Chapter 635: The Beginning of Hell
When life is full of variables and it is hard to find a little bit of happiness, life will inevitably become contemptible.
Sometimes, the Thames River and the top of some monuments are full of people waiting to commit suicide. Because it is so common that it is almost impossible to find news about suicide when you pick up the newspaper every day.
Sunday.
Thanks to the revival of the spiritual tide, workers are no longer open all year round, they have begun to enjoy unpaid leave.
Lu Li prefers to call it: laid off.
"This pie...so salty!"
Duke was holding a thin pie in his hand, which was filled with all kinds of minced meat. The quality of the meat was not extremely bad, and it was edible, but there were a lot of coarse salt particles, which made his throat a little rough.
"It's okay, the one in my hand has no smell, and black pepper alone can't cover up the fishy smell of pork."
Pan Ming sighed helplessly.
On the side, Lu Li missed his little guy Mi Gao, and he planned to call his apprentice over to cook.
"Be patient, I have already found a new cook, and I will be able to eat delicious meals at night at the latest."
The voice was a bit old, and it was the old man Vincent who had been working overtime all night. He was drinking the coffee he brewed, holding a piece of pie in his hand, with an extremely painful expression on his face.
"Shock! The hawkers in the market commit suicide collectively! "
Not far from the dining table, there was an open newspaper, which introduced a vicious murder case to the citizens.
Of course, Scotland Yard is always more informed than the media. As early as three hours ago, Lu Li vaguely heard the report from the next room.
Late last night, a group of hawkers died in several garden markets next to Whitehall Street, involving as many as 180 people.
[Thirty tents, large and small, including diners, were all killed by strange existences. Because only the weird and unknown can make people commit this kind of behavior that violates common sense. 】
[These victims disemboweled themselves, and all the organs in the stomach disappeared without a trace. In addition, there was not even a little blood splashed out, as if there was nothing inside. 】
"The inspector in charge of the area declared that the faces of the victims were still enjoying the delicious food, holding a knife and fork in their hands, and it seemed that it was too late to show fear..."
While drinking milk, Lu Li recalled the conversations that came from the chief's office.
No matter how experienced an inspector is, he will appear insignificant in front of supernatural forces.
In addition, the headquarters of Scotland Yard was also implicated to a certain extent. The cooks took holy water and guns to the surrounding markets to purchase fresh meat and vegetables.
In the end, it was eaten by a group of children.
That's right, upon hearing the news, Lu Li got up from his desk in an instant.
Against the backdrop of the recovery of the spiritual wave, not only the mentally ill patients in the lunatic asylum have been strengthened, but the children have also become extremely dangerous.
According to eyewitnesses, the cheerful laughter of children came out of the thick fog, and then screams sounded. When the clergy arrived, only bloodstains and smashed chef uniforms were left on the ground.
There is an old saying in the East that the king of Hades is no different from a hungry ghost.
A group of people in the headquarters were busy all night, and they had to work for nearly a morning. They had to eat something to replenish their energy. In desperation, Duke took his new friend, the giant Wade Lowe, to a farther market to purchase food.
In the empty market, the two found a stall that was still open. The owner was a laid-off worker. He brought materials such as sugar, coarse salt, and peppermint oil from home, picked up a few pots from the ground, and started doing business.
Because of this, the gentlemen of Scotland Yard enjoyed one of the most special meals ever, with meat pies either too salty, too sweet or tasteless.
At the dinner table, everyone complained about the craftsmanship of the worker brothers, and at the same time, felt very sad.
There are dead people everywhere, but those who have some conditions at home shrink back and dare not go out. Only those at the bottom still persist in fighting to maintain the last trace of vitality and vitality in the city.
"As for Wensley, he won't oversleep. My old bone has been on duty for him for a whole day. If I don't come again..."
The old man took a sip of yogurt and gin, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes. He knew this apprentice he had single-handedly picked up very well. He was humble and extremely hardworking. Therefore, as long as his physical condition allowed, he would definitely come to report.
Thinking of this, Vincent touched his coat pocket, glanced at his pocket watch, and became more anxious. He planned to send two groups of police officers to Wensley's apartment.
All these movements were under Lu Li's watchful eyes.
"Father, Officer Wensley is temporarily unable to perform his duties. He is currently sleeping in St. Paul's Cathedral."
As he spoke, a handwritten letter was handed over.
The content above was written by Wensley himself before he lay down in the Ark of Eternity. Lu Li didn't open it to read, but he just vaguely explained his own situation and comforted the teacher not to worry too much.
"I see."
After leaving a sentence, the old man walked towards the office with a glass full of yogurt mixed with wine.
Vaguely, Lu Li saw Vincent's lips trembling slightly.
This damn woman...
It appears that Wensley mentioned Miss Meacham.
After the episode, only Lu Li and a group of cosplayers, as well as the giant Wade Lowe, were left at the dinner table.
Not long ago, this gentleman, who was awakened from eternal sleep, said that please bury me again, and the tomb must be strengthened and tighter.
But after walking around the street with Duke, he was greatly shocked. The supposedly bustling street became extremely cold, and the child who was originally regarded as an angel became the representative of the devil.
Opening a glance, hundreds of years have passed, and the reigning person is a monarch named Queen Victoria.
When I opened my eyes again, a few more days passed, and the city became even stranger, with ominous presences spreading fear everywhere, and death everywhere.
What shocked the giant Wade Lowe the most was what Duke said to him:
"Have you ever seen a city at the end of the disease? Killing and devouring are everywhere, and civilization dies as the ultimate victor disintegrates."
Before entering the examination room, the two classes jointly participated in a special holiday, taking into account both learning and entertainment, but many people were so self-motivated that they gave up their holidays and went to infected cities one after another to watch how civilization withered. How the mutants born in the body perform the art of killing.
Among them, the observation group consisting of Lu Li, Duke, and Pan Ming had the most experience.
If the weirdness is not suppressed in time, the city will be reduced to ruins when the exam is over.
This is a fact, and even Lu Li, who got the cheat, has to admit that no one can always feel at ease in the exam scene.
The entrance examination is destined to become the paradise that all cosplayers dream of.
But at this moment, the half-mechanical giant Wadelow shrinks back, half-sitting on the floor and thinking: what can I, a deceased person from a hundred years ago, do for this era?
Except for assassinating the queen.
