Victoria!
Moderate mourning is respect for the deceased;
Excessive grief is the enemy of the living.
Years of persuasion from ministers and attendants made the Queen reluctantly return, and she decided to attend the opening ceremony of the Holborn Viaduct.
However, after completing this matter, the elderly monarch will rush back to Paddington Station and take a special train back to Windsor Castle.
Performing public duties bit by bit means sending a signal to the outside world that "the Queen is trying her best to get rid of her sorrow and is about to return to normal" to stabilize people's hearts.
Unfortunately, this good start was ruined by an unpredictable person. The singing in the distance made Victoria feel disappointed, but she did not show it and was not afraid of the assassination that could come at any time.
You know, in the first half of her life, the Queen experienced a total of seven assassinations, and there were even two assassinations only a few days apart.
at the same time.
The guard leader looked up at the place where the sound came from. The rifle bullets were loaded.
At the end of the street, an unusually tall figure stood, like a giant walking out of mythology and ancient history. He sang a sarcastic song repeatedly.
Then, gunfire rang out.
The captain of the guard didn't pay attention to the other party's exaggerated posture and directly pulled the trigger.
Unfortunately, the bullet only grazed the arm, leaving a bloodstain on it. In addition, it angered the giant and he ran over.
Of course, the speed at which the monster explodes is very limited, like a heavy elephant.
Not long after, the streetlight illuminated the assassin's appearance clearly. He had wild hair like a lion's mane, a thick beard, and was full of wild aura.
"There's something weird about this guy."
Lu Li whispered. He could clearly see the trajectory of the bullet. It was clearly hitting the heart straight away. However, 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 launched his charge, gunshots rang out, and the royal guards raised their guns to fire, creating bursts of gunpowder smoke.
The gentlemen on the road also took up arms and fought back, such as Officer Wensley.
At this moment, this gentleman with a strong sense of justice had taken out his revolver to defend the Queen.
In any case, the person sitting in the car is the monarch of the country. When they see Victoria in crisis with their own eyes, the citizens' dormant sense of loyalty is gradually awakened.
Among the crowd, Bai Yu, Zhao Feng, and Gao Qian were eager to try. This had nothing to do with loyalty. It was purely to participate in big events and improve the final evaluation.
However, everything must be arranged by Lu Li and cannot be acted upon without authorization.
As a result, the three of them silently and quickly moved towards Lu Li while staring at the strange man.
Frankly speaking, the power of primitive firearms is really limited. Most of the cosplayers can ignore bullet attacks. But that weirdo did not receive the bullets head-on, but still used that weird method to transfer all the damage and let them pass by. Pass.
"Too low-level..."
Seeing this, Bai Yu couldn't help but muttered. Except for the strange hound that hunted them last night, the tension had never appeared before.
"Don't go in yet, the royal guards can't be dealt with so easily."
Lu Li knew what the three of them were planning without asking, so he warned in a deep voice: "Let this monster test the water first, and let's sit back and watch and figure out the situation."
Queen Victoria ruled nearly 36 million square kilometers of territory and led a large number of slave states. How could she easily receive a box lunch?
As soon as the thought fell, wisps of light golden mist that could not be seen by the naked eye continued to pour out from the body of a cardinal. He had been staying silently beside the Queen's car, like a sculpture, acting as a mascot.
But when the bullets were ineffective, the bishop finally moved. He said a mass and whispered: "The Lord says that those who betray glory and offend authority will be punished."
As soon as he finished speaking, a spear made of light rushed towards the weirdo with great momentum.
In an instant, the strange force field disappeared, the light spear passed through the chest, and the giant monster fell.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it died from random gunfire, so the crowd immediately burst into cheers. The gentlemen felt like medieval warriors, defending the monarch.
The bishop who actually took action lowered his hand silently, hiding his merit and fame.
In the crowd, Bai Yu and others had solemn expressions.
"I smell death."
"Can't catch 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 his own force ceiling could break through the second line of defense around the Queen.
As for the first line of defense, they are just ordinary firearms. As long as you are an extraordinary person, you can easily tear them apart.
"I haven't fought, so I don't know."
Lu Li whispered, "But the other party's methods don't seem to be effective on me."
"Um?"
The three people expressed doubts.
Unfortunately, Lu Li had no intention of explaining in detail. He was carefully looking at the monster that fell on the charging road.
With a figure of nearly four meters tall, it doesn't look like much from a distance, but upon closer inspection, the left and right arms are actually different sizes and seem to be pieced together.
In addition, after his death, blood instantly filled his irises, and his two eyeballs exploded like toys, startling the approaching guards.
"Man, change of plans."
Lu Li looked at Wensley, who had put away his gun, and said in a deep voice, "Are you capable of taking over the assassin's body?"
"Forget it."
Wensley shook his head and sighed: "The aftermath will be arranged by the Queen herself, and Scotland Yard is not qualified to intervene for the time being."
boom! Bang bang!
The sound of additional gunshots came.
In order to ensure that the monster was completely dead, the guards fired two more rounds. After a while, the giant monster lying on the ground had no intact skin from his ankles to his face, and was covered with dense bullet holes.
"Mechanical creation? It doesn't look like it. It's a semi-mechanical body that combines flesh and blood with technology."
Thanks to the guards, Lu Li saw many gears and objects similar to steam engines through the bullet holes. He murmured, "You have to tell Duke, he will definitely be particularly interested in this ghost thing."
In an era when steam engines were just popular, robots actually appeared. Although their intelligence was not much better than that of wild beasts and they could only repeat one sentence, they were still amazing.
What is the principle?
Alchemy, magic, or something else.
Can it bring inspiration to 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 Whitechapel District Police Station to help take care of the wandering warbler."
After saying this, Officer Wensley left in a hurry after saying hello, as did many gentlemen. They said goodbye to their female companions and followed the Queen in her car to leave Regent Street.
This is a tradition.
Decades ago, Victoria was riding a horse to visit her mother and encountered an assassin on the way. The surrounding male citizens immediately formed an escort to escort her back to the palace, cheering warmly along the way.
You know, it's a matter of decency.
