Chapter 933 Chapter 12: Do you miss me, my little cutie?
"I've been guarding the door." Yagyu talked about what happened just now.
"At seven o'clock, there were still some elderly people walking around in the village, but at eight o'clock, the whole village suddenly became silent, without even the slightest sound of movement."
"I was curious, so I knocked on the doors of several nearby houses, but no one answered. I opened the doors and saw no one inside. I stood outside the houses the entire time, and no one entered or left the village entrance."
Leia lowered her head and thought for a while before saying.
"Indeed, I scanned the entire village. Aside from Mr. Yagyu, there is no trace of any organic life in the village anymore."
"Not even a bug or a bird."
Sherlock added.
But his expression was clearly not one of doubt, but rather a hint of excitement.
"This is a truly unexpected development. There really is something wrong with these villagers."
"Eden 022." Rhea turned and looked at Sherlock and said.
"Don't get too caught up in the detective game. These villagers are very likely in danger right now."
Sherlock tried to suppress his smile and nodded.
"Of course... Ma'am, our goal is to protect humanity... Of course."
I don't know why.
In this dark environment, Sherlock's smiling expression reminded Rhea of an old friend...
Are you really that similar to her, Sherlock?
After searching the village again and confirming that all the elderly people were missing, Yagyu realized the seriousness of the matter.
"I think this matter needs to be reported. What do you think, both of you?"
"How to handle this kind of emergency is still up to your authorities," Leia said.
"So it's up to you to decide."
Yagyu nodded.
Then he took out the communicator.
But his expression quickly froze.
Because at this moment the communicator showed that there was no signal.
"That's impossible. Even in the deepest and most secluded mountains, this communicator will never lose signal."
"One condition has been met."
Sherlock suddenly said this, and both Rhea and Yagyu turned around to look at her.
Seeing her holding a cigarette, she looked towards the village entrance with a strange expression.
"Miss Sherlock, what did you say just now?" asked Yagyu.
"Oh, no, I mean, it might be due to special magnetic field interference, don't worry about it."
Sherlock smiled and passed it off.
But Rhea could clearly sense that there was something else behind Sherlock's words.
But before she could continue asking.
Suddenly a scream was heard from the forest outside the village.
Yagyu immediately identified the owner of the cry.
"It's that old police officer!"
"Let's go." After saying this, Leia rushed out with Yagyu.
Sherlock took a deep puff of the cigarette, then exhaled the smoke. Then she threw away the cigarette butt and stomped it out. With a strange smile on her face, she followed the two of them.
The terrain of Mount Tanye is complex because it has hardly been developed.
If you are not careful, you will get lost in the mountains and forests.
However, because Leia was there, she had quickly determined its approximate location based on the sound just now.
With Mo Qiao's help, he locked the point on the map.
So they didn't have to walk around for too long before they found the old policeman and his group.
I saw the old policeman slumped under a big tree.
His face was filled with shock.
It was as if he had seen something horrible that he would never forget in his life.
Yagyu immediately rushed over and checked his body.
There were no obvious injuries on his body.
This tragic situation now is probably caused by fear.
"Sir! Are you okay?!" Yagyu shook the police officer's body.
At this time, the old policeman's eyes gradually regained focus.
He immediately started crying when he saw the three people.
"Mountain God!! It's the Mountain God!! The Headless Mountain God!!"
"Calm down first." Sherlock walked over, squatted down, and then said.
"Tell me what the mountain god you saw looked like."
“I…I!”
"Is it headless?"
"Yes!! It just has no head!!"
"Where are the other two?"
"The other two...she, they, they..."
"She was taken away to be a bride, right?"
"You, what are you talking about... The brides, them! They were really kidnapped!"
"Tell me more details. What else did that headless thing say? Did it mention the bride of the mountain god?"
"I don't know! I don't know, ma'am!!"
"Eden 022."
This was the third time Rhea had directly mentioned Sherlock's model.
She placed her hands on Sherlock's shoulders.
"Send him down the mountain first, then we'll go find the other two."
Sherlock turned his head slightly to look at Rhea.
That look... was actually full of smiles.
And Leia knows this smile better than anyone else...
"Morrie..."
In the end, she still didn't say the name.
Yagyu had already carried the old police officer on his back.
"Let's go down the mountain first."
So they started to go down the mountain.
On the way, Rhea kept observing Sherlock's back.
Eden 022's body is completely different from that woman's.
But I don't know why.
At this moment, Leia kept looking for that person's figure among the back of the blonde girl.
What on earth is going on...
Has that influence infected me?
She began to examine herself.
I searched several times, but found nothing unusual.
Mo Qiao and Li Muhan also said that they did not find any problems.
Even Li Muhan told Leia.
I didn’t see Sherlock smile just now.
From this sentence, Leia understood one thing very clearly.
Sherlock's hallucinations come from her obsession with solving the case.
That illusion of my own...
From what.
Could it really be...Mo...
"Something went wrong."
Yagyu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
He frowned and looked at the mountain road ahead and said.
"We can't get out."
This is almost impossible.
Because Rhea and Sherlock are here.
Even if there are any wild goblins or monsters, they will never be able to make these two intelligent creatures get lost.
But the reality is that no matter how Rhea and Sherlock check the map information and relocate their location, they cannot leave the mountain.
But the strange thing is that it is normal if you go up the mountain.
Finally, they had no choice but to return to the village. After placing the old policeman in the hut, they stood outside the house with worried looks on their faces.
Only Sherlock gently pinched his delicate chin with his hand and spoke to himself.
"The second and third conditions are also met."
"What are you talking about?" Leia asked impatiently.
"Secret Chamber, Miss Leia, don't you think that this Danye Mountain we are in now is a huge secret chamber? We can't get in or out, and there are even cases of missing persons."
"Stop playing your detective games!" Leia got angry, which was rare.
"Who told you you can't get in?! Your reasoning is completely unfounded! Wake up! You're not some great detective, Sherlock Holmes! You're an omnic! You're Eden 022!"
Rhea grabbed Sherlock's collar hard.
But Sherlock just kept smiling.
"So, I'm not Sherlock, who do you think I am..."
There was a ghostly look in her eyes.
Then she leaned her head close to Leia's ear and said.
"...Long time no see, dear, did you miss me...?"
Rhea gasped, and then her hands tightly grasped Sherlock's neck.
"It's you... You can't possibly come back, how did you do it...?!"
"Ma'am! Please stop!"
Yagyu rushed over, and even for an alien like him, it took almost all his strength to make Leia let go.
"Cough cough..." Sherlock collapsed on the ground, covering his neck.
Then he looked at Leia.
"What’s wrong with you?"
".......I....."
"Leya, what happened? Why did you suddenly attack Sherlock?" Li Muhan asked.
"Her...her performance just now...didn't you guys see it..."
Rhea asked tremblingly.
[...We only saw you suddenly rush towards Sherlock, then mutter to yourself and then strangle her neck] Mo Qiao said.
Leia slowly sat down on the chair in front of the house. Her eyes were empty and her chest was still rising and falling slightly.
She couldn't help but start thinking...
The one who can't forget that person is Sherlock...
Or me?
