[Comprehensive Yingmei] Really nothing happened

No matter in what era, rigid people are not a minority, on the contrary, they often occupy a rather alarming proportion.

Even in modern times, many people refuse to believe in the possibility of alien life.

And people with such characteristics can obviously be called "short-sighted".

Therefore, we can imagine that in the [-]th century, they would never allow such an organization that these people see as useless to obtain a large amount of resources.

—Because that will reduce the benefits they get.

Of course, in the long run, the existence of the Torchwood Group is the first line of defense to protect all mankind from aliens, and it is the ultimate protection of people's interests.

Life is gone, even if there is more wealth, how can there be a chance to enjoy it?

Of course, as I said before, those people are "short-sighted" people, their eyes can only see things that are one step away, so how can they think so much?Even if they think about it, they will probably think that "the sky is falling and there is a tall man on top of it", and then hide in a safe place without shame, maybe kicking those who run faster than them on the way fan...

From ancient times to the present, such characters have always existed, and...there are quite a few of them.

Not to mention anything else, such annoying characters basically exist in various film and television dramas.When a crisis comes, human nature will be exposed to the maximum, and various ugly behaviors will also be displayed.

Undeniably, this is human nature, unavoidable human nature.

……

"Let's not talk about that. Since you have been invited here and it's noon, let's have a meal." Professor Moriarty said, walking towards a door on the other side of the study, "Although It's not very etiquette to discuss things at the dinner table, but you'll probably like it that way."

Yemengard didn't respond, but followed Professor Moriarty's footsteps.

……

Eating in the study is not a good habit, it is not conducive to digestion and may stain the books.And books have been a symbol of wealth for a long time.

In the past, human beings used various carriers to record their history.Tortoise shells, bamboo slips, wood chips, clay tablets, parchment...

Although the types are not the same, they do have their own shortcomings, so I won't go into details here.

However, it is precisely because of their existence that human beings can walk down the road of civilization step by step.

It was not until the emergence of papermaking and printing that these problems were partially resolved.But at the beginning of their existence, books were still a luxury that only the rich could afford.

Not to mention the European side, it's almost the same here.Presumably everyone knows that in ancient times, reading was a costly and not necessarily rewarding thing.But even so, he chose this path with countless people.

There is a saying that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", which means that after reading and succeeding, it is an investment that cannot be compared with the return. verse.

Okay, we're getting a little farther.However, what I want to say is... Books must be cherished.

……

Speaking of lunch, everyone must feel hungry.

Haha, this is a normal phenomenon. After all, as a member of the big foodie country, we are very particular about "eating".

However, if you add a "British" prefix in front, it is not very exciting.After all... The dark cuisine of the Rotten Kingdom enjoys a "reputation" all over the world.

How terrible is this reputation?Let's put it this way, in the SCP Foundation's doomsday classification, there is such a UK-level doomsday, and the explanation given to it is: the British ruled the world, and then forced all human beings to eat only British cuisine.

How about it, isn't it scary?Thinking about that kind of day, I feel... no, I can’t think about it anymore, I’m going to have a nightmare.

For British cuisine... To be more specific, the impression in everyone's mind is probably only looking up at the starry sky.But... we also know that one-sided views are not okay - even when it comes to British cuisine.

Let's put it this way, I think everyone must have read "Harry Potter". The food provided by Hogwarts described in it, according to the author's description, seems...to be delicious.Of course, I didn't try it myself, and the instructions here are for reference only.

……

"Although I said I was treating you to a meal, I'm sorry, but the prepared food is really not rich. To express my apology, I have prepared wine worthy of your status. Please don't mind it." Professor Moriarty said.

...Very well, it perfectly avoided this slot.

Ye Mengjiade nodded dispensably, and followed the other party out.

……

The size of the dining room is very large, and it almost occupies its entire wing from the structure of the house. There is a long dining table in the middle of the dining room, which is so long that it needs to shout when communicating from one end to the other.The lights are on here, obviously the other party thinks that the previous shaming of power is enough.

...What, you said that you didn't see that it was a blow to the horse?Hmm... That's probably because Ye Mengjiad didn't feel scared or flustered at all. In the same scene, it might have been replaced by someone else.

Although it is said that the lamp is lit, only one single lamp is lit. When entering the restaurant, there is still an illusion that you are about to be swallowed by the ubiquitous shadows.

I don't know if this place is also arranged like this on weekdays, or if it was specifically requested by Professor Moriarty today.But Ye Mengjiad didn't know the reason and wasn't interested.

At one end of the restaurant is a small podium. It seems that if this place is used to entertain guests, the host will give a speech on it; at the other end is a huge fireplace, and the flames are now burning.However, due to the size of the restaurant, it is still impossible to feel the slightest warmth at the other end farthest from the fireplace.

There are a few simple meals on the long table, all of which are cold meals. They are not very good, but there is nothing wrong with them.

Yemengard went to the dining table and sat down. , Started to eat and eat expressionlessly.

……

"You are really a very rational person." Halfway through the meal, Professor Moriarty suddenly praised.

"What do you mean?" Yemengard asked casually—although she was not really curious about the answer.

"If other people were 'invited' to come here in this way, things would definitely not go as smoothly as they do now, and they would definitely make some useless... resistance and temptation." Mo Professor Riati said, "But you obviously quickly analyzed your situation and made the most reasonable choice."

... No, in fact, that is because they let you.If the boss really loses his temper, see if you can hold it.

"Oh." Yemengjia replied indifferently.

It seems that Professor Moriarty has never seen her so impervious to splashing water and impenetrable with needles, but this person is extremely deep, and she didn't show it, and she didn't show any embarrassment at all.

"I have to say that your analytical ability is also very amazing. By the way... I wonder if you have heard of a detective named Sherlock Holmes?" He asked.

Yemengard cut off a piece of bread, "I know something." She replied succinctly.

"Ah, since the answer is like this, you must have read Dr. Watson's article published in the magazine." Professor Moriarty showed a clear look.

"...The deductive method is very useful." Yemengade commented objectively.

"I think so too. However, just like that Dr. Watson, even if the other party dissects his own reasoning process, it is still very difficult to imitate." He took out a magazine (I don't know where he got it from) out) and spread it out on the table, "I personally like "The Case of the Copper Beech", and I have read it many times, how about you?"

Although Ye Mengjiade has read a lot, but she has not understood the background information, and has not done textual research, so she can't figure out the sequence of these articles.If you say that the setting happened after the death of Professor Moriarty... then you will die of laughter.

"..."The Case of the Speckled Tape" is very interesting." After pondering for a while, Ye Mengjiad said so.

"The Case of the Spotted Tape?" Professor Moriarty nodded, "This one is indeed very good."

In fact, "Studies in Scarlet Letters" or "Four Signatures" are of course the safest, but they are indeed a bit long, and they were published very early. It is obvious that she has read them all within a short time of coming here. very small.It's not that she can't talk nonsense, but how can a rigorous researcher do such a thing?

"Then you should also know that Holmes was arrested and imprisoned for murdering a young girl?" Professor Moriarty continued to ask.

"I've seen the news in the newspaper." Ye Mengjia replied calmly.

"I haven't actually met him, but from what we know, he can't do such a thing anyway. And I... also know who the culprit is... and why he did such a thing Of course, I will not expose that person."

"Why?" Yemengard threw out a word calmly.In fact, if she wanted to, she could have a complete insight into all the thoughts and confusions of people's hearts, but... she didn't choose to do so.

"Because I'm a criminal." Professor Moriarty said this, sounding very proud of his "profession". "And a criminal . . . would never commit such a heroic act."
