Chapter 187 [Clues]

"Are you alright?"

The phoenix folded a glow stick and walked over with it in his hand.

Chen Xiaolian squinted at the strangely shaped revolver in Phoenix's hand.

"Hmph, it's too amateurish, and I don't even have all the equipment with the dungeon. Is it the case that the Meteorite Sentai has already landed at this point? He actually used ordinary weapons to attack spirits. ”

A somewhat sarcastic word came from the side, and it was the guy called Dagger under Phoenix's hand who spoke, and his eyes were clearly disdainful.

"Can I see your weapon?" Chen Xiaolian frowned, then let go, and asked very calmly.

Phoenix looked as usual, smiled, and generously handed over his gun: "It's just a modified ordinary pistol and modified into a large caliber to facilitate the use of special bullets." ”

Chen Xiaolian took the gun. The guy called Dagger seemed to want to say something, but the phoenix glanced at him, and Dagger closed its mouth.

The tires and spare tires also walked back, still dragging Dr. Mu, who was already scared and almost stupid.

There really is nothing special about the pistol, it is obviously an ordinary firearm modification, the runner and barrel are specially made, obviously to cater to the size of large-caliber bullets.

Chen Xiaolian withdrew a bullet and looked at it, the middle of the bullet was actually glowing with a faint silver.

"It's a special silver bullet. The phoenix said slowly: "It has a restraining effect on evil dark creatures, and it also has a killing effect on spirits." In the process of making this bullet, silver is mixed with ingredients, and holy water is also added during the refining process. ”

"Holy water?" Chen Xiaolian smiled.

"That's right, the kind you get in a lot of ordinary churches. Phoenix shrugged his shoulders: "Although there is this kind of weapon for sale in the huàn system, there is no need to waste points with this kind of equipment that can be made by yourself." ”

"Not bad. Chen Xiaolian nodded.

"This weapon of its own modification. The lethality against dark creatures will be slightly lower than what the system sells, but it will be enough. Phoenix glanced at Chen Xiaolian: "You should ...... You don't have any experience with dark creatures, do you?"

"So to speak. Chen Xiaolian didn't hide it. Instead of slapping a swollen face and being fat, it is better to tell the truth, besides, my own table has already explained a qiē just now.

"Deal with dark creatures, mostly those of Western legends. Generally speaking, the weapons used are also Western legends, holy water, crosses, and silver equipment. ”

Chen Xiaolian looked at the girl in front of him, and suddenly smiled: "Is garlic also counted?" I remember that in Western legends, it is best to use garlic to deal with vampires. ”

Phoenix laughed and trembled: "I don't know, I haven't used garlic, but...... Maybe it works. You can try it next time, but I hate the smell of that stuff. ”

The group quickly left the subway station and went outside. No one stayed here. Instead, they chose to leave immediately - the commotion in the subway station, God knows if it would attract the police.

Time is pressing, and Chen Xiaolian doesn't want to waste time dealing with the police.

Dr. Mu seemed to be much more at ease—if he had been a little skeptical of Chen Xiaolian's words before, part of the previous cooperation may have been due to the overwhelming and hidden danger of subservience to the other party.

Well, ever since he saw the appearance of that female ghost, Dr. Mu has been completely convinced! even though he is a doctor, a staunch atheist. But on the subway station platform, I saw the lights go out one by one, and I saw a female ghost appear. It can also penetrate the human body...... In this kind of scene, the ironclad facts are in front of you. He couldn't help but believe it.

On the streets of the East District, the night is still very quiet, maybe it is the case here, or maybe it is due to the system, Chen Xiaolian has no intention of pursuing this kind of problem.

The crowd came out into the street and quickly left. There was almost some conflict when he left.

The people of the café team, mainly the guy named Dagger, asked to let Dr. Mu into their car. Chen Xiaolian's side naturally refused-this is a system clue character!

The dagger guy was obviously very mean, and sneered mercilessly: "That resentful spirit was killed by our regiment commander just now!

Chen Xiaolian didn't speak, just looked at each other coldly, and the spare tire was gearing up. Said fiercely: "If you want to rob people, you can try." ”

At this time, the phoenix spoke.

"Alright, dagger, no need to argue. Phoenix walked up to Chen Xiaolian and glanced at him: "This gentleman will get into your car." However, our car will always be behind you, so let's find a place where we can talk and sit down and discuss how we can work together to accomplish the mission, how about it?"

Looking at the other party's sincere eyes, Chen Xiaolian exhaled: "Okay...... Thank you just now. ”

Phoenix smiled: "Of course, I also have a condition, my principle is that since we cooperate, we must do something to build trust." ”

"Huh?"

Phoenix said lightly: "Your team members, pick one and get into our car." ”

Chen Xiaolian immediately squinted at the phoenix: "Hostage?"

Phoenix smiled: "In exchange, I'll get into your car, alone." ”

This mention seemed to be very fair, and it was also very sincere, so that Chen Xiaolian couldn't think of any reason to refuse for a while.

Tire looked at his brother and looked at Chen Xiaolian: "Regiment leader, I'll go." ”

Chen Xiaolian groaned slightly and nodded: "Okay." ”

The spare tire is a muddy person, and the tire is calm and cautious, and he is more relieved to go to Chen Xiaolian.

"So what are you waiting for? Get in the car and go. Phoenix glanced at his teammates: "I'm in their car...... Daggers, monsters, and the Titan brothers...... Be polite and polite to our guests. ”

The dagger sneered, turned around and got into the car, and sat in the driver's seat. However, the monster with a monkey on its neck seemed to smile stiffly, took the initiative to open the door of the rear compartment, and made a gesture to the tires, which seemed to be quite friendly.

Even if he had never driven a right-hand drive car, Chen Xiaolian sat in the driver's seat with a hard head, but Phoenix took the initiative to sit in the co-pilot's seat, and the spare tire sat in the back seat with Dr. Mu.

"There is a small park square nearby, it should be quiet at this time and no one will disturb us and we can go over. Where to discuss the next action. Phoenix turned on his phone and looked at the GPS and reported a location.

Chen Xiaolian said he had no objections.

The two cars started one after the other, one after the other, and drove away from the Whitechapel district.

Chen Xiaolian was not driving fast, but the phoenix sitting next to him seemed to be very interested, and kept looking at Chen Xiaolian with strange eyes.

"Do you like to look at others like this?" Chen Xiaolian looked a little uncomfortable.

"You seem to be very young. I'm guessing you're not more than eighteen years old at most? Hmm...... It can't be sixteen, right?" Phoenix smiled.

Chen Xiaolian didn't speak.

"There are very few regimental commanders as young as you. He also became the head of the meteorite team. It's a well-known team. ”

"You're not that old. Chen Xiaolian said lightly.

The phoenix didn't speak, but opened the window, letting the cold night breeze blow in outside.

It seemed that after a while, the phoenix suddenly said, "My situation is different from yours." ”

Chen Xiaolian was stunned for a moment—this woman's reflex arc was too long.

"How is it different?"

"Your players seem to be on good terms with you. Phoenix glanced back at the spare tire sitting in the back row, staring at him, and smiled: "This gentleman, can you take it easy? I won't eat people." ”

The spare tire muttered something, but there was no gnawing.

"Could it be that your team members don't have a good relationship with you?" Chen Xiaolian frowned.

"It's okay. The phoenix smiled and pointed to the road ahead. Suddenly, he said, "Turn left ahead!"

Chen Xiaolian frowned: "The address you said is not like this......

"Turn left!"

Chen Xiaolian hesitated, but turned around as he said, and then, at the request of Phoenix, he parked the car next to a small Tesco supermarket on the side of the road, which is a 24-hour store, Phoenix hurriedly said "Wait for me for a few minutes", jumped out of the car and rushed into the supermarket.

A moment later, Chen Xiaolian saw the girl jumping out of the supermarket. He jumped across the street again, holding a can of pomegranate juice drink in his hand. Drink slowly through a straw.

"You...... That's why I was asked to turn around and stop just to buy this?" Chen Xiaolian's eyes widened.

There was a smile in Phoenix's eyes...... She smiled in a girlish manner: "Why not?"

Looking at the dissatisfaction in Chen Xiaolian's eyes, Phoenix smiled: "Don't be so nervous, even if you are a copy, you have to enjoy life." Otherwise, what's the point?"

As she spoke, she handed over a jar of pomegranate juice: "Give." ”

“...... Thank you. I don't like to drink these things. Chen Xiaolian shook his head.

"My favorite pomegranate juice is my favorite. Phoenix held the drink in his hand, his face full of satisfaction.

"Is there enough trouble, can you leave!" Chen Xiaolian frowned.

The car restarted and left.

The phoenix slipped pomegranate juice and suddenly asked, "How much do you know about Jack the Ripper's case?"

Chen Xiaolian didn't speak.

In the second row of seats behind him, Dr. Mu, who had been silent, as if he had not yet recovered from the blow, suddenly lost his voice and said, "What are you talking about? Jack the Ripper?"

"yes. Do you have any questions?" Phoenix smiled.

"You mean...... The serial murderer in British history?" Dr. Muk asked.

"Unless you also know there's a second Jack the Ripper. The phoenix shrugged.

"You ......," Dr. Mu suddenly shouted, "You don't think that tonight's case was done by Jack the Ripper, do you? Please! That was more than a hundred years ago! How could the murderer live until now!"

"There are so many impossible things. The girlish smile on Phoenix's face remained: "I bet you haven't even seen a ghost before tonight, have you?"

Dr. Mu was speechless.

"By the way, can you ask? I was curious just now...... Did you know each other before?" Phoenix looked at Chen Xiaolian.

"It's a knowing. Chen Xiaolian knew that he couldn't hide it, and said slowly: "I was also surprised that he was actually a clue person." He...... It's a doctor, an ordinary person. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaolian glanced at Doctor Mu behind him: "Can you ask, Doctor Mu, why did you come to London?"

"I'm ......" Dr. Mu's face was a little nervous, "I'm here for an event." ”

"Activity, can you tell us more about it?" Phoenix suddenly looked serious and looked back at Doctor Mu carefully.

Dr. Mu hesitated, but still spoke.

"I am a doctor and a part-time doctoral student at XX Medical College. Last year I had a medical paper published, in collaboration with my supervisor, to be exact. This paper would have been nothing. However, one of my classmates, who was studying at a medical school in the UK, accidentally showed my paper to a few friends here, and they thought some of the ideas in the paper were very interesting, so they wanted to invite us to do some interesting discussions together.

However, this kind of seminar is not an official official event or a formal academic seminar. My tutor wasn't interested...... So ......"

"So I sent you?" Phoenix looked at Dr. Mu with a pitying look.

Chen Xiaolian couldn't help but glance at this guy.

From his words, it is not difficult to deduce something.

There is no need to ask about that paper, most of it was written by Dr. Mu himself, but it ...... He co-authored the ...... with his mentor This is also a common unspoken rule in the domestic academic community.

If it was an official and formal seminar, most of the time it would not be Dr. Mu's turn. The mentor must have gone into battle himself.

It's just that this kind of private discussion without a name cannot improve the quality or academic aura, so Dr. Mu's mentor is not interested in coming, so Dr. Mu is sent to fill the number.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaolian's heart suddenly moved: "Speaking of Jack the Ripper just now, you seem to have a great reaction, why? Is it just because this is an old case more than a hundred years ago?"

"Uh...... No, I just think it's a coincidence. ”

"Coincidence?" Chen Xiaolian suddenly couldn't help but glance at the phoenix sitting beside him, and both of them found a trace of excitement in each other's eyes.

"Uh...... The friend who invited me to come, a graduate of the Royal College of Physicians, is now in forensic medicine...... He is a member of the Forensic Medical Association here. Well, we've used to communicate and chat online through guò, and we've often explored the mystery of Jack the Ripper. Well, there's ...... In my paper, there was some medical speculation about this case. He thought it was very interesting, so he invited me to come over and talk to me, and a few of his colleagues were also eager to talk to me. The cost of my visit to the UK this time was borne by the other party. ”

Crunch!!

Chen Xiaolian put on the brakes!

The car immediately stopped in the middle of the road!

The first thought in his mind was: clue! This must be the clue given by the system!!

......

Sorry guys, but there's a bit of a plot that I need to think about carefully. 】
