Chapter 81 The Actor (1)(1/2)
"Obsession, every time the spiritual tide revives, this emotion will cause great trouble to the order of the world."
"But it's inevitable, because everyone will have obsessions."
The Archbishop of Canterbury lamented that he could not give Lu Li the most correct answer yet, but he could provide some ideas and past examples.
In fact, most of the supernatural events that occurred in this country can be found in the Anglican Church's archives.
Especially those disasters that have a major impact.
A few minutes later.
Lu Li had a certain understanding of the incident he encountered in the cafe. Beings like Miss Meacham, who were obsessed with love, would generally not have a huge impact on social order.
In fact, it is easy to understand that others are resentful of society and other people, or are dissatisfied to some extent.
Therefore, once these people are targeted by evil gods, their minds are deeply distorted, and they gain strength through this, they will definitely become very radical. To put it bluntly, they will retaliate against society and attack everyone indiscriminately——
Devil dogs are the best example.
The obsession with love is different. One party just wants to make up for regrets, be with the one he loves, and live without interruption.
Therefore, out of a hundred such cases, there are only a few victims.
It is worth mentioning that at present, whether Officer Wensley is a victim is still open to question. Maybe this guy is enjoying it.
After thinking about this, Lu Li decided to leave after being delayed for a while due to an incident. He had to follow the scent and find the Wensley he knew as soon as possible to confirm his condition.
Next to them, the Archbishop of Canterbury also noticed that Lu Li did not want to go back to the church with them, but he did not intend to extend an invitation again. Anyway, they were friends rather than enemies, and the situation had not yet deteriorated to an irreversible point. There was an opportunity for in-depth communication, so there was no need to rush.
"If you encounter any trouble, you are welcome to go to the church for help at any time." The Archbishop of Canterbury smiled. The whole city has thousands of gardens, large and small, corresponding to the churches.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Fog City has the largest number of clergy in the world. Compared with the Papal State, it is only more dense.
"Of course, it will be troublesome then."
Lu Li smiled, naturally he would not refuse.
After all, it's hard to find a thigh. If you don't pluck the wool hard, you'd be really stupid.
You know, whether it's precious books hidden deep in the church's library or various weapons and props, they are all good things.
In addition, if you confirm that Wensley's current situation is not good and you are determined to save him, you will have to go to the church.
Originally, I planned to go to Mr. Holmes and find a way to solve the problem from him. However, after getting to know the Archbishop of Canterbury, there was no need to bother him anymore——
Due to traveling through time and space, the way of acquaintance and the scene have changed. The relationship with the great detective is not close to each other, but it is not that cordial anymore. We meet occasionally to chat and ask some questions.
Maybe things will change by getting rid of Pan Ming, but will Lu Li do this?
the other side.
Technology geek Duke has made a new discovery.
As his companions left one after another, he also entered work mode and took up residence in the morgue.
Although there is no Doraemon butler to help as an assistant, Bernard, his former protégé, is not stupid and can serve as an assistant very well, such as:
Cut up the body and go to the nearby archives to check the relevant files summarized by the royal guard.
It is a pity that there is no similar incident in history, not even one.
Of course, there are many related records about giants. In the week after the assassination, royal investigators dug out all the files on giant creatures, and then they really got some substantial files.
On the outskirts of London, there is a huge tomb. The owner is a 22-year-old aristocratic young man. He was born two centuries ago. A brief revival of spiritual tide caused him to break through his physical limits.
However, the spiritual tide came and went quickly, giving the young man an exaggerated height, but not the corresponding strength and physique. Due to the infection of ankle blisters, this fragile giant unfortunately died.
According to historical records, his coffin weighed two tons and had to be carried by thirty adult men as pallbearers and three draft horses.
In addition, in order to prevent curious people from digging the grave, his family buried it in a vaulted solid concrete.
"Wade Lowe?"
Looking at the portrait stuffed in the file bag, Duke nodded. The facial contours of the two were highly similar, and it was almost certain that the Queen's attacker was this dead man from more than two hundred years ago.
Some ambitious people dug him out of the grave and transformed him into a mechanical life.
"This guy is so pitiful. His grave was dug up twice after his death."
Bernard looked at the completely divided giant corpse in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
First, it was dug out by careerists and subjected to taboo transformation. Then the people who stole the body backfilled the tomb to make it appear that everything had happened. Not long after, another group of royal investigators came, and they didn't care about maintenance.
The dignity of the deceased directly digs the grave, leaving no trace behind.
Frankly speaking, Duke has the royal investigators to thank for helping narrow down the options.
Quietly lay in the tomb for two centuries, and was suddenly disturbed, and became what it is now.
At first glance, it may be related to the revival of the spiritual tide, but why can't it be caused by the arrival of the actor?
Duke has been in this world for some time, and he has a general idea. During the large-scale recovery of the spiritual tide, some extraordinary things already exist, but they are all in the dormant stage. Even if there is any conspiracy and must come out to act, it will not be possible.
Be extremely cautious.
How is it possible to provoke the queen?
In other words, even if you have ulterior motives, you must find a suitable time to kill Queen Victoria, for example:
Last night, for the first time, the spiritual tide surged, and a large number of creatures became extraordinary. Those beings who had already embarked on the extraordinary journey have developed by leaps and bounds in strength.
Don't you have to wait a few days to expose your existence in advance and attract the attention of relevant parties?
Maybe Duke took it for granted, but he felt that his logic was correct:
Not only would there be no benefit to assassinating the Queen in advance, but it would also cause a lot of irritation, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
Only the actors are thinking about making trouble, and there are no taboos in their actions, as long as they can make the scene bigger.
Thinking about it this way, there is even evidence.
There are traces for everything.
A large number of similar cases can be found in the East District serial murder case. Even "Justice Johnny", a private detective, experienced one at the beginning of his career.
The same goes for the Tully Street fire.
So why are there no records of mechanical life?
The royal family and the church, these two forces possess information that is unimaginable to ordinary people, and power that is difficult to fathom. They have joined forces and been busy for a whole week, but they have not found any clues, which can explain the problem.
One, or a group of actors, did not take the future technological route, but chose another path, developing into the mysterious field, and learned things like alchemy and magic to meet the needs of the current era.
In this way, you won't receive the principal's attention, you can do whatever you want, and you can bring some new tricks to the world.
Of course, Duke has no direct evidence to prove his point of view, but various signs and his own intuition point to the actor.
"Oh, let's not worry about it for now. It's only right to repair everything."
It's true that there are two separate lines. Although the field of future mechas and the field of ancient alchemy belong to the same technological line, there are still big differences.
Thanks to Duke's good talent, his brain has reached an incredible level through the development of a large number of pharmaceuticals. Otherwise, it would be difficult to get started.
After gathering his mind, he quickly analyzed the internal parts of the giant in his mind and roughly calculated the principle of movement. In fact, it was almost like a mechanical watch.
After winding, various parts gain power and start to rotate. Then, the power contained inside is released from the gems...
After closing his eyes and simulating it in his mind, Duke began to verify it. He walked to the original assembled workbench, began to hand-draw various parts, and thought about what type of battery to use so that it would not be disabled by the principal.
To be honest, for a scientist who can build a second-generation pinnacle mecha, the battery process is not that complicated, and it can be done even under simple conditions.
There are only two doubts.
The principal believed that this approach was inconsistent with the original agreement, or that the battery technology was too advanced, so he banned it.
If it's the latter, Duke can reduce the technical content again and create the most original low-profile version.
According to the original historical development, mankind has entered the electrical age at the end of the 19th century, and the antique TV was invented in the 18th century.
But... this brings up the second question. Can the technology with low technological content be able to provide the power to make the giant move?
After dismantling it, Duke discovered that the giant's body was composed of hundreds of modules, and each module was composed of functional gems and a large number of parts.
The latter has poor technical content. If you polish the gears and use other areas as templates, you can also repair the damaged areas, which is energy supply...
Is it possible to use a small horse and a large cart?
Finally, Duke settled down and began to devote his energy to parts processing.
"Failed?"
"There is absolutely nothing wrong with the principle, and there is no problem with the workmanship... I guess it didn't meet the requirements and was interfered with."
"Lower your requirements."
"It's not possible...keep lowering it."
There were constant whispers in the morgue, and Bernard couldn't help. He could only stand aside and watch to see if he could learn anything.
And Duke is also willing to teach. After all, it is too difficult to save the world through studying medicine. It is still science... no, heraldry!
Duke suddenly stood up.
"Do you have any silver coins lying around?"
To be continued...
