Chapter 175 Departure

Plague, the killing machine of the Middle Ages.

In the face of natural disasters, human beings are often insignificant and can only make up for the aftermath, but cannot fight against natural disasters. But in the face of the plague, human beings themselves are the greatest “evil”.

The plague, the Black Death, the Great Plague of London, in Earth’s history, every outbreak of plague was an inhuman slaughter. But in this massacre, it is not only the plague that is wielding the butcher’s knife, but human beings are also one of them.

When the plague appeared on the earth, no matter how happy and fond it was, when the symptoms of coughing, sneezing, and difficulty breathing appeared, all people would fall into an extreme state. They, on guard against each other, fear each other, and if any symptoms appear, they will kill to the last one.

In the long history of mankind, there is no shortage of cases where a person in a village was infected with a plague, and as a result, a village was slaughtered and burned. But this is not the saddest thing, the saddest thing is that in those barbaric times, doing so was the right and only choice.

So, in this world with professionals, will the plague become weaker?

The answer is, no.

The plague will be more terrifying than Earth.

Perhaps the difference from Earth, this world really has souls, and many species in this world can interfere with souls. Among them is the plague of this world.

The plague of this world is not a single bacterium, it is a kind of creature, an invader against human soul and body. When a person is infected with the plague, his body will first become diseased, then spread to the soul, and finally be completely occupied by the plague, becoming a slave of the plague.

And then, it spreads

“Well, well, I see.”

In the early morning, Zhou Li hung up Roja’s phone, face An unprecedented dignified expression appeared on his face. Elma on the side handed Bai Lu to him, and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong?”

“A suspected plague-infected person appeared in the DC area.”

Zhou Li took Bai Lu, Going to the table, looking at the golden bacon baked in front of you, brows tightly frowns, “Six families have now been quarantined, and one family has died completely. The cause of death is a disease, but according to Roja, that kind of disease It’s because physique is too weak to support the plague, and has been squeezed to death.”

“Plague…”

Elma’s eyes flashed with concern, she had read the book and knew What a terrifying existence the plague is. Sitting next to Zhou Li, she asked softly, “Should we take care of it?”

“No way.”

Zhou Li shook the head , to the plague of this world , Even he was a little helpless, “You and I have immortal physique, the plague can’t be implanted in our body. But this is just an example, it can’t be universal to everyone. We don’t have a cure for the plague, Roja called me It’s also just a reminder to me that I hope I’ll reduce going out recently and be careful about protection.”

“en. ”

Elma nods, she didn’t try to persuade Zhou Li to save others, or she didn’t at all. Thinking like this, she just had a sad expression on her face, and said in a slightly low voice, “Do you need me to donate some money? It’s always useful.”

Zhou Li swallowed the bacon in his mouth and put down the bacon that had been in his mouth. Not used to the knife and fork. He glanced at the foggy weather outside the window, and after un’ed Elma said, “I’ll go with you.”

“Okay~”

Elma replied, she Cut the fried egg in front of you in half, put it in half and put it on Zhou Li’s plate, full of smiles said: “This is Elma’s thank you gift, please accept it!”

“Cut.”

Zhou Li extended the hand ironically and tapped Elma’s forehead lightly, Elma laughed and stuck out her tongue playfully, then she stood up and took the hot toast Come over and put it in front of Zhou Li.

“Are we going tomorrow?”

After drinking the sugar-sweetened white dew, Zhou Li put down the glass, thought for a while and replied: “Go today, I am in the name of the firm Donating 200 gold coins can also give us a little more exposure.”

“So ah~~”

Elma gently picked up the bacon with a fork, slightly puzzled He asked Zhou Li: “Our detective office doesn’t take on assignments, what do we want to do with exposure?”

“It’s very simple.”

Zhou Li took the last bite of toast, Putting her and Elma’s dishes together, she tapped the hero exclusive on her waist, indifferently said: “It’s the same.”

Elma followed Zhou Li’s movements to see his waist Elma was a bit dazed when she thought of what Zhou Li had done before, but she didn’t ask any more. She knew that Zhou Li didn’t say that there must be his reason. After all, what he hates most is the Riddler.

Looking at Elma’s deep eyes like a lake, Zhou Li was a little dazed. Only he knows why he has been constantly brushing Jordan’s reputation during this period of time.

Once the Gospels are obtained by accident, Zhou Li will take it back at the cost of the city of Jordan.

****************************

“Thank you for your donation, Fold Detective Si, you are a great gentleman.”

In an exquisite cottage, facing the tall and handsome Zhou Li, the Chief-In of “Molly Charity Fund” -Charge Molly said very gratefully: “Jordan’s aristocracy has been completely closed to the outside world, and the government can’t free up materials because of the monster case. Your 200 gold coins are really helpful, please allow me to present to you on behalf of the people of Jordan. My most sincere thanks.”

“What a citizen should do at this time.”

Zhou Li humble give a salute. The Molly Charity Fund was established by the present Molly Unii to help civilians who have suffered disaster or injustice. According to his investigation, in addition to this Foundation, several other Foundations that are also officially recognized are somewhat problematic. Either the source of the funds is abnormal or the whereabouts of the funds are not transparent. Therefore, Zhou Li chose the Molly Fund with the best public reputation.

“Rest assured, your deeds will shine in the evening paper.”

As the owner of the Jasmine Foundation, Molly Unii is very upright, but she also Very smooth. She clearly understood that in addition to really wanting to do something for the people, this new detective must have taken a fancy to the Jordan Evening News behind her. Molly certainly wouldn’t turn down Zhou Li’s donation, it was a win-win for them.

Zhou Li didn’t have too many polites, anyway, he just came over for a cutscene. Elma on the side was interested in this Foundation dedicated to helping civilians, and began to chat with Molly Unii. Molly also likes this cute girl with a beautiful appearance and good manners, and she is happy to talk about Foundation with her.

Being bored, Zhou Li began to visit the exhibition hall of the Foundation. Here are the thank you letters and donation certificates that Foundation has received over the decades. He came to the very center according to the instructions of the exhibition hall, which was a world map, which marked the rescue that the Molly Foundation had carried out in foreign countries over the years. However, when Zhou Li came to the huge world map, Zhou Li’s expression froze.

Blank.

That’s a blank blueprint.

****************************

“Jordan?”

Looking at Torreya with her white hair tucked in her hood and wearing a white-patterned long skirt like a cloud of Fairy, Spirit Sea was the first to ask, “Where is that?”

“en?”

Torea was stunned after hearing Spirit Sea’s doubts. She looked towards the expressions of the other people on the side, without exception, everyone’s expressions were confused and puzzled.

“You don’t know Jordan?”

Torea, who has been making up for a month of world knowledge, knows that the city of Jordan is definitely not an unknown person. As the capital of Yingnan, Jordan is no less well-known than the world port of Silver City. And Azi entire group is also experienced and knowledgeable, there is no reason not to know about the existence of Jordan.

But seeing the unfeigned confusion and doubts on everyone’s faces, Torreya felt strange. Almost instantly, she thought of Zhou Li, who was also forgotten.

“Which of you has a world map?”

Torreya asked the crowd. At this time, Don Quixote raised his hand and said, “Can I have a thumbnail of the world here?”

“Yes.”

Torreya nodded, Don Quixote She was familiar with the visual thumbnails mentioned by Joté, and the geographic locations of the major cities were marked on them, which was exactly what Torea wanted. Don Quixote handed the scroll to Torreya, who opened it and began to search.

No!

Torreya checked the map repeatedly, no matter how she looked for it, there was no city named Jordan in Yingnan.

“No? We never remember.”

Just as she was about to say something, Azi suddenly paused. She suddenly covered her forehead and began to close her eyes and think. . At this time, Ain also reacted and asked Torea:

“Did the city you mentioned disappear like him?”

“No Wrong.”

Glad that the people in front of them responded quickly and thoughtfully, Torreya said to everyone: “For a special reason, I keep my memory of him. Half a month ago, he took an airship Went to Jordan, then disappeared. Now, we seem to be forgetting him, forgetting him and Jordan.”

“I have a question.”

At this time, Aziz Sensing something was wrong: “Why can’t you say Jordan but not his name?”

“I don’t know.”

After saying the classic high-quality answer, Torea said calmly: “I was also reminded by you to find out.”

“Forget it, it doesn’t matter.”

Although he has always been concerned about Torea. Leia was inexplicably hostile, but the Azi entire group had a good impression of this girl who looked like a white lotus in the mountains. In the battle of Muqi, if she hadn’t stepped forward, the United Legion might have been wiped out.

“Do you remember where Jordan is?”

Aiwei on the side asked Torreya: “The approximate location is also fine, a city is impossible to disappear out of thin air, there must be traces. Follow.”

“This.”

In fact, Torreya also received the impression of the secret mastermind who erased Zhou Li’s existence to some extent, and that map was not to her. Any sense of disobedience, the whole Yingnan is exactly the same as her “impression”, without any difference.

Torreya carefully read every city on the map, trying her best to find a place called Jordan. But the influence of that power was so ingrained that she could only remember this place, but she couldn’t find the place where Jordan was supposed to exist.

Sometimes, other people’s eyes are also very important.

Suddenly, Torreya remembered the words Zhou Li once said to her, the words Zhou Li left to himself when he left the carriage. Thinking of this, Torreya squeezed the palm of her hand lightly, which was her habit of relieving tension. Afterwards, Torreya spread out the map and said to Zi who was beside him:

“Azi, do me a favor.”

“You say.”

“I will blindfold myself next, and when I point it, you will tell me the name of this place.”

Torreya’s request is very simple, and the simplicity makes everyone feel a little bit. puzzled. But Azi didn’t ask why, and answered directly. Then Torreya released a white rays of light to cover her eyes, and pointed her slender fingers on the territory of Yingnan.

“Orica”

“Yu Ailan”

“Mosuo”

“Carit”

“Alpha”

“Istlando”

“Wait a minute.”

The world map has already been replaced by Torreya It was deeply engraved in her memory. When she closed her eyes and did not read the text on the map, she felt a burst of relief in her soul. When Azi read out the place name “Istlando” along her finger, she realized something was wrong.

This place should not be called this name.

“There’s something wrong with this place.”

Opening her eyes, the map returned to that vague and unfamiliar feeling, but Torreya knew she had made the right bet.

He can blind himself and change his memory, but he cannot tamper with his feelings.

“Eastlando”

Spirit Sea frowned, looked at the place, and said hesitantly: “I remember that this place seems to be a trade in the south of England. There is no special place in Hong Kong.”

“No, it’s impossible.”

At this time, Ain, who had been watching, suddenly said: “The geographical location of this place determines the year round. Smog, and its coastline is so tortuous that it can’t build a quality port. But this place is near Yellowstone National Park, and if it’s a trading port, it’s impossible to build next to this active volcano.”

As the team with the highest level of education and the strongest analytical skills, Ain quickly found the biggest loophole in Eastland. However, without Torreya’s reminder, she would not have doubts about this location anyway.

“It should be here.”

Azi patted the table and said decisively: “I can’t hesitate, I will contact the transportation department of Chamber of Commerce immediately, and I will contact the Commerce Department. Organizing a caravan to the vicinity of this area in the name of Ivy, and leaving tomorrow.”

“There is an important negotiation tomorrow in the El Chamber of Commerce.”

Ivey spoke, then With a slight smile, he said to everyone, “But Ellie can do the job.”

“Kalis can disguise the ten most powerful warriors and follow you with me.”

Kaya raised her hand and said to Azi.

“You don’t need to declare customs with Magnum, it’s a waste of time.”

At this time, Xiao Ke wearing a red cloak pushed in the door, took off his hood and said: “I have already issued a commercial certificate for Muqi, and I can save a lot of time by going directly to Havana.”

“You are here.”

Azi nodded, has been A slightly relaxed smile appeared on his tense little face.

“I’ll go with you.”

Torreya glanced at Xiao Ke, then said indifferently: “I have three days off.”

“Guardian The Shield Legion has a total of 100 people, and they will be assembled here before eight o’clock tomorrow.”

Don Quixote, as always, without any hesitation, directly transferred the Legion with the family crest.

“Tomorrow at nine o’clock, we will leave.”

A Zi put the amulet given to her by Zhou Li on the map, and she looked at the people in the Conference Hall who were ready to go. , swept away the silence and hesitation just now, and said loudly:

“Rescue him.”
