Chapter Eighty-Four: Soul Eater

Norfolk is a city in Virginia with a port and naval base, located 480 kilometers from Philadelphia, where the destroyer was teleported to Norfolk in the original Philadelphia test.

The same is that Liu Yanzhi was also teleported to Norfolk, the difference is that he was teleported to Norfolk in 1906, Hannibal's methods are really clever, the distance in time is insurmountable, and he has no way to return to 1943, let alone return to the baseline time and space in 2018.

After a short period of thought, Liu Yanzhi decided to return to China from the United States first, and waited for the organization to pick him up on Cuiwei Mountain, which was his only hope.

Virginia on the east coast of the United States, back to China, to be precise, the most convenient route back to the Qing Dynasty is to take a boat from San Francisco on the west coast, he has to get some money to cross the North American continent by train first, without further ado, just do it, Liu Yan went straight to the bustling area of Norfolk City, and he was going to rob the bank.

Norfolk is a small city, with only one bank, a small faΓ§ade, and the sheriff's office next door, and the eastern city is relatively developed, unlike the wild Midwest, where the sheriff only wears a badge on his chest, and the police here wear dark blue uniforms and carry batons instead of pistols, and horse-drawn carriages shuttle back and forth in the streets, with the occasional old car or two passing by, and the pedestrians are all dressed in the nineteenth century, like scenes from a black-and-white silent movie.

Liu Yanzhi walked into the bank, the clerk in the window didn't look at him, he was looking down to settle the account, he shouted, the other party still did not respond, Liu Yanzhi held the iron railing and pulled hard, but found that it was not broken, he was surprised, tried again, obviously held the railing, but when he pulled, it came out of his clenched palm.

What the heck! Liu Yanzhi broke out in a cold sweat, he finally found that he was not a physical person, but he was not a soul floating in the yang world, his body was translucent, and he could touch lighter objects, but that's all, in other words, he couldn't make a big move.

Even more outrageous, others can't see him, as if he doesn't exist at all.

Liu Yanzhi tried to pass through the wall, but to no avail, the wall was still an obstacle for him.

What the hell is going on, Liu Yanzhi is completely confused, he walked out of the bank, blocked in front of a carriage, the horses ignored him, and rushed forward, Liu Yanzhi was hit into the sky like a bouncy balloon, and then fell.

Maybe this is the state after death, Liu Yan speculated, after experiencing so many life and death crises, he has taken death very lightly, and the only regret is that he did not die in the era and country in which he lived.

Now that he is dead, there is nothing to worry about, it is better to take a good look at the world, Liu Yanzhi found that his flying ability has been greatly improved, originally his air speed can only be equivalent to a bicycle, but now it has been improved by hundreds of times, he jumped into the sky, looked down, the river of the bay city is vivid, and then flew up, through the clouds, to the bottom of the stratosphere, looking up, it was endless darkness, down was the magnificent clouds like the sea, and the sky was a line of bright blue halo, which was the middle ground between the atmosphere and outer space.

The temperature of the upper air was extremely low, it should be about minus 50 degrees, but Liu Yanzhi didn't feel the cold at all, dropped the altitude, discerned the direction, and then flew west.

This kind of flight is completely different from the usual air maneuver, usually it seems to be paddling in the air, but now it is like flying with your mind, you can go as fast as you want, and the speed of progress is like moving the mouse on Google Earth.

Seconds later, Liu Yanzhi arrived in San Francisco, on the west coast of the United States.

To his great shock, San Francisco had become a ruin at this time, full of broken walls, apparently had just experienced a major earthquake, many areas were on fire, most of the houses of Americans were wooden structures, San Francisco, as a large city in the west, has achieved gasification, the street lamps on the street are all gas-burning, the leakage of gas pipes ignited the houses, the fire raged, and many streets were burned to the ground.

Liu Yanzhi searched in the air, and soon found the location of Chinatown, which was a small Chinatown in San Francisco more than 100 years ago, inhabited by Chinese laborers and Chaoshan people who came to the New World to pan for gold, and the Chinese were mainly engaged in the catering industry and laundry, and no one was spared from this disaster, whether white or Chinese.

In 1906, Lin Su has been dead for five years, San Francisco is where she lived, maybe among these houses turned to ashes, there is Lin Su lived, Liu Yanzhi looked back and forth at a height of twenty meters from the ground, like a compassionate God looking at his believers, suddenly a boy crying and screaming attracted his attention, lowered the height to see, it was a five or six-year-old Asian boy, born with a tiger head and tiger brain, strong and cute, there was a female corpse lying in front of the boy, the clothes were complete, and the skin had no traces of burning, it should have been stoned to death.

Looking closely, the woman's eyebrows and eyes seem to be a little familiar, it's Lin Su!

The softest part of Liu's heart was touched by the fact that his wife, Lin Su, had not died five years earlier, but had been martyred in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, leaving behind their child, the poor boy.

Liu Yanzhi was mentally prepared for Lin Su's death, and he was always ready to travel to 1900 to rescue Lin Su, but now that even he himself is dead, saving people has become an empty word, and the most heart-wrenching thing is to watch his flesh and blood become orphans but unable to do anything, Liu Yanzhi's heart is like a knife.

The person who collected the corpse came, collected Lin Su's body, and the boy was taken away, turning back step by step, looking at the burned home, crying like a tearful person.

Liu Yanzhi also wept, and the tears floated in the air and disappeared.

Suddenly, he woke up suddenly, if he was a soul, then he should have seen the souls of Lin Suhe and the thousands of people who died in the earthquake and fire.

……

In 1943, on the deck of a destroyer at the Philadelphia Navy Yard in Pennsylvania, Dr. Hannibal stood next to Liu Yanzhi's corpse, holding his chin in his hand and thinking, this corpse was already cold, without pulse and breath, but he couldn't be sure that Liu Yanzhi was indeed dead, because in the Montauk project, many testers who entered the time tunnel were in this state, this was not death, but out-of-body soul.

Liu Yanzhi has always been the object of Monsan's dream research, and now that he has finally got it, Hannibal has no joy, only feels that he has taken a hot potato, whether to throw it into the furnace to prevent future troubles, or take it back to study slowly, he has always been decisive and he can't make up his mind.

Suddenly there was a gunshot outside, and the bodyguard in a three-piece suit and a top hat immediately stepped forward to protect Hannibal, this time he traveled back a year ahead of schedule and joined the Naval Intelligence Research Office as a scientist, he brought enough manpower, and hired a group of gunners locally, and his strength increased greatly, but it was still not enough in front of Liu Yanzhi, so Hannibal set up a bureau to trick the Navy into a rainbow plan, and made a simple device similar to the Montauk Project at the Philadelphia shipyard with scientific equipment from the forties, Stripped Liu Yanzhi's soul from the body and successfully captured the body.

Liu Yanzhi has been eliminated, and the others are nothing to fear, Hannibal gently pushed away the bodyguard and said, "Catch it alive." ”

Ten minutes later, the gunfire stopped, and a group of marines brought the prisoners over, Hannibal looked at it and smiled: "Very interesting combination, **** people, an Indian, the League of Nations?" ”

Ji Yuqian said: "You are Dr. Hannibal?" If I'm not mistaken, Project Rainbow is actually a fictional project you've led just to trap us. ”

Hannibal said, "You are smart, but not for you, but for one of you." ”

Guan Lu saw Liu Yanzhi lying at Hannibal's feet, and couldn't help but call him: "Yanzhi, wake up, don't sleep." ”

Hannibal said, "Ma'am, save your saliva, he is not asleep, but dead, you know, his soul is already with God." ”

Guan Lu got up hysterically: "Impossible, he won't die, you lie!" ”

Endless despair hung over everyone's hearts, and Gangadar asked, "Doctor, are you, like them, traveling to this era from 2018?" ”

Hannibal nodded, "That's right, sir." ”

"Then what they say is true, and the world will be destroyed in your hands." Gangadar gritted his teeth.

"No, they lied to you, I am the one who really saves the world, humanity needs to evolve, you know, you know Darwin, Mr. Gandhi." Hannibal joked.

"I'm Gangadhar. Khan, not Gandhi. ”

"Well, whoever you are, are you ready to say goodbye to the world?" Hannibal's tone hardened, and as he gave the order, the Marines chained the captives to the deck, and then evacuated the destroyer, Hannibal returned to the control room, nodding at his assistant.

The assistant pulled the knife and turned on the power supply, the solenoid coil was energized, the light bulbs of various electronic devices on the ship began to flicker, and crackling electric sparks appeared.

"What are they going to do?" Gangadhar shouted.

"If you want to kill us, why bother so much, electricity doesn't cost money." Ji Yuqian is not panicked when he dies, he still has a killer weapon.

Guan Lu closed his eyes and said silently: "Hurry up, it's up to you!" ”

A sergeant in a boat-shaped hat and khaki navy overalls walked into the control room and suddenly pulled out a pistol and put it at Hannibal's head.

"Stop." The sergeant spoke Chinese, and he was a leash for secret infiltration.

Hannibal, who could understand Chinese, sighed and asked his assistant to pull open the switch and stop the power.

The light bulbs on the destroyer dimmed instantly, Ji Yuqian breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, this was his plan, the three of them repaired the plank road in the open, and tied the pillar to the dark Chen Cang, but the strategic task has not been completed, that is, to save Liu Yanzhi.

"Get me back." The hitch poked Hannibal with the barrel of his gun, "I count to three, and he can't come back, so I'll let you go with him." ”
