When life is full of variables and a little bit of happiness is hard to find, life will inevitably become cheap.
Sometimes, the banks of the Thames and the tops of some monuments are lined with people waiting to commit suicide. It is so common that if you pick up the newspaper every day, it is almost impossible to find news about suicide.
Sunday.
Thanks to the resurgence of the epidemic, workers no longer have a year-round holiday, and they begin to enjoy unpaid vacations.
Lu Li preferred to call it: laid off.
"This pie...is so salty!"
Duke held a thin pie in his hand, which was filled with various minced meats. The quality of the meat was not extremely bad, and it was edible, but there were a lot of coarse salt particles, which was a bit harsh on the throat.
"It's okay. The one I have is tasteless. Black pepper alone can't cover up the fishy smell of pork."
Pan Ming sighed helplessly.
On the side, Lu Li missed his little boy Mi Gao a little, and he planned to call his apprentice over to cook.
"Just bear with it a little longer. We've already found a new cook. We'll have delicious meals by night at the latest."
This voice sounded a little old. It was none other than Mr. Vincent, who had stayed up late and worked overtime. He was drinking the coffee he brewed, holding a piece of pie in his hand, and his expression was particularly painful.
"Shock! Market vendors committed mass suicide! 》
Not far from the dining table, there was an open newspaper, which introduced a vicious murder case to the citizens.
Of course, Scotland Yard is always better informed than the media people. As early as three hours ago, Lu Li had faintly heard the report coming from the next room.
Late last night, there were mass deaths of vendors in several garden markets next to Whitehall Street, involving as many as 180 people.
[Thirty tents of various sizes, including the diners, were all killed by strange beings. Because only weird and unknown things can make people do this kind of behavior that goes against common sense. 】
[These victims disembowelled themselves, and all the organs in their stomachs disappeared without a trace. In addition, not even a drop of blood was spilled, as if there was nothing inside. 】
"The inspector in charge of the area claimed that the victims still had expressions of pleasure on their faces as they enjoyed the food, holding carving knives and forks in their hands, and seemed to have no time to show fear..."
Lu Li drank milk while recalling the conversations coming from the chief's office.
Even the most experienced inspectors are insignificant in the face of supernatural forces.
In addition, Scotland Yard headquarters was also implicated to a certain extent. Cooks brought holy water and firearms to surrounding markets to purchase fresh meat and vegetables.
As a result, he was eaten by a group of children.
That's right, when he heard the news, Lu Li instantly got up from his desk.
In the context of the revival of the spiritual tide, not only the mentally ill patients in the lunatic asylum have been strengthened, but the children have also become particularly dangerous.
According to eyewitnesses, the cheerful laughter of children could be heard in the thick fog, and then screams were heard. When the clergy arrived, only blood stains and shattered chef clothes were left on the ground.
There is an old saying in the East, the king of hell is not afraid of hungry ghosts.
A group of people at the headquarters worked all night long and worked nearly a whole morning. They had to eat something to replenish their energy. In desperation, Duke took his new friend Giant Wade Rowe to a farther market to purchase food.
The two of them found a stall that was still open in the empty market. The owner was a laid-off worker. He brought sugar, coarse salt, peppermint oil and other ingredients from home, picked up a few pots from the ground, and started business.
Because of this, the gentlemen of Scotland Yard were treated to one of the most special meals ever. The meatloaf was either too salty, too sweet to eat, or tasteless.
At the dinner table, everyone complained about the craftsmanship of the worker brothers, but at the same time, they also felt quite sad.
People are dying everywhere, and those who have some conditions at home are cowering away and dare not go out. Only the people at the lowest level still insist on fighting to maintain the last trace of vitality and vitality in the city.
"That boy Wensley, he must not have overslept, right? This old man like me has been on duty for him all day. If he doesn't come back..."
The old man took a sip of yogurt mixed with gin, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes. He knew the apprentice he had promoted very well. He was humble and extremely diligent in his work. Therefore, as long as his health allowed, he would definitely come...
Thinking of this, Vincent put his hand into his pocket and glanced at his pocket watch. His anxiety became more intense. He planned to send two groups of police officers to the apartment where Wensley was staying.
These actions were all under Lu Li's watchful eye.
"Sir, Officer Wensley is temporarily unable to perform his duties. He is currently sleeping in St. Paul's Cathedral."
As he spoke, a handwritten letter was handed over.
The above content was written by Wensley before he lay down in the Eternal Cabinet. Lu Li did not open it and read it, but he just vaguely explained his situation and comforted the teacher not to worry too much.
"I see."
After leaving a word, the old man walked towards the office with a cup filled with yogurt mixed with wine.
Vaguely, Lu Li saw Vincent's lips trembling slightly.
This damn woman...
It seems that Wensley mentioned Miss Meacham.
After the interlude, only Lu Li and a group of cosplayers were left at the dinner table, as well as the giant Wade Lowe.
Not long ago, this gentleman, who was awakened from his eternal sleep, said that he should bury me again and that the tomb must be reinforced more tightly.
But after following Duke for a walk around the streets, he was greatly shocked. The supposedly bustling streets became extremely deserted, and the children who were originally regarded as angels became the representatives of the devil.
At a glance, hundreds of years have passed, and the reigning monarch is a monarch named Queen Victoria.
When I opened my eyes again, a few days passed, and the city became even stranger, with ominous presences spreading fear and death everywhere.
What shocked Giant Wade Lowe the most was what Duke said to him:
"Have you ever seen a city in the final stage of disease? There is killing and devouring everywhere. As the final winner disintegrates itself, civilization dies."
Before entering the examination room, the two classes jointly participated in a unique vacation that took into account study and entertainment. However, many people were so motivated that they gave up their vacation and went to infected cities to watch how civilization withered and people changed. How the aberrations born in the body perform the art of killing.
Among them, the observation group composed of Lu Li, Duke, and Pan Ming had the most rich experience.
If the weirdness is not suppressed in time, the city will be reduced to ruins by the time the exam ends.
This is a fact, even Lu Li, who got the cheat, has to admit: no one can always feel relaxed and comfortable in the exam scene.
The entrance placement test is destined to become the paradise that all actors dream of.
At this moment, the cyborg giant Wade Lowe was hunkering down, half-sitting on the floor, thinking: What can I, a deceased person from a hundred years ago, do for this era?
Except for Killing the Queen.
