The First Evolution

There has been no basic decoration in this loft, and it still maintains the original appearance of bricks and concrete. However, the furniture inside is all European style and brand new.

Obviously, the dean knew that there was an independent space above the office at the beginning, but he probably kept it secret and did not order the workers to process it. Instead, he waited until the construction was completed and built a secret room on his own.

On the bedside table sat a half-bottle of rum and an opened box of chewing tobacco, which smelled pungent.

After getting close to the big bed, I immediately saw that the new blue and white sheets had been tossed so much. In addition to becoming wrinkled, there were also many yellow and red stains and lumps on them. The pillows on the bed were also littered. With.

Fang Linyan was originally very calm and approached to look for clues. He never cared about dirty things. Wearing work clothes stained with engine oil and munching on barbecued pork buns from takeaways was considered gay, right?

However, Xingyi, who was wearing a mask, suddenly frowned, and then took a few steps back with disgust on his face.

Fang Linyan understood this, women always have many quirks...wait!

He looked at the stains again. Why did they look so suspicious? When paired with keywords such as bed, secret room, foreigners, soldiers, etc., Fang Linyan suddenly became excited:

"Holy crap, could it be that this dean is actually a soap wholesaler?"

Then his face suddenly showed a look of disgust and fear. Although the engine oil was a little dirty, it was incomparable to the remnants on the bed!

This place of love is still the place where Dean Jinwu hides his love.

They must have heard the "clatter" sound of the iron stairs being lowered, and the rest of the people gathered over. First, they were stun by the smell, and then knowing that the overall situation was the most important, they held back their breaths and observed.

After a few minutes, Omi said:

"The floor height of this secret room is deliberately made very low. The office seats and bed have a strong sense of wrapping, and the ornament on his desk is actually a small wooden football."

"This shows that there is something wrong with the guy's psychology. He is insecure and subconsciously longs to go back to his childhood days when he was playing football because he was carefree at that time."

At this time, the vulture suddenly said:

"Something's wrong."

He is a scout, and his perception is the highest, so as soon as the words "Vulture" said something wrong, everyone immediately became vigilant, because maybe he had discovered something hidden.

After seeing everyone's reactions, the vulture suddenly realized:

"When I say something is wrong, I mean in private space."

Then he took out the three things he carried with him: the peach wood sword, the bronze mirror, and the yellow paper charm.

You can immediately see that the bronze mirror he carried cracked at some point, and the yellow paper talisman looked like it had been burned, and the runes on it could not be seen clearly. The peach wood sword also looked old and had no trace of it at all. Looks like new purchase.

At this time, everyone remembered that it turned out that there was a profound meaning behind the mandatory requirement of the space to bring three things: a mahogany sword, a bronze mirror, and a yellow paper talisman.

So the rest of the people took out this thing and found that Max's three-piece suit had undergone obvious changes like the vulture, while the others' suits remained the same.

Omi reacted instantly and said:

"When they were grouped before, Max and Vulture acted together, right?"

The vulture nodded and said:

"That's right."

Omi said:

"Where is the area you are searching for? Take us there, to the place where you stayed the longest."

As she spoke, she took out the yellow paper talisman on her body and put it directly in her hand.

At this time, it is not difficult to deduce that there must be something going on in the area that Max and Vulture searched before!

They stayed there for too long, so the three-piece suit they were wearing was contaminated by evil spirits, and the three-piece suit was placed directly in their private space! This shows how evil the place is.

So Oumi just held the yellow paper talisman in his hand, and he should be able to find the place easily.

Sure enough, this thing automatically started burning after Omi came to a place.

Needless to say, everyone immediately began to search carefully and quickly locked on a place, because the yellow paper talisman burned directly here within two seconds, and the rest of the place could last for five or six seconds.

After locking this area, they began to try to use bronze mirrors to illuminate the surroundings. As a result, a bronze mirror could only hold up for less than ten seconds before it shattered.

In the end, their hard work paid off. Through the reflection of the bronze mirror, they finally discovered a safe embedded in the wall.

If you look at this safe directly with your eyes, you will never see it. You can only see it clearly by looking at the scenery reflected in the bronze mirror.

Needless to say, the vulture opened the safe easily and found that it was full of things. It was obvious that the dean had placed some of his sex toys and personal items inside.

Ahem, even with Fang Linyan's forward-looking vision, he is very unfamiliar with these items that are circulated privately among soap guys.

After rummaging around, Crespo next to him suddenly said:

"There's a diary here."

***

At this time, Britain was still known as the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets." Its troops and missionaries were widely distributed around the world. In fact, the death rate was very high:

Conflicts with local residents, acclimatization, malaria, frequent accidents during the journey, and even pneumonia caused by a storm... can all cost a person's life.

According to existing records, the mortality rate of British soldiers stationed to serve in the Indian colonies in 1873 was as high as 11.5%!

This is without experiencing combat, which means that 11 out of 100 people died in a foreign land!

And this is India. The place known as "the brightest pearl in the Queen of England's crown" is not the primitive and wild lands in Africa.

The establishment of the East India Company in 1600 meant that the British began to colonize India. In 1873, the British even ruled India for a hundred years.

The high non-battle mortality rate in such a place is certainly related to India's unique defecation and living habits (cleanliness and hygiene), but it also shows the dangers of the empire's foreign troops stationed where the sun never sets.

Therefore, most soldiers and most officers have almost developed the habit of keeping diaries, because they have no idea when death will come. Diaries are likely to become the last spiritual wealth left to their families. .

Of course, if you die an abnormal death such as murder, you can still leave your family or the authorities with enough clues to find the murderer.

Therefore, these soldiers or officers treat their diaries very carefully. Not only do they write carefully and in detail, but they also keep them very carefully.

In this diary, the dean named Philip first told his resume.

He was originally a major stationed in Sri Lanka/Napura, and it was obvious that Philip lived a very comfortable life there.

In his diary, he described many times that he sat on a deck chair on a scorching afternoon, had a cup of authentic black tea from Na Pula, ate a few avocados with a creamy taste, and laughed at the stupidity of the local indigenous people. The days are truly like a gift from God.

Then eight months ago, a cruel transfer order fell from the sky, like a thunderbolt that shocked him to the core.

So Major Philip could only leave reluctantly, bidding farewell to the place with charming scenery, fragrant black tea, and shy and cute boy with tears in his eyes, and came to Shanghai.

Philip recounted in his diary that after much inquiry, he never expected that the fundamental reason why he came to this "cursed place" was actually because he had served as the assistant to the alchemist Penbot! !

Dean Philip described that experience in a painful way:

"Yes, I'm sure. I'm pretty sure that I have no interest in that damn alchemy at all. It's all because of Mikey. He looks so charming, with curly blond hair, long eyelashes, and a bright and hearty smile. Just like the legendary son of the sun god."

"If it hadn't been for the sudden love that fell on me instantly like the sunshine of the Aegean Sea, otherwise, I would never have signed up for Penbot's apprenticeship. This old pervert only took a shower once a month, and he still... The foreskin is too long.”

"Oh my God, I feel sick just thinking about his yellowed teeth and the vegetable leaves embedded in the gaps between his teeth. I don't understand now how McGee could bear to stay with him for three years. It must be It was this old guy who force-fed the legendary love potion."

"Ah! I really don't want to recall that nightmare-like experience. Although I served as an apprentice to Penbot for ten days, I didn't come into contact with anything about alchemy. I had to work hard to cope with that. Damn old man’s harassment!”

"Hey, although I got McGee in the end, he also betrayed me and let the old thing get his wish. This life of swinging between heaven and hell is too uncomfortable."

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion, and then couldn't help but look at the bed sheet with a strange mixture of yellow and red next to it, and immediately couldn't help but move further away.

Finally, the diary began to give a key piece of information:

"Okay, okay, the three thousand pounds I gave away finally played its role! It turns out that what I did in Shanghai actually attracted the attention of the top management, so if I make certain achievements here, , then today next year, those bastards should call me: Mr. Colonel."

"I really didn't expect that such a strange product: the element of origin actually exists. I thought it was a figment of the alchemists. Okay, okay, I admit that this kind of thing is quite outrageous. This kind of shocking The alchemy product that the great queen is so excited about actually appears here in Asia, but this may be God’s arrangement.”

"I will work hard, yes, although the food here is as bad as pig food, although the entertainment here is as boring as the countryside of Nottingham, and although life is in danger here at any time, I will grit my teeth and persevere. , I will appear in front of McGee next year wearing a colonel uniform and ask him if he would like to go to Wimbledon with me for the rest of his life."

***

After reading this diary, Fang Linyan and the others found that the exploration level suddenly increased to 33%.

The goat whistled excitedly:

"Well, we are now making great strides on the road to success. In addition to knowing that Dean Philip is a gay, we also know the meaning of the existence of this place, which is that important materials for alchemy will appear: The element of origin.”

"This thing looks very precious, so Britain has spent a lot of money to maintain the operation of this place."

Max muttered:

"Now it seems that all the abnormal conditions here should be caused by the so-called source of elements. We have finally grasped the core thing."

Omi suddenly said:

"There's another thing you probably haven't noticed, that is, if what is said in the diary is true, then there must be one or even multiple European alchemists waiting for us in the basement of this building!"

"When they see us intruders, they can't just smile and bring us a cup of coffee, right?"

When Oumi said this, Fang Linyan suddenly felt as if that was really the case?

At this time, Xingyi picked up the diary and said slowly:

"Actually, there is another clue here."

The goat immediately said:

"where?"

Xingyi said:

"Look here, the diary entry from April 19th."

"The supplies are almost used, but Lyman went to the Navy Club to have fun again. He won't come back until at least tomorrow - of course he is drunk and needs help."

"So, I can actually communicate with this idiot on the 21st, even if everything goes well, the supplies will arrive on the 23rd. Holy Mary!! This means that work will be stopped for two full days, and I will be Polus just tore it into pieces, so he must keep his word and dig out my eyeballs to make an alchemy potion, and then let me drink it!"

"No, I have to think of other ways now. I heard that there is a guy named Wang Asheng here in Shencheng who is very capable. Although the price is very dark, I can only go to him and hope that he can get it. Got the goods I wanted.”

"Finally, I swear, I never want to wipe the butt of that bastard Lyman again. After this incident, I must try my best to transfer him away from here. Otherwise, my career will be ruined by this stupid pig." In my hands!"

The diary that Xingyi found had illegible handwriting and was crowded in the cracks, so it was discovered at the back. Xingyi explained:

"Obviously, there are three key figures here, Lyman who is in charge of supplies, Polus, a violent and vicious alchemist, and finally Wang Asheng, a guy who hangs out in Shen City."

"We only need to find Lyman or Wang Asheng to know what supplies are needed here."
