Chapter 61 The Eve

"Who is talking?" Sherlock looked around in surprise, it was unimaginable that someone could sneak into the room under the noses of him and Di Renjie.

"It's me," the voice sounded again, and there seemed to be a hint of unhappiness in the tone that had been ignored.

"Who is it?" Di Renjie followed the reputation, but found that the voice seemed to be coming from Sherlock, but it was obviously not Sherlock's voice. Could it be that Sherlock suddenly learned ventriloquist?

Sherlock also noticed that the source of the sound seemed to be related to himself, but he obviously didn't make any strange sounds just now.

Just when the two were at a loss, Sherlock suddenly felt a vibration in the pocket of his coat.

[Could it be here? 】

【But there seems to be only a pocket watch here...】

Thinking of the pocket watch, Sherlock remembered Mycroft's introduction to the pocket watch: "the key to step into the door of mystery."

[If it's this thing, it doesn't seem too strange to be able to make a sound? 】

Thinking of this, Sherlock reached out and prepared to take out the pocket watch that Mycroft gave him from his pocket.

As a result, just before he was about to carry out this action, two small hands that seemed to be smeared with simple ink grabbed the edge of his pocket and forced himself to drag a part of the pocket watch out.

It can be seen that this hand should be drawn according to the standard of human hands, but for some reason, at this moment, looking at this pocket watch with two hands, Sherlock and Di Renjie immediately thought of Instead, it was a snail crawling hard in the sink.

[Although, it is still a bit too strange. 】

Looking at the pocket watch that was struggling to climb, Sherlock thought absentmindedly.

After a while, the pocket watch was placed in the center of the coffee table in the living room, and the cover was opened to reveal the portrait of a man drawn on it. Sherlock and Di Renjie sat side by side on the sofa opposite the coffee table with serious faces.

"So, let me tell you, the key that His Excellency Mycroft claimed to help Sherlock step into the extraordinary is not the pocket watch itself, but the... um... Your Excellency in the pocket watch?" Di Renjie, as a person with certain extraordinary experience, Help Sherlock sort out the situation.

"Just call me Francis." The figure dressed as an aristocrat in the pocket watch said politely.

"Then how will you help me step into the extraordinary, Your Excellency Francis?" Sherlock asked curiously.

"John should be clear about this process. In fact, he also uses the afterglow of sublimation..." Francis briefly introduced the newcomer's views on the path of entering the eternal balance, while Di Renjie added a few words with his own experience.

"So that's it. It sounds very interesting. I can't wait." Sherlock showed a very interested look.

"Don't be in a hurry, you can think about the precautions I just told you for a few days, so that you will be more confident when you get promoted. After all, I am not in a hurry like Charles." Francis said happily.

For some reason, Di Renjie felt as if he had been internalized.

"What you said makes sense..." Sherlock suppressed his emotions.

"Also, remember what I said at the beginning?" Francis asked the two of them.

"Are you referring to the fact that it's not appropriate for Sherlock to attend the Butter Milk Owl Party?" Di Renjie recalled.

"That's right," Francis nodded cheerfully.

"What's the reason?" Sherlock asked.

"John's share of afterglow comes from Charles, so he's naturally a member of the Buttermilk Owl's party, but yours, Sherlock, comes from another party, so you'd better go to your own party first before visiting It would be more decency for scholars to attend Charles's parties."

"So that's how it is." The human experience here is not complicated, and Sherlock and Di Renjie immediately understood the truth after listening to it:
"Then which party should I join? Is it your Lord Francis' party?"

"No, as a fourth-order sage, I am no longer in charge of the party affairs. In fact, what you will join is a party under the empirical school I founded. The person in charge is Thomas. He and Charles is a good friend, and the name of the party is: The London Jellyfish Party."

After Francis finished speaking, Di Renjie and Sherlock had surprised expressions on their faces.

Sherlock: [Why are the names of these academic gatherings so strange! ? 】

Di Renjie: [This is actually a fourth-level sage? ! 】

In short, after the initial surprise, Di Renjie and Sherlock gradually accepted that there was a talking pocket watch at home...

Of course, this matter was not so easy to say, especially when Sherlock was told what the fourth level of science by Di Renjie meant, he finally guessed Francis' identity.

This caused 221B Baker Street to fall into a turbulent situation for a while, because Francis had repeatedly criticized the deductive method "during his lifetime", while Sherlock was a fan of the deductive method, and the two once stood on both sides of the coffee table for this Debating with each other for a whole day, in the end Francis won the next round by relying on himself without eating and drinking.

As a result, Sherlock then made a request to change the party. He hoped to join the butter milk owl party. He said that even if he starved to death, he should not join the school of experience.

Di Renjie said that he had no objection, but then Francis moved out another big boss of the empirical school, and softened his tone, claiming that induction and deduction are actually equally important as the two most important logics, which finally dispelled Sherlock. The idea of ​​"abandoning darkness and turning to light".

Other than that, there hasn't been much going on at 221B Baker Street recently, but outside Baker Street, London has once again been caught in a storm of public opinion.

With the gradual exposure of the big case of the loss of the crown, the media, parliament and public opinion once again put the Gladstone cabinet on the cusp.

Mr. Prime Minister’s performance is as tough as ever, but he also claimed that the imperial government is sending a mission led by the foreign minister to visit European countries, and many high-level police officers are also visiting with the delegation, including the loss of the crown. Superintendent Guro.

In addition, for the recent series of incidents, the current cabinet feels deeply guilty, and has launched a top-down, accurate and effective internal inspection, and must give an explanation to all the subjects of the empire.

Finally, the attitude of the royal family is also very ambiguous. Her Majesty Victoria, who has always disliked Mr. Gladstone, did not lose her temper, but publicly expressed her trust in the current cabinet, which surprised all the spectators.

As we all know, Prime Minister Gladstone once claimed in a high-profile manner that the imperial family should not interfere in government affairs. It is said that Her Majesty the Queen, who was on vacation at Osborne Palace at the time, was so angry that she even called Gladstone a "mad dog". It was a near-public break at one point.

However, now that Gladstone's mistake has been finally caught, Her Majesty the Queen gently bypassed it. This makes people wonder whether there is a more treacherous political game hidden behind the seemingly simple theft.

All in all, the storm of public opinion in London is intensifying.

But all of this has nothing to do with Di Renjie for the time being. He is waiting for the party tonight with anticipation and joy; and Sherlock is also anxious and curious, ready to step into the extraordinary world.
