Has Mr. Shenshang submitted the manuscript today?

……

"Charles, there's not a single drop of water in here." Shelley touched the inner wall of the well through the glove. The cracks in the bricks were a bit damp, and the musty smell was heavy. Moss filled the gaps in the bricks, looking like pieces of decayed Dried apples.

"A single drop of water has been corroded to such an extent?" Charles sniffed his nose, a smell mixed with some kind of rotten fish and rotten shrimp rushed into his nostrils, and the salty and sweet stench adhered to his throat, causing him to gush out Nauseous sour juice.

"Damn place." He took out a handkerchief and twisted his nose, "I'm a bit regretful, this kind of damned place hides something that makes me spit out my overnight meal."

Shelley laughed softly, took out a handkerchief, and fanned the little prince who had lived in the fragrance since birth, "My Charles, your cuteness is the only light here."

"Shelley..." Charles looked at his friend's face with helpless and gentle eyes, and hid a whole spring of fine wine.He straightened his tie and strode forward, "Let's go, the truth is ahead."

"As you wish."

……

At the bottom of the well was a locked oval valve that sounded like some kind of metal when tapped, with rust gnawed up from the edges and hanged on the central handle.

"Is the number of turns used as a way of identification?"

"No, in this case, if you reach a certain amount, don't you open it directly?" Shelley shook her head, raised her hand to hold down the friend who was about to move, "Honey, step aside, let me try."

He took a step forward, took off his monocle, and looked at the valve carefully. A light scratch on it caught his attention, "Charles, I have an idea. Maybe this door doesn't open by turning the handle at all." .”

He slowly stroked the dimpled marks, felt the roughness inside, and speculated in his mind to measure the number of friction damage, "This door should be caused by moving the handle directly." He pushed the handle hard, and there was a "click", quickly and quickly snaps it precisely into the deepest recesses.

"Squeak—" The valve opened.Shelley stopped in front of the door against the light, and the light and shadows hid his facial features, and the blackness behind the door slowly crept up to his ankles.

"Look. I'll just say..." He chuckled, "Come on Charles, you can move on."

However, there was no sound of footsteps behind him, not even a response, as if there was no one there.

"Charles? Are you listening to me..."

Charles behind him slapped his palm on his left shoulder, his knuckles turned white.

"Okay, let's call it a day, Shelley," he clenched his jaw and his voice was hoarse, "now, go back to your garden immediately, and enjoy a book of black tea and the last sunshine in the afternoon. Don't follow me any more. Get down, please."

"Please, Shelley." The black lion of the royal family lowered his head above everyone, and the words he spit out were a dramatic sinking sadness and coldness.

As if he had figured it out suddenly, his obsidian-like eyes coincided with the shadow behind the door, and it was astonishingly hazy.Knowing what kind of giant beast might be hiding in the shadows, he felt a layer of gloom covering his eyes, and felt bitter in his heart, "I'm not worth it, I'm a drag on you. Go back, Shelley."

Shelley frowned, not understanding what the friend on the other side was thinking. He took off his gloves and pointed at the center of Charles's brow with his fingertips, "I'm already standing here, why are you still hesitating?"

"You don't understand, Shelley, what are we going to face?" Charles murmured, "I'm terrified that we will be powerless and be pushed into an enemy of the royal family one day."

"Leaving me alone in this kind of place is enough. You should be born to shine brightly under the praise of the sun, instead of sinking into the mud with me, being bitten to pieces by ferocious beasts, and your corpse rotting in the mud." His The eyes are gentle and focused, as if time has passed, "My dear Shelley, I can't bear it."

I can't bear to think that if the guess comes true, your bones will be swallowed together with me in decay, and all the embers will be burned.

"Charles, listen to me." Shelley frowned, and took Charles's hand back.

"I repeat, I'm already standing here." His blue eyes were like galaxies embracing the sky, enveloping Charles with tenderness.

"My Charles, can't you figure it out? I will."

"Although this is very good-looking, but I always feel that Xiaoshen has changed the plot." Ranbu closed the notebook contentedly, and huddled next to Shenshang Shuo, "Sure enough, a happier ending is more in line with my taste. "

"I can't hide it from Mr. Ranbu." Shen Shangshuo smiled and filled the cup with fruit tea, and brought it to Luanbu's mouth. "I originally wanted to write about a ruined reformer with no bones left, and a country that is heading for the end. story."

"As a result, I regretted halfway through writing, so I changed it a little bit."

"Then why change it?" Luanbu squinted his eyes, turned his face slightly, and took a sip of the white peach oolong with his godly hand. The tea fragrance mixed with the fragrance of peaches was in love between his lips and teeth, and the sweetness was just right.A small piece of peach sorbet melted on the tip of the tongue little by little, and the ice-cold taste added to the taste, causing Luanbu to rub it unconsciously, "This is delicious!"

"As long as you like it." Shen Shangshuo skillfully removed the teacup and wiped the corners of Chaobu's mouth, "I'm ashamed to say that I didn't intend to modify the plot, but I don't know why, but when I wrote about Shelley, I suddenly regretted it." .”

"Oh? How do you say it?" Ranbu listened with interest,

"Perhaps it would be more accurate to use the word distressed." The young man was wearing a white sweater, the fine fluff swaying slightly, and the spring branches in his eyes were next to the autumn water, and he looked back, "I was just thinking, such a bright and determined person, You should live like a star, wanton and shining, shining in the universe, and you shouldn't be dragged down, cast aside by thousands of people once you die, and turned into dung fertilizer."

"I can not let it go."

"Well, Kogami is such a good boy." Edogawa Ranpo heaved a sigh of relief, and leaned on Kagami Saku, "Hurry up and finish writing it, Ranpo-sama can't wait."

"Ah."

May all the stars never fall and be treated with tenderness by the world, whether in my kingdom or by my side.

my star.

Walking through a narrow corridor, the bricks and stones are dripping with water, and the innermost part is a closed room full of files and precious utensils.

"What is this?" Charles picked up a scroll with several big gilt characters printed on it. Due to the age, the gold leaf on it had faded and even showed signs of peeling off. "Mondo? Source? What are they doing?" He asked Frowning, he turned the first page, coughing from the dust.

"Ahem, cough, what the hell is this? No one will clean it up?"

But soon, he was speechless, and Shelley leaned over to look, and saw the title with big characters flailing at it—"Specchio"

"I am Cooper. Just today, my partner and I discovered the sister spring of the source. It is hidden on the side of the source. There is only a shallow puddle. It is two-color, and there are only a few strands on the other side A golden spring gushes. I like to call it "Specchio," the reflection of the mondo."

"We're trying to do research on Specchio, hopefully it can help with life on Adams Continent."

"We have used all the potions, all the means, all the tools at our disposal, but the water of Specchio seems to exist beyond the laws of physics. Even in the holy water of the source, it remains as A stubborn rock!"

"We have made a great discovery! Just mix a little of Specchio's liquid with a few drops of water from the source, and a child will be born with a golden birthmark!"

"We now have a very bad conjecture, a conjecture that would make me guilty, even though I knew nothing about it before."

"It's basically certain... I'm a sinner."

"Before I make atonement, I want to explain the reasons for all this, so that other unfortunate people will not make the same mistakes. Mondo, our mother, our world, is actually only our flesh and blood, our bones. Our souls , is actually a gift from Specchio. The transparent and colorless spring water, every drop, hides a whole soul, and this drop of water revolves in our hearts until we die. God, I can hardly write. Ignorance It's a sin, ignorance is a sin! How many unborn children have been tortured to death at my hands, but I don't know it! Stupid executioner!"

"I tried to analyze the golden part of the different color spring, which is the opposite of the transparent part."

"I have conducted a lot of research, and they all told me that these golden springs can at best imprint on the body. It is eternal gold, it is there and cannot be changed."

"Today, I received a summons from Emperor David, and I almost fainted from happiness. A third-rate scholar like me will be able to face the Holy Spirit one day! This is a great fortune!"

"Your Majesty inquired about my research, and I almost knelt down tremblingly. The fact that I was a sinner was about to be exposed, but I never concealed a single word. I just pleaded that the Emperor would give me a chance to apologize. .”

"That opportunity has come! The supreme David the Great tolerated my sins! He let me continue my research and benefit the people of Adams Continent! His magnificence made me cry."

"With the help of David the Great, I figured out how the golden Specchio marks the body, and I even feel like I am a craftsman."

"Why did the Emperor let me continue to study the transparent Specchio? I don't want to do that."

"I can not do anything."

"I have detected the quality and state of a person's soul... I don't have the energy to write it down."

"No-no! Please, I don't want to do this, please! Get those Specchio drops off the dead bodies of your enemies! This is outrageous! I can't do this, please Already!"

"My dear Vivienne, I have betrayed my beliefs, and I have become a real executioner who raises the butcher's knife independently. I have no other way, but as long as you can still smile brightly in the morning sun, I can still Continue to linger on."

"The enemy has not enough prisoners of war. I'm worried."

"Oh my God, I've seen this dead body of mine! It's the owner of the best bakery down the street! The worst has happened."

"I figured out how to bring a person back from the dead and then die in pain again. Enough, can we stop?"

"Wait, why did they add golden Specchio to this resurrection drop?"

"I understand. I released a fierce beast with my own hands. He stared at the people's heads, sucking their blood forever."

"The emperor, the prince, the empress, the prime minister... all the top dignitaries gathered together and took up residence in the royal family, this nest of pickled snakes and rats. I personally handed over this unparalleled power to these villains, and let them enter the palace in a dignified manner. Hall."

"'Root branding'? This is the biggest deception. Every child like this has several lifetimes of filth on his body!"

"They continued to threaten me to conduct research. This is impossible. I don't have the ability to close the cage, but I can at least make the beast show a few less fangs."

"Solve the problem that the transparent Specchio will shatter after soaking in the golden side for more than half a day and night? You can't even think about it."

"Vivienne, I'm sorry, we may have to go to hell together. I dragged the innocent you into hell together so shamelessly, I don't hope you can forgive me, but please at least punish me for my sins. "

"Vivienne, I don't have the face to live anymore. My life is like a clay puppet that broke into the temple. I can't move or speak, and I'm in a state of fear all day long. But fortunately, I can make amends for the future. heroes to do something."

"The Sinner Cooper - A Funny and Ridiculous Life"

"Crack" the dossier fell into the dust, but no one in the secret room spoke, and the room was silent.
