Sadly, he didn't find it. Suddenly, a watch shop appeared in the ruins. Judging from the sign and the window, it should be a shop located somewhere in France. Next to the store window, Masha saw the house number. He quickly wrote down the house number. With this, you can find the specific store. Maybe we can figure out the identity of this "Sherlock Holmes" later, and then follow up with the investigation and maybe we can uncover the organization. "Holmes" also looked confused, but Masha judged that he should know this store, but was just wondering how this store suddenly appeared. Marsha watched Holmes push open the shop door with a puzzled look on his face. Masha walked straight through the store window. Anyway, he was not visible now, just a disembodied bystander. Inside the store, "Boule de Suif" was sitting behind the counter reading a book.
——What? Are “Sherlock Holmes” and “Boule de Suif” childhood sweethearts? "Anna?" "Holmes" spoke, but did not call out the code name. ——They are indeed childhood sweethearts! "Anna are you okay?" "Holmes" rushed to the counter and stared at the girl with concern: "Anna!" The girl continued to read the book, as if she didn't hear what "Sherlock Holmes" said. Masha was shocked. ——You were the first to start, don’t blame me! ——Yes, you started it first, I called it self-defense! You deserve it! Thinking of this, Masha's conscience no longer hurt. He continued to watch the dream unfold. "Anna!" "Holmes" grabbed the girl's shoulders tightly, "Look at me! Tell me, are you okay?" Anna finally looked up, and then her face cracked. Marsha didn't know whether Holmes was frightened or not, but he was definitely startled. Then the whole scene switched - from Holmes' perspective, it should be that "Anna's" face split open, turned into a bloody mouth and bit him, the screen went black, and then he was standing in a new scene. Holmes looked around, and Masha did the same. ——Wow, this looks like some evil sect like the Xingxiu Sect is holding a ceremony. Then, Masha saw a big flag appear in front of him. The flag seemed to be taken from the old TV series Romance of the Three Kingdoms and magnified many times. It is estimated that "Sherlock Holmes" has not watched many Chinese costume films, so he can only draw materials from Romance of the Three Kingdoms. On this enlarged flag, the word "Shadow" was written in huge letters.
But it was written wrong. The character "景" in "影" has been moved to the right. ——Alas, foreigners are used to using alphabetic characters, so it’s understandable that they are not used to Chinese. Under the big banner with the word "Shadow" on it - well, it should be called the big banner with the word "Anti-Shadow" on it, there stood a sturdy man with a red face and a long beard. I guess this is the leader of the Shadow imagined by Sherlock Holmes. Masha laughed, damn, how did I become Guan Erye! —Mr. Holmes, is this the only Chinese film you have seen, the old version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms? ——Even if you don’t know Jackie Chan, you should know Bruce Lee, right? ——What is an international superstar! ——Do you understand? Holmes had no doubt that this was a dream. He stared at the "Master Guan" and shouted, "What have you done to Anna? Give me back my Anna!" Guan Erye laughed loudly. To be honest, as a Chinese, Masha did not think that Guan Erye would laugh in such a devilish way, but he is a foreigner, right? Guan Erye started speaking, in an operatic voice, and then he started singing! Masha was even more surprised, because he lived with his grandfather when he was a child. His grandfather was a fan of Peking Opera and would sing a few songs whenever he was in a good mood. Masha could tell that the song sung by Guan Erye was "I am Watching the Mountain Scenery from the City Tower", which was the aria of Zhuge Liang in "The Empty City Scheme". ——This is indeed a dream. Seeking logic in a dream must be a sign of boredom. ——This person’s understanding of China must be very limited, and the only understanding he had was mixed into his dream. At this time, Masha had a new idea. He skillfully took over control of the dream. The next moment, the whole scene was different. Masha moved here the snack street near his high school in his memory - yes, the place where he conquered Cai Shi with a bucket of ice cream and stimulated her superpowers, and the place where the whole story began. However, Masha made some modifications to the alley. For example, if you look up, you can see a huge inverted pyramid! Looking far along the alley, you can see a huge wall leading to the sky and a train running on the wall. All the tall buildings within sight have also been changed - referring to "Neon Genesis Evangelion", each building has been changed into a very modern style, and it feels like it will suddenly become a huge armed fortress. The building is also numbered. Anyway, it's a special EVA, and it feels like a giant robot may jump out at any time to fight with mysterious life forms. Now, from the perspective of "Sherlock Holmes", the exotic streets full of daily flavor in the near distance should form a sharp contrast with the surreal scenery in the distance. The contrast made him stand there in a daze. Masha appeared in the form of Anna, sitting on a roadside stall with a bowl of qingbuliang in front of her - this is the authentic Yuezhou sweet soup, and Yuezhou people like to drink a bowl of it when they go out for a walk in the evening.
Masha thought that he was also a person who absorbed part of Anna's soul, so pretending to be Anna at this time might have a miraculous effect. He - she waited for the shocked "Holmes" to come to his senses and discover himself. She picked up the spoon and drank a sip of the clear soup - well, this action and this manner undoubtedly belonged to a girl like Anna. ——I really did eat a part of the girl’s soul. "Anna!" The voice of "Sherlock Holmes" came into Masha's ears. --coming. Masha raised his eyes and smiled at "Holmes". Masha had never seen how Anna laughed, but it didn't matter. He owned a part of Anna's soul, so this kind of thing was no big deal. "Anna!" "Holmes" rushed over and pressed the table with both hands. If the table was pressed so hard in reality, it would have flipped over long ago. "Thank you for your hard work." Masha said. After all, he didn't know the guy's real name, so he could only choose not to address him. Anyway, now it was only the two of them who were talking. "Because I became that way, you were angry and stayed to confront Ying head-on. It's a pity that you were able to convince 'Moriarty'." In fact, if "Anna" and "Moriarty" were also childhood sweethearts, then the truth would be revealed. But it doesn't look like that's the case. "It's okay," Holmes seemed relieved because Anna talked to him normally, "If I show even the slightest intention of avenging you, Moriarty will stop me. But it seems that my acting skills are not bad." "No, actually he is considering your feelings and pretending not to realize this at all." Masha expressed his guess. "Maybe." Holmes looked up. "Where is this place? How did we get here?" "This is Ying's headquarters, an urban paradise in another dimension." Masha-Anna said calmly. Holmes froze suddenly. He looked Masha up and down and exclaimed, "You are not Anna. Who are you?" "I am Anna. This smile, this action, and this voice, aren't they all your familiar childhood sweetheart Anna?" "you're lying!" "It doesn't matter if you think so," Marsha-Anna looked at Holmes. "You should know that a spy in Britain has betrayed us, right?" The change in Holmes' expression confirmed that he did know about Shelley, so he continued, "My situation is the same as that girl's. Our memories and souls have been specially processed. Specifically, a part of our souls has been extracted and placed in the organization's soul storage." Masha said, switching the surrounding scenes. The new scene is a huge warehouse filled with shelves several people high, with artificial brains neatly arranged on the shelves. Robots moved back and forth between the racks, checking the status of each brain. "All the brains here are artificial, used to store separated souls." Masha began to talk nonsense, "The extracted souls are not actually cut off from the original body, so the organization can share the information and intelligence obtained by the original body through the souls here. When needed, the organization will reintegrate our souls and we will be awakened. “If the organization doesn’t wake us up, even the most advanced psychologists won’t be able to see what’s wrong with us.” Holmes was speechless.
——Nonsense, any normal person would be stunned upon seeing such a development! Masha continued, "This system cannot obtain all the information. About 50% of the information cannot be shared. In addition, a large amount of daily information will seriously interfere with our acquisition of truly valuable intelligence. Generally speaking, this system is not as good as a real undercover agent or spy." Although Masha is talking nonsense, he also attaches great importance to "rationality"! "And as you know, you made my original body launch an attack against the organization. The organization just happened to be unaware of this attack. Then, the organization's psychic ability users counterattacked, causing me to have some problems." "Holmes" asked seriously: "What's the problem?" "In short, the connection between the two parts of my soul has been completely severed." Masha-Anna spread her hands, "The other me, did you cry a lot?" Holmes nodded. "So, I came to you through the dream-reading person in the organization." Masha smiled at "Sherlock Holmes", "Let's make a deal." ---- Recommend a friend's new book "I Picked Up a Piece of Property" This is a new book with an interesting idea. The author is a veteran and uses a pseudonym. His writing is very good. Chapter 643: Secret Organization vs. Secret Organization (5) Holmes looked at Marsha-Anna seriously. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "What deal?" "The organization has a way to unite the torn us into one." Masha stretched out two index fingers, moving them from far to near and finally together. "The other me is now in a squeeze reaction, a psychological trauma syndrome caused by the soul being torn apart." Holmes stared at Masha, waiting for him to continue. Masha: "We have a way to cure this disease, and that is to combine the two souls again. But doing so will have a side effect, which is that Anna - I will be completely awakened and become an undercover agent of the shadow." Holmes' face turned green. "What do you mean?" "I think I've made myself clear enough. Besides, originally this Miss Anna - I am the undercover agent, but the organization has to spend more energy to obtain intelligence from me, and the intelligence is often incomplete. "After our torn souls are combined, I will inevitably become a real undercover agent. And you, Mr. Holmes, if you choose not to trade with us, you will get Anna, who is deeply tortured by the fear and pain caused by the torn soul, but not an undercover agent; "If you choose to let Anna be the original Anna, Anna - I will definitely go undercover." Masha felt that she was so kind and that this option was a great one. "Sherlock Holmes" must be so moved that he wants to cry now. Of course, the only problem is that Masha has no way to return the part of the soul he has swallowed to the girl, nor can he make the girl become his undercover agent. However, this kind of thing will work out when the time comes, so he might as well fool this "Sherlock Holmes" first. I'll find a way to make up for the lie about Anna later. "Holmes" stared at Ma Anna and finally spoke: "I always feel that this is a trap." "I see. You chose to sit back and watch the other me suffer from fear. I understand your choice. It seems that we have nothing to talk about, Mr. Holmes." "Wait a minute!" Holmes shouted, "I haven't made a decision about you yet, don't make a decision for me without permission!"
"But this is indeed a trap." Ma Anna looked at "Sherlock Holmes", "As long as you choose to help us, not only will Anna become an undercover agent, you must also become our undercover agent. In fact, before I merge with the other me, the organization will definitely ask you to do something to prove your loyalty." "Holmes" swallowed his saliva and was about to speak, but Masha interrupted him, "Don't even think about deceiving the organization. One of the organization's creeds is that if loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal. Do you understand?" "Half-hearted loyalty will be discovered by the organization in no time, and your fate will be very, very miserable. And I will also be dragged down by you!" Holmes looked pale. It seemed like he was very bad at hiding his thoughts. Of course, it may also be that he does not know how to control facial expressions in dreams.
