infinite death

() "It's not too early, but if we hurry up, we can still catch the last train." Although Holmes came in a rented carriage, if the five people in the team were added, seven people would squeeze together. A carriage is still a bit crowded.

"Is it a bus?" Ma Shuangcheng asked curiously.

"It seems that this is really the first time for you guys to come to London." Holmes smiled slightly. "It's the subway. It's rare to come to England once. How can I get by without taking the subway?"

Holmes looked at everyone's expressions again, and he continued: "I know you may have many questions, but let's go back to my apartment and continue talking. After all, this is not a place to talk."

After hearing this, several people knew that it would be very abrupt to discuss vampires or other things in such a large audience, so they all nodded and were willing to leave here with Holmes first.

Then Holmes and Watson led a few people to the Whitechapel station not far away. After Watson took out dozens of shillings to buy the subway tickets for the first-class carriage of the seventh chapter, the few people boarded the train from Whitechapel Station. Tube to Baker Street Station.

Because it was already late, there was no one else in the spacious first-class compartment except for a few of them.

"I really didn't expect that London in the [-]th century would already have a subway..." Ma Shuangcheng said with emotion. The glowing gas lamps illuminated the entire carriage brightly, although the color was slightly yellowed due to the temperature.

"The London Underground has been in existence for 30 years. If we were talking about the greatest masterpiece of the entire nineteenth century, I would definitely vote for what we are riding on." Holmes said, "We are now in the greatest masterpiece." In the [-]th century, human footsteps have traveled to every part of the planet, and the use of steam engines and internal combustion engines has conquered all natural barriers in the world. The popularity of electricity has made the streets brightly lit forever, and the dark age has passed. Mr. Bell, a Scot The invention of the telephone has also made communication between people no longer delayed, and the macro world has become smaller and smaller. And in places we can't see, in the past two years, Mr. Roentgen discovered the xshe line, Baker Mr. Leer confirmed the shexing of uranium, the respected Curie couple also discovered thorium, polonium, and radium, and Mr. Thomson even found the existence of electrons from the yin-polar sheath.

From the macrocosm of the universe to the interior of the atom, it seems that the answer has been found in this era. Facing such a great century, I am even a little worried whether human beings will be able to do this in the twentieth century in the near future. Great achievement. "

"Mr. Holmes, can't a smart person like you imagine what the future will look like?" Ma Shuangcheng asked curiously. In the eyes of ordinary people, Holmes may be one of the smartest people in this era.

"I'm just a mortal. Although I may be good at observation and reasoning, it doesn't mean I have any superhuman qualities." Holmes leaned on the cushion of the subway seat, holding the seat with his hands A cane, "However, from the macroscopic universe to the surrounding atoms, these foods have found the truth. However, in this world we live in, there are many... many things that seem to be unexplainable by reason. "

"That's right..." Zhu Jue frowned and said, "I think it's very inexplicable that why I have to suffer this kind of suffering after taking the subway, I feel like I'm chewing a match in my mouth now After all, this subway is driven by a steam engine. Although a lot of vents have been opened, the smoke with a strong sulfur smell produced by the burning of fuel still seeps in from the bottom of the car.

"Can't you use the electric motor..." Linn also frowned slightly.

"...Excellent idea. I can't tell you are all guests from the Far East." Holmes nodded towards Linn, "If a motor with enough power can be made, then it will indeed be very quiet and low-pollution Power source. An Indian captain I know seems to want to put a motor on one of his boats too, it's almost done by now, I hope he'll entertain you guys to do it on his one of a kind boat if he gets the chance Be a guest."

Although he was careful not to talk about supernatural topics on the subway, Holmes still chatted with everyone for a while. Although his ideas still contained many inherent ideas of people in the nineteenth century, his sensitive thinking and Ma Shuangcheng and Linn had to rush to admire the unique insights.Chu Yuan remained silent in front of this great detective, and he didn't know if he was keeping a low profile, or because he was worried that he would show his feet instead of showing off in front of this legendary figure.Although Li Wushang held a sense of hostility towards capitalism towards Holmes at the beginning.But I didn’t expect Holmes to be familiar with the works of Marx, Engels and others. Although he did not explicitly express his support for Marxism and Engels, he was still concerned about the redistribution of means of production, the struggle of interests between classes, and social welfare for the proletarians. In terms of the system, he also put forward a lot of his own opinions and opinions, and when Li Wushang proposed some theories of the Taizu, Holmes also praised certain aspects in a meaningful way, which made Li Wushang look at Holmes. Si's eyes suddenly became quite admiring, although he may still regard the great detective as a class enemy in his heart.

As for Zhu Jue, he didn't pay attention to Holmes, but kept staring at Watson closely.

"Uh... Is there something wrong with me?" Hua Sheng asked Zhu Jue's inexplicable eyes because he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Doctor Watson...can you treat mental illness?" Zhu Jue finally said.

"I'm just a surgeon... I don't know much about mental illness." Watson replied puzzled.

Zhu Jue sighed in disappointment, and then asked, "So are you gay?"

"Ahem...Sorry, what did you just say?" Watson almost lost his breath.

"I'm just curious about your relationship with Mr. Holmes." Zhu Jue said.

Watson couldn't help frowning, as if he thought Zhu Jue's question was impolite, but he still replied, "I was married once!"

"Don't mind so much, I'm just asking." Zhu Jue said, "So, who do you like to be with more than your wife and Mr. Holmes?"

"Zhu Jue!" Linn kicked Zhu Jue's leg resentfully, and then she quickly said to Watson, "I'm sorry, Dr. Watson

, There is something wrong with him. "

"Hmph..." Watson just snorted, and then turned his head. It seemed that he didn't like the friends Holmes invited very much.

Finally, after more than half an hour of staggering, the subway stopped at Baker Street Station in the west of London, and several people left the station under the leadership of Holmes.

Because there are many real estate companies and other industries on Baker Street, even at this time it is still full of traffic, carriages and pedestrians are hurrying to and fro on this street.And at No. 211b Baker Street, there is a small apartment building.

The exit of the apartment building is a small black door, with four or five floors of stairs under the door, and there are already two rows of iron handrails. Under the dim light by the roadside, you can see the rust spots on the handles.Except for the faint firelight from the fireplace in the windows on the second floor, the whole house was dark, as if it was waiting for the owner to return.

"Welcome to No. 211b Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes Private Detective Consulting Firm...and Diogenes Club Mystery Consultant Secondary School."

(Actually, there was a subway in London that used electric motors in 221. In addition, Baker Street Station is not far from No. [-]b where Holmes lives, but for some reason, Conan Doyle did not describe the subway in the story The presence.)
