Bang!
The ground trembled slightly.
The street lights scattered in the distance all exploded.
The center point of the explosion came from a metal processing factory, but with the help of the sky-high flames, it was vaguely possible to see clearly that the factory building was built with multiple layers of iron sheets and shelves. It melted rapidly in the fierce flames, and the top floor was crumbling.
Obviously, Lu Li underestimated the power of this magical technique after it was emitted by himself.
Countless spiders hiding in the dark began to flee. This was their survival instinct. They did not want to follow the footsteps of their companions in the factory, so they decisively gave up the food they had finally hunted, crawled quickly with their limbs, and spewed spider silk to drag themselves.
Tear!
Lu Li raised a werewolf-shaped finger and scratched the spider web as hard as metal wire. Wensley was saved, but he could not speak.
The consciousness is drowsy, flexible, and a memory from an unfamiliar area is constantly interfering.
The middle-aged police officer could no longer open his eyes. He was looking for the way home. He woke up for a while from time to time, but found that he could not recognize the direction at all and could only walk around randomly.
At night, wandering around in the foggy city that is full of forbidden areas of life is as dangerous as a child holding gold in the market. Which monster wouldn't have the urge to take a bite?
Eventually, he was targeted by a group of spider-men.
They are not the beautiful fairies in Eastern mythology, but a group of rough men with extremely ugly looks. They use poisonous down to hunt, wrap their prey in spider silk, and finally inject high-strength digestive enzymes into it to break down the flesh and blood into A sweet and delicious liquid.
The reason why Lu Li was so sure was because he had found several such corpses in the sea of fire. The victims were made into delicious jelly, and from time to time, spiders would come over and take a bite, until the inside was empty and only a layer of skin remained. , hang in a certain area to dry.
"Fortunately, you didn't turn into a humanoid specimen."
Looking at Wensley, who was still breathing weakly in front of him, Lu Li sighed. Because of Miss Meacham's obsession with love, this upright police officer with a bright future became what he is now, but because of her, the Spider-Man could not save him. Make human orange juice.
There was no accident. It was definitely the lady who ran the cafe who protected Wensley. Otherwise, why wouldn't Spider-Man follow his hunting instinct? In other words, how could he not be able to hurt him?
With his thoughts turning quickly, Lu Li put his hand on the police officer's chest and began to recite the psalm:
"My Lord, please lift up a shield for me and drive away the pain from my mind with my glory."
The first to use this type of magic.
In an instant, a ball composed of red-gold light enveloped the two of them, with lines similar to angel wings floating on the outer layer.
Officer Wensley, whose face was originally as pale as paper, recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his cheeks gradually turned red, but that was all. The magic used to protect him still could not bring him back to consciousness, but only allowed his vital signs to recover. become smooth.
"You are my refuge, my solid tower against foreign enemies. I will remain devoutly under your chapel for all my life, always believing in the hidden power of your wings."
Lu Li tried the second magical technique. It involved many aspects, had an extremely wide range of effects, and took the longest time to chant. It had both protection and offense.
Of course, neither he nor Officer Wensley wanted to attack.
The moment the magic took effect, both of them were shrouded in holy light at the same time. From the inside to the outside, they were full of brilliance, making them look like the sons of God descending from heaven.
If Lu Li entered the werewolf form, the scene would be even more bizarre, but he didn't care about that at the moment because Officer Wensley finally woke up.
"Ahem...where is this?"
Looking at the sea of fire above his head and the charred Spider-Man, Wensley's face was blank. He remembered that he left No. 4 Whitehall Street early because he was too tired.
On the way, because I was too hungry, I went to Taihe Building, an Oriental restaurant that had closed down a long time ago. Then there were two wandering orioles, who were driven away by me, and then...
Appearing in this damn place, Mr. Lu Li was in front of me.
"You have to ask yourself that."
Lu Li was helpless. It could be seen from Officer Wensley's behavior that he didn't know anything and couldn't ask anything valuable.
Monster corpses... sea of fire... Lu Li...
Combining the scene in front of him, Wensley roughly deduced what happened to him.
"I'm going to trouble Mr. Lu again this time."
The police officer shook his head and felt much more energetic, but his body was still uncomfortable, as if he hadn't taken a shower for more than ten years, and suddenly he wiped all the dust away. His body was so light that it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
"nothing."
Lu Li didn't talk much about this. He was just concerned about Wensley's health and what impact that guy who suddenly appeared in the cafe had on him.
In this way, Lu Li told what he saw and heard tonight. Of course, he didn't mention what happened at the Fly House. He just talked about the corner cafe and Miss Meacham.
Young, beautiful, masters many skills, runs a cafe, and has a clean life experience.
Adding these together, even a noble young man or the heir of a big capitalist would not dislike her. In other words, Miss Meacham like this is completely worthy of Wensley.
perhaps……
This must be what the girl regretted the most.
In order to struggle out of the quagmire, she had no choice but to become a wandering warbler. However, in order to improve herself and get rid of this state of being bullied by men, she continued to study, became able to write poetry, and played the piano. Finally, she lived a decent life and ran a coffee shop. pavilion.
I thought I would never meet love again in this life, but then I met Wensley, a law enforcer with a sense of justice who had just graduated from college.
She falls in love with him, planning a future while hiding her infamous past.
As for regrets?
This kind of emotion is too childish. If a girl wants to get out of the abyss, that's the only way to do it. If she wants to improve herself, that's the only way to become a decent and well-educated girl.
After leaving the cafe, Lu Li tried to think from Miss Meacham's point of view, and couldn't help but sympathize with her. Only the revival of the spiritual tide can save all regrets, right?
After listening to Lu Li's story, Wensley fell into silence. He did not expect that he was abnormal and was almost hunted by a monster, all because of his old love.
Due to Meacham's obsession, his soul split and he entered a weak state...
But really speaking of resentment, Wensley didn't have any negative emotions in his heart.
"I didn't expect that she would lead her life so badly after I left."
The police officer sighed. He didn't bother about why Lu Li knew that past incident. It was probably what Meacham said -
He revealed his love experience before traveling through time and space, but as the timeline and causality line changed, Wensley did not remember this experience and didn't care much about it.
At this moment, he was obsessed with memories of the past, rubbing his hair with regret and annoyance.
If you love each other but can't be together, you can only separate decisively. Before leaving without saying goodbye, Wensley left a huge sum of money and hoped that the other party could live a good life and gain something in both career and love.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
For ten years, Meacham's life was unsatisfactory, he had no intention of running a cafe, and he lived a passable life on Chizwell Street, all day long.
When he thought of this, Wensley couldn't help but sigh.
But... can they really be together?
Ten years have passed since the last time we saw each other. His parents and elders have all died one after another. All those obstacles have disappeared, and Wensley has become a loner.
Nowadays, he is alone, and has achieved a breakthrough in his career. He has become a senior police superintendent second only to several old men. It will not be long before he will be in charge of police work like the greater London area.
When he reaches that level, he will definitely be awarded an honorary title by Her Majesty the Queen. Although he has never accepted other love, Wensley knows that many noble ladies and girls from rich families are staring at him.
In the short silence, Wensley thought of a lot, but he still didn't think clearly.
All external factors have disappeared, and those who knew Meacham's past were either buried in the soil or went to other cities over time. No one knows those secrets.
But... Wen Sili still didn't want to accept the fact that his lover had been a homeless man.
Seeing his friend's tangled expression, Lu Li sighed helplessly. He also had a headache in love, and it was most difficult for him to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman. This was absolutely true.
However, things always have to come up with a solution. Judging from Wensley's situation, he would be greatly affected by splitting another self to accompany Miss Meacham.
If the situation does not continue to worsen, then it is not bad. The two powerful magical spells from the Psalm Collection have already made up for the relevant shortcomings. Apart from the discomfort caused by the splitting of the soul, there are no other negative effects.
I am worried that as time goes by, Wensley's physical condition will deteriorate rapidly, and by then, even magic will be difficult to restore.
After figuring out these key points, Lu Liyan said succinctly: "What are you going to do?"
As the person involved, he was the most qualified to make the decision, so Lu Li could just act based on his answer.
If Wensley accepted the worst outcome and was willing to give up his future and accept another life, then Lu Li would not stop him.
At the same time, Wensley also knew that he had no time to worry about it. He planned to go see Miss Meacham first, and then he could make a quick decision.
After hearing what the police officer said, Lu Li didn't say much. He waved his hand casually, and the factory building that was engulfed in flames immediately separated, and a passage appeared.
"The world is getting crazier."
As a person who experienced extraordinary events, Wensley felt powerless. Previously, he was a high-ranking law enforcer and the protector of the citizens of Fog City, but now he has become the object of protection.
A senior Scotland Yard employee actually needs protection from others, so why should he protect others?
There is another person in the world who longs for power.
Of course, Lu Li didn't know this. Now that he had determined Officer Wensley's situation and made clear the next step, he had to visit the archbishop.
Just like Sun Dasheng, who is seeking Buddhist scriptures in the West, when he encounters a difficult problem and finds that it cannot be solved by force, he can only visit the gods and Buddhas in the sky first, borrow some magic weapons specifically designed to restrain monsters, or ask for advice on the corresponding solution, in order to achieve success. Success.
It just so happened that the Archbishop of Canterbury also wanted to establish a relationship with him, so everyone got what they wanted.
Hundreds of meters away.
A factory loomed in the distance, illuminated by firelight.
As Lu Li left, the holy fire quickly extinguished, leaving the area once again shrouded in darkness and smoke.
One eye opened silently.
It looks like a giant octopus. It waves its sticky tentacles and slowly releases the things it protects under its body. Like a herbivore regurgitating its cud, a mucus-laden mass appears.
He shook his hands and feet and stretched his head. It seemed that he had been huddled in the corner for so long that some areas had become stiff.
"It's really scary. I didn't expect that a small place like ours would provoke big shots."
"I don't know if that person noticed it. Maybe not. Maybe he was pressed for time and was too lazy to pay attention to us."
With a creak, the door covered with fine cobweb dust was pushed open from the inside, and someone spoke.
"How about changing to another place?"
"I think so too."
In the darkness, the two of them smelled the remnants of the holy flame and sang together. Apparently they recognized Lu Li and planned to run away quickly.
There is light and darkness.
After entering the exam world, some actors like to be positive characters, some actors like to be unrestrained, both good and evil, and the last ones are obsessed with the charm of villains.
Fortunately, they became the beneficiaries of the revival of the spiritual tide, their strength was improved, and their abilities became more and more weird.
However, no one has the confidence to challenge Lu Li yet, even if he has something to worry about.
"Is that guy really that scary? We finally built the processing plant into what it is now."
Another voice sounded.
Then, footsteps came from the deepest part of the factory.
A seemingly normal man with hideously deformed legs came to the two of them.
"Start making a batch of tools first, and you must leave at midnight at the latest to prevent the other party from coming back to kill you."
No one was willing to introduce Lu Li's horror to him, and even if they did, the native in front of him would not understand what a top student was.
What's more, provoking Lu Li for no reason would do no good at all. It would be better to hide and pretend that nothing happened.
Two actors, a dark octopus and an alienated local aborigine.
Frankly speaking, this combination is particularly strange, and the masterpiece they completed together is the factory behind them——
From the outside, there is nothing unusual about it.
But these were all illusions. In order to prevent the smell from leaking out, the spider men spit out countless special threads inside the factory to seal the smell so tightly that even Lu Li didn't smell the smell.
Moreover, the two actors also knew how to erase the murderous intention in their hearts to prevent them from being perceived.
"All right."
"I believe you for once."
After finishing speaking, the man with deformed legs and feet took a deep look at his collaborator, turned around and walked back to the factory. If Lu Li hadn't suddenly visited, work would have started inside, and he would never have waited for now.
Not long after.
The smell of blood and wailing sounds were heard. In addition, there were extremely hidden soul fluctuations.
After a period of silence, the processing plant officially started construction tonight.
Raw material: humans.
