Under the leadership of Xi Tiansi, Aiwas and Yassen quickly walked through the Hall of Mirrors.
It wasn't running or flying.
They just walked slowly forward behind Xi Tiansi, but the world around them changed step by step.
It was as if they were filming some kind of music video, and there was even a dancing piano.
After only a dozen steps, they arrived in a room that was almost the same as before.
Sherlock's posture was exactly the same as before - he was holding his forehead and thinking seriously.
"Please look," Xi Tiansi stretched out his hand gracefully, "the person you are looking for is right here."
Hearing the sound, Sherlock suddenly woke up.
He frowned and looked over.
After seeing clearly that the visitors were Aiwass and Yassen, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But instead of standing up to greet the two of them, Sherlock leaned back on the chair and said in a calm and melodious tone: "Long time no see, gentlemen."
It was like he was sure from the very beginning that Aiwass would come to save him—and would find him.
He believed so firmly that there would be no surprises or surprises at all.
He just stood up and saluted politely and sincerely, but his calm eyes became brighter, and the corners of his mouth also had a slightly invisible arc: "Thank you very much for coming to save me."
——This is indeed how a real Sherlock should react.
Aiwass breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Sherlock after a long time, Yassen should have been very talkative.
It's just that the most emotional part has been said once before. Now if I rehearse it from memory, it will have a subtle feeling of reciting the lines. It is a little more embarrassing for no reason.
"Thanks to Xi Tiansi for leading the way, otherwise it would be really hard to find it."
Aiwass nodded in the direction of Xi Tiansi and looked at the "real Sherlock" carefully: "It seems... you haven't suffered any grievances. Mycroft also thinks that you are going to be silenced."
It’s over.”
"After all, you are working in a dream and eating in the material world. How can you be wronged?"
Sherlock sighed: "Brother, he is always too worried about me. The only harm is probably that I only eat and sleep during this period. In order to supplement brain nutrition, I also eat high-calorie and highly nutritious food. As a result, I am now very fat.
It’s almost five kilograms—I think this is probably a work-related injury.”
"Work... instead of prison?"
"At most it is considered house arrest. But if this level is considered imprisonment, then everyone who goes to work in the company is being imprisoned."
Sherlock sighed helplessly: "After all, I took on this job voluntarily - I didn't expect it to be so troublesome. But it's okay for me. Such a challenging job is quite interesting.
And my boss respects me very much. The only problem is that my boss doesn't seem to want me to get off work, and he doesn't let me contact the outside world...otherwise, I wouldn't have written to you for help until now.
"
"It's quite normal. The resignation procedures for ordinary workers are quite difficult, especially when you can't find someone to take over the job."
Aiwasrui commented: "But it's a bit too much to let people go even during the red and white holidays. Is he afraid that you won't come back? Then let me guarantee it for you?"
Hearing this, Sherlock glanced at Aiwass subtly.
He glanced at Yassen again and asked with almost certainty: "Aiwass knows his mother's surname - you told him."
Sherlock knows Aiwass very well.
When this guy was not in charge of ministers, he was provoked by Lloyd's. His first reaction was to take down Lloyd's. His maid was hired to murder by one of the founding fathers, so he went directly to take down the maid.
The founder of the country was killed; his sister was targeted by people from Noble Red, so he directly killed the entire top management of Noble Red.
Although he always smiles and looks very gentle...Aiwass is unexpectedly ruthless and impatient when dealing with incidents. If killing one person can make the problem settle smoothly without leaving any consequences, he will usually be decisive.
Take action.
And now he has become stronger... But when he encountered this case, he did not choose to kill Duke Vendôme's entire family immediately...
One of the reasons may be that he and Yasen have become good friends, and he has to worry about his friend's feelings...
Another reason was probably that he knew his true life experience - and that Anne de Vendôme, who was suspected to be his mother, was now in the residence of the Duke of Vendôme.
That's why Aiwass was patient and picked up his brain after a long time to seriously solve the problem fundamentally. Instead of directly adopting the simplest method to deal with it... that is, "If you don't understand, forget it, kill them all anyway."
This model.
This is just like Sherlock's previous evaluation of Aiwass: This vixen has a good brain, but he is too lazy to use it.
But this kind of laziness...is not because Aiwass is simple-minded, but because he always has an alternative plan in mind, which is to kill someone.
Sherlock had done psychological profiling on Aiwass before.
Although Aiwass is a good man with a gentle and kind personality, a sense of justice, and a strong sense of responsibility and sacrifice. But he has a certain degree of moral deficiency in the aspect of "the weight of life". Just like Aiwass.
He has never considered killing something important and unforgivable... It would be better to say that Aiwass was actively looking for "reasons to kill."
Sherlock believes that Aiwass is actually deliberately looking for trouble.
Just like a beautiful girl carrying a sword and walking alone in an unsafe alley at night - the purpose is to kill someone when she encounters someone with evil intentions towards her.
Although he didn't know why, Sherlock clearly felt that Aiwass had the desire to kill in his heart. But this desire was not indiscriminate killing... He had no interest in innocent people or the weak, but he was interested in those who were hostile, especially those who were hostile.
Strong people are full of "initiative".
Like a spider, it lays empty traps to kill mosquitoes and flies.
——It's like he can get some irreplaceable benefit from this hunting behavior.
Only in this way can we explain the logic of Aiwass' behavior, which seemed to deliberately make things worse and to take the initiative to touch other people's conspiracies and traps with great interest.
When Aiwass went to the Theocracy, Sherlock felt that Aiwass's desire was even stronger. One of the reasons why he left Aiwass to do the mission was because he saw that his recognized friend was so paranoid in this regard.
And a little upset.
Sherlock is not the kind of person who likes to nag and educate others, and Aiwass kills all bad people, even people who "have to kill"... Therefore, Sherlock never expresses his inner thoughts.
come out.
However, during this period of time, I don’t know what happened to Aiwass...
But now when he saw Aiwass again, Sherlock felt that Aiwass didn't seem to be so eager to "kill people".
This made Sherlock very happy.
Sherlock had previously emphasized the sentence "The Grand Duke was very kind to him", which was actually to prevent Aiwass from killing them all conveniently after he went out.
"--Yes."
Yassen nodded, confirming Sherlock's guess: "Vendôme—I was quite surprised at first."
"Does the Duke of Vendôme know about this?" Aiwas asked.
"He can't possibly know."
Sherlock replied affirmatively.
As he said that, the corners of Mr. Detective's mouth slightly raised: "If he wrote to tell you, then I wouldn't be able to see the fun. It's just a pity... you still met Yassen. Otherwise, I would be here to tell you in person now.
This matter——I missed a good show."
As he said this, Sherlock's face showed a look of genuine regret.
He is really looking forward to this rare high-quality fun!
Sherlock has always been a fun-loving person, but he has never liked to use other people's pain as food. Under such moral standards, it is actually difficult to find a lot of fun. For example, he doesn't like telling hell jokes - that's even more
Needless to say his friend's fun!
If this fun belongs to Aiwass, then its gold content can be multiplied at least three times - no, five times!
Thinking of this, Sherlock suddenly thought of something.
He looked at Yasen and asked with interest: "Why are you so silent today, Yasen? Is it because Aiwass is here and you are stressed in front of strangers?"
