Minutes and seconds passed.

By the time William sent the last man away, Sherlock and Watson still hadn't returned, seeing that the watch on the wall had shown zero o'clock and Christmas had passed, William sent Aunt Hudson back to his room to rest, while he himself sat on the couch and waited for Sherlock and Watson to return.

At this time, light snow began to fall in the sky again, and all that was left of Baker Street was the bright street lamps along the road, and when the snow fell, the snowflakes were clearly visible.

William opened the window, and a cold wind blew away the heat in the room.

"Some people say that snowflakes are the blessings that angels sprinkle on the earth."

Suddenly, a person appeared beside William, his body seemed to be condensed with gray smoke, and it seemed a little empty, but as he spoke, his figure became clearer and clearer, until he became exactly like a human, he smiled at William, and said gentlemanly and elegantly, "I feel very presumptuous to visit late at night, but there is one thing I think I can't help but come." ”

Saying this, the visitor smiled again, "I don't think you should remember me, so let me introduce you again, my name is Agares, and we used to have a very good time together a long time ago." ”

Agareth said, reaching out to the ground a little, and the smoke gradually enveloped in a plush chair, which he sat down with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I don't really remember you."

William looked at the inexplicable person and took a step back, ready to open the protective array at any moment.

"You're afraid of me."

Agareth glanced at William with a smile and said, "Don't worry, although I really want to kill you, if I really kill you, then the rest of the day will be boring." ”

"What the hell are you here for?"

William frowned and couldn't help but ask.

"You want to know?" Agareth said, stretching one leg and folding his hands on his knees, "I can tell you, though, I have one request. ”

"What requirements?" William asked.

"When time permits, you will choose me, how, a very simple thing, you only need to move your mouth." After Agareth finished speaking, he smiled brightly at William, looking extremely sunny.

"Poof!"

As soon as Agares's words fell, a sneer came from the room, and William looked sideways, only to see a completely black man coming out of the black smoke.

"It's ridiculous that you should believe the words of this liar like Agares."

The man's voice was a little hoarse, like a deep cello, which was very beautiful.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be Baal, I didn't expect you to come too, I thought you wouldn't care about this kind of thing." Agareth said, winking at Barr.

"Since you're here, why can't I?"

Barr's tone was cold, but Agareth didn't care at all, "Actually, I don't want to come either, but, those guys found Sidi, since Sidi and they want to ask my little cutie Sidi for help, so why don't I choose myself?" Speaking of this, Agareth stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, looking unsatisfied, "Speaking of which, Sidi is really beautiful." ”

"He doesn't remember anything now, so what's the use of you telling him?" Barr didn't answer Agareth's words, but just glanced at William, his face remained unchanged, and he still said indifferently to Agareth, "Now, you stay away from him." ”

"Could it be that he entrusted this matter to you," Agareth suddenly realized, he looked at Barr's cold face, and then at William's still curious gaze, and smiled suddenly, "You, known as the king of the East, will listen to him." ”

"What position do you have to say about me, who is also bound," Barr said nonchalantly, "at this point, we just have to wait." ”

"Wait?" Agareth blinked, "I've been waiting for a thousand years, and to be honest, the thing I hate the most is waiting, and I prefer to grab it more than wait for it to happen." ”

"I don't want to do it with you, it would be a hassle, but I don't mind doing it with you if you like it."

Barr said, indifferently stretched out his hand, purple thunder and lightning formed in his hand, although it was less than the size of a fist, but at a glance, he knew that the power was very huge, if they fought, this house, I am afraid that in this duel of powers, it will definitely become scum.

Thinking of this, William spoke, "If you like, you can go to the sea to fight, because this place will definitely not be able to resist your light blow." ”

After William finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders and turned his gaze to Barr, who was still somewhat familiar with the name.

"You are the Demon God," William asked, confused, "how could my past have anything to do with you." ”

"Relationship?"

As soon as Barr said two words, Agareth interrupted him with a grin, saying, "We do have a relationship, because you have been with me before, and we have done everything." ”

Seeing this, William looked at Agareth in surprise, and then turned his gaze to Barr.

However, Barr did not answer a word, as if he had acquiesced.

"How is it possible, this is impossible," William shouted in surprise, "how could I have been with you." ”

"What can't be? You must know that everything in the world is possible, for example, after all these years, you are still alive. ”

Agareth said seriously.

"But I don't feel anything about you."

William shook his head, always feeling that Agares's words were lies, but he couldn't refute them, but what he cared about most was not the ambiguity between them, but about "you are still alive" and four words.

You're alive.

Does that mean what he thinks?

William was a little incredulous, "I'm obviously human, and this shouldn't change." ”

"I didn't say no, you're human."

Agareth smiled, his tone frivolous, trying to make it difficult for people to grasp whether his words were true or not.

"I ······"

Before William could finish his words, he saw Agares's face change, and there was a hint of resentment in his tone.

"Damn, it's time," Agareth said to William, raising an eyebrow, "I'll come back to you next time, and of course, I want you to think about me." ”

With that, Agareth's figure turned into smoke and dissipated into the empty room.

"I want to ······"

William looked at Barr before he finished speaking, and when he saw Barr looking at him with a cold expression, William suddenly stopped.

"Don't promise anything, don't give anything, don't worry about anything, don't think about anything, time will give you the answer."

After Barr finished speaking, his figure was fleeting, as if he had come, silently, "This is what he asked me to tell you." ”

"Who is he?" William shouted in surprise.

But at this moment, the silence in the room was terrible, and only his voice was echoing.

It turns out that what exactly happened?

William couldn't help frowning, what the hell happened?

At this moment, a series of puzzles made him feel a little tired.

If only Sherlock were here, he was so smart that he would have discovered something.

······ Sherlock, why hasn't he come back yet?

William moved his eyes to the window, and the snow outside still did not stop, and the white snowflakes flew in the air, like the scattered feathers of angels, soft and beautiful.

William silently closed his eyes.

"What would you do if one day, I die."

Who is it?

William opened his eyes and looked.

It's still the person I've dreamed of, who can't see the ground clearly, but has a voice that William is very familiar with.

"If I didn't have me, who could protect you for me?"

I can protect myself!

William tried to speak, but he couldn't say a word, and could only listen to the man's continuation.

"Then, die, William."

Dead ······

William was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes suddenly, but found himself lying on the table asleep, the words of the person in the dream, he couldn't help but have some heart palpitations, he frowned, and when he wanted to continue to remember, he would feel that his head hurt, as if something was piercing him, so that he couldn't help but not want to remember.

Philosopher's Stone.

Maybe that's the key to that.

But where was he going to find it?

······ Pomegranate Manor?

William suddenly seemed to think of something, and his expression became excited, maybe he could find the answer in the Pomegranate Manor.

The white magic was already manifesting in his hands, and when William was about to "teleport" to the Pomegranate Manor, there were footsteps outside the door, one by one, step by step, as if with an inexplicable rhythm.

It was, Sherlock's footsteps, and he couldn't be mistaken.

William dissipated his magic and he walked to the door and opened it before Charololo could open it.

"Welcome back Sherlock, forgot to say Merry Christmas to you, though it's been over an hour."

William said, looking up at Sherlock and smiling.

Sherlock smiled when he heard this, and walked into the room, Watson followed behind, with a hint of inexplicable depression on his face, but seeing William waiting for them so late, his heart also warmed.

"William, do you know what Sherlock said to you before we left?" Watson said, smiling at William, "Although Sherlock's voice is very small, and I didn't hear it, but when I was in the barracks, I met a man who could lip speak, and I learned a few sentences, and I know this one. ”

At this, Watson glanced at Sherlock and saw that he was walking upstairs "as if nothing had happened", but he still noticed Sherlock's footsteps for a moment.

"What did he say?"

William looked at Watson curiously.

"What do you think?" Watson looked at William with a smile.

"I'm coming back to ask for a hot cup of tea, you've simply lowered the IQ of the whole street, I'm leaving······" William guessed.

"Neither," Watson smiled even more happily, "that's what you just said." ”

"Huh?" William looked at Watson in amazement.

"Merry Christmas."
