The fog on the street was a little thick, and the sound of horse-drawn carriages moving back and forth on the bumpy ground could be heard.

Li En looked up and glanced at the factory in front of him, which was constantly emitting polluting gases. He could tell at a glance that it was definitely burning coal.

The smoke and dust released from the incomplete combustion were directly emitted into the sky, causing a thick fog to blanket London. The air burned people's lungs, making it far from a paradise on earth.

However, since Li En transmigrated here, some time has passed, so he has managed to get used to it.

Turning around, I walked into the library. People were coming and going, most of them with their heads down, pondering and planning their own affairs, paying no attention to what was happening around them.

On the cold marble floor, a blazing sun, a symbol of artistic style, was painted. Stepping on the sun, which resembled a tarot card, Li En arrived at the reception desk and placed a "Mysticism Research Report" in front of the reception staff.

"Hello, I'm here to return a book."

As he spoke, he took out a student ID and handed it to the library staff member in front of him.

At that time, there were basically no good paper documents to prove identity in London. For students like Li En, their student ID cards from the university were the best proof of identity.

The library staff member was a very beautiful woman. Li En remembered that her name was Nova Clark and that she had asked him before if he wanted to go out for a walk together after she finished get off work.

However, Li Engang had only recently traveled to this world and was unfamiliar with the area, so he refused.

He didn't want to encounter a honey trap right after transmigrating.

"Okay, Mr. Lee En Wales," Nova noted down the contents of the book, "Is there anything else you'd like to borrow today? If you have several books you'd like to borrow, I can consider holding them for you."

The London Library only allows one person to borrow one book at a time. Li En didn't understand where this rule came from, but he could only abide by it.

"Let me take another look. I don't think there are any books I need to borrow."

Li En casually replied that he only borrowed books from the library for one reason: to understand the background of the world he was in after his transmigration.

From what we can see now, the world he traveled to is almost identical to London during the Industrial Revolution, even down to the environmental pollution problem.

Apart from the church's power being even more rampant than what he learned in history class, there didn't seem to be much difference.

Li En's family was doing alright. Although they weren't particularly wealthy, they weren't like other transmigrators who immediately faced a precarious existence and hunger.

His mother died early, and his father had a baronial title inherited from his ancestors, but he had basically lost all power and connections. He was a typical impoverished nobleman, whose greatest advantage was that he could sell his voting rights in the House of Lords to those in need in exchange for a year of comfortable living.

He also has an older sister, who is a year or two older than Li En. She is still studying at university and is said to be expected to become a clergy member in the church or a civil servant without a formal position in the government after graduation.

However, women's status was quite low in this era. Public sector departments were extremely ostracized by women. The vast majority of women's jobs were either simple manual labor, and very few could become typists hired by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Finance. They couldn't even access confidential documents, and it was hard to say whether their future would be bright.

I took a stroll through the London Library. Its only advantage was the vast variety of books, covering a considerable number of genres, which was very useful for Li En, who needed to catch up on contemporary knowledge.

Before the school holidays end, he must make sure to improve his knowledge to the level of an average person, otherwise he will have to think about his future if he gets expelled from school.

"Have you heard? A woman's body was pulled out of the Wandl River yesterday."

Sitting at a long table in the library, feeling the scorching smell in the air, Li En heard the hushed conversation at the next table.

"What's the big deal about pulling out a corpse?" His companion sitting across from him scoffed, tugging at his dusty wool coat. "There are mills everywhere in the southern suburbs. I know a lot of tough guys who work there. Dead people are just too normal."

"This is not normal!" his companion added. "This is the fifth body Scotland Yard has found this week. Do you know that Scotland Yard has been stationed on the Wandal River for several days and hasn't even caught a glimpse of the murderer!"

"This time it was even worse. The body suddenly appeared in front of the police with a bang! It was terrifying!"

"Have you seen the Times? This is the first time such a big case has made the Times. The newspapers are saying it's the work of the devil!"

Hearing his companion's vivid description, the man in the wool coat shook his head helplessly. "I've heard several similar stories recently."

"There's a dead person at Whitechapel who suddenly came back to life."

"There were two people flying in the sky on Humberton Street, and another person pulled out a gun and fired."

"A man came out of the incinerator at the Beckton gas plant. I heard he was burned for half an hour, but he came out as if nothing had happened."

"None of this made it into The Times, but it's spread all over London. Could it all be the work of the devil?"

His companion thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Very likely!"

"I'm speechless."

Listening to their conversation, Li En also felt that the matter was quite strange, but he wasn't Sherlock Holmes, so he decided to leave it to Scotland Yard to handle.

Li En got up, took the newly selected books to the reception desk, found Nova, and handed her the books. "I'd like to borrow this book this time."

Nova glanced at the book cover and read aloud what was written on it: "The relationship between history, mysticism, and demonology? That's a really long title. Why are you interested in these things?"

"No, it's because my major is related to these things," Li En said with a wry smile. "If I don't memorize all of this, I'll be expelled."

Li En studied at Miskatonic University, a prestigious university in London that is generally inaccessible to the average person.

He was only able to enter this university after his baron father sold his voting rights in the House of Lords.

He studied theology, but due to his advisor, he is now specializing in occultism.

Moreover, Li En's mentor is one of the most famous professors of occultism at the University of Michigan. He has an extremely eccentric temper and only recognizes geniuses. If any of his students shows even the slightest sign of falling behind, he will kick that student out of the classroom.

If Li En really can't answer the questions in class, he might actually be "advised to drop out" by his tutor.

"OK."

Nova nodded, picked up a pen, and began to record the contents in her notebook.

Li Enzheng was waiting, his gaze wandering in front of the counter, when he suddenly noticed something abruptly entering his field of vision.

At another counter stood a library staff member he didn't recognize, a man who didn't look very old, between twenty and thirty years old.

His movements were elegant. Although he was only wearing a library uniform, you could tell from his every gesture that he was very well-mannered. There was a sense that his temperament did not match his status.

More importantly, Li En saw a string of white characters on his forehead.

Li En rubbed his eyes.

Copying labels?

He hesitated for a moment, but since he had already traveled through time, he still felt he could give it a try.
