From to 1935 2020

At this time, both Lao Shen and Pastor Dong firmly believed that Huang Ke could never be a "secret agent", but who were they?

Pastor Dong feels that the time for the two sides to meet and showdown is not far away.

Huang Ke and Elena's residence was a three-story western-style building with an area of ​​more than 30 square meters on the ground floor.The earliest occupants of this house can be traced back to [-] years ago. The first occupant was a couple of adventurers from Europe, who lost their money in the "rubber storm" scam in the late Qing Dynasty and committed suicide by jumping into the Huangpu River.

Afterwards, the house was taken away by the bank and transferred to the second resident from Russia.A few years later, the First World War broke out. After the Soviet Revolution, the original head of the household was in Russia at the time, encountered the Red Russian Revolutionary Army, and was directly hanged from the street lamp.The house became ownerless and occupied by others, and then sold to a new national capitalist in Shanghai.

At that time, the head of the household was ambitious to focus on his residence, and built several plots of land around him. In the 30s, after the global economic crisis broke out, it was inevitably affected. The business and family property continued to shrink, and then the financial speculation failed and threw themselves into the Huangpu River.

The three heads of the household in a row "could not die well", either hanging street lights or jumping into the Huangpu River.Businessmen and rich people are also very superstitious, so this beautiful western-style building next to the concession area became an unknown thing in the local area, and few people cared about it until it was taken over by Huang Keelina.

During the Republic of China era, smoking opium was a common phenomenon.Big smoke has endangered China for a hundred years, and countless celebrities and celebrities have finally fallen into this poisonous pit.

The dangers of opium smoking are well known to the world.It is quite difficult to fall into this poisonous pit and come out again.And the pain in the process of detoxification is even more unbearable like hell.

Huang Ke in the 1935 plane was able to "hook up" with the top leaders of the Cannon Party so quickly. Using the relationship of Shanghai Jiaotong University to show off his technical capital is only one of them. It really made the rich and powerful in Shanghai "see him and Elena differently" The reason for this came from Eileen's ability.

For the elite, power and wealth are irresistible pursuits.In addition, there is another thing that is even more important in their eyes than the first two.

This thing is called "health".

Anyone who can develop a "low-pain" method of quitting opium will immediately become the object of gratitude for the rich and powerful, and will be treated as a guest of honor.The most famous example is Zhang Xueliang, a young teacher who fell into a drug pit, and the doctor who helped him quit his "morphine addiction" is the best example.

PS: In history, Shaoshuai Zhang was a heavy smoker at first, but was tricked by unscrupulous Japanese doctors and became a morphine ghost.Not only was he himself smoking opium, but his two wives, the famous Yu Fengzhi and Miss Zhao Si, were also smoking opium.During the period of the Republic of China, there were too many high-ranking officials and celebrities who fell into this drug pit. Even Chang Kaishen's secretary, Chen Bulei, was also a heavy smoker.

And the reason why Elena has great experience on how to quit drug addiction is because in the world she lives in, the gods use similar means to control the believers.

"In my world, to judge whether a person is an unbeliever or a servant of God, the means of spiritual discrimination is to see whether he will contribute the power of faith to God, and the physical evidence is to look at their "brain" .In your world, the so-called "drug addicts", the mutation of a certain part of their brain is exactly the same as the believers of gods in my world!"

In order to firmly control the believers and turn them into "long-term leeks" voluntarily dedicated, the gods invented a magical religious ceremony called "Elysium" by the blasphemers.

When tens of thousands of believers gather together to participate in this ceremony with a pious attitude, the gods use spiritual power to send down "divine grace" to connect the spirit of each believer.At that time, the brains of all the believers will be like the drug addicts (crabs) on the earth, secreting a large amount of substances like dopamine, so that they will be ecstatic and happy.

Compared with the large amount of negative damage caused by the injection of various poisons in the earth world, in Elena's world, when the gods harvest the power of faith of mortals and send down "divine grace" in return for the world of bliss, the "mortals" of that world will be killed afterwards. Not only will there be no other negative harmful reactions, but everyone will feel refreshed, clear-headed, and healthy.Long-term acceptance of "God's Grace" to cleanse the body and mind can even achieve the effect of being free from disease and disaster for a lifetime, and dying of normal old age-it can be said to be a nearly perfect means of "mutual benefit and symbiosis" between gods and believers.

If there is a disadvantage, it is that after enjoying the benefits of "Elysium", the believer's body will be like a drug addict, and will also have a strong "withdrawal" dependence reaction. Every believer who has participated will have a "withdrawal" reaction like falling into hell, with extreme pain, and even eventually turned into madness and turned into a living dead. This disease is called "charistic withdrawal" ".

When a cataclysm broke out in another world, the gods encountered the "reverse plunder" of the world, and lost a lot of their own divine power, and it was too late to protect themselves!They are unable to make ends meet, and can no longer conduct mutually beneficial exchanges of "charism and faith" with believers like before.

And the people from other worlds who have relied on "divine grace" for a long time, under the torment of the increasingly severe "withdrawal reaction", quickly lost their minds, became more and more crazy, and finally became the living dead who attacked the living creatures around them like wild beasts .

The crazy living dead that Huang Ke saw in the world were mortals who had lost their "divine grace" and fell into a withdrawal reaction.

As the "favorite" of the gods and an important thug, Elena's strength is infinitely close to that of the gods, but she has not been infected with "divine grace withdrawal". However, in the past 20 disastrous years, she has seen countless Under the torment of "divine grace withdrawal", believers are gradually going crazy.

In the past 20 years, she has dissected the corpses of the living dead countless times, trying to find a cure, but the only medicine for this disease is "divine grace".However, in the era of catastrophe at the end of the day, the gods still rely on harvesting the life, soul, and everything to protect themselves, so how can they self-mutilate themselves to save believers in this terrible era.Except for a few lucky ones who were left as "races" in the way of "drawing one out of a hundred" and had to get a small amount of divine favor, the rest were either directly harvested by the gods in the end, or became destitute in the long-term lack of divine favor. Became the living dead.

Also because of this experience, after Elena came to the earth world, after seeing a large number of addicts in Shanghai Beach, after a little inspection, she easily figured out the reason.

In the high-dimensional alien world, Elena was helpless and could not think of a better alternative treatment method. However, in the low-dimensional earth world, facing the brain damage and lesion reaction caused by opium poisons, However, Elena can use higher-dimensional means to treat the lesions caused by this "low-dimensional" drug dependence.

The first to receive treatment were several "celebrities" from the Republic of China that Huang Ke met through Shanghai Jiaotong University. It took only a week for them to "preliminarily" get rid of their long-term addiction to opium. ", and the whole process was not painful, as soon as the news spread, it immediately caused a sensation among the celebrities in Shanghai.

Then there was this scene today.

Huang Ke and Elena were able to buy a house in the downtown area at such a cheap price, and it was also inseparable from the role of this relationship.

-------------------- Chapter 36 Gifting a Horse --------------------

Huang Jinrong, whose ancestral home is Yuyao, Zhejiang, was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu.The well-known leader of the Youth Gang in old Shanghai, together with Zhang Xiaolin and Du Yuesheng, is known as the three big tycoons in Shanghai.

Huang Jinrong's original wife Lin Guisheng.Lin Guisheng can be said to be the nobleman of Huang Jinrong.When Huang Jinrong was still working as a detective in the French Concession, he met Lin Guisheng who opened a brothel.Lin Gui's appearance is not beautiful, but he is very handsome and has a unique charm when he looks closely.Jin Rong began to pursue Lin Guisheng.Lin Guisheng runs a brothel and sees a lot of men of all kinds. She immediately believes that Huang Jinrong is not an ordinary person, and the two soon get together.

Lin Guisheng was one of the "Three Great Female Hooligans" in the Republic of China, and she enjoyed a lot in old Shanghai.Of course, she is also a knowledgeable, intelligent woman. Ever since she married Huang Jinrong, she has been doing her best to help Huang Jinrong establish youth gangs, accept apprentices, open casinos, sell opium, run theaters, and open brothels. These illegal activities are getting worse and worse. big.With these, Huang Jinrong's power quickly became stronger.

Lin Guisheng is a smart and capable master. Huang Jinrong naturally looks at her with admiration, respects her, and relies on her everywhere.Lin Guisheng opened a brothel and often went to Suzhou and Hangzhou to find beautiful girls.By chance, she bought a beautiful and smart girl. After learning about this girl, she came from a poor background and she was looking for a maid to help her, so she took this girl by her side.

This girl is Li Zhiqing.Li Zhiqing is not only smart, but also extremely savvy, he can learn everything at once, and he is very fond of Lin Guisheng and Huang Jinrong.

Because Lin Guisheng had never given birth, Huang Jinrong had no choice but to adopt an adopted son.The adopted son was deeply favored by Huang Jinrong. When he was a teenager, Huang Jinrong and Lin Guisheng had a discussion and promised Li Zhiqing to him.It's a pity that the adopted son has been in poor health.Not long after they got married, they died of illness.Poor Li Zhiqing became a widow at a young age.

And Huang Jinrong is very sympathetic to his daughter-in-law, and usually cares a lot.In this way, you come and go, and you come and go, and the two get involved together.Huang Jinrong not only cared about Li Zhiqing, but also trusted her very much. He entrusted her to take care of all the affairs of the house, and Li Zhiqing became the chief housekeeper of the Huang family.

This person is obviously Huang Jinrong's daughter-in-law, but at this time her status in the Green Gang is about the same as that of "Ms. Huang".

Compared with the vase-like "so-called celebrities" in the Republic of China, Li Zhiqing himself is also a ruthless person with great skills and abilities.

There is a rich man named Cao Xianming in Shanghai who also likes to pay attention to ostentation. He placed a pair of white marble lions in front of his newly completed mansion, which attracted the attention of many people, but Huang Jinrong was not happy.Because his Huang's garden has just been built, how can he tolerate someone's limelight overshadowing him.

Huang Jinrong secretly tripped Cao Xianming, and it is said that he ordered him to send the pair of white marble lions to his house. Cao Xianming was very unwilling, so he asked Inspector Lu Liankui for help. Kidnapping incident.

The kidnappers found Li Zhiqing and asked for 50 gold bars. Li Zhiqing readily agreed, but only gave 49 gold bars, saying that he didn't have so many gold bars, and replaced the remaining one with his own jewelry.Looking at the golden bars and a pile of jewelry, Lu Liankui was tempted. He never thought that these jewelry would become a reminder.

At that time, although Lu Liankui was very clever, he melted most of the jewelry and recast it into gold bars, thinking that all traces would be erased.However, among this pile of jewelry, there is a gold ear spoon that is too exquisitely made, so I kept it...

Then one day, Lu Liankui's concubine took his golden ear spoon to the pawnshop to pawn, and went home happily with the money.How did she know that these jewelry had been stamped, the pawnshop soon notified Huang Jinrong, Huang Jinrong followed the clues, found Lu Liankui, and killed him.

And this woman named Li Zhiqing did more than that. In history, when the People's Liberation Army was about to liberate all of China in 1949, she even swept away Huang Jinrong's family property and left Huang Jinrong empty-handed. Shanghai......

Huang Jinrong is a big smoker.Li Zhiqing came to the door today, in fact, to express his "appreciation" on behalf of Huang Jinrong.

In the past half a month, Elena and Huang Ke teamed up to help [-] heavy smokers quit smoking with the magical "ancient qigong technique". After the news spread, it immediately caused a lot of trouble in the upper circles. Even Huang Jinrong was moved by the sensation.

During this period of time, Huang Ke and Elena cleverly packaged and hyped themselves, and the so-called "celebrities" in Shanghai Zutan all regarded Elena as a "famous lady" who came from a mysterious rich family abroad. ", and then met Huang Ke, the "Chinese little boy", and was finally abducted.

When Li Zhiqing came to the door, Elena and Huang Ke were in the "convalescence room" on the second floor of their residence, giving five "ladies" drug rehabilitation treatment.

There were five single beds in a row in the room, and there were five women lying on the beds. The one with the lowest status and background was also the "wife" of a wealthy businessman in the concession.When Li Zhiqing came in, Huang Ke was standing next to a person lying on the bed, with his body slightly bent, and his hands on her temples.Elena was standing on her left hand, and her outstretched hands were pressed on the back of Huang Ke's.

According to the two, they are teaming up to use the "Qigong magic" secret technique combining Chinese and Western techniques to get rid of the addiction to cigarettes for the police chief's wife on the bed.

The earth world is a world of poor demons that is extremely unfriendly to extraordinary powers, but this world of poor demons has a "blind spot of rich demons", which is precisely the tiny wormhole that Huang Ke obtained not long ago.

After getting the wormhole, Huang Ke quickly discovered that the wormhole is like a binding, and can flow freely in any position of his body according to his personal will.

And Eileen also discovered that the inside of the wormhole itself forms a world of its own, operating according to complete "extraordinary" laws - but the volume of this world is too small, with a diameter of only 0.5 millimeters at present.And within one meter from the wormhole, depending on the distance, the supernatural power can also obtain a certain permission to exist, and the closer to the blind spot, the more unlimited the supernatural power can be cast.

This is not a small loophole, allowing the two to partially exert their supernatural powers, such as using magic to improve the frontal lobe of the brain caused by smoking opium in patients, and to treat drug addiction.

With the environment of the earth world and Elena's ability, she and Huang Ke teamed up to help more than 20 people recover the front lobe of their brains and quit smoking in a day.

But in fact, in line with the principle of maximizing the benefits from these "poisonous ghosts", according to the means of hunger marketing, the treatment cycle has been dragged to "a course of seven days", and only ten people can be treated at most every day.One in the morning and one in the afternoon, only five people each time.

In the past two weeks, Huang Ke and Elena helped 500 celebrities in Shanghai get rid of their addiction to cigarettes, and squeezed an average of more than [-] yuan from each of them, as well as countless "favors" .

And favors are often priceless!And it can do a lot.

For example, now Huang Ke is planning to get a direct flight ticket from Shanghai to Chengdu, Sichuan.During this period of the Republic of China, there were no flights in this area at all. Only through the presence of these big figures in Shanghai can we contact special planes.

When Li Zhiqing came over, the treatment of Huang Ke and Elena had come to an end.The five "female guests" on the bed, under the effect of hypnotic magic, have fallen into a deep state of sweet sleep at this time.The two withdrew their hands and retreated, while the female assistant who had been prepared by the side was busy covering her with a quilt.

The female assistant is also a work-study girl from Jiaotong University—in fact, in the villa where Huang Ke and Elena live, even the servants who clean the rooms are all work-study students from Jiaotong University.He offered them "high wages" at the price of an ocean a day.Invisibly, this also severely brushed a wave of force.

Li Zhiqing sat quietly in the downstairs living room and waited. The music of "The Blue Danube" echoed slightly in the living room.Li Zhiqing saw the two large speakers that spoke, but couldn't find the record player.At the same time, the student maid served her favorite Bingqilin cold drink for her honored guest.

While tasting, Li Zhiqing looked at the tea table made of glass and steel in front of him.

Huang Ke and Elena's residence paid great attention to lighting, with gothic floor-to-ceiling windows, and the decoration style was simple, not luxurious.But a few appliances stood out.

For example, the huge and beautiful "Electric" brand refrigerator in the living room. The guests who have been here have seen it and inquired about buying one. place to buy.....

There are also vacuum cleaners, air conditioners, disinfection cabinets, and dishwashers, although at this time in Shanghai, the Paris of the East, there were similar products of the same kind even in Huang Jinrong's own home.However, compared with the products of the 30st century, the products of the technological level in the 21s are simply inferior products produced in backward countryside.

The beautiful pure fiberglass tea table in front of him is an extremely luxurious thing in Li Zhiqing's eyes.Sitting there, holding a bowl and a spoon, pretending to be a lady and tasting ice cream, in Li Zhiqing's mind, he couldn't stop recalling that when he was in contact with Elena a few days ago, he saw the ice cream on her neck. Those precious gemstone necklaces, and her face so beautiful that any woman would go crazy with envy.

"It can't be compared, it can't be compared... This girl is the eldest lady of a foreigner's noble family..."

Li Zhiqing sighed in his heart, and looked at the grateful gift he brought, which was a certificate of horse pedigree.A few days ago, when Elena and Huang Ke helped Huang Jinrong detoxify from drugs, they didn't ask them for money, but "hoped" that Huang Jinrong could help him get a beautiful horse.

No money is the most expensive thing. After successfully getting rid of the addiction to opium, Huang Jinrong got a famous horse from Europe immediately through his relationship, and then Li Zhiqing came to the door with the horse's certificate.

Thanks nuclear for rewarding again

-------------------- Chapter 37 Showdown --------------------

The horse that Huang Jinrong sent was a good horse, a purebred Arabian horse.

There are also horses in different worlds, but they are unicorns. Before the cataclysm, Elena’s mount was a pure white wildebeest (unicorn)

That night, Elena rode a horse along the Suzhou Creek around the Bund in Shanghai, and returned to her residence around ten o'clock in the evening.

The lights on the third floor of the foreign-style building where he lived were still on at this time, and from a distance, the place where the lights were lit was Huang Ke's personal studio.It has been more than 20 days since I lost contact with Huang Ke from another time and space, but Huang Ke seems to have endless things to do, and his daily schedule is full.During the day, he either gave lectures to college students in Jiaotong University, or was invited by capitalists in Shanghai to deal with mechanical problems in factories.In the evening, he either has to deal with the dinner, or just nests in his workshop, manipulating the recently acquired small machine tools to make some metal tools—for example, gun silencers, wall-climbing tools, firearm transformation components, etc. .In addition, what he did the most was to continue to learn the knowledge that Elena taught his constructor.

During the period, Huang Ke also went out at night, but at this time he was exercising outside, and at the same time testing his body after being promoted and strengthened by the different world.

Compared to Huang Ke, who was so busy that he wanted to cut it into pieces for two, Elena was on the contrary, and even lived like a "walking dead".

Revenge against the gods is actually just a reason for her to "live".

Most of the time, they are living in a daze without knowing what is meant.

Going to the streets to "collect" those abandoned babies, baby sellers, and homeless children came back, but after her spirit completely collapsed, the remaining good nature was at work, only when she saw the happy smiles on the faces of those children, she Only occasionally will some "living people" get angry on their faces.

And most of the time, she is an iceberg beauty with dull eyes...

"This foreign girl seems to have some mental problems, it feels weird..."

This was the evaluation in the hearts of almost every outsider who had contacted Huang Ke after she followed Huang Ke to Shanghai Bund.Eileen, who was already infinitely close to death mentally, is now completely relying on hatred and a sense of atonement for helping young children, barely supporting her life.

"The current her is both an iceberg and a volcano. An iceberg means that she has almost completely frozen her heart, while a volcano means that she is now a very unstable factor, and she will go crazy and explode and kill randomly at any time..."

With such teammates, Huang Ke said: In fact, I feel very uncomfortable...

Huang Ke, who was born as a straight man of steel, doesn't know how to comfort a woman at all, and has lost contact with his future self. Now it is actually a headache for her.

Huang Ke, who works in the workshop upstairs, is currently manually making a silencer for a submachine gun—this is preparation work for future zero-dollar purchases.

Several cutting machines, milling machines, and drilling machines in the workshop were bought by him during this period from foreigners or bankrupt business owners.During the period of "being idle and bored", Huang Ke also manually built a bullet compactor by himself, which can reload bullets with recycled shell casings.

In order to get rid of the "unstable female lunatic" who caused him headaches as soon as possible, Huang Ke has already made up his mind: within a month, he must take her to catch up with the Red Army team that is on the Long March, and then let the most outstanding Chinese in this era The group went to "educate and guide" her.

But when you go, you definitely can't go there empty-handed like this.Elena's interspatial cross necklace, which she temporarily lent to Huang Ke for use, is now hanging on Huang Ke's chest - Elena noticed that when this interspatial necklace and the space-time singularity on his body were in contact for a long time, , the limited "free space" inside can slowly expand.During the seven days of contact, a full ten cubic meters of space has been added.

The space equipment on Elena's body is not only a cross, she also has several spare space rings, these are all captured after she fought with other world powerhouses who accidentally entered that world at the dusk of the end of the day.However, compared to the special artifacts created by the gods, the capacity of these space rings in the earth world has shrunk seriously, and the space for storing materials ranges from one to several cubic meters, which is far behind the space of the cross.

During this period of time, Huang Ke has already found a few rough targets for zero yuan purchases, and is just waiting to collect perfect information and choose the most appropriate time.

Outside by the Suzhou River, when Eileen was gradually approaching the residence on horseback, she noticed a figure running away at the door of the residence. When running away, the figure turned back and glanced in her direction.

The man who ran away left a small cloth bag on the ground.

Elena took a closer look and found a baby wrapped in a cloth bag—a baby who was just born, and the umbilical cord had just been cut...

"Another abandoned child..."

It was Pastor Dong who spoke. He looked at the child Elena brought in and sighed.After Elena's orphanage opened, in just ten days, there were exactly ten children who were intentionally thrown at the orphanage's gate like today's.But now in the market outside, you can easily buy a child from parents who "sell their sons and daughters" along the street as long as you pay the low price of two baked noodle cakes.Some of the young children in the Elena Orphanage are older children, while the remaining 60 or so children are all young children under the age of three.

"Infant drowning is a common phenomenon in this era. They can't afford it, they can't keep it alive, and they can't raise it big... Except for the families of wealthy landlords and families above the middle class, almost every household, as long as they can give birth to a baby, finally Most of them have to face this painful choice.”
