Chapter 606: Great Changes in the World

After Mi Gao left, Lu Li got up from the bed, opened the window casually, and went to wash up.

Fog.

Today, that title has become well-deserved, and the entire city ushered in the thickest smog.

Sometimes it is sunny, sometimes it rains heavily, and sometimes it is foggy. Local residents have a lot of discussion about this erratic and weird weather.

In addition, the theory of ghosts and ghosts has also begun to prevail in the market.

"morning."

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Duke. This guy came out of the bathroom, his face was full of excitement, without any trace of sleepiness. He greeted Lu Li, and then said:

"It's 6:13. When the boy comes back with breakfast, it will be about 7:30. Let's leave for Scotland Yard's headquarters on Whitehall Street at 8:00."

"At nine o'clock at the latest, you can see the mechanical monster you've been thinking about."

Lu Li agreed with a smile. At the same time, he filled a glass of water from the faucet and prepared to wash up.

Then, the strong smell of blood in the cup made him frown uncontrollably.

"Dead."

"Well, probably there was a problem with the water plant, and someone threw the body in."

The first thing Duke did after waking up was to put water in the bathroom, but he didn't have the habit of flushing it away, so he moved over to the cup in Lu Li's hand and sniffed it.

There is indeed no doubt about the smell of blood.

"The murder case is getting closer to us. We used to take the initiative to find it, but now..."

Squeak.

Before he finished speaking, the sound of the downstairs door being pushed suddenly sounded.

Soon, Pan Ming and others appeared in the living room on the second floor, and the first thing they said was: "The tap water is no longer usable, the smell of corpses and blood is too strong."

"For us, this smell is particularly obvious, but ordinary residents may not be able to distinguish it. If someone with ulterior motives spreads the plague through the water plant, at least 100,000 households will be affected."

Everyone began to discuss the newly discovered things, showing great interest, even excitement.

"Our group of students who have nothing to do must have been busy all night last night, and there are strange phenomena everywhere." Duke sat on the sofa and asked curiously, "I just don't know if anyone is out."

Due to going to bed early, everyone did not intuitively experience the various perceptions brought about by the drastic changes in the world, but they felt that a phenomenon similar to the Oriental Hundred Ghosts Night Walk appeared in many neighborhoods.

"When the newspaper arrives in a while, we can roughly guess the scale of the spiritual wave."

After the initial freshness, Lu Li became calm. He washed up with the half bucket of water he collected in advance last night, and sat down with the members of the investigation team.

Everything is expected, isn't it?

For some reason, Lu Li thought of Yang Yuanyuan who had left the team and was investigating the Tully Street fire by herself, so she didn't know what was going on.

There is a high probability that there is trouble.

After all, it is not an easy task to get the reward that makes all the private detectives and bounty hunters go crazy. Coupled with the sudden surging spiritual tide, the difficulty will soar geometrically...

After his thoughts diverged for a while, Lu Li pressed his thoughts down. Their current goal is very clear:

Investigate the Queen's assassination.

In the long run, we have to count the uprising route.

While working hard for the royal family, at the same time thinking about giving a heavy blow to the aristocratic class and black-hearted capitalists headed by the royal family.

It can only be said that what adults consider the most is their interests, and Lu Li doesn't think there is anything wrong with his repeated jumping.

"Opportunities are everywhere. It can't be said that the place is weird, but as long as you have the heart, you will definitely find something."

Bai Yu didn't think it was a big deal at all, he blew his whistle, looking forward to the changes the actors would bring to the city——

A group of powerful people who are full of troubles have sprung up like mushrooms after the spring rain. It is almost predictable that the police station will have a headache today.

"There is no limit to the top, and it is climbing higher and higher." Lu Li poured cold water, and said in a deep voice, "The real drama is just beginning. Although there is no life-threatening trouble, based on past experience, the world will change in a month at most. Very dangerous."

"That... will not make it easy for us."

After the words fell, the room became quiet.

Bai Yu and the others quickly adjusted their mentality. They admitted that after joining the team formed by the class bosses, they felt a sense of security and could not conceal their pride.

However, these are actually illusions.

Even Lu Li can only guarantee that he will not be at a disadvantage in the early stage, but as the intensity of the spiritual wave increases, even he will be tired of coping.

[There is no cap on the top, and it is climbing steadily]

This comment can be called a curse, and it applies to everyone, whether it is a freshman or a junior, whether it is an ordinary student or a top student known as a seed player, no one can pass the exam comfortably.

In the silence, a shadow emerged from the fireplace, it was the witch who had only one life left.

At this moment, she became even more dangerous, exuding a strange charm all over her body, and her originally bumpy figure became even hotter.

If it is left to the outside world to speculate, its real age will definitely be the opposite of the guessed result!

She hadn't remembered anything before she was alive, and the recovery time after death was less than two months, which made her become like this.

If the witch is not controlled early, she will definitely become extremely difficult. She can fight Lu Li head-on after going through at most two spiritual surges.

Fortunately, the Soul Binding Bolt still works.

At this moment, the witch stood obediently in front of her eyes without any drastic actions, which is the best proof, she repented in her heart:

If he didn't provoke the other party that night, he would definitely become stronger when the spiritual tide surged for the first time, and then he would be able to carry out his revenge plan.

It's a pity that she doesn't have the ability to go back in time, which belongs to the realm of gods.

"It seems that your abilities have been enhanced, congratulations." Lu Li congratulated the witch who became more and more proud, and asked, "Can you tell me how much you have enhanced?"

It seemed polite, but the Witch didn't have the right to refuse to answer at all. She replied: "Based on the original foundation, various abilities have been strengthened."

"As long as there are negative emotions nearby, I can use them to resurrect, but the number of times is not infinite..."

Speaking of this, the blond witch thought of the night when she was violently captured. The wolf claws, the blade, and the weird bloodthirsty technique made her reborn dozens of times.

Without personal experience, it is hard to imagine that there are such boring people in the world.

And the next period of time passed very quickly. When the discussion was coming to an end, Mi Gao came back with a bunch of ingredients and newspapers.

"Sir, today's market is full of strange stories, as if they appeared overnight."

As he spoke, the boy put The Times on the long table, followed by fresh milk and meatloaf.

Out of safety considerations, Duke lowered his head and sniffed. He wasn't very worried before, but after the drastic changes in the world, it's better to be cautious, so as not to eat any weird things.

Lu Li, on the other hand, focused on today's headlines——

Tragic, Regent's Park skating accident.

【Last night, there was an abnormal drop in temperature near Regent's Park, the river was frozen, and countless men who were excited by the parade were skating here.

Despite warnings from "the staff of the Royal Humane Society responsible for monitoring the ice situation" that the cooling is strange and the ice is very thin, more than 5,000 people still called friends and friends to skate in the round pool...

In the end, it turned out to be a tragedy. 】

According to the editor of the Times, the lake in Regent’s Park comes from the Tiber River, and there is a strong undercurrent in it. The Humane Society asked the police to disperse the skating crowd and keep excited tourists away from this place——

But the head of the association was told that the police did not have such powers. After all, ice skating may be dangerous, but it is not illegal.

In this way, more and more people gathered, thinking that this is some kind of strange natural phenomenon that is rare in a thousand years.

When the number of people reached more than 5,000, the ice surface suddenly cracked into countless squares like a chessboard, and water seeped out from the cracks. All the tourists came back to their senses and rushed to the shore desperately, but there were still a large number of people Trapped on rapidly cracking ice.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, the Humane Society had no time to rescue them. They could only watch the unlucky ones fall into the water and then disappear under the ice.

As of press time, only the bodies of 30 tourists have been salvaged by the association.

Judging from the black-and-white photos of the scene attached to the newspaper, the Humane Society is nothing special. They use ropes, wicker ice boats, sleds, boat hooks, and cork lifebelts, and there is no special equipment.

At first glance, it seems that the tragedy was caused by the blind obedience of the people, but it happened at this juncture, and it was destined to be not simple.

The river suddenly freezes?

Right now, Baker Street is filled with thick fog, and the air is full of water droplets and small ice crystals, but it is not enough to freeze the river. Therefore, only the Regent's Park area has a sharp drop in temperature.

How many kinds of weather coexist in a city?

And, it's extreme weather.

Think with your toes, you know what the hell is going on.

In addition, the residents near Regent's Park were all born in the middle class, had received a certain degree of education, and there was no situation where they could not understand the warnings. Just like when the Tully Street fire broke out, they fell into a mass obsession.

Regarding this point, the newspaper also pointed it out. They interviewed a resident who lived nearby——

When the horrific accident happened, I had just finished my parade and was resting at home for a while before going to the Garrick Club to meet Germaine Read, a young musician.

I passed Regent's Park at about 3.15 in the morning, and there were a lot of people skating, which was a strange phenomenon, which doesn't happen in other areas.

Looking back now, I didn’t question this abnormal scene at the time. Instead, I came up with the idea of ​​renting skates, trying to see if I had forgotten my skating skills, but the agreement with my friend saved me.

In order not to miss the appointment, I resisted the urge and planned to visit friends first, and then return to ice skating after finishing the meeting early.

More than an hour later, around 4.30am, I returned to Regent's Park, and people were screaming and yelling from the shore:

There has been a terrible accident! The ice broke suddenly and at least five hundred people drowned.

Immediately afterwards, in the tent set up by the Humane Society, I saw two livid boys who had just been rescued from the bottom of the water by rescuers and had no vital signs.

At that time, there was only one thought in my mind: the devil has put a curse on this area, and God has protected me.

【Before the newspaper was printed, the official had not given an answer. Did the devil deprive thousands of lives? All we can do now is speculate]

At the end of this article, a paragraph of bold black words is attached. The newspaper has no intention of creating turmoil, but only reports according to the facts.

Because the weird events that happened last night cannot be suppressed at all, and the officials also know that blocking the news will only cause greater panic, so they simply let the newspapers have freedom of speech.

【Tulip Murder】

【Black Cross】

【Ghost Summoning Game】

【Midnight sheep hoof print】

After reading the headlines, and then watching other news, I suddenly felt an indescribable feeling.

The painting style collapsed?

It does have such a meaning.

Before today, the headlines on the "Times" were either about the economy or politics, and the other sections were mainly entertainment and advertising. Now, it gives people a kind of unscrupulous tabloid, in order to gain attention and increase sales. The feeling of deliberately fabricating rumors.

However, Lu Li could conclude that these things did happen and caused riots in the local neighborhood.

To quote the last sentence of the paper—

Upon waking up, the citizens of Wudu are surprised to find that the city they have lived in for decades has become extremely strange, and there are bloody incidents everywhere, the absurdity of which can be called unimaginable.

"Opportunities are everywhere. The spring of private detectives is here." Duke leaned beside Lu Li and finished reading all the content. His tone seemed relaxed, but his expression was extraordinarily serious.

An ice skating accident caused the disappearance of thousands of people. It is hard to imagine what kind of force is behind it.

You know, the blond witch who made my side flustered for a long time, sacrificed less than a hundred people before she came to the case.

"We have to eat one bite at a time. No matter how many opportunities there are outside, we just need to finish the Queen's assassination case. It's not easy."

Lu Li had a clear goal. He didn't want to be distracted by his "side business". If he picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelon, there would be no place to cry.

On the side, Pan Ming nodded and echoed, "That's right, after solving the serial murder case in the East District, we are already in the leading position."

"And being able to get in touch with the Queen's assassination case also benefited from this. It is impossible for other people to intervene. Therefore, we must seize the opportunity."

Similar to exclusive tasks.

In the early stage of entering the field, solve the big troubles for Scotland Yard and establish a good cooperative relationship with them, only then will you have the opportunity to receive tasks from the princess.

The rarity is evident.

In fact, Yang Yuanyuan would not have chosen to part ways if there were not too many actors participating in the investigation and her own goals were too high.

"Then let's go." Lu Li drank his share of milk in two or three strokes. "Today is to go to see the corpses. You don't need to go all of them. Mi Gao stays to watch the house."

As he said that, he pointed to the witch whose body had condensed again, and added: "You too, don't make any wrong thoughts, just stay here."

Faced with the master's arrangement, Mi Gao readily agreed. He knew that there would definitely be opportunities to perform in the future, so there was no need to be in a hurry.

What's more, there are many things I don't understand, and even if I go there, it is difficult to find anything from the corpse.
