Chapter 59 Everything is fine

No one would have thought that it would snow in London in November.

However, in the early morning a few days ago, thin snowflakes fell down without warning. Perhaps these small white particles reflected the light around the clouds, making the fog over London cleaner.

This is the rarest and most sunny weather this year.
The snow reached its peak at night, and the street lamps and the rare trees were covered with some silvery white. The entire Thames River was like a dream under the lights from the huge clock tower. What was even more magical was that it had already snowed, but The temperature was not so cold, the moment the silvery white particles touched the street, they melted into wet water stains, making the air in the long street extraordinarily fresh.

Sherlock took a bottle of wine worth two pounds and walked down the stairs. Xiao Sanhua came out of the brand new cat's nest, with a baby voice, but then called out to Sherlock ferociously, and then slipped away in a daze. Go back and continue its sweet dream.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

Mr. Detective knocked on the landlord's door.

This bottle of wine is a gift. Because the landlord had dinner last time, as a tenant, he also had to give some responses. Such a staggered reciprocity proves that you have been approved by the landlord and can live here for a long time.

Although it seems a bit cumbersome, it is an essential sophistication.

Because wanting to own a property in this area of ​​London is more difficult than witnessing the mayor’s slap in the face again, so most people need to rent a house, and often it takes decades to rent a house. Birth, old age, sickness and death in the dwelling place.

In this case, the relationship between the landlord and the tenant will become extremely delicate, even similar to a kind of relative outside the blood.

"I found that you always stay in the room and don't come out. It seems that you are the kind of person who is very busy."

Mrs. Hudson served some peas, the most common vegetable of the season.

There is no meat in this meal. As a commoner in the lower city, it is naturally impossible to have meat in every meal, but the landlady's cooking skills are not bad. Sherlock even wondered if he should offer to raise the rent himself in exchange for daily rent. The right to go downstairs to eat.

"The nature of my work requires thinking, so sometimes I shut myself in a room," he says with a laugh.

Of course, what Sherlock mainly does in the room these days is to sleep.
Or rather, expanding the chassis in hell.

Those tentacles obviously have an extremely terrifying reproductive ability. Under the protection of the domain, they can easily get into the bodies of those demons who dare not move, turn them alive into a nest to nourish themselves, and then grow more Tentacles, take the land of hell for yourself.

And this method of plural division also made the expansion of the domain faster and faster. At this moment, the entire Baker Street in front of Sherlock has become his territory, and he is even about to occupy the two adjacent blocks.

That is to say, if he wants cat food now, he can open a void crack at the intersection more than 500 meters away with a thought, and then let a carrion dog secretly grab a bag of cat food and retract it, and then He ran to his side and opened the void crack to stick his head out, and handed the cat food to himself.

You can go whoring for free for a whole 23p without making a fuss.

Of course, Sherlock is a legal citizen, he would never do such a thing! !

He just complained, why cat food can't pass through the void crack
In addition, during the expansion process, our Mr. Detective also encountered some troubles, that is, his tentacles seem to be able to erode only those low-level small demons, and the parasitic corpse dogs are really fighting power Not so strong, which made it seem a bit helpless when they encountered a few larger reptilian demons when they occupied the Pormos block.

Those demons don't know if they are insensitive to fear, or if they are of a slightly higher level and can withstand the deterrent power of some domains. In short, they are not motionless in the domain, but will fight back.

As soon as the tentacles approached, they would roll and bite, and the carrion dogs would pounce on them, and they would shoot back with spikes all over their bodies to fight back.

This slows down the rate of expansion dramatically
Sherlock was troubled by this.

And he also discovered that there is a limit to the number of his tentacles parasitizing, and he can only parasitize three very weak demons. If there are more, those little tentacles will not do it.

Is it because his contract ability is still in its infancy?

There is no way to know the answer now, so I can only slowly improve the fit between myself and the tentacles, so as to verify it.

The peas were as intense as ever and were delicious with the pasta.

Oh, Italy is a place name, but I don’t know where it is. After the unification of the empire, most countries changed their names.

"Did those debtors come to you recently?" Sherlock poured another glass of wine for the landlady and asked.

"No, they have stopped a lot recently, and I always feel as if there is a big day coming."

Mrs. Hudson is a very cautious but easy-going person. In these days of getting along, she has been able to share a lot about herself with Sherlock.

After all, if you are a neighbor for a long time, you can't hide some things.
"Actually, I've always wanted to ask, why do you need loan sharks? You don't seem like the kind of person who needs a lot of money to turn around." Sherlock asked.

Compared with actively reasoning and guessing, in fact, sometimes, being able to use communication to get the other party to actively say something can allow him to experience the feeling of life more.

Mrs. Hudson took a sip of the wine, looked at the cherry-red liquid with drunken eyes, hesitated:
"Actually, I'm not a wife. I'm not married." She said slowly with obvious apology: "I just lied to you to avoid some troubles. I hope you can understand, and I really need money."

Her face began to turn red, and against the backdrop of the gas lamp, she seemed to show the innocence of a young girl again.
"Don't look at me living alone all the time, but I have relatives.

My dad is in the hospital. He was a steam pipe worker who lost consciousness in an accident a year ago and hasn't woken up until now.

That's when I took out loan sharks in order to pay for medical bills.
Oh, I also have a younger brother who was conscripted five years ago. He was transferred to the front line to transport supplies and should not encounter too much danger.

But he had not written to his family for two years.

I have been paying the phone bill, which costs 15 shillings a month. I'm just an ordinary person. I don't need to use the phone for anything. I just hope that one day, when he calls home, I can answer it.

Tell him everything is fine at home."
