Early morning is supposed to be the most dynamic time period, but in this age of steam where industry is booming, the sky is filled with all kinds of smoke, dust and haze, and even the sunlight that falls on the earth is somewhat gloomy.
.
The church bell rang in the distance, seven times in a row. A somewhat lazy Klein slowly stood up, went to the cupboard, and took out his clothes.
A black vest, a formal suit of the same color, slightly tight pants at the ankles, a half-top hat, and a faint bookish atmosphere. This kind of dress that he remembered from the Industrial Revolution in Europe in the 18th century made him feel a little distracted for a while.
"It seems that I have really traveled through time. Everything before was not a dream!"
Sighing softly, Klein was still in a daze about his time travel.
His real name is not Klein, but he comes from another world called Earth, where his name is Zhou Mingrui, a very ordinary Chinese.
Just because he had a playful mentality, he tried to perform a transshipment ceremony according to the records in an ancient book. Who would have thought that after the ceremony, when he woke up the next day, he would have traveled through time.
Moreover, he was so immortal that he time-traveled into the body of a young man who had committed suicide. Klein will never forget the surprise and fear he felt when he opened his eyes and saw his own appearance in the mirror.
Black hair, brown eyes, linen shirt, thin body, ordinary facial features, dark outline...
If only his appearance had changed, that would be it. The most horrifying thing was that there was a hideous wound on his temple, with burn marks on the edge and blood around it, and there was gray-white brain matter inside.
Creeping.
In his hand, he also held a very exquisite revolver, and the pistol was still a little warm. It was obvious that the body he had traveled through had just completed a suicide.
If he had simply committed suicide, he had just arrived and saw the notes left by the previous owner of this body on the desk in front of him.
"Everyone is going to die, including me!"
Being transported into the body of a suicidal person is already unlucky enough in itself, but what is even more unlucky is that the body that his soul has passed through does not seem to be just a suicide. There may be a bigger and more terrifying secret hidden in it.
.
Mysterious, weird, scary, all kinds of bad feelings come one after another!
Fortunately, perhaps due to the benefits of time travel, the wound on his temple healed quickly and remained intact, without any trace of a gunshot wound. Otherwise, he really didn't know how he could bear a body covered in blood and even see.
Go to the body with squirming brains and continue living.
It took him a whole night to sort out the remaining memories in this body, and then he finally accepted his new identity.
Just make peace with what you have come. As a time-traveler, you still have this kind of tolerance.
After looking at himself in the mirror, Klein let out a breath, then opened the somewhat shabby door and walked outside.
Today, he wants to buy some sacrifices and prepare materials for the transfer ceremony.
Although there is no evidence, Klein is generally certain that the reason why he traveled through time is definitely related to the transfer ceremony he performed before traveling through time.
After preparing the sacrifices, he planned to try the transfer ritual to see if it could bring him back to his original world.
The body that Klein's soul is wearing has really average family conditions. He is considered the most ordinary citizen of the kingdom. In addition to him, there is an older brother and younger sister in the family. After their parents died in an accident, he and his younger sister are almost the same as his older brothers.
Sen worked hard overtime and barely managed to make ends meet.
Because of this, Klein didn't have much money on him. After searching all over his body, he only found seven or eight dark green and whitish banknotes.
This was the living expenses that his brother Benson left for him and his sister for the next three days. There were only two five-sulu notes, and the rest were one-sulu notes.
In the currency system of the Kingdom of Loen, Suler is located on the second level. It can be understood as the ancient silver coin. After paper money replaced the silver coin, it was called Suler.
One sole is equal to twelve pennies, and pennies are equivalent to ancient copper coins. After the paper currency was issued, it was renamed pennies and had two denominations of one and five.
In the currency system of the Kingdom of Loen, the first layer is naturally equivalent to the ancient gold coins. After the issuance of banknotes was changed, it is now called the gold list.
Blake had an impression of what the gold list looked like, but his predecessor had never used it. After all, only people with a large denomination could afford to use such large-denomination currency.
"My family only has so much money, and we still need to keep some for living expenses. It seems that for the transfer ceremony, we can only buy some cheap brown bread."
After sighing and walking out of the house, Klein walked towards a grocery store across the street.
What is the name of that grocery store? Klein's memory is a little vague. It was a newly opened store a few days ago. The former owner of his body only glanced at it occasionally and didn't take it seriously. As for the store,
I don’t have any memory of what was sold in Zhongdu.
"Come, come, delicious pan-fried meat and fish!"
“Hot and fresh oyster soup, drink a bowl in the morning and you will be energetic all day long!”
"Fresh fish from the port only costs 5p each!"
“Small waffles, eel soup and ginger beer!”
The streets in the early morning were very lively, and there were hawking sounds from various stalls. Klein paused for a moment on the street, looking at this era full of the atmosphere of the first industrial revolution, and looked at the floating things in the sky.
All kinds of smoke and dust made me take a deep breath.
"This damn smog is so unpleasant!"
Klein didn't walk very fast. As he walked, he looked at this world full of exotic Scottish customs.
During this period, he was even given a free fortune-telling by someone who claimed to be a fortune teller. Seeing the other person skillfully switching tarot cards, Klein couldn't help but be speechless.
Have you really traveled to a different world?
"Fool!"
This was the answer given to him by the so-called fortune teller. He originally asked the other party to calculate his identity, and wanted to know if the other party had the ability to calculate his identity as a time traveler.
After a while of divination, what was given was the so-called word Fool. As for the meaning of this, it is still unclear.
After leaving the divination stall, Klein didn't waste any more time. Soon, he came to the newly opened grocery store in his memory.
The name of the grocery store is a common character in the Kingdom of Loen.
"Lin's Grocery Store!"
This was the name of the store. When he saw the name, Klein was stunned.
Most of the surnames in the Loen Kingdom are very long, and surnames with only one word like this are extremely rare.
