super actress

82 text messages, 25 phone calls.

Here's Rhea Noren's assistant's curated, trimmed list of priorities.

Directors, producers, partners, brokerage companies, media tycoons... The important people Rhea has impressions and acquaintances are all on the list.

Messages from family and friends are also the first to reply.

But only without her current boyfriend.

It stands to reason that it would be impossible for Rhea to get a license to work as a doctor after suffering such a serious gunshot wound, but with her all-powerful agent, Matthew Malloy, there is nothing impossible.

Now he can indeed achieve semantic omnipotence.

These days, Rhea watched Malloy test his new mutation ability, and once again re-understand the materialism of this world in various senses.

With Malloy, Rhea's injury, however bad it was, wasn't that serious.

In the end, Malloy ignored Rhea's objections and accelerated the healing of her injuries.

So she also had to participate in the aftermath work.Rhea has reason to suspect that this is Malloy's real purpose. He is too busy and can only enlist the wounded.

Otherwise, how can it be explained that her agent can still come to her all day long at this time? The attention of this case has surpassed all the criminal incidents this year, and the topic has long surpassed her breaking the age record and winning the Oscar, and When Princess Diana was in a car accident.

Ridiculously, although the original intention is different.

But they did achieve the effect they originally planned to make their relationship public.

Thinking of Leonardo, Rhea's heart sank again amid the ups and downs.

Rhea flipped through the phone slowly, and after a while she was still repeating this action. Malloy, who came to the ward to deal with work together, simply put down his own affairs and just looked at her like this.

It took a while for Malloy to speak: "Have you finished reading it, do you want me to read it to you one by one?"

"That's how you treat a victim of a case." If it weren't for her weakness, Rhea would have hit him with her mobile phone. For the sake of the wound, she chose to put down the mobile phone.

She first tried to move away from the topic: "Looking at those media reports, I almost thought I was dead."

Malloy raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, "Did you ask Holm to report the news to you? I recruited your assistant, and it turned out to be entirely up to you. Didn't I tell you that you can't watch the news now?"

Rhea didn't seem to hear these complaints.

She said: "At least now the focus is on me, no one is

Pay attention to my scandal. "

Malloy was not angry, "What else do you want?"

"I'm wondering why no one has come to find me since I've been awake for so long." Rhea frowned unconsciously while thinking, "Unless they went to 'someone else' first."

"You mean they're on the murderer's side..."

Rhea didn't speak. This accident had brought her a huge shock. She didn't want to admit that she even felt jealous and unwilling.

That is the doubt and mistrust of mortals on the existence of extraordinary power.

This is the first time those abnormal existences have completely invaded her real life, her dreams and ambitions.Rhea Noren was offended.

From beginning to end, she doubted everything about this incident.Who allowed this murder, who caused this harm?When Rhea went back to check her memory, she found that the murderer who tried to murder her was the least important person.

The real murderer may be her who caused these things.

Finally, Rhea gave the answer after a long time of thought: "I want this matter to be only about me."

There is no relationship with her manager Malloy, nor with her ex-boyfriend Leonardo.Rhea didn't have any thoughts, and in her heart, she had already acquiesced in the ending of her love.

Malloy understood what she meant, and just said, "That's impossible." Too many people knew about their marketing plan, and sooner or later the culprit would be identified by the police and made public.

What's more, this case--

The case itself is a mess.

It can drive Hollywood crazy, it can drive the police crazy.

"I know someone who can make this possible."

Rhea smiled slightly: "His name is Sherlock Holmes." She remembered that she had a business card for consulting detectives.

"We're actors and agents. We're not good at solving crimes and committing crimes, so we'd better leave it to the professionals."

If she wants to exclude everyone else, first of all, "Alison Jolier" can't be a fangirl with a crush on Leonardo.

She hoped that Alison could live to that time.

Rhea checked the time when she fell asleep. According to the Hollywood media, it is now the 10th hour after the shooting of Rhea Nolen.

She borrowed the cell phone that Malloy had processed and dialed the number on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. The ringtone was picked up after the first thought. Rhea cleared her throat, "I don't know if you still remember me—"

But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted rudely by the other party: "You woke up, and

And if you can get permission to make phone calls after emergency surgery for serious injuries, your injuries are not serious, so I won. "

He spoke a series of analyzes very quickly, Rhea didn't listen carefully, but just grasped the key points. "Sherlock, are you betting on my death?"

"No, we all know that you are definitely not dead. We are just guessing whether you are pretending or not."

Rhea didn't expect that the British boy who only met a few times was still so keen, and could touch a corner of the truth even from such a long distance. "You know, the media is mourning me."

"That's why idiots like to buy those gossip papers."

Rhea knew that she was also a vain worldly person, so she didn't want to get entangled with Sherlock Holmes in this regard. She tried to build some relationship: "So Mycroft felt that I was really seriously injured."

"No, he knows you're faking it."

After Sherlock finished speaking, he deliberately delayed a long pause before telling her in the same arrogant tone as his brother: "But he is afraid, worried, guilty, and made a low-level mistake of being dazzled by hormones. Even if we reason The conclusion is that there is a 98% chance that you are taking the opportunity to act, but he still worries that you have a 2% risk of serious injury.”

This time it was Rhea who was silent.

Then she asked, "Since you're so smart, do you know why I'm looking for you?"

She could skip a topic, Sherlock was indifferent, and that was just one of the analytical arguments against Mycroft's folly.

"Mycroft's mission was to find out what happened to this case," Sherlock replied quickly, "but you didn't come to him, you came to me. Say you don't want him or them to know what's going on. "

Rhea interrupted his off-the-cuff analysis to ask, "Are you interested?"

The other party asked: "What do you think?"

Rhea replied patiently and followed Sherlock's tone: "If you are not interested, you won't waste your time talking to me so much. So you will definitely accept my employment, even though it will involve some illegal... "

"That's right, if your brain is smart enough, you won't ask these unnecessary questions."

Sherlock hung up the phone neatly, leaving no time for Rhea to react.

She's not annoyed, she's just holding her phone and thinking, Sherlock better not come over and deal with her with a nicotine patch on because he totally sounds like he's high.

Malloy silently took the cell phone from Rhea's hand. He didn't say a word the whole time, quietly listening to those who were talking to each other.

Then, waiting for Rhea to decide.

A good agent knows what to do and what not to do.

In the areas he is not good at, he chooses to hand over to Rhea Noren.

It's just that they don't know what Malloy is good at now.He quit smoking, trying to replace those bad habits with supernatural subtle abilities.

Twenty-one hours after the Rhea Nolen shooting.

A young man wrapped in a dark long windbreaker walked into the crime scene surrounded by heavy siege in a dignified manner.He was followed by the victim who wrapped himself up tightly.

Rhea looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar British man in front of him. His facial features were similar to Mycroft's in many ways, but when combined together, it was a completely new face.

Boys in this time period change too fast.

It's been a long time since Sherlock has grown taller, his arms and legs have grown longer, and the light in his eyes has become sharper.

It was the assistant Home who picked him up at the airport, and then he took Rhea back to here - the premiere theater of "The Talented Ripley".

At that time, Rhea thought that Sheklow was crazy.He got on the plane after hanging up the phone, and then landed in the United States, asking her to send someone to pick him up.

After that, a series of incredible demands were put forward.

Malloy nearly kills him, because Sherlock disrupts all the team's plans behind the scenes.In the past, this idea of ​​killing was just a joke, but now Malloy can make it a reality at any time.

Rhea took a hard time reassuring him.

At least Sherlock's flight time allowed them to get a lot done.

Sherlock really intends to help Rhea solve this trouble, but only if he follows his steps.That's why Rhea follows him back to the scene of the crime.

None of the reporters and passers-by who were intercepted took a second look at Rhea, because no one would have thought that she was the Hollywood star who was seriously injured in bed.

Instead, they were more interested in photographing the lead Sherlock.

She was curious: "How on earth did you get those policemen to allow us to come in?" The crime scene was cordoned off.

Sherlock pursed his thin lips, "I stole Mycroft's ID."

"what?"

He showed no apology for interrupting Rhea, and said forcefully, "So let's not waste time!"

within 24 hours of the incident.

The scene was well protected, and Sherlock naturally shuttled among the police detectives who were investigating the case, and would bombard the opponent with logical analysis whenever he encountered any doubts.

Even Rhea who followed her felt like being scolded.

But Rhea plays the background wall very quietly, and she doesn't need to shine in this field.When Sherlock was called, she was ready to jump on her feet.

But none of that mattered compared to what she was going to do.

Sherlock looked at the marked shooting locations, one for Rhea and one for the hapless film critic Gene Siskel.

According to media reports, the famous Hollywood actress was shot here to protect Gene.

He has the new injury examination report from the hospital provided by Rhea.

"How is this possible?" he muttered to himself as he paced.

Seeing that Sherlock has entered the state of talking to himself, Rhea followed him closely, playing the role of one-day assistant, "How is that impossible?"

"The shape of the blood spurt...that gun...if the distance is correct..."

He chattered endlessly, uncommon words and sentences were shot out like machine guns, and Rhea only captured some key words.She seems to be on the scene of a criminal investigation film, but she is just a side character who can't play her acting skills. Rhea struggles to keep up with Sherlock's rhythm.

She has to write down all the key information.

Then Sherlock stopped.

"...if Alison Jollier stood here and shot, how could you have saved Gene Siskel?"

Rhea covered her mask and replied: "So I was sent to the intensive care unit. Although I am very angry that you and Mycroft bet my life and death, I think you lost. I didn't pretend. My injury is really serious. serious."

But Sherlock wasn't listening at all. He had obviously done a lot of homework. He was able to recite Rhea's life in front of the spotlight by heart, and he was also familiar with her hidden side.

"Even if you train according to the standards of Olympic athletes during this period, it is impossible to have this speed. The injury report did not show any adrenaline surge, and all physical indicators are normal..."

"But in the photo, you were the only one wearing those red-soled high heels that night, so the shoe prints in the audience were only left by you, so you were there at that time..."

Rhea sighed leisurely, knowing that Sherlock didn't intend to ask her the client at all, so she stopped interjecting and just listened quietly.

It is very likely that he just wanted to discover the truth before Mycroft, so he casually agreed to her flying over to solve the case.Anyway, Sherlock didn't believe Rhea, the victim, at all.

In the end, he came to his own conclusion: "Exclude all impossible things, and what remains, even if it is impossible, is the truth."

"The fact is, you can't save Gene Siskel, otherwise the dead will be either him or you, unless..."

"Thank you."

Sherlock interrupted her so many times, this time Rhea interrupted Sherlock early.She unarmed herself and revealed her face, which made Sherlock, who was immersed in his own world, also stuck.

"Thank you for being willing to check for me. I didn't know we had made so many mistakes. Even with the help of mutants and no criminal experience, there are still too many loopholes."

Her complexion is still a bit haggard, but it does not affect the charm of this figure in the slightest.The fragility of those charming blue eyes under high pressure is even stronger than the amorous feelings on the screen.

That blond hair, like molten gold, seems to have eyes that are so hot that they can burn people.

In the image, Rhea Noren is always the strong one occupying the center. At this time, this place, and in front of this Sherlock, she doesn't mind being weak.

The police detectives patrolling back and forth suddenly stopped and looked at the focus of their sight.

"I know I'm not as smart as Mycroft, nor as vicious as Andrea Witter, and I don't have the power of S.H.I.E.L.D.." Rhea smiled nonchalantly as if she didn't notice those gazes.

"Maybe they really care about me, but they won't deal with mutants like Professor X for me."

Rhea sighed and said, "I know Professor X won't let Malloy go easily, just like they won't let me go."

"I made a mistake and brought unrelated people into trouble. I want to fix my mistake." Rhea smiled helplessly.

"So I thought of this method, but I'm still very grateful that you are willing to help me so much."

Sherlock said his own interrupted sentence: "You are a mutant."

There are weird undercurrents surging under the normal and peaceful surface of this world, and those things that are covered up by the government and other forces will not disappear because of hiding.

Mycroft had never told him any of this, but Sherlock wasn't ignorant of it.

"No, but my partner is."

Rhea ran her hands through her blond hair, she was really beautiful.But what Sherlock sees is not the beauty defined by women's aesthetics in the normal sense, but the puzzle formed by the weird and unnatural combination.

Decipherable but unknowable, so beautiful.

Enough even to blow Mycroft's head.

She is a vulgar, vain, and selfish woman, just like any dreamer in this Hollywood Vanity Fair, caught in repeated competition for interests.It's just that her beauty makes her the focus, and her talent makes her stand out.

But she is also a mysterious, vague, unfathomable thing, attracting equally complex and inexplicable secrets.

You can see through it at a glance, but you can't reach the bottom when you reach out.

Sherlock's brain was running fast, and he found a rare excitement and joy. This kind of pleasure in solving puzzles can only be compared with taking drugs.He saw the most difficult problem, and she stood in front of her alive, as if she would never be solved.

Charming and hard to find.

"What do you want me to do when you find me?"

"I want you to help me complete the most perfect crime." Rhea touched the wound on her chest through her clothes. "You've helped me."

"But it has already happened, and even if you try to cover up those traces, you will only leave new traces in the cover."

"So the way I came up with was to not let those incriminating evidence happen in the first place."

The hesitant and shocked American police detectives came to their senses and quickly surrounded her: "Miss Nolen, how did you get permission to leave the hospital? Your agent rejected our meeting request, can you now..."

"Miss Nolen, when the incident happened you..."

"Please cooperate with us in answering our questions..."

Twenty-one hours after the Rhea Nolen shooting.

"Within 24 hours."

Rhea took out her mobile phone and confirmed the time again.

Professor X said to Malloy: "How did you... when did you learn?"

He revived Gene Siskel, and then learned Professor X's abilities.

Professor X said to her: "We can work together." Rhea played out a hysterical scene with him in her head.

When she woke up, she found that Malloy's perception had evolved.

"They need a mysterious case that is so bizarre that it will not be solved within ten years, or even forever." This is just an exaggeration by the marketing head Malloy to deceive Professor X.

In fact, all they need is a sensational case. "It takes a perfect victim, a perfect perpetrator."

Sherlock asked: "Alison Jolier is just a fan of Leonardo, what else do you want to write about her?"

"No." Rhea felt sorry for Alison, but she would not be sorry for the murderer who wanted to hurt herself.

Hands are kind and soft.

No matter how cruel the world is, Rhea doesn't want to be buried at the bottom. "Alison Jolier is not obsessed with Leonardo, she is an extremist who hates bitches and whores."

"Because of my origins, she hated my success, so she wanted to kill me."

As long as you take away the things that have nothing to do with people, everything will return to Rhea Noren.

"laugh--"

With a soft bang, Rhea lit Malloy's lighter.

The world is like a vortex, twisted and turned back to the past.Everything goes back to the first hour before the Rhea Nolen shooting.

She still has to fight with Professor X, she still has to get shot, she still has to wake up weak again after surgery, and she still has to deal with her career.

But this time, she had enough time to deal with all traces of evidence, enough time to make the so-called Alison Jolier forget everything she should have forgotten.

Definitely, impeccable.

If Professor X knew that Malloy's ability had been developed to reverse time within 24 hours, he would definitely not let them go.

His mutant ability has been suppressed for too long.

It's been so long that Professor X himself doesn't know what kind of mutant Malloy is.Once the shackles are released, they can no longer be controlled.

It's a pity that Professor X can no longer sneak into Malloy's mind now, nor can he enter Rhea Noren's.

Acting is her only bargaining chip in this extraordinary world.

She still thought: "Why, I'm not a mutant..."

In the secret base tens of thousands of kilometers away from the hospital, Andre Witter walked out alone. From the properly folded chest pocket square to the clean and brand-new soles of his shoes, he was still glamorous and ruthless.

He pondered for a while, then took off the disposable gloves on his hands and threw them into the trash can by the door.

"How is it possible? Is it really just a coincidence..."

In the prison cell, the smell of blood was so strong that it drowned out all breaths.The guards outside the door froze and kept silent, for fear that the deep-thinking Andri Werther would notice his presence.

When a conspirator who kills with his brain does it himself, even the real executioner must be afraid of his viciousness and viciousness.

"drop--"

The sound of the SMS reminder broke the silence in the room.Andri pulled out his phone and checked it.

"Mr. Witt, the time you have used this body has reached the limit, and the negative effects of forcible use will become greater and greater. It is recommended to update the body as soon as possible."
