Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Watching the Ancient One disappear before his eyes, Sherlock instantly became interested in the spellbooks in the Kamar-Taj Library.

The reason is simple: Sherlock has never seen such magic before!

Having been tricked by the Ancient One once, Sherlock was afraid that this would be another temptation from her, so he didn't dare to actually use the Anywhere Door to wander around the library in Kamar-Taj.

As for the Ancient One's mention of going to Asgard, Sherlock thought about it and then didn't pay much attention to it.

The reason is simple: firstly, the Ancient One did not mention a timeframe, which means that he would definitely not go to Asgard to demand justice anytime soon. For Sherlock, the longer he could delay, the better.

It's like how escaping, though shameful, is actually quite effective.

On the other hand, it's also because what the Ancient One said was true: it was Admiral Kizaru who stole the armor, what does that have to do with me, Sherlock?

What? You're asking where the Uru alloy in Sherlock's arm came from? Please, I'm an alchemist! Matter conversion is just basic skill, isn't it?

What? You're saying that Uru Alloy can't be synthesized using alchemy because of its extremely high affinity for magic? Well, I don't know. I just cast an alchemy spell once, and this thing appeared in my alchemy array by itself. How would I know why?

What? You don't believe me? Go tell our dear Marshal Gu what you have to say! If you don't know her, I can introduce you. See that bald woman over there? Go, young man, her reasons are definitely more reliable (and powerful) than mine, a mere alchemist.

The more Sherlock thought about it, the more confident he felt, the more certain he was that he had nothing to do with it, and the straighter his back became.

At least before meeting his nemesis Odin, Sherlock's back was absolutely straight.

After a period of self-hypnosis, Sherlock successfully put all these messy things out of his mind, and dragged Zhao Weike and Helen to a nearby shopping mall with Doro to start preparing for their upcoming short trip.

After all, Helen's new car had just been renovated, and the interior was just an empty room. There were many things to prepare, such as food, snacks, and hygiene products, and almost everything needed to be purchased again.

In this situation, Sherlock's large pickup truck becomes particularly practical, as the cargo bed can hold enough for Sherlock and Helen's families to eat, wear, and use for a week.

What neither family expected was that when the four of them returned home after their wonderful shopping trip, they were greeted by a complete mess.

Helen and Zhao Weike's house was burgled!

Most importantly, the thief not only made a mess of Zhao Weike and Helen's home, but even drove off with Zhao Weike's Mustang!

This car was a "parting gift" that Helen gave to Zhao Weike when she was seriously ill!

If it weren't for Sherlock's appearance, this car might have truly become one of the few mementos Helen left for Zhao Weike.

That's why Zhao Weike cherished this classic car so much, and he remained unmoved no matter how much Sherlock and Helen teased him about it.

But now, this classic car has been stolen!

Upon discovering this situation, Zhao Weike's face darkened, and the murderous aura belonging to the Night Demon instantly returned to him.

Zhao Weike gave Sherlock a look, and Sherlock almost immediately understood. He led Helen to report the incident while carefully taking her inside to check the house.

Zhao Weike then went to the side and took out his phone to make a call.

Meanwhile, Sherlock, who was protecting Helen as she entered the messy room, also clearly noticed the sadness on Helen's face.

The reason is simple: the cups and cutlery that represented the memories between Helen and Zhao Weike, and which Sherlock had ridiculed as "extremely ugly" from beginning to end, were all smashed.

Keep in mind that these were things the two of them did together before they even met Sherlock! Now they're all reduced to rubble.

Although Sherlock could easily repair the fragments, some things, even if repaired, would never be the same as before.

However, this did not annoy Sherlock.

What truly infuriated Sherlock was that he discovered the remains of numerous photographic albums inside the fireplace in Helen's house!

These albums are all memories of Helen, Zhao Weike, and Sherlock, recording almost every detail of how the three met and even the birth of Doro.

It's important to know that whether in his past life or this one, Sherlock, as a man, has always disliked taking photos. Those photograph fragments, however, are a snapshot of the light of redemption that Helen and Zhao Weike extended to Sherlock during his most lonely, helpless, and maladjusted time after his transmigration.

Now those lights have been reduced to ashes along with the flames of the fireplace!

Unfortunately, these photos are things that Sherlock's alchemy is completely unable to repair!

Sherlock can restore the photograph itself, but not the image within it. Memory is the Achilles' heel of alchemy; no matter what form of alchemy is used, Sherlock cannot find a way to restore those precious memories.

That's why Sherlock's face turned terribly dark after discovering this.

Sherlock escorted the sorrowful Helen out of the house, and after handing her over to the arriving police, he took Helen and Zhao Weike back to his home.

Similarly, Zhao Weike's expression wasn't good either. The moment the door closed, Zhao Weike whispered to Sherlock behind Helen's back.

"Sherlock, take good care of Helen. I need to take care of some things!"

But Sherlock grabbed Zhao Weike's foot as he tried to leave. Sherlock, his face equally dark and menacing, spoke to Zhao Weike with murderous intent.

"Wait, Lao Zhao, this isn't just about you anymore!"

As Sherlock said this, a hint of doubt appeared in Zhao Weike's eyes as he looked at Sherlock, but when he saw the tattered photo album that Sherlock was still clutching in the bag, he understood.

At the same time, I felt a touch of emotion, because if we don't really cherish these things, those photos might just be some insignificant pictures.

After a brief discussion, the two decided to let Helen stay at the Continental Hotel first. With the protection of the Continental Hotel and Winston's care, and with Doro's armor and miniature meow hammer, Helen's safety could also be protected.

Given Sherlock's VIP status, Helen is absolutely safe in the Continental Hotel.

Once Helen is safe, Sherlock and Zhao Weike's killing spree will truly begin.
