The villain is trapped in the system and begs me to let him out [Moriarty who worries about the coun

"Are you alright, classmate Xiaoying?" William's voice came from outside the bedroom door.

"Right away!" Inside the room, Du Ruoying replied hastily.

After a while, the door creaked open, revealing her dressed up appearance.She was wearing a light pink cage dress with delicate folds and lace, pearly white gloves on her hands, red lips, flying eyes, her hair was tied up high with a hairnet and hairpins, revealing Smooth and seductive neck.

William was almost stunned for a moment: "Why do you want to dress like this all of a sudden?"

Du Ruoying held the side of her skirt with both hands, and walked out slowly with the support of Qian Banni: "Do as the Romans do, otherwise, it would be too strange to walk on the street in a down jacket."

"That's true, but aren't you not used to it? It's much bulkier than the clothes of your era."

"It's okay," she turned around briskly, "Thanks to Miss Qian Benni for helping me make it very well."

Sherlock glanced at Du Ruoying up and down, and smiled knowingly: "Now that it's packed, let's get in the carriage." As he spoke, he suddenly noticed that William was observing him.

Sherlock immediately raised his eyebrows: "What? You don't want to take me?"

"Nothing, I just thought, Xia Li, you wouldn't be interested in shopping." William half-closed his eyes.

"I'm really not interested in shopping," Sherlock replied bluntly, "but I'm quite interested in watching the excitement."

On the carriage, the three of them sat facing each other silently, only Li Mo looked out the window with a curious face.

"Student Xiaoying is very quiet today." William was the first to break the silence.

"yes……"

"Yeah," the red eyes pointed sharply at her hand gently holding the side of the skirt, "and very nervous."

Du Ruoying smiled guiltyly and did not argue.

"The carriage has already entered Limehouse." William raised his elbow and put it lightly on one side, looking at her calmly, as if sizing up a caught prey, "Listen, the people outside the window are talking about you Isn't your language very kind?"

She nodded obediently.

"How about a translation for us?"

Du Ruoying suddenly showed a distressed expression.

"It's very simple, I'll translate it for you!" Li Mo scrambled to straighten up, he listened for a while complacently, and then showed embarrassment, "NND, this... how do you say it in English?"

Sherlock laughed loudly.

"It seems that classmate Xiaoying should come." William made a gesture of invitation to her, but noticed that she flinched quietly.He leaned forward and grabbed the opponent's hands, and he really felt a palm-sized rectangular hard object hidden under the skirt.

Undoubtedly, it was a mobile phone.

"So that's the case, you've been using the pre-prepared recordings to deal with me, haven't you?" William looked into Du Ruoying's eyes, maintaining a gentle smile, but inexplicably made people shudder, "It's been long enough, it should be almost Come on, Fred."

"I'm sorry, Lord William," "Du Ruoying" in front of her suddenly lowered her voice, sounding like a teenager. She raised her hand and took off her long hair and mask, revealing Fred's face, "Miss Du Ruoying, she let me Help hold you back, so I..."

"No need to apologize, I made you comply with all her demands, and you did nothing wrong," William said, "But you must tell me the truth, where did she go?"

"She followed Herder."

"Sure enough," William sighed helplessly, and then urged the carriage to speed up and head straight for Herder.

At this time, Herder was staying at the port of Limehouse, blowing the sea breeze alone, and beside him was a pile of neatly stacked boxes, which were half the height of a person.

Everyone looked around and found that Du Ruoying was not here.

"I knew she was following me a long time ago, but she only followed me halfway, and then I lost it." Herder happily explained, "Mr. William, am I very witty?"

Sherlock shot him a sympathetic look.

Of course, William was not in the mood to praise Held. He looked solemn and fell into thought: "Limehouse is full of opium dens and brothels, and the law and order are very chaotic. I am a little worried about her acting alone. May I trouble everyone to help find her separately?"

"No problem." Herder replied.

"Herder, you should continue to stay here and guard, maybe she can find her later. Others please follow me." William said.

On the other side, Du Ruoying was walking quickly along a car mark when she heard movement from the alley beside her.

"Don't...don't kill me...please!" The man spoke in Chinese, "I will never... never again..."

She probed inside and saw that the one begging for mercy was a dirty boy. His thin and torn clothes half covered his scrawny body, his dry lips were trembling violently, and his blood had turned pale from the cold and fear. .

Two tall and burly men stood in front of her with their backs to her, holding thick wooden sticks in their hands, looking very unfriendly.The two looked at each other.

"What is he saying?"

"Can't understand."

"I said... I'll give it back to you, I don't want this...don't kill me! Huh... I was wrong, I'm sorry..." The boy let go of his hands and pushed a black hard object to the two of them. before.

Through the moonlight, she saw a glaring burn on the palm of his hand. The shape of the wound roughly matched the object he was holding, and it looked brand new.She immediately understood that he probably stole charcoal from someone else.

The action of the young man returning the charcoal did not ease the tension, but inflamed the two people in front of him even more. They raised their long sticks and beat him with random sticks, cursing while beating:

"Bitch! How dare you steal something from the museum! I'll kill you!"

"It's just a subjugation of the country, and it's not illegal to kill it! Just use it as a sandbag and train me for strength!"

The wooden stick hit the fragile body, making muffled noises, and the blood splashed wantonly under the moonlight, exuding a ferocious and violent aura, which frightened Du Ruoying so much that she dared not move at all.The instinct of fear told her that she should run away immediately and stop meddling.

But, no matter what, the boy in front of him will die...

"Stop!" She didn't know where she got the courage, so she just rushed out.

The two foreigners turned around and found that it was another Oriental, and immediately laughed maliciously.

"Another bastard."

"It's weird what you're wearing."

"Toyo is really rich in freaks."

"It also produces thieves and sick men."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"What did he steal? I'll pay you back." Du Ruoying fumbled for a gold coin from her body, which she secretly asked Louis to borrow before going out, in case of emergency.

The two men were stunned for a moment when they saw the gold coin, one of them stepped forward, snatched it away, and then bit it with his teeth: "Damn it, it's real."

"How about it, is it a deal?" she asked.

"Deal—" The man looked down at her with a gloomy face, as if he was looking at a bedbug. He slowly squeezed the gold coin into his palm, clenched it into a fist, and swung it at her suddenly, "Damn it!"

Sure enough, it didn't go so smoothly!

She had already been alert in her heart, and she just dodged it with a dodge.Thanks to the daily training William gave her, she is now able to avoid this level of attack with ease.

These guys are much slower than William...

"Your government is so poor that you can't even squeeze out a drop of gold. How can you, a beggar, have gold coins? You must have stolen it!" The other party suddenly and unreasonably accused her.

Another person also echoed: "Yes, you are thieves just like him, you are accomplices! Do you think you are making a deal with us? Wrong, you are returning the property to the original owner."

"You took the money but refused to let him go, and beat him back, why don't you just steal it?" She was very angry, "What kind of a country of gentlemen, I think you are clearly a country of robbers!"

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth!" The other party didn't argue, just threw the wooden stick down, unexpectedly it missed.

It seemed that it was no longer possible to communicate with these two hysterical guys. Du Ruoying pulled the little boy up decisively, and ran out. She deftly dodged their encirclement, and soon ran to the street.

"That stinky bitch is all white and clean, and she can speak English well. Maybe it's a dog picked up by some adult. There must be more than that gold coin on her. We can't let her run away like this!"

"Yes, we can't let them go! After we catch her and rob her of the money, we can throw her into a brothel and sell her for a good fortune!" Another person said, hitting a full Alcoholic hiccup, "As for that brat who stole charcoal, it's not illegal to torture and kill Chinese people anyway, hahaha, I'm going to break his hand, twist off his foot, and peel off his—skin!!!"

On the empty street, the two men were so excited that they chased them like hungry wolves.The seriously injured boy was already exhausted, and Du Ruoying was also not much better.To make matters worse, even if she finally met a policeman or a passer-by, she hoped for help from them, but she always met cold and indifferent eyes, and some people even showed expressions of watching a show.Occasionally, one or two compatriots from flower growers were found, but the other party just avoided in a hurry, unwilling to get burned.

Time and time again, keep getting rejected.Finally, she realized that no one would save them, and the surrounding residents even locked their doors even tighter.Listening to the sound of iron bolts coming from behind those wooden doors, her heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cave.A chill of despair filled the night mist, completely surrounding her.

Can't count on them, can't count on anyone...

In such an era, in such a foreign country, she is destined to be alone and helpless, just like her motherland that is being beaten at this moment.

The only one you can rely on is yourself!

She couldn't run aimlessly like this anymore, or she would fall into the hands of those two violent lunatics sooner or later. After thinking about this, she plunged into a shop with the door wide open.

The shop was filled with smoke, people were buzzing, and the sound of dice shaking could be heard everywhere.The crowd forced them to slow down and struggle.At the same time, the two crazy pursuers also broke into the door.

Du Ruoying led the boy into a gambling table.

"My name is Du Ruoying, what's your name?"

"Gou Sheng, thank you for saving me."

"You're welcome, dog...cough cough...Little Leftover, listen well, my plan is this—this building has six floors, which is considered a tall building in Limehouse. Standing on the roof, you can overlook To a larger area. How about you go to the roof with me? I need to find my friend."

"No problem." The other party wiped off the sweat and mud on his face, revealing a handsome face. He looks only two or three years younger than Li Mo, but the fate he experienced is very different, "What is your friend like?" ? Are you separated?"

"Yes, we got separated. They came here in a carriage with the family emblem of the Moriarty family printed on it, so it should be easy to find."

"Moriarty?!"

"You know? That would be easier."

"But I heard that they are the most terrifying and vicious Westerners in the entire London area. They even kill their own compatriots." Gou Sheng's face turned blue.

"Don't be afraid, they're not that bad—" As soon as Du Ruoying said the words, she suddenly felt amused.What's the matter, to say that William isn't that bad?Must be out of my mind...

However, in the current situation, it is wisest to find William for help as soon as possible.Regardless of whether William is a bad person or not, even if it's just to revive the system, he will definitely help her, and will never sit idly by like everyone else.

After resting under the table for a while, the two set off immediately, passing through the spiral staircase in the center of the hall, they bypassed the sight of many waiters, and quietly went up to the second floor.

The second floor is also a casino, but it is much quieter and mainly plays poker.

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you down." Gou Sheng said guiltily, "I know that stealing is wrong, but the winter here is too cold, my mother fell ill in bed from the cold, and her condition is getting worse and worse. Steal a piece of charcoal and go back to warm her, maybe it will make her better."

"Where's your father?"

"He—" A trace of resentment flashed in Gou Sheng's eyes, "He's dead!"

"What..." She was about to ask carefully, but she suddenly stopped and made a silent gesture to him, so as not to be discovered by the approaching waiter.

After the waiter walked away, Gou Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Come with me, I know a way."

He took her along a logistics route, through the kitchen, through the pantry, through the sink, and the two followed a vertical steel ladder for equipment maintenance to the third floor.The third floor is an opium den, where people are lying in chairs in disarray, puffing and puffing, with expressions of extreme enjoyment, as if in a fairyland.On the side, the charcoal fire in the fireplace was blazing, coating the corrupt and decadent scene with a charming orange halo.

The flickering fire suddenly reminded Du Ruoying, and she gradually felt a bad premonition: "You can't... steal charcoal from here, right?"

"You're right." He smiled bitterly, "Actually, I don't think I owe them anything. Two years ago, we came here with my father to earn a living, and my father worked at the dock, so he could earn a little. money. But how could these bandits endure being made money by us? They started giving opium to the dockworkers, saying that it would relieve fatigue at work and be a reward for their hard work. My father fell for it.”

Du Ruoying's heart sank.

"The most expensive things in this world are those that claim to be free," Gou Sheng said with hatred in his eyes, "Father became addicted, and then he never went to work, and stayed here all day long, pursuing his so-called fairy life , soon, our family was emptied of all our assets and incurred huge debts. People from opium dens would come to the house to search every day, including clothes, bedding, pots and pans, everything that could be taken away. We are not even allowed to keep a single piece of firewood to pay off the debt, we really can't hold on..."

He clenched his fists angrily, "Those Westerners, they took everything from us, sold and killed us wantonly, but they didn't break the law, but I, I just took a small piece of charcoal from them, which is a capital crime!"

The two walked while talking, and passed the door of the kitchen. Next to it, a small stove was buzzing with water. Du Ruoying kicked it to the ground. At the edge of the firewood pile, the ground burned immediately.

Gou Sheng was astonished.

"What are you looking at? It poured itself." She said indifferently, "This is called retribution, and it has nothing to do with us."

"Create a little chaos first, maybe it will help you escape later." She thought to herself.

Then, the two came to the fourth floor.

The fourth floor is a box, and there are no people smoking opium, but the unpleasant smell has not decreased but increased.Walking in the narrow corridor, Du Ruoying's hand accidentally opened a half-hidden door. Inside lay a thin middle-aged man who was as thin as a skeleton. With a smile, he waved to them: "Gou Sheng, good son, come here—"

Before she could react, there was a loud bang, and Gou Sheng closed the door hard.

"Go to hell..." she heard him whisper angrily.

After closing the door angrily, he suddenly realized that his impulsiveness had caused a lot of commotion.This sound undoubtedly alarmed all the waiters. Across the atrium, there were several shouts from downstairs:

"It's the one who stole the charcoal!"

"He's there!"

"When did you sneak in again?"

"Hurry up! Stop them!"

The two trackers also noticed them and roared: "That bitch next to him stole a lot of gold coins from us! Gold coins!"

The effect of this sentence is undoubtedly outstanding. Hearing the word "gold coin", everyone turned their eyes to Du Ruoying like crazy. The crowd was about to move, revealing a strong bloodthirsty desire.

An unprecedented and terrifying siege and interception began like this. People poured out from upstairs, downstairs, and the box on the fourth floor, cutting off all their escape routes.She looked left and right, desperately trying to find a way out, but she could only see two words——

Finished!

Gou Sheng was one step ahead of her to react. He kicked open the door that disgusted him again, pulled Du Ruoying and ran in, and then locked the door behind him: "Climb out the window! Hurry up!"

In the room, the half-dead middle-aged man was still calling Gou Sheng's name dreamily. Obviously, he was the dead father that Gou Sheng was talking about.

Du Ruoying bypassed the man, and quickly climbed up the window sill, but doubts arose in her heart: "No, didn't you say that your father is dead...you are in debt, why does he still have money left to smoke opium in the box? "

"Because he sold my sister." Gou Sheng replied coldly, "He really... might as well die."

Du Ruoying was shocked.

Gou Sheng poked his head out of the window, stretched out his hand and pointed upwards, "The fifth and sixth floors here are brothels, climb up that pipe, yes, that's the window, my sister is in that room Here. Let's go and hide there first."

This pipeline is very wide, with many joints, and it is not difficult to climb. Du Ruoying followed Gou Sheng's instructions and climbed up in a short while.

"Xiao Yu, is this the window?"

No one answered.

She looked back suspiciously, and found that Gou Sheng was only half exposed behind him, he struggled twice, and was quickly dragged back.

The middle-aged man grabbed one of his feet, clasped his ankle tightly, and stroked it with an obsessed expression: "Asheng, don't go...it's my father's fault, stay with my father, please... I miss you so much, I miss you every day..."

The pleading tone was like an invisible rope, holding on to a soft place in his heart, almost taking away all his strength to escape.But he quickly made up his mind and started kicking the opponent desperately.

"Get out! Get out!!"

After finally kicking one of the opponent's hands away, the other hand was immediately entangled, and it was endless.At the same time, outside the door, everyone had already blocked the corridor. They kicked a few times with all their strength, and quickly broke the fragile door lock.

Can't escape...

Realizing that Gou Sheng's situation is not good, Du Ruoying immediately turned back, drilled back into the original room, and saw the crowd breaking in, they were crowded, pushing, trying to move forward, stretching out their hands and showing greedy eyes: "Gold coins! My gold! It's mine!"

Du Ruoying and Gou Sheng were forced to retreat, she snatched the cigarette stick from the middle-aged man's hand, sprinkled the hot ash on them, and then slammed the end of the cigarette holder into the nearest one. into the waiter's eyes.But this was not enough to scare the crowd away, they quickly surrounded Du Ruoying and Gou Sheng again, and pinned them to the ground.

With her ears pressed against the floor, she clearly heard the movement downstairs.

"It's not good, the kitchen is on fire! Come here!"

"Extinguish the fire! Water! Give me water! Cough cough..."

"Who? Who did it?!"

"It must be those two bastards who died just now!"

"Fuck! I'm going to beat them to death!"

This is the end...

"Will!" In desperation, she could only shout out the last sliver of hope, "If you don't show up again, I will—"

"What about you?" A familiar voice sounded beside her ear, accompanied by a gentle heat falling on the tip of her ear.

She turned her head hard, and when she saw his face, she immediately felt extremely unbelievable: "Will?!"

"Say, how about you?" William asked with a smile.

"I... I'm going to doubt your IQ!"

"Pfft, hahaha!" William couldn't help laughing, "I came here after going through all kinds of hardships to prove my IQ to you. Doesn't this sound more suspicious of my IQ?"

"Who is this man?" The crowd sensed William's strangeness, "No, it's an accomplice!" They swung their sticks and were about to beat him, but a silver-white arc flashed, and most of the crowd fell down immediately.

"How did you find this place?" Du Ruoying was curious.

"Didn't you ask the policeman for help?" William replied calmly while responding to the attacks of the crowd with a stick and sword, "Your clothes are so special, people who have seen you are very impressed with you. I asked you through them In the general direction, you found that all the places you passed were closed doors, which made your route more obvious. Finally, you set a fire on the third floor, and there was so much thick smoke coming out of the window, I just don't know where you are, it's hard."

"I didn't set the fire." Du Ruoying quickly denied.

Just like Lin Zexu would not feel guilty for destroying cigarettes in Humen, she would not feel guilty for destroying an opium den that poisoned the people of Huahua family.But after all, she didn't want to be honest, especially in front of William.

"Well, if you say no, then it's not." William didn't mean to expose her.

But Du Ruoying was still a little guilty: "By the way, is Sherlock here?"

"No, everyone is looking for you separately, he went in another direction. So you don't have to worry."

"That's good." She breathed a sigh of relief.After all, what he thinks is one thing, what Sherlock thinks is another.

"In addition, Fred has secretly evacuated innocent ordinary people. As for those who are not innocent, they have basically turned into corpses. Moreover, the wind direction is very good tonight, and the fire will soon engulf the building. No trace will be left—all as you wish."

"Don't always say I'm so sophisticated, okay? Things are really not what you think!" Du Ruoying argued aggrievedly, "I just thought you asked Herder to do something bad, so I secretly followed him all the way here. Unexpectedly, he also came to Limehouse, and I realized that the pile of so-called new inventions he brought might not be weapons, but fireworks. So I gave up following and turned around to meet you— —After all, according to my estimation, you must have exposed Fred at that time, and I don't want him to be reprimanded by you for helping me..."

"As a result, you not only got yourself lost, but also caused you to be hunted down by meddling, didn't you?" William unceremoniously told her all the embarrassing things that happened next.

"Hmph, I call it bravery..." Du Ruoying whispered dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, classmate Xiaoying, who is brave enough to see justice," William calmly wiped off the blood on the cane and sword, and inserted it back into the sheath, with a sea of ​​corpses and blood behind him, "I have to say, you are really manipulative The talent of the human heart, seeing me slaughtering my compatriots here for you, but not having to bleed myself, isn't this feeling very good?"

"Why do you always rely on me? You could have just stunned them instead of killing them. With your ability, this is not difficult to do, right?"

"You could have prevented me from killing them too, but you didn't."

"I... It's not because you are too fast!"

"In short, things have developed to this point according to your expectations. You are self-willed enough. Is it time to come with me?" Lift up on the ground.

"Then... what should he do?" She pointed at Gou Sheng.

"That's something he has to ask himself." William spread his hands, "He can choose to leave his useless father in the fire to avoid future troubles forever, or he can choose to ask us to help send his father home and start a new life." rounds of torture and betrayal."

Gou Sheng fell silent.

Du Ruoying saw his struggle, so she said to him, "Drug addiction can be quit, as long as scientific and reasonable methods are used. If you want, I can teach you."

"Today is Chinese New Year," Gou Sheng raised his head slowly, "I... want to take him home."

With the help of William's carriage and the supplies from the mansion, Gou Sheng finally settled down with his parents. When he sent William and the others out, he still felt like he was dreaming—the charcoal fire was rekindled at home, and his mother had a warm The quilt, my sister escaped by taking advantage of the chaos of the fire, and my father also had the hope of getting better.

"Thank you..." He knew that these two words were too light, but he couldn't say any more.

Looking into the boy's dark eyes, William smiled sincerely, "This is the crime committed by our country. You gave me a chance to make amends and atone for my crime. I should thank you."

"Your house is very close to the port." Du Ruoying grabbed Gou Sheng and pointed out the window. From a distance, you could see Herder's back blowing the sea breeze alone. "Would you like to set off fireworks with us? It's there. "

Gou Sheng's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

Everyone came to the empty seaside. At that time, there were less than ten seconds left before the early morning of the New Year's Eve. William took out his pocket watch to check the time, and then signaled Herder to start.

Bunches of golden bands of light rush straight up to the sky, blooming wantonly under the vast night sky. Sometimes a cherry pink ring lights up in the sky, sometimes a sea blue rhombus flashes, sometimes a fluorescent green fan, and sometimes A vermilion cross star appeared, piercing a heart-shaped halo, and thousands of glowing silk ribbons hung down from the golden waterfall rain, like an unprecedented meteor shower covering the sky.

Amidst the rumble of fireworks, the new year came peacefully.

The gorgeous fireworks attracted more and more people to watch, but no one noticed that an annex building in the distance was also ablaze at this time—no, maybe some people noticed it, but they deliberately pretended not to see it .

In Gou Sheng's room, the light from the fireworks illuminated the profile of the middle-aged man, he hesitated, and slowly took the hand of the woman beside him, "Ah Xiu."

"Hey." The woman replied softly.

Tears welled up in the corners of the man's eyes, "I can't see clearly anymore, please help me see, are we... are we going home? Otherwise, why would there be fireworks?"

"Yeah, we're home, the four of us are all home."

Finally, the last ray of fireworks burned out its light, Du Ruoying looked away, and suddenly felt something soft falling on her head and face, bit by bit, continuously.

She looked up, and it was snowing in the sky. She reached out to catch it, but found that it was not cold snowflakes, but petals, rose petals, they had a spring-like fragrance, endless like snow Falling from the heights of the night sky.

"What a strange firework." She smiled and wiped the corners of her eyes.

But thank you, thank you...
