"Didn't you say that...the five people who died were all prostitutes?"
Lin Sanjiu withdrew his gaze from the newspaper and stared at the young man closely.
"Yes, that's right!" the young man emphasized, then lowered his head and saw the huge headline on the newspaper, and his expression suddenly became a little panicked. "I'm not lying to you, this is indeed the case in history. But here
After all, it’s just a game. Once people enter, it will definitely have an impact on the development of the situation. This, you can’t blame me..."
His words are not wrong - ever since players intervened, the direction of the "Jack the Ripper" incident has gone further and further. Not only was there an additional tailor among the dead, but the number of victims now reached five
, but the game still has no tendency to end.
Lin Sanjiu thought blankly for a while, her thoughts becoming more and more confused. However, the vague intuition that something was wrong kept beating in her mind like nerves in a wound.
"Besides, when we came in, we just heard that woman say that two people were dead." The young man never looked at anyone when he spoke, but just lowered his head and defended: "Of course I thought it was like in history,
It was two prostitutes who died...how do I know they weren't?"
"Forget it, forget it," Lin Sanjiu frowned and waved her hands at him several times: "Let's wait a while and see if this game will end."
The game is not over.
She waited for several hours; the sun rose and set in the game - but it still continued. Until night, the Tudou brothers did not come out of the coachman's house, and Lin Sanjiu became suspicious.
When I rushed in and took a look, I found that the two of them had already run away through the back door - and when I asked the coachman and his wife, no one knew where the two brothers had gone.
The development of the game to this point cannot be measured according to the historical process at all; another victim was found dead in a secluded and dark corner in the evening, and his death method was exactly the same as the previous ones.
So many people died one after another, and the streets near Whitechapel suddenly became a lot cleaner: homeless prostitutes and gangsters, I don’t know what they thought of, and where they hid - but when the night once again accompanied them
When the heavy rain came, almost no pedestrians could be seen.
...The rain in the game is getting heavier and heavier.
It was a dark rainy night outside, and occasionally a flash of lightning illuminated the living room - Lin Sanjiu was sitting in the living room with a dead body that had already been covered with body spots, and the room was completely silent.
If someone pushed the door in at this moment, she would probably scare her out of her mind; but since that young man went out to look for Jack the Ripper again, no one would come here again. The candles in the room had long been burned out.
She had nowhere to go; since she couldn't throw Annie's body out anyway, Lin Sanjiu simply put her on the sofa and sat down side by side.
She neither wanted to look at the body nor dared not lose sight of it; on the contrary, this was the only method that was most acceptable.
After sitting in silence like this for a while, Lin Sanjiu could neither clarify his thoughts nor alleviate the anxiety in his heart. What's more, there was a cold corpse sitting next to him - whenever lightning struck outside,
She could see Anne's body when she tilted her head; in the darkness, the body's chest seemed to be rising and falling, as if it was about to start breathing again.
How about throwing away the bedroom?
Lin Sanjiu thought a little hesitantly.
Ever since her experience at Ruyue Station, she had always felt strangely sensitive and nervous when faced with such situations; it was okay to put the body in the bedroom, but Lin Sanjiu was afraid that he would turn his head unknowingly and see her in vain.
Sensen's face emerged step by step from the darkness.
I want to think about it, but this is not Kisaragi Station after all; in a copy of a serial killer, it doesn't make sense for a ghost to appear again...
Lin Sanjiu suppressed these messy thoughts and stood up, walking around the house in the dark. This game had developed so far that she was completely confused. She might as well find something to do for herself - this apartment was too small.
It was broken and there were a lot of clutter. She groped around the bedroom and couldn't find any extra candles.
As a tavern owner, this is too poor.
Lin Sanjiu sighed, turned around and walked little by little towards the bedroom door; after staying in the dark for so long, her eyes had adapted to the environment, so although she walked slowly, she didn't touch anything - just when she came
When she reached the door, she suddenly heard a slight noise.
...It's hard to tell exactly what the sound was, but the sound was fleeting and then disappeared into the sound of rain outside the window, making people think that they almost heard it wrong.
Lin Sanjiu stood quietly at the door and listened for a while.
There was no sound.
It was wrong to say that there was no sound - there were many people living in this small courtyard, and she could always hear all kinds of vague sounds from the neighbors' homes, including coughs, quarrels, and the sound of doors opening and closing... It was just this small house.
The living room was silent all the time, as if far away from the rest of the world.
Lin Sanjiu slowly walked back to the living room. In the dimness, everything looked the same as before; the messy chairs, the low-legged table, the coat rack kicked over by the young man, the motionless body on the sofa... It seemed that
It was just a sound coming from a neighbor's house.
After exhaling, Lin Sanjiu bent down and sat down - this time she sat a little further away from the body, but not far, because the sofa was already very small.
As soon as his body landed on the sofa cushion, the same subtle noise as before suddenly came from the sofa.
...Someone was sitting on this sofa just now.
Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt as if she had been soaked in ice and snow, and slowly, slowly twisted her head.
At the same time, the corpse slowly turned its head and exposed a row of white teeth to her in the darkness.
The black shadow laughed lowly beside her, his voice hoarse, exactly the sound she had heard in the alley.
Not Annie!
Lin Sanjiu jumped up suddenly, and then discovered that there was another vague shadow lying at the foot of the black shadow. It was probably Annie's body. At the same time, the black shadow also suddenly
He jumped up and waved his hand, and a cold metallic light suddenly lit up in the darkness.
This was the worst place to encounter Jack the Ripper; the surrounding area was dark and full of all kinds of messy furniture and sundries. Even though Lin Sanjiu was agile, he was struck by something after taking two hurried steps back.
He tripped and fell to the ground, and his shoulder was slashed by a long knife; this time, the wound was so deep that the skin and flesh were torn apart.
The shadow laughed again and stood tall in front of her. The young man guessed that Jack the Ripper was big, and he was right - this man was the tallest person Lin Sanjiu had ever met since entering the game;
It seems that Lin Sanjiu, who has no ability to evolve at this moment, is not sure how long he can last.
"anyone there!"
Turning over suddenly, she narrowly avoided the long knife that was slashing at her; when the tip of the knife sank into some piece of wooden furniture, Lin Sanjiu shouted loudly: "Is there someone there? It's a murder!"
The black shadow immediately let out a low breath, pulled out the long knife from the furniture, and immediately rushed towards Lin Sanjiu.
If it were an ordinary woman, she would have been caught by him long ago; however, Lin Sanjiu was very agile, squatted on the ground, grabbed the piece of furniture just now, and swung it at him hard, hitting the black shadow on the calf.
Above. The black shadow screamed uncontrollably, as if it was in pain. Taking this opportunity, Lin Sanjiu rolled on the spot, got up quickly, and stumbled to the window nearest to her.
In such a small and crowded living room with stumbling objects everywhere, she didn't even have much confidence in protecting herself, let alone subduing or killing the opponent; however, if the murderer could not be made public, then it would not be considered "catching"
If you kill him, the game will never end.
Therefore, Lin Sanjiu knew that the dark shadow behind him would soon pounce on him again, but he still seized this opportunity, slapped the window hard, and shouted loudly: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"
She only had time to say this before she heard the sound of wind coming up behind her again. Lin Sanjiu didn't have time to look back, she just dodged and the long knife grazed her and plunged into the window lattice.
Seeing that he was stuck again, Lin Sanjiu immediately kicked him in the chest and hit the man in the belly; the black shadow screamed in pain and fell out.
However, the shadow happened to block the direction leading to the door. Lin Sanjiu was so anxious that she could only shout out the window again - this time, as soon as she finished speaking, a shadow suddenly flashed in the night sky outside.
The electric light illuminated the two faces close to the window.
It's the Potato Brothers.
"Jack the Ripper is here!" Lin Sanjiu was startled, then his eyes lit up and he shouted: "Come and catch him!"
Windows in the 19th century were not soundproof or soundproof. Her words spread out and fell into the rain. Brother Tudou was stunned for a moment, apparently hearing him - but then the two looked at each other,
He shrugged his shoulders and showed two identical smiles to Lin Sanjiu.
Lin Sanjiu felt cold all over.
She didn't understand why Brother Tudou refused to come in to catch the murderer, but she knew she didn't have much time - when the black shadow stood up again, Lin Sanjiu retreated hastily, wanting to grab something to defend herself; however,
She happened to have retreated to the sofa at this time, and suddenly stepped on something round under her feet. Before she could stand still, she sat down on the ground again.
Anne's white face looked at her blankly in the dim light cast by the window.
Lin Sanjiu was startled, but it was too late - the long knife had already stabbed down in the air, but there was nothing in her hand; in a hurry, she could only raise her forearm, planning to risk it with half of her arm.
To save one's life at the cost——
At this critical moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
The young man's tone was full of frustration: "I've been searching all day, but I still can't find the Ripper——"
Before he could finish the word "Jie", he was stunned on the spot, stammering, and actually said with a bit of excitement: "Ah, ah... Mo, could it be..."
The black shadow froze, and he seemed to understand that if the young man ran out of the door, he would be in great trouble; without saying a word, he turned around and slashed at the young man with his long knife.
"Run!" Lin Sanjiu roared, taking this opportunity to get up quickly and rush towards the door from the other side.
Although the young man was introverted, his reaction was not slow. He stumbled back a few steps to avoid the long knife, but almost lost his balance. Although he was very fascinated by Jack the Ripper, he obviously did not want to die at his hands.
; Therefore, as soon as Lin Sanjiu pounced on her, he quickly shouted "Ahhh" and rushed out of the house with her and ran into the rain.
The Tudou Brothers had long since disappeared, and the yard was empty, with no one around. Lin Sanjiu couldn't rush to the neighbor's coachman - because the two families were close to each other, and Jack the Ripper was chasing him from that direction.
Come out; she had no choice but to run and shout all the way, but the rain was so heavy tonight that her voice was drowned in the roaring water, and no one seemed to hear her.
Lin Sanjiu rushed onto the road in one breath, and her eyebrows and eyelashes were all wet. She called out to the young man, but did not hear a response. When she turned her head, she found that the young man was gone.
Traces.
Could it be that he was caught by Jack the Ripper?
As soon as this idea came to her mind, she immediately turned around and went back, squatting outside the courtyard wall and looking in. However, at this moment, a voice that she could not understand, accompanied by two bright lights, instantly tore the rain curtain behind her.
.
...That was the sound of a car engine and two dazzling headlights.
