YUNYUE VS FENGHUANG (XXVIII)

LACKING a complete understanding of Sherlock Holmes lore and realizing it was more practical to act than to waste time chasing an answer that might never come to him, Luo Yan simply sent a message on their team channel.

Noctis: [The old man saw through my act and started talking about a woman I apparently reminded him of. He spoke about her with this strange mix of admiration and awe. Does someone like that exist in Sherlock Holmes' life?]

He didn't have to wait long before Shen Ji Yun sent a response. 

YUN: [There is. It's Irene Adler. She's one of the few people who ever outsmarted Sherlock Holmes. He calls her "The Woman" because of how much he respects her. In his life, she's less of a love interest and more of a figure he deeply admires for her wit, charm, and intelligence.] 

Luo Yan raised an eyebrow as he read the message. If he remembered correctly, Irene Adler was likely the character Rachel McAdams had played in that Sherlock Holmes movie.
