Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

In the Kingdom of Bryston, only the strict ascetic church prohibits loss of virginity before marriage, so it is quite common for couples to do the things they love in the woods.

The murder took place not far from the grove. There was a stone bench next to it, which was usually the favorite place for young couples.

The body was also discovered by two young lovers who were doing morning exercises. At this time, the police had arrived. Several police officers were investigating the scene, some were driving away students who had crossed the line, and the remaining few were drawing a white line.

Hey, this is...

Zhou Ning narrowed his eyes and spotted a familiar figure next to the policeman. He had just seen one of the guards following Qi En last night, but he hadn't followed them since they boarded the carriage.

He was a plain-looking black-haired young man wearing a deerstalker hat. The reason he was so impressed was because he looked exactly like Li Tie, both in hairstyle and appearance.

Really, very similar!

At this time, the black-haired young man was squatting there, observing something with a frown on his face. Zhou Ning had no intention of greeting him and rubbed his nose vigorously.

Even from a distance, one could smell an extremely strong smell of blood.

Freud was right. Desire can cloud one's mind. How dare you go in for morning exercise?! Wouldn't it be nice to practice in the dorm?

Because it had snowed the previous night, Zhou Ning could clearly see from a distance a pool of congealed black blood on the snow, half-buried by a pile of colorful objects. There was no time to clean up the scene yet, and the horrific scene was unbearable to watch.

Among the crowd of onlookers, Zhou Ning also saw his mentor, senior professor Weasley and several faculty members who stayed on campus standing in the crowd, their faces full of gloom.

Compared with this group of instructors, the students were much more active. There was hardly any crying at the scene. Instead, there was a heated discussion. It was obvious that the deceased was not very popular.

After listening to their discussion for a while, Zhou Ning got some important information.

First, the deceased was Sharon, a sophomore in the Alchemy Department at Wake University, and Zhou Ning's junior. She was sarcastic, vain, and unpopular, not even her roommates liked her. However, she was a very hard-working student.

Second, the death was indeed caused by disembowelment. This could be confirmed by the two young lovers vomiting profusely nearby. The colorful pile of objects on the snow also gave some clues.

At this time, the crowd retreated, and two policemen came out carrying the body covered with white cloth and got on the carriage.

Zhou Ning stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Killing people and eviscerating them... This is a bit like the work of those crazy people in the Life Alchemy Society.

Although the name sounds like a reputable and upright sect, the Life Alchemy Society actually follows a completely evil path. They believe that life can be created, and that as long as the formula is correct, humans can derive everything like the Creator.

This is completely contrary to the basic principle of ordinary alchemy: the principle of alchemy is equal exchange.

In the game "Apocalypse", there were several tragedies that were caused by them.

The black-haired day watchman also came out with several policemen. When he saw Zhou Ning, his eyes lit up slightly. He took out his ID and flashed it in front of Zhou Ning, then greeted him: "Good morning, Mr. Wayne, my name is Sherlock Moriarty. Lord Chien just asked me to come and see you. If you don't mind, can we go over there and talk?"

Sherlock Moriarty? Oh my goodness, Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty have merged...

As Sherlock came over to talk to Zhou Ning, Zhou Ning immediately felt many eyes shifted to him, probably treating him as a suspect. He sighed helplessly in his heart and nodded: "I'm happy to, in fact, we met yesterday."

Sherlock smiled and nodded. "You have a good memory. I was standing fourth to Lord Chien's left at the time."

It’s not that you have a good memory, it’s that you really look like Li Tie… Zhou Ning muttered silently in his heart.

Walking to the side with Sherlock, Sherlock stopped and looked at Zhou Ning: "Mr. Wayne, do you seem to have any thoughts on this case?"

"No, it's not me." Zhou Ning was confused.

"I know it's not you, but my eyes tell me that you must have some ideas. Don't worry, I won't let it out." Sherlock stared into Zhou Ning's eyes and said seriously.

"Really not. If I must say there is..." Zhou Ning looked at Sherlock who was looking expectant, thought for a moment, and said uncertainly, "Maybe you can change your hairstyle? This hairstyle doesn't suit you very well."

The two stared at each other for a while, and Sherlock finally shrugged his shoulders, choosing to give up. He smiled and said, "Very good information. Well, now let's talk about business. Lord Qi'en asked me to bring you something as a thank you, and by the way, to discuss a business deal with you."

Sherlock pulled out a golden card with an intricate pattern from his bosom and handed it to Zhou Ning: "This is the Wester family's VIP card. Holders of this card can enjoy VIP treatment at the Brighton Alchemy Association and a 8% discount at all Wester family stores."

Zhou Ning did not refuse, and reached out to take the card: "I accept it, thank Mr. Qi En for me. So what business do you want to talk about?"

What a coincidence! The reward is exactly the same as the mission reward.

Zhou Ning even suspected that it was planned by the game panel.

Sherlock smiled and moved closer to Zhou Ning: "Mr. Wayne, or rather, the organization that Mr. Wayne belongs to seems to have some good quality firearms?"

As Sherlock spoke, he kept observing Zhou Ning's expression. Due to his profession, he had a good ability to observe. If Zhou Ning had the slightest hesitation, he could immediately tell whether he was lying.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ning nodded honestly, stretched out his hand, and a revolver appeared in his hand: "Yes, but the quantity is very small. Name your price."

Sherlock was surprised by Zhou Ning's move. He didn't expect Zhou Ning to be so straightforward.

"I do still have some firearms in my hand, but they are really not many. Since you want them, you can buy them with money."

Sherlock hesitated for a while. The current price of a pistol in the Kingdom of Braxton is about 10 Victa, but the revolver in Zhou Ning's hand is more than % higher in terms of firepower and performance. Although the main theme of this world is still extraordinary, firearms can still occupy a real place.

"A pistol costs 15 Victors, and a rifle costs 18 Victors."

Sherlock gave a price. He was prepared to bleed appropriately. As long as the price was not too high, he was ready to take it.

"make a deal."

"Firearms are just firearms after all. The Japanese defenders have limited funds and can't offer too high a price... Wait, do you agree?"

Sherlock was stunned.

Zhou Ning took out another gun from his pocket and handed both guns to Sherlock, smiling slightly. "After all, I am also from the Kingdom of Bryston. I only have one rifle for now, so I have to keep it for myself. I have three revolvers, so I can sell you two first."

Sherlock nodded. Regardless of whether the other party was sincere or not, this move undoubtedly made him feel good.

Zhou Ning's expression remained impassive, but he was actually quite satisfied. For him, paying for two pistols wasn't much of a price; it was nothing more than a single Crossing Coin in a lottery. He'd drawn three weapons in the previous three draws, so the odds of winning should be quite high. A single Crossing Coin could be directly topped up for just 1 Victa. This meant he hadn't done anything, just flipped the revolvers, and had netted 1 Victa per revolver. That was already equivalent to his current monthly salary.

In the early stages of the game, as the extraordinary gradually recovers, the shortage of firepower becomes more and more serious. In a few months, Braxton will actually be able to produce similar firearms. You might as well take this opportunity to do a few more businesses and replenish your empty wallet.
