Chapter 990: The Advent of Pluto (1)

Toast, fried eggs, sausages, freshly ground coffee...

Although they were all simple things and the ingredients could only be said to be fresh, Yang Kai ate very deliciously.

At Lu Li's request, the puppies around the door were also able to enjoy the food.

"This place is really like London in the Victorian era. Of course, I have never been there, I only saw it in the documentary."

His eyes fell on Lu Li.

After all, he said earlier that he knew Conan Doyle, the author of Sherlock Holmes.

Under his gaze, Lu Li sighed, "Twice, I'm already very familiar with it."

Unlike the first visit, when he performed his mission in the Fog City World for the second time, he actually spent a not-so-short period of time.

As Yang Kai said, there are many similarities with the Victorian era, such as:

The roar of the city.

aka, noise.

Similar to the watchman in the ancient east, there is a profession called watchman here. Every half an hour, he will patrol the street and shout to ensure that everyone who is interested in it can know the time in time.

However, they were able to accurately call out the weather conditions for the next two hours, which surprised Lu Li. After all, there are no weather satellites right now. If they can predict without errors, it can indeed explain something.

Added to the constant noise were church bells, each house using a hundred tunes.

Unfortunately, it is not a belief in Christ.

On the way here, Lu Li saw a church shrine. It was pitch black and exuded a divine aura, reminding one of... Mother?

To be more precise, it should be tranquility, which extends the previous feeling.

That is probably what the Knights said, the Church of the Goddess of Darkness responsible for investigating the large-scale disembowelment case.

"There are still quite a few differences."

"The reason why you feel this way is probably because civilization has developed to a certain level, and such phenomena will appear."

Yang Kai couldn't refute or agree with Lu Li's remarks, because the original owner was an otaku and rarely went out to touch other things. Judging from his own observation in this short period of time, he felt that it was very similar to the foggy city during Queen Victoria's reign.

After all, there's even the iconic Ripper!

When the two communicated.

boom!

A muffled sound came from the next table.

The middle-aged man, who was eating silently, slipped from his seat, as if he had drunk too much, and kept pulling his hands in front of his eyes, like swimming, or resisting others approaching.

"Help me, my stomach!"

"my stomach!"

While begging for help and waving his arms, the other diners who surrounded him felt inexplicable.

Just as Lu Li was about to move over, the man let out a roar, like a wild beast with a severely wounded throat, and then a trace of saliva flowed out of his mouth, his eyes widened, and he lost the strength to struggle.

“Food is poisonous!”

"Quick, go to church for treatment."

The gentlemen who had not paid the money fled one after another.

A guest was eating quietly, suddenly he looked like this, and before he died, he shouted:

my stomach.

If Lu Li hadn't been able to recognize these, and because of the werewolf's special skills, he always had a clear understanding of his own state, then he would have thought the same.

at the same time.

Yang Kai looked at the seniors, as if he was worried that they were also poisoned, but since he had no faith, which church should he seek for treatment?

Moreover, Lu Li, who seems to be omnipotent, did not show his alertness and timely warning in this matter, which inevitably makes people feel disappointed...

"Don't think about it, the food is not poisonous."

"Really?"

An exclamation came from the side, before Yang Kai could speak, an old woman wearing a headscarf rushed over, grabbed Lu Li's hand tightly, and begged:

"Please be sure to testify for me."

"The Knights will come to investigate in a while, and maybe there are attendants from the nearby temple."

Knights = Police Station√

Temple = supernatural phenomenon research institute?

Lu Li thought for a while, and thought that the latter should not be described in this way. They themselves are representatives of supernatural power, so maybe they can't be studied.

For a certain purpose, it may be the power of faith, these groups will help solve supernatural events, and take the initiative to maintain the stable life of ordinary people.

The above is Lu Li's guess based on his own experience, because Yang Kai has only traveled for a short time, and he is still shrouded in a cloud of fog, so don't expect to provide any valuable information.

The speed of police dispatch in this era is beyond doubt.

A quarter of an hour?

Anyway, Yang Kai only said a few words, then the sound of horseshoes came from outside, and four strong men in ancient armor rushed in.

It's a pity that we can't escape the law of violent law enforcement. The old lady was controlled immediately, followed by the junior with negligible combat effectiveness.

Second... There is no second.

Boom! Boom!

The two guys who were trying to approach were instantly knocked down by Lu Li. Because the punches were too fast, no one could see the relevant movements clearly.

Lu Li didn't rashly intervene in the investigation of the disemboweling case at night, but that didn't mean he was afraid of getting into trouble, and allowed himself to be pinned to the ground by two weak things, and to accept interrogation from above.

"He and I were just passing by for dinner, and we had no intention of getting involved in this unexpected incident."

Looking at Lu Li who seemed to have never moved, and the two companions who were paralyzed on the ground and unable to get up, the two who had already controlled the target silently released their hands.

The moment he regained his freedom, Yang Kai immediately approached Lu Li, and he retracted his previous thoughts.

This senior is really good at playing...

How fast is it to achieve the effect just now? The person still maintained the posture of leaning on the wolf-headed cane, while the two knights flew out backwards.

"Sorry, sir."

A pair of green eyes looked over:

"I apologize for my companion's rude behavior."

In this regard, Lu Li just nodded, turned his eyes to the corpse on the ground, and signaled that they can investigate.

Because the incident happened so hastily and there wasn't much testimony to offer, the investigation quickly got on track:

Close the back kitchen and check the ingredients.

Find out the identity of the deceased.

Wait for the medical examiner to arrive.

During the period, those diners went back and forth, don’t expect them to pay for the meal, even the church clergy of their respective beliefs gave a clear answer:

There is no risk of poisoning.

The reason why I came back now is to find out what happened.

"How about we go out and avoid it for a while?"

"If you can't bear it, you can leave for a while."

Hearing what Lu Li said, Yang Kai felt that he shouldn't be underestimated, so he decided to bite the bullet and stay.

"When I cut him open, something might fall out and someone would have to help me."

"When the time comes, pull this tissue back."

While drawing lines on the corpse, the forensic doctor said:

"Then the sternum will be exposed, grab this side, and continue to pull... When I move the knife again, I have to pull the meat at an even speed..."

The knights retreated one after another, feeling that it was too bloody, and their expressions were full of resistance.

Only Lu Li was interested.

When he played the role for the first time, he acted as an assistant to Duke. Later, in the anatomy class, he frequently came into contact with dead bodies and saw all kinds of creatures from different races.
