Wanda was still a little confused when the alarm clock rang, but when she opened her eyes she immediately realized where she was.
The floor of the room was not as cold as is common in winter. The expected air-conditioning from the soles of her feet to her brain did not appear. The air in the room was warm and moist. Thanks to the hard work of the floor heating and humidifier, she did not experience dry skin after getting up.
The state of molting. She stretched lazily, and then there was a knock on the door. She froze like a clockwork doll whose work was interrupted. "Wanda, we are ready to go.
Salomon's voice came from behind the door, "Quick, the gunship is already hovering upstairs. We have to set off before dawn!"
"Wait! I'm not dressed yet!"
"I told you not to sleep without clothes..." Salomon's voice gradually faded away.
Wanda jumped out of bed with a blush on her face, and hurriedly put on the uniform lying aside. This was a new uniform, and the clothes she wore for yesterday's operation were still in the laundry basket of her apartment. She
Cursing in a low voice, she couldn't understand why Salomon still had the energy to get up after making such a big fuss with the witch last night, and even had the energy to run over to urge her. After washing, she ate a few bites of breakfast, and then got dressed.
Neatly Salomon walked out the door.
The scream of the gunship engine and the strong wind caused her to hold down her hair to prevent the simple bun that Dinah had tied for her from being blown away. Salomon was too lazy to open the portal, so the gunship was able to sail outside the atmosphere.
The aircraft has become a standard means of transportation - this fully armed gunship can leave the earth, sail in a secondary orbit unique to ballistic missiles, and deliver passengers to the target location in a very short time. At the same time, it has an extremely advanced anti-reconnaissance system.
It can also make the U.S. Air Force radar go blank, completely unable to capture the location of the gunship.
"My lord." The android in charge of security operations stood on the ramp fully armed and saluted Salomon. What Wanda didn't expect was that she saw the Imperial Guards in golden armor also here. Constantine
Standing aside in silence, he only reacted after Salomon came up. Salomon nodded to him, and then said loudly to Wanda who was following behind him, "You still have three hours of sleep.
, I hope you take advantage of this time to have a good rest."
"You haven't said what we are going to do!" The ramp hatch gradually closed, blocking out the engine noise.
Wanda quickly fastened her seat belt, and then she felt a strong pulling feeling, squeezing her on Salomon's shoulder. She couldn't see clearly what was outside the thick armored cabin, but she knew that soon
After that, the ablative armor outside will generate unimaginable high temperatures due to the friction of the atmosphere. That kind of acceleration is not something humans can bear, but the driver will not think so much. The so-called "good rest" is actually a joke. Any ride
Ordinary humans in the gunship can't take a good rest.
But there are no ordinary people in this gunship. Not the androids, not the Praetorian Guards, not Salomon, and neither is she. Professor Salomon's temporary physical enhancement spell was cast, and then she barely stopped it.
Her desire to vomit prevented her from fainting due to acceleration.
"London, my arrangement has failed." Salomon became a little irritated when he mentioned this matter, but at the same time he was a little relieved. "I didn't expect that the detective could find something that shouldn't be investigated in such a short period of time.
place, and now the vampires in the London sewers have begun to act."
"who?"
"This is not something you can know, Wanda." Salomon gave her a meaningful look, "In short, we are going to start a massacre today. Before that, we have to get someone out of the police station.
Come out and deal with all this before MI6 reacts. The London Temple has already taken action, and our inside line in MI6 can help us delay for twelve hours."
"You want to act with us?" Wanda asked.
"No, I have to meet someone." Salomon felt a little unhappy when he thought of this person.
The reason why the inner line of the Eternal City was delayed for twelve hours was because of this man's acquiescence, and the reason why Sherlock Holmes was able to escape Salomon's plan and reach the end point was also because of this man. In the past, Salomon was still at Eton College.
When he was a student, he had a conversation with him under the guidance of the principal. The other party's purpose was to recruit him. After he graduated from university, he would join Whitehall as a civil servant - to be precise, he would join MI6 and work in depth.
Politicians do intelligence work among themselves. Salomon rarely mentioned that conversation to others because it was the only guy he had ever encountered who could compete with him on an intellectual level - he bluntly pointed out that the other person was casual.
He dropped a bunch of fish hooks with no hope of catching any fish, and even the real bait was hung on the hooks in the dark. The reason why he came to find him was because he had an affair with the royal family at a banquet held at a classmate's house.
The little princess chatted happily and wanted to develop herself into an informant.
Salomon did not ask the Guards to follow him to a meeting, but asked them to complete the task. And he jumped down from the ramp hatch, and then appeared with a flash of light somewhere outside London.
In an abandoned building, Salomon adjusted his cuffs. The man hiding in the darkness in front of him could be said to be his mentor to a certain extent, such as his taste in suits. Because of this, Salomon specifically selected
Wear a suit to attend this meeting.
"I didn't expect you to meet me in this place."
"Are you still angry because of my past slights, Salomon? Do you think that someone who is directly approached by the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be ignored? No fighter has a chance to get through here today, but I still hear the engine
Sound. Do you still have a fighter jet now?" A man in a suit walked out holding an umbrella. There were no wrinkles on his suit, as if the cold and wet weather in London could not affect his gentlemanly elegance in expressing himself. However, his hair volume followed
It seems extremely worrying. "Is it because of some kind of revenge that I want my curious brother to pursue some unknown secret? Dark blue striped suit and brass
Cufflinks, and Oxford shoes, a good match. When I learned that you were studying science and engineering, I was worried that you would become one of those geeks in vests from MIT!"
"I am giving your brother a broader world." Salomon strode over, "Do you have to be so arrogant, Mycroft Holmes, a clerk in the cabinet? Your behavior is not what you said.
So easy, if I guess correctly, there is a sword in your umbrella."
"You also brought a sword, Mr. Damonette." The man said with a smile, "Am I so dangerous?"
"A person with a gun in the umbrella handle is not qualified to say that." Salomon said, "But I'm not here to argue with you, Mycroft. I need you to help me hide the news."
"I have already done this, but I need you to explain why you want Sherlock to come into contact with vampires." Mycroft poked the concrete floor with the tip of his umbrella, "Don't you know what kind of emotions Sherlock's curiosity will trigger?"
Disaster?"
"I know, and I appreciate your help. But I just want to make him suffer because he has the potential to take on greater responsibilities." Salomon stepped forward and showed that he had no weapons in his hands. "I
Everyone's help is needed, Mycroft, including you. The door that was open to Sherlock Holmes is also open to you."
