Chapter 78: Dark Mist

Just when Bai Lang was surprised that his costume had changed, it was not his original set at all, and the paradise prompt also began to swipe the screen intracraniologically:

[This mission is the first round of single-player missions of 'Contractor No. 1449032'. In order to facilitate the mission, the character image has been successfully changed, and it is free for the first time. 】

Bai Lang lowered his head, he was wearing a retro suit at the moment, a civilized stick in his right hand, and a suitcase in his left hand. His hands turned white and he touched the top of his head, wearing a gentleman's hat.

He didn't need to look at this riotous shape, he could conceive it in his mind, and he became a Westerner. The surrounding buildings are also very old and dilapidated, reminiscent of Europe during the steam period.

Pulling out a piece of hair, it was not blonde but black, and he was a little confused about what he had been changed into.

[Temporarily master the common language of the world, and you have basic reading and writing skills. 】

A large number of familiar words of the language poured into his brain, and he quickly mastered them.

The corners of Bai Lang's eyes twitched, and he asked Paradise in his heart: How much do you look down on my English level? I'm a college student, the kind who passed the sixth grade and didn't retake the exam!

[In London in the eighties of the nineteenth century, the second industrial revolution has begun, mankind has entered the 'electric age', capital is expanding wildly, and science is booming. The darkness of ignorance has not yet been dissipated, and the power of evil hides in the shadows. 】

[This is the era of the collision of science and mystery, and as a member of the 'Demon Hunters', you are responsible for saving the world and protecting the peace of mankind. Half a month ago, you unexpectedly learned about a serial murder case, and under the guidance of fate, you tracked all the way to London. 】

[Main Quest: 1 Origin.] Investigate the truth about the homicide and catch the murderer. Limited to 15 days. 】

Of course, the park will not ignore Bai Lang's dissatisfaction, dutifully fulfill the obligation of commentary, and arrange the first link of the main quest. He was instructed to investigate a homicide case that was completely unclear.

"Tsk! Become an exorcist again, and still a guide of fate? You're my destiny, aren't you? A monthly routine? Bai Lang rolled his eyes and began to look at his surroundings.

After a series of crossings, he finally returned to Earth. Despite being a nineteenth-century parallel to Earth's Britain, there was a bit of a thrill to go home. Then, when he smelled the stench in the air, his excitement vanished......

Even in the eighties of the nineteenth century, the steam revolution was over, but the roadside of Great Britain was still full of gold. At this time, the air quality in London is extremely poor, and many towering black chimneys can be seen in the distance.

The Industrial Revolution brought with it a lot of soot emissions, mixed with the icy fog of London, with its acidic and pungent smell, the rhythm of PM8.0, and the natural fermentation of gold everywhere, which is the status quo of the race that claims to be the greatest civilization on earth.

Fortunately, 30 years ago, London, which had experienced the 'great stench', had renovated its sewer system and built many public toilets, which greatly improved the environment, otherwise Bai Lang's situation at this time would be a hundred times worse! (A miasma visible to the naked eye pervades the world) ...... London dumps 2,000 tonnes of manure on the River Thames every year, and two million people breathe and breathe it out.

……

Walking on the stone road, walking through the street without street lights, I finally found an inn and walked in.

He figured out the hints given by the park all the way, the world background of the early electric age + the fog capital of London, there are many possibilities. But 'witchers' and 'forces of evil' imply that this is a world with supernatural powers.

"What kind of world could it be?"

There happened to be some small money in the pocket of the suit, Bai Lang booked a room with the boss, took two pieces of solid bread, and came to the damp and musty room.

Lighting the kerosene lamp, he began to check his suitcase. This thing was prepared for him by Paradise, and his personal belongings and equipment were all in the storage space, just as much.

In the suitcase, there are two sets of changing clothes and a short knife for self-defense. Books, IDs, notebooks...... Money, pipes, and a few newspapers.

He picked up the ID, his official identity as a detective? Named 'White. 'Autrande' is the English name he gave himself in the last world.

This makes Bai Lang feel very novel, a 'witcher' disguised as a 'detective', but it is a very good match. I can't help but start looking forward to this mission, can I brush up on the title of 'Death College Student'?

As he flipped through the newspaper, his expression quickly froze. Although there is no paradise hint, as a time-traveler, he seems to have guessed the main quest this time?

The other contractors are all Sommogo natives, their history is stuck in the sixteenth century, and due to the relationship of dimensional erosion, they have long been blurred, and they have no idea what happened in Britain in the nineteenth century?

Time, September 1888. The exact date is not yet known.

He has two cropped newspapers in his hand, two serial murders, the victims are all low-level London's 'female special professionals', the crime scene is near the East End Whitechapel, the cruelty of the death does not need to be mentioned, the murderer wrote to the relevant units to provoke, was widely publicized by the newspapers.

If you change to another contractor, you have to investigate for clues. But Bai Lang did it in one step and directly obtained the answer:

It is the 'Jack the Ripper Incident' that is also very famous on Earth and has been given a mystery.

Considering the 'supernatural powers' that Paradise suggested, his mind was racing. The Collision of Science and Mystery, Supernatural Forces, The Fog Capital of the Nineteenth Century, Jack the Ripper......

Brother Lang was careful and grabbed the vague inspiration!

"Mysterious? Mysterious! ......" In his mind, a delicate, short, rather cool figure appeared, "Is it my little Jack?" ”

Liver Emperor Bai Lang recalled the experience of drawing cards back then, although he was educated by Teacher Guda to be autistic, but on the battlefield of helping her dog, he left the domineering legend of 'Krypton Golden Non-Chief'!

"Is this the Moon World?" Bai Lang was lying on the bed, thinking wildly, if it was really as he thought and operated properly, maybe he could catch a daughter and take it back to raise? But in such a world, isn't the level of power a little high?

"I'm going to be dismantled, right? I'm going to be dismantled! ”

There are no other reincarnators, and it is the first one after the official entry, so the difficulty should be limited. Moreover, he had already investigated clearly, although the work of the 'Paradise' was dangerous, it was by no means an inhumane unit like the 'Main God Space'.

Paradise is really cultivating employees, and the high mortality rate is caused by the nature of the work, but it will never force people to die! Probably, right?

In short, his strength improvement this month is no worse than those low-level senior fritters, and he is full of confidence in this mission.

With his mind full of distractions, he quickly fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Brother Lang tidied up his clothes, wore a riotous gentleman's hat, a suit and leather shoes, and came to the police station with a small crutch, took out his identity documents, and began to show the sheriff his intentions, he was interested in the 'Jack the Ripper case', and was willing to bring his own dry food to help work.

At this time, the police station was also troubled by this case, and was even promoted as a waste by the Times, eager to restore the lost dignity. Add 'White. Autland's 'is also a newcomer, a little heard, so the two sides hit it off and arranged for a newcomer to be his assistant.

In this way, Bai Lang embarked on a journey to chase the murderer at the end of the 19th century. Speaking of which, Sherlock Holmes should be his contemporary, right?
