what do you think sherlock

Chapter 121
The White Pagoda, inside the top of the East Pagoda.

Standing behind the stone window, Lamb looked down at the White Tower, which was revitalized in the middle of the night because of a mobilization order, and turned around to take down bottles of red wine from the wine rack.

"Boom," he took out the cork with a crisp but tenacious sound.

"I didn't expect that you would come to visit me at such a late hour." With the swing of his arm, the dark red wine flowed out from the mouth of the bottle and poured into two glasses of different sizes on the table.

"There is neither good wine nor good wine utensils. Your hospitality is still as simple as ever." Mycroft said something disgusting, but he naturally picked up the wine glass on the table and sat down on the sofa chair.

"Of course we can't match the conditions of the Secrecy Bureau." Lamb said in a calm tone, his voice always had a sense of sarcasm, even though he didn't seem to mean it.

"I take it as a compliment." It's not the first time McCoff has dealt with Lamb. Their previous encounters can be traced back more than ten years, so he is very familiar with Lamb's style.

"Let's talk about it, a busy person like you came to me, certainly not to watch the fun." Lamb obviously didn't intend to continue going around in circles with Mycroft.

"Why did you come here? Don't you see clearly?" Mycroft said in the direction of the window.

"It's just a normal operation." Lamb said indifferently.

"Normal action." Mycroft emphasized the word "normal":

"Well, let's be honest. I just received a notification from Watson. He told me that the reason why this group of people set off late at night is to investigate that group of very mysterious criminals."

"To be honest, I can't figure out what kind of criminal deserves to be taken so seriously by the executive officer of the British Empire's Security Council." Lamb gently shook the glass, his bloated body squeezed on the small recliner, making him look even more serious. Sloppy and fat.

"I think you understand what kind of criminals are worthy of my serious treatment?" Mycroft smiled and didn't say anything more. He just looked at Lamb sitting opposite him quietly.

Lamb was able to maintain a casual and relaxed face at first, but with the prolonged gaze of Mycroft, the smile on his face gradually began to subside.

In the end, his face became more and more serious, and it could be seen that he had actually realized who Mycroft was talking about:
"You mean them?"

"That's right, it's them." Mycroft nodded solemnly.

The "they" in the two populations doesn't even have a specific word to call them.Because for this criminal force lurking in the dark, let alone specific members, they don't even know each other's real name, so they can only be referred to as "they".

"Are you sure? Although the Mr. Watson you found is a very capable person, I don't think he can catch the tail of those people so easily. After all, these guys are hiding inside the empire It's been a long time. I have a hunch that he may stumble on this matter." Lamb is not optimistic about Di Renjie's behavior, which is not to say that he is prejudiced because he was excluded by the other party.

Although it is a fact that it is overhead, he actually doesn't have much opinion.

Because of a case that year, he has always been very negative in his official career.Even his overall attitude towards life has been in a very depressed and depressed mood for a long time.

In such a situation, he actually has no ambitions for the distribution of rights.Of course, he also has his own rules and regulations.But at least so far, he has not had any conflicts with the chief secretary-general who is actually in charge of the entire department on this point.

"To be honest, I don't have any confidence. But I believe in the abilities of those two. Although I don't think they can solve this difficult problem in a short time, I am willing to work hard with them. We need fresh Blood, Lamb." Mycroft said seriously.

"Us? Where did we come from? It is absurd to seek like-minded people in the British government. Everyone here has their own calculations." Lamb smiled with some disdain. He recalled some things that made him feel Not a very happy past.

"The pursuit of complete unanimity is mediocrity. We only need to ensure that we have a consistent position on this matter. As for the rest, who really cares?" Mycroft drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Advisor Sherlock?" Because Sherlock hadn't been to the White Tower a few times, the only intersection between River and him was when they passed each other in the last operation in the clinic, so he was calling out Sherlock's name. At that time, he hesitated a little.

"It's me," Sherlock waved to the group of people who came.

"This is Harper, a second-level swordsman; this is Sakaya, an excellent plainclothes knight; the last one is Luisa, who is also a second-level transcendent, but The direction she chose is the sharpshooter." After confirming the identity is correct, River began to introduce companions to Sherlock, and it is necessary to strengthen mutual understanding before taking action.

"Sherlock, a detective is also a special advisor to the department." Sherlock reached out and shook hands with several second-level transcendents who led the team. In addition, when he introduced himself, he concealed his first-level The identity of the extraordinary.

After a brief introduction by the two groups of people, they began to move towards the Hailuote Cemetery.

"Where did you find the abnormality?" River asked Sherlock in a low voice. Although he hadn't entered the cemetery yet, he had already started to keep on guard.

"The location is a little hard to describe, I'll take you there directly." Sherlock said walking in front of the team.

"Will it be dangerous? Do you also want to participate in the assault mission?" River asked strangely.

"Of course I have some self-preservation power." Sherlock spread his hands, signaling them to rest assured, but then he said: "Mr. River, what did you just say? Assault mission? Are you planning to break into the tomb directly?"

"The order we received is that you have found the secret stronghold of criminal forces, and then we need to investigate the stronghold." Ruifu explained.

"I thought it would be continuous monitoring, or a method of detection such as sneaking in secretly." Sherlock did not expect that he would be steady for a rare time, but in the end he attracted several support staff who seemed to be more impulsive than himself.

"Based on the armed forces we have gathered now, there is generally no force that can stop us. If you want to obtain more valuable information, I personally suggest that it is more appropriate to rush directly." What River said actually makes sense.In special operations in the conventional sense, it is difficult for such a tactical mobile team that gathers four second-level extraordinary people and ten first-level extraordinary people to meet a real opponent, even if the opponent is a first-level extraordinary person. Third-order transcendents also have the ability to resist for a short time and leave the battlefield.

This is the conclusion that River drew based on his many real experiences, so he thinks it is more reliable.

But what Rui Fu didn't know was that the difference in strength among the third-order transcendents was bigger than he imagined.
