"I've been in irises before......"

Watson muttered.

He took out a metal cigarette case from his coat pocket, pressed his finger lightly on the side of the cigarette case, and the surface of the cigarette box bounced up, revealing a very neatly arranged paper cigarette, lowered his head, selected a cigarette from the cigarette case, and then, holding it to his mouth, he threw the cigarette case on the coffee table in front of him, glanced at Ryan, and motioned for him to take it.

Ryan shook his head.

Watson took a cigarette in his mouth and smiled slightly.

Then he took out the matchbox, took out a match, and after a while, the flame burned on the matchhead, lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, took the cigarette off his mouth, and spit out a puff of smoke rings.

The spicy scent of cigarette smoke echoed through the room, floating in Ryan's nose.

"That was twenty years ago......"

Watson Strong looked at the smoke rings and fell into the memory.

In order to fight for the New World, the French Empire and the British Empire had a local war, however, the two sides of this war did not come forward in person, but appeared as behind-the-scenes manipulators, and the agents of both sides started a war in the New World, and in the end, the British personally ended up with a sea and land army, however, the war finally fell into a stalemate.

The logistics supply lines of the British are too long, although the British navy is extremely powerful, and the French Empire is far inferior, however, the combat effectiveness of the army is average, even if it is in person, it has not saved the situation of proxy defeat.

The war took place more than twenty years ago, and when Watson joined the fight, the war had come to an end.

At that time, the war that took place in the New World used many new weapons, and the Transcendental Squad also went down to test some mysterious war machines, all of which did not appear in the war history books.

As a medic, Watson follows the Transcendental squad.

At that time, he was a supernumerary of Iris, giving a hand to an alchemist, and it was there that he came into contact with the transcendent world and learned a lot of occult knowledge, and the alchemist still sighed, if Watson was a gifted person, if he could be promoted to the extraordinary, with his learning ability, he would definitely be able to become a great alchemist, and become a master who would bow his head and admire.

Unfortunately, Watson was not gifted.

If you don't have talent, you can't be extraordinary.

In this way, they can only struggle in the mud, and they cannot get out of the great mire of the mundane no matter what, and it is impossible to fly up to the branches and become the object of admiration and worship of everyone.

This statement did not discourage Watson, on the contrary, he bred an arrogant idea that even if he was not a gifted person, he had to become extraordinary, and that he did not rely on miracles and chances to achieve transcendence, but to understand the law, to be able to grasp this change exactly, and as long as he followed a certain law, all ordinary people had the opportunity to achieve transcendence.

Even if he can't be extraordinary, he must let all ordinary people be able to use extraordinary power, through machinery, through rune arrays, so that extraordinary power is not only in the hands of transcendentals.

This was Watson Strong's dream.

This dream can only be hidden deep in the heart, not outside, no matter who it is, it cannot be confided.

Once known to others, becoming a laughing stock is only the best end, and if some people take it seriously, they may kill the killer, and at that time, even his powerful transcendent brother Charlotte Strong has no way to protect him.

Of course, Watson didn't tell Ryan much, except for a few interesting little things related to the fight.

The reason why he mentions his past is just to dispel Ryan's vigilance, communicate with people, and when you tell your secret to share with the other party, the other party will subconsciously lower his vigilance and share his secret with you.

"You know Thomson?"

As he spoke, Watson turned his head to look at Thomson.

Thomson, who hadn't slept for several days, was now asleep next to his sister's hospital bed, with saliva in his mouth and snoring lightly, and Scarlett was also sleeping soundly on the hospital bed.

Outside the window, there was the sound of a horse-drawn carriage returning from night at a rapid pace.

"I don't know. ”

Ryan shook his head.

"Oh...... And how did he find you?"

It's finally here.

Before this, Ryan and Thomson greeted each other, saying that everything was accidental, and that he just came out in desperation to find a passerby to save Scarlett, and it happened that Ryan passed by there, and everything that followed.

So, Ryan said according to the plan.

Watson didn't seem to have any doubts about this.

Of course, he didn't have the authority to question Ryan, nor did he question from this position, and the reason why he mentioned this was just a reason for his speech, in preparation for his subsequent inquiry.

All he wanted to know was the cause of Scarlett?

What did Ryan do to save the girl?

"Cause?"

Ryan frowned slightly, repeating Watson's question.

"yes, the cause...... I examined for a long time, but I couldn't find the cause of Scarlett, I only knew that her vitality kept fading, and her body fell into a coma out of self-preservation instinct, and if left unchecked, her vitality would be exhausted, and finally, she died in a coma!"

Watson took another puff and crushed the end of the cigarette on the ashtray of the coffee table.

"What is this principle? I don't understand, in my opinion, it shouldn't be done by ordinary means, it must have something to do with the extraordinary, but a wandering little girl, who would specifically target her?"

Fingers tapped on the table, and Watson spoke his guess.

"Or maybe you came across something unclean?"

In this world, there are many supernatural events that hit ghosts, and there are legends of straying into the mysterious heavens, all of which are actually related to mysteries, most of them have lost their lives in this mysterious event, and only a few lucky people survived, so there are legends.

"Mr. Charles, how did you save her?"

"Mr. Strong, call me Ryan?"

Watson nodded.

"Okay, Ryan, feel free to call me Watson!"

Ryan smiled and nodded, he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

"Watson, in fact, I don't know much more than you, like you, I know that Scarlett has a monster in her body that devours her and upgrades, where the source is, and I don't know it like you, I just have a divine text related to life vitality, at that time, I couldn't think of any other way, so I used the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and put the divine text into Scarlett's body, and finally ......"

Ryan pointed to Scarlett on the hospital bed and shrugged again.

"You're gifted?"

Watson frowned, then stretched out and a smile bloomed on his face.

"At the stage of the gifted, you will be able to drive the Divine Text, and in the future, the future will be immeasurable!"

"Really?"

Ryan smiled humbly.
