Chapter 116 Unexpected encounter

When he saw that arm, Patrick's whole body fell into panic about to collapse.With a violent shake of his hand, he instinctively wanted to shake off the bracelet.

However, at this moment, something that frightened Patrick even more happened.

The arm that seemed to belong to the deceased suddenly turned around, twisted into a shape that ordinary people could not understand, and grabbed his wrist.

Patrick: (, #Д)
Patrick was terrified immediately, he shook his arm desperately, and the other hand tried to break the palm that was holding him tightly.

But I don't know why, the cold palm that grabbed him seemed to be filled with steel, and he couldn't break it apart no matter what.

At this time, another thing that surprised Patrick even more happened.

He found that the mental power in his body had actually moved without his own intervention.And the direction of those spiritual powers is the string of slightly shining bracelets.

You must know that as a first-level transcendent, he does not have the ability to transmit spiritual power outside his body.

But at this time, his mental power can flow smoothly into the bracelet, which can fully explain that this bracelet is an extraordinary item of unknown origin.

This discovery made Patrick wonder whether he should be happy or sad.

If he is lucky, he may soon own the first supernatural item in his life; but if he is unlucky, the first supernatural item in his life may also be the last supernatural item in his life. .

Judging from the current situation, the probability of misfortune should be even greater.

Thinking of this, Patrick felt a sense of frustration that he had just escaped from the clutches of the devil, and then fell into a dead end immediately.

In short, no matter what the situation is right now, he must first break free from this terrible palm, because if he doesn't go up to take a breath, he will die at the bottom of this cold and dark lake due to lack of oxygen.

So he continued to swing his arms vigorously. At this moment, it seemed that under the influence of the spiritual power poured into the bracelet, this string of strange and strange bracelets actually had some mystical meaning with Patrick's consciousness. association.

When Patrick realized the existence of this connection, he couldn't help looking at the bracelet twice, and something even more unexpected happened to him.Accompanied by his gaze, the string of bracelets moved from the cold corpse's arm to his arm in an instant, as if alive.

And with this kind of movement, the corpse that was tightly gripping his wrist like it was poured with steel suddenly loosened up as if it had lost all its strength.

【How is this going? ] Patrick was full of doubts at the moment, but he had no time to think about it.Because his body was constantly warning him at this moment, he knew that what he needed to do most at this moment was to float to the surface, and then take a deep and violent inhalation of several mouthfuls of air.

Patrick no longer cared about the corpse in the water, nor the bracelet on his arm, he swung the lake water a few times, making his body jump to the horizontal level like an arrow fired from the water .

"Hoo hoo,"

His head came out of the water, took two deep breaths, and looked around again, but found no possible pursuers, which made him slightly relieved, and quickly swam to the shore of the lake.

Because of the ups and downs in his mood just now, he failed to notice the biting cold temperature of the outside world.At this moment, when his mood finally calmed down, he realized how cold the current environment was.

The cold wind was blowing, and he could only rely on his own body to resist, and his body was covered with icy lake water, which made the cold even more powerful.

For the convenience of swimming, he threw those shirts and jackets at the bottom of the lake.So now he can only go bare-chested, wearing only a pair of torn pants, and walks wetly by the lake.

Fortunately, after walking out of Hyde Park, he met a kind coachman.With the help of the coachman, he was able to return home safely.

Otherwise, just because of his naked upper body and wet body, he will definitely become the focus of the whole street if he walks casually on the street, and he can guarantee that he will be on the big stage the next day. newspaper.

And if someone recognized him as a theater star, I'm afraid the paper's sales would quadruple again.

Anyway, thank goodness Patrick was lucky enough to finally be home after a night of misfortune.

When Patrick returned to his long-term rental apartment with the strange eyes of the landlady, he quickly closed the door, lit the fireplace, and leaned against the slowly warming wall with some fear.

He had a premonition that he would be seriously ill in the next two days.But compared to being sick, he now has a more troublesome thing to deal with.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a second look at the strange bracelet on his right hand.

On the way home, Patrick tried several times to remove the bracelet and throw it away to avoid getting himself into trouble.But no matter how far he threw the bracelet, the bracelet would return to his hand after leaving his tenth breath.

[Is this thing some kind of curse? ] He guessed, but he couldn't make a judgment with certainty.After all, with his understanding of the extraordinary world, it might be difficult to figure out the true origin of this thing.

[Maybe I should ask Mrs. Stubbs for help. 】Thinking of this, Patrick couldn't bear to stand up.

He intended to change his clothes, and then to call on Mrs. Stubbs at once. Although it was not polite to call at night, he felt that his situation might be very dangerous, and he did not intend to wait any longer.

Standing up, he took out a set of clothes from the closet.Walking to the full-length mirror, he was about to take off his wet trousers, but when he looked up at the full-length mirror, he was suddenly startled and let out a horrific scream.

The reflection in the mirror clearly showed that a figure was standing behind him.

It was a beautiful woman in a tall red and white dress, with loose, long and smooth golden hair.
-
Outside Haylot Cemetery.

Sherlock lurked in the dark shadows cast by the bushes.

After several days of waiting, he finally caught the clues of the forces behind the scenes.As far as he could see at the moment, there were several men dressed as workers talking at the entrance of the cemetery.

Why would Sherlock doubt these people?The reason is very simple.

Although these people were dressed as workers, their skin, conversation, standing posture and figure did not look like workers at all.Especially the gentleman standing at the back, obviously wearing a rough and patched jacket, but judging by his expression and posture, it looks like he just came out of the House of Commons.

[A poor disguise is worse than no disguise. 】

Sherlock secretly commented with great interest that of course the opponent's mistake is his luck, although it will make him lack some sense of accomplishment.

But he has been squatting here for too long, so long that he has approached the limit of his endurance.Therefore, he didn't mind at all being able to catch the opponent's tail earlier.
