I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 202 Jack the Ripper
letter?
Luden took the letter, nodded his thanks to Sister Feci, and turned around to go up to the third floor.

After returning the cane to Ren, Luden went back to his room, sat at the table, and opened the letter.

"Dear Mr. Luden, I am very glad to receive your summons. You have finally kept your promise. For this, Little Al happily jumped more than ten meters high.

Hope this journey can bring you a different experience.

Little Al and I will come to Wudu in a while, I wish you well, don’t read. "

The letter is very short.

The handwriting is a standard print, not handwritten, more like a typewriter.

In the technological background of this era, mechanical typewriters are not difficult.

This letter was not written by the empress herself, but was written by the Inquisition Office after the empress summoned it, and sent to the orphanage.

From just a few lines of words, Lu Deng analyzed a lot of information.

First of all, the empress is in an inconvenient place, at least not in Wudu, so she can't come here for a short time.

Otherwise, with the character of the other party, they will come to you immediately.

Even if she doesn't show her face, the queen will hide in a corner, watching Lu Deng silently.

Secondly, the queen was with Ai Er, but she didn't mention any news related to A Wu.

Luden was sure that Awu had gained eternal life.

Historically, the first citizen, Awu, has repeatedly committed danger with his own body, took the lead, charged at the front line, and was seriously injured many times.

Surviving once or twice can be a fluke.

It has been able to survive, most of it is turned on.

Hanging on the blood lock, hanging on the eternal life.

Awu may still be playing the role of a leader, and even playing emperor cosplay somewhere.

Finally, and most importantly, a hidden message:
The queen can't come to Wudu for the time being.

The Inquisition will be tasked with keeping Luden safe until she returns.

If the Queen didn't know that Luden had returned, and the Inquisition quietly assassinated Luden, there was still a chance to pretend nothing happened.

If the queen knew that Lu Deng was back, she would come all the way to Wudu, but she would see a dead body.
An angry queen, it is not difficult to destroy or restart the whole world several times.

Those people in the Inquisition may be lunatics.

But they have never forgotten that the presiding judge has been the leader of the lunatics for eight hundred years.

It was she who led the Inquisition mad for eight hundred years.

Don't mess with this woman.

Lu Deng received the letter and was about to go downstairs for dinner.

He suddenly remembered something, and took out the letter from his pocket again, opened it and read it.

Lu Deng's eyes fell on a line in the letter:

"...Little Al happily jumped more than ten meters high"

In the eyes of others, this sentence may be an exaggerated rhetorical technique, even a bit clumsy.

Luden knew that the Queen's literature was very good.

After all, it was Luden who was in charge of teaching the Queen's literature back then.

But why did the Queen add such a sentence in the letter?
What if this sentence is not rhetoric, but fact?
Under the constraints of this planet's gravity, the limit of human jumping height is less than three meters.

What about another gravity?

An absurd and bold idea came to Luden's mind:
Empress, shouldn't you take Al on a trip to the moon?

Through the dusty glass window, Luden looked at the bright moon looming in the dark sky, and fell into deep thought.
She couldn't come right away because she was on the moon.

She was able to get in touch with the Heresy Trial because she had left communication facilities such as a radio so that the other party could contact her after they found Luden.

Everything is explained.

Some people are busy traveling to the moon, while others are still working hard as nannies for orphans and godfathers for slums.

Perhaps, this is Luden's blessing.

Lu Deng held his forehead, looked in the direction of the moon, and smiled wryly,
"Have fun."

After packing everything, Luden went downstairs to eat.

The dinner was very sumptuous, and in order to welcome the arrival of the new dean, Ms. Feixi cooked the classic delicacies of Wudu:
Fried fish, peas, sausages, mash.

sounds good.

However, the children's faces were bitter, looking at the food day after day.

What's more bitter is that there is only a small plate of food in front of each child. Even if the plate is licked clean, it is difficult to feed these growing children.

Luden looked at the food on his plate, which was as much as the children, and Sister Feci didn't pay special attention to him.

The operation of the orphanage is very difficult, and it cannot make ends meet. Even if all the cash is used to buy food, with the current catering standards, it can only last for less than half a month.

Seeing this scene, Luden took out 1 pound from his pocket and handed it to Sister Feci, wanting to improve the food for tonight.

Sister Feci lowered her head in embarrassment, and whispered,
"We owe five pounds for ingredients."

Without repaying the money, they would not be able to buy food. Sister Fisher tried everything that could be done on credit.

Luden took back the 1 pound.

He only had 3 pounds and 7 shillings in his hand, and even if he used all of them to pay back the money, it would not be enough.

It's better not to pay it back.

Too many lice are not afraid to bite.

For Luden, making money has never been a difficult task.

He divided the food on the plate among the children and told Sister Feci to take care of the children and go out by himself.

Luden is going to make money.

"Dean!"

Sister Feci was a little anxious, rushed to Lu Deng, and said in a low voice,

"The night in Wudu is very unfriendly to the people of Shenbang, and the security team is not manned enough. Maybe you shouldn't take this risk."

She could see that the dean might be going out to get food or money.

Whatever you have to do, you should do it during the day.

Even an old fogy person like Sister Feixi would not choose to go out late at night.

Besides, it's a big night, where can I get money?
You can't. Do something illegal, right?

Thinking of this, Sister Fei Xi looked even more worried, and tried her best to dissuade Luden from going out.

"Don't worry, Sister Fisher."

Luden explained,
"I have some friends in Wudu. I am going to borrow some money from them. If it is too late, I will stay there."

Luden insisted on going out, but Sister Feci could only sigh heavily, and said sincerely,
"May the Holy Father bless you, Mr. Luden!"

Luden left the orphanage, but he didn't find any friends as he said.

According to the map in his mind, Luden easily found an underground tavern. This is the gathering place for the people of Shenbang, and men will have some fun here.

With a face like his, it is not so easy to enter the underground tavern.

After communicating with the doorman for three minutes, Luden persuaded him to let him into the tavern.

The method was very simple. Louden stuffed 8p into the opponent's pocket.

The doorman was like a slot machine, Luden penny by penny plug, the doorman didn't move at all.

After stuffing enough 8 pennies, he stepped aside and let the distressed Luden pass.

After entering the tavern, Luden looked around and quickly found his target - the gaming table.

People get together and play poker.

In this set of playing cards, K stands for king in ancient Qiyun language.

The pattern of K represents a total of four people:
King of Spades - Loudon Y. Weigold

Cube K - Pong Jager

Club K——Awu Weigud Augustus
King of Hearts - Al Isa

Lu Deng studied for a while beside the gaming table, and quickly figured out the gameplay and rules.

A player also noticed that Luden, especially his bulging pockets, was very attractive.

The player sends him an invitation,
"Want to have a game?"

Luden asked seriously,

"Playing poker should be considered illegal in the fog, right?"

The people around looked unfriendly, staring at Lu Deng, ready to attack at any time.

Could it be that this guy who looks like a god is actually a spy of Wudu security team?

Lu Deng's next sentence made everyone laugh out loud,
"I just like doing things that violate the code of the Fog City!"

Misunderstanding resolved.

He sat at the poker table, and joined the game amidst everyone's welcome.

Everyone likes this humorous guy, and even more like the money in his hand.

Gambling, in the final analysis, is probability, and the end of probability is metaphysics.

Luden has excellent eyesight, which allows him to see the cards and the subtle movements of anyone, so as to prevent the opponent from cheating.

At the same time, Luden also has a strong enough memory and calculation ability.

When a person gathers these three elements, it will become difficult to lose money at the gambling table.

More importantly, Luden was protected by the Inquisition. If Luden played too much, the other party would try to save him.

However, Luden's gameplay is different from others.

He is not winning all the time, but maintains the rhythm of winning and losing, so that the chips on his table will increase steadily, but it will not appear too dazzling.

And Luden's real income is far from the money on the surface!
While he was participating in the gamble, [Outlaw Madman] was in effect!

What's even more coincidental is that the Fog City Code imposes heavy fines on private gambling by Shenbang people!

The hacking and killing of the people of Shenbang, even if they beat out the brains, the security team in Wudu didn't bother to care, anyway, it was Shenbang's own people who were injured.

When it was the turn of the gamble, the security team in Wudu immediately struck hard.

Cherish life and stay away from gambling!
The higher the fine, the more rewards Luden gets when he triggers [Outlaws]!

After playing cards for most of the night, Lu Dengming won 5 shillings on the surface, which was less than 1 pound, and he was very low-key.

And when he left the tavern, his steps were much heavier than before.

Because, he had a full 10 pounds in his pocket.

In the middle of the night, Luden directly used up the gambling rewards of [Outlaw Madman].

If he makes such a gamble again, he will not be able to get rewards from [Outlaw Fanatic].

Either increase the stakes of the game, or increase the bad nature of the game, in order to obtain further rewards.

Luden smiled wryly and shook his head. He was drifting further and further away on the road of an outlaw fanatic.

The 10 pounds can buy a lot of food after paying off the orphanage's debt.

In fact, if Luden let go of his hands and feet, he could win more.

It's just that by then, whether Luden can leave the tavern alive is another question.

If he could not bother about the situation of the Inquisition, Lu Deng would try not to bother.

Favors, what is owed must be repaid.

Early in the morning, mist knocked on the door of the orphanage.

Sister Feci opened the door sleepily, saw the creditor's face, subconsciously wanted to prevaricate a few words.

The other party smiled all over his face, not only did not collect the debt, but instead sent a whole truckload of food!

This, this... Could it be that the Holy Father appeared? !
Feeling the power of the Holy Father, Sister Feixi began to pray on the spot.

And the person who did all this walked into the orphanage calmly, yawned, sat at the dining table, picked up the newspaper, and waited for today's breakfast.

In the newspaper, a headline caught Luden's attention:
"In order to help apprehend the murderer of the prostitute murder case, this newspaper publishes the following letter after obtaining the consent of the security team. Reading may cause psychological discomfort. Please read this postcard from 'Naughty Jack' with caution. He claims to be the victim of five The murderer of the prostitute murder, the security team has only found four bodies so far"

Looking at the news in the newspaper, Luden fell silent.

Because the whole thing was too similar, a name popped up in Luden's mind instantly:
Jack the Ripper!
