infinite death

() After a few people walked into the apartment, the first thing they saw was a short and narrow corridor. It may be because of the age, the wooden floor will creak when they step on it, and it really makes people feel creepy at night. Feel.

"Be careful." Holmes said softly to the others. "Don't disturb the landlady, Mrs. Hudson. She's on the third floor. If she finds out that I entertained so many guests at one time, I don't know if she will be angry again." gone."

Several people also nodded, expressing that they would pay attention, and then walked up the stairs at the back side with Holmes, and went directly to the second floor.

After pushing open the door of a certain room on the second floor, Holmes lit a gas lamp, and everyone entered the legendary study together.

The whole study room is small in size, and the surrounding wall coverings are dark red, giving people a gloomy and melancholy feeling. There are two chairs in front of the fireplace next to it. On the chairs are Holmes' deer hat and His cherished cherrywood pipe.

There was also a Persian slipper on the shelf of the fireplace, which was stuffed with shredded tobacco, and many letters were stacked aside, pierced together by a jackknife, and a violin was placed in the corner. Judging from it, this violin should have disturbed many people's dreams at night.

A small desk is full of various flasks and medicines. There are still a lot of blackboards on the desk that may be corroded by strong acid or other dangerous reagents. A lot of open notebooks are just like this. On the desk, you can still see the scribbled handwriting of the owner of the note.

"Please feel free, but there are no other seats in this room." Holmes sat on the armchair by the fireplace, picked up the cherry wood pipe, and squeezed a handful of tobacco from the Persian slippers beside him Filled it into the pipe, then struck a match and lit the tobacco, leaned on the chair and took a deep breath, and then exhaled a trace of white smoke.

"Sherlock!" Seeing Holmes smoking, Watson frowned. "Smoking at such a late hour is not good for your health."

"Don't worry, my dear Dr. Watson," said Holmes with a smile. "Now that I have followed your advice to quit cocaine, allow me to keep a little hobby."

Then Holmes asked the other people in the team: "First of all, please let me ask a little question, have you heard of 'ghost'?"

"Ghost?" Everyone was puzzled, and Ma Shuangcheng replied, "Are you talking about ghosts, Mr. Holmes?"

"Very good, this at least let me see that they are not lying. It seems that we can continue to talk about the topic of 'vampires'." Holmes observed the expressions of several people and confirmed that they and his so-called "ghost" After it didn't matter, he began to say, "Then if my guess is correct, what you guys are looking for now is the Romanian impaler."

"How did you know that we were looking for Dracula?" Ma Shuangcheng was a little puzzled.

"Now the entire underground world in London knows that the legendary big vampire has stepped onto the land of England." Holmes said while smoking a cigarette and looking at the fire in the fireplace beside him. After the frightening and powerful castle in the legend, all the mysterious forces in Europe, whether they are demon hunters, churches or dark wizards, all set their sights on him. The operation of the City of Demons was the best opportunity. When the legendary big vampire came to London alone, they couldn't help but want to take this opportunity to get rid of the 400-year-old nightmare that had enveloped the entire European land. .”

Then Holmes looked at the few people in the team: "From your body, it is easy to see that you have some aura and characteristics other than mortals, and the extraordinary people who came to England at this time, except for the piercer Is there any other purpose for coming here?”

"...Yes, we are indeed here for Dracula." Ma Shuangcheng nodded, which is indeed the reason for Holmes' outstanding observation skills, "But I still want to ask that Jack the Ripper and Dracula Does it matter?"

"I believe that there is not much relationship between the two. Although both are the work of vampires, there is a big difference between vampires and vampires." Holmes took another puff of the pipe in his hand, and then said, "This is The 'ghost' I mentioned earlier."

"'Ghost'... is the code name of an organization or individual." Chu Yuan said suddenly at this time, as if to show that he still had some analytical ability.

"That's right... In fact, compared to Dracula, those who followed Dracula are more troublesome to London." Holmes exhaled a long puff of smoke, and then pointed the pipe in his hand towards the city. There was a light knock on the fireplace, shaking out the soot inside, "For so many years, I have been chasing the greatest enemy in my life... the head of the 'Ghost', Professor Moriarty. He is a genius , a person with real talent, but it is a pity that his nature yearns for chaos and disaster, and his talent makes his dangerous nature even more terrifying. In my investigation of him, I can know that Dracula The power and danger of God clearly attracted him. The vampire is a creature...strictly speaking, the greatest curse for the sins committed by the Antichrist. Vampires have no other than God's punishment and virgins who have suffered innocent disasters. The means of reproduction. And Professor Moriarty...every clue I have points to the horrible fact that he is creating vampires...a monster that is not a punishment from God, but a man-made monster. In London, almost half The above crimes can all involve this professor, and the crime of Jack the Ripper convinced me of this. The "ghost" is also looking for Dracula, I believe Moriarty will never be satisfied Given the current situation, he will definitely want to create a truly perfect and powerful vampire, not a so-called undead, but a terrifying demon against Christ. In order to do this, he must control Dracula within himself hands, so as to analyze what kind of existence a truly perfect vampire should be."

"Can vampires be manufactured artificially?" Everyone was also surprised for a while, they hadn't thought of this at all.

"Count Dracula is not the only vampire in this world." Holmes said, "This kind of powerful undead creature that feeds on human blood has existed since the time of human history. It is afraid of light and will be killed by silver." The cross will make them lose their ability to move. There are also countless demon hunters hunting these undead. As long as these demon hunters have enough props and training, they are enough to fight against those vampires, such as the American Abraham. ·Mr. Lincoln, of course, I can also be considered one. But Count Dracula is different. Rather than saying that he is an undead soul, it is better to say that he is the enemy of God, the lord of hell, and a real big devil in this world. Vampires like the former can indeed be created by humans through various means, but the latter... I really doubt that humans can have such power. But no one can imagine the madness of Professor Moriarty..."

"Crazy..." Ma Shuangcheng and Linn couldn't help turning their gazes to Zhu Jue who was on the side.

"...why do you want to look at me?" Zhu Jue, who was fiddling with the potions on Holmes' desk when Holmes was speaking, couldn't help complaining. He tasted the smell of the potion, then frowned, "Tsk, it doesn't smell at all, what is this..."

"Your attention is good." Holmes nodded towards Zhu Jue, "This is a silver nitrate solution, and it is quite effective against ordinary vampires or ghouls."

"Be careful to drink you to death!" Linn couldn't help complaining.

"Then I won't be polite." Zhu Jue put away the bottle of silver nitrate solution directly, and then he said to Holmes, "Mr. Holmes, after talking so much, you seem to have missed the most important thing."

"It seems that I am indeed a bit wordy." Holmes chuckled, and then said, "Then about the connection between the two..."

"It's not this." Zhu Jue interrupted Holmes, pointing to the potions that he had turned into a mess, "I said you are really a poisonous old... you invited people to your house, and you didn't take them Give out your treasured cocaine to give everyone a high, can we still be friends? Can we still have fun together?"
