The waterways beneath the bazaar are like a tangled cobweb, and it's not just rats, slugs, centipedes and toads that live in them.

Kashiwazaki Fusakuo stands at the fork in the underground waterway.

"If you think about common sense, it should be on the right." The leader of the blue suit pinched his chin and thought with a frown, "Psychological research shows that men always like to turn right when they encounter forks in the road. Both Holmes and Watson are male, which means that the probability of them going to the right is ......"

The blue suits looked at each other.

Observing through the thick black mist distributed over his face, the leader of the "blue suit", Kashiwazaki Fusaku, was about thirty years old, and his short hair was very well groomed. The face is very ordinary, and he wears a pair of black-framed glasses, coupled with some lazy but polite behavior, if he stands in the office, he is like an ordinary young business manager, such a feeling of a successful person in society.

"Boss, it's obvious on the left......"

The tall and thin blue suit couldn't help but remind him.

"Oh, on the left? Then the battle group, go to the left and search. Kashiwazaki gave the order casually, "With your strength, it should be easy to catch those two people." I'll just go to the right. ”

On the left side of this fork in the road, there is a thin smell of blood that cannot be distinguished by human noses, while on the right side there is a faint smell of evil decay, and the blue suits who have accumulated a wealth of knowledge about mythical creatures know that it is a gathering place for ghouls.

Kashiwazaki stepped into the territory of the ghoul on the right with ease, whistling happily, seemingly not taking the task of arresting the two international terrorists seriously at all.

As he gradually stepped deeper into the underground tunnel. A low, warning roar rang out in the darkness, like a beast buried in the abyss. The only one who can make such a sound is a superior mythical creature that is more vicious than a ghoul.

"Well, this voice...... Tiger? Lion? Or is it a kitten? ”

Kashiwazaki continued to walk leisurely along the ancient steps for a few steps, but stopped when he approached one of the steps.

A faint explosion could be heard in the distance.

"Tsk, that's amazing. He is worthy of the famous Sherlock Holmes teacher. The leader of the blue suit scratched his cheek in annoyance, "After receiving the news, I reacted so quickly, it was only two days, but so many backhands were quickly arranged. I couldn't even understand how two men could accomplish so much in forty-eight hours - it would be remarkable to find out that the owner of the auction house was the host of Ygolonac, and to have a restraining poison prepared beforehand. Calculate a precise escape route. In advance, the dangerous underground waterways of the bazaar were filled with so many powerful mechanisms. Considering that you were in contact with the rebels in the Mexican desert three days ago, I envy you for your efficiency. ”

“………………”

In the darkness, a tall man gradually appeared, wearing a black cloak and holding an unabashedly automatic shotgun engraved with spells in his hand. When he walked under the light source, under the cloak showed a face with hard lines like a knife and an axe, and a slightly protruding nose, a dangerous person who appeared on the wanted lists of various civilizations around the world. Sherlock holmes.

"Don't be so tense, your agency has already killed the three of us...... Oh. Counting the bombs just now, five blue suits have already died in your hands. It's really worthy of Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who killed the members of the five strongest magician groups in the Far East as a mortal...... No wonder the royal families of four countries can be assassinated around the world. Stir up intercontinental unrest. ”

Half of his body was hidden in the darkness, Holmes picked up his shotgun and aimed it at Kashiwazaki's head.

“…… This from the very beginning, is it a trap? Artifact Fragments...... Is it fake? ”

The blue suit laughed heartily, "No." Not a trap. It was only a few weeks ago that we learned that the legendary 'Scepter of Wisdom' of the Astral Traveler had fallen into our universe. And all of them fell in the East China Sea of Asia. It took a lot of effort to find one, but the news that this second piece was in the auction house. We did know about it earlier, after all, it was in Shanghai. However, if you think about it with common sense, it is more advantageous for us to leave it here as bait to fish out many enemies hiding in the shadows...... And then there's Sherlock Holmes, and you're there. ”

A look of pain flashed across Holmes' face, and the shotgun in his hand trembled slightly.

"Hey, what's going on? Could it be Sherlock Holmes, were you injured before? Then don't be reckless, if a wise man like Sherlock Holmes joins the blue suit, I won't have to put a lot of thought into my work. After all, I also want to give myself a vacation to go home and play electric.,Speaking of which,The recent mobile game krypton gold is really terrible.,The body lì value limit is too exaggerated.,I want to set an alarm clock and get up in the middle of the night to brush it......"

Kashiwazaki stepped forward, and the mechanism on the stone steps was activated instantly. Four or five spring-driven bolts came from the side, and the shotgun in Holmes' hand opened fire at the same time.

A loud bang echoed through the narrow space, followed by the crackling of many tiny metal bullets bouncing on the ground.

The black liquid slowly faded from Kashiwazaki Buzuo's body, flowing like a living thing, neither the shotgun projectiles nor the venom-coated arrows could break through this demonic creature from an incomprehensible place of humanity, and the black water pressed towards Sherlock Holmes like a moving snake. The latter's face turned pale from the recoils of the shotgun, and the black cloak fell to the ground, revealing the tactical vest inside, the bandaged wound, and ...... A ring of high explosives wrapped around the waist.

At this moment, even Kashiwazaki's expression changed a little. The man on the other side simply threw the shotgun away, revealing the red button tied to his hand.

"The magician Kashiwazaki's demon is an invisible child...... Do you hear that, Sherlock, his messenger is the Invisible Child? That's the last thing I can do. I'm sorry. Later. You're the only one to fight......"

"Sherlock Holmes" finished saying this sentence into the microphone at the neckline, and looked up at Kashiwazaki Fusaku. He stepped up, then pressed the button for the explosives.

――――――

"Got it. Watson...... Thank you. ”

Even more than a kilometer from the detonation site, Holmes could still feel the tearing tremors. I'm afraid that there will be a small-scale collapse in the bazaar, and even Shanghai, which is overhead, will feel a small-scale earthquake wave......

The death of his best friend was a heart-rending pain for the British revolutionary, and he tried to turn his mind to the ongoing escape. There are not many props left on the body, and it is very dangerous to encounter even a blue suit again...... You must rush to the safe house as much as possible to get the equipment you have in the cellar.

After a big circle, Holmes turned back again. With an innate amazing memory. He had carved a map of the intricate underground passages into his mind, and just as the blue suits were chasing them in one direction, he turned his head and absconded back along a path towards where the auction venue was.

About fifteen minutes later, he got out of the sewage pipe and crawled into the auction house's kitchen.

There was just a case and the boss died again. The low-key auction house was temporarily cordoned off by the market's administrators. It was empty, and there was no one in it. Sherlock Holmes took off his coat. Throw it into the stove and burn it.

"How the hell did you mislead the other party's spell tracking?"

A man's voice sounded behind him.

Or did you miscalculate......

"If you kill me, you'll never get the artifact fragments."

Sherlock Holmes raised his hand high in surrender, and slowly turned around to look at the green-eyed Adrian.

The first day of the new year. He only felt that the man opposite him was extremely dangerous. Not only the intuition that has been honed over the years against mythical creatures, but also the personality traits that he deduces from many details due to his superhuman talent as a detective.

"They were mispositioned from the start. Watson and I have been swapping identities, even on wanted notices. They have also been using pictures of Watson. So they used the spell to locate it, and it was Watson who was tracking it all the time. ”

"The artifact fragment is on his body." A little girl's voice came from behind Adrian. "Blower failed, Mr. Detective."

Holmes calmly unbuttoned his waistcoat. A ring of explosives was exposed, as well as wires and buttons that extended into the palm of the hand.

"It's not 'put it in a place where only I know,' it's 'the explosives will detonate when I die,' and the artifact fragments will be destroyed by the explosives. I warn you that this artifact fragment is not really an immortal artifact...... It is a material that can be easily destroyed. ”

The atmosphere in the kitchen froze for a moment.

"Well, then, we can talk about it now." Sherlock Holmes spread his hands and said, "If you don't mind, there is a magician in a small blue suit following me and trying to break me to pieces." Especially, even when their team leader, Kashiwazaki, was present. ”

Adrian's pupils narrowed for a moment, he got out of the way and said to Xu Fugui who was standing outside the door, "Take him and these two little ghosts back to the office." I have something to deal with. ”

"Boss—"

Without waiting for Xu Fugui to stop him, Adrian had already drilled into the wastewater treatment channel. He was left with four confused men standing still.

"Uh...... We...... Looking for a place to rest first? ”

In the awkward silence, Xu Fugui stubbornly said. The situation was too distorted for the hapless young adventurer to grasp the situation.

"Have wine." Sherlock Holmes said.

"Have desserts." The twins said in unison.

"Uh...... Shall we take the subway back to the office......? ”

The firm's rookie clerk, the enigmatic twins, the vicious wanted criminals – they didn't know each other for more than twelve hours combined. No one raised any objections to this messy combination, and Xu Fugui returned to the ground with three tails in a daze.

Half an hour later, Kashiwazaki Fusaku and the remnants of the blue suit returned to the surface of the bazaar. At the beginning, there were almost twenty people in the special service force, and now there are only six people left.

"Oh, it's worthy of Teacher Adrian, who killed so many of us in one go, and his temper is still the same." Kashiwazaki shook his head and sorted out his clothes, the previous explosion actually didn't hurt him a bit, obviously the loss was huge, his tone was still the same contempt.

"It's a problem. Teacher Holmes ran away, and the fragments couldn't get their hands, so they could only take Mr. Watson's head to deal with it? If you think about it with common sense, half of this month's salary will be deducted, so can you only buy pirated games......"

Kashiwazaki shook his head in annoyance, lifted his head with angry eyes, and walked towards the intersection in the distance.

"But...... Let's ask for reinforcements first. The operation force has lost so much in one go, and some troublesome guys are probably already trying to fish in troubled waters......" (to be continued......
