Chapter 677 The Hound of the Baskervilles

Lu Yuer also made a special call to congratulate Luoyang.

What Luoyang didn't know was that the animals Lu Yuer was most afraid of were snakes.

So when the latter stayed up late one night to help Luoyang translate "Spotted Belt", he always had a feeling of trepidation. He was so frightened that he put down his pen immediately at the slightest noise in the room. The hardships involved are really incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Of course, Lu Yu'er wouldn't say this on the phone.

After congratulating Luoyang, she said, "The fifth round is coming next. Are you ready for the story?"

Luoyang hummed: "The competition in the last round of the competition is quite fierce, so I plan to write a long story about the same length as "Four Signatures". I may have to work hard for you again. I'll treat you to a big dinner when you return home."

Lu Yu'er: "It's a deal, I'll wait for you to win the championship!"

Luoyang asked: "Don't you always say that I am narcissistic?"

Lu Yu'er burst out laughing, "It's the finals, let me give you some confidence first, our Theking teacher."

Luoyang didn't answer, just smiled.

After hanging up the phone with Lu Yu'er, he fell into a long thought.

At this point in the World Mystery Competition, it’s time for a bayonet fight. Luoyang doesn’t think that Gunn and Olivia will be easy to manipulate. The names of the three golden giants of World Mystery are not easy to get. Got it.

So this time I have to take it seriously.

So, which story in "The Sherlock Holmes" is suitable to be written in the finals?

Luoyang's fingers jumped over the keyboard unconsciously.

After a long time, a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes. His slender fingers finally landed on the keycaps, and a book title appeared in the document column of the computer screen:

The Hound of the Baskervilles!

This is one of Conan Doyle's most proud masterpieces!

This novel can even be called a masterpiece among Sherlock Holmes detective novels!

In his previous life, Luoyang once conducted a questionnaire survey, asking fans which novels in "Sherlock Holmes" were their favorite. Naturally, everyone's answers were inconsistent. After all, everyone's aesthetics are different, but after Luoyang's summary Discover……

The most popular work is "The Hound of the Baskervilles"!

The official statement also regards "The Hound of the Baskervilles" as one of the masterpieces of "Sherlock Holmes". This work has indeed an extremely wide audience and is worthy of the name of the four mysterious cases of "Sherlock Holmes".

Oh, the four mysterious cases mentioned here are exactly the four long stories in Sherlock Holmes.

They are "The Hound of the Baskervilles", "A Study in Scarlet", "The Sign of Four" and "Uncanny Valley". Among them, "A Study in Scarlet" and "The Sign of Four" have already been written by Luoyang in the previous competition, and the remaining The next ones are "The Hound of the Baskervilles" and "The Uncanny Valley."

It’s not like Luoyang hasn’t considered the “uncanny valley”.

After all, there are many people who like "Uncanny Valley".

Many people even think that "Uncanny Valley" is the masterpiece of "Sherlock Holmes".

In fact, "Uncanny Valley" is similar to "The Spotted Belt" written by Luoyang Si Lun. It has a very scary atmosphere. However, it is a pity that although the first half of "Uncanny Valley" is extremely exciting, the second half can only be used. To describe it, it starts at the beginning but ends at the end.

It’s what we commonly call a mess!

Bad endings are quite fatal to reasoning.

So Luoyang decided to abandon "Uncanny Valley" and write "The Hound of the Baskervilles" to participate in the finals.

At least the completeness of this story is stronger than that of "Uncanny Valley", the plot is diversified and developed, and the horror aspect is no less than that of "Uncanny Valley".

Some people even say that "The Hound of the Baskervilles" is basically a horror and suspense novel. When reading it, you will be scared to death and can't help but worry about Watson.

So later in the novel, when Holmes reveals his identity, readers will be almost as ecstatic as Watson, because as soon as this man appears, they feel that nothing can threaten the safety of good people, and then they only need to wait for Holmes to solve the case——

Similar to the feeling of Zhuge Liang in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

In fact, "The Hound of the Baskervilles" is extremely popular among viewers in "Sherlock Holmes".

In its previous life, it has not only been remade many times by major film and television companies, but has also been adapted into a game. Luoyang even went to play the game version of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" several times to feel the rather scary atmosphere in the story.

And now, Luoyang is creating this long-lost story.

[Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who, except that he often stays awake all night, always rises very late in the morning, sits at the breakfast table.

I stood on the rug in front of the hearth and picked up the cane that my visitor had forgotten the night before. This is a very delicate and heavy cane with a knot on the top. This kind of wood is produced in Penang Island and is called betel nut.

Immediately below the top is a wide silver hoop, about an inch wide.

Inscribed, To James Mortimer, C., M.S., Royal College of Surgeons. C. H. My friends, it is also engraved that in 1884, this is just a solemn, strong and practical walking stick commonly used by private doctors in the old style...]

Luoyang's hand speed was as fast as ever.

In fact, "The Hound of the Baskervilles" doesn't have much reasoning, but the plot is rather wild and unconstrained.

The plot begins with a terrifying legend about the Baskerville family. It is said that one of their ancestors was bitten to death by a huge vicious dog because of his bad behavior.

The reason for this case is that the old knight of the family was also inexplicably frightened to death, and this old knight also had a younger brother who was exiled abroad. After this younger brother died, he left a son named Stapleton.

In order to inherit the old knight's large inheritance, Stapleton used family legends to secretly raise a huge vicious dog.

He painted phosphorus on the noses of three vicious dogs. The phosphorus would glow in the night and look very scary. He used this method to scare the old knight to death.

After scaring the old knight to death, he planned to attack the new heir in the same way. When the new heir died, he could inherit the inheritance as the next heir in line.

Unfortunately Holmes won't let him succeed.

It is worth mentioning here that "The Hound of the Baskervilles" is the same animal flow as "The Spotted Band". In fact, there are not many animal flows in Sherlock Holmes, but there is no doubt that every animal flow is very scary and classic. .

So this case was eventually solved by Holmes.

However, completing this medium-length mystery story will not happen overnight, so Luoyang can only temporarily put down "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and concentrate on this world-famous mystery competition.
