As soon as he finished speaking, Jacob suddenly stood up from his seat, stretched his muscles, and said casually:"I'll forget it, the little old man is still waiting for me in the nursing home...."
Looking at Jacob walking towards the door, Evie blinked her eyes and called out to her brother:"Jacob!"
After a pause, Jacob turned his head slightly impatiently,"What's wrong?"
"Be careful, don't get yourself into any trouble again..."
Hearing this, Jacob raised his brows slightly, shrugged, spread his hands, and deliberately joked:"I can't guarantee whether trouble will come to me...."
When Jacob went out for an appointment, he didn't know when it was drizzling in London.
Along with the icy raindrops, strong winds are also challenging the warmth of Londoners.
It was as if God was also telling him that things can change in an instant. He put on his hood and ran freely on the roof. Jacob enjoyed a special service of rain washing away his depression.
Soon, he saw Darwin standing at the door of the nursing home, struggling with the umbrella in his hand.
The founder of the theory of evolution, as Jacob said, was no different from an ordinary old British man.
However, when the great biologist saw Jacob, he immediately made a move that was unbecoming of a respected elder: he directly let go of the umbrella in his hand and let it be blown by the noisy wind. fly!
Then, he turned around and greeted Jacob:"Sir Frye! I believe you had a very productive meeting with Mr. Owen?"
Richard Owen, a famous biologist He was also Darwin's most loyal opponent when he proposed"The Origin of Species".
He also worked at Lambeth Sanatorium, and it was from him that Jacob obtained the valuable information that John Elison was the man who made the potion.
"Oh, we had a great chat, and he told me that the man who helped Starry make the pain-relieving potion was John Elison"
"Dr. John Elison? I haven't heard that name in a long time. He was a cardiologist until he became obsessed with hypnotism and phrenology, which completely ruined his career...."
After a pause, Darwin reached out and moved the top hat on his head, trying his best to prevent the dripping rainwater from dripping directly into the back of his neck. He did not forget to continue to seek Jacob's opinion:
"So how should we track it down?"
Hearing this, Jacob raised his brows, lowered his head and put on his hat, bowed slightly to Darwin, and said:"With all due respect, Your Excellency Darwin, I think it would be better for me to do it by myself next. After all, none of us want to welcome...Unnecessary attention, right?"
"Sounds very sensible!"
After that, Darwin raised his eyebrows at Jacob and patted him on the shoulder,"Then I wish you good luck, young man!"
After telling Jacob to find him when he had time, Darwin turned and left, leaving only a handsome figure behind.
"What an interesting old man..."
While muttering, Jacob turned around and looked at the still brightly lit nursing home. His face darkened and he said to himself:"Okay, it's time to have some fun for yourself...."
On the train, Leon was teaching Evie Systemma fighting skills and Krav Maga. Evie's learning ability is extremely powerful. The difference between Krav Maga and other fighting techniques is that she can complete technical actions as quickly as possible according to the actual situation.
What Leon wants to teach Evie are two sets of Krav Maga for military and police use.
While the fundamental principle of Systemma is non-destruction, Systemma's training mainly focuses on control. Systemma’s training emphasizes (1) breathing)、(2)relaxation)、(3) The principles of body alignment and (4) continuous movement (keepmoving), etc., with the least, most effective movements to produce the greatest effect as the basic guiding principles.
The basic principle of Systemma is to relax, use the minimum force to guide and control the opponent, do not have a strong awareness of the enemy to avoid stimulating confrontation, and emphasize the attack intention of directly eliminating threats; when fighting in close combat, there are no moves to attack naturally due to changes in the enemy. Although most of the training is conducted in the form of sparring, it does not include routine drills, move splits, situational simulations and other training modes commonly used in most martial arts.
······
It was not until the next morning that he came to the train hideout and took the initiative to confess to others what he had done.
Evie was obviously very angry at her brother's reckless and impulsive behavior.
Perhaps this kind of thing happened too many times since she was a child, which made Evie form a prejudice.
She didn't wait for Jacob to tell the reason, then she directly reprimanded:"Jacob, what are you thinking in your mind?!"
"Your mission should have been to monitor Elison's every move and find out all the owners of the potion formula, not to just kill him!"
Jacob, who knew that he was in the wrong, just sat on the seat without saying a word, and did not refute his twin sister as usual.
However, this kind of dead pig's appearance of not being afraid of boiling water made Yi Wei felt even more angry.
Just when she wanted to continue talking, Leon standing aside suddenly interrupted:"Evie!"
Ivy shook her head in anger. Leon took half a step forward and said,"Jacob, do you still remember our bet?"
This sentence seemed to have some kind of magic power, which immediately attracted Jacob's attention.
He raised his head slightly and looked at Leon with a slightly doubtful look.
"of course I remember"
"Then you should remember that you once promised me to obey my orders, but you have not done so now."
After that, Leon looked solemn and said deliberately:"I originally thought you were a person who keeps his promises....It seems that I was wrong."
Hearing this, Jacob reacted immediately.
Among all the people present, the one he least wanted to disappoint was not Evie, the twin sister, nor Green, the senior of the London Assassin Organization, but Leon, who had defeated him.!
Because his self-esteem did not allow him to bow his head again in front of Leon!
Jacob, who had been provoked, changed his silence, stared closely into Leon's eyes, and said:"You have no idea, where will I meet you?" What happened!"
"Then tell me, why did you kill Elison even if you broke your promise?!"
This question is also the doubt in the hearts of Evie and Green.
Looking at the eyes focused on him, Jacob couldn't help but take it off and told everything he saw in the nursing home last night.
After saying that, Ya Gebu also asked a thought-provoking question:"If it were you, would you watch him continue to torture those poor patients? I can't do it anyway."
As soon as the words fell, there was a moment of silence in the carriage.
After a while, Evie finally asked:"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Shrugging, spreading his hands, Jacob pretended to be indifferent and said lightly:"Dear sister, I don't want to defend my behavior. After all, no matter what the reason is, it can't change the fact that I don't obey orders...."
Hearing this, Evie opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.
At this time, Leon on the side suddenly took over the conversation and said:"Jacob······well done."
This sentence made everyone stunned for a moment.
Especially Jacob, whose eyes widened slightly and looked at Leon with confusion:"You mean?...Am I doing well?"
"hear me out...Before killing Elison, I will dig out the information I want from him."
"Have you done this?"
Facing Leon, Jacob scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, unable to answer:"Uh..."
Giving Jacob a look to let him slowly understand, Leon turned around and came to the assassination wall, burned Elison's photo, and changed the subject:
"In fact, killing Elison is not a bad thing. After all, I never thought about letting him live from the beginning"
"However, once Elison dies, we don't know if there is anyone else in Starry who can make the potion. This puts us in a passive situation, and the development of the situation is no longer under our control."
"I'm afraid we don't have much time left to react...."
······
The more you fear something, the more it will come to you.
As Leon expected, things were out of their control.
The day after Elison's death, Starry Company announced that the analgesic potion on the market would be permanently discontinued!
This news made Evie and others temporarily relieved, but Leon's brows began to frown.
However, what happened next made them fully realize the seriousness of affecting the whole body.
With Elison's death, the family suffered huge losses.Taree Corporation, stopped funding Lambeth Nursing Home.
In desperation, the nursing home was forced to close. A large number of mental patients in the hospital were also sent home or to other places, which increased the burden on public security in various areas of Fog City.
Not only that, but the closure of nursing homes has caused problems for an important part of the entire city's health care system.
The city's medicine supply suddenly fell into chaos.
Counterfeit medicines have flowed into the market and flooded the market; real medicines have been secretly sold to rich people by profiteers in the black market, earning high profits....
In order to obtain drug supplies, Jacob and Evie went to St. Thomas Hospital, hoping to find Dr. Morrance, who treated Alice last time, and ask about the drug supplier.
However, what the two did not expect was that they actually met the"Lamp Lady" Nightingale who came to inspect the hospital!
As early as eight years ago, Nightingale used the 4,000 poundssterling awarded by the government to create the world's first nursing school at St. Thomas Hospital.
Knowing the purpose of Jacob and Evie's visit, Nightingale pointed out to them the largest black market in the foggy city, located in Lambeth District!
Many stolen medicines and supplies were moved there and auctioned off at high prices.
As long as they get back a sufficient batch of medicines, she can produce the medicines needed by the people. Until the hospital's medicine supply is restored, Fog City will also get through this medical crisis.
