Chapter 401 Antique Shop

"What are you standing there for? Go in." Xu Jing said to Chen Ke who was standing by the window.

Chen Ke gently pushed open the door, and the wind chimes on the corridor rang, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the antique shop.

The room was a little dark, and the lights were not on. Because there were too many things piled up in the room, the light coming in from the window was blocked.

He saw a ceramic product as tall as a person placed in the corner, and the cabinet was piled with all kinds of unnamed fragments. On the table next to it, there was even a jade inkstone.

Chen Ke was surprised to find that the emerald green inkstone changed its shape all the time. As long as he looked away from it, its color

and outer shape would change slightly.

The dozing old man was also an Asian. He was awakened by the sound of the wind chimes, looked up at Chen Ke, and his eyes revealed the intention of driving customers away.

"This store is closed today, please go back." He said with a strong northern accent.

"We are not here to buy anything, Mr. Pu. Have you prepared the clothes I want?" Xu Jing walked past Chen Ke and approached the counter.

"Ah, it's Miss Xu!" Mr. Pu quickly stood up and bowed slightly to Xu Jing.

Chen Ke looked at them strangely, not knowing what the previous conversation was about.

"Who is this..." Mr. Pu looked at Chen Ke.

"Yes, I hope the size is correct." Xu Jing said.

Chen Ke did not speak, leaning against the counter, watching the old man take out a large paper bag from under the counter.

Xu Jing did not even look at it, pushed the paper bag in front of Chen Ke, and said, "Put it on."

"What clothes are these...?" Chen Ke wondered, looked into the paper bag, and found a dark blue retro windbreaker.

Not only clothes, but also black suit pants, white shirt, dark red jacket vest and dark brown leather shoes, all of which are very old styles.

He suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, remembering that he had used a holy object before, which looked very similar to the clothes in this paper bag...

Chen Ke remembered that it was the old Victorian-style doctor's windbreaker.

Chen Ke already knew where Xu Jing was going to take him.

"By the way, Chen Ke, give me everything you have on you." Xu Jing said.

Chen Ke was stunned. How could this be possible?

He didn't have much stuff on him, a special 67-type pistol, an iPhone 3G, and a small wallet full of cash and holy diamonds. No matter which one, he couldn't give it to others casually.

"I'm afraid I can't agree to this." Chen Ke shook his head.

"I hope you know that the things on you have no attraction to me. I just want to make sure that when we go there, I won't carry anything that shouldn't be there." Xu Jing said.

"They are very important to me. If you don't let me take them, I won't go." Chen Ke said.

Xu Jing looked at Chen Ke, frowned, and finally had to compromise, saying: "Okay, Chen Ke...but don't take out your mobile phone or gun or something like that there casually."

"What will happen if you take it out?" Chen Ke asked.

"The development of the times has its own context. I don't want you to reveal the future creations to them too early and bring unnecessary enlightenment." Xu Jing explained.

"I'll try my best." Chen Ke said, then looked at the old man next to him, and said, "It seems that he is also from the foundation?"

"Yes, do you think I will talk about this kind of thing in front of anyone casually? Now go change your clothes!" Xu Jing said.

Under the guidance of the old man, Chen Ke came to an unused room and changed into a full set of clothes. Although he didn't know how they knew his measurements, he could only say that the clothes fit him mysteriously.

When he walked out of the room, Xu Jing was talking to a black cat.

"...Yes, they have all gone? I will go to find them as soon as possible." Xu Jing said to the cat.

"Be careful, Miss Xu, we don't know what Chen Ke's purpose is yet." The black cat said, and as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Ke who had just walked out of the inner room, meowed, and jumped into the gap between the piles of antique jars.

Xu Jing turned around and looked at Chen Ke. He said, "It looks very suitable, but it feels like something is missing."

Mr. Pu, who was standing by, took out a black gentleman's hat from somewhere and handed it to Chen Ke.

Chen Ke took the hat, hesitated for a moment, and put it on his head.

"Now it's complete." Xu Jing smiled.

"It's raining over there, you should be prepared to bring umbrellas." Mr. Pu reminded, walked into the counter, and took out two more umbrellas.

Chen Ke took the umbrella and found that the handle was made very carefully. He immediately saw the mystery inside, twisted it, pulled it, and pulled out a sharp dagger.

"Is it necessary?" Chen Ke asked. He knew that Xu Jing must be carrying a holy object on him, and it would be much faster to summon the holy object with bare hands than to take out a hidden weapon from the umbrella handle.

"Chen Ke, we are going to Langdon in 1859. Before 1910, humans had not discovered the existence of psychic power, let alone the supernatural. If it is not absolutely necessary, please do not use the supernatural power recklessly, okay?" Xu Jing said.

"Whatever you say, I hope I don't even need to use this thing." Chen Ke inserted the dagger into the umbrella.

Langdon, is London... The names of cities in this world are all messed up...

In 1859, at the peak of the first industrial revolution, humans entered the steam age, which was also an important stage in the history of capitalist development.

Machines replaced handicrafts, and factory assembly lines created huge productivity. At the same time, social relations also underwent drastic changes. Since then, the industrial bourgeoisie and the industrial proletariat were born.

The whole world entered an era of urbanization and industrialization, which also brought about severe pollution, extreme exploitation and oppression, and various absurd cannibalism stories.

And Langdon City is the center of all these changes.

"Wait a minute...are we...going to travel through time and space?" Chen Ke suddenly asked.

"It's jumping between beads...Chen Ke, time doesn't exist. Are you nervous? I thought you were used to it." Xu Jing said.

Chen Ke was not nervous about traveling through time and space. According to his previous experience of traveling from the Vanhede Great Void and the 2006 Death World, every time he went in and out, and then returned to the City of Opportunity, a long time had passed here...

It was nothing in the past, but Diana and Wang Ailin were still on Lin Yayin's list. He didn't want to find out that he couldn't even catch up with the first seven days of the two girls when he came back...

Besides...he was still carrying a bunch of contracts on his back, and he had to get the Symbiotic Stone.

"What are you hesitating about, Chen Ke?" Xu Jing saw what Chen Ke was thinking.

"When we come back, I don't want it to be a long time since we came here..." Chen Ke pinched the brim of his hat and looked at Xu Jing.

"Well... I thought you didn't dare to face that Chen Ke." Xu Jing smiled.

"I'm not afraid." Chen Ke snorted.

"Now is... June 19, 2009, 14:22." Xu Jing took out a silver pocket watch from her pocket.

She showed the dial to Chen Ke, and Chen Ke saw that the second hand on the watch did not move.
