Being overly cautious is not a good character, but respecting your opponent is a good habit.

Sherlock's caution didn't really have any reason, he just felt that someone like Augustine the Great should have done a better job, although it was already perfect, and from all angles, it had steadily suppressed all the factors that were unfavorable to him, just waiting for the castling ceremony to crush the competitors, and then he could rise to the top.

But he didn't make his opponents desperate.

Soul visual device.

This glimmer of hope was still firmly in his hand, and after going to meet Mrs. Hudson tonight, the handwriting from decades ago had amplified that hope a little.

Although this hope was obtained by sitting on that machine day and night, it was obtained by Mrs. Hudson's identity, and even there may be some inexplicable meaning of holy light in it.

But Augustine the Great could have done a little better.

Sherlock actually didn't know, maybe the emperor was really old, and when he was about to come to the end of his life, he didn't have more energy to turn over the clouds, but Sherlock just felt that .

Be cautious at first, and then be more cautious

After seeing [Crimson], he was a little relieved, everyone was equal in front of time, and he didn't know what kind of tricks the opponent would prepare, but he was responsible for the data during the day and the establishment of a contract with Crimson at night, doubling the already incredibly fast speed, then it should always have some effect.

"Then please extend the soul line collection device to this side." Sherlock said this to Professor George, and prepared to leave.

But as soon as he turned his head, his vision seemed to see the other end of the vast clearing, which was also covered with a similar curtain.

"What's over there?" He asked, confused.

"Oh, it's the demon of Hopkins, it was in transit when the factory was built, and the airship encountered a cloudy weather on the way, and it was delayed for a lot of time, and it only arrived yesterday."

Sherlock was slightly silent, looking at the huge curtain at the end of the hundred meters, and smiled after a while.

A third-order archdemon, supplemented by another third-order archdemon, this configuration is the same as when Professor Darwin controlled the experiment back then.

Thinking of the recruitment of personnel, the construction of the factory, so many consumables, and the confidentiality measures before and after, Moriarty's kid is really bloody.

The morning came, as always, the repair of the factory area was seven or eight hours ahead of schedule, and when the dew just condensed, all the scientific researchers put on their work clothes again and went to their respective posts.

However, these people did not complain about the lack of a half-day vacation, but were extremely excited.

Those who are engaged in scientific research, in the final analysis, are actually seeking a posthumous name, so the experiment they are participating in now is undoubtedly the one with the greatest fame and fortune in the whole world, especially at this moment, the original delusion has become a clearly visible hope, so this group of guys is not to mention rest time, even if they use stimulants as water every day and soak rice with chicken blood, there will be no half a word.

However, after a long morning's work, the group seemed to find that it was not only themselves who had been beaten, but also the team of testers in charge of the data output! And it's highly refined chicken blood!

Originally, the efficiency of that team had reached an incredible level, but I didn't expect that today's efficiency would be increased by a full 6 hours.

That's right, another 6 hours faster!!

The batch that originally took at least 10 hours to complete was completed in just four hours, leaving only a bunch of data sources that had no time to do preliminary induction, and constantly scrubbing the cognition of all the staff In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the area of the small factory was really small, some people would definitely think that inside the wall, there was a reinforced company of testers working day and night.

Sherlock, of course, would not have known what a terrible shock he had given to the crowd in the factory by completing his work ahead of schedule, and now, he was walking alone in a corridor at the edge of the factory, and after turning a few corners, a door appeared at the end of the hallway, where Hopkins was already leaning against the wall, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Sherlock coming, a trace of extremely complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

"I'm not surprised that you want to contact the third-order Great Demon right now, after all, you're a monster, but if you tell me that you have accelerated your soul line matching efficiency by 6 hours, then I'll be scolding!"

His tone was serious, as if he really could curse.

And Sherlock just smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, how can I improve by 6 hours."

Hopkins finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"I've improved by 16 hours, and even tomorrow's ones are ready, so you wake up early tomorrow."

After hearing this, Hopkins stood for a few seconds, then rubbed his face with an extremely heavy expression, and finally held back two words:

"Okay."

He didn't curse, because the guy standing in front of him was not human.

He could only crumple his cognition into scum again, throw it on the ground and step on it twice, and finally put on a disdainful smile as if he had accepted it.

What else can I do, this guy is like this every time, and he throws out a dumbfounded thing coldly, regardless of whether the person who hears it can accept it or not.

The door was slowly pushed open, and on the other side of the door, there was a huge space where [Crimson] was displayed, and the curling wind drilled through the crack in the door, blowing the two people in front of the door.

"When I first planned the experimental plant before, I knew that you would definitely want to try to establish a contractual relationship with that third-order great demon, so the Holy See transferred my demon over in the name of going out on a mission."

Hopkins walked in the wide open space while following Sherlock and said, it is estimated that the content of the topic involves the third-order archdemon, so his expression looks a lot more relaxed, after all, Sherlock is only a second-order contractor, and in this regard, he has the absolute right to speak:

"You're just a second-stage contractor, so you may not know, but in fact, in the third-stage, if the contractor wants to increase his compatibility with his own demons, the fastest way is to fight.

Feeling your demon's behavior, habits, smoothness of movements, and feedback when you're injured in battle are all effective ways to increase your fit.

Therefore, in most cases, the contractors on the front line are more effective than the clergy stationed in the Imperial Forte, after all, they are all tempered between countless lives and deaths.

Of course, there are exceptions, like me. Don't look at it, I've never been on the battlefield, but in the combat evaluation of the Inquisition, my level is no worse than those veterans who have been on the front line for more than ten years.

I don't know if I told you, but I'm actually a genius in the field of contractors. ”

Finally being able to show his strength in front of Sherlock, Hopkins felt that he had some confidence to speak:

"And when it comes to the third stage, the strength of the contractor actually depends on the difference between their demons, after all, no matter how powerful the human race is, it can't be compared to a third-order great demon.

Oh, and that's not absolute.

For example, the previous front-line officer called Baskerville.

Judging from the information available to the Inquisition, his own combat power has reached the level of a wild third-order great demon.

It's a freak that even Dante himself praised.

It's hard to imagine what would happen if someone who didn't open his eyes provoked that kind of person.

I guess there's only one dead end."
