Chapter 590: Mechanical Monster

Victoria!

Appropriate mourning is respect for the deceased;

Excessive sorrow is the enemy of the living.

After years of persuasion by her ministers and valets, the Queen returned with great reluctance, and she decided to attend the opening of the Holborn Viaduct.

However, after completing this matter, the elderly king will rush back to Paddington Station and take a special train back to Windsor Castle.

Performing public duties a little bit means releasing a signal to the outside world that "the queen is trying her best to get rid of her grief and is about to get back on track" to stabilize the hearts of the people.

It's a pity that this good start was ruined by ulterior motives. The ballads from afar made Victoria feel disappointed, but she didn't show it, nor was she afraid of the assassination that would come at any time.

You know, in the first half of her life, the queen experienced seven assassinations, and even two assassinations were only a few days apart.

at the same time.

The leader of the guard looked up at the place where the sound came from, the rifle bullets had been loaded.

At the end of the street, there stood an unusually tall figure, like a giant walking out of mythology and history, he repeatedly sang mocking songs.

Then, gunshots rang out.

The head guard didn't pay attention to the other party's exaggerated posture, and directly pulled the trigger.

It's a pity that the bullet just passed by the arm, leaving a bloodstain on it, and in addition, the giant was enraged, and he rushed towards him.

Of course, the speed at which the monster erupts is very limited, like a bulky elephant.

Not long after, the streetlights illuminated the appearance of the assassin. He had messy hair like a lion's mane, a thick beard, and a wild aura all over his body.

"This guy is weird."

Lu Li whispered, he could see the trajectory of the bullet clearly, it was clearly aimed straight at the heart, but after getting close to the giant, the bullet quickly deviated from its original trajectory as if affected by a magnetic field.

boom! bang bang!

Almost at the moment when the weirdo charged, gunshots rang out, and the royal guards raised their guns to shoot one after another, creating bursts of gunpowder smoke.

And the gentlemen on the road also took up arms to fight back, for example: Officer Wensley.

At this moment, this gentleman with a strong sense of justice has taken out his revolver to defend the queen.

In any case, the person sitting in the car is the monarch of the country. When witnessing Victoria's crisis, the sleeping loyalty of the citizens is awakened one after another.

Among the crowd, Bai Yu, Zhao Feng, and Gao Qian were eager to try. This had nothing to do with loyalty, but purely to participate in the big event and improve the final evaluation.

However, everything had to be arranged by Lu Li, and he couldn't act without authorization.

So, while staring at the strange man, the three silently moved quickly towards Lu Li.

Frankly speaking, the power of primitive firearms is really limited. Most of the actors can ignore bullet attacks, but that weird guy, who didn't catch the bullets head-on, still used that weird way to transfer all the damage and let them brush away. Pass.

"Too low-level..."

Seeing this, Bai Yu couldn't help muttering, except for the weird hounds that hunted them last night, the tension never appeared.

"Don't go up yet, the royal guards can't be dealt with so easily."

Lu Li knew what the three of them were thinking without asking, and said in a deep voice, "Let this monster test the water first, and let's sit on the sidelines and figure out the situation."

Queen Victoria, who rules a territory of nearly 36 million square kilometers and leads a large number of slave states, how could she easily receive a box lunch?

As soon as the thought came to mind, wisps of pale golden mist invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people continued to pour out from the body of a cardinal. He stayed silently beside the Queen's carriage, acting like a sculpture, acting as a mascot.

But when the bullet was ineffective, the bishop finally moved. He said Mass and said softly: "The Lord said, those who forsake the glory and offend the authority will be punished."

After the words fell, a spear made of light rushed towards the strange man with great momentum.

In an instant, the strange force field disappeared, the light spear passed through the chest, and the giant-like monster fell down.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it died of random shooting, so the crowd burst into cheers immediately, and the gentlemen felt like medieval warriors, defending the monarch.

But the bishop who really made the move silently lowered his hand, hiding his merit and fame.

In the crowd, Bai Yu and the others had solemn expressions.

"I smell death."

"Can't take that blow."

The three of them sighed. After so many days of busy work, they finally saw the true face of this world.

"Boss, how much can you drive the cardinal next to the carriage?"

Bai Yu was a little curious as to whether the ceiling of his force could break through the second line of defense around the Queen.

As for the first line of defense, it is just an ordinary firearm, as long as it is an extraordinary person, it can be easily shredded.

"I haven't played, I don't know."

Lu Li whispered, "But the opponent's methods don't seem to be working on me."

"Um?"

The three of them were puzzled.

It's a pity that Lu Li didn't intend to explain in detail, he was carefully looking at the monster that fell on the charge road.

Nearly four meters tall, it doesn't look like much from a distance, but upon closer inspection, the left and right arms are actually of different sizes, and they seem to be pieced together.

In addition, after his death, the blood filled the iris instantly, and the two eyeballs exploded like toys, startling the guards who approached.

"Dude, plans have changed."

Lu Li looked at Wensley who put the gun away, and said in a deep voice, "Are you capable of taking over the assassin's corpse?"

"Forget it."

Wensley shook his head and sighed, "The Queen will personally arrange the aftermath, and Scotland Yard is not qualified to intervene for the time being."

boom! bang bang!

The sound of supplementary gunfire came.

In order to ensure that the monster was completely dead, the guards shot two more rounds. After a while, the giant monster lying on the ground could no longer find complete skin from his ankles to his face, and his body was covered with dense bullet holes.

"Mechanical creation? No, it's a semi-mechanical body that combines flesh and blood with technology."

Thanks to the guards, Lu Li saw a lot of gears and something like a steam engine through the bullet holes. He murmured, "I need to tell Duke, he must be very interested in this ghost thing."

In the era when steam engines were popularized, robots appeared. Although their intelligence is not much stronger than that of wild animals, and they can only repeat one sentence, they are amazing enough.

What is the principle?

Alchemy, magic, or whatever.

Can it inspire Duke?

In an instant, Lu Li thought of a lot.

"The plan is all messed up. I have to escort the queen away. When the matter is over, I will notify the police station in the Whitechapel area to help take care of the stray warbler."

After the words fell, Officer Wensley left in a hurry after saying hello, and so did many gentlemen. They bid farewell to their female companions and drove away from Regent Street with the Queen.

It's a tradition.

Decades ago, when Victoria rode a horse to visit her mother, she encountered an assassin on the way. The surrounding male citizens immediately formed a convoy and escorted her back to the palace, cheering enthusiastically on the way.

You know, it's kind of decent.

I will insist on updating for a while, and the daily manuscript fee is 20 yuan, which is a bit of a defense... I will change the editor for the next book, for my own sake.
