Countdown all over the world

Baker Street, 221B.

The curtains were tightly closed, completely blocking the sun hanging in the middle.When Dr. Watson came in, he even heard the buzzing of a few flies.

With a long sigh, he raised his legs and stepped over the stack of newspapers that had been on the ground for an unknown amount of time, but he still couldn't avoid a thread coming out of nowhere behind him.Will go around this intricate terrain.Finally, he walked to the side of his friend.

The well-known big detective is closing his eyes at this moment, pretending to be asleep.

But Watson knew that this man could not really be sleeping.Not to mention sleeping, even if he can really rest quietly for a quarter of an hour, he can shout a miracle.

"Be careful with my experiment."

When Holmes spoke suddenly, Watson was startled. He took a step back nervously, and asked in confusion, "What experimental product?"

As if answering his question, there was a "creaking" sound of something breaking under his feet.

Watson lowered his head helplessly, and slowly moved his feet away.The fresh dog's skull just shattered carelessly under his feet, and even a drop of fresh blood stuck to his brand new leather shoes.

"The one you crushed." Holmes opened his eyes and replied solemnly.

Watson took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress his desire to jump over and punch the detective in the face.Speaking of it, he seemed to have had such thoughts since he moved in.

What an exciting thing it would be to give the great detective a slap on his handsome chin!

thought Watson.

"Okay, it's time to work!" Holmes stood up, walked to the side of a stack of new newspapers, and picked them up. "There are clues in the Erthea Market."

Before Watson could react, Holmes was fully dressed, even putting on his signature hat.

"What are you waiting for?" Holmes stood at the door. "Time is running out!"

Watson blinked and regained his composure.Carefully avoiding the bones under his feet, he picked up his cane: "I thought you hated this hat."

Holmes ignored him, took a few steps to the street, and got into the carriage.There was a bit of excitement on his face, like a child who got a toy.

"The game is on!"

……

In Erzeya, a long sigh came from the dwelling not far away.

It's so hard trying to feed yourself!

Annie looked at her empty food basket again, and let out a long sigh.She turned her head and picked up her purse, grabbed a smaller vegetable basket, avoided the old and damaged branches at the bottom of the basket, and prevented it from scratching her skirt.

"Okay, let's go."

The market was as noisy as usual, filled with dozens of chirping ducks.People wearing sackcloth shuttled among them, and occasionally bypassed a few performing clowns and a gypsy woman who was holding a crystal ball and chanting.

Annie was very thankful that she was wearing the old linen clothes, even if it was scratched, it wouldn't be too much distress.

"Are you shopping for vegetables again?" The woman behind the vegetable stall obviously expected Annie's arrival, "Still the same, two bundles of vegetables and a little potato?"

Annie nodded, her eyes wandered over the top of the woman's head.

The woman quickly finished Annie's dishes, and put them in the basket for her neatly.

"Thank you." Annie said with a smile, and put three coins in the woman's hand.

The woman took it over, smiled and shook her head: "I said, Annie, you are so young, how can you live like an old man. You eat very healthy all day long, and taking a newspaper is exactly the same as the one at home gone."

Annie curled her lips, smiling as if she hadn't heard such a joke.

She looked at the countdown on the top of the woman's head, and calculated it, which seemed to be much less than what she saw last time.

"Actually, it's good to eat like this. You can try it too."

After speaking, Annie turned and left.As for whether a woman listens or not, it has nothing to do with her.That's all she said, even if the task was completed.

The way back is a little more difficult than the way back.

But for Annie, that's all.

"I thought you might want to hand over something."

At a corner, in a relatively quiet corner, a low-key boy suddenly appeared.Still holding a fruit in his hand, he took a bite with a clatter, and a drop of juice trickled down the corner of his mouth.

"What?" Annie raised her eyebrows, looking calmly at the boy's face in front of her.

The boy looked behind Annie, and several of his partners also walked over slowly, with satisfied smiles on their faces.Looking at Annie's eyes, it is also more aggressive.Still glowing slightly, like a wolf seeing a lamb to be slaughtered.

"I said, I think, you probably need to hand over something."

Annie glanced at the countdown countdown on the boy's head, pursed her lips and nodded.

"Okay, I understand." Annie curled her lips, "But, are you sure you want to keep doing this kind of thing?"

The boy opened his eyes exaggeratedly as if he heard something funny.Looking around at the companions who also had mocking expressions, he sneered: "Of course. But, girl, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?"

As expected, Annie saw that the countdown above the boy's head paused for a moment, as if he was doing some calculations.The time to move again in the next moment has been greatly reduced.

Annie raised her eyebrows. Looking at the number, it must have been reduced by three to five years, right?

"Stop talking nonsense with her!" The person next to her couldn't wait any longer, and was about to rush forward, obviously losing patience.

However, his pace will stop at a step away from Anne.He stood still carefully, not daring to move a little bit.I was afraid that if he was not careful, the dagger against his throat could make him bleed a little.

"Oh, this is really unfortunate." Annie pursed her lips, as if she was stumped, "I don't want to hand over anything."

Taking advantage of being frightened by the suddenly drawn dagger, she simply knocked him unconscious to the ground with an elbow.

Turning around, he put the dagger beside the boy's neck very quickly, and smiled innocently: "I think, even if I don't hand over anything, you don't have any objections."

Annie raised her eyebrows, and the dagger in her hand tightened mischievously following her upswing: "Right?"

"That's right!" The boy raised his hands unconsciously, his eyes fixed on Anne's dagger hand.That way, I am afraid that the sharp blade will go further.

Annie let go of her hand when she heard the satisfactory result.Looking at the relieved boy amusedly, he tilted his head and waited for his next move.

The boy swallowed nervously, and looked at Annie for a few seconds.Tentatively, he took two steps to the side.Seeing that Annie didn't seem to intend to stop him, she quickly ran away.

He didn't even care about his companions who were still fainting on the ground, it was like running for their lives.

Annie sneered, shook her head, turned around and was about to leave.

Picking up the vegetable basket, he inserted the dagger back into the small hole that looked old and broken at the bottom of the basket.After tidying up the wrinkled clothes caused by exercise, I left this corner step by step.

"It's so miserable." Annie muttered, "According to the speed above his head, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him at all if I come back a few times..."

She looked around boredly for a week, and as she expected, she saw a striking countdown on the heads of the people around her.Even in the daytime, the numbers glowed brightly.You know, if it's night, it's like there are countless lights around.It was almost impossible to see clearly.

Annie raised her head, looked at the sky above her head, and sighed softly.

In her eyes, she was the only one who didn't count down.

She couldn't explain why.It's like she never knew why when she woke up, the numbers on everyone's heads suddenly went back and forth.

Around the corner, Watson was solemnly waiting for the big detective to observe subtle clues.

"Ready, Sherlock?" he asked.

Holmes said nothing, but shook his head slightly.The subordinates also checked the fainted person very quickly, and the difference between the dust on different places on the clothes.

Watson said: "I thought, we need to find out the whereabouts of the witnesses first?"

"Where is that girl?" Holmes shook his head.

Watson stepped forward to pull Holmes up and took two quick steps, pointing to the back who was walking extremely steadily with a vegetable basket not far away: "It should be her."

Holmes narrowed his eyes, looking at the back not far away, thinking about something in his heart.Watson's voice still in his ears has gradually faded away, leaving only quiet thoughts in his mind.

"Who?" Annie felt that the gaze behind her was becoming more and more unscrupulous, and she turned her head quickly.

I was seeing a man not far away looking at me, with a very strange number on the top of his head.

? ? ? ? ? ?

A string of question marks.

Anne was a little surprised, this was the first time.
