163. Be true to yourself

"Dad, we're just going to take Mycroft home."

That's how they thought, they wanted to take Mycroft home, and in the eyes of little Lestrade, Mycroft was their family, and Lestrade couldn't give up his family. Whoever tries to stop them from bringing them back to their families will have to bear the wrath of the Lestrades.

Sherlock is more troublesome, he is a member of the group that needs to be followed to Eastern Europe, but because Sherlock's surname is too sensitive, it is easy to find out that he is related to Mycroft, so the cautious Hannibal asks Harold to help Sherlock make a fake identity that will not be suspected, and he believes that Harold will definitely be able to handle it.

Harold can indeed do it, after all, Sherlock only needs an identity that can allow him to go abroad, which is better than that permanent identity, so after Harold thought about Sherlock's identity, he sent a text message to Anthea, asking her to use the name he said when buying a ticket.

Sherlock Lestrade.

As for why it is Lestrade, it is always strange for a family to travel with a foreign surname in addition to the family, especially if the outsider is also an adult. However, there was still a lack of a Mum character in their family, so Sherlock became the boyfriend who had just married Lestrade.

Neither Sherlock, Lestrade, nor Ancia understood this setting very well, they didn't know what little Harold thought, but after listening to Harold's explanation, they had to think that it was a good idea.

Because they go to Eastern Europe in the name of a vacation, there is always something to prepare about the vacation.

Although the teachers are also curious about why they chose to take a vacation at this time, but in view of the excellent grades of the little Lestrade, even if they go out for a trip and come back, they will not delay their studies, and the teachers have no reason not to let them go.

If they really go to travel, the little Lestrades will be very happy, but this time their trip to Eastern Europe is indeed a meaningful one, related to the life or death of Mycroft, that is, Sherlock, who has always been working against Mycroft, does not dare to act rashly.

They want to enter Eastern Europe openly, so they can't use private jets, but because Ancia still has some ability, she helps a lot in carrying weapons. Their stuff was very simple, and Harold had an extra computer than the others except for his toiletries and clothes.

He needed to do something extremely bold, which was to put the machine qì that was not yet fully deployed into the network in Eastern Europe.

This is actually a very dangerous thing, the machine is a little disobedient and the concept of right and wrong and morality has not been well educated, it is more like a child, sometimes likes to act arbitrarily, if it is not for the sudden Harold will not use it.

Tony and Merlin, who were left behind in London, were secretly protected by Anthea, who were the last of the odd soldiers in Anthea's hands, protecting the last position.

Before leaving, Harold rearranged the code for the machine left in London, and if the machine could not destroy the wall he had built within this time, there was still a possibility of complete control. In short, all of them are adventurous in the use of the machine, and the only thing to be thankful for is that the machine seems to like its own creator, that is, Harold, and at the same time, in Harold's education, it also puts family first, and it automatically evolves to engrave the word family in every corner of the code early.

In every corner, every 1 and 0 is telling sù this machine qì, its creator, its Father cares most about the family, and there is nothing else except the family.

The weather was good on the day he arrived in Eastern Europe, the room had been ordered by Harold in the name of his company, and sometimes Lestrade wondered if he really understood his sons, who were sometimes mysterious and sometimes powerful, different from the ordinary.

Harold spent his wallet on the top floor of the entire hotel, which was a good fit for the wealthy "husband" of the honeymoon period. Their presence in Italy did not arouse anyone's suspicion, and since their whereabouts were relatively secretive and they had not been in contact with Mycroft's agents, no one would have thought that they had come here for any other reason.

It's been four days since Mycroft disappeared, and whoever took the man hasn't had any news yet, but sometimes no news is good news.

They had arrived in the afternoon, and although they didn't want to delay, it would be noticeable to go out to investigate right now, the place where Mycroft had disappeared was relatively remote, and they were sure that someone would be watching there, and that rash action would only complicate matters.

However, the preparation still needs to be done, and the first action is Harold, who needs a few hours to upload the machine, and then let it hack into the network throughout Eastern Europe, as long as there are surveillance cameras, the machine can be monitored.

When he turned on the computer and started to run that piece of code, Harold's heart was excited, he thought of the machine as if he were his own child, and the meaning of Jean Qì's birth in the first place was to know the whereabouts of Lestrade and protect their Dad.

And now it can finally carry out its own original command, protection.

Anthea also sent all the reports of Mycroft's disappearance to Lestrade, in the form of an email, the last place of Mycroft's appearance had been determined, and Mycroft's agents had checked it up and down several times, hoping to find a word left by their boss.

It's a pity that Mycroft left nothing.

Sherlock slammed the report on the table with the report in his hand, it was completely official, and there was nothing to be seen at all, just a few photographs.

"Dead Fat Man must have a way for us to find him, but he didn't use it, his men are a bunch of fools."

Even if it was a clue about what kind of clues McCroft left on the scene, he would not leave it above board, Sherlock knew his brother, and Mycroft was always cautious in his actions.

"Sherlock, take it easy, you're too nervous."

Hannibal and Will sat side by side on the couch, in front of Will's eyes was the text report that Sherlock had just fallen on the table, he wanted to see what might be found, but Hannibal was right next to him, as long as he made any unusual movements, the man could immediately suspect him.

So Will stopped and didn't move.

Hannibal glanced at him and curled the corners of his mouth, since he chose to bring Will here to see how Will was hiding his lies, he wanted Will to tell him about his pretending amnesia first, so that he could hold his little teacup tightly in his hand in the future.

"I'm nervous? It was Inspector Lestrade who was nervous, and Mycroft's life or death had nothing to do with me. ”

Duplicity is a common problem in every Sherlock Holmes, Hannibal just laughs, although Greg looks nervous but probably has them by his side, he is more relaxed than Sherlock, but Sherlock tightens every nerve in his heart, that is, he does not talk about the importance of Mycroft, the blood brother, in his heart.

"Sherlock, you're nervous, we can find Mike, and I'm sure he's still alive."

Lestrade walked over from the window and patted Sherlock on the shoulder, it was the first time he had seen Sherlock so nervous.

"Perhaps you need to rest, my dear, after all, it will be a war without gunpowder from tomorrow onwards."

In fact, this is the first time that Lestrade has seen his own bear children as if they were older children, and he is telling them that the rest of the day will not be easy, and that they will have to race against the clock, and since they have chosen to come here to take Mycroft home, they must be prepared.

Harold waved at them, "Now you'd better go and rest, I think we'll look into a lot of things tomorrow." ”

Loki yawned, but he grabbed Harry's hand and left the room with Thor, "Harry, you need a little practice. ”

Harry is indeed inferior to his younger brother Loki in terms of magic, especially in the last year, and I don't know if it has anything to do with Loki's strange dreams, his magic is getting stronger and stronger, and his ability to control zhì is getting better and better, it is simply improving by leaps and bounds, even Merlin is now a little unable to catch up with him.

And Loki's magic is more aggressive than Harry's, and later Harry understands why he is so different from Loki and Merlin, in essence, Merlin is magic itself, and Loki, as a god, he is higher than magic.

Harry had been a little confused about his magic lately, he didn't know if he was about to start going to Hawkwarts, he didn't know how to control his magic, and he didn't know how to use it. Sometimes Harry felt like magic was actually controlling him, and Loki found out about this and called his brother to guide him so that he wouldn't make any trouble in this rescue.

Harry arrived in the room assigned to them with Loki and Thor, and Thor knew what his brother wanted to do, so he turned and sat down on the bed/on, staring at Loki with his eyes fixed.

Loki enjoyed the feeling as well, but he gave his attention to Harry.

"Harry, you haven't been feeling very well lately."

Harry sighed, "I don't know how to control it. ”

It, that is, magic, Harry didn't know how to control magic began to appear the only time in his life that he was confused.

Loki let out a chuckle as he crossed his arms and looked at Harry and said, "That's not a reason at all, Harry, it's yours, it's in your body. ”

Loki spread his hand, and flames emerged from his palm.

Harry smiled and patted his brother's head, why could Loki be so cute.

"Okay, okay, I'm just confused about the game."

Loki gave Harry a roll of the eye, and he reached out and took Harry's hand, "Only once. ”

Loki told Harry that magic is nothing more than surrendering to their abilities, as if an element is in his body, and he needs to feel it himself, and what belongs to him doesn't need to be a little confused, if you are confused, you will be controlled by magic, as long as you are tough, you can cast powerful magic.

Thor smiled as he looked at Loki, who was teaching Harry, and Loki and the adult man in the dream slowly overlapped, and he remembered how much magic the tall, thin man named Loki in the dream had, the most powerful magician he had ever seen.

Harry closed his eyes and felt the so-called magic in his body, that he was the master of magic rather than a subservient......

The flames were raging, and I don't know why the word came to Harry's mind.

The flames fell from Harry's hands to the ground, and Harry was burned by his own flames, and immediately woke up, seeing whether the carpet was about to burn or Loki released the cold air to completely freeze the flames, Harry smiled and narrowed his eyes as he looked at his brother with a pattern on his face.

"Thank you very much, Loki."

The blue color on Loki's body gradually receded, and he opened the door and pointed outside to Harry, "Very well, you can go." ”

After sending Harry off, Thor stepped forward to hold his brother in his arms, so that he had always liked the blue brother, especially in the summer, it was very comfortable to hold cold.

"Why did you suddenly think you were going to teach Harry?"

"I just don't want Harry to be holding him back, idiot."

Thor grinned even when he was scolded, and he dropped a gentle kiss on Loki's cheek, his brother was indeed the most tender man in the world.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest, Hannibal and Will were in a rare silence, Harry was secretly connecting with the magic, thinking about what was going on, and Lestrade was putting the little princess Raven to sleep, but she was thinking about the man named Mycrof Holmes.

Harold was in a separate room, and he was uploading the machine to the Internet.

"Can you see me?"

Harold said, looking at the camera on his computer.

After waiting for a while, a few letters appeared on the screen, Yes.

"Who am I?"

Administrator, Harold Lestrade.

Harold smiled, "I'm going to upload you to the network now, are you ready to go live temporarily?" ”

Yes, I'm ready.

It's risky, but there's no other way, is it?

At the beginning of the upload, Harold looked at the fast-moving acceleration bar on the computer, and in fact, the little Harold did not simply regard it as code in his heart, but regarded it as an important friend, or family member, who created the machine and deleted it again and again, and finally appeared in this ignorant it.

Sometimes Harold prefers to use the word "she" to call the machine qì rather than it.

Is there anything I can help with? Administrator.

"Run the core program and find Mycroft Holmes after a successful upload."

This was Harold's first order after giving the machine a temporary launch, to find Mr. Mycroft Holmes.

Few people had slept well that night, and they had already decided to go to the place where Mycroft had disappeared the next day, and Will knew that his own abilities would be needed by that time, and Hannibal had chosen him to join this Eastern European tour group because of this. But if it's really hard to say after that, how should he explain his memory problem to Hannibal, and the deception from beginning to end is still the memory that has suddenly recovered recently......

This is the fourth day of Mycroft's disappearance, and McCroft himself is not having a good time now, although the beating is gone, but he has not eaten for two days, and he still has not figured out who the people inside the British government are behind this group of people, and he does not dare to rashly launch a signal.

He looked around, he had been knocked unconscious and brought here, and in the middle of the fine mass he found that it was more like an abandoned underground processing factory, which they used as a temporary den, and there was no sunlight to shine in.

He was calculating how many more days he would be able to hold out, and whether the British side would still be in Anthea's control.

If Ancia can seize the opportunity of her disappearance, she will probably be able to hang out a group of people who oppose him.

As she lay on the cold concrete floor, Mycroft thought of Lestrade, who she had probably told Restrider of Anncia's personality, and that it was highly likely that his lover Greg Lestrade would arrive with his brother.

It is not known how long it will take Sherlock to find this den.

Closing his eyes, his mind was full of Lestrade's shadow, and McCroft did not regret risking his life, he came here fully prepared, but ...... The thought of causing Lestrade to look worried, and even involving him, was apologetic.

The next day all the Lestrades woke up very early, Harold was going to stay in the hotel as a backup today, the machine had already been uploaded, it was in its own testing, and it would take a few hours to put it into use.

Because it was an investigation, Lestrade didn't bring a few cherubs, except for Sherlock, only Harry, Hannibal, and Will followed, and Loki, Thor, and Raven were all left in the hotel.

Even if they find the location of Mycroft, they will not be able to rescue them immediately, and if they move too much during the day, they will be discovered.

In order not to be suspected, they rented a car and visited a few places first, and it just so happened that although the place where Mycroft disappeared was relatively remote, there was another tourist attraction nearby, and Harold pointed out in the map that tourists from other places could easily get lost here if they wanted to take a shortcut, so they could pretend to be lost and come down to check.

But he'll have to wait for news from him, and he'll need to check if there's anyone in the neighborhood to see if there's anyone watching.

After an hour of waiting, they finally heard from Harold.

According to the circle of the machine, there are two groups of people monitoring in the vicinity, and the monitoring personnel have analyzed it, the identity of one group of people is disguised, the photo is exactly the same as the Eastern European agent that Ancia has seen for them, and the other group of people are locals, so it is very likely that they caught Mycroft.

"Although the current operation will startle the snake, our sudden appearance will definitely attract attention."

Lestrade's fears were justified, as Inspector of Scotland Yard was experienced in surveillance, and he knew what kind of people would be suspected.

Monitors?

Sherlock pursed his lips and said to Harold on the other end of the phone, "Harold, can you know if they have guns?" ”

"According to testing, they have an unidentified protrusion in the pocket of their jacket, which is probably a hand/gun if I guessed correctly."

This is easy to do, although many countries have gun licenses, but in this world, you don't need money to call the police, do you?

"I need you to call the police, just say that this person is illegally armed and wants to rob."

In a good way, Harold can make his police call nowhere to be found, but the police will definitely be dispatched, in order to create a good urban environment, the police have to fight hard, Lestrade glanced at Sherlock helplessly, and muttered, "It seems that I will still review your words in the future, who knows if you will report false police one day." ”

They were going to take advantage of the fact that the group of people who were being watched were being taken by the police for interrogation, and to see if there were any clues inside, and there was only one surveillance camera near the street corner, but it couldn't show where they were going.

However, out of an abundance of caution, Harold sat down for a looping video to play.

"According to the time it takes for the police here to solve the case, you have fifteen minutes."

"That's enough."

The quiet alley, where Mycroft disappeared, doesn't look out of the ordinary.

Will looked around, the kidnappers weren't ambushed here, because they couldn't be sure if Mycroft would pass by, so they had to ......

Mycroft was taken away suddenly.

Will closed his eyes, the golden clock flashed before his eyes, and time began to recede.

He's now Mycroft Holmes.

It was impossible for Mycroft Holmes to come to such a remote place lightly, he must have some kind of reason in it, he walked down the street, looking ahead without squinting and pretending to be a tourist.

Someone follows him, yes, "I" until someone follows "me", and that's what "I" waits.

"I" was deliberately taken away, because this is the only way for "I" to lead out the person "I" wanted to lure, and "I" had other weapons on my body that could be used to kill me, because "I" needed to wait for the news I wanted to get until it was discovered.

Trash can......

Will suddenly opened his eyes, and he dialed Harold's phone, "Harold, half of the trash cans here are once every few days. ”

Harold wondered what it was like, but he helped to find out how often this remote neighborhood was littered.

"For a week, because it is not the peak tourist season recently, and there are few people passing here, the government changed the two-day to once a week to ease the huge workload."

"Thank you."

Will hung up the phone and said to Lestrade and Sherlock, "Mycroft came from the east side of the street, he likes sweets, there was a sweet shop on the route where he disappeared, and when he finished eating the doughnuts, he secretly took away what he wanted to take with him, and left the news in the trash can, because he knew that the trash can here was dumped every Monday." ”

Will walked briskly to the trash can and rummaged through it.

Soon they found a note, as well as a pen that had been opened.

Sherlock was holding the pen, which was clearly carried by Mycroft, which he had taken out and put on his body.

As for the note, there was a string of numbers written on it, Morse code.

They found a clue about Mycroft, and Lestrade picked up Will and kissed him hard before giving it to Hannibal.

Hannibal stepped forward and took Will's hand, looked him in the eye with a smile and said, "Wow, Will looks like we need to talk." ”

Will pursed his lips, not at all happy to find a clue to Mycroft.

Yes, Hannibal is right, they are indeed going to talk, but not now.

"I'll talk to you when this is over, Hannibal."

For the first time, Will takes off his disguise in front of Hannibal and reveals his true self.

Hannibal curled the corners of his mouth, this was his real little teacup.
