Chapter 158: Admission Test (4)
High Diving looked at Sherlock, who hadn't seen her in a few days, and she looked much weaker. Her cheeks were sunken, her eyes were heavily shadowed, her lips were bloodless, and all that seemed to be her big dark eyes seemed to burn with her last life.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Gao Qian frowned. He glanced at Xu Zhe, who was standing a few steps away, Xu Zhe remained silent, but a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.
"It's nothing, I've lost some blood...... Sherlock smiled lightly, then raised his hand and patted the high dive on the back, "What good things are hidden?"
The hammer of the high dive was inserted into the belt of the lower back, the hammer head was hidden under the collar of the back of the neck, and the long hammer handle peeked out from under the jacket, like a tail.
Gao Qian was a little uncomfortable, this hammer was indeed too inconvenient to carry, but he somehow just looked at those demon-breaking knives unpleasantly. Not just the Demon Breaker, he couldn't look down on all the swords. Before leaving, when Ji Lin persuaded him to choose a new weapon, he picked up the weapons pile, and finally chose this long-handled hammer with a pitch-black body.
"It's nothing," Sherlock distracted with a slight cough, "So, what are you guys doing here?"
"We got reports that something strange was happening at the orphanage, and we took over. Sherlock was an understatement.
"What kind of strange event?" said the high dive, glancing at Sherlock's team. Although the black-clothed team members in uniforms and helmets lowered the muzzles of their weapons, they still surrounded Ji Lin and the others. Ji Lin looked a little anxious, he reached into his pocket to get something, and immediately a man in black raised the strange-looking gun in his hand: "Don't move." ”
"Is it okay to make a phone call?" Ji Lin said coldly.
"No, I can't. The black-clad team's voice was equally cold.
"Who the hell are you? The legendary Group A?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't. ”
Gao Qian gave Ji Lin a look and signaled him to be restless.
"Probably haunted or something. Sherlock gestured to the fourth floor, where the glass was completely shattered, "Our men tried to enter through the window, but were attacked. ”
"See what's inside?" asked Gao Qian.
Sherlock gestured to the team members not far away, and a young man in a black uniform with a somewhat tattered uniform trotted over and said, "Team leader." ”
Sherlock reached out to check the damage to the team's lightly armored uniforms, "Not hurt, right?"
"Report team leader, no, it's just some broken glass, it's all blocked by equipment. ”
"Okay, report back on what you've observed. ”
"Yes, the fourth floor is divided into east and west areas, and due to the incredible report that happened before, all the children who were originally scattered in various rooms were concentrated in the east side activity common area, which is the big room we tried to force our way into. ”
"What does the incredible report mean?" interjected.
According to the dean, the children on the fourth floor have been in and out since last month. Sherlock explained to the high dive, "At night, even adults can't enter the fourth-floor area. If you force your way in, you will be attacked by an unknown force. Fortunately, no children have been found to have been harmed. ”
Sherlock then motioned for the team to continue reporting.
"We just observed outside the window that there were 10 toddlers between the ages of three and five in the room, as well as two babies and a caregiver, and everything seemed normal until we were attacked. The team member paused and added, "Except for a little girl, who reacted strangely, but maybe the child was too young?"
Sherlock motioned for the team to return to their positions and turned to the high diver: "Okay, you already know what I'm going to do here, so in exchange, tell me what you know." ”
"Don't be so realistic," Gao Qian smiled. To be honest, apart from knowing that this place was heavily polluted, where did he know anything about the situation, and he believed that Ji Lin would not know a little more than he did. After all, as soon as they arrived, they were kicked out of the Infernal Realm by an inexplicable force, and the informant didn't have time to pick up.
Sherlock looked at the high potential and smiled, "It's still a secret? ”
Gao Qian thought about it and beckoned to Ji Lin. Sherlock nodded slightly, a hole appeared in the encirclement, and Ji Lin walked over with a cold face.
Sherlock looked at Ji Lin curiously, and his gaze stopped on the black suitcase in Ji Lin's hand, revealing a look of understanding.
Gao Qian repeated what Sherlock said just now, Ji Lin frowned slightly, and said to Sherlock: "This Xia team leader, we will deal with the situation here, you are ......" Ji Lin swallowed back a few words from ordinary humans, "You can close the team." ”
Sherlock snorted twice, put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, and approached Ji Lin: "As for me, it's not been a year or two since I've been handling a case, and it's the first time I've seen someone who dares to argue with our group A, where did you come from?"
Sherlock is not tall, and he looks pale and weak at the moment, but his eyes are so bright and sharp that they are frightening, Ji Lin couldn't help but take a step back: "I'm doing this for your good, don't think that you will be invincible in the world, you can't deal with the things in it." ”
"Oh?" Sherlock smiled, "Looks like you know what's going on there, and you must know how to deal with it, right?"
Ji Lin was speechless. In fact, for heavy pollution, there are usually several possibilities: demons, evil spirits, witchcraft, or summons. According to what Sherlock said earlier, it is likely that evil spirits are at work on the fourth floor. But before seeing the scene in person, Ji Lin didn't want to jump to conclusions.
It's just that the mocking smile on the corner of Sherlock's mouth angered Ji Lin.
"Of course I know. Ji Lin sneered and raised his voice, "I have also heard about your group A, I have caught a few low-level monsters and solved a few supernatural cases, so I thought that I was an evil nemesis and a guardian of justice." I don't know that you are ignorant and ridiculous!"
Wow, don't you want to be so blunt. Gao Qian frowned on the side, and was about to open his mouth to play a round, but he heard Ji Lin continue to speak emotionally.
"You know how many monsters are wreaking havoc out there right now? Do you know what terrible things are happening in those sparsely populated and impoverished mountain villages? You don't care, you are hiding in this bustling big city, complacently asking for credit with a few haunted events, what do you think you are in Group A? You are nothing!"
Sherlock stared at Ji Lin deadly, his chest heaving violently. Gao Qian looked at her with some concern, and she looked like she was going to faint in the next second.
Xu Zhe on the side had already stepped forward and said coldly: "Team leader, this kid is so arrogant, it's better to go back and talk well." ”
Gao Qian turned his head to see that a team of black-clad uniforms had silently surrounded the place, obviously they had also heard Ji Lin's accusation, and the gaze staring at Ji Lin behind the helmet was cold and unkind.
A cold aura surrounded the place, and Gao Qian felt his hands and feet tingle, and he glanced at a small man with cold eyes on the periphery of the encirclement. The guy was not wearing a helmet, his hair was short and standing on end, and Gao Qian felt that he saw faint sparks fluttering between the man's hair, like the static sparks that could occasionally be seen in a dark room.
