[Comprehensive] Baker Street Survival Guide

A very simple action has been extended for a long time in the room.Joanna felt that the wound was slightly itchy from being rubbed with a cotton swab.Immediately after applying iodine, a slight stinging pain occurred.

It's like a person who has been numb for a long time suddenly realizes the exact existence of pain.Joanna struggled a bit, and subconsciously pulled out her hand.

Too late, really too late!

"No matter what happens, take care of the wound first. I've seen people die from a tiny wound."

"I've seen it too! But it's in the textbook, not now, and not me." Joanna shook her head helplessly, "This wound will heal soon, and I will be fine."

"Sherlock is back, and he will help you too. If you don't trust me, you can talk to Sherlock." Mycroft didn't insist, he changed the subject.

"It's not that everything needs to be done with all your strength. If there is such a day...even if you two brothers help together, it will be useless."

"I thought you were an atheist." Mycroft frowned. He didn't like hearing such pessimistic ideas from Joanna.And... the temperature that was just getting used to in his hands left him, and Joanna stood up. She was obviously touched, but she still had to act as if nothing had happened.

"I don't think it makes any sense. You just don't want to believe my judgment. The first description I knew about you was that you obviously have powerful reasoning skills, but you have never been willing to go out to work, or even to verify it. I'm really sure of my guess..."

"You still think so now?"

Joanna shook her head too.As if she had already seen through Mycroft, she made a somewhat embarrassing conclusion: "You are afraid of the truth now. But whether you are afraid or not, there is only one answer. Done."

Joanna will never see her father again.She would gradually distance herself from the people she knew, the people she cared about, just so that when the final day came, even a little bit of heartbreak would be lessened.

"what about me?"

"What?" Joanna didn't respond immediately.

"What is it that you haven't finished yet?...I don't know your wish yet."

Mycroft's question was swallowed.Joanna could hear the difference from the number of words, but that didn't mean she had the guts to ask about the content of that sentence.And... Mycroft wouldn't say it a second time, she knew it.

"I thought the memory palace would be a good place to start. I know a friend who has this gift, and that's the third person I've ever met besides you and Sherlock. Then I met The fourth person who has a memory palace, he learned this way of storing memories under the guidance of my friend... So I thought, maybe you can guide me to complete this construction."

The friend Joanna was talking about was Will, and the other was Hannibal.

It's a very close mentoring relationship, on a spiritual level, co-casting some of the same attributes.

Joanna had read a psychoanalysis report on Hannibal, as well as the novel when Will lost his memory.The coincidence of some intentions solved the mystery of the memory palace for Joanna to a certain extent.She believes that there is some link between them, helping the two people's hearts to be closer.

That's what she wants to do.If she did leave, maybe she could leave more traces in Mycroft's memory palace.

"Although you still have some misunderstandings about the way the memory palace is formed, I think I can still provide these help." Mycroft was not particularly happy, he was more inclined that this was a kind of compensation for Joanna's guilt, yes Joanna's legacy, of course, is also Joanna's recourse to protect Mr. Heard after her death.

"I will be discharged from the hospital in three days. I will take over some work one after another, and you will be appointed as one of my assistants. But this is different from Cynthia's division of labor. I assume this is no problem for you."

Joanna nodded without hesitation. "Of course there is no problem."

But immediately, she thought of her father, the job at mi6 would not completely bypass Mr. Hilde.This is probably contrary to her original intention.

Mycroft had already seen through all this before Joanna spoke, and he made a thoughtful promise: "I will make sure for you, Mr. Hilde won't find you here."

Joanna laughed at the assurance.She could almost see the backside of Mycroft's promise. He had to hide from Mr. Hilde every day, and it was an established fact that he was interrogated and tortured.

Even though he knew it was a big trouble, he was still willing to do it all.

Joanna had to admit she was a little moved.She had almost said all she had to say.Before leaving, there was one thing that made Joanna hesitate.

——In this case, should there be a kiss when parting?

As soon as this idea appeared, Joanna classified it as the top secret. She controlled her expression, trying to prevent Mycroft from seeing her thoughts.

But this is not a secret that can be kept for long.Joanna also stood beside the bed unconsciously.

"Is there... anything else?" This time it was Mycroft's turn to be confused.He listed some possibilities, but still didn't think of the top priority.

"Well...it's okay." Joanna shook her head perfunctorily.She grabbed the skirt, her eyes wandered around, and after a long circle, she finally landed on Mycroft again: "I can pick you up when you leave the hospital... And, thank you for your help."

As soon as Joanna finished speaking, she took a step forward at a lightning speed. She bent down and pressed a kiss on Mycroft's lips with precise landing.

"Mr. Holmes..." Someone almost broke open the door, and several security guards rushed in.

You see, that's why Joanna hesitated.It is almost never possible to be truly alone, and even if the content of the conversation is not monitored, there will be dynamic pictures that will be closely watched to ensure that Mycroft will not be assassinated again.

But... this also means that there is no privacy.

"Nothing, please go out first."

——Mycroft actually didn't need to say this sentence, which had exactly the opposite effect.The security personnel are also human beings, and there are hardly any special emotions on their faces, but Joanna observes more subtle, whether it is her psychological effect or not, she feels that these people have a sense of guilt for destroying Mycroft's good deeds .

The people who poured into the room receded quickly like a tide.

"A big surprise... maybe you are here to test the quality of my security?"

Mycroft didn't keep Joanna in such embarrassment.He gave an excuse. At this time, there is only one excuse. No matter whether it is clumsy or not, Joanna will use it immediately.

"You're always right. This time I really should go."

Joanna walked quickly to the door. In the past half an hour, her state of mind had undergone a huge change. She was fluttering like someone was flying a kite. In the end, all the kites flew away, and Joanna's heart changed instead. deal.

"Of course, this can also be just an ordinary farewell kiss. I've always been very sorry... When I was collecting your field data, a video was removed. Goodbye."

The door of the room was closed.Mycroft took a moment to digest Joanna's last words.He had a rather dumbfounding feeling.Some negative mood seems to be taken away.But about Joanna's good wish... this is what he needs to consider carefully.

Joanna, who walked out of the hospital, didn't think about where to live for a while.Harry had said goodbye to Eggsy, and he didn't know what the discussion between Joanna and Mycroft had turned out.But the moment the security guard rushed into the ward, Harry admitted that he did have some concerns.

Now, he and Joanna are walking on the path full of sunshine and fragrance of flowers in the hospital.The gravel road is not very easy to walk.But none of this compares to Joanna's remorseful expression.

"I'm so stupid! I forgot such a simple thing..." Joanna said to herself first.

Harry didn't answer her, he knew Joanna was speaking to him.If there was anything that Joanna was embarrassed to say directly, it must be something Harry didn't really want to know.

Joanna complained for a while, she took a sneak look at Harry, but he didn't respond.

Very good, I can only say clearly.Even if this request makes her look a little malicious.

"I've been living alone since today."

"It depends on who you want me to protect. Merlin will arrange for new people to protect them separately." Harry replied in a business-like manner.

But if he thought that Qiao An'an would be too embarrassed to speak up if he did this, then he was very wrong.

"I don't want to live in a safe house anymore. I thought there might be a place for me in your place." Sounds like a high school girl talking to her best friend about staying overnight.But they all know that this is not such a simple problem at all, such as Mr. Mycroft who is coveting, and Mr. Hilde who loves his daughter like his life.

"I can arrange a hotel for you."

"But I hope to live in a place where acquaintances often live and have a sense of life."

"May I ask the reason behind this request?" Harry could almost imagine Eggsy being rowdy after he let Joanna live in his house.But these assumptions don't make much sense. On the one hand, he can't stop what Joanna wants to do, and on the other hand... it's not his home that Joanna wants to live in.

Just like an old man doesn't want to die in a nursing home, Joanna doesn't want to leave alone in a strange place... She wants to answer Harry's question.

But Harry was listening to the news provided by Merlin in the communication.

The room is already settled.There is no kind landlord behind this, a fairy godmother who cares about Joanna, only Mycroft who is sick in bed, he thought of everything, this timely addition also saved Harry from the embarrassment of rejecting Joanna.

"I think there's a place that fits all your requirements. In fact...it's a house on the outskirts of London. It's beautiful, well-secured, and most importantly...the house was previously inhabited— — an acquaintance." Harry reported an address.

He saw a knowing look on Joanna's face.This meant she knew who the owner of that address was.

"Sounds like a very good place." Joanna gave a dry cough, walked to the end of the path with her hands behind her back, and got into Harry's car.

Looking at his protected object, Harry seemed to understand what Eggsy was stuck in.On this issue, Eggsy seemed to understand better.

These two are in a relationship, why do they have to be so exciting... so euphemistic and profound!
