Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 126 The Imitator of the Epidemic Doctor (4k)

Old calendar April 1588, 4, rain.

Today's old London seems to be painted with a layer of gray. The bad news from the Authority made it to the headlines of the major news early in the morning.

The Zeppelin's second quest went awry and is now trapped in the depths of the sky.

After the old London government received the distress signal, it organized and mobilized a group of people that night, and requisitioned a new version of the Zeppelin airship developed by the Machinery Bureau to start the third deep-sea exploration.

John became one of the candidates for the third dispatch. Before leaving, he briefly came to Rhode's house to give a brief mission report.

Regarding some things that happened in the recent period, John made a summary, and at the same time, all relevant documents related to the special sacrificial events derived from Pigman’s painting "Apocalypse" and the things lost in "Apocalypse of Glaaki" were all handed over to Rhodes.

John hoped that Mr. Rhodes would be able to follow up on events while he was away.

Rhodes did not refuse because he wanted to accumulate the power of sin as soon as possible and improve his attributes.

Beside the fireplace, Aesop squirmed his tentacles to add some firewood to the fireplace. He had performed more than 100 operations in a row yesterday, and he was enjoying a rare leisure time.

Rhodes sat on the sofa, looking at the documents in his hand.

There is a portrait about "Apocalypse", he has seen it three times from last night to this morning.

Although the Administration has dispatched a large number of personnel to conduct city-wide on-site inspections recently, the vicious sacrificial ceremony has not stopped, and some characters in the "Apocalypse" are being produced.

The death is still going on. Although this incident has not been widely reported by journalists, some people who got the news secretly spread the news.

At least now that there are fewer people on the street, it shows that the fear of the unknown exists in most people's hearts.

No one wants to be the lucky one who was killed and turned into a portrait.

Rhodes took out the reproduced painting from the file bag, spread it out on the coffee table, and at the same time took out the three photos of the dead inside, and compared them to the 19 prayers in different poses on the portrait .

These three photos were placed under the patterns of the 3rd, 7th and 11th prayers from left to right.

This kind of vicious sacrifice that seems to have no rules is the most difficult to break.

Even if you lack relevant information and technical means, it is even more difficult to solve such cases than to find a dung beetle from cow dung.

Of course, Rhodes can still find some key clues from the collected relevant information provided by John.

It's just that whether these clues are useful can only be checked step by step.

For example, criminals have green skin and will look for lone walkers to shoot in the middle of the night or during the day, and often after killing the target, the murderer will move the victim to some vacant unmanned house and stay there for 1-2 hours. Clues that can be found from the death scene of the latter two victims.

As for the next lucky person who will appear as a priest, it is very likely that it will be the 15th prayer in the painting.

It was a stooped, thin old man.

He put his hand into his throat, and his body crawled on the ground in an extremely twisted posture. One of the characteristics he showed was the connection of his hands and tails.

Of course, through the appearance of the prayers on this painting.

Rhodes can use a subjective way of thinking to find the fourth victim the criminal wants to attack, but that is too time-consuming.

Rhodes is going to carry out fishing law enforcement in several areas where criminals often haunt.

As for what Rhodes is going to do, it is
"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Rhodes, do you need to find me?"

Old Moore's voice sounded at the door.

Rhodes opened the door and welcomed Old Moore into the house.

"Sit, this is for you."

Rhodes took a bottle of whiskey from the cabinet in the living room and put it in the hands of Old Moore who was sitting on the sofa.

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

Elder Moore was originally drafting at home, preparing to write the first autobiography of the legendary witness, but he received a call from Mr. Rhodes.

Thinking of what happened in the small town of Bath before, Old Moore thought of the experiment that Mr. Rhodes was about to conduct, and he rushed over excitedly.

"It's the way it is."

Rhodes briefly explained his plan, and he planned to let Old Moore participate in the entire criminal arrest plan this time, and at the same time, he would be the bait.

"Of course there is no problem, Mr. Rhodes. It is the honor of Old Moore that you are willing to let me join this great plan. How could Old Moore refuse?"

Although he didn't mention anything about improving his strength, Old Moore was still happy to be able to participate in this plan.

Rhodes naturally also saw a trace of regret flashing in Old Moore's eyes, and he whispered: "Regarding that matter, I need to conduct some simple animal experiments first to ensure stability before using it. On you, Old Moore."

"Thank you for remembering this, Mr. Rhodes."

Old Moore unscrewed the cap of the whiskey and took a sip.

As long as this guy has good wine, he can't help drinking it when he's excited.

"It's your choice, and I'll take it seriously."

Rhodes and Old Moore discussed the follow-up matters and prepared to wait for the arrival of night before taking action.

After Old Moore left, Rhodes entered La'lyeh once, but unfortunately, there was no one else in La'lyeh, so Rhode came out after waiting for a while.

Later, George and Will came to Rhodes' house.

"Little boss, things in the slaughterhouse have been going well recently, and everyone is very satisfied with your arrangement."

George simply made a report, informing Rhodes of some recent events in the slaughterhouse, and also told Rhodes of some rumors he heard in the black market.

"A newly developed assault colony equipment from the Machinery Bureau has flowed to the black market?"

"Yes, little boss, it seems that a third-level researcher from the Machinery Bureau was found out as a spy.

He was originally a member of the Northern Alliance, and he wanted to take this assault colony back before he was discovered.

But for some reason, after the other person disappeared, the assault breeding outfit went to the black market. Although it is not clear whose hands it fell into, it will not be long before everyone knows about it. How could those damned Yankees think of making trouble at this point in time? "

Rhodes smacked his lips and took out a check for 150 million crowns.

"Here is 150 million crowns. I need you to use this money to get an ancient version of the mechanical guard."

"Okay, little boss, with this money, I think we can get two planes."

"Well, let's have two fights."

George handed over the money to Will, looked at Rhodes eagerly, and asked in a low voice, "Should we pay attention to the raid on the breeding equipment?"

The assault colony is different from the mechanical guards. The assault colony is an exoskeleton technology manufactured using steam mechanical technology, which can use the power of steam to enhance the strength of the human body. For those who practice the way of qi and blood, they can Something that can quickly increase strength in a short period of time.

But this thing has always been in the hands of the old London government, and it has never flowed into the black market.

Even if this thing is obtained by an ordinary person, it can immediately give the opponent a strength comparable to that of a mid-level demon.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes, and tapped his left index finger on the armrest of the sofa.

"We will not participate in the raid on the breeding equipment for the time being, just let those people go and grab it."

"Why, I think if we fight for it, we have a great chance of getting it." George said confidently.

As far as the forces of the old-time remnant party headed by their old London slaughterhouse in Old London are concerned, they are also the only targets that the old London government dare not provoke.

Rhodes glanced at George and said in a low voice: "Although it looks like the Northern Alliance group did this, I think there is a high probability that the old London government is responsible for it.

Recently, there has been a lot of commotion in Old London because of the deep sea exploration.

At this time, those guys are likely to find some unstable factors and slaughter them, so that we can see them and let us settle down, so as to maintain their dignity and the stability of old London. "

Under George's shocked gaze, Rhodes pointed to the newspapers on the coffee table. Except for the headlines on the front page describing various failures and difficulties in deep sea exploration, most of the rest were about what happened recently in the old Unrest across London.

"Some people can't sit still anymore, but that's them. What we have to do now is to preserve our own strength. Human strength should not be used in civil strife at this time."

"Yes, I understand!"

George suddenly felt that the little boss seemed to have become a lot more mature than before.

Could it be that, as Ms. Angelina said, it was because the little boss changed after meeting the little princess from the Golden Lion family?
George didn't understand, but that didn't seem like a bad thing.

In the eyes of the soldiers following Chief Robert, the visible growth of the little boss is also a bigger prospect for the future.

"Will and I will definitely complete the mission successfully!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Watching the two leave.

Rhodes stood up and twisted his body, glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and walked towards the kitchen.

It didn't take long for Rhodes to prepare his own fitness lunch, boiled chicken breast, boiled broccoli, boiled carrots and a tomato.

A bland meal.

After lunch, Rhodes lay on the sofa and took a nap.

After waking up, he was stunned for a while, and glanced at the attribute panel in sight.

[Name: Rhodes]

【Physique: 20】

【Spirit: 10】

【Perception: 2】

[Attribute point: 11]

[The Power of Sin: Unlocked (unlocked after the total attribute reaches 50)]

The remaining 11 attribute points are unused, and the total attribute points have reached 43 points. As long as he gets another 7 attribute points, he will be able to unlock the power of the seven sins.

After witnessing the use of magic power by the Weeping Creeper, Rhodes is looking forward to the ability of the Seven Sins after unlocking it.

Especially feeling the magic power accumulated in his body, Rhodes has an urge to use them.

Ever since he got the passivity of the source of magic power, the magic power in his body has been automatically accumulating, and now he even has an urge to overflow the magic power every day when he opens his eyes.

This feeling is very subtle, but very real.

Of course, Rhodes has no plans to use the 11 attributes accumulated so far.

After all, with his current strength, it is relatively easy to deal with some of today's problems without risking death. He is going to save these attribute points for backup, or observe them in the power of seven sins after reaching 50 attribute points. Whether the opening of each ability requires attribute points to meet certain requirements.

Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens.

It's best to be steady.

On the night of April 1588, 4 in the old calendar, the rain gradually stopped.

South of Old London, Seven Oaks.

On the quiet street, under the dim street lamps, a few gray moths were flying under the lamp caps.

Old Moore leaned against the pole of the street lamp, gulping down the malt wine in the iron pot.

In order to act more realistically, under the sponsorship of Rhodes, Old Moore opened his stomach and drank his fill in the tavern. In order to attract the guy who might appear, Old Moore leaned against the streetlight alone.

Black haze veiled the pale moon.

At the end of the street, several furtive figures sneaked out their heads.

They looked at the drunk old Moore under the street lamp, quietly leaning against the shadow of the wall and moving towards the street lamp.

Old Moore squinted his eyes, leaning against the wall beside him, looking drowsy.

"Quick! Finally caught this drunkard!"

"I saw it, the thick stack of green banknotes that this guy revealed when he was paying in the tavern!"

"Enough! You two guys don't talk endlessly. While he is drunk, grab the money and leave! There are often masked men around here, don't be caught by that guy!"

Several people approached Old Moore and began to grope for him.

Old Moore didn't expect that he didn't lure the criminal out, but instead recruited a few bastards.

The dagger in his sleeve trembled, and he was about to teach this group of bastards some lessons, letting them know that it is wrong to take other people's money indiscriminately, but when he thought of Mr. Rhodes' order, he forcibly stopped his follow-up actions.

Mr. Rhodes asked his subordinates to watch him. If the other party did not move, Old Moore had to maintain the posture of an old alcoholic and could not do anything out of line.

Perhaps, the real criminal is hiding in a dark corner and watching.

Just when Old Moore was annoyed at being captured by these little bastards, a clear female voice suddenly came from afar.

"You bastards, let go of that old man!"

"Oops! It's Mask Man! Run!"

Aesop, who was hiding in a dark corner and observing the scene, subconsciously shook his tentacles at this moment.

Because it saw a very weird guy coming out of the corner.

It can't be said to be weird, but the guy's clothes are almost the same as the epidemic doctor played by the master some time ago, even the beak mask he is wearing is very similar.

Is this guy imitating his master?
Old Moore slowly opened his eyes, staring blankly at the figure walking towards him in the distance.

这 是
The man seen in the papers that the old London Press had been looking for?
Hearing the voice, it was actually a woman! ?
Old Moore faithfully played the role of a drunk. He threw down a little bastard who robbed him of money, and cooperated with the masked man who came suddenly to the crowd, and cleaned up the group of little bastards. Successfully got my money back.

"Thank you for your help." Old Moore thanked him sincerely.

"No, you don't have to thank me, it's my duty to help the elderly." Masked Man whispered.

Hearing the other party's voice at close range this time, Old Moore was sure that the other party was a woman.

This really surprised him.

"Take the liberty to ask, are you that one?"

Old Moore said speciously.

"No, that gentleman has always been my idol. He has illuminated my way forward. Without him, perhaps I would still be living in my own dark world."

The masked man shook her head, at this time the mask on her face seemed to be accidentally thrown off because it was too big.

Old Moore took advantage of the light from the street lamp, and out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see the other party revealing a part of his skin under the mask.

Pure green!
Green skin!
Old Moore's heart beat immediately.

According to the information provided by Mr. Rhodes, the green-skinned person is very likely to be a criminal.

Could this masked man be a criminal in disguise?

Old Moore guessed in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to ask, but at this time he felt that such a rash question would lead to the failure of the mission.

"Old man, if you have nothing to do, don't run around here at night." The masked man seemed to remind Old Moore out of kindness.

But these words, in the ears of those who are interested, have become almost certain that this masked man knows something clearly.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you, I'll go home now."

Old Moore watched the other party leave, and quickly dodged into the alley beside him, and informed Aesop of his discovery.

After making a judgment, Aesop followed the masked man, and at the same time passed the news of the harvest to Rhodes.
