Sherlock looked silently at Ms. Irisviel, who was waving to him, and then turned to look at the chaotic mist outside the train window, a little suspicious that he might not have woken up.
He should be on a spaceship heading to other planets at this time, not in the carriage of the galactic train.
Earlier, Sherlock, as a "Vault Hunter", defeated a careerist named "The Laughing Bat" on a planet called "Pandora" and subdued the Vault Guard summoned by him.
Watson".
Yes, Watson, that planet is full of familiar strangers who bear the names of contestants in the Triwizard Tournament, but have completely different personalities and abilities.
However, if you analyze carefully, you can still find some subtle connections between these "impostors" and "the real person".
Such as IQ.
Therefore, when the giant dragon named Watson fell and his consciousness merged with the "little noisy Watson" who had been following him, Sherlock was not surprised at all.
Later, everyone found a cone-shaped "map" in the Great Vault. After activation, it clearly marked the locations of the "Great Vault" on six other planets in an unknown river system.
If this experience is compared to a game, then there is no doubt that this is the beginning of the "sequel" or "DLC".
Since Sherlock has a lot of high-level knowledge that is not what his current strength should understand, he still has some ideas about what is going on on this planet and the universe, and whether it is related to the abnormality on the field he saw before.
Maybe... something like a secure backup of computer data?
Finally, after handling various matters on Pandora, he and his companions took off on the "Sanctuary III" and prepared to go to the other six planets with great secrets to find out.
As a result, it became what it is now.
Although with Ms. Irisviel's strength, it would be easy to get him out of that strange universe, it was still a bit disappointing - the loss of not being able to see the follow-up of a book or a game.
"Actually, you should thank me," Ms. Irisviel shook her finger: "Because the drawings are too big, the explorable area in the 'Sequel' has been greatly reduced. There are only one or two maps for each planet, like Pandora
There is no such rich and relatively real planet, and the production team is not strong enough. They want to portray a cosmic villain in the plot but end up with a clown. If you really continue to play, you will face a villain who is cheated by the screenwriter.
, maybe the table will be turned over~"
Hmm...huh? Sherlock felt that there was something in Ms. Irisviel's words, but for the moment he couldn't guess what she wanted to express.
"Don't think too much," Batman, who was sitting on the other side of the car, said, "When you understand what she is implying, you will find that her hints are meaningless."
"Dear?" Ms. Irisviel turned to stare at him.
"You go on." Batman shrugged.
"Is my experience in 'Pandora' related to the 'Triwizard Tournament'? Also, what went wrong on the field? Are the players in danger?" In order to prevent them from continuing to flirt, Sherlock took the initiative to ask.
"Well, of course there is. To sum up, there is an enemy that you must deal with, but you cannot deal with it with your current strength," Ms. Irisviel replied, "so I will kick you out to further your studies.
"
"Not strong enough?" Sherlock looked at the inner pocket of his robe where he kept his wand.
"Surface strength is of no use, at least not to the opponent's leader," Ms. Irisviel shook her head slightly: "Do you still remember the dream you had of defeating your teammates with your own hands? The other party can reproduce it completely."
"Well..." Sherlock did not question this. Although the plans to deal with his teammates were only in his mind and did not leave any records in reality, for the subspace that "does not exist", anything can happen.
, maybe there is someone who steals the plan that has not been put on paper?
"But don't worry," Ms. Irisviel clapped her hands to interrupt his thoughts: "That guy really wanted to control and possess your friends through your plan, but that operation has been ruined."
"Thank you." Sherlock looked at Batman.
"Tsk--" Batman pursed his lips and made an unpleasant sound: "It has nothing to do with me."
"How come it's irrelevant?" Ms. Irisviel looked at him and smiled: "He came to find your 'old enemy'. After all, wherever there is Batman, there is - huh huh~"
The flames of gossip about his old enemy Shylock were slightly ignited.
"Listen, Sherlock," Batman didn't seem to want to continue talking about that topic: "Things have changed, and we can't let you 'pass' safely, because 'that guy' is no longer something I can solve with one shot.
Already."
"Two shots then?" Sherlock responded subconsciously.
"..." Batman stared at Sherlock silently.
"Ah ha ha ha ha -" Ms. Irisviel laughed while lying on Batman's shoulder, patting his back hard with her hand.
"He didn't know about the 'two shots', it was just a coincidence." Batman's mouth tightened, his body straight and motionless.
"Okay, what do you need me to do?" Sherlock, who was just showing off his wits but didn't expect the results to be extraordinary, spread out his hands.
"Actually, we don't know," Ms. Irisviel wiped her eyes and sat back down: "If we know what you are going to do, then 'that guy' will also know."
"If you mention his name, will he hear it immediately?" Sherlock frowned. This is the subspace. He can still have this level of authority here. His strength is comparable to that of Bai Xing, the lord of the ocean dimension. Can he be the only one?
Can a little wizard who hasn't graduated yet solve it?
"It's not that strong," Ms. Irisviel shook her head: "However, unless the witness or recorder of an event never leaves the subspace, he will definitely be found by following the clues."
"Well, then?" Sherlock felt a slight chill on his spine, feeling a bit like listening to horror stories when he was a child.
"Nothing, I'm essentially an assassin 'Assassin'. It's common to switch from sneak attacks to violent attacks during operations, but the problem is that once the operation is detected in advance, it will always be his 'double' who is assassinated in the end." Batman used
He said in an unpleasant tone.
"That……"
"So, you are now going to a world that is closer to the 'origin' than 'Pandora', and find a power that you cannot counter even if 'that guy' knows in advance that you are going to attack him," Ms. Irisviel clapped her hands.
, stood up: "Are you ready to go to the next stop?"
"...Ready." Sherlock was very sure that even if she said she wasn't ready, she wouldn't stop.
call--
The next second, everything in front of Sherlock's eyes was completely frozen. The train, the windows, the seats, Ms. Irisviel waving to start the train, and Batman, who seemed to have noticed something and was about to get up, all stopped as if the pause button had been pressed.
.
This is... what it was like when I took the "Zeppelin Train" for the first time?
It turns out that the much more advanced Galaxy Train also has this problem.
so now……
Before Sherlock could figure out the reason, in the next second, everything frozen in front of him began to lose color and reality.
It was as if a color photo first turned into a black and white portrait, then into a practice sketch, and then degenerated into a simple drawing with only a few strokes. Finally, everything disappeared, leaving only a blank space in front of his eyes.
After a short pause, an old male voice slowly sounded:
