Way of the Devil

Chapter 809: Dark chess one

Views:

Lu Sheng put down a glass of water on the table, followed by a pile of food, dry bread and cheese bought from the convenience store downstairs, and some chocolates, the brands were all unknown, and the outside was wrapped in a uniform layer. The gray paper shells unique to convenience stores add up to a lot of calories.

Since we want to truly break through the qualitative change, we need to be fully prepared.

Lu Sheng took off his shirt and took a look in the mirror. His figure was much stronger than Jack before, but he was far from reaching his limit.

Beep, beep.

There was the frantic screeching of car horns outside.

Lu Sheng walked over and opened the curtains to take a look. The whole of London was shrouded in a layer of gray-black fog. Through the fog, one could see that the two cars downstairs seemed to have rubbed against each other, and the drivers were pressing against each other. trumpet.

On the side road, there were occasional people who stopped to watch, but most of them left quickly with hasty expressions and numb faces.

ah!

A scream suddenly came from the dark city in the distance, it was a woman's.

Such sounds are very common, and can often be heard in London after nightfall.

"Which homeless man scared a passerby again, or there was an accident on the passerby's road, or, maybe, he was raped at all..."

Lu Sheng felt calm in his heart, such a thing could be seen in the next day's newspaper very quickly. London in this world is too messy... ..

"Okay... time to start..."

Boom boom boom.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Jack, your letter from home."

It's the postman near the police station here.

"Thanks." Lu Lu walked over to open the door and took two letters from the postman.

After closing the door, he tore open an envelope at will.

The above is an inquiry written by Jack's father, Old Jack, about the murder case in the upstairs where he rented, and his worries about it.

Also, my sister at home is about to get engaged, so I want him to hurry home as soon as possible in the middle of next month to attend the engagement ceremony.

In the end, the sophora japonica that Jack had planted before bloomed, so you can go back and have a look. And the old dog Henry hurt his leg yesterday... After that, it's a small matter of sesame and mung beans.

Putting down the letter, Lu Sheng tore open another letter from Berlin.

The sender is Kelly King.

This is Jack's biological mother, and also his ex-wife after divorcing the old Jack.

The letter also mentioned the concern about the homicide in his upstairs, and at the same time, if possible, he hoped that he could give up his career as a policeman and take up some relatively safe positions.

This kind of persuasion was not uncommon in Jack's memory, but this was the first time he was so earnest and detailed.

Mother Kelly carefully mentioned the recent cases of police officers who died in the line of duty in Berlin, and repeatedly persuaded Jack to go to her side. He also mentioned that Germany has been at odds with France recently, and there is a high possibility of political disputes. I hope Jack will go there as soon as possible.

Compared with the old Jack's letter, the mother Kerikin's letter is colder. Although the feelings revealed between the lines are very real, it fully reflects the character characteristics of the two.

Old Jack is very nostalgic, warm, and full of attention to the people and things around him.

And Kai Lijin only pays attention to and pays attention to the things she cares about, and doesn't mention anything around her. Appears colder.

Putting down the letter, Lu Sheng quickly walked to the desk, and wrote a reply letter to each of them.

Old Jack's side was fine, but mother Kerikin's side was different. Words need to be carefully considered, Kelly is not one to be fooled.

And the original reason why Jack didn't want to go there was mainly because he didn't want to insert himself into his mother's circle abruptly.

She was divorced, had her own circle of life, and was far away from him.

She has her own brand-new family, her own brand-new interpersonal relationship, and her own completely different living habits, atmosphere, and laughter.

He couldn't get into that circle, and he didn't want to get into that circle.

He is not young anymore, he just wants to find a good girl, get married and have children, and spend the rest of his life.

This is the deep thinking of the original Jack.

Berlin.

Inside a creamy white manor with a typical domed palace style.

Kai Lijin was walking slowly on the grass with an umbrella in her hand. She pulled her long blond hair and looked into the distance with slightly narrowed eyes.

In the eyes of outsiders, she is a standard strong woman, successful in her career, elegant and intellectual, except for her colder personality and stronger ability, she has no other shortcomings.

But only she knows that she still has nostalgia for that family in her heart.

Not to that person, but to her own son who was conceived in October.

Ever since she was examined and lost her fertility due to a car accident a long time ago, she has paid more and more attention to her only son, Jack.

Now as I get older, this emphasis is getting stronger and stronger.

"Boss, is it Jack's business?" A woman with a brown ponytail approached from a short distance and brought her a cocktail.

"Well, Jack is still being his little policeman... I thought it was enough for him to play around before, but I didn't expect such a big trouble now."

Kelly Kim replied flatly, she didn't look like someone close to fifty at all, and her skin was well maintained. With exquisite makeup, she looks no different from her thirties.

"Jack is also thinking about you. After all, you are no longer the old you. He doesn't want to drag you down." The woman shook her head slightly and persuaded.

As early as more than ten years ago, Kelly Kim married the current big businessman in Berlin, Kabo, and became one of the helmsmen of the Kapo family industry. Compared with the bitter days before, Kelly is now a member of the upper class.

And the most important thing is that she married Capo when she owned an industry not much worse than that of the Capo family, as an equal marriage union.

So she has a lot of right to speak in the Capo family.

"I also understand, but I feel that this is unfair to Jack. What Selena and Braun can enjoy, he should also have a share." Kerijin said flatly.

Selena and Braun are both the biological children of merchant Kabo, she treats them as her own,

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, Selena said that she is going to play in Werner, are you leaving now?" Kerikin asked, taking a sip of her drink.

"It's already set off. In addition, the expenses for Master Braun's self-funded study at the University of Aransco have also been in place, and he is ready to go at any time." The woman quickly replied.

"Look at what else he lacks, and give him another five thousand pounds a month from my account. You can't treat yourself badly at school. Basic social interaction is still necessary." Kelly said to the two children who are not her own, It's just as good.

"OK."

"Besides, let them prepare for the end of the year holidays and get in touch with their brother." Kelly also knew that the gap between the two sides was a bit big, and the circle here was completely parallel to Jack.

But she doesn't want her son to be isolated.

"Remember to pick him up during the holidays."

Although it seemed very cramped every time Jack came over, Kelly still decided to let the three children get closer.

She decided so.

"Okay." The woman was not surprised, anyway, she invited Jack to attend the family dinner here almost every year. Just not very happy.

"Something's wrong..." Lu Sheng manipulated the recovered earth energy, and quickly nourished his body.

He was about to start strengthening the body's qi and blood arts, when he suddenly had a whim, and wanted to try to connect the beacon of the Heavenly Demon Realm with his own soul.

Every time he comes, his body is actually qualified to use his power to connect with the beacons from the Heavenly Demon Realm.

But just now, on a sudden whim, he contacted the Heavenly Demon Beacon, but found out strangely that the beacon was gone

"What's going on!? Ban Sai shouldn't make such a low-level mistake!" Lu Sheng's heart sank, and he finally felt where the uneasiness in his heart came from since he came to this world.

More than a dozen contact methods have been replaced one after another, divine patterns, runes, superposition of formations, earth energy to explore the rules of space, and search for traces of space. All kinds of methods have been used, but unfortunately there is still no response.

The previously agreed beacon response mark has no answer at all.

After a lot of tossing, Lu Sheng's face was terribly gloomy.

Can't go back.

Not only is there no beacon to go back, but even leaving this space is impossible.

The whole space seemed to become extremely solid in an instant, and it was completely incomparable with when I first came in.

This feeling of being able to enter but not to exit made Lu Sheng immediately think of the Wuding leader back then.

"This is by no means a coincidence!" Lu Sheng took a deep breath, "But no matter what, let's settle down in this world first."

The power system of this world is no different from that of the ordinary earth world.

All normal energy is difficult to mobilize, and the air simply doesn't have as many and abundant energy sources as in other worlds.

"Dark blue."

Lu Sheng's face became solemn.

Chi.

A light blue interface pops up instantly.

Lu Sheng mentally scanned the internal state of his whole body, adjusted his breathing and relaxed, so that the blood became more stable.

"Let's get started..." He focused his eyes on the modification button below, and pressed it lightly.

Then his eyes quickly returned to the bottom box.

'Qi and Blood Jue: Level 1 (All attributes are increased by one level. Each level increases each attribute by 0.1)'

"This one-level improvement, for each attribute, is actually a one-level increase of about 10%. So now I have the earth energy as nourishment and repair, and I will see if I can improve it to the limit."

Lu Sheng calmed down his restless thoughts.

"Upgrade Qi and Blood Art to the second floor."

With a click, the frame of the Qi and Blood Artillery was suddenly blurred.

Two seconds later, the frame quickly became clear. A trace of divine power gushes out from the chest, quickly transforms into countless filaments, and flies to all parts of the body.

Lu Sheng could clearly feel that his whole body was expanding and becoming stronger. A slight itching sensation permeated the whole body, including the internal organs. The rapid nourishment of the earth qi assists in repairing the strengthened damage.

ten minutes later... .

"I've become stronger again..." Lu Sheng shook his hand, clearly feeling that his body had improved a lot.

"Looks like it's far from reaching the limit. Go on... . Qi and blood art, upgrade to the third floor...."

Soon, another ray of divine power gushed out from the chest, and then turned into countless filaments and distributed to all parts of the body.

This time, the body seemed to adapt a bit, and the improvement was faster. Lu Sheng could even hear the subtle sizzling sound of his body being continuously nourished and strengthened.

"Continue, ascend to the third floor..."

"Ascension to the fourth floor... .."

"The fifth floor...."

"The sixth floor...."

"Seventh..."
