Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 79 Herbal Shop

When he read the original work, he had very complicated emotions. He knew clearly that it was fiction, but he also knew that these were adapted from real history.

When he stays out of the situation and watches other people's lives from a spectator's perspective, he doesn't think it's anything. He thinks he's just watching a story.And once he became part of the story, he couldn't think like that anymore.

The reality of the past is still reality, and the fiction of the past has become the reality of the present.

There are not only gods in this world. They only use their believers as "anchors" and as tools to maintain their humanity and avoid losing control. However, their "anchors" are many people who are in darkness but are full of hope. people.

He remembered a passage he had read:

One person, ten people, a hundred people, a thousand people, 1 people, 100 people, 1000 million people, 1000 million people...the consideration of individuals gradually disappears as the number increases, but remember, " "1000 million" is not simply "1000 million", but the sum of [-] million "ones".

"One" is an individual, they have their own life, their own joys and sorrows, and each "one" represents a family.

He wasn't weeping because Fred might be in a vegetative state, he was weeping because he was upset.

He was unable to change the underlying background of the world. What he wanted to do was to provide female workers with a safe working environment, so that workers would no longer collapse at work due to overwork... He smiled softly, and even just asked Old Kohler to Eating ham is also one of his wishes.

After seeing the power of the unknown gods, he is now not afraid of the members of the Moss Trappist Order he met when he first crossed over. After becoming the Heart of the Machine, his goal has also changed from "survival" to a more noble one. s things.

It is obvious that the goal is to save the poor people in this world, and at least let the little people with names in the original work survive, but now his teammates are in trouble first, what does this mean to him?
He lowered his head suddenly, and the tears that gathered in his eyes were thrown out, turning into a silver line under the dim light. He suddenly thought of a method, which made him excited.

Chris silently recited the name of the unknown god and came to the Island of Stars.

There was no one in the hallway now, and Horik was on his way to the West Side police station.After all, the West District is the jurisdiction of the Nighthawks. The Machinery Heart operates in the West District and must take the initiative to connect with them.

At this moment, two captains, Albert Gore and Dunn Smith, were rushing to Iron Cross Street Middle Street at the same time. The apartment was not blocked by the police, thanks to the sudden heavy rain, which weakened the sound of the rain. Pistol shots.

The official Beyonder team is like this, as precise as a clockwork gear. Even if the team members are seriously injured and lying unconscious in the hospital, they must put the safety of the people first.They are guardians who are always ready to sacrifice for others, and every team member has this awareness.

Chris was selectively forgotten by Albert. When he returned to reality, he did not hesitate. After knowing the name and address of the store, he immediately rushed there.There was a streetcar that was slowly stopping in front of him, but he jumped into a taxi on the street, which was faster.

No. 18 Flood Street, East District, "Rosen's Folk Herbal Shop".

The sun had set in the sky more than an hour ago, but its glow still lingered in the western sky, leaving only its last trace.A red moon rose from nowhere and hung alone in the clear night sky.

There is a rare fragrance of earth in the air, and the heavy rain has washed away the unpleasant smell of lead ash and metal. The original smell of lead ash here was brought by the people who live here. They work in the lead factory three blocks away. Work.

Outside the shops on both sides of the street, shop assistants were sweeping away water with brooms. Some shops only had dim candle lights on. It had just rained and there were not many customers anyway, so there was no need to turn on the gas lights.

Chris found the "Rosen's Folk Herbal Shop". It was hidden between two clothing stores. The store was very small. A young man with messy hair like a chicken coop was standing on the curb sweeping water. He was shorter. The face is handsome.

He looked up at Chris, who was wearing a police uniform, and said casually: "Officer, your clothes are wet."

"Is the boss in there?" Chris asked.The young man put the broom at the door, pushed the glass door open a crack, and put his head in: "Boss, a police officer is looking for you."

There was the sound of a chair being pushed away from the store, the wind chimes at the door jingled, and the boss dressed as a witch doctor came out. Rosen Duckweig's dark blue eyes looked at Chris up and down calmly. , smiled and said: "Officer, what's the matter?"

Chris thought about the words in the carriage, and he said slowly: "Are there any herbs that can treat nerve center damage?"

"The nerve center..." Rosen repeated, looking up at him, "Officer, please come in first."

The smell of various herbs was mixed in the store, and Chris could only distinguish two or three of them.There were some herbal bags wrapped in cloth of different colors hanging on the wall, many of which he had never seen before.

"Police officer, there are many causes of nerve center damage. I wonder which cause the injured person suffered from?"

"Poisoned."

Rosen was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure: "Which kind of poison is it?"

Before Chris even asked, Rosen knew that he was not buying medicine for himself. Chris's aura was very healthy, which was the basic skill of a "pharmacist".

Chris also mentioned "poisoning", which was not an ordinary cause of illness. Combined with the triangular badge of the Church of Steam hanging on his chest, Rosen believed that he was a mechanical heart.

His guess was correct.Chris shook his head and said he didn't know either. Then he took off his police uniform, placed it on the counter, and unfolded the hem for him to see.

Rosen turned up the brightness of the gas lamp and looked where Chris pointed. There were black blood stains on his clothes, which were difficult to detect under the dark police uniform.

He picked up the magnifying glass and looked at it carefully, put his face close to it, and sniffed it with his nose.

After a while, he gently put down the magnifying glass, looked up at Chris, and said, "Officer, can you tell me where the injured man's wound is?"

"Right chest," Chris answered.

It seems that the injured person's condition has stabilized...

Rosen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but if the wound was in a vital part, Chris wouldn't ask.

He nodded and said, "It should be the black dahlia toxin."

"Black Dahlia?"

Chris couldn't help but began to suspect that Emperor Russell was also quite accomplished in biology. He had heard of this nickname before.

"Yes," Rosen nodded, "The toxin extracted from this flower can paralyze the nerves."
