Chapter 413: I Need a Guide
Sherlock could almost guess that he couldn't go to Hell as long as there was no light shrouded in it, so he hadn't seen the blood-red sky since he traveled to the shores of Redek Strait.
And now that I see it again, I really miss it.
The car was moving quickly in a certain direction, and it could be seen that the driver was very nervous, and Sherlock saw that the speed of the car had reached a speed comparable to that of a battlefield train, and it could be seen that the technology of this world was indeed much higher than the world he was in before.
Looking through the window, the surroundings are a little desolate, there is no grass and trees on the dry land, the wind and sand are very large, the car is driving at high speed and the oncoming wind produces a fierce competition, so that the car outside the whirring sound, accompanied by the wind, is the unique scorching wind and sand in hell, but Sherlock has seen before, most of them are the wind in the bloody London, and here, there are not too many buildings to obstruct it, the wind and sand are even bigger.
Of course, it is said that it is "barren" and "unobstructed by buildings", which is relatively speaking, and there are actually many debris of buildings on both sides of the road, most of which are eroded by the wind and sand, and under the continuous scorching wind and speed, it seems to be covered with a blood-red halo.
And if you look into the distance.
Sherlock saw an incomparably dense complex of buildings.
He finally saw the towering iron coffin-like structure that had been painted in the Divine Comedy.
These buildings were taller than any building Sherlock had ever seen, and in his original world, it would never have been possible to construct such a huge building, and in the mirror, even if he lowered his head to the bottom, he would only be able to see the top of those buildings, and the surface of these buildings was obviously a special material, and the whole body was black, and there was no sign of corruption in the wind and sand, which was in stark contrast to the barren and dilapidated ruins nearby.
It might be a city in hell.
However, if you look at the concept that "hell also has a projection of reality", the place where you are now should have a corresponding position in the world you once was.
So where are you now?
It shouldn't be Antarctica, after all, there is no snow here.
Forehead. But Sherlock really couldn't tell if there was snow in the south pole of hell.
Also, why is it that when I am in London, I can see the strange sun in the sky, but here, I can't see it in the sky?
Sherlock just thought about these problems in his mind a little, and he didn't bother thinking about it, the top priority now is to find a quiet place as soon as possible, the gas pipe exploded just now, and he should only be able to buy himself about 10 minutes to escape, and when those people react, they will definitely chase after them, the communication technology of this world is too advanced, and a thing the size of a fingernail in the helmet can complete wireless communication, which is in the original world, However, only the military has a top-notch scientific research product, and the volume is huge, and it needs to build a large number of signal towers along the way to achieve.
So, he looked at the doctor in the car.
Forehead. Yes, in fact, there was a doctor on duty in the car, and in the last few minutes, this doctor had been anxiously observing Ms. Lilith's injuries, asking her where she was uncomfortable or something, but Lilith was now very aware of her situation, so she didn't pay attention to the other party.
The doctor thought that she was frightened or didn't want to speak because of her injuries, so he vigorously measured her blood pressure, heart rhythm and breathing, and cautiously tried to see where she was bleeding from serious injuries.
But as a result, I found that the other party seemed to be healthy except for a faster heart rate.
"Hey" Suddenly, he saw the guard escorting Ms. Lilith to the car turned his head towards him, and then muffled in his helmet and said, "I'm seriously injured, you can treat me first." ”
As he spoke, he also removed the blood pressure monitor from Lilith's hand and tied it to his arm.
"Wait a minute! Monitors are for important people! The doctor said immediately.
"In this car, I'm an important person!" Sherlock said angrily, then took off the oxygen mask from Lilith's mouth and took a few puffs on his face.
He brought it for the other party just now, just to warn her not to speak, and now there is no need for this.
Lilith is a smart person, she saw that the car had gone so far, so that said, herself, the doctor, and the driver in this car were basically all Sherlock's captives, so she simply sat up and sighed helplessly to the young doctor in front of her: "Listen to him." ”
"Huh?"
"Listen to him, do whatever you want, if you don't want to die."
Lilith said, and Sherlock, who was next to her, ripped off her helmet, revealing her bloodied face.
At this moment, the whole carriage suddenly fell into silence, the young male doctor was obviously stupid, in fact, he had already looked stupid once a few seconds ago, that was because he saw that Ms. Lilith who was sitting up was so beautiful, his heart rippled, and his mind even made up for saving the other party's life, and then the other party was grateful to himself, and there were some bloody but very common feelings between the two sides.
And five seconds later, when he saw the face that was not very good-looking, but now after several days of torture, and countless blood and injuries, his whole brain buzzed.
The driver also saw Sherlock's bloodshot eyes in the rearview mirror, and his hands trembled in fright, and the car shook violently.
Sherlock had known for a long time that there would be such a scene, so the gun in his hand was already on the driver's head:
"Don't put on the brakes, don't try to contact anyone else, I don't care what you want to do, anyway, if your hand makes something I think is wrong, I'll shoot immediately, I don't care if I wronged you or not."
The driver felt the hard muzzle of the gun on the back of his head, and then looked at the other party's shape, and agreed without even thinking about it.
Sherlock looked at the young doctor in front of him again:
"And you, I like the profession of a doctor, I have two friends who are doctors, so in a moment you bandage my wounds and take out shrapnel, but don't inject me with anything, and I won't take any medicine.
As long as you do well, you don't have to die.
But if you don't do it well, or if you do something clever about yourself, then I'll grab the roots of your thighs and tear them to both sides until you stop screaming. ”
"You don't need to scare them like that, I'll let them cooperate with you." Lilith listened to Sherlock's frightening speech, and saw the look of the doctor on the other side who was almost about to pee his pants, and reminded helplessly.
"Just in case." Sherlock said, then glanced at the gauze in the first aid kit with his eyes: "Let's go"
In this way, the ambulance drove quickly towards the city under Sherlock's signal, and after more than half an hour, those huge buildings got closer and closer, until the car drove into their shadows, and the flow of people around them gradually increased, and the clothes they wore were not different, except that those buildings were seen in the flashing lights and the speeding cars around them, which made Sherlock rush to a sense of novelty.
After a few more moments, the doctor finally bandaged Sherlock's body with trembling hands before he motioned for the driver to pull over next to a small alley.
"Very well, you guys have been very cooperative along the way, I won't kill you, but in order to prevent you from doing something against me immediately after I leave, I have decided to let you sleep for a while" Sherlock said to the driver and the doctor after getting out of the car.
"However, there was no anesthetic on board."
"I don't need anesthetics, and I'm more at a more physical approach." Sherlock said, and poof! Poop! In two clicks, the two men were knocked unconscious.
Lilith looked at Sherlock, didn't seem to care whether he knocked the two people unconscious, or killed, and just asked calmly, "What about me?" ”
"Sorry, I need a guide."
"I knew it." Lilith sighed, obviously thinking of this ending: "So where are you going to go now?" ”
Sherlock was taking off the driver's clothes at this moment, and his image must not be able to walk around the street, so he needed to change his outfit, and then went to the car to find a bottle of water, and then used the doctor's white coat to wipe his face as clean as possible, although it was still pale, and there was still blood left between the cracks in the skin, but fortunately it was not too noticeable
After all this was done, he scrambled the gun to his waist, covered it with his clothes, and said to Lilith, "I'm too weak now, don't let me always order you, you should know what I need." ”
Lilith nodded, as Sherlock said, she was a smart person, and she knew that the guy who kidnapped her was also a smart person, so she knew that she didn't have much choice in her situation right now.
"Let's go, I'll take you to something to eat first."
She said, then took off her lab coat and threw it into the ambulance.
After all, walking around the street in a white lab coat will still attract some unnecessary eyes, and before throwing the white coat, she also showed Sherlock that she doesn't have anything in her pocket.
Sherlock was pleased with her actions, and the two walked out of the alley side by side.
Truth be told, the size of the city seems huge, and the density of the huge buildings is somewhat unexpected by Sherlock, as if the people of this world are trying to get more residents to live in more cramped places.
The road is narrow, but it is extremely complex, this complexity is not just a flat concept, look up, you can see more roads and viaducts staggered overhead, like a spider web of extremely exaggerated depth, they are stacked on top of each other, blocking the blood-red sunlight that is not too bright, fortunately, there are enough lighting equipment everywhere, so that the surroundings seem quite bright, but this kind of technology and congestion will still make people have a certain depressed mood.
Sherlock walked through the crowd, observing the gazes and expressions of everyone who came in front of him, and noticed that they would occasionally look at him, and then quickly attracted by Lilith's beautiful appearance, but only surprised that she was too pretty, which was good, because there was no need to worry, Lilith was a well-known celebrity in this world, and caused trouble for herself.
Passing by a street store, Lilith wisely bought a pair of sunglasses to cover her face, and a pack of tissues for Sherlock to wipe off the blood stains on his face before leading him into a restaurant.
The waiter warmly welcomed the two people in, and also took the initiative to introduce the two into a double suite where only couples can sit, and there were a few roses on the table.
It seems that he treats these two people as a couple, although Lilith's face is covered, but it can still be seen that she is an extremely beautiful woman, and Sherlock's face, if you can be accompanied by such a beautiful woman, then he should be an extremely rich, or talented man.
After being a waiter for a long time, this ability to read words and colors is still there.
Soon, the waiter brought the menu and was very respectfully ready to order for two people.
"We have carefully bred meat pigeons here, which have never left the breeding barn since they hatched, with absolutely zero-radiation meat quality, the same zero-radiation and zero-mutation ingredients as well as potatoes, red shrimp, and red wine that has been preserved since 2170."
Hearing this, Sherlock frowned slightly, because Lilith had told him before that it was 2027 AD, but it didn't matter, and he politely stretched out his hand to interrupt the waiter's introduction:
"Well, there's no more practical food?"
"More practical??" The waiter asked tentatively.
"That's it. Rice, bread, eggs, the kind that is high in sugar and has a strong sense of satiety. ”
Sherlock could see that the restaurant was of a very high grade, so he had tried his best to suppress his attitude, if it was in a small street shop, he would like to let the boss directly bring all the bread in the back kitchen, don't grind.
"Oh, okay, we have freshly baked Jingmai bread in the kitchen today, as well as some macaroni, I don't know if you need to go with mushroom sauce or meat sauce, there are meat options."
Sherlock's hand under the table was already shaking, and he really wanted to pull out his gun and put it at the waiter's head, tell him to shut up, go to the back kitchen and see whatever he could eat, and serve it to himself!
"It doesn't need to be so cumbersome, you just need to serve what you can eat in the store within 1 minute, hot or cold, no need to cook, no plating, go quickly!
Oh, and order me a little red shrimp and the red wine you just mentioned, mine can be a little slower. ”
Lilith smiled and said to the waiter, now that she had taken off her glasses, she watched the other party's heart sway, nodded quickly, and exited the room
