Chapter 165: Arthur's Letter (1)
"Tony, there's an old friend coming for you!" On this day, Monet was jet lag, and suddenly Nicole walked in and said to him with a mysterious face.
"Old friends? Which old friend? Monet asked casually.
"I think you first met someone in the United States, but you haven't seen each other in years!" Nicole prompted.
"The first person you knew? And it's been gone for years, I can't remember, tell me who it is! Monet asked directly.
"The first woman to betray you......"
Before Nicole could finish speaking, Monet couldn't help but exclaim, "You mean Wendy?" ”
Nicole nodded and replied, "That's right, it's her!" ”
"Why did she come all of a sudden?" Monet asked as he got dressed.
Nicole shook her head and replied, "I don't know, but she said she had a very, very important thing for you!" ”
After getting dressed and coming to the living room, Monet saw Wendy who had been absent for more than ten years, and now she is naturally no longer a flower girl, but she is plump and mature, and has another charm, but her expression is a little wrong, especially in a black mourning dress, it seems that her relatives have suffered misfortune recently.
Seeing Monet, Wendy got up and said, "Tony, I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye back then!" ”
Monet waved his hand and said, "It's all in the past!" ”
Then he pointed to her clothes and asked, "Is this a relative who has passed away?" ”
Wendy nodded and replied, "Well, my husband Arthur passed away due to illness half a month ago. ”
"That's unfortunate!" Monet echoed casually.
"Well, in fact, I came this time to fulfill Arthur's last wish before he died, and he has a letter asking me to hand it over to you myself!" With that, Wendy took out a letter and handed it to Monet.
Monet didn't even open it, and found that this letter should be very thick and definitely a lot, but the problem is that he didn't know this Arthur at all, where did he have so many things to say to himself?
So Monet said to Wendy: "This letter is too thick, I will read it slowly tonight......"
But before Monet could finish speaking, Wendy interrupted: "No, Arthur said that you must read this letter in front of me, and he said that you must have a lot of questions for me, and as long as you read the first page, you will definitely be eager to read the whole letter!" ”
"Oh? Is this Mr. Arthur so confident? Monet said casually while opening the envelope, and sure enough, although there were only two simple sentences on the first page, Monet was immediately excited, because he saw that the first page read: "Hello Detective Downing, I am your eternal friend Professor Moriarty!" ”
"Arthur, Professor Moriarty?" Monet asked Wendy excitedly.
Wendy asked puzzledly, "Isn't Professor Moriarty a character in Sherlock Holmes?" But Arthur has said that he likes Professor Moriarty very much, why do you ask, Tony? ”
"Because a few years ago, there was a guy who claimed to be Professor Moriarty who was messing with me behind my back, and even sent someone to my study to steal the manuscript, I always wanted to find him, but I never found him, and Arthur actually claimed to be Professor Moriarty on the first page of the letter!" Monet explained.
"But Arthur, why should he trouble you? Is it because of me? Wendy guessed.
Monet said in his heart, this may be your own passion, but maybe Arthur did misunderstand, so he made trouble with me behind his back, which makes sense.
But when he looked at it next, he knew that this was not the case at all, because on the second page Arthur asked, "Tony-Monsieur Monet, are you from the next century?" Although I don't know the specific year before you traveled over, I think it must have been after 2000, otherwise you wouldn't have seen "Titanic" and "Detective Conan"! ”
Seeing this, Monet was shocked, because this was the biggest secret in his heart, and he had never told anyone about it, how could this Arthur know?
Fortunately, Arthur gave an explanation in the next sentence: "Don't be too surprised, the reason why I know this, the answer is very simple, because I also traveled over, I traveled from 2018 to 1900."
I think Mr. Monet, you have crossed into the body of a shipwreck on the Titanic, although the situation I crossed is much stronger than yours, at least not so between life and death, but the environment is much worse than yours, because I crossed into a seven-year-old child, this is nothing, the key is that the family environment is too poor, the mother is an X woman, the father is a drunkard, if I hadn't crossed over, it is estimated that this poor little Arthur would have learned badly, of course, I can't be called a good person, But it's finally a little bit more advanced! ”
Seeing this, Monet finally understood why this "Professor Moriarty" did not send a letter to him until after his death, because the situation of the two is standard, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and one world cannot allow two traversers to exist at the same time, otherwise the two can only live one, after all, this secret is too terrifying, and the second person must not be allowed to know.
Looking at Monet's uncertain expression, Wendy asked curiously, "Tony, what's wrong with you?" Did Arthur say anything excessive? ”
"Oh, nothing, it's just that his letter reminds me of a lot of the past!" Monet said perfunctorily.
"Mr. Monet, do you know how excited and frightened I was when I saw "Titanic"? It's only this one, but I'm completely sure you're a time-traveler like me, but I don't know which country or year you're from!
But the subsequent publication of "In Vain" made me a little puzzled, are you not the only one who crossed over? Is this Mr. Morgan Robertson too? And before you and I crossed over?
But then I learned of Mr. Robertson's death, which made me put all my energy on you, and it happened that I met poor Wendy who didn't find you because you went to Hollywood, so I lived on the streets, in order to understand you, I took Wendy to me, and I didn't expect to accompany me until now, in fact, she is a very good girl, but unfortunately I can't and can't let her into my heart......"
PS: Yesterday when I was scanning the book, I saw a copy of "My Doppelganger is the Emperor", although it was okay to write, but until now there are more than 50 chapters, and I haven't used this doppelganger, in my opinion, it is a serious waste of gold fingers, so I want me to write a "My doppelganger is the richest man"? I just don't know if I can pass the review if I write it like this......
