Miss Gudazi, who almost became a walker, is saving humanity

"Shadow time is coming to an end. If you don't want to attract attention, you'd better put away your weapons and armor."

"Shadow time? You said this word before, but what are you talking about?"

"Well—if you talk about England, it's [Magic], and if you talk about London, it's [Detective]. If you want to know, try to solve all these mysteries, amateurs."

Li Jiang jumped back vigorously and landed on top of the street lamp behind her.

"However, can you solve these [mysteries]? Or, when you solve these mysteries, is there really still time?"

After saying this, Li Jiang jumped up high and disappeared into the night sky.

Then, the pointers on all the clocks that were stagnant moved forward by one step at the same time.

In the next moment, countless [light] and [life] filled the city.

■London

The moment the bell rang, Li Jiang disappeared.This London, which was originally empty, was suddenly full of pedestrians.

Lixiang immediately understood what Lijiang meant by "Words that don't want to attract attention", and took the hand of Matthew, who was still a little unresponsive, and hid in a side alley.

[Suddenly, multiple biological reactions appeared around. ]

Roman said suspiciously,

[How is this going? ]

"It's not that [there is no one in this city], it's that [this city will become empty for a while]."

Li Xiang responded aloud, leaning against the exit of the alley to observe the outside world.

There are lights everywhere, and there are quite a few pedestrians outside.I have to say that London in 1888 was surprisingly lively.

——But it’s not surprising, after all, the streets have become like that.

Lixiang just saw it.While the city was transformed from a deserted city to a populated one, the damaged streets did not recover.

At this moment, the girl thought of Li Jiang and clicked her tongue involuntarily.

"What a guy with a bad personality, obviously a copy of me."

Then, she looked at Matthew and the personal terminal on her wrist.

"It's not an option to hide here all the time. Since there are pedestrians, it's time to ask them for some information. But before that—even if you cancel the Servant, the little eggplant is still wearing the uniform of Chaldea, right?"

[On this point, leave it to me, the reliable genius Da Vinci~]

Da Vinci grabbed Roman's microphone and said,

[Analysis of the techniques used in the Ten Commandments.In fact, in addition to turning the Southern Cross into a card that can be carried around, I have also researched another way to use it.After all, you can fight with all your strength wearing the nun's uniform full of crosses, so I only equip Mash with the new dress—in short, it is the concept dress of [Clothing Change]. ]

"Eh?"

Mash made a somewhat unexpected sound.

She searched after disabling the Servant, and then found a concept dress she had never seen before in the card case that contained the concept dress.

[I sent the data of fashionable clothes in London in 1888.Just in case, the style chosen is the style of the gentleman class. ]

So Mash used the conceptual dress on herself, and the clothes on her body became more like the so-called "lady" style in the next moment.

Lixiang looked at it for a while, and Matthew, who was watched by her, blushed and lowered her head.

"That...Senior, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just think our little eggplant is really pretty."

"..."

Mash blushed even more.

Fufu jumped onto Lixiang's shoulder, patted her shoulder and revealed the expression of "I'm so relieved", which made Lixiang tilt her head in doubt.

After Ma Xiu changed her clothes, Li Xiang walked out of the alley and walked towards the crowd.

"My house!!"

As soon as he got close to the crowd, Li Xiang heard such a cry that probably people all over the world could understand to a certain extent.

"Me, I just bought a house!!"

"It's really bad, the roof is falling off."

Listening to these conversations, Lixiang felt a little guilty for a while.

——After all, that house was demolished when she and Li Jiang fought.

"Shadow time really exists."

"This is the evidence that London is about to be destroyed! The end is coming!!"

"It's just an accident like a ghost or a vampire. How could the rumors of the end of London be true?!"

"The bringer of doom will bring his cavalry to burn London!!"

"What [the Hell Corps from the future] is a joke! How can a country like Germany compare to our British Empire!!"

Lixiang and Matthew walked through the crowd, trying to collect information through [listening], the most primitive means of information collection for human beings.

But as far as the theory of consequence is concerned, the more they listen, the less they understand.Therefore, Lixiang decided to find someone to ask.

She found a person who was most likely to answer their questions through her observation, and first asked that person what [Shadow Time] was.

"Don't you know? This Sister."

"Well... I've only just come to London."

"You just came to London?!"

"Yes, I was just sent here. To be honest, I don't even know why I need to be sent here."

"Thank God, you must be sent by the church to support this London. I am... um, anyway, let's start with the movie time. But, how should I say it?"

The person who was caught by Lixiang for questioning removed the monocle from his face and wiped it, then said,

"Actually, before this kind of thing happened before my eyes, I always thought that the movie time was just an ordinary rumor."

"rumor?"

"Yes, rumors. There have been a lot of rumors in London recently, and the newspapers only report on those rumors. Like Spring Heeled Jack, the Strangulation scare, ghost cemeteries, and vampire plagues. And so on. One of the rumors is this, [Shadow Time]."

5. City of rumors

□London·Suddenly more people on the street

"Recently, [rumours] have been circulating in the city."

The passer-by who was caught by Lixiang to ask the question said so.

"Such as [a street where people will be strangled if they walk in it], and [a pumpkin monster that haunts rainy nights]. The most popular [rumor]... well, there are about four of them?"

"Four?"

"[Vampire Hidden in the City], [Demon Corps from the Future], [London's End]——and [Shadow Time] that you asked, nun."

'... Isn't that too much?rumor.And, since there are so many rumours—'

Thinking of this, Li Xiang asked aloud: "Is there no such thing as the Ripper?"

"What's that?" The passer-by raised his eyebrows, "A new rumor?"

"...No, it's nothing, please continue talking."

"Oh oh. I don't know when a rumor suddenly became popular in London, saying that a day is actually not 24 hours but 25 hours, and the hour between 12 midnight and 1 am is hidden-that is The so-called [Shadow Time]."

Hearing this, Li Xiang remembered that in that deserted city, all the clocks had indeed stopped at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.

"Oh, I didn't expect that rumor to be true."

Looking at the destroyed street, the passer-by said with some emotion,

"The monsters hiding in the shadow time will destroy people's homes, so everyone's houses will occasionally shatter for no apparent reason. I didn't expect to see this scene in reality. Could it be that the other rumors are also true? ?”

"Others? Sorry, if it's convenient, can you tell me about other rumors by the way?"

"I don't really know much about rumors. If it wasn't for the spread of the rumors in the movie time, I wouldn't know about it, would I?"

As he spoke, the passer-by stroked his chin and bowed his head in thought.

"The rumor about vampires is that there is a society full of vampires hidden in London, and the pumpkin monster is one of the so-called rumors about murderers. As for the end of London, it's even more ridiculous—what does the rumor say [ London will be destroyed in a fire] or something."

"Then, what about [the demon army from the future]?"

"That's the subject of newspaper hype, not even rumors."

Passers-by showed an expression that they saw someone throwing the river turtle into the sea and claimed to be doing a good deed.But just when he was about to say something, a sudden voice interrupted his conversation.

"What are you all doing here!!"

A group of law enforcement officers who wore uniforms and played almost no practical role in the Sherlock Holmes episodes rushed from around.

"Everyone disperse, all disperse! Go back to your own home!!"

Seeing these law enforcers, the passer-by who was grabbed by Lixiang for questioning immediately panicked.

"There is something about the Future Corps in this newspaper, you can read it yourself, this nun. I still have something to do, I'll go first—"

Before he could move his legs, Lixiang reached out and grabbed him.

"It's okay to go, but you have to give me back those crosses you stole just now."

"...Tsk!"

The passer-by clicked his tongue with an ugly face, threw the things in his hand towards Lixiang, and then ran away in a flash the moment Lixiang let go.

As for the thing thrown by passers-by, it was the cross on Lixiang's skirt.

"Senior? This is—"

"Oh, he's a thief, probably a habitual offender."

Pressing the cross back on the skirt, Li Xiang said indifferently while unfolding the newspaper,

"Ordinary people are not so easy to talk to. Thanks to him not being a good person, information can be obtained so easily."

——As I said before, what Lixiang caught was a passerby who could inquire about the information.

Leaning against a nearby street lamp pole, Li Xiang began to read the words in the newspaper by the faint light.

As she read on and on, she couldn't help but fall silent.The expression became more and more subtle, as if he had seen something extremely surprising.

"Senior? What happened?"

"Oh, this..." For a while, Lixiang didn't know how to explain what he saw, so he had to hand the map to Matthew, "Look at it yourself, little eggplant."

So Matthew took the map from Lixiang.

Then, she also showed the same expression as Tachika.

——This is the story in the newspaper.

It is said that there will be two great wars in the future, and a certain demon in the second great war ushered in defeat at the end of the war.

The defeated demon tried to kill himself, but he was saved by the last of his minions before committing suicide.And his subordinates actually succeeded in creating the [Time Machine], so the devil took his last subordinate - [The Last Brigade] back to London from the future by relying on the power of the time machine, in order to destroy Britain in the past.

That demon is called the [Führer], and his power is called the [Third Reich].

"……Hey."

After Mash also finished reading the newspaper and showed an expression of "the truth of the universe is here", Lixiang raised his hand to cover his face and looked at the night sky.

"This is London in 1888, before the First World War... Are you kidding me?"

■London, a park that was once popular with homeless people

After all, it was night, so I still had to find a place to rest temporarily.

After searching for a lot, Lixiang and Matthew finally settled on a free park.This park has water and lights, and there are obstacles around it that can block the wind.And, no one.

——But it is worth mentioning that London in 1888 should actually have no taps.

——But here is the singularity.

"Little girl, are you going to spend the night in this park?"

An old man who just passed by and looked like a senior homeless man said to them out of kindness, 0.~⑧~③ ⑦.[-]~② ㈨.⑨⑤
