Friday.
Baker Street, filled with morning fog.
A chimney sweep knocked on the door.
"Sweep the dust! Sweep the dust!"
The sound of the bell was like a devil's call, waking Lu Li from his sleep.
To be more precise, the shouting sounded particularly familiar, reminding him of his good friend Duke, and he got up from the bed.
"Sir, we don't need this service. I suggest you come back in two weeks."
outside the door.
Michael, who was holding two bread sticks and a small package of lamb, explained patiently, "Actually, we just moved in not long ago, and the fireplace is very clean."
On the side, Duke felt something and raised his eyes to look above his head. Lu Li was waving towards him.
Seeing this, he looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Good day, sir~"
Mi Gao's energetic voice sounded. He really couldn't associate Lu Li with a run-down worker.
"come in."
Lu Li suppressed the doubts and surprises in his heart and explained to his little friend Mi Gao, "This is my friend."
friend?
Hearing this, Mi Gao felt that he had not woken up.
Duke, on the other hand, without saying a word, threw the chimney cleaning tools to the street, rushed up quickly, and went straight to the second floor.
If he hadn't taken care of the child beside him, he would have wanted to fly up and jump to the room on the second floor.
A few minutes later.
Mi Gao trotted out of the room. He needed to buy some more bread sticks and fresh meat.
Because Mr. Lu met his poor relatives in the countryside and prepared to entertain them well——
Black hair and black eyes, what are they if they are not relatives?
Xiaomi Gao praised his extraordinary insight.
At the same time, Duke did not know that it was so misunderstood. You must know that the fair president did not skimp on the initial funds:
nine pounds fifteen pence
Unified standards for all grades.
"You have such a good nose, you actually touched this place on the first day you entered the hospital."
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Duke put his hand on Lu Li's shoulder knowingly, "Brother, do you know who lives next to the house?"
"No. 23b lives with Mr. Gordon's family. He provides legal services to financial companies."
"Mrs. Pamela lives at No. 23c. She is a widow who lives alone and runs a high-end clothing store."
"The resident of No. 23d is a suburban rancher who is often away from home."
Lu Li knew a little bit about his neighbors.
"No!"
Duke seemed worried about Lu Li's slow response. He shook his shoulders and said word by word: "Sherlock Holmes."
"The famous detective written by Mr. Conan Doyle lived at 221 Baker Street!"
"If I hadn't accidentally glanced at the newspaper full of small advertisements, I almost forgot about this place."
Duke was a little emotional and his breathing became rapid. He had too many discoveries to share, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.
"Take it easy."
Although there were too many doubts in his heart, Lu Li calmed down and poured a glass of warm milk over, signaling Duke not to be too anxious.
"First tell me why you are dressed like this."
"Well……"
Duke put down the cup and saucer, looking a little embarrassed.
"Ahem...it's a long story."
"Long story short."
"All right."
Duke said helplessly: "Last night at midnight, I tried my luck in Whitechapel to see if I could catch the perverted killer who had the intention to kill Liu Ying, but I found nothing."
"Until I saw this advertisement for a house for rent in the newspaper where homeless people keep themselves warm."
As he spoke, he took out a torn newspaper from his arms.
"I originally wanted to rent it through legal channels, but the landlord who posted the rental information said that someone had already taken action."
"So, you dressed like this to find out who rented the house first?"
Lu Li was still confused.
"That's right."
Duke spread his hands and complained: "Brother, you don't know how forgetful that big fat guy named Johnny is."
"I asked him what the tenant's name was? He said he didn't know."
"I asked again, what facial features does the tenant have? He also said he didn't know."
"After asking for a long time, I found out that the person renting the house had black hair and a popular face."
At this point, Duke paused, suddenly stood up from the sofa, looked at Lu Li carefully from bottom to bottom, pinched his chin and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Although I don't want to admit it, you are very handsome and recognizable... "
This guy's unattractive appearance gave Lu Li a headache. He explained: "Exclusive skills can reduce my sense of presence. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people will not notice me at all. Even if I have a conversation, as time goes by, Gradually forget about me."
"Unique skill..."
Duke was speechless. He had never heard of such a weird skill. It was far from useless. On the contrary, it could play a big role at critical moments.
Just... tricked him.
At this time, Lu Li pointed out the embarrassing situation Duke was currently facing, "If you exchange for a bloodline, why bother?"
black hair.
There are not many Asian faces in the Twist City, and at this juncture, they suddenly moved into Baker Street.
No need to think too much, he must be a candidate from time travel.
The reason why Duke is dressed like this is most likely because it is not absolutely sure to deal with competitors who are ahead of the game.
"As long as you don't meet top students from other classes, it won't be a big problem."
Speaking, Duke defended himself: "And I did this just to be safe."
And indeed it is.
Even if they are unable to use cross-era weapons and lose the blessing of the power of the Eastern system, in terms of individual strength, Duke is still considered to be at the top of the entire grade, but it is no longer dominant.
And, as time goes by...
Since the occasion was wrong and he was in the middle of an exam, Lu Li didn't say much and just asked one more question:
"Is it possible to build mechas in this era?"
"able."
Duke scratched his head and added: "But the threshold is extremely high, so the principal gave me a compensation package to keep me up to date with the times."
"Then what did you choose in the end?" Lu Li regained his energy and asked.
"compensate."
"After all, I am limited by the lathe equipment. I want to carve out the second-generation machine, which requires a lot of energy, and we can only stay in this world for three months."
In order to save the last face of the scientist, Duke stopped pretending, took out a bullet from his arms, and said solemnly: "Heraldry, the principal has temporarily withdrawn my advanced knowledge in nuclear energy, power and other fields, and used it as a Substitution.”
"The pattern printed on this bullet can cause suppressive damage to dark creatures."
"Of course, this is only a part of heraldry. There are many things that cannot be explained immediately."
In any case, it was indeed a good thing to meet each other in the early morning of the third day, not to mention that Duke's newfound knowledge was very valuable.
Therefore, Lu Li temporarily stopped trying to persuade.
