Chapter 14: Sources of the Bomb
Zheng Yuanlixiang stopped, he was still on alert. At this time, the distance between them was three steps, and at this time, there was a dead spirit on the overpass behind Zheng Yuanli that only he could see.
But these are not the key issues, what are these two people doing?
"hi~Chinese~"
Luna stepped up a staircase, seemingly ignoring the deliberate safe distance between Jung and them. Now she can touch herself as long as she reaches out, which is not a suitable social distance for strangers.
It seems that even most Western cultures are not so welcoming, is she really British?
"Hello."
Zheng Yuanli nodded.
"Looks like you've found out a lot about the bombing, right?"
Zheng Yuanli bowed his head and did not speak.
Seeing that Zheng Yuanli didn't speak, Luna turned to her brother and said.
"Brother, what about your gloves with inscriptions, put on a show."
"But my gloves aren't for entertainment."
"If you want to perform, you will perform."
Lancelot hurriedly took out a leather glove from his jacket pocket, and the slight difference about this leather glove was that it was densely covered with inscriptions similar to spells on the Oriental Spirit Runes.
Then Lancelot put the leather glove on his hand and snapped his fingers between his index finger and thumb.
A flame burst out of Lancelot's glove, about half a meter high.
Then, with a slight shake from Lancelot, the flame was extinguished.
Zheng Yuanli watched this scene in place and knew their identity as alchemists. The gloves should be rubbed with powder, so a spark can be generated when you wipe it. The dense spells on the glove are not used to control the flames, the flames are to be controlled by the air.
Those spells are used to control the oxygen in the air.
In the final analysis, the difference between alchemy and spirit runes and spirit Gu is only a different medium. They are more adept at making useful magic items, and it is likely that the Heavenly Evolution is a product of alchemy.
"Well, a very good trick."
"All right, Sorcerer of the East. Don't pretend to be calm anymore, we're not your enemies, especially not a member of that damn Heavenly Dao organization. By the way, in Europe they call themselves Phoenix. Doesn't it sound like bad taste. ”
Luna said.
"Then what do you want to know from me, Western alchemist."
"Oh, I'm not an alchemist, only my brother is in this unartistic and not very romantic profession, I'm a noble astrologer."
"Well, hello, beautiful astrologer."
Zheng Yuanli replied politely, waiting for Luna to say something next.
"Brother, look, I'll just say that I am also a beauty in the oriental aesthetics."
Luna turned her head and winked at Lancelot with her left eye. Lancelot shrugged his shoulders and nodded, looking helpless.
"Well, we are here to seek cooperation, after all, there have been two bombings in a row in London. As nobles, we knights have the duty to protect the common people. In fact, the police in London went to investigate the scene and basically determined that many of them should have been committed by gangs. However, when tracing the source from the wreckage of the bomb, the clue was broken, and the other party was very careful in committing the crime. Before committing the crime, it was considered that the police would try to track down the murderer based on the wreckage to trace the source of the bomb. ”
"Why can't the killer be identified from the bomb clues?"
Jung asked at Luna's words, wanting her to elaborate further.
"The police confirmed the model based on the remains of the bomb. The bomb uses TNT explosives, which typically need to be detonated with an open flame. As I think you know, this explosive is a common tool used by miners in the mines of northern England, as well as on the island of Ireland. ”
"I understood that the type of explosives used meant that the London police could not find out where the explosives came from. Because TNT is so easy to obtain, it is impossible to retrieve all the data that TNT has lost in the last year or more. Moreover, even if they are all called out, they may not be among them. ”
"Yes, precisely because of the ubiquity of this explosive. Therefore, it is almost impossible to find the source of the bomb, and attempts to start with the timing system have not yielded anything. The only clue that can be seen is that the timing system is homemade, which may be from the Internet. ”
"Did the London police determine the size of the criminals?"
"Not yet."
Zheng Yuanli put his finger on his chin and pondered for a while, when the wind whistled in the middle of the night, as if it could freeze time.
"Let's change places, I'll tell you everything I know."
After a while, Zheng Yuanli spoke.
————
In the middle of the night, the streets of London were deserted. The three men stepped off the overpass and stood on the side of the street. The cold wind blows and makes anyone anxious to get home.
Although the three of them all understand the principle of yin and yang and are not afraid of ghosts and gods, none of the three of them want to continue to stay in the place where such a tragedy just happened.
Zheng Yuanli took out a napkin from his pocket and wiped the blood from his eyes and lips. In this way, he will no longer be able to see the dead spirits. He's wiping the blood, Luna asks next to him.
"What you just said there, we all noticed. Actually, about you, we noticed it a little earlier. You are the companion of the Chinese who saved the baby on London Bridge. ”
"How do you know?"
"The citizens of London who take pictures have taken pictures of you in the camera. Otherwise, I'll give you a web address, and you'll find it later. ”
Zheng Yuanli shook his head and signaled that it was still not necessary, he thought that even if he was photographed, it didn't mean anything, how many faces appeared on various news pages and social networks every day. This does not confirm his identity.
Luna continued.
"I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Luna, his name is Lancelot, and of course like you Eastern Warlocks, we don't call each other by our real names. This is our title, I don't know what to call you? ”
"Just call me Norman, you don't know Chinese very well anyway."
Norman's ordinary proximity to English is no different.
"It doesn't matter, unlike you Eastern Warlocks who have countless false identities, our title also represents pride and self-esteem passed down from generation to generation."
In that case, what's the difference with a name? It's not that you'll be bound by the title yet. ”
"Even if you're bound, you can borrow a lot of power. Okay, let's not talk about that, let's move on to your business. ”
