"Look at the blackboard! The chalk is flying!"

    Without Yang Yuanyuan''s reminding, several sharp eyed students have found abnormalities.

    Among them was Lu Li, who stared straight at the blackboard -- chalk dust fell and small words appeared:

    Time: 1888 ad

    Location: foggy London

    Background: in 1829, Scotland Yard established a police system throughout the city. Then, with the rise of the second industrial revolution, Britain became more and more prosperous in the Victorian era, and London was known as the best city in the world.

    But darkness and light are on the same scene!

    Under the false prosperity, the bottom citizens have received too many unfair treatment. Disease, poverty and alcoholism are mutually causal and exacerbate the class division, especially in the eastern district.

    It is full of poor workers, poor tramps, new arrivals, and of course countless local ruffians and vicious criminals.

    At the same time, the eastern district is also a gathering place for migratory warblers. After losing their jobs, they have to live here and make a living, up to 60000 at the highest.

    Dang!

    The chalk seemed to have lost its strength and fell from the air, but the people were still staring at the blackboard.

    Because the scenes in front of them are tearing apart the world outlook they have spent 20 years to establish.

    "Lu Li, this... This..."

    Duke shuddered, his teeth trembled and stammered for a long time. He couldn''t even say a complete word.

    "Don''t talk, the chalk is floating again."

    When the words fell, Lu Li exhaled and tried his best to maintain calm. The tight eyebrows and lips betrayed his inner panic.

    The blackboard rinsed loudly, and occasionally there was a toothache rubbing sound——

    The difficulty coefficient of this examination is very low, and the time limit is five days. The requirements are as follows:

    1. Justice will prevail

    (join the orderly camp to help the London military and police maintain law and order, punish evil and promote good)

    2. Justice Nemesis

    (join the chaos camp. What evil does not suppress good? Nonsense! How can you be absent in the sin city? Please make a big noise.)

    be careful!

    Those who die midway shall erase their memory and be dismissed; Those with poor performance will be sent to the inferior class; Those with qualified performance shall be sent to the ordinary class; Those with excellent performance will be promoted to the top class.

    Please make a choice within 30 seconds and recite three times in your heart. If the time limit is exceeded, the school will randomly assign the camp.

    The chalk fell, and there was no sign of suspension. However, in the classroom, it was extremely quiet.

    Oppression, tension, fear and anxiety

    After all, for the first time, no one can resume thinking in a short time.

    "The class examination, officially started!"

    Suddenly, a low, hoarse voice came into Lu Li''s ear, and then he felt the distortion and change of the surrounding scene.

    In the hazy, a double storey apartment gradually solidifies, and the sight of gardens, streets, Buckingham Palace, railways, chimneys... Continues to extend outward. Finally, a city is completely presented in front of us.

    "Detectives from the Far East... Have the title of Lord... Have no relatives... Single until now."

    Somehow, in Lu Li''s mind, there was a strange memory churning, and it was tangled with his own memory.

    Pain!

    It hurts!

    When he tried to get up, he suddenly felt dark in front of his eyes and fainted directly.

    August 7, 1888.

    Baker Street, morning fog.

    Click——

    When the door opened, a young man with black hair and black pupils came to the corridor, found a step and sat down, staring at the pedestrians in the street in a daze.

    The well-dressed men strode forward with hard soled shoes and walking sticks. They had an unspeakable pride, as if the whole world was spinning around them.

    Ladies wearing black veils look luxurious and exquisite. The red leg sleeves extend downward along the arms and suddenly narrow to the forearms. The contrast sets off the small and lovely wrists, and the skirt is dragged to the feet, just like a princess from a fairy tale.

    The scenes before us are illusory and real.

    Previously, Lu Li really couldn''t understand how anyone in the world was so bored that he organized a grand scam at the expense of money to trick a group of students who had not yet entered the society.

    It was not until a woman stepped on horse dung, threw up in spite of modesty, and shouted curses at the coachman passing by that he realized the reality.

    This is not a prank. As the blackboard says, he came to the fog capital at the end of the 19th century.

    “Bymytroth,IwasseekingforafoolwhenIfoundyou.”

    (I swear, I was looking for a fool, but I met you)

    In fact, it is by no means easy to understand Londoners from a very fast speed. He can''t do it with Lu Li''s bulk English, but he really understands it.

    How can we describe all this except miracles?

    By analogy, will what you say be translated into English by the school first, and then spread to strangers to prevent your identity from being exposed.

    While Lu Li was thinking, a rapid bell came from the front. He subconsciously raised his head and saw William Parsons, a postman delivering letters for the residents of Baker Street.

    In my memory, this guy often wears a top hat and a red coat and rings the bell door to door. If a letter needs to be handed to him or sent, he will stop in front of the door until the head of the household can''t stand the noise and opens the door to respond.

    Hiss!

    If not for the tingling of his head, which made his thinking very clear, Lu Li would certainly think he was dreaming. Otherwise, how could he know a stranger and understand this guy''s every move.

    However, for William, he had confirmed that the head of household saw himself, so he enthusiastically raised the stationery in his hand: "good day, Mr. Lu Li, there is your letter from Scotland Yard!"

    "Good day, my friend."

    Hearing the speech, Lu Li got up and went to the fence door, and opened his mouth to test.

    As a result, it was not unexpected.

    The smile on William''s face continued and became more and more enthusiastic. After all, it was a great honor to make friends with a Lord.

    "I''m so glad to see you, sir... What can I do for you, such as reading the contents of the letter to you..."

    At the moment, the postman was incoherent and showed his goodwill without any disguise.

    Frankly speaking, the feeling of being sought after is not very good. Lu Li subconsciously stepped back a few steps.

    This action is tantamount to pouring down a basin of cold water, which calmed William a lot. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "sorry, Mr. Lu Li, please forgive my irrationality."

    Darkness and light are in the same field, and there is a gap between heaven and hell between people. At this time, Lu Li shuddered when he thought of the words on the blackboard.

    "My friend, I didn''t mean that. If you like, you can come in and have a cup of coffee before you go."

    "Really?"

    "Of course."

    More than ten minutes later, the fence door closed, and the noisy bell came from the next door.
