polar demon

Chapter 457 Trial ([-]) Thanks to the book friend "True Red Dragon Emperor" for the reward!

Today, the Qing Dynasty full of steampunk style, just like in another time and space, was bullied by foreigners with advanced weapons, lost power and humiliated the country.

For this kind of backwardness in technology, sometimes it is very powerless.

In another time and space that Jiang Yuan knew, such backwardness was simply appalling.

In this world, the speed of light is incredibly fast.The speed of light takes only one second to circle the earth seven and a half times.

However, Western scholars have already begun to try to measure the speed of light during the Wanli period.

By the time of Kangxi, Westerners had measured the speed of light to 22 kilometers per second.

During the Qianlong period, the Europeans made the measurement of the speed of light more precise, reaching 31 kilometers per second, which is almost the same as the real speed of light.

The backwardness of "Mr. Sai and Mr. De" can be seen from this.

Jiang Yuan still doesn't know much about this foreign land where this matter has undergone historical changes.

The Western powers in this foreign land seem to be more powerful, and even have humanoid mechas. I don't know what the Qing Dynasty here relies on to resist.

While Jiang Yuan was in deep thought, the man spoke again:
"Time has always been limited... My eyes are full of rivers and mountains, nothing is far away... Brother Yu sighed, but he lost the interest in drinking flowers and wine. I will say goodbye today. I don't know when we will see you again. Please don't want to, brother." If you waste your studies again, you should serve the country after you finish your studies! Thank you for the farewell banquet today, Brother Yu, I will take my leave first!"

After finishing speaking, the man cupped his hands at Jiang Yuan and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute, brother!" Jiang Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the man, "Little brother drank a little too much, his head is dizzy, and he can't remember many things clearly. Please help me, brother!"

Now that the man in front of him was about to leave this place, he was the best person to ask him to understand his situation.

Mo Qi once said that you can't leave here for a radius of ten miles, otherwise you will be considered a loser.

And just now, Jiang Yuan looked out of the window and saw clearly that this place seemed to be a small county town, with a radius of only two miles.

Outside the county seat is an empty plain, only a factory in the distance is included within ten miles, and there is nothing else.

It seems that the final decision of the outcome is in the county town within a radius of two miles. This range is not too large.

At first glance, it seems difficult to find out the special libation among the many people here.

It is extremely difficult to find this person as long as you only need to find a place to hide, or do not show any abnormalities all the time.

But Jiang Yuan believes that Zhuan Dian will also be impatient to use various methods to find himself, so he will do it sooner or later.

And I just need to be one step ahead of him, to recognize who he is, and then I can win.

The most urgent task right now is to confirm one's own identity and distinguish one's own strengths and weaknesses before making a long-term plan.

The man was slightly surprised, looked at Jiang Yuan and shook his head helplessly:

"Alcoholism hurts the body, brother, you..."

Jiang Yuan smiled and began to ask various questions.

……

When Jiang Yuan walked out of the brothel—the place where the two drank just now was the brothel—it was gradually getting dark.

Through talking with the man named Ouyang Nian, Jiang Yuan finally got a rough idea of ​​his identity.

The current Jiang Yuan's exorcist, named Xu Shaohua, is a son of a somewhat down-and-out rich family.

The Xu family made a living dealing in antiques, but after Xu Shaohua's parents died of illness, the business plummeted.Coupled with the fact that Xu Shaohua was not doing his job properly, he was addicted to eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking, and he didn't care about his family business, which made things worse.

Fortunately, Xu Shaohua married a virtuous wife who manages the house well and takes care of the shop, so he barely managed to stabilize his life.

Ouyang Nian was Xu Shaohua's classmate back then, and he will go to study abroad tomorrow, so Xu Shaohua immediately set up a banquet in the brothel for his farewell.

After Xiang Ouyang Nian learned everything he needed to know, Jiang Yuan let him go, and he also left the brothel.

At least for now, I have to go home, so as not to be too noticeable.

If my wife made a big fuss by reporting to the authorities or looking around because she didn't return all night, then maybe it would be cheaper to pay special attention.

As they moved away from the brothel, the surrounding streets began to become deserted.

After nightfall, there are very few pedestrians, only the lights can still be seen in the houses on both sides.

The stone pavement of the street in the night is wet, and all kinds of debris are piled up on both sides.

Jiang Yuan walked slowly and calmly, but his eyes were secretly looking at all the passers-by around him, wondering if Zhuan Dian was near him.

When passing by an alleyway, there was a faint fire coming from the alleyway.

Jiang Yuan took a look, only to see a straw mat spread out on the ground, and a skinny man was lying on the straw mat, pointing a bong to the oil lamp, and began to smoke, his sallow face looked like The appearance of being obsessed and enjoying.

Unexpectedly, there is also the habit of smoking drugs here, Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly and continued on his way.

When passing by a thatched hut, there was a loud shout inside, which clearly reached Jiang Yuan's ears.

A group of idlers gathered inside, who seemed to be pushing Pai Gow.

All I heard was an idle man slamming the dominoes on the table and shouting excitedly:
"Shuangtian! I won!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and moved forward without stopping.

The street became more and more deserted, even passing a passerby and it was difficult to see his face clearly in the night.

Jiang Yuan has been relying on the location of his home from Ouyang Nian. In an unfamiliar environment, for a place he has never been to, it seems not easy to rely on verbal descriptions to find it.

His eyes carefully identified the surrounding scenery in the surrounding darkness, trying to find a reference.

Now Jiang Yuan's shell is an ordinary mortal, even weaker than ordinary people, and does not have night vision ability at all.

This gap from a top-level strongman to an ordinary person has not allowed Jiang Yuan to fully adapt so far.

However, I am afraid that it is not much better than myself if I think about it. This foreign projection is chosen by myself, and I am still barely familiar with it.

As for the demon ghosts who are restricted by their own era, it is far more difficult than themselves to adapt to this modern background.

Jiang Yuan also asked the magic weapon, in the trial rules, the special libation is the same as his own situation, it does not have memory, and it is thrown randomly.

However, Mo Qi abided by the rules very much, and did not disclose too much information to Jiang Yuan, but only told what could be told.

And these contents are also eligible to be obtained exclusively.

At this time, Jiang Yuan needs to take the lead as soon as possible, but how to take the lead requires more thinking.

At present, in this place, the strongest force is the foreigners.

The factory in the distance is a coal factory opened by foreigners, where they mine coal and are protected by the army.

Foreigners have a lot of privileges here, and although their army is small in number, it can be said to be invincible in this county.

In addition, the second place in power is the government.

The government also has its own officers and soldiers, a large number but worrying combat power.

Ranked third is a gang called the Dafeng Gang, which is the local snake here.

And Jiang Yuan's identity has nothing to do with these three.

But in this mission, it is necessary to rely on the power of these three, and Jiang Yuan has to choose it carefully.

In addition, what Jiang Yuan is most worried about is the identity of Zhuandian. If the identity that Zhuandian puts here is directly a foreign captain, or a government magistrate, or a gang leader, then he will be in trouble.

Jiang Yuan walked while thinking, and the night grew darker.

However, at this time, a chill suddenly appeared behind Jiang Yuan, following him like a shadow.

Such a strange coldness made Jiang Yuan feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. The hairs on this body couldn't help but stand up one after another, and goose bumps covered his body.

The surrounding air seemed to suddenly become cold and gloomy.

Jiang Yuan's heart sank suddenly, he was no stranger to this feeling——

Ghost! ! !

Unexpectedly, there is such a ghost in this world!

Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth and continued to walk as usual.

With his own body, he was completely powerless to resist the ghosts.

He couldn't even sense the appearance of the ghost, and didn't notice the coldness until the ghost came close behind him.

If you die, you lose.

Regardless of whether the ghost behind it is a special libation or not, as long as it kills itself here, even though he is not really dead, he will not be able to obtain the qualification to recognize the owner of the magic weapon.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan lost all his strength, and he couldn't even judge the state of the ghost behind him.

He knew that he had to find a way to get rid of this demon, otherwise he wouldn't be able to survive tonight, or even the next moment.

The moonlight was like frost, dragging Jiang Yuan's shadow on the ground in front of him for a long time.

However, there is only Jiang Yuan's own shadow, not the ghost's shadow.

It seems that the ghost probably didn't show its original shape, but was following behind in the form of a wisp of black air.

Jiang Yuan walked on the street step by step as usual, but the coldness behind him was getting closer and closer.

How to do?How to do!
He buried his head in walking, but dared not look back.

You only need to turn your head, and the ghost will pounce on you at any time.

Even if I don't look back, I don't live for a while.

Just when he was extremely anxious, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was two people, a man and a woman, coming towards Jiang Yuan head-on.

The man turned out to be a foreigner. This foreigner was wearing a sallow coat and had curly blond hair all over his head.He was holding a wine bottle in one hand and a beautiful girl in the other.

The foreigner seemed to be drunk, and he staggered when he walked, relying on the support of a young girl to stand still.

He laughed as he walked, speaking Chinese for a while, and English for a while, and he was already incoherent.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he added these two people.

These two people are obviously more flesh and blood than himself, and Jiang Yuan only hopes that behind him he will know how to choose.

However, even if the two people in front gradually approached, they would pass him shoulder to shoulder.The ghost actually didn't give up his plan at all, and still followed closely behind him, as if he was about to start attacking soon.

"This bastard ghost, is he also afraid of foreign devils?!"

Jiang Yuan cursed angrily in his heart, but he was thinking quickly about countermeasures.

"That's right! Human blood! A ghost who has sensed human blood cannot resist that temptation at all!"

After Jiang Yuan communicated, when the foreigner passed by, he bumped into the foreigner suddenly.

The moment the two collided, Jiang Yuan's nails quickly scratched the back of the foreigner's hand, cutting the foreigner's skin, and a few drops of blood leaked faintly.

"Yellow pig!" The foreigner was furious and cursed, "Do you want to die?!"

The girl in the foreigner's arms also pointed at Jiang Yuan and said sharply:

"Where did you come from! Do you know that this is Mr. Johnson! Hurry up and kowtow to apologize!"

Jiang Yuan didn't say a word, and quickly ran towards the distance of the street.

He already felt that the coldness behind his back was finally attracted by the blood on the foreigner's body, and he began to move away from himself and move closer to the foreigner.

Taking advantage of this time, I must leave quickly, otherwise, if I still stay nearby, I only need to wait until the ghost kills the foreigner, and it will be my turn!

And the foreigner and the girl saw that Jiang Yuan bumped into someone and ran away, so they couldn't help scolding even more fiercely.

Jiang Yuan just ran away desperately, and the shouting and cursing of the two became farther and farther behind.

Just when the scolding was about to disappear, it suddenly turned into two horrified and shrill screams!
