Lengyutian Prison.
Lu Li found some clues on the underground floor. It was a prison. The iron locks were loose and rust would fall off at the slightest touch.
Vaguely, Lu Li saw a few words, and combined with his knowledge of the city of London, he recognized where this place was.
A prison located on the south bank of the Thames.
So, he was randomly teleported here?
If you want to go to Chidswell Street or the Financial City to join the crowd, you have to cross half of the city.
Today is different from the past.
This world is full of strangeness and unknowns, even Sherlock Holmes and the Archbishop of Canterbury know nothing about it.
Therefore, the quieter it is, the more dangerous it is.
Lu Li thought.
He lingered in the underground prison for a long time, and after confirming that nothing else was found, he continued to explore down the stone stairs.
As expected, Lengyutian Prison has four floors, of which only one is on the ground. There are more than 200 cells in total and can accommodate 1,200 prisoners.
This was said by Mr. Jones, the leader of the fraternity association, and Lu Li remembered it clearly.
The reason why I mentioned this place is because after a certain labor movement was suppressed by the authorities, the workers were still sent here. The prison that could only accommodate more than a thousand people suddenly had an influx of nearly 6,000 people.
Almost shoulder to shoulder, the smell of feces and various stenches filled the entire prison. More than half of the prisoners contracted cholera, and eventually at least 1,500 workers became corpses.
Because of this, Mr. Jones would mention this prison in private conversations, which was his lifelong obsession.
"What were you talking about at that time..."
Lu Li murmured, casually pulled out the Sword of Sadhu from the staff, and walked towards the last floor. He didn't believe that there was nothing wrong with such a huge prison!
Unfortunately, this is really the case.
Apart from a pickaxe, Lu Li found nothing in the main structure of the prison.
There were no prisoners, no daily necessities, and not even the most basic torture instruments were seen. There were only empty rooms, some made of wood and some made of iron.
Empty city?
Lu Li was the first to not believe it.
Unable to detect anything unusual, he carried his bag and sword and walked outside.
On the way, I recalled the conversation at that time in my mind. To be precise, it was Mr. Jones’ rather self-blaming sigh:
"The bodies were buried nearby, and because the grave was only small, the gravediggers broke them into pieces and piled them together to try to fill the hole."
"It is said that each corpse was mixed with other corpses, buried too much, stuffed, full of bones, and the ground was seeped with foul-smelling liquid, causing all nearby plants to die."
"I often dream that all the dead in the city will rise from their graves one day. They are so densely packed that even the tips of needles can't fit in the streets...The dead will fill the hills and valleys of the city, completely surrounding the city."
This is not alarmist.
Several times, when Lu Li passed by the slums of Whitechapel District, he saw corpses lying in the soil, with only some soil and a few partitions between living people.
One layer after another.
The dead are encroaching on the space of the living.
Of course, Lu Li only thought of these based on what Mr. Jones said.
At this moment, he had a vague hunch in his heart that the area he just stepped on contained danger.
Da da da……
The sound of rain falling could be heard in the distance, accompanied by Lu Li's footsteps. Of course, he was not the only one walking around.
Subconsciously, a smile appeared on his face and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Li left the underground level and returned to the ground, he saw something blocking him.
Darkness is its best protective color, because there is no light coming in, and the entire area is dark, coupled with fog and water droplets. When ordinary people encounter this situation, they would have already stepped forward carelessly, and then took the initiative to get into the monster's mouth.
It was a huge thing, and it was also an extremely disgusting corpse.
It was about three meters tall. Although it was not as good as the mechanical giant Wade Rowe, it still required Lu Li to raise his head to look up.
"Giant View?"
There was certainty in his tone.
The experimental subject of several anatomy classes was the view of giants. To be precise, this is a corpse phenomenon——
After a person dies, although the life process ends, the putrefactive bacteria that parasitized in the human body during life are still active and grow and multiply crazily without the constraints of the immune system.
Of course, it can appear in humans, but it can also occur in prehistoric animals, and it can also occur in some exotic creatures.
And they can all be seen in Assistant Professor Bai's dissecting room and dissected by himself.
Such is the case with the giant in front of me.
The whole face was swollen like a pig's head, the eyes were all protruding, and the lips were like sausages and turned out.
Since he had no clothes, Lu Li's eyes were glowing with green light and he could even see the corrupt giant's dirty green skin and its spider web-like veins.
"The only special thing is that there is no foul smell..."
Amid the whispers, a loud popping sound came.
A circle-shaped organization jumped out from behind the corrupt giant, and then, dark green smoke curled up, and there was a sputtering sound.
A large amount of black liquid and floc fell down, like pus and blood, or like rotting large and small intestines, and the stench of the garbage dump came from far away.
swish swish...
While Lu Li held his breath, the sound of footsteps came again, one layer after another, like ocean waves.
Phew!
Phew!
The surrounding air turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Lu Li even suspected that these corrupt giants wanted to use this extremely disgusting method to humiliate and kill him.
Hiccup...
Before the plague-like gas was completely spit out from the corrupt giant's mouth, Lu Li took action directly. He avoided using some skills that would cause bright holy light, and just muttered in a low voice when the holy robe isolated a clean area:
“And by the sweat of your brow you shall eat your bread, until you return to the dust, for from the dust you came; for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.”
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Wherever you come out, you will return.
This is a sacred art about laws. There are no fancy scenes, and there is no movement. Everything happens in silence.
But the result was beyond Lu Li's expectations.
I thought that all the corrupt giants would turn into powder and fall to the ground like dust. This is a line of notes written next to the church's collection of the Bible, which clearly states that it will have such an effect on creatures crawling out of the ground.
But they just left a stench all over the ground, turned around and walked outside. After a while, there was nothing left in the prison except bursts of stench.
Lu Li casually released a weak holy light shield that isolated the surroundings, and walked out silently without being conspicuous in the darkness.
To be cautious, he did not deliberately ignore the stench and filth under his feet, but instead looked at it carefully.
