Mirror of Permanence

Chapter 321 You Are Too Much Trouble

A new investigation has begun.

But this time, Lu Ye didn't chase Du Wei into the investigation. Du Wei's situation was well laid out. If Lu Ye followed him this time, it would be easy to detonate in advance.

It can only be said that in the world of martial arts, Lu Ye did too much trouble, and a lot of magical skills flowed out of his hands, which vaguely raised the level of force in the entire world.

If Lu Ye is still with Du Wei, I'm afraid some things will be difficult to deal with.

Even Fang Pi was dismissed by the mysterious voice and transferred to another world to complete the investigation.

"It's been a long time since I came to observe the world with my real body." Lu also looked up at the world. He had been hiding under the dreamland for a month in reality, but this time he was able to come out with his real body after entering the investigation.

Observe the world, then take two steps forward.

The world has become more colorful in Lu Ye's eyes, and of course it also reveals the rigidity behind it.

It is rumored that in the past there were spirits in the heaven and earth, and there were witches among human beings. The witches communicated with the sky and the earth, and could transmit human will to the sky and the earth, and the sky and the earth gave feedback.

After the world slowly lost its spirit, the witches also slowly transformed. Some of the witches observed the small world of the human body, confirmed the big world, and evolved into warriors based on the witch dance that worshiped the world.

So most of the world today, although it is still in operation, does not have the existence of world consciousness. Under the splendor of the world, there is a dead silence.

These gains were quickly remembered by Lu Ye, and then summarized into his own martial arts system.

However, it was stained with blood.

It was only at this time that Lu Ye came back to his senses. He turned his head and looked behind him. Several people fell to the ground, dragging a bloody path.

These few people seemed to have been hit head-on by a high-speed rail. They almost fell apart, and blood flowed all over the ground. Their relatively intact faces were filled with panic and collapse. People around them stood away in horror, not daring to Stand in front of this bloody road.

There is no doubt that these people died, and Lu didn't know them, and they didn't know Lu Ye, and they couldn't even see Lu Ye's existence.

They were just ordinary passers-by, walking on the road, suddenly felt hit, and then fell to the ground dead.

Lu Ye stood in front of this bloody road, his body was not stained with any blood, and he was still so clean and tidy.

"Have you lost your mind again?" Lu Ye murmured to himself, because he was immersed in the expansion of the dreamland before, he succeeded in making troubles with his teeth and involved Liu Wei's daughter, but now he was even more distracted, and walked two steps, He hit and killed several passers-by.

"The progress is too fast, and the control over the body has dropped a lot." Lu also sighed, and then opened the dreamland again, began to expand the dreamland in this world, and released the dream clone again.

A sickly tall and thin boy, wearing a neat dark red suit and holding a civilized stick, appeared not far away again. He stroked the head of a dragon and tiger on the stick, and saw the police detective driving over in a carriage. .

"Viscount Zhou Liu of Heiyou Port passed away. As one of his relatives, you received a letter from him, in which he invited you to inherit part of the estate and investigate the cause of Viscount Zhou Liu's death."

The mysterious voice sounded as usual, and because of the pendant, Lu also acquired a relatively important identity.

At this time, Lu also found that there was an extra bag on his body.

Open the bag, there are some things inside.

A letter that has been opened, signed by Zhou Fu, the housekeeper of the Viscount Zhou Liu's mansion.

In addition, there are a revolver, several coins of different denominations, some fish patterns on the back of the coins, several history books, and a ring inlaid with black gemstones. , seems to have an outline, but it cannot be seen clearly.

Watching the police detective start to clean up the tragedies he caused, Lu also flipped through those few history books.

Obviously, the history of this world has gone wrong, and modern technology has not been developed. Of course, for this world, modern technology may be crooked.

As for how things went wrong, we have to start from the sea.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the steam engine was popularized and applied, and manpower was liberated to a large extent.

At the same time, with the explosive growth of technology and industrial knowledge, people's motivation and enthusiasm for learning have grown simultaneously, and the demand for indoor lighting has risen sharply.

However, at this time, there are two main options for lighting. One is gas, but the production cost of gas is high, and the transportation is not convenient under the circumstances at that time.

So most people choose the second one, which is whale oil, which is the fat obtained by boiling the subcutaneous tissue, internal organs and bones of whales.

As a result, the whaling industry has been vigorously developed, and even became the first globalized industry.

At that time, catching a whale brought a lot of income to each crew member. This kind of income even allowed some women to pretend to be men and work on the ship. Whaling even became a very glamorous profession.

The reality is that in the 19th century, people slowly discovered the role of oil, and it was not until the 20th century that they gradually gave up whaling.

But no one in this world has drilled oil wells, so the whales in this world are slowly being hunted down. At this time, a sea monster with black blood suddenly appeared on the sea.

After people hunted sea monsters, they found that their blood could replace whale oil, and even this black blood could burn more fully, providing more heat in a short period of time, and after treatment, the burning fire became brighter and more delicate.

The most important thing is that sea monsters have become very numerous and reproduce very quickly.

As a result, the whaling industry changed extremely quickly to catching sea monsters. With the help of this industry, the development of science and technology has also accelerated.

People also gave the sea monster an official name: the fish.

If you catch a lot of people, you can even get the title of nobility.

Heiyou Port is such a port that goes out to sea to catch squid, and Viscount Zhou Liu is the nobleman who first caught squid.

His noble mansion is located on the mountainside of Tinghai Mountain outside Heiyou Port, where he can overlook the entire Heiyou Port and the sea.

The Zhou family has its own fishing fleet, as well as a fish oil processing factory, and is the best of the best in the entire Black Oil Port.

Along the way, Lu also discovered a lot of information related to the Zhou family.

Then I went to the Public Security Bureau of Heiyougang.

The few people who were killed before were transported here. After a simple inspection, the Public Security Bureau came to the conclusion that they died of falling from a height. It was determined that these people jumped to their deaths at the same time, so they called their family members.

Lu also looked at these family members, remained silent, and turned around and left after a while.

He called a carriage and went to the Viscount Zhou Liu's mansion in Tinghaishan.

The world is now at the end of the 19th century. In 1883, various fish-based industries were still booming. Steam carriages and even steam planes powered by fish oil had appeared in some big cities, but most areas still used carriage.

The carriage passed through the relatively spacious mountain road, and Lu also arrived in front of this ancient castle built on the mountain.

Looking around, I saw a few people.
