A Weird Theater That Started In London

Look at the blackboard! The chalk is flying!

Without Yang Yuanyuan's reminder, a few sharp-eyed classmates have already discovered the abnormality.

Among them was Lu Li, who was staring straight at the blackboard - chalk dust fell down, and small characters appeared one by one:

Time: 1888 AD

Location: London in the Fog

Background: In 1829, Scotland Yard established a police system all over the city. Then, with the rise of the second industrial revolution, Britain became more and more prosperous in the Victorian era, and London was known as the capital of goodness in the world.

However, darkness and light go hand in hand!

Under the false prosperity, the low-level citizens have accepted too much unfair treatment. Disease, poverty, and alcoholism are the cause and effect of each other, which intensifies the division of the class, among which the East District is the most typical.

It is full of poor workers, down-and-out homeless people, first-time refugees, and of course countless hooligans and heinous criminals.

At the same time, the East District is also a gathering place for wandering warblers. After losing their jobs, they had to live here and barely make a living. There were as many as 60,000 at the peak.

clang!

The piece of chalk fell from mid-air as if it had lost its power, but everyone was still staring at the blackboard intently.

Because, the scenes that happened in front of them were tearing to pieces the worldview they had spent twenty years building.

Lu Li, this... this...

Duke trembled in his heart, his teeth chattered, and he stuttered for a long time, unable to even utter a complete sentence.

Shut up, the chalk is floating again.

After saying that, Lu Li let out a breath and tried his best to maintain calm, but the tense brows and lips betrayed his inner panic.

The blackboard was gargling, and occasionally there were a few teeth-stinging grinding sounds——

The degree of difficulty of this exam is extremely low, and the time limit is five days. The requirements are as follows:

1. Justice must prevail

(Join the lawful camp, assist the London military and police to maintain law and order, punish evil and promote good)

2. Justice Buster

(Joining the chaotic camp, what evil does not overwhelm the righteous? It's nonsense! How could you be missing in the city of sin, please make a fuss.)

Notice!

Those who die halfway will have their memories erased and expelled; those who perform poorly will be sent to the inferior class; those who are qualified will be sent to the ordinary class;

Dear students, please make a decision within 30 seconds and recite three times silently in your heart. If the time limit is exceeded, the school will randomly assign camps.

The chalk fell, and there was no sign of levitation. However, the classroom was extremely quiet.

Oppression, tension, fear and anxiety...

After all, when encountering such a situation for the first time, no one can resume thinking in a short time.

The placement test has officially begun!

Suddenly, a low and hoarse voice came to Lu Li's ears, and then he felt the scene around him twist and change.

In the haze, a double-storey apartment gradually solidified, with gardens, streets, Buckingham Palace, railways, chimneys... The line of sight continued to extend outwards, and finally a city was completely presented in front of you.

A detective from the Far East...has the title of a lord...unaccompanied...so far single.

For some reason, a strange memory was churning in Lu Li's mind, and it was entangled with his own memory.

pain!

The sting is unbearable!

He tried to struggle to get up, but suddenly his eyes went dark, and he passed out directly.

August 7, 1888.

Baker Street, morning mist.

Click——

The door opened, and a young man with black hair and black eyes came to the corridor, found a step and sat down, staring at the pedestrians on the street in a daze.

The well-dressed men strode forward with hard-soled leather shoes and canes, with an indescribable pride on their bodies, as if the whole world was revolving around them.

Ladies wearing black veils look luxurious and exquisite. The red leg sleeves extend down the arm and narrow suddenly at the forearm. The contrast brings out the small and cute wrist, while the skirt drags all the way to the foot, just like the Out of the fairy tale princess.

All the scenes in front of me are illusory but real.

Previously, Lu Li really couldn't figure out how anyone in the world could be so bored that he would spare no expense to organize a grand scam, just to deceive a group of students who hadn't entered the society yet.

It wasn't until a lady stepped on horse manure, threw up without restraint, and cursed a passing coachman loudly that he realized the reality.

This is not a prank, as the blackboard said, he came to the foggy city at the end of the nineteenth century.

By my troth, I was seeking for a fool when I found you.

(I swear, I was looking for a fool and I met you)

In fact, it is not an easy task to understand the Londoners from the extremely fast speaking speed. With Lu Li's loose English, he certainly cannot do it, but he really understands it.

Apart from miracles, how else can I describe all of this?

By analogy, will the words I speak be translated into English by the school first, and then spread to the ears of strangers to prevent my identity from being exposed.

Just as Lu Li lowered his head in thought, there was a rush of bells coming from the front. He raised his head subconsciously and saw William Parsons, a postman delivering letters to the residents of Baker Street.

In my memory, this guy often wears a top hat and a red coat, ringing bells from house to house. If there is a letter that needs to be handed over to him, or if a letter arrives, he will stop in front of the door until the head of the household can't bear it. Noisy, open the door to respond.

hiss!

If it wasn't for the tingling pain in his head that made his thinking extremely clear, Lu Li would definitely think he was dreaming. Otherwise, how could he know a stranger and know every move of this guy.

However, for William, he had already confirmed that the head of the household had seen him, so he enthusiastically waved the letter paper in his hand: Good day, Mr. Lu Li, I have a letter from you, from Scotland Yard!

Good day, my friend.

Hearing this, Lu Li got up and walked to the gate, and asked a question.

The result was not unexpected.

The smile on William's face remained undiminished and became more enthusiastic. After all, it is a great honor to be friends with a Lord.

Sir, I am very glad to meet you... Is there anything I can do for you, for example, to read you the contents of the letter...

At this moment, the postman became incoherent, unabashedly releasing kindness.

Frankly speaking, being sought after by others doesn't feel good, Lu Li subconsciously took a few steps back.

This action was like pouring a basin of cold water, which made William calm down a lot. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice, Sorry, Mr. Lu Li, please forgive my rudeness.

Darkness and light are on the same field, and there is a gap between heaven and hell between people. At this time, Lu Li thought of the words on the blackboard and shuddered in his heart.

My friend, that's not my intention. If you want, you can come in and have a cup of coffee before leaving.

Is it really possible?

certainly.

Ten minutes later, the gate of the fence closed, and the sound of loud bells came from the next door.
