Sherlock Holmes

Chapter 375 Theft and Curing Demons (Part 1)

The newspaper on the front line has been strictly sealed by the military and is not even allowed to be circulated to other military districts, let alone taken out of the Strait coast.

But where there are people, there must be means. The things described in this newspaper can be regarded as the biggest news in recent years, and can even be compared with the Pope's accession to the throne, the emperor's change of throne, etc., so even with the military's strict investigation , someone finally took the risk and used extremely thrilling means to take him out of the war zone.

And precisely because of the hard-won nature of these newspapers and their huge influence, they can only be circulated in some upper-class circles.

Unfortunately, the current Saintess is undoubtedly the top group of people in this circle.

As for Miss Irene Adler, regardless of her status, it makes perfect sense for her to spend millions to buy a newspaper.

Therefore, at this moment, these two women, both extremely powerful in their respective fields, were in a bad mood after reading the same newspaper in different places.

What's so good about that woman called Nightingale?

Okay, even if she is a woman, she has to admit that her appearance is indeed impeccable.

But whether it is the current saint or Ms. Irene, they are not bad people. They should be a little self-aware. With Sherlock looking like that, if he is with Miss Nightingale, wouldn't he have some pressure?

Besides, a woman is not a flower vase. You can’t just look at her face, but also her ability.

That woman can only cure diseases, but she alone, no matter how powerful she is, can only treat hundreds of people at a time. As a saint, Mrs. Hudson, if medical reforms are implemented in major dioceses, the lives of believers will Praying sincerely can be included in the priority of disease cure. The more devout believers are, the more favorable medical treatment they can get. This will not only make people's faith stronger, but also make the medical focus more equal and enjoy Top-notch medical treatment is no longer only available to nobles.

In this way, it would have a more profound impact on the empire's medical cause than Nightingale's travels around the world.

Ms. Irene is even more simple and direct. She can set up a fund with downward compatibility with medical conditions. If the upper class invests money in the fund, they can enjoy other preferential treatment provided by the fund in addition to medical treatment. This not only provides a platform for people in various fields to communicate, but also allows the invested funds to be used as advance mortgage, so that both parties are not afraid of suddenly going back on their word in the middle of certain businesses. If these funds are invested in the drug research and development industry, they will definitely be beneficial to the industry. Medical prices have improved dramatically.

So, what’s so good about Nightingale’s woman?

After thinking about it, it might just be the advantage of being close to the water and on a first-come-first-served basis.

Huh, the rabbit doesn't eat the grass beside its nest, men are really not good things!

"Aqiu~~"

Sherlock, who was far away in the extreme south of the planet, suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and felt that he had been really tired recently. Without the blessing of the dream realm, he actually had some symptoms of a cold.

These days, he is not living well in his small camp. In the previous mission, he led a dozen large demons alone in the wilderness, rescuing trapped soldiers and killing them. The entire demon group has already established a very good image in the minds of the soldiers.

In fact, it is indeed the case. Now I am wandering around the base. When I am seen by other soldiers, they all greet me with smiles. Some of them don't care whether they are officers or not, or even whether they are soldiers. Anyway, they all stand at attention immediately. Salute, with great respect.

but

Those pursuits and the "click-click-click" sound of taking pictures that came from hidden corners from time to time gave Sherlock a headache. In fact, with his observation skills, he had already discovered the bastard reporters hiding in the corner of the barracks, waiting for opportunities to take photos. , but I can't go up and break the legs of these bastards. Well, otherwise, I can really enter their barracks one night to scare the monkeys.

Also, leaving aside these reporters, my colleague, partner, and roommate John Watson has also had a lot of opinions on me recently. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he would occasionally wake up in the middle of the night and find someone when he opened his eyes. Who could stand standing next to his bed, staring directly at him, and with his alertness, he didn't even notice how long the other person had been standing next to the bed.

In addition, during the day, Watson always spilled coffee on his quilt cover intentionally or unintentionally. When he was walking, he accidentally touched the clothes hanger and dropped his only windbreaker to the ground. He didn't notice it for a while and stepped over it with a big step.

This kind of behavior made Sherlock increasingly unable to stay in the barracks.

In desperation, he came to the demon containment area behind the war zone to see how his crimson injury was recovering.

On the front line, the contractors are a group of special soldiers with extremely strong combat power, and their weapons are not guns or tanks, but these contract demons.

Therefore, there is a huge holding room at the back of each war zone, where all the demons of the war zone's contractors are stored, and all matters such as the strategic handover with the devil breeding farm are located here.

Sherlock is not a member of the military, but he is also a contractor, and his Crimson is here to heal his injuries, so he is naturally qualified to enter. Under the guidance of some soldiers with guns, he pushed open a small door for humans to enter and exit. It was also the first time for him to see this huge warehouse like a factory manufacturing workshop. The demon sedative containers hanging above his head were continuously transported to various areas along the high-altitude ropeway. The pipes of different colors were all over the edge of the building, which was dazzling to look at. , but upon closer inspection, it is very orderly.

After passing through a huge space with a height of twenty to thirty meters, he was taken into another area at the rear, where some demons who were injured during the mission and needed treatment were stored. Some staff members wearing chemical suits were gathering closely. He inserted the repair solution into the interfaces of some containers, and those containers were filled with huge bloody bodies. The drainage device at the bottom continuously poured a large amount of bloody water into the underground pipes.

After a brief exchange with the person in charge of the treatment warehouse, Sherlock finally saw his crimson color.

In the recent mission with Major General Ulysses, Crimson was seriously injured, and then he urgently followed him to the Demon Tide War Zone. During the continuous high-intensity operations, the wounds that had not fully healed were torn again, and new wounds and old wounds were torn apart. The combined injuries made this terrifying giant that was supposed to look invincible now look a little embarrassed.

In the repair solution, green bubbles kept rising upwards, and clear fracture lines could be seen on the exoskeleton. The constant flow of blood between the exposed scarlet muscles caused the repair solution to rapidly change color and oxidize, so that Continuous replacement of the fluid is required to allow the repair process to continue.

The connection between Sherlock and Crimson is extremely close, so unlike ordinary contractors, at close range, even if they are soaked in solution, they can still feel the slightest pain feedback on their bodies.

Next to the container, several staff members were recording something against a row of pipes and rotating pointers. Sherlock walked over:

"Hello, I am the contractor of this demon. How long will it take for this guy to be put into use again?"

Several staff members were startled.

Originally, they were shocked by the horrific injuries of this demon. They couldn't understand what kind of guy made his demon look like this. Wasn't he afraid that he would die due to the backlash?

After that, I heard the rumors about this demon controller on the battlefield, as well as the recent tabloid news that was making a lot of noise. I couldn't help but look at the man in front of me repeatedly. I was shocked, curious, and of course, with an inexplicable admiration. I quickly responded:

"Don't worry, it will only take half a month for your contracted demon to be active again."

"Half a month" Sherlock frowned: "Why does it take so long?"

Of course he doesn't know that demons are a precious fighting force on the front line. Under normal circumstances, as long as it is not an emergency war, these demons need to be put into the battlefield in a intact posture, otherwise they will die instantly due to some hidden injuries. If it falls, it will be a big loss.

After listening to the explanation, Sherlock also expressed his understanding, but it would be too uncomfortable to let himself be so idle for another half a month. Not to mention those bastard reporters, as for Watson, maybe now He was really trying to figure out how to assassinate himself.

then

"I think the progress is a bit slow just by soaking in the repair solution. Can't we focus on treating the wounds? For example, take a big needle and insert it directly into the demon's body, so that the medicine can directly affect the muscles or internal organs. This should speed up the efficiency a lot."

Listening to this suggestion, several staff members twitched their eyebrows in embarrassment, thinking that the devil is not a factory machine. Are you being too hasty in doing this?

But in fact, theoretically speaking, it is possible to do this. Take humans as an example. Injecting medicine into muscles and blood vessels will definitely take effect faster than taking a bath.

But the behemoth in front of us is a demon after all. Generally, after a demon is seriously injured, its contractor will not fare well, ranging from dizziness to bedridden. Therefore, after the war, the demon is soaked in a solution containing sedatives. Among them, it has become the norm. Besides, injuries can only be seen on the surface. Where are the injuries inside? The internal muscles are torn, or there are cracks in the bones. Humans don’t have clairvoyant eyes, so why? Maybe you know it, but even if you know it, how about taking the devil out of the container and putting a bottle in it? Wouldn't that mean that the devil who has been controlled by the contractor should remain motionless! How much effort does this take?

Sherlock seemed to notice the distress of the staff in front of him and smiled nonchalantly:

"In fact, there is no need to consider other things, and there is no need to consider whether the operability can be realized. As long as it can be successful in theory, the rest can be left to me."

The staff's expression became cautious. What does "just leave it to me" mean?

Sherlock didn't explain much: "Anyway, let this guy out." He pointed at the huge container in front of him and said.

"What?!" The staff member was startled: "I'm sorry, sir, this is not possible. Contracted demons belong to military combat forces. Only under orders from the military can the contracted demons be released. This is impossible for you. I don’t know.”

"Uh," Sherlock said in a long voice, "Don't tell me, I really don't know because I'm not from the military."

"???" Several people in front of them were stunned.

"Also, this demon is my private property. If you don't believe me, you can call the Academy of Life Sciences. Of course, you can also ask the demon breeding farm. If you can't get in touch with them, I can call them. The current Pope made a call, because this demon was pardoned by him and returned to my name, and there should be clear records on the giant island of Odilia.

In short, the reason why this big guy appears on the front line now is because the military secretly transported it all the way without my consent. If I want to be more serious, I can sue the frontline theater for theft. "

Speaking of this, these staff members couldn't help but stare and cast incredulous looks.

Sue the frontline military for theft? ? ?

What the hell is this?

"So, release it quickly. I just want to speed up the treatment progress, but I don't want to kill this guy."

After a few more minutes of logical rape, the big brothers in front of them seemed to feel that something was not right, but when they thought about it carefully, they really felt that they had no right to keep this demon in the container. Anyway, in the end, The container where Crimson was located was slowly opened, and the giant seven- to eight-meter-tall creature finally came out.

In the past few days, because of that photo, the entire military region was immersed in a very subtle atmosphere. Of course, those war reporters did not dare to trouble Nightingale, so most of the pressure was on Sherlock. on the body.

Of course she did not cause this matter, but it had something to do with her. After several days of ideological struggle, this well-respected girl seemed to feel that she had caused some trouble for Sherlock and should find someone to help him. Time to apologize to him.

After some questioning, she was led by several soldiers to the demon holding room.

Although she was not qualified to enter here, she was able to access it unimpeded, and no one would stop her along the way.

And when that door is opened.

"ah!"

This young girl with a strong psychological endurance couldn't help but cover her slightly open mouth in surprise.
