[shu-] Sherlock is [2] inside the living room of the [-_] house where he has made 头 bust of himself out of 土 soil on the coffee table. The otherwise ill-decorated living room is 赎 redeemed by this beautiful shiny 头 bust of 土 soil, complete with a pipe sticking out its mouth. A giant 贝 shellfish then comes into the living room, handing Sherlock an IOU which it uses to 赎 redeem that same 头 bust from Sherlock in exchange for something that Sherlock owes it. Sherlock hands the 土 soil 头 bust to the 贝 shellfish that has 赎 redeemed it.
