Chapter 421: Page 421

"It's so hard for me."

"Big buckle."

"Steamed buns, four for one dollar, hehe~"

Anyway, just take whatever you have and mix them together - well, it's really crazy, it can't help but be crazy.

People who don’t understand will find it crazy, and people who can understand will find it even crazier.

well.

——Standing in such a space, with such “background music”, I look like a super powerful Sequence 1!

Amidst the crazy mumbling, Masha transformed into a guy wearing a robe and a hood with only a cloud of black mist in the hood, and stood in front of "Sherlock Holmes".

When he spoke, his voice sounded majestic and ethereal - after all, this dream was controlled by Masha, so whatever happened was fine.

"I'm looking forward to seeing you."

While speaking, Masha created a feeling of coldness - this was a dream, and it was not difficult to do such a thing.

I just don’t know whether “Sherlock Holmes” will see through that this is actually physical coldness, or will think that it is the spiritual coldness brought about by Masha’s voice.

Holmes shivered--as if Marsha had made him too cold--but Marsha did not intend to correct him, and let Holmes shiver and ask, "Who are you?"

"You are not qualified to pronounce my name yet," Masha said, "so you should just call me Doctor along with those inferior pursuers."

"PhD?"

"Dr. Ying, I should have spread this name widely." said Masha.

In fact, it is not widely spread. In fact, only MI6 has learned directly from Shadow that the head of Shadow is called Dr. Shadow.

But since the organization behind "Sherlock Holmes" was able to arrange the Arab Bronze Hand into the Shadow through a deal between the Shadow and MI6, they must have a fairly high-level "assistant" in MI6.

As expected, Holmes exclaimed, "Are you the leader of the Shadow?"

Masha did not answer this question, but continued to speak according to his own thoughts - this would make him appear arrogant, and being arrogant would make him look more like a superior.

"I've given you the chance to pursue power. Take advantage of it. Whether you take advantage of it or not, I'll come to collect my reward when the time is right."

After Masha finished speaking, he ended the dream on his own.

This sudden ending also shows a kind of contempt for "Sherlock Holmes".

This may cause resentment, but it may also gain respect.

——Just treat it as a lottery with a 50% chance of winning. It would be a waste if you don’t draw.

**

After the dream ended, Masha returned to reality and continued to use the characteristics of the car to monitor "Sherlock Holmes".

As soon as the dream ended, Holmes woke up suddenly. He gasped for breath and looked around.

"Moriarty" asked with concern: "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

"...Ah, yes." Holmes pressed his temple, as if enduring the pain in his brain. "It was a terrible nightmare. I dreamed that Ann - 'Boule de Suif' was cut in two."

Masha thought, this guy is good, he understands that telling part of the truth can make his lies more real.

"Moriarty" looked sympathetic: "What a terrible nightmare, especially for you."

"Yes, it's too terrible for me." "Holmes" turned his head and looked at "Boule de Suif" who was still sleeping, and his expression became gentle.

Masha couldn't tell whether he was determined to be a traitor or not.

——Never mind, I still have to work something on this girl’s head.

The position where Madame Bovary slept made it difficult to hide the hole in the wall.

But this is also very simple to deal with: "Sherlock Holmes" has woken up, and now "Boule de Suif" is the only one sleeping in the whole room.

There is no need to change the position of the wall-penetrating circle, just throw the spinning top.

**

At the same time that Marsha was attacking Boule de Suif, Sherlock Holmes was recalling everything he had experienced in his dream.

——Although I always feel that the person talking to me in the dream was Anna, but that was only in a dream.

——Do the feelings in dreams count?

——But that Anna did have some little moves that belonged to the real Anna...

"Holmes" thought about it and decided to ignore it.

——Has it true that a part of my soul was taken away and preserved in that Peach Blossom Land?

——My current thought is that I can only see half of the shadow?

——Doesn’t that mean that no matter what my subjective intentions are, I am a traitor?

Holmes thought of the two choices Anna gave him in his dream: "Become a traitor to save Anna, and then become traitors together. Or choose loyalty and watch Anna being tortured."

——But think about it carefully. Even if I take the initiative to confess to the old men and choose loyalty, the part of my soul that was extracted by Ying will continue to leak information to Ying!

——The key is that I don’t know which part will be leaked!

——The only solution is to put me in a state where I can’t get any information from any organization. But I’m an SSS-level superpower user and a combatant, so the organization will always have me on the battlefield.

——Once I am asked to go to the battlefield and the order to attack is given to me, it is very likely to be leaked to Ying!

——In the end, I will still become a traitor!

Thinking of this, "Sherlock Holmes" deeply felt that Yingzhen was a terrible organization that was ruthless and ruthless, and their calculations were so thorough!

While lamenting the horror and cruelty of the shadow, "Sherlock Holmes" couldn't help but think of the last video he saw.

I thought of the crazy talking.

And that eerie scene.

——Dr. Shadow... It seems that the person with the ability to send dreams mentioned by "that Anna" is most likely Dr. Shadow himself.

"You are not qualified to recite my name."

"Sherlock Holmes" remembered what Dr. Shadow said again.

——Not qualified to recite... How interesting, I can recite the name of Jehovah directly, but I can’t recite yours?

But when he recalled the weirdness and madness of the whole scene when Dr. Shadow appeared, Sherlock Holmes suddenly felt that maybe it was a good thing that he was not qualified to pronounce his name.

Who knows if your sanity will drop to zero and you will go crazy after chanting it.

It's like playing Cthulhu's tabletop role-playing game. Sometimes low inspiration is a good thing because it prevents you from seeing things you shouldn't see.

"Holmes" once again recalled the scene where Dr. Shadow appeared.

Although he could not understand a word of the rich mutterings coming from the depths of hell, he always felt that they were very dangerous and evil.

——I always feel that this scene will become the source of my nightmares for many days to come.

——Maybe it’s the source of a lifelong nightmare.

Holmes thought of another sentence Dr. Shadow had said: "I have given you the opportunity to pursue power, so take advantage of it. Whether you take advantage of it or not, I will come to collect my reward at the right time."

——This is so weird. He was just forcing me to save Anna.

——Why did he say that it was a chance for me to become stronger?

——If I can merge Anna into one and restore her to her original form, can I also become stronger?

——I'll collect the reward at the right time. I acted as a traitor and passed on information, but Dr. Ying didn't regard it as a reward?

"Sherlock Holmes" thought he was quite smart, but he was puzzled by Dr. Ying's words.

——No, that’s not right. Actually, I already have an idea, but I just don’t dare to face it.

Holmes thought so, and his heart began to beat violently.

——I remember that the intelligence briefing given by the old man mentioned that Americans speculated that the gods in mythology are actually powerful beings with super powers and they really exist.

——Americans also believe that the shadow has resurrected Jesus.

Holmes felt as if a part of his brain was screaming, saying over and over again, "Stop thinking about this."

But he continued to think.

——The Chinese discovered that Jesus was born at the end of the Dharma Ending Age, and was probably just a person with average super powers. It was just that mortals at that time no longer had super powers, so people regarded him as a god.

——In older times, those with super powers who were regarded as gods must have been many times more powerful than Jesus.

——Perhaps the abilities they possess are almost as great as those of real gods.

Holmes felt his hands trembling slightly.

A real god?

The omnipotent gods of the mythological era might have a way to put themselves into a deep sleep and wait for the spiritual energy to revive before waking up.

They might even simply change their form and continue walking on the land where the spiritual energy has become thinner.

My thoughts are becoming clearer!

——That Peach Blossom Spring should be the place where gods, the super-powered people from the mythological era, sleep.

——And Ying is the believer of this super-powered person, his church, and his apostle!

——I understand everything!

Holmes tried his best to suppress his inner emotions so as not to let "Moriarty" see any clues.

Shadow is actually an organization controlled by such a being!

No wonder even the powerful old men can’t catch Ying’s fox tail!

No wonder they seem to know everything about the revival of spiritual energy!

As for why Ying is always one step ahead in chess, maybe Dr. Ying - that great being whose name I cannot yet call directly - can see through fate and even directly control it!

——Ah, how powerful!

——Such a powerful being said that he gave me a way to become stronger? And he also said that he was looking forward to seeing me?

——I understand!

——The road is under your feet!

"Sherlock Holmes" is a "Catholic who doesn't go to church" and religion has long been downplayed in his life.

But as a white man living in Europe, it was impossible for him not to be influenced by Catholicism.

Moreover, in the process of development, Europeans have relied on nature for their livelihood most of the time, so they are naturally more pious than the agricultural people in the East who believe that man can conquer nature.

They have an innate fear of God.

When Sherlock Holmes thought that the person he was talking to might be a real god - or something close to a god, he was filled with awe.

**

As for Masha, he successfully entered the dream of Boule de Suif, that is, Anna.

With Anna, he was going to take a different tack.

He created a dream for Anna: Anna dreamed that she was chasing a person who looked exactly like herself. The person looked back at Anna while running, with a creepy smirk on his face.

On both sides of the road the two chased were phantoms showing various tragic futures for Anna.

Of course, those tragic futures were made up by Masha using his imagination. In fact, if you look closely, you will find that many of them are unreliable.

For example, there is a future illusion in which Anna is cut to the death line by Ryougi Shiki's sword and then dies.

For example, in another future, Anna becomes the Joker and fights wits and courage with Batman.

But Anna, the fierce "reader" who was sleeping, had no time to pay attention to these things.

She has been chasing the self in front of her.

In this way, Masha tried to imprint the idea of ​​"having to catch up" into Anna's mind through dreams.

——I’m not sure if it will work.

——But I think that my extraordinary intelligence should be able to play some role in this regard and help me achieve the results I want.

If this is really done, when "Sherlock Holmes" starts to persuade Anna, he and Anna will "hit it off".

Masha happily imagined the scene when his plan would be completely successful.
