To Sherlock Holmes, she will always be "that lady".

Watson barely heard her use any other name when he mentioned her. In his mind, she was enough to eclipse all other women, unmatched.

It's not because he has any special affection for Erin Adler. He avoids all emotions, especially love, and he wants a calm, thoughtful, and untouched mind. In Watson's opinion, he is the most perfect observation and analysis machine, which can be called unparalleled in the world, so he is not suitable to be a lover at all-

He is not sweet-talking, only cynical, so that he can peel back the veil that obscures the truth and reveal the real reasons behind people's actions and motives, which is an excellent quality for an observer of his ability.

However, if such a well-trained reasoning expert allows his emotions to infiltrate his observant and well-fashioned character, he will be in a state of confusion and doubt his own wisdom.

Even if a grain of sand falls into a precision instrument, even if a crack occurs in a high-powered lens, it is not as destructive as the fiery passion disturbs its nature. However, there was a woman who caused him such trouble.

The woman's name was Erin Adler.

Now for the four people who are in danger, there are more vicious traps waiting for them than the peach-colored magic barrier, and they do not have the sharp intuition of Charlotte Holmes, and the current four people, just like the down-and-out detective who met Erin Adler, are all scattered, not only unable to reason, but also their own positions have been shifted.

When Li Green Ant, Wogua, Jing Qiongshuang, and Black Glasses woke up from the endless illusion, they would not be surprised when they encountered any situation, because of the rapid change of any situation, they all had thousands of roundabout ideas in their hearts, but they were still shocked when they saw the scene in front of them.

"It's you?!"

The four of them looked at the old man in front of them in unison, revealing a look of disbelief.

The four of them woke up in the open space of the altar at the same time, and found that they were tightly tied, their wrists were cut, and at this moment blood flowed along the center of the altar, and those twisted marks converged into the small hole in the middle.

The lid of the sarcophagus at the top of the altar has been opened, and the person standing next to the sarcophagus is now looking greedily at everything inside the coffin with a perverted and contented look.

This person is none other than the one who can summon thousands of walking corpses to fight for him, the ghostly old man in the depths of the earth.

"It's me!"

The old man smiled, "Why, I didn't expect it, you thought you had escaped, but in fact you went to another abyss, but I'm still curious, once any living creature sets foot on this altar, it will be trapped in endless nightmares until death because of the existence of this altar, how do you break free from the infinite overlap of darkness?" ”

Wogua sneered, "The old immortal, sure enough, good people don't live long, and the scourge lasts for thousands of years, aren't you dead?" Why do you want us to come first? "No, anyone who steps into this altar will fall into endless nightmares, so why are you okay?" ”

There was a hint of awe in the old man's eyes, and in an instant, he looked at the four people who looked like animals waiting to be slaughtered, "Because of the means that the man left, he told me how to avoid this happening." ”

The man??

A hint of uncertainty flashed under the eyes of the dark glasses: Could it be-

The old man continued, "He assigned me two tasks, one is to kill you who look similar to him after 20 years-" Pointing to Li Green Ant, the three of them looked at Li Green Ant in disbelief at the same time.

What does it look like a plum green ant? Isn't that just-

A mixture of ecstasy and surprise flashed in the dark glasses' heart: That's right, what the commander-in-chief said was indeed right, Li Gengai really came here and left a message here, that is-

"Second, if I don't kill this man the first time, I need to deliver a message from him."

Li Luant looked at the old man quietly, without saying a word, as if waiting for the verdict to be announced.

Everyone waited with bated breath, in fact, the biggest unsolved mystery of the matter to this point in itself was this message.

Jing Qiongshuang's eyes were complicated: The organization has sent so many manpower and material resources, just for this message, how attractive is this message?

"What is sought has been truly destroyed, and it is known to all that it must not be found again, for it is a great sin for history to change once because of this, and if it is tampered with again in disregard of the actual process, it will cause the destruction of the entire human race. Lee reformed and stayed. ”

When the old man said this sentence alone, he did not need Li Green Ant to translate, because he said it in extremely difficult Chinese, although it was not very smooth, but presumably he practiced this sentence alone, and he must have practiced it for a long time, so although the pronunciation is not standard, it is still clear to everyone.

That's it? Finished???

Black Glasses couldn't believe it, "It's impossible, it's impossible, it's impossible to destroy, there must be something else, there must be something else, has he said anything else besides this?!! ”

Li Luant didn't seem surprised at all: although his father seemed to be Li Reform, the connection between him and him was actually -

The old man slowly walked down from the altar and stood gently beside Li Luant.

"There is indeed another sentence, but this sentence was specially designated for him by him."

Leaning over to Li Luant's ear, Li Luant murmured, "I don't need you to say it, I know what he wants to convey." ”

"Oh? You know? ”

The old man looked at the young man he admired very much, and there was a determined look on his face at the moment.

"Yes, I know."

The old man smiled slightly, still softly, "Although you know, but I promised him this, I must do it, since I sent the Buddha to the west, naturally I will not rebel." ”

"He said that if this sentence is not reserved for anyone, he has left it to himself."

Li Luant seemed to have expected it, and was not surprised, the old man saw that he really did not have a surprised look, and his heart understood, and slowly paced up to the altar: although he did not understand the meaning of these dumb riddles, but he owed the favor to the man, he had already paid it off, and the rest-

Wogua wriggled and glanced at the old man hatefully.

"Hey, old immortal, the words are finished, since you are just a messenger, then you should let us go now, right?"

"Put? When did I say I was going to release you? ”

"But you didn't say yes—"

"What I promised was to deliver the news, but I didn't promise not to kill you other than that, in fact, that person seemed to want to see your death, so he deliberately emphasized in the first article that I must actually kill you." Otherwise, I wouldn't have used so many walking corpses for myself.

Stopped his gaze on the dark glasses: is this the kind of person he wants to guard against?

He descended from heaven when these people were in a desperate situation, so this was their backup? So did that man anticipate today?

"Kill—"

Wogua said with difficulty, "I said old things, bah, uncle, you can do it, a few of us have strayed into the treasure land, and now we have tasted enough bitterness, and now we are still half-dead and have been bled by you for several catties, this is almost wilting cucumbers, you have a lot of old adults, spare us once." ”

The stone door suddenly opened, and the walking corpses poured in one after another, and the four people in the center of the altar were tightly tied, without the power to return, just like the "Tess of the D'Urbers", even if they finally walked to the guillotine, they still had to perform one last worship on the altar.

"Do you know any hell?"

Wogua looked at the countless walking corpses rushing towards him, and he looked extremely calm at the moment.

He looked at Li Luant, who seemed to have accepted his fate-

Every person's life can be divided into two periods. Some boundaries are more pronounced, while others are less pronounced.

The first half of my life was in the quagmire and I couldn't get out of it, and the second half of my life, I was accompanied by heroes every day, and you are the biggest heroes, from the day you joined, just like everyone who stood on the front line, you became heroes.

For so many years, the tiger hid in his heart and could not be killed, and it was only when he fell asleep that he quietly slipped out of the courtyard and shook the moonlight all over his body alone.

And the longer a disease is carried on the body, the more difficult it will be to heal and eradicate it, and at the beginning of the burden, it will be carried with a burden, and over time this burden will become inseparable from one's own body, and at that time to throw it away, it will not only be very laborious, but also feel very painful.

His cowardice and cowardice have been with him for thirty years, but he lost his light when he met them, perhaps, there is really something called "miracle" in this world, which can heal the hidden diseases in the heart of the human heart in an instant.

Able to live and die with the host, it should be a noble parasite.

Roundworms have a moral demeanor that a considerable number of people do not have.

But if you miss your illness as much as you do with your lover, your illness will get worse and worse, and you will simply ignore it—and you can't pay attention to it, and it will be boring to stay with you, and it will soon abandon you.

He was like a parasite, parasitic under their protection, and spent his own amusement and amusement through these countless tribulations, and today's days of suffering are finally coming to an end, and his heart is not happy.

"shell lang, if you don't die this time, my gold ingots want to make a little contribution to the people, it doesn't need to be too big, little by little, it's enough to accumulate over time."

Li Luant looked sideways at the gold ingot, and murmured softly, "I'm really sorry for you, I can't imagine that he thought of today 20 years ago, and even more unexpectedly, I personally harmed you, I just didn't expect that there would be you among the people who died with me this time." ”

I'm sorry, I really feel the most sorry for you.

I never thought that I just wanted to send myself into the abyss, but I didn't expect that there would be you in this abyss.

It turns out that in this life, it is the same, all the encounters are just for parting.

In the invisible corner, the black glasses and Jing Qiongshuang's wrist moved, and a sergeant slipped from his sleeve, silently harvesting the lives of the walking corpses.

The walking corpses poured in like a tide and pounced on the four of them, and the old man laughed, his smile full of bloodlust and refreshing cruelty.

See no, see no, now that I have completed your task, from now on, I don't have to live with shackles, and you don't have to come to me again!!

For the first time in the past 20 years, the old man was so happy, and the shackles he carried were no less than the golden shackles carried by Cao Qiqiao, and he buried his happiness, love, and the happiness and love of his children in the golden grave.

The old man had a look of fascination on his face, and he cautiously tried to pick up the contents of the sarcophagus, but suddenly fell into an extreme fear.

"How is that possible? How can it be? ”

But when he saw that the old man was suddenly bleeding, he spit out many fragments of his heart and lungs, and tore his scalp vigorously.

"How is that possible? Twenty years have passed, and I have helped you to accomplish all the tasks you have assigned to me, and I have done everything you have asked for, so why do you do this to me? ”

"Ah!!!h

"Why? Why do you always refuse to let me live happily for a day, even if it's just for one day!! ”

"I hate it so much!!!"

"Pounce—"

The old man's fleshy body collapsed in front of the sarcophagus, a gap in the corner of the sarcophagus was always opened, and the contents inside never revealed their true body from beginning to end.

Five minutes later—

"Whew-"

Li Luant wiped the sweat on his head, and when the four of them opened their eyes, they saw the same scene that had not changed for 10,000 years.

"Failed again? ——”

Wogua pouted, very dissatisfied, "I said, shell lang, can you do it?" I see that you have been squatting here for a long time, and it is more difficult than shitting, I think you have no inspiration to go shit, save yourself pouting your ass here for a long time, but you haven't done anything. ”

That's right, this time they experienced another illusion, and the results of the experiment were straightforward:

They failed again.

Black Glasses and Jing Qiongshuang were also frustrated by this result, but now except for Li Luant, no one could save them from this predicament, and they were all unhappy.

"Don't worry, this test won't work, I still have a trick-"

"Come on, you-"

"This trick will definitely work, this time I'm going to start from the perspective of Feng Shui, you wait and see, this time it won't fail again-"

In Lop Nur in the yellow sand, on the Gobi of Death, there are two figures standing in the Gobi, one of them is wearing a Tang costume, and the other is very groveling to his attitude.

"This time the whole army was wiped out, the treasure, even the descendants of Zhang Qing and that person couldn't come out."

Jin Caibao - Yes, this person is the commander-in-chief of the Snow Leopard Commando, he respectfully, "This time I thought it was well prepared, and what I equipped Zhang Qing with was the best equipment, but I didn't expect it to fail." ”

The old man in Tang costume looked up at Gujing Wubo's golden treasure with a little regret, but he was a little surprised, "That's your only bloodline, and you are willing to let that little fat man die in Lop Nur like this?" ”

"Pengamu a few decades ago can die for this, and countless Snow Leopard Commandos can also die for this, sacrificing a gold ingot, why not?"

There was no emotional fluctuation on his face, as if the person "Gold Ingot" could not appear, or whether he was dead or not, had nothing to do with him.

So ruthless!!

The old man in Tang costume twitched slightly, and returned to normal in an instant.

"For the next mission, you need to dig out new people, what else do you have in your team, can you go through the previous tests, and finally send people to Lop Nur?" Someone sent to Lop Nur to send him to death?

Yes, from beginning to end, it was just a gambling game, and they had been looking at it all from God's point of view.

Before Zhang Qing, there were countless expedition teams, some of them were as talented and legendary as Zhang Qing, but some died at the level of the tomb of King Guangling, which is really sighing.

So far, Zhang Qing is the best performer, he successfully passed the previous triple test, and finally came to Lop Nur, but even so, he did not complete the task.

"There are a lot of new recruits on the team, and a few of them are good."

"Since it's good, let's start training, and if you pick it out, you can participate in this 701403 (Y3) engineering derivative program."

The wind blows, but there is no trace.

The only footprints on the Gobi Desert of Death that left evidence seem to have been blown away.

And not far from the Gobi of Death, a poplar forest swayed in the wind, and two camels, for some reason, who had not slept since half a month ago and refused to leave this place, had been curled up beside a hill, as if waiting for someone to come back—

The dry branches of the poplar forest are cracked and scattered, which seems to indicate that the same ancient legend as this desert, and there are travelers in the desert who have seen this poplar forest from afar, and they are all surprised.

Some people say that they were planted by the first aborigines who came to Lop Nur that year, and some people say that they are not.
