Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

After all, compared to women, it would be hard for any man to resist such a large toy. Under the helpless gaze of Luye, Mangye and Hulk engaged in the most primitive duel - playing rock-paper-scissors to decide who would be the first to experience the charm of Sherlock, the large toy.

The final result was that Mangyan won!

Despite this outcome, the seating arrangement in the vehicle remained largely unchanged, since Lu Ye, as a user of the Chase-Hao vehicle, would naturally sit in the passenger seat to give directions.

However, after the three boarded the car in order, the scene inside almost made their eyes pop out.

Putting aside the fact that the vehicle's materials, tuning, and interior were surprising enough, and also the Sherlock Holmes-themed paint job full of wicked humor, the sheer amount of space in the back of the vehicle—a three-bedroom, one-living room layout—was enough to surprise the three of them.

This is especially true for Kano.

If before getting into the car, Sherlock's impression of the guy was that he had some abilities, a wicked sense of humor, and a glib tongue, then when Sherlock saw the three-bedroom, one-living-room space in the back row, which hadn't changed the car's appearance and didn't even have any spiritual energy, it was as if the space had appeared out of thin air.

For the first time, Kano took Sherlock's abilities seriously, and his contempt for Sherlock, which seemed to rely entirely on connections, lessened.

However, Sherlock didn't care. After making sure everyone was on the bus, Sherlock ran into the room and hid, leaving the journey within the border entirely to Kano and his two companions.

The facts proved one thing: Sherlock's limited edition Baja Raptor was indeed excellent. No matter what kind of road it was, or even if there was no road at all, this car could travel smoothly. Wild Eyes and Hulk had a great time.

Of course, it's not without its downsides. The biggest downside is that Sherlock's car's paint job, combined with the foreign license plate, is just too eye-catching.

Coupled with the fact that the 318 National Highway is already a popular route, Sherlock's car became an instant hit on the Chinese internet.

Fortunately, with the coordination of Da Shi and others, this matter was ultimately classified as a foreign citizen spraying paint before entering the country, which was a matter of personal will and would not be pursued. It was simply a celebrity's behavior and was left unresolved.

Sherlock could never have imagined that the 'place for the purification of the souls of cattle and horses' that he had longed for in his previous life would arrive in this way.

When Sherlock finally arrived at the foot of the majestic Potala Palace, a place said to be able to stand upright in legend, he understood why people said it was a place where one could forget their troubles and purify their soul.

It's very simple. Because the brain is lacking oxygen, you can't think about your worries at all, so you naturally forget your troubles.

As for purifying the soul, once you've experienced the ultimate social death like Sherlock, you'll find that those messy emotions in your heart are no longer shackles, but just fleeting clouds.

Chapter 534 At least leave us a car!

Sherlock never imagined that his obsession with driving the 318 highway before his time travel would be fulfilled under such circumstances, let alone that he would suffer such a terrible ordeal during his so-called 'self-driving' journey.

The group spent about four days driving to LS and stayed there for two days.

During their two-day stay in LS, Luye and her two companions were extremely busy, while Sherlock did not participate in any operations, spending the entire time on the bed with his oxygen tank, enacting a life-or-death struggle with it.

The only time I went out was to find a Tibetan restaurant nearby, mostly frequented by locals, and try Tibetan dumplings.

Sherlock commented that the beef flavor was quite strong, and you could tell it was made with good beef just by tasting it. He added that it would probably taste even better if some onions were added to the minced meat!

You might not believe it, but in LS, this "holy city" of the snowy region, the most common restaurants aren't Tibetan restaurants, but Sichuan restaurants!

And in LS, Sherlock felt that the best food he had ever eaten was fucking KFC, McDonald's, and Pizza Hut!

Of course, it's also possible that Sherlock's tastes simply couldn't adapt to the food in the snowy region, or perhaps the limited time he had meant he didn't have the chance to delve into the holy city he had longed for in his previous life as a cow or horse.

After finishing their business in Luye, the group drove towards Shigatse once again.

As the altitude increased, Sherlock felt increasingly like he was dying, even with the help of oxygen tanks. Fortunately, they did not stay in Shigatse for too long. They moved directly from National Highway 318 in Shigatse to National Highway 219, and after crossing DR County, they headed towards NLM County, which is located on the border.

The closer you get to the border, the higher the altitude becomes, since this border area is actually part of the Himalayas, so the altitude is naturally not low.

Lu Ye's pursuit eventually led him to an abandoned house in a valley in the mountains.

If they continue forward, they will have crossed the border. Mangy and Hulk can only accompany Luye and Sherlock this far. Even Luye doesn't know how to follow them any further.

The reason is quite simple.

Anyone who has studied even a little geography should know that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau borders other countries in a natural barrier like a cliff. In fact, Bhutan is a country without any flat land; it is entirely built on the slopes of mountains.

Given this situation, the method by which Hydra led its group of lesser demons across the border was actually quite simple: methods such as unpowered paragliding or wingsuit flying could directly and safely cross the border of China and directly enter the heartland of the neighboring country.

It was precisely because of this absolute difference in elevation, coupled with the fact that they had been delayed on the way, that when they arrived here, Lu Ye's pursuit was finding it relatively difficult to pinpoint the spiritual essence of the abducted little demons.

When Luye told Sherlock the news, Sherlock, who was suffering from altitude sickness and barely alive, and whose mind was filled with the thought of finishing this damned mission so he could take a long vacation and rest, decided to show Luye what cheating really meant.

Without any hesitation, he grabbed Kano's arm and activated the power of the Space Stone.

With a flash of blue light, Lu Ye and Sherlock vanished right before the eyes of Mang Yan and Hulk.

Looking at the empty, dilapidated hut in front of them, Mangyan and Hulk were completely dumbfounded. After a while, two roars that were almost overlapping each other resounded throughout the valley on the border.

Rogue Eyes & Hulk: "You two bastards, at least leave us a car!!!"

……

Meanwhile, Lu Ye only felt a flash of blue light before her eyes, and the next second Sherlock brought her to a group of antique buildings with a very exotic style.

Most importantly, in front of them stood a black man in a dark green robe, as if he had known they were coming, waiting for them.

The moment Sherlock appeared, Mordo didn't even lift his eyelids, and spoke directly to Sherlock.

"The Sorcerer Supreme has arranged accommodations. You can stay in Kamar-Taj for three days, and then go directly to Luxembourg."

After saying that, Mordo turned around and led Sherlock into Kamar-Taj almost without hesitation.

Although Luye had no idea what was going on or where they were, Sherlock had no intention of being polite. He decisively pulled Luye along with Mordo toward the room that the black-hearted boiled egg had arranged.

Sherlock definitely needs to slow down; in fact, he feels that if he doesn't, he might actually die on the way.

As for the Ancient One telling them to go to Luxembourg in three days, Sherlock had no doubts at all. After all, although the Ancient One was ruthless, she still had the Time Stone, which allowed her to read the script!

If there's anything about the Ancient One's arrangements that Sherlock was unhappy about, or even something that would have driven him to cause trouble for the Ancient One if it weren't for his lingering altitude sickness symptoms, there would only be one thing.

Why the hell are there so many cat toys in the room that the Ancient One arranged?!

When Kano saw those damn cat toys, the way he looked at Sherlock started to look weird!

Is he afraid of not dying completely? He was tormented half to death by altitude sickness, and now that he finally gets three days of rest, he has to sleep with one eye closed and stand guard with the other open every night to prevent Lu Ye from assassinating him, right?

You heartless boiled egg! If you want me dead, just say so!

Upon seeing the room full of cat toys, Sherlock was internally ranting and raving, but clearly Mordo had no intention of explaining anything to Sherlock.

With a sly grin on his face, he turned and patted Sherlock on the shoulder before speaking to him.

“This room was specially arranged by the Supreme Master. It has two separate bedrooms. You can decide which one to use.”

After saying this, Mordo turned and ran, even faster than when he was leading the way.

Of course, if his shoulders hadn't been shaking so badly while he was running away, Sherlock might have genuinely believed it was all a coincidence.

Damn it, that heartless boiled egg was blatantly trying to rip me off!

However, just as Sherlock's mind was racing, trying to find a reason to defend himself, Lu Ye's voice, so cold it was almost icy, rang out behind him.

"Sherlock, you'd better give me a perfect explanation that isn't just some obviously ridiculous excuse like coincidence!"

The moment Sherlock heard Lu Ye's breath, which sounded like it came from the deepest hell, only one thought remained in his mind.

Oh no, I'm doomed!

Chapter 535 Sherlock's "Small" Revenge

Sherlock practically risked his life to barely convince Lu Ye that the room full of cat toys was not something he had arranged beforehand, but rather the work of a wicked, unscrupulous man named Gu Yi who had a script in his hands.

As for what it means to have the script in hand, Sherlock explained the wonders of the Time Stone to Hanton and Kano, even showing off his Space Stone and Reality Stone. He also made a promise to take Kano to see the Ancient One the next day, which made Kano reluctantly choose to let Sherlock go.

Although he let her go, before returning to his room, Lu Ye still glanced at the room full of cat toys and then at Sherlock before walking into his room and slamming the door shut.

The meaning was clear: if Luye discovered that Sherlock was lying to her, then a showdown in the capital city would probably be inevitable to resolve the issue of all the cat toys in the room.

Although Sherlock truly had no intention of deceiving Deer, for some reason Sherlock always felt guilty, perhaps because his mind hadn't recovered from lack of oxygen.

Clutching the oxygen tank, Sherlock looked at the room full of cat toys, gritted his teeth, and turned back to his room. After repeatedly making sure the door was locked, he finally fell asleep, still clutching the oxygen tank one last time.

Nothing happened that night. After a good night's rest, Sherlock woke up refreshed the next morning. His head no longer ached as if it were about to explode from lack of oxygen. The tension caused by the lack of oxygen was restored, and his intelligence returned to its former glory.

The first thing Sherlock did was sit on the edge of the bed and regret it.

As for the reason, it's very simple. Because of the brain deprivation caused by oxygen deficiency, Sherlock was tormented half to death by altitude sickness, but he didn't think of using alchemy to enhance his oxygen absorption rate, or simply using the Reality Stone to distort the reality of his altitude sickness!

It can only be said that sometimes being too 'forgetful of troubles' is not a good thing, and you might even subconsciously forget the 'solution'.

After sitting on the edge of the bed and giving a long confession about the altitude sickness symptoms that nearly killed him because of his own stupidity, Sherlock decisively burned the oxygen tank that had accompanied him all the way, which seemed like his dearest friend, brother, or even someone he had to rely on for life and death when going to the toilet or taking a shower.

For no other reason than to teach myself a lesson and, incidentally, vent my frustrations.

After slowly getting dressed, Sherlock finally pushed open the door to his room, only to find Luye sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for him with a cold face.

Of course, this is on the condition that you ignore the obviously crumpled, fish-shaped cushion stuffed with catnip and catnip.

As Sherlock walked out of the room, his eyes were fixed on the cushion next to him. Almost instinctively, Kano's face flushed slightly. His metal shards quickly transformed into spikes in his hand, and he asked Sherlock in an unfriendly tone.

Do you want to die?

Upon hearing Lu Ye's words, Sherlock chuckled and looked away, waving his hand as if nothing had happened. He then turned and walked outside, intending to take Lu Ye out for a meal before meeting that damned, heartless boiled egg.

Fortunately, no problems were encountered during this time. After finishing their meal, Sherlock successfully led Luye to meet the wicked Gu Yi.

If there's anything that Sherlock is unhappy about, it's probably the Black Heart Boiled Egg's masterful rhetoric of having the script in his hand.

Damn it, she was the one who prepared a whole room full of cat toys. I almost had a life-or-death showdown with Kano no Hiroshi last night because of this, but when we met, that damn boiled egg just brushed it off with a single, nonchalant sentence.

"We have prepared a small gift, and we apologize if it offends you. Please believe that we did not mean any harm."

Most importantly, Kano actually seemed quite satisfied?

Where's that arrogant, self-soothing aura you had after Modu left last night? Show it to me! Stand up straight! That's a double standard!

Sherlock looked at the harmonious relationship between the Ancient One and Luye in front of him and mentally complained that there was a reason why dogs and cats didn't get along.

Of course, Sherlock did not come away empty-handed; he even learned a secret that belonged only to the Sorcerer Supreme!

What surprised Sherlock the most was that, because of the rabbit's protective cover, the aura of the Heavenly Court on the rabbit's side could be considered Earth's last trump card and the spark to restart civilization.

To put it simply, when Kamar-Taj disappears, the West collapses completely, and the dome above the Rabbit shatters, Heaven will become Earth's most powerful and final trump card.

Once the Heavenly Court has defeated its enemies, the rabbit will serve as a spark for the continuation of human civilization, allowing the flame of civilization to shine brightly once again on Earth.

It was precisely because of this 'secret' passed down from generation to generation by the Sorcerer Supreme that the Ancient One respected Deer Field so much, and even helped Deer Field. In essence, the Ancient One was still fulfilling the responsibility of the Sorcerer Supreme to protect the Earth.

With the Ancient One's powerful eloquence and the Time Stone's blessing, Lu Ye quickly believed that Sherlock's words from the previous night were true, and even had no objection to the Ancient One's arrangement for them to go to Luxembourg three days later.

After all, the Heavenly Court does have knowledge of the laws of time, but seeing someone like Gu Yi who has mastered them as if they were following a script is truly unprecedented.

Even with his keen interest, Lu Ye made a small but significant request: he wanted to witness the magic of Kamar-Taj.

Gu Yi did not refuse and gave Lu Ye a temporary title as a combat instructor.
