Why are there only loser heroines around me?

The next morning.

Yanaijian felt her eyelids were heavy, and she struggled to open her eyes a crack, and the warm sunlight shone on him.

She stayed up late last night, but not on purpose. She had a little secret that she didn't tell everyone, and this little secret was the reason for her expression last night.

In fact, she had never read Sherlock Holmes, so she spent the whole night yesterday catching up on this world-class detective masterpiece. She started with the first volume of the Japanese version of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, marked with number (1).

She didn't know if it was her problem, but Yanami felt the story was a bit boring. However, she still took advantage of the opportunity to read it, because everyone in the small group had read the book. In the detective circle, "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" was like the Bible. Yanami asked about it in the Night Watchman channel last night, and many of her colleagues boasted that even if they suffered from Alzheimer's disease after they were 80 years old, they could still recite this book by heart!

Yanami finished reading one and a half volumes last night.

She likes a saying of Sherlock Holmes very much.

"With all due respect, this is obvious."

He often said this when everyone was at a loss about the situation at the crime scene, and he also always said this when Watson could not come to a conclusion about the case. There was a hint of sarcasm and the arrogance of a genius in reasoning, which was really pretentious.

Yanami likes this sentence even more than the timeless classic: "Eliminate the impossible, and whatever remains, no matter how incredible, is the truth."

A classic is a classic simply because it is impressive and makes sense at the same time.

But this classic quote can only be ranked second in her heart, because it is not pretentious enough, and it does not have many application scenarios in reality. When everyone is reasoning about the case, she usually has no right to interrupt.

Yanami glanced at the phone beside his pillow.

not good!

She didn't charge her phone last night!

The thought of going out with Youjing as an "assassin" today made her anxious. She quickly got up to find a charger, but she was stung by the cold air in Beijing's severe winter while naked. Her entire upper body was chilled, and at the same time, her brain became clear in an instant.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Yanai was so scared that he saw his phone slip out of his hand and the corner hit the floor.

"Yanagi, the agreed time has come. You have five minutes to wash up."

"Got it!" The naked Yanaijian ruffled her long blue hair that had been washed and blow-dried last night, then bent over and knelt in front of the suitcase on the floor, frantically searching for a clean bra.

"Uh-huh..."

"I remember I brought it..."

She picked up the phone that had just been plugged in and called Xiaoju -

"Master Xiaoju!"

"Help!"

...

“Hahaha~~, hahaha~~~~”

Ukyo didn't know why when he met Yana this morning, she had a very unnatural smile on her face.

Yana saw that she couldn't borrow any underwear from Komari, and Kotoko couldn't help her.

Both of them were "AA" size, and she couldn't even fasten the straps, but the good news was that Kotoko lent her nipple covers. In order to facilitate movement, she didn't wear thick clothes today. Everything was based on the principle of "not affecting" normal activities. She wore a stretch shapewear directly on the outside of the nipple covers, and a khaki long windbreaker on the outside. The thick boots were replaced with women's Martin boots, the kind that hurt when kicked.

Ukyo's outfit is also the type that is convenient for movement.

But before coming to Beijing, he had never thought that he would encounter so many emergencies, so he only brought two sets of clothes, one was the down jacket he was originally wearing, and the other was the peaked lapel suit he would need to wear when attending the Bugatti Auto Show and other grand occasions.

A peaked lapel suit is definitely more suitable for activities than a down jacket, so today he is wearing a peaked lapel like the one worn by the hot-blooded gangster.

"Arthur has gone there early." Ukyo never cared about his attire, so he got straight to the point. As for whether Yana was wearing a traditional bra or nipple covers today, he didn't care at all.

"To avoid arousing suspicion, it's best for us to act separately. There's no need to follow from a distance. It's safest to not be there from the beginning. If that guy is the murderer, I hope he'll talk more and talk to Arthur before we fight him. That way we'll have enough time."

Volume 139: Chapter 4 What a hot man! (5k)

Q: Where is Hamleys Toy Store?

Answer: Selling toys.

"Why it met Arthur at the toy store."

"Maybe he's still a kid at heart?"

Yanami asked questions in front, Ukyo answered in the back, and Komari took notes.

Yanami's questions were boring, and Ukyo's answers were perfunctory, but the highlight was that they asked and answered each other, and didn't let anything fall to the ground all the way. Only Xiaoju was taking notes very seriously. She was not taking notes with a pen on what the two said, but was recording the current situation and her own mood through the conversation. Fortunately, when she returned to the hotel later, she typed today's "4000 words" even more anxiously.

Of course, Xiaoju’s book and acquaintance are not updated synchronously.

She just recorded the content in case she forgot her current mood when she needed it in the future.

As a bystander of this scene, Kotoko Iwanaga has no idea what Yanami and Ukyo are feeling, nor does she understand Komari's feelings. Kotoko Iwanaga was born as the "predetermined champion" and has never experienced the pain of love, but she has experienced the jealousy of love. Jealousy and bitterness should feel similar, right?

So she walked up to Xiaoju, put her arm around her shoulder, and told her not to be discouraged, as she would always meet someone better.

Haha.

Xiaoju was thinking about how to respond to this sentence. She would rather hear "You still have a chance" from Qinzi's mouth rather than "You will meet someone better."

........

Arthur and the mysterious man in a suit successfully met in front of the Barbie doll exhibition area.

The display window to the side of the two people displays the 2011 limited edition Barbie doll, "Grace Kelly", but the one in the cabinet must be a pirated copy because it is only priced at 500 RMB.

Anyone familiar with this series knows that Grace Kelly is the noble and elegant "supermodel" among Barbie dolls, with a waist-to-body ratio that is almost perfect, and the white dress she wears is set to be made of galaxy-like gauze.

Arthur stroked his chin and looked inside the window. He had always had some strange thoughts about these dolls since he was a child, and he liked to strip the dolls' clothes or tear them into pieces. Some children in his junior high school class even did things to the dolls. Arthur found it funny when he thought about those guys. If he had silicone dolls when he was in school, wouldn't those bastards have gone crazy?

"May I ask why you chose this place to meet?"

The man in the suit put both his hands in his pockets. He didn't wear a suit today. Instead, he changed into a dark brown long windbreaker that was still not very suitable for winter. He wore a men's shawl that was slightly lighter in color than the windbreaker on his upper body.

"It's just to make you feel a little safer," he said. "You and your friends must have had a discussion. If I'm not mistaken, the result of this discussion must be very unfavorable to me. You may think I'm a bad person... This is because you were assassinated three days ago, Mr. Arthur, but I was not the one who assassinated you. In fact, our goals are the same, and I am also looking for him."

As he was speaking, the lights in the toy town suddenly went out. Everyone raised their heads at the same time and looked at the lights above their heads in surprise. A few seconds later, the lights came back on. The vision went from bright to dark, and then from dark to bright, which made Arthur's eyes feel a little uncomfortable.

A voice that sounded like AI synthesis came from the mall's radio, reminding people who were shopping that it was just a normal power outage and there was no need to panic. Arthur looked around and found that the scenery had indeed not changed.

It's just a power outage, no need to make a fuss. He might be a little too sensitive.

Arthur felt that the time had come. Perhaps he should have asked this question the first time he met this man. If he had not been attracted by "Grace Kelly", he would not have had to wait until now.

"who are you?"

He was suddenly stunned when a man and a woman, their "partners" in city patrol uniforms, appeared in his field of vision. The pattern on the cuffs of their jackets was a falcon about to spread its wings and soar. This was the symbol of the members of the Beijing City Monster Hunting Team. When they appeared in groups of two in a certain place, it usually meant that a supernatural disaster had occurred, was about to occur, or had already occurred.

Arthur vaguely felt that the previous break might not be a coincidence. His ears moved like a rabbit, and the conversation between the two people came into his ears.

"Shuheng, did the detector respond?" The girl looked up at the headlights above her head. Obviously, she also felt that the power outage just now was unusual.

The boy shook his head. "The talisman paper moved three or five times. There were a few targets carrying low-level energy. They might be psychic detectives who stumbled into the mall, or exorcists who were born with psychic powers or other high-level energies but haven't awakened yet. There are no dangerous targets above D-level. Maybe we should move to another location."

Arthur and the man in the suit were listening to the conversation between the two men.

Their brows furrowed tightly at the same time.

No targets above D level?

What do you mean?

Are you mocking them for not being strong enough? Is the rank system used by Beijing exorcists aligned with the world's? Is the equipment functional? I, Old Arthur, am ranked 25th among world exorcists! How presumptuous! Who are you calling less than a D rank?

The girl snatched the pufferfish, which was filled with spiritual power, from the boy's hand. There was an inscription on yellow paper stuck on the pufferfish's head, and it emitted a faint scent from beginning to end.

This is a common supernatural policy device used by the demon hunting team. The abnormality level is divided according to the bright light of the yellow paper on the pufferfish's head. The current brightness means that there are E~D level ability fluctuations near them.

"Now the talisman paper is not moving, but the spiritual light has not dissipated. What's going on?"

The boy flicked her forehead lovingly and said with a smile, "It's winter vacation now, and there are a lot of people in the toy store. There may be energy beings passing by us all the time, so the talisman paper is always lit."

"It's also possible that we're in the middle of something big right now."

The boy's voice was very gentle: "But this is impossible. The spiritual array in Beijing was jointly set up by several old masters. No one can build other realms under their noses, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless the supernatural event has its own domain! Idiot~, remember the Demonic Train incident in Avalon? Back then, the only hospital on the island was completely covered by an S-class Demonic Domain."

Arthur's heart moved, and he remembered the time when he was hungry on the Capricorn train. That was the first time he met Ukyo. Now, it was more than half a year ago.

Before the Devil Train appeared, he was fighting the Jersey Devil in an abandoned mine in California. Suddenly, a train rushed out from the depths of the tunnel and killed Jersey. He vaguely remembered that before the Devil Train killed the Jersey Devil, the headlight on his helmet suddenly flashed, followed by a series of flickering lights. After repeating this about three times, he drove to the left of his field of vision and suddenly a thick fog appeared. The shrill train whistle sounded, and he was stuck just as the Jersey Devil was flying towards him...

"I say..." Arthur looked at the man in the windbreaker opposite him, "Did you do anything?"

The other person's expression was very innocent. He spread his hands, shrugged, and shook his head. The series of small movements were actually a bit playful and cute. "I didn't do anything, but I can answer your last question about who I am..."

........

...

Ukyo was the first of the four to enter Hamleys Toy Store.

Before entering the store, he took a closer look at the one-to-one Bumblebee sculpture at the door of the store. He felt that the sculpture had too much damage, as if it had been placed at the door for more than ten years. But then he thought, the sculpture was from the Bumblebee independent story released a few years ago, and its image in the movie was already very old, so it was nothing unusual for it to have some "battle damage" on its body.

In winter, the door of the Mres Toy Store is covered with a thick cotton curtain. The central air-conditioning is on inside, and the heating temperature is very high. The difference between cold and hot should be like two different worlds.

But after Ukyo pushed the door open, his first feeling was that he seemed to have come from an ice cellar to another yandere place. The lights above his head were flashing wildly as if they were overclocked. Even though he had received higher education since he was a child, he couldn't help but want to curse at this moment. He wanted to turn around and remind Yanami and Kotoko not to come in, but when he turned around, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.

Ukyo stood there in a daze.

Where does the sound of horse hooves come from in Wangfujing?

The tall buildings that should have lined both sides of the street have disappeared, replaced by two rows of towering Victorian buildings, a combination of red brick and limestone, with intricately carved balconies and intricate roof lines...

Gas street lamps lined the cobblestone sidewalk, casting a dim and warm light on the wet stone road.

Seeing this scene, You Jing frowned. He had only lifted the door curtain, so what was he doing all of a sudden? Was this still Wangfujing Street?

Horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws shuttled along the wet dirt road. Visibility in the air was very low, and the thick fog was filled with the smell of cheap tar. The sound of horse hooves and the squeaking of rolling wheels intertwined into an ancient symphony that did not belong to the 21st century.

A classic black Daimler four-wheeled car roared past him, something that belonged in a museum.

Yana noticed that the expressions of the others were similar to Ukyo's. Although they didn't push the door open, the scene before them had changed.

No.

It shouldn't be described like that.

It was not that the scenery in front of their eyes had changed, but that they seemed to have come to an unfamiliar place at some point. The few passers-by beside them in modern clothes were out of place with the ladies in gorgeous long dresses and exquisite hats, and everyone had a panic expression on their faces.

Ukyo's outfit, however, blended in perfectly. His attire was no different from the usual gentlemen in sharp suits and canes. Besides that, you could also spot workers wearing felt hats and simple clothing on the streets.

Ukyo had his back to the toy store, so he couldn't see that he was no longer in Hamleys.

But Yanai saw that they were facing the toy store. They could clearly see that the three-dimensional text above the shopping mall building changed from "Hamleys" to "Selfridges".

Yanami's spelling is a bit clumsy, but Kotoko's pronunciation is very standard.

Kotoko Iwanaga felt that the name Selfridges was very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it.

"So it's England." Ukyo said when he heard the three girls and Sakuragawa Kuro spelling the word in confusion.

Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, he had to explain further: "Selfridges, located on Oxford Street, was once London's most famous department store. It housed nearly every popular brand at the time and was the shopping destination of choice for the British middle class."

"Remember the Demonic Train incident? Yanami, I'm afraid we've stumbled into some massive fictional world again."

Ukyo looked around at the passersby with innocent looks on their faces.

Obviously, this is a large-scale supernatural event. It is incomprehensible that everyone in the department store has fallen into this fictional world.

But the situation this time is better than last time. At least London is a normal place, unlike other demonic realms where low-level demons run all over the streets.

Ukyo took a quick look and found that everyone on the street seemed normal.

........

...

at the same time.

Interior of a department store.

Arthur stared at the man in the windbreaker in front of him.

The Barbie doll display cases around him were gone, replaced by exquisite perfumes stored in glass cases.
