22-1B Baker Street, belonging to Sherlock's home and workshop. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Yuru, Sherlock and Dior gathered in front of the coffee table. This operation was for nothing else, but for the selection of the "D-10" combat department. Dio thanked the council for the decision, and Sherlock, who originally refused to join the "D-10", decided to join the War Department after the affairs of Sir Blois. But in exchange, Dio sent someone to help her get to the bottom of the case when needed.

"Sherlock, the head of the command department, Yuru, the head of the logistics department, and me from the war department, are you going to be the detailed personnel... Sherlock, do you know any of the more famous strange guys?" Dior asked with a grimace as he threw the list of candidates on the table.

"The Sean I met yesterday, there are a lot of legends about him... But after all, others are people who are going to get married, and I asked Sophia to come here at night just to convince her about this. ”

"No need, he doesn't have the capital to join the War Department now," Dio shook his head, Sean is no longer a "DIO", "His situation is more special, if he wants to, the Logistics Department can still consider it." But the War Department, as I said before, is not enough to only have 'one skill', and the guys on the list are all from military and aristocratic backgrounds. Yuru, what about the list provided by the old immortal of the Ming Kingdom?"

"I screened it and left some of the more suitable candidates, not much different from what you saw last time. I suggest digging up Daria, after all, she doesn't have anything to do in the Soviet Union now," Yuru thought for a moment and said, "The War Department is not involved in secrets, and the inspection of equipment is also done by Dior, so there should be no problem." ”

Dior picked up his pen and wrote it down in his notebook. The ideal candidate is, of course, the stronger the better, and in this regard, Daria is indeed a good candidate. Originally, she still wanted to contact Sixteen Nights, but for some reason the satellite phone couldn't get through, and that person probably wouldn't have suffered any accidents. After abandoning Sixteen Nights, Dio began to look at the candidates for his Ming Empire. The red-haired traveler who knew about the fairyland, a spy of the Ming Empire's West Factory, found her photo in the information after rummaging for a while.

Purple is silent, age unknown. It is considered to be one of the "monsters", but it is actually possessed by some kind of monster, and it has become a state of symbiosis, and it was once a red-haired traveler, and it has been living in human society for more than 300 years. The photo shows a strange little girl with gray hair, whose exact strength is unknown. No matter what kind of attack it receives, it will not bleed or die, and it is a veritable "monster". This power reminded the girl of Laman, the poor creature she had killed so many times.

"Add this guy to the shortlist, if the spy of the West Factory is there, maybe there is something extraordinary," Dior pointed to the photo with his index finger, raised his head and said, "Do you have any requirements from the Ming Empire, such as who must be sent to us or something." As part of the deal, I'll pull this person over. ”

"This kind of thing usually happens, it's this guy, I think you should remember it too," Yuru took out a stack of materials, "The third battalion commander of the Shenji Battalion, Liao Xueqing." When the Ming Empire was on a mission with the Hunter Department, the little girl who was taught a lesson by you. In addition, there is another warrior from the third battalion of the Shenji Battalion, it seems that his name is Mei Kexin, right? Minimum standards have been met. By the way, and John Connor, that's six. ”

What a headache... In this way, except for Dio and Daria, the combined combat power of the rest of the people may not be as good as one Sixteen Nights. The combat effectiveness that the entire team can exert may not be as good as when there are only three people, Daria, Dior, and Sixteen Nights. A large number of people does not mean that it will be easy to carry out the task, among these people, not to mention what role John can play, poor Liao Xueqing, who has little actual combat experience, is almost not counted in the combat effectiveness.

Sullenly throwing down the information, Dior smoked two puffs of his pipe. Zhu Yuanfang's old immortal threw such troublesome things to himself, obviously seeing that Dio just wanted to use "D-10" as a cover to find the location of the fairyland. It is really a good calculation to take this opportunity to throw people who have no combat experience over to train for a while, and then transfer them back after Dio leaves. Dior even suspected that Liao Xueqing really wanted to fight, and it was even less useful than Yuruo. The tragic human-machine relationship between himself and Sherlock is really depressing, why are there no courtesans among them?

“... Maybe there is. Thinking of this, Dio suddenly woke up, glanced at Sherlock, and saw the curly-haired detective cross-legged and looked at Dio proudly.

It seems that this guy is not just trying to pull Sean into the war department, she has already taken into account the network that Sophia has as a descendant of the old British aristocracy. And grandfather Old York was a soldier ... I don't know why the poor public servant who is still serving in his hundreds. He knew many military families, and it was not impossible for him to recruit some talents from the navy and air force.

Of course... That's an ideal situation. I don't know how long ago Old York was back home, and despite still having the rank of Major and being a well-respected veteran, how many people still remember Old York is the biggest problem. Why money and power are inseparable, those who have money will have rights, because people will squeeze to the places where they have money.

It is still unknown whether the aristocracy, which has neither money nor declining power, still has the imaginary network of connections. And he doesn't have decent power and money in his own hands, so it's also a problem for Dior to convince those 'talents' to join him. In this way, I can make myself easier, and it is good that the new recruit of the Ming Empire can also be pushed to others.

But...

"The main question is what kind of mission to perform, not to mention whether the MI6's intelligence is reliable or not, Britain has never paid attention to its own army. If you have a little common sense, just get a ship and report it to the navy, that would be a lot better. Sherlock took a sip from his teacup.

"Don't worry about that, we have a special base of operations," Yuru smiled mysteriously, "a new nuclear-powered submarine secretly built in Liverpool at Soviet expense." The inaugural ceremony was recently held, and the Queen herself named it "Cortana". Displacement 33860 tons. It's a terrifying beast valued at £2 billion, and it looks like the Queen has a lot of expectations for it. ”

"That means you... We're really in the Navy, right, that's easy," Sherlock nodded, "Old York is also in the Navy, and his name can attract a lot of people... Wait, why don't we dig up Old York?"

"I was about to talk about it. ”

Dio picked up a book and shook it in front of Sherlock's eyes.

"He's been in the service for so long that there's nowhere to poach him unless he wants to. "Cortana", like "Carlibar", only needs to be used by one person to function, and has an extremely cutting-edge A.I. and firearms control system, so in order to prevent incidents like "Carlibar", I would like to request that the personnel be reduced to a minimum. To put it simply, there will only be members of the War Department on board. Other than that... We also need some drivers to position the VTOL. ”

"It's... Is it possible? What can a person do with that?" Sherlock looked surprised.

"Because most of the space is used to load experimental equipment and training grounds, there are not many places to live. It can be said that "Cortana" and "Carlibar" are completely different, and it can be said that it can be said to be an underwater aircraft carrier. The speed can reach 50 knots, and it is impossible for an ordinary torpedo to touch us in the slightest. ”

"How could you make something like this... Humanity is really getting more and more advanced in how efficient it is to self-destruct. Sherlock sighed.

Dior, who was rummaging through the information of the candidates, accidentally caught a glimpse of a strange document. The case was filed recently, and there was no photo of himself on that photo, just a silhouette of a Fox mask. She paused for a moment, turning her gaze to the name column, only to see that there was only a letter "V" written there, and she picked up the information and handed it to Sherlock and Yuru.

"Do you know this guy?"

"Ah, a former member of the Skull and Bones Society," Sherlock replied after thinking for a moment, "he used to be a cadre of the Skull and Bones Society, but he was immediately abandoned by the Skull and Bones Society after being captured, and without the slightest hesitation, it seemed that his whole body was festering, and he had lost most of his functions as a human, but I don't know why he didn't die, so he was hired by the army to work as a coolie." Skeletons will change again, which is a good thing for us. ”

"Skeletons will change?"

"Yes, Rahman Whitney was the current Skull and Bones Guild President when you and Yuru returned to London, but not long after, after the Avar incident, Rahman Whitney was nowhere to be found. The Skull and Bones Society has changed its ruler again, and I haven't heard the Skull and Bones Society's actions for so long because the internal changes are too frequent, and now I can't even manage my own people. Or maybe it's doing something nasty... Still, I'll say one thing. ”

Sherlock held out his index finger and crossed the name of John Connor on the list.

"Your brother better kick him out, maybe contact with the skeleton is an order from the top, but he does a lot of things that the top doesn't order him. ”

"I KNOW," DIOR REPLIED VERY CALMLY, "THAT HALF OF THE CHILDREN KIDNAPPED FROM ROMANIA BY THE MANCHESTERS ARE STILL MISSING, AND THAT JOJO KNOWS WHAT HE DID IN THE UNITED STATES DURING HIS TIME AWAY FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM." ”

"Now that you know, you're going to..."

"Sherlock, make no mistake," Dio immediately interrupted her questioning, "If you want justice, you have to put your body down first, you are not a savior." Even if you will save everyone you see, don't think that those you have helped have been saved. Sir Blois, I think you probably know the result. ”

The curly-haired detective turned his face away and closed his mouth. At this time, the doorbell rang, and Dior collected the papers on the table, and then stood up.

"Alright, the girls' meeting is about to begin. ”
