Chapter 1: The Legend of Big Ben (Part I)

Next Chapter

It was night, and the streets of London were eerily quiet, as if they were no longer the original world, and the only sound that could be heard was the ticking, ticking, ticking of Big Ben.

"I'm really reluctant to kill you, if you want to blame you, it's your bad luck. ”

"What do you want to do, you ...... Stop!"

The sound of panic broke the silence of the London night.

"Whew-whew-"

An emaciated young man gasped for breath and ran like madness down the dark street. He was tired, but his instinct told him that he couldn't stop, and once he stopped, the dangerous "thing" behind him would catch up immediately.

The man's name is Wu Ming, 19 years old, Chinese nationality, after graduating from high school, at the request of his uncle, he came to work in a convenience store in the United Kingdom to help out, just a few minutes ago, he was working the night shift in the convenience store......

It's easy to be sleepy at night, but the convenience store is already sluggish, and it's entrusted by my uncle, so it would be rude if a customer came at this time and he fell asleep.

Wu Ming put down the newspaper in his hand, rubbed his eyes, poured the coffee beans into the kettle, and pressed the power switch for boiling water by the way. Listening to the sound of boiling water, Wu Ming couldn't help but be in a trance, followed by a wave of urine, "It seems that I drank too much water tonight." ”

Wu Ming walked into a nearby public toilet to solve his urgent needs, but when he was about to make a convenient trip, he suddenly heard a shrill chainsaw, and the sharp sound of the chainsaw resounded in the night.

Wu Ming followed the prestige, and an old man was pushing open the door of the toilet and walked out.

Recognizing the person, Wu Ming greeted with a smile, "Old Jack, haven't you slept yet?"

Old Jack was the first Englishman Wu Ming knew after he came to England. The old man's personality is very easy-going, and he often takes care of himself as an elder, so Wu Ming has many things to solve with the help of this old Jack, and this "good old man" Jack also breaks the image of the stubborn but pretending to be a gentleman of the British that Wu Ming often sees on TV.

Old Jack showed a kind smile, looking at Wu Ming as if he was a child, which made Wu Ming's heart warm.

"There was something wrong with the toilet pipes, so I helped fix it. ”

Wu Ming smiled knowingly, "There are really not many good people in this world who are as enthusiastic as you. ”

Just as Wu Ming was about to solve the small emergency, and Old Jack returned to the original toilet to continue to be busy, the sound of the chainsaw sounded again.

When he was about to leave, Wu Ming felt that the sole of his shoes was sticky, did he step on something, and stepped on something sticky in the toilet, it was not ordinary bad luck. casually glanced at the ground, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look, Wu Ming is completely blinded, this red liquid ......

A large amount of red liquid was gurgling from under the planks of the compartment that Old Jack had just "repaired", and his feet were stepping on the viscous liquid that flowed out.

"It's ...... Blood?" Wu Ming couldn't help but exclaim, his head seemed to have been beaten by someone, and the drowsy, tangy smell of blood made Wu Ming at a loss.

Hearing Wu Ming's exclamation, Old Jack walked out of the cubicle again, but unlike before, he had a bloody chainsaw in his hand......

Old Jack was still smiling kindly, and the chainsaw let out a screech, and the sawtooth spun rapidly, and the remaining blood droplets on it splashed back on Old Jack's smiling face, making Old Jack's face extremely hideous and terrifying.

Run!

A thought flashed, Wu Ming quickly turned around and ran out of the toilet frantically, he was now full of thoughts about staying away from the perverted murderer, so the first scene appeared.

Why are you so unlucky? How can you accidentally know a foreigner who is a murderer, and how can you accidentally run to the scene of a murder by running away? How many lifetimes of sin have you created?

The moon is rising, and there is a legend in the streets and alleys here. On one day of the year, the Moon is in a specific latitude and longitude. The light reflected on Big Ben will intersect with the bell shadow, and a beautiful spirit will appear and take a suffering person to another world, thus changing his fate.

The fog in London fell early. It was only three o'clock, and a faint fog was already shrouded in the streetlights. In the old neighborhood, the coughing of people who woke up in the middle of the night was heard from time to time in the deep corridors, but not everyone could stay in the bed safely.

In order not to be regarded as a witness, Wu Ming tried his best to eat, panting and running, he didn't dare to return to the convenience store, although he really wanted to find a shelter to hide from that madman, but at this moment, the convenience store is not easy to hide, and it is obviously not suitable for the current situation.

Even if he called the police at the convenience store, Wu Ming had no doubt that he would be dismembered before the police came. Maybe when you make a phone call, the chainsaw has already cut into your back or head.

Wu Ming was running wildly, looking left and right, he knew that at this speed, he wouldn't be able to support it for long. His top priority was to find a place that would not be easy to find, to hide, and to take the opportunity to regain some strength.

I don't know how long I ran, Wu Ming ran to a demolition site in London.

There is a very large and dilapidated abandoned factory here, which Wu Ming once saw in the news, which was ordered by the British authorities to shut down for secretly operating radioactive materials. But in the current embarrassing situation, it is obvious that such a large factory is a good hiding place.

Looking back, the road he had run on, Old Jack didn't seem to catch up, but the fog was rolling in the distance, like a terrible face that chose to devour.

Wu Ming's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he hurriedly climbed over the iron fence, looked at the entrance of the factory, and said secretly, if Jack can't find himself, then as long as he can hold out until daytime, he can go directly to the police station to call the police.

Wu Ming got into the factory, only took a few steps, and the darkness in front of him instantly fell, perhaps because of the disrepair, the factory could hear the sound of "tick tick" from time to time, because the factory was very dim, barely able to see the distance of an arm, the only source of light was a little moonlight reflected in the factory gate.

Slowly touching the objects that could be grasped around him, Wu Ming probably judged that there were many water pipes of different thicknesses intertwined around him. Groping along one of the water pipes to a small door that seemed to be a dark room, pushing open the door, Wu Ming walked in, but he didn't know that the patch on the door was originally not very secure, and then fell off because someone had torn it. Printed on the patch was a radiation sign with words in English similar to "Radiation inside, non-staff are not allowed to enter".

Wu Ming found a light switch on the wall, but he didn't think that there would be a power plant power supply here, but after pressing the switch, he found that the light at the top of the ceiling turned on, and the crimson light illuminated the surroundings at once.

"I guess there's a backup power supply," Wu Ming muttered to himself.
