Ingleson Tudor Lister Street 22 apartment.

The red-haired young man lying on the bed pretending to sleep suddenly opened his eyes, his light brown pupils dilated slightly, trying to accommodate more light to enter.

He sat up and subconsciously looked at his hands and arms.

From the outside, Langdon's skin is still full of youthful vitality, and there is no sign of checkmate at all.

When the fist is clenched, there are still green tendons bursting out.

In the silence of the night, you can even hear a strong and favorable heartbeat.

Will such a body really die and rot after a month?

Li Shenzhi was full of worry.

He even thought that Langdon, who was embedded with the Creeper, might be able to delay the arrival of this time.

But reason still told him that he could hope, but he had to prepare for the worst.

"Hoo ......"

Li Shenzhi exhaled, and the pressure close to death made him a little restless.

He was silent for a moment, then simply split a part of the maggot, walked along the crack in the door, left the apartment, and rebuilt his body on the street.

Of course, the whole process is under the cover of siren tears.

At this time, Tudor in the night was dead silent.

The streets are empty, and the air quality is a little better.

Li Shenzhi discerned a direction, and then walked lightly.

He was going to go to the hospital and try to take possession of the body, and if it worked, even if it was only a few days away, it would be enough for him to do a lot of things.

After leaving Lister Street, Li Shenzhi was surprised to find that Tudor at night was not as calm as he imagined.

On the side of the road and in the deep alleys, from time to time, you can see the homeless people in ragged clothes, huddled in them, shivering.

This reminded him of Salotchi's words:

- Faith comes from suffering.

He had no doubt that a few loaves of bread might be enough to convert them, and that poverty was the source of cholera!

In a gloomy mood, Li Shenzhi found a corpse before he reached the hospital.

It was an old homeless man, curled up on a street corner with a stack of old newspapers, his whole body long gone.

Li Shenzhi sighed unintentionally, he half-squatted in front of the homeless man, pointed his index finger on his forehead, and then his soul followed the index finger and tried to occupy it.

As expected, as soon as his soul poked out his index finger, he escaped into the terrible chaos, and he couldn't feel the homeless man's body at all.

"Sure enough! Come to think of it, once a human dies, in the end, it is just a piece of carrion made of protein, and if I can possess the corpse, the death of the sea fish should have no effect on me. ”

Li Shenzhi sighed secretly, he had been mentally prepared for this result.

Since the corpse is not good, then you can only retreat and choose the person who is about to die.

Now, though, is not the time to experiment.

If that day comes, let's talk about it!

Li Shenzhi thought secretly, turned around and went home.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, the maid Caroline prepared breakfast as usual.

Today's breakfast was toast, steamed parsnips, and a glass of fresh milk.

"Hmm, the parsnips are out?"

The memory of Langdon's death flooded back to his heart, much to Li Shenzhi's surprise.

"Yes, Mr. Langdon, parsnips will be on your table more often in the future." Caroline replied.

Parsnip, which sounds like a desert cypress with its name, is actually similar to a white radish.

The palate is soft and waxy, with a mixed taste of potatoes and yams.

It is usually harvested after the frost falls, and the anxious farmers will also pick it before the frost falls, hoping to sell it for a good price.

"Winter is coming!"

"Yes, Mr. Langdon."

Li Shenzhi shook his head, inexplicably thinking of the dead homeless man last night.

He paid little attention to the temperature changes, and he did not know that winter was comparable to the White Death for the poor.

"From today onwards, the standard monthly living expenses are £40, and I will give you a regular time each week, which is the living expenses for the week."

Li Shenzhi took out two silver coins of £5 and placed them on the table.

He was not so arrogant as to rise to £60, and although he could afford to spend it, he felt the need to save some of it as a spare little coffer.

In the event that Langdon's body dies, it can also provide funds for the next body.

"Mr. Langdon, what are you...... Promoted? ”

Caroline looked surprised.

It's a pity that Li Shenzhi would have secretly chattered last night, but now he has long lost that kind of mind.

"Well, almost, I'm now a security officer and enjoy the treatment of a security inspector."

"Really? Congratulations, Mr. Langdon! ”

Caroline looked surprised and congratulated sincerely, after all, this is also a matter of honor for the lord and servant.

"Promotions are good, but jobs are also more dangerous. Yesterday a sheriff was killed in the department, and I may die at some point. If I die, if you have any living expenses left, you can keep it for yourself! Li Shenzhi sighed.

"No, Mr. Langdon, you are so young, I believe that in a few years, you will be promoted to the head of the sheriff!"

Caroline waved her hand and used her promotion to divert the slightly heavy topic of death.

"Hopefully!"

Li Shenzhi didn't explain much.

After breakfast, when he left the house, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, Caroline, if you have time today, buy some spices from the market." ”

Caroline hurriedly replied, "Yes, Mr. Langdon. ”

Wait for Li Shenzhi to leave the house.

Caroline picked up the silver coin on the table, and her mind couldn't help but be in a trance.

The monthly expenditure of 40 pounds, or 480 pounds a year, is close to the minimum standard of living for lords and nobles.

This gap between the rich and the poor made her a little sad;

But it's more of a tricky feeling.

How to plan for £40 living expenses, to be honest, it was a bit of a stump for her.

Because she had never touched and managed such a level of expenses.

She had worked in the Earl's Court, but only as a domestic maid.

Generally speaking, planning for living expenses is a skill that only a personal butler possesses.

In the midst of her thoughts, Caroline gradually had a plan in her mind.

She planned to visit the old butler who had worked for the Earl's Court in the afternoon, hoping to get his advice.

It's really not good, I've never eaten pork and watched pigs run, so she can only imitate the details of life in the Earl's Court and make overall planning.

"My lord, great god of navigation, may Mr. Langdon return safely every day."

Caroline couldn't help but pray to the god of navigation.

She vaguely remembered that on her first day at work, Mr. Langdon went out with his left wheel to check his appearance.

Clearly, Mr. Langdon was working in a dangerous environment and could face death threats at any time.

Those damn gangs, even the old and the young, don't care about the vigilantes.

She didn't want anything to happen to Mr. Langdon.

……

Leaving the house and coming to the Sheriff's Office, Li Shenzhi first reported to Inspector Pyne, and then patiently went to the shooting range to practice shooting skills for two hours, and then went to the archives to read some basic occult knowledge.

The Sheriff's Department is the official violence agency of Ingleson.

The knowledge of the occult is quite complete and extensive.

However, most of them are introductions to common abominations, and there is very little practical knowledge.

I don't know if it's a rash attempt to guard against ordinary security officers;

Or to prevent this part of the knowledge from circulating.

However, even so, Li Shenzhi still turned to a feasible plan.

- That is, possessing a living corpse.

A living corpse, as the name suggests, a living corpse.

It is a profane thing with human activity and corpse properties, and is a type of undead creature.

Usually created by the Lich and summoned as minions.

In theory, it's an abomination.

However, no one has ever set a living corpse, just as no one has ever set a curly-haired baboon.

Li Shenzhi was thinking that since the living corpse was an abomination, it should theoretically be able to contain his soul.

He doesn't need to have psychic means, he just needs to be able to create living corpses, so he can convert some dead people into living corpses as backup bodies.

This is an emergency rescue method that does not break through the bottom line of human nature.

Of course, if you can find an abomination as a spare shell, it will undoubtedly be more perfect, and it will be more psychologically burdensome.

Unfortunately, the abomination is not so easy to find, and once the incident is urgent, the only way to save the scene is to use a living corpse first.

In that case, where can we find a way to make a living corpse?
