Volume 4: Reliving the Nightmare Chapter 42: Seeing Death and Not Saving It

"In the Pedder Forest, the two hunters who were murderous were brutally mutilated by the murderer with an axe, and the murderer has not been found so far."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bersha ran over again, took a letter in his hand, and said, "Young master, your letter! ”

Sherlock took the letter, opened the envelope, took it out, opened it, and said, "Go tomorrow to find the murderer of the corpse mutilation." ”

"However, it happened two days ago, why did you only get off the mission today?" Edwina was puzzled.

Sherlock replied, "Because it happened to be this morning in the Pedder Forest that two more bodies were chopped by an axe, and the corpses of the previous two days were the same as this morning, and all the organs inside were hollowed out. ”

"Is this some kind of dark magic ritual to be performed?" Edwina can only think of this thing when she thinks about it,

Sherlock's thin lips pursed slightly upwards and pulled a smile: "I'll know tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, the three of them arrived at the Peder Forest together in a carriage, and saw two corpses piled on top of the fallen leaves, both of which had been cut to pieces by the murderer with an axe, and the flesh and blood were blurred, as tragic as they were.

At this moment, a tall middle-aged man wearing a deer hunting hat with a bloodstained axe in his hand approached Edvena step by step, and with both hands he suddenly swung the axe to cut down on her.

But he was held up by a long sword in mid-air, the man was stunned for a long time, looked at Sherlock angrily, increased his strength with both hands, his strength was extremely great, seeing that the blade had reached the tip of the opponent's nose, only to hear the sound of "dang", it was blocked by the other party, and the man took two steps back.

Sherlock looked at the person in front of him, there was only a bloody hole left in the right eye of the other party, and there was a two-meter-long wound under the eye, for some reason, it had completely decayed, and purple pus continued to flow out of the wound, and white bones were faintly visible in the rotten place, and small white insects crawled out of his eyes from time to time.

The man raised his axe and rushed at him again, his face becoming extremely fierce, and his already ugly face became more and more terrifying, brandishing the axe in his hand as if he was crazy, as if he was determined to put Sherlock to death.

There have been dozens of cuts on Sherlock's clothes, and there are bloody mouths everywhere he sees on his body, blood flows out of the wounds, almost dyeing his white shirt bright red, but the other party does not have any advantage, I saw blood splashing up, and one of the man's arms was cut off alive, and he flew out all at once.

Edvina noticed that Mikal was just standing there with a smile on her face the whole time, and she didn't mean to help at all, as if she were ...... It's as if he doesn't care if Sherlock lives or dies.

But isn't he the other party's deacon? But is this like what a deacon is supposed to do?

The man suddenly let out a miserable scream, and suddenly, the scream stopped abruptly, and a head suddenly flew up with blood, and the whole person knelt forward and fell to the ground, and the blood stained everything.

"The young master is a demon, and the demon will never die one day." Mikal spoke, speaking very calmly, and Edvina did not expect such an answer at all, and was dumbfounded for a while, unable to answer for a long time.

Even if it's an explanation? To say it is to say it is to not say it.

But—Sherlock looked at Mikal angrily, and said almost viciously, "Mikal, next time this happens again, if you act like a bystander, I don't mind wringing you into pig feed." ”

Mikal still smiled: "I see." ”

Edvina looked at Sherlock in surprise: "Pig...... Pig feed? ”

And then the murderer was caught so easily?

Edwina was startled at first, then regained her composure, looked at the two and asked, "What about the corpses?" ”

"Don't worry, the police will take care of it later."

This kind of answer is really irresponsible, this is in a sense an iron-clad scumbag. ”

In the afternoon, she seemed to know who the so-called "friend" in the letter was, and could it really be the crazy woman?

In this world, she didn't know anyone except the people in Ford Heslett's mansion, and Catherine's words were half-baked, let alone any friends, who didn't even know her own name, and the rest was her enemy, Donna.

What a sin—Edwina sighed in her heart.

Time has come to sixteen and a half past in the afternoon, it is the time when Donna and Edwina agreed to meet here, the sun is covered by the clouds, but there is a warm light shining on Edvenna's face through the clouds, it seems that she is almost as white as jade, a pair of ice blue eyes are as clear as spring water, she subconsciously looked up at Sherlock and Mikael sitting on the ginkgo tree.

What she didn't know was that she didn't realize that the other party had been protecting her all along, but she had been waiting for almost half a day, but she couldn't wait for Donna, she shouldn't have been released into the pigeons, right? Edwina suddenly popped out of these three words in her mind, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, obviously the other party asked her out and now even released her pigeons, this woman is really getting more and more bored, she was about to inform the two people on the ginkgo tree in front of her, at this time suddenly there was a gust of wind behind her, she subconsciously heard the sound and looked back to find that dozens of people in black appeared behind at some point.

These black-clothed people seem to have an iron heart, their eyes are cold, and they are holding long knives in their hands, and the sharp blades are shining in the sun, and they are so shocked that the hairs on their bodies stand up, looking at these people in horror, at this moment she suddenly understands why Donna asked her out but didn't show up to dare to put her to death here, could it be just because she beat her, but it was clear that the other party was the first to insult her.

Suddenly, those men in black had already rushed towards her with long knives in their hands, no matter how bold Edvina was, she had never been put on her neck at the same time to face death, just when she closed her eyes resignedly and waited for the arrival of death, the whole person seemed to be included in a warm embrace, and there were bursts of screams in her ears, she opened her eyes suddenly, but found that the person who saved her life at the critical moment was Sherlock, who had been quietly guarding the side from beginning to end, I don't know if it was because of fear or something, her eyes moistened all of a sudden.

Edwina can't remember how long she hasn't experienced this feeling of being protected, Donna thought that everyone liked her and held her like a treasure, in fact, she has never felt the slightest warmth in the 21st century England, even in that patriarchal family, she had to live carefully to avoid the fate of being beaten, in that home she didn't even have a place to speak, she lived better than a dog, so she wanted to stay away from those people, will do his best to be admitted to the Shengde aristocratic college.

However, after being pushed off the roof of the school by Donna, she never thought that she would travel to England in the nineteenth century, and she did not expect that the aristocratic Earl Sherlock, who was originally not related to her, would be ruthless to others, but would appear again and again when she was in danger and save her from difficulties.

Mikal, who was still sitting on the ginkgo tree, had no intention of helping as just now, he was hesitating, on one side was the young master who he swore to follow, and on the other side was the three million pounds that could solve his worries, the mysterious man told him that as long as he solved Sherlock, the money would be his, but he had worked hard for so long just to be able to return to the young master, and three million pounds was not a small amount with it, and he had no worries, and he still raised his longbow under all kinds of entanglements, and the long arrow was still off the string, The arrowhead glowed blue in the sunlight, and it was clear that the arrow was coated with poison.

Edvina now had no time to care about the danger approaching her behind her, but Sherlock noticed it, but he didn't leave anyway, thinking that even Mikal had betrayed him, but he didn't have time to think too much and didn't have time to think about anything, so he took a wrong step towards Edvina and protected the other party in his arms, and the sharp arrow instantly pierced his entire body from behind, and blood splattered.

Mikal jumped down from the tree and stepped forward to forcibly pull Edwina out of Sherlock's arms, and then Sherlock, who had fallen into a coma because of the poison in his body, was put in an iron cage by the remaining eight men in black and taken away, Edwina recovered from the shock, but looked at Mikal with great annoyance, and almost didn't say a word and raised his hand to give the other party two heavy slaps,

Mikal looked at her in disbelief, he really didn't expect that Edwina, who had always had a gentle personality, would give him two slaps, and he didn't expect her to say next: "Mikal, you have seen death twice in a row today, in terms of loyalty, you are simply worse than a dog, like you garbage, and delusional to be on an equal footing with a black gentleman, a greedy and afraid of death, pig and dog are not as good as the waste or how far to roll away, save me from disgusting me in front of me, if he has any three long and two short, I will never forgive you!" ”

Now Mikal is a hundred times more disgusting than a mouse in the shadows in her eyes, and before the other party can recover from the horror, Edvina has already turned away, but in a trance and collided with the oncoming person, the whole person was knocked into a stumbling one, and the other party helped her in time.

Edvina looked up and saw the black gentleman standing in front of him, he had faithfully carried out the task given by Sherlock and had not returned until now, thinking that it would not be difficult for Mikal to hold back those murderers until he came back, but he never expected that Mikal would betray them for the money, and people's hearts are unpredictable.

Seeing that the other party's eyes were rekindled with hope, Edwina's hands clutched the sleeves of the other party's clothes, and her knuckles were slightly white because she was too hard: "Black gentleman, find a way to Sherlock!" ”

Sherlock is his allegiance to the master, and he will do everything to save Sherlock without the other party mentioning it.

At this time, in a dark room, Sherlock slowly opened his eyes from the coma, his right ankle was tied to the corner with an iron chain, at this moment, there was a strange sound above his head, followed by the sound of flowing water, he subconsciously looked up, through the sunlight shining through the glass in the top window, there was a bright red liquid gushing out from the unknown place on the ceiling, Sherlock was caught off guard by being drenched in blood, almost the whole person was soaked in blood.

He couldn't recover from the shock at all, at this time the door of the room opened, and a warm light drifted in through the crack in the door, and two people with hideous ghost masks on their faces walked in with a tray, and on the tray were two syringes, one of them did not give Sherlock any reaction and resistance, and stepped forward and pressed the person to the floor, his magic could not be used at all, and the other person held a syringe in his hand, which contained a purple unknown liquid, and approached Sherlock step by step, The needle was pierced into the veins of his right wrist, and all the virus in it flowed with the blood to his heart and limbs.

There was already a virus in his body that had not been cleared and a new virus was injected at once, and his heart seemed to be torn apart by life for a moment, and the pain that had penetrated into the bone marrow, and the tingling sensation spread throughout his body again, and Sherlock almost curled up in pain.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and it is clear that time has flown by but it seems to Sherlock that it is as far away as a century, in this month he has been humiliated and tortured, it is almost worse than death, at this moment there was a terrible scream outside, and then the door of the room was opened from the outside, and a trace of long-lost warm light floated in through the crack in the door, Sherlock looked at the black gentleman and Edwina, why did they wait until now to save him?

Edvina looked at Sherlock, who was scarred, bloodstained, and tortured to the point that he was barely human, and he could imagine how much torture and humiliation the other party had suffered in the month when they tried everything to break the siege of the Black Mass, and he used to smile involuntarily whenever he saw him, but now he seemed to be unable to smile at all.
