It was the end of November 1888, 11 years ago now. At that time, Mailin was still a young man who had just grown up. He was rebellious and refused his family's proposal to become a volunteer. Instead, he joined the Black Crow, which was very powerful at the time.
help.
Because of his strong stature, he was quickly trained by a small boss, and he became somewhat famous in their streets.
But the good times did not last long, because Jack the Ripper appeared. This murderous maniac caused quite a wave in London, and at that time, the lower class residents were very afraid of him.
In order to maintain the stability of the streets, the upper echelons of the Black Crow Gang reached an agreement with Scotland Yard. In the neighborhood under the jurisdiction of the small leader that Merlin followed at that time, the secret design of the big shot of the Black Crow Gang attracted Jack the Ripper and planned to kill him.
When their senior leaders fought against the Ripper, they used abilities that were completely beyond human common sense in front of Merlin, as if two supermen were fighting.
During that battle, the main force of the Black Crow Gang in Mailin's neighborhood was also present. As a result, 90% of them died in the aftermath of the fight. At that time, Mailin fled the scene of the battle out of fear. Later, he heard that the Black Crow Gang had gone there.
Except for Mai Lin, who escaped, no one survived.
However, after that, the upper echelons of the Black Crow Gang didn't pay much attention to him as a little guy who had escaped, and they didn't cause any trouble for him. However, he could only be a small leader in the Black Crow Gang for the rest of his life.
After listening to Mailin's story, Karl asked.
"Then you also saw what they looked like when they were fighting?"
"Yes, it was because their fighting killed many people that I ran away." From Mailin's fearful eyes, it could be seen that he was still frightened by what happened that day.
"I also want to try to have that kind of power in the future. Unfortunately, as a low-level person, I have no chance to come into contact with these things. At best, I can occasionally listen to some bragging from other neighborhoods while chatting with members of the Black Crow Gang in other neighborhoods.
It’s mostly a rumor.”
"So what's noteworthy about them fighting?" Karl then asked.
"It's worth noting..." Mailin thought about it carefully before replying.
"The senior members of our Black Crow gang have strange invisibility abilities, and every time they disappear, they will appear right above the Ripper. They move strangely when fighting, always hunched over, and are good at using various projectiles. We are ambushing
Jack the Ripper holds two knives. He moves very fast and his skills in using the knives are even more powerful. Except for the person sent by the top management, no one who stopped him is his enemy. The most terrifying thing is that
The knife in his hand can also project a phantom, and if he is hit, even if it is just a scratch, he will lose his life immediately."
Isn't this the phantom knife I have mastered?
Karl immediately realized that Jack the Ripper used the same combat technique as him, but he did not have the ability to kill anyone who touched him. He didn't know if there was something wrong with the Phantom Knife's advanced ability or the knife itself in the guy's hand.
"Then it means that this kind of guy's supernatural ability is very single and has no changes, right?" Karl asked.
"At least that's true for the two guys I've seen with my own eyes. In addition to their combat skills that are far beyond ordinary people, one can move invisibly and the other can project deadly knives. They don't have any special abilities. However,
Even so, it is definitely not something ordinary people can deal with."
"The last thing I encountered could turn the entire house into her own 'territory'?"
Karl was not sure whether his statement was correct, so he used "territory" to refer to the theater controlled by Marianne.
"Aside from the fact that the whole building became impossible to escape, there was nothing special about her until I finally got rid of her."
"So that means these things only have one superpower?" Mailin was a little excited. If that was the case, then the possibility of their escape would be greatly increased.
"The sample is too small to be representative, and the weird things here have shown more than one ability."
Carl paused and continued to analyze.
"First of all, the cold that only I could feel when I entered here may be a problem. Then the windows that swallowed the human body, and the corridor that started to change without any movement, all show that this guy has more than one ability."
"So what should we do?" Mailin was already a little anxious. He felt that this was just a waste of time. If he had the time, it would be better to find a way out.
"Don't be impatient. At least now we know that there is a person or something in this house that maintains the power here. As long as we solve it, we can leave safely. And based on our experience, all the windows in this house, even
It’s the glass products that can be avoided without being touched. That weird ability may not only be applied to that window.”
"Really?" Mailin whispered to himself after hearing this.
Then he glanced at Thomas, who was still hiding in the corner and shivering. Thomas had not paid attention to the conversation between Carl and Mailin just now. What happened tonight had pushed his weak nerves to the point of near collapse. If
Without Mai Lin's threats, I'm afraid he would still be crying in his arms in the small room on the first floor.
Looking at Thomas who was completely useless, Mailin looked hard, as if he had decided something.
Then he walked to the corner, squatted down, and patted Thomas on the shoulder.
"Thomas, listen."
Mailin's tone became gentle, as if to appease him.
"You must also want to go back alive, right?"
"Yes...yes." Thomas panted frequently and answered Mailin.
"Then you have to recover now. This is not the way to go. We still need your help to escape."
"Yes...yes, boss." Thomas continued to respond.
"But please give me some time, my legs are weak now."
Upon hearing Thomas's answer, Mailin's eyes immediately became extremely cold.
"Then I'm sorry."
"Huh?" Thomas looked at Mailin who changed his face quickly in surprise.
Then his neck was pinched again, and with Mailin's huge strength, his whole body was lifted up and hung in the air.
Holding Mailin's arms with both hands, his legs were weakly kicking the air. Thomas's feeble struggle had no effect.
"Old...boss...?"
He asked in confusion as his face became swollen due to difficulty in breathing due to being pinched.
"Since I can't move, I have no choice but to invite you to do an experiment."
As he spoke, Mailin gave Thomas a hard shake and threw him to the table aside.
"Cough...cough cough cough..."
Sitting on the table, Thomas hugged his neck and coughed violently.
He didn't notice at all that what he was leaning against was the window in this room!
Then, exactly like before, he began to twist without realizing it, and was instantly swallowed by the window here!
Karl didn't know what to say about Mailin's decisiveness. What if giving away people like this would enhance the abilities of the enemies here? Although it is now clear that all windows in this house are dangerous, this is too sudden.
.
If possible, Carl now really wants to try whether his dagger can deal with the windows here, but he doesn't want a theater that won't resist. If it doesn't work, he will have to get in.
After giving up this idea, Karl said: "It's not an option to waste time here. Let's go out and have a look."
