009

A trip to Whitechapel.

John Watson, a man whose face was half the size of Sherlock's.

Libella thought that when Watson wasn't standing next to Sherlock, he looked normal and didn't feel so "pocket-sized." So, it was the detective who had a problem.

It would be a lie to say that Watson was not excited to meet his first storyline character, and it was even a character from the drama. However, Lybella's presence was still too insignificant compared to the others around her. Watson did not even notice her at all.

Well, that's not right — or rather, he wasn't paying attention to anyone now. Instead, he was looking at the sign at the entrance of Whitechapel Orphanage in surprise. His expression was exactly the same as Libella's.

Davis couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with our orphanage's sign?

Why are you all looking at it? "

Several people standing at the door looked at Libella, and Watson came back to his senses, but his expression changed. Just now, he was still following behind his girlfriend, but now, he took a few steps forward and held Teacher Hathaway's hand.

Libella looked at their clasped hands and looked up at Watson in confusion.

Why? Does Watson know that a murder is about to happen here?

Libella said it was about to happen because she realized that the plot of this Doujinshi novel hadn't exactly started yet. The Doujinshi novel called "Born Criminal" started with Libella being driven out and wandering alone in the streets and alleys. In the rainy night, she met Sherlock, who was investigating a case. Then, the two heard screams near Whitechapel, followed by the first murder.

Although she wasn't liked now, she could still eat and live with this group of people. She hadn't been driven out yet.

In other words, the plot hadn't started yet.

So, what was Dr. Watson surprised about?

Of course, Watson was surprised. Just a few hours ago, he had heard Sherlock talk about Whitechapel and the Ripper, and now he was here with his girlfriend at night.

"John …" Hathaway looked at him in confusion and couldn't help but move closer to him. "What's wrong?"

"This place —" It's very dangerous.

He didn't finish his sentence because Watson realized that there were other people around.

It was not his style to create fear in others, but he could not help but look at them a few times. The meaning behind his gaze was self-evident.

Davis understood that the other party was afraid of their existence, so he didn't finish his sentence.

Davis's temper was very good, and he thoughtfully changed the topic.

"Since you're here, come in," Davis said with a smile. "Suni will be very happy to know that you're here, Miss Hathaway.

Suni hasn't been here for long, so she's still shy with strangers. "

Hathaway took one last look at her boyfriend before continuing to say to Davis, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Davis."

Watson let go of his girlfriend's hand, so Davis and Hathaway went in first. Watson walked last, glancing at the darkness outside a few times before quickly following in. As soon as he entered the door, there was finally light. He subconsciously looked around and accidentally found a little girl.

Her blonde hair was wrapped in a deer-hunting hat, and a few strands fell to the side. She was wearing an ill-fitting long windbreaker, and her height only reached his shoulders. She looked like a girl.

"You —" Watson couldn't help but step forward. "Hello?"

Libella was stunned. She didn't expect him to greet her first. Libella turned around and greeted him gracefully. "Hello, sir."

Watson saw her appearance and couldn't help but frown. Well, it wasn't that she was ugly, but the child looked a little strange.

Her facial features were well-defined, and her eyes were especially beautiful. Her blue eyes were big and bright, but when they were embedded in her face, there was an indescribable sense of awkwardness. It was probably because her eyes were too big and her face was too thin.

Watson was stunned. He couldn't help but blame himself for feeling uncomfortable because of a child's appearance. This was really disrespectful. But then again, he wasn't talking because of the other party's appearance, but because of the other party's attire.

"Your outfit is very strange," he said implicitly. It wasn't just strange, it was clearly a copy of Sherlock.

Libella blinked and said honestly, "I dressed up like Mr. Sherlock Holmes. I'm his fan."

Watson smiled. What should he say at this time?

"Thank you for liking me. Sherlock will be very happy when he finds out."

No, Mr. Detective would definitely be indifferent.

Sherlock Holmes's name attracted the interest of another person. It was Watson's girlfriend, Nina Hathaway. She turned around and saw Watson chatting with a girl. She hesitated for a moment, then picked up Suni, who had just jumped into her arms, and walked over to Watson's side.

Libella obediently lowered her eyes in front of Watson and didn't do anything strange to reduce her presence. She didn't notice Hathaway's stunned pause when she saw her face.

Although she quickly returned to normal, this small action was still noticed.

Davis smiled and asked, "What's wrong?

Miss Hathaway, is there something wrong with Libella? "

Madam Hathaway comforted Suni, who was lying on her shoulder and crying for her mother. She sighed heavily and said, "When I look at this child —" She gestured to Libella and continued, "It reminds me of a former student. Like her, she had a pair of beautiful blue eyes, but then unfortunately …"

She didn't continue, but her lowered head let everyone know that the student must have met with some mishap.

The atmosphere could be said to be very awkward …

Libella touched her nose. She wasn't afraid of misfortune. After all, she was the main character, and no one could die except her.

But Libella secretly glanced at Davis and found that there was a thick sadness on his face.

This made her a little curious.

Davis noticed her gaze and said to Libella, "Be good, go take a bath. I'll let Ben take you."

Libella didn't want to take a bath. After all, John Watson was standing there, and she hadn't seen enough of him. She didn't want to leave at all. Just as she was about to find an excuse to refuse, the children at the table beat her to it.

The children at the table speculated about everything related to Libella with the greatest malice.

"Look, Ben's face is completely red. Pfft — you don't like Libella, do you?"

The group of children looked at Ben with schadenfreude, as if liking Libella was something unfortunate.

Libella disagreed. The characters who liked the female lead were generally the supporting male characters, the kind who wouldn't easily be killed. How could passersby like you understand the advantages of not even showing your face?

Although she didn't care about the children's ridicule, she looked at Benben standing next to Davis — the little coward blinked his eyes and looked like he was about to cry.

Libella thought about it and decided to take the lead.

"Actually, you are jealous that I can be liked by Benben." She said clearly, with a hint of a smile in her tone.

One of the naughty children expressed his dissatisfaction. He slapped the table and pointed at Libella, "Bullshit!"

"Oh?"

Libella calmly put her hands on her hips and deliberately waved her hand in front of her nose. Then she pinched her nose and laughed at the naughty children, "It's obviously your side that stinks!"

Some of the naughty children were angered by Libella's humiliating provocation and immediately rushed over to fight with Libella. Libella certainly wouldn't fight them head-on. After all, with her small body, she couldn't beat anyone.

Libella leisurely thought that she was dragging a newbie from the newbie village to fight with a newbie from the newbie village.

Libella took advantage of the time when Davis was grabbing one in each hand to grab Benben's hand. Then she threw a provocative look at the naughty children and turned to run. Watson noticed that she stepped on the hem of the windbreaker several times.

He touched his chin. As Mr. Sherlock Holmes's roommate, he felt that the situation was a bit strange.

But his girlfriend's focus was obviously different.

Hathaway frowned and said to Davis, "Sir, I don't mean to offend you, but I didn't expect the Whitechapel Orphanage to be such an environment. I have already submitted an application to the court to adopt Suni, and it will be approved in a few days. But I don't want my student to live in such an environment. It's really bad for her. I want to take her back."

Davis was a little surprised. He didn't seem to expect Hathaway to have such thoughts. He thought that Hathaway was a caring teacher. But that wasn't accurate. Hathaway was indeed kind to Suni.

Davis was a little unhappy when he saw his children being criticized by Hathaway. Although he didn't show it on his face, his alienation could be felt. "If that's the case, you can take her away. It's really good for Suni."

The few naughty children that his subordinates had caught were completely obedient. They seemed to have realized that they had caused trouble for Davis. They stood timidly behind Davis, somewhat embarrassed.

Watson was busy texting Sherlock.

The girl just said that she was Sherlock's fan, but he didn't think it was likely. Which fan would put their idol's clothes on the ground and step on it?

Was she just fooling him?

[I'm at Whitechapel — j. w]

He thought for a moment and quickly typed another message.

[Libella is really lively, right?

— j. w]

Watson thought that Sherlock wouldn't reply to his message, but he didn't expect Sherlock to quickly reply to several consecutive messages.

[What are you doing at Whitechapel?

— j. h]

[Who is Libella — j. h]

Watson blinked inexplicably. He briefly explained the reason he came to Whitechapel and replied:

[Isn't Libella your little assistant?

Although she looks a little strange, she's smart. She's really not like her peers. So this is your type?

— j. w]

Are you kidding me?
