The First Evolution

Max shrugged and said:

"Boss, in fact, after I saw how you were attacked, I directly used this thing, because this ghost place has been explored to this point. It would be a pity to give up, and everyone agrees."

"Although this Eisenhardt Helmet is a one-time item, its effectiveness is only 60% of the original, but the advantage is that it can cover multiple people in the area, and the duration is one hour."

Fang Linyan sighed. In fact, he always had a hidden worry in his heart, that is, fundamentally, the method of obtaining the clue to the lunatic asylum was quite special.

The milestones in this world must be very difficult, and they are still red.

This also shows that this is a high-value milestone, and it is quite dangerous.

However, the exploration level of this place has almost reached 80%, and when Fang Linyan and the others explored this place, they only felt mysterious, bizarre, and dangerous at all.

It is possible that part of the danger was borne by the man in the trench coat and others before, but that is by no means all.

It is possible that the biggest risk is still hidden in the second underground floor.

It's just that his teammates seem to be very willing to explore now, and Fang Linyan can't veto their enthusiasm with "I don't feel right." This excuse is usually used by Green Tea to deal with dog licking...

It's simply impossible to convince teammates, so we can only take it one step at a time.

The figures of the group of people quickly disappeared into the passage on the second underground floor.

***

three hours ago,

Among the concessions in Shencheng,

Martha was already lying on her bed, but her whole body was stiff, and her face was covered with a white sheet.

Thirty years later, her injuries could actually be treated, because the cause of her death was excessive blood loss. Thirty years later, sterile blood transfusion technology has become popular, and only the plasma she needs can save her from danger.

Unfortunately, the current medical conditions cannot save her life, and they cannot even allow her to open her eyes and say a word to her father: Brigadier General Jeffrey!

Brigadier General Jeffrey holds real power and is the third most powerful person in the British Concession. With a single order, he can mobilize more than 1,300 red shirts armed to the teeth. At this time, the entire British Concession in Shencheng The garrison did not exceed 2,000 people, which shows how powerful it was at this time.

At this time, Brigadier General Jeffrey held his daughter's cold hand tightly and placed it on his forehead. There was not a single tear in his gray eyes, only endless coldness and anger, half-kneeling like a statue. In front of the bed, he didn't say a word for a full hour.

Of course, seeing his current state, no one dared to step forward and try to persuade him! Because Brigadier General Jeffrey is usually labeled as "harsh" + "indifferent" + "ferocious".

"The best negotiation tools are gunpowder and lead bullets." is a mantra he often talks about.

Once when he was being contradicted by his subordinates during a conversation and became angry, Brigadier General Jeffrey was also a temperamental person. Without saying a word, he drew his gun, pointed it at his thigh and shot him.

So the conversation ended with the cry of the unfortunate guy.

More importantly, Brigadier General Jeffrey’s backstage is pretty tough! In the end, the matter was settled, which further fueled Brigadier General Jeffrey's arrogance.

After staying with his daughter for a full two hours, Brigadier General Jeffrey finally stood up, then moved his hands and feet and walked to his office. He sat down and held his chin in thought for a while, then rang the bell and called the adjutant and said:

"what happened?"

The adjutant knew that this was the time when trouble was most likely to happen, and he had already inquired about the matter clearly, and quickly replied:

"My lady went to the countryside to relax, and was robbed by a group of gangsters. As a result, the gang of stupid thieves were beaten and fled, and they captured a bandit leader. However, the bandit leader jumped over the wall to take hostages, and accidentally injured the lady."

Then the adjutant added the following words very wittily, so that he could get out of this dangerous and embarrassing situation as soon as possible:

"Because I was not present, the specific situation is not very clear. Fortunately, I have controlled the few fools accompanying me. They have personally experienced what happened at the scene. General, do you need to hear their confessions? "

This great movement of the world was very subtle. Brigadier General Jeffrey stared at the adjutant for a while with cold eyes, and then said:

"Bring them in."

After the adjutant brought the people in, he immediately turned around and left, closed the door, and stayed more than ten meters away.

From this distance, you cannot hear the specific content of the conversation in the office, but you can still hear clearly if there is any big movement. It can be said that you can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and you are almost invincible.

As a result, only three minutes later, a gunshot was heard from inside the office, which made the adjutant's heart twitch.

The sound of gunfire alerted the guards, who came one after another, but soon Brigadier General Jeffrey came out, waved to them, and made a "clean up" gesture to the adjutant.

The adjutant walked in and saw the unlucky guard lying on the ground with his back, his eyes straight, and a blood hole between his eyebrows gurgling outward with a mixture of blood and thick white liquid. It looked shocking.

At this time, Brigadier General Jeffrey strode into an office and directly found his subordinate Lieutenant Colonel Benson:

"Benson! Blow the trumpet and assemble. I will see them assembled and armed to the teeth within ten minutes."

After Benson heard what Brigadier General Jeffrey said, he stayed for two seconds and said:

"Your Excellency, in fact, they have already assembled and are ready to kill those heretics at any time."

Brigadier General Jeffrey was also stunned after hearing this, and then said coldly:

"What the hell are you heretics! I need these young men to set out immediately, and then go to the countryside of Shencheng to capture a bastard named Lao Si. Lu, and let him have a taste of round torture, pincer torture, and iron mask torture. Taste it, and finally let him taste the taste of red-hot lead water!"

After hearing this, Benson immediately shook his head and said:

"Sorry, Brigadier General, it seems that you must not know that the Bishop of Essex visited Governor Nasibi half an hour ago?"

Brigadier General Jeffrey has a strong self-control, and he usually respects Benson because this lieutenant colonel has outstanding military exploits and is very prestigious among the Scottish regiments he leads. He is a general with real power. .

Therefore, in the normal timeline, Brigadier General Jeffrey restrained his irritability and asked:

"Yes, what is going on with your Excellency, Bishop?"

However, as the Abyss Lord tried to free Yang Xiaokang from his own fate, Gaia's consciousness in this plane also became aware of it, and there was a slight change in the timeline here.

For some reason, Brigadier General Jeffrey felt extremely irritable at this time, and the death of his daughter brought him full of negative energy.

So at this time, he said something that should not exist in this timeline, and gritted his teeth and said:

“I need the army now!

Benson, take your people and follow me immediately! "

Benson suddenly frowned. Although Brigadier General Jeffrey did have his command authority, he was not his direct superior. His attitude towards Brigadier General Jeffrey became stiff and he called him by his first name very rudely. Business matters:

"Sorry, Jeffrey, you want to mobilize my men, please bring out the St. George's Order issued by the East India Company!"

At this time, transportation information was inconvenient, so if the army needed to be mobilized in a hurry, according to the lobster military training code at that time, the person who issued the order needed to present a token. This thing was called the St. George Order. It was similar to the ancient tiger charm. It was actually a message. Or order.

However, the things in the drill are also dispensable for a colonel like Benson. If he feels that the other party is both talented and well-spoken, then it doesn't matter if he recruits his subordinates to help.

But if you speak so rudely, Colonel Benson immediately transforms into a defender of order and a firm defender of military discipline, and will never do anything against the rules.

After hearing Colonel Benson's answer, Jeffrey felt a surge of anger rushing towards Tianling Gai. He immediately stared at Benson and roared:

"To hell with the damn Order of St. George! I don't know, and I don't want to know what those black-robed bastards who are interested in little boy assholes are doing when they visit Lord Nasibi, but I do know that if you don't do what I want, Go back to your hometown in Rutland tomorrow!

"Don't think I don't know what you're doing secretly, Sterling! Do you need me to say more?"

After hearing this, Benson's eyes immediately became sharp. The number of pounds was indeed a handle for him, because it was a public fund that Benson embezzled two months ago.

However, now Benson is not too afraid that this secret will be leaked, because the pound in the pound has changed its owner, and its new owner is none other than the Lord Nasibi mentioned before.

He is a powerful figure in the East India Company and a recipient of the Queen's First Class Medal!

Moreover, the energy behind the graceful Bishop of Essex is also great, because in addition to his power in the Holy See, he is also a member of the Alchemist Association!

Suddenly, Benson realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. In fact, he also wanted to be called the Brigadier General!

So Benson immediately looked around and found that at least five people around him heard the conversation between the two, so he didn't bother with Jeffrey at all and immediately nodded at two people:

"Dan Graca, Andrew, come with me."

Then he left Jeffrey behind and walked away. It only took three minutes for Benson to arrive outside His Excellency Nasibi's office. He happened to see the Bishop of Essex walking out of the office, and Nasibi stood outside to see him off.

Upon seeing Benson, the Bishop of Essex immediately said:

"The Lord is watching you, my child. I think you will tell me now that the army has set off for Nanault? The output of that mining area is very important to us. Once the production is reduced, it will even affect the Duke of Argyll's view of us. perception.”

Benson sighed, half-knelt in front of the Bishop of Essex with a wry smile:

"I'm sorry, Lord Bishop, I came here just to talk about this, but my order to send troops was intercepted... and I heard blasphemous and disrespectful words."

The Bishop of Essex's face suddenly turned gloomy---or to be precise, his face had always been gloomy, but he just took off the amiable mask:

"Do you know what you are talking about? Blasphemy is a serious crime! Even after the body is purified with fire, the soul will still cry in hell for ten thousand years! The slanderer and the sinner will be punished equally!"

Benson said seriously:

"This is something I witnessed with my own eyes, Lord Bishop, and that guy still brazenly blasphemed in front of many people. I was not the only one who heard it with my own ears!"

Then Benson called the soldiers who were following him:

"Andrew, tell me what you heard before."

Andrew seemed to be a devout believer. He immediately knelt down in front of the bishop and said with fear and trembling:

"Father!! I dare not say it. Those blasphemous words cannot come out of my tongue at all. That is a great sin!

"

Benson immediately turned to look at Graca:

"you say."

Graca was a bearded, rough man who had no faith and was used to seeing life and death, so he simply spoke out loud what he heard.

After hearing this, the Bishop of Essex gritted his teeth, the muscles on his face twitched, and he even roared without regard for etiquette:

"This is slander! This is blasphemy!

"

In the heart of the Bishop of Essex, he also felt that there were so many things going on at this juncture. The attack on the Scarlet Veil mine was already an urgent matter, but now something as bad as blasphemy has occurred.

As a bishop, if he did not deal with such a matter immediately, once word spread, it would immediately be considered as not being pious enough to the Lord. The problem is that in terms of practical interests, it is obvious that the problem of Scarlet Veil should be solved first...

Fortunately, Benson’s words immediately resolved the Bishop of Essex’s dilemma:

"Your Excellency Essex, in fact, those blasphemous words were spoken by the person who intercepted the order to send troops!"

The Bishop of Essex suddenly stared:

"Who is that sinner?"

Benson said:

"Brigadier General Jeffrey. "

After hearing this name, His Excellency Nasibi, who had been paying attention to this area, also frowned. Others, Brigadier General Jeffrey also has a very strong relationship behind him. He is related to a powerful person like the Duke of Windsor, so I can only say:

"Is there any misunderstanding here?"

Benson also guessed that Nasibi would pay attention to this matter, so he leaned forward and whispered:

"Jeffrey is looking into the scrapped muzzleloader thing."

Nasibi's face suddenly darkened, and he suddenly felt like he was being held tightly by someone. Any man knows that feeling is very uncomfortable, but out of the caution of the superior, he still asked:

"How did you know?"
