Just when Lin Sanjiu turned around and jumped up, her vision went dark, and the two headlights disappeared instantly. Amidst the rumbling rain, there was still a dark road ahead, with no people and naturally no cars.
"Fantasy...hallucination?"
Or the settings of the copy?
She couldn't remember exactly: when were cars manufactured? Did cars exist at the end of the 19th century?
Lin Sanjiu gasped and wiped another handful of water on her face - the rain was so heavy that even though she kept wiping her face, she was still watered down to the point where she couldn't open her eyes.
Just when she was full of doubts, a "splat" sound from stepping into the water immediately shocked her out of her wits. Lin Sanjiu looked up and found that as soon as she stood up, she fell into the eyes of the killer.
At this time, the black figure was striding towards her. Even in the dark rainy night, the long knife in his hand flashed through the cold light.
She immediately ran away - the wound on Lin Sanjiu's shoulder was soaked by the rain, and became even more scorching in the cold, as if it was about to be infected. She did not dare to get involved with Jack the Ripper with her injury, so she had no choice but to run.
While shouting, hoping to alert nearby residents.
She was not slow, and Jack the Ripper was never able to catch up with her; however, after running for a while, Lin Sanjiu gradually realized that something was wrong.
She had been running wildly on the street for nearly seven or eight minutes, and the heavy footsteps behind her still followed her, as if the black shadow was not afraid of being discovered at all. But that was not the most terrible thing.
Lin Sanjiu could hear the sound of footsteps dozens of meters away clearly. Why was it that no one heard her shouting at the top of her throat?
The surroundings were getting darker and darker, and the buildings one after another were submerged into the darkness, as if they were melting away. A few minutes ago, there were still a few dim lights from the street lamps, but now they have all retreated into the darkness. Lin Sanjiu
I can't see anything clearly. I can only see the small section of road under my feet, and my ears are filled with the sound of rain, footsteps, breathing, water splashing...
She could feel the man behind her getting closer and closer - the hairs on the back of her neck seemed to stand up with his hot breath -
I don't know whether she was slower or the man was faster. Lin Sanjiu twisted around suddenly, turned around and rushed into a nearby path. The blood exploded in her muscles, and she felt that she had burst out with great strength. However,
But she didn't run very far - she heard a hoarse laugh from behind, and a big hand struck her shoulder.
Somehow, he didn't use the knife in his hand.
Lin Sanjiu was fast and reacted quickly. He couldn't touch her at all this time. However, the hand suddenly fell on her shoulder and pulled hard. Her feet slipped and she was immediately knocked to the ground.
Lin Sanjiu hit the ground with the back of her head, her vision blurred and blurred, she slowly turned sideways, and it took several seconds to calm down.
The black figure was already blocking her side like an iron tower, and it looked even bigger. The tip of the knife in his hand shone silver in the rain, and the blood stained when he stabbed Lin Sanjiu had long been washed away.
.
The black shadow seemed to say something vaguely, bent down and held her shoulders, and immediately pushed her face into the puddle on the ground.
Lin Sanjiu twisted her neck to the limit, trying to see clearly the face behind her from the corner of her eye - but the killer was still wearing the same hat, which was drenched by the rain and hung low, completely blocking his face in the shadows.
.
"The fifth one," he said hoarsely, his breathing still heavy despite the sound of rain; he raised the knife in his right hand - but at this moment, Lin Sanjiu suddenly tilted his head back, and suddenly hit the back of his head.
It hit his chin. When it hurt, the black figure couldn't help but let out a low cry, and loosened his hand slightly, leaving a precious gap for her. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Sanjiu struggled hard and held on.
It rolled over on the ground.
She obviously put in the effort to suck the milk, but the blow just now only caused the black shadow a pain.
Not only that, all Lin Sanjiu's struggles and resistance seemed to be put into an invisible sleeve and restrained; she could still fight and kick him out, but when she landed on that person, she didn't know how.
The taste has changed——
...She looks like an ordinary woman with little strength.
The rain was still heavy, blackening everything in sight. There were no people or buildings nearby; it seemed that at this moment, Lin Sanjiu and her life were trapped in this dark, uninhabited corner.
, facing a tall and stout killer alone.
When Lin Sanjiu was hit hard in the lower abdomen by a punch, Lin Sanjiu felt blood surge all over her body, as if her eyes were about to burst out. If the victims back then could speak, they would probably tell her that they had also gone through it.
He died in the exact same pain, right?
Will she die the same way?
Just as this thought came to her mind, there was a sudden bright light in front of her. Being hit by the strong light, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but squint her eyes. For a moment, everything in front of her eyes was dazzled - the engine roared and the black shadow suddenly appeared.
Shocked, he immediately took a few steps back.
"Get in the car quickly!"
The young man's anxious roar came from behind the two beams of bright white light. Lin Sanjiu reluctantly opened his eyes, and could only barely see clearly the two dazzling headlights and the numerous people in the light in this pitch-black sky and earth.
Raindrops.
It turns out that it was not a hallucination, it was him who drove the car——
"Hurry up, it's too late!"
The young man shouted again, and Lin Sanjiu reacted immediately; she quickly glanced at the black figure, and seeing that the man seemed to be rushing up again, she hurriedly turned around and rushed towards the old car, opened the door and got out of the car.
Got in.
Amidst the sharp sound of the engine, the car backed up and exited the narrow alley. As soon as the young man turned the steering wheel, the car immediately turned almost ninety degrees, just in time to align the driver's position with the alley - the young man
But he didn't step away, he just stared blankly at the alley and the people in the alley.
"Come on, what are you doing?" Lin Sanjiu was covered in pain, and her muscles were shaking. It was as if she had regressed back to the time before the doomsday - no, even at that time, her physical fitness was better than now.
many.
"Ah, oh," the young man was excited, and then he remembered to step on the accelerator. His voice was full of uncontrollable excitement: "I, I saw him, I saw him! I know who Jack the Ripper is!"
"
Lin Sanjiu was startled and quickly turned her head - but at this time the car had already driven far away, and she could only vaguely see a figure jumping out of the alley behind, but she couldn't make out the appearance clearly.
"Who is he?" As soon as she relaxed, her throat suddenly became hoarse: "Is he someone we have met before?"
The young man ignored her, as if he was still immersed in excitement. Lin Sanjiu asked him again, but when he still didn't respond, he suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly: "Where did you find this car? At the end of the 19th century
Already have a car?”
"Yes," the young man replied this time, his voice still trembling due to excitement: "It seems that cars were manufactured during this time period."
Lin Sanjiu didn't remember this at all, she just bit her lip and was stunned for a few seconds; she thought for a while and sighed: "It seems that knowing who the killer is is not enough, the game is not over yet - you go now
Where to open it?"
While they were talking, the car kept driving forward. In addition to the road ahead illuminated by the headlights, the thick darkness outside gradually faded away, and the buildings on both sides of the road reappeared in the rainy night.
The outline appeared. When the vision changed from thick darkness to dimness, the young man said: "I am going to the intersection of Chatham Road and Princess Road."
Lin Sanjiu was startled.
She had never heard of these two place names, but it didn't stop her fingertips from suddenly starting to tremble.
...Under the slightly brighter light, she saw many familiar things: fuel gauge, odometer, handbrake——
In front of the car window, there was a dangling Bodhisattva statue and a sign that read "Safe entry and exit"; she was sitting in the passenger seat, opposite a taxi driver's job card with a photo. On the job card
The words have been blurred, but the face can still be distinguished in the black and white photo - red phoenix eyes and double eyelids, it is the young man next to him.
Lin Sanjiu turned around suddenly and happened to meet the pair of pink and phoenix eyes in the photo.
"We've known each other for such a long time, but it seems we haven't exchanged names yet." The young man grinned at her, "Let's get to know each other. My surname is Lin, and my name is Lin Guoyu."
The car door was locked with a click.
"...But later, I changed my name. My name is Lin Guoyun now. Life is just a fleeting thing." The young man turned his head and smiled: "...In Hong Kong, they also call me 'The Butcher on a Rainy Night'.
