experiment, what is it?"

Achilles raised his lips.

Deep and bottomless, the vortex of the ocean hides in the darkest places, waiting to devour everything at any time.

He opened his mouth softly: "——Finally..."

"Good evening, both of you. Are you going to blow the cold wind here all night?" A deep voice sounded in the night, with an indescribable mockery.

Jane Ruo subconsciously trembled, and looked towards the source of the sound - there was no doubt that it was Sherlock.

She pursed her lips.

"—what are you doing here, Sherlock?"

Sherlock Holmes, who was about to take a step towards his dear roommate, was stopped for 0.3 seconds by this silly and obviously indifferent words, he sneered: "You bought the passage of this road Right - I think it's perfectly reasonable to show up at your door."

Jian Ruo choked up and stopped talking.

"Well, it seems that you had a very pleasant afternoon." He stopped in front of the two people, and finally condescended to look at Achilles next to him, "—Greek, family background Wealthy, rich in love history, excess hormones, philosophy? - Arrogant, strong desire to control, obsessive-compulsive disorder, good at disguising, superb deception - Oh, Jane, what a good choice, isn't it?" He glanced at Jian Ruo indifferently.

Jian Ruo was almost stunned.

She grabbed Sherlock's arm and looked at Achilles with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry—"

"No." Achilles smiled slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly. "—this is very interesting, isn't it?" He held out a hand. "I've heard you well, Mr. Holmes."

Shylock closed his expression, frowned slightly, and stared at Achilles with sharper eyes.

He didn't move, Jian Ruo looked at Achilles' outstretched hand and felt that he was about to commit embarrassment.

Achilles didn't care, he withdrew his hand very naturally.

"We should go. Jane. I didn't bring the key." Sherlock glanced at Jian Ruo quickly, held Jian Ruo's hand behind his back, and pulled her back without hesitation.

Jane Ruo didn't have the slightest ability to resist, so she could only look back at Achilles as if apologetic, and hurriedly said "sorry" and "goodbye" to the other party.

The other party nodded at her very gentlemanly, and waved to her.

Jian Ruo felt sorry for Achilles more and more. She looked at others, and then at her own cat, only to feel more headache. The contrast effect couldn't be more obvious. She sighed with a headache, and was squinted by Sherlock. Immediately put on a serious face · I don't know anything · smile.

Sherlock didn't speak, still holding Jian Ruo's hand, but his pace slowed down slightly.

The lights on both sides of the road shone on them alternately, and the shadows were shallow and deep, interlaced and merged.

Achilles stood there quietly, without any extra expression, still wearing that meaningless smile, and after a long time, he turned around and left, his answer that no one listened to, just like that, dissipated in the wind.

"Finally, after countless experiments, he finally discovered..."

Finally found what?He didn't continue, but slowly walked into the distance, into the dark distance that couldn't be seen clearly.
