Doomsday Wonderland

Chapter 2391

This is anti-theft. Today's text is a bit long, so you guys should get some sleep first!

"Didn't you say...the five people who died were all prostitutes?"

Lin Sanjiu withdrew his gaze from the newspaper, and stared at the young man closely.

"That's right, that's right!" The young man emphasized, then lowered his head, and saw the huge headline in the newspaper, his expression panicked. "I'm not lying to you. It's true in history. But this is just a game after all. Once people enter, it will definitely affect the development of the situation. This, this can't be blamed on me..."

He couldn't be wrong about what he said—since players intervened, the "Jack the Ripper" incident has gone further and further away. Not only was there one more tailor among the dead, but the number of victims had already reached five, but the game still had no tendency to end.

Lin Sanjiu thought blankly for a while, her train of thought became more and more confused, but the intuition that something was wrong had been throbbing in her mind like a nerve in a wound.

"Besides, when we came in, we just heard from that woman that two people had died." The young man never looked at people when he spoke, but just lowered his head and defended: "I took it for granted that it was like in history, two prostitutes died... how do I know it wasn't?"

"Forget it." Lin Sanjiu frowned, and waved at him several times: "Wait a while and see if this game will end."

The game is not over.

She waited for hours; the sun rose and set in the game—and it went on. Until night, the Tudou brothers didn't come out from the driver's house. Lin Sanjiu became suspicious, rushed in and found that the two of them had already run away through the back door. After asking the driver and his wife, no one knew where the two brothers had gone.

The game has developed to the present, and it can no longer be measured according to the historical process; another victim was found dead in a secluded and dark corner this evening, and the death method was exactly the same as the previous ones.

After so many people died one after another, the streets near the Whitechapel were suddenly much cleaner: the homeless prostitutes and hooligans had thought of ways to hide somewhere—but when the night came with heavy rain again, few 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 already covered in spots, and the room was dead silent.

If someone pushed the door and came in at this time, she would probably be scared out of her. It's just that since the young man went out to find Jack the Ripper again, no one will come here again. The candles in the room had long been burned out, and she had nowhere to go; anyway, she couldn't throw Annie's body out, so Lin Sanjiu simply put her on the sofa and sat down side by side.

She neither wanted to look at the corpse, nor dared not see it; on the contrary, it was the only way, the most acceptable.

Sitting in such silence for a while, Lin Sanjiu neither sorted out his thoughts nor eased the anxiety in his heart at all. What's more, there was a dead body sitting beside her - whenever there was lightning outside, she would be able to see Anne's body when she turned her head; in the darkness, it seemed as if the dead body's chest was about to heave and breathe again.

How about throwing away the bedroom?

Lin Sanjiu thought hesitantly.

Ever since she experienced Kisaragi Station, she always has a strange sensitivity and nervousness when facing this situation; it's okay to put the body in the bedroom, but Lin Sanjiu is afraid that she will turn her head unconsciously and see her white face emerge 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 ghosts to come out again...

Lin Sanjiu suppressed these messy thoughts and stood up, walking around the house in the dark. This game has developed to the present, she is completely confused, she might as well find something to do for herself - this apartment is small and dilapidated, with a lot of clutter, she groped around in the bedroom, but couldn't find any extra candles.

As a tavern owner, this is too poor.

Lin Sanjiu sighed, turned around and walked towards the door of the bedroom little by little; after staying in the dark for so long, her eyes adapted to the environment, so although she walked slowly, she didn't touch anything—just when she came to the door, she suddenly heard a slight noise.

…It was 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 at all.

It’s not right to say that there is no sound—there are many people living in this small courtyard, and she can always hear all kinds of vague sounds from the neighbor’s house, coughing, quarreling, door opening and closing... It’s just that the living room of this small house has been silent, as if far away from the world.

Lin Sanjiu slowly walked back to the living room. In the dimness, everything looked the same as before; messy chairs, low tables, coat racks kicked over by young people, and motionless corpses on the sofa... It seemed that it was just the voice of a neighbor.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Sanjiu bent down and sat down—this time she sat a little further away from the corpse, but not far away, because the sofa was originally very small.

As soon as the body landed on the sofa cushion, there was a subtle noise that was exactly the same as before from the sofa.

...someone was sitting on this sofa just now.

Lin Sanjiu suddenly seemed to be drenched in ice and snow, and slowly, slowly twisted his head.

At the same time, the corpse turned its head slowly, revealing a row of white teeth to her in the darkness.

The black shadow laughed softly beside her, his voice was hoarse, it was the voice she had heard in the alley.

Not Anne!

Lin Sanjiu jumped up suddenly, only then did he realize that there was another vague shadow crouching at the foot of that black shadow, probably that was Annie's body.

This was the worst place to encounter Jack the Ripper; the surroundings were pitch black, and covered with all kinds of messy furniture and sundries—even though Lin Sanjiu was agile, he tripped over something after taking two quick steps back, fell to the ground with a thud, and was cut across his shoulder with a long knife; this time, the wound was deep and ripped apart.

The shadow laughed again, standing high in front of her. The young man guessed that Jack the Ripper was big, and he guessed right—this man is the tallest person Lin Sanjiu has met since he entered the game; judging from the opponent's strength and skill, Lin Sanjiu, who has no ability to evolve at the moment, is even a little uncertain how long he can last.

"anyone there!"

Turning around suddenly, she narrowly avoided the long knife that was cut at her; when the tip of the knife sank into some kind of wooden furniture, Lin Sanjiu shouted loudly: "Is anyone there! Killed someone!"

The black shadow suddenly let out a low breath, pulled the long knife out of the furniture with all his strength, and immediately rushed towards Lin Sanjiu again.

If it were an ordinary woman, he would have caught her by the hand; however, Lin Sanjiu was dexterous, leaned down on the ground, grabbed the piece of furniture just now, and slammed it hard at him, even hitting Hei Ying's calf. The black shadow groaned uncontrollably, as if it was in pain; taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Sanjiu rolled on the ground, hurriedly got up, and stumbled to the window closest to her.

In such a small and crowded living room full of stumbling objects, she was not sure enough to protect herself, let alone subdue or kill him; but if the murderer could not be made public, it would not be regarded as "caught" him, and the game would not be over.

Therefore, Lin Sanjiu knew that the black shadow behind him would rush up again soon, so he still seized this opportunity, slammed on the window vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Come here! Come here!"

She only had time to say this before she heard the wind behind her again; Lin Sanjiu didn't have time to look back, she just dodged, and the long knife brushed her and pierced into the window lattice.

Seeing that he was stuck again, Lin Sanjiu immediately kicked out the chest, hitting the man's stomach; only hearing Hei Ying's painful cry, he fell out.

However, the shadow happened to block the direction leading to the gate. Lin Sanjiu was so anxious that she could only call out the window again—this time, just as she finished speaking, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the night sky outside, illuminating the two faces close to the window.

It is the potato brothers.

"Jack the Ripper is here!" Lin Sanjiu was startled, then his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Come and catch him!"

The windows of the 19th century are not soundproof or soundproof. Her words were spread and fell into the rain. Brother Tudou was stunned for a moment, obviously hearing it—but then, the two looked at each other, shrugged their 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 that she didn't have much time—when Heiying stood up again, Lin Sanjiu hurriedly retreated, trying to grab something to defend herself; but she happened to have retreated to the side of the sofa at this moment, and suddenly stepped on a round object, and one of them couldn't stand still, and sat down on the ground again.

Anne looked at her dully in the dim light cast by the window with her pale face.

Lin Sanjiu was startled, but it was too late—the long knife had already stabbed down in the air, but she had nothing at hand; in a hurry, she could only raise her forearm, planning to fight to save her life at the price of half her arm—

At this critical moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

The young man's tone was full of frustration: "I searched all day, but I couldn't find the Ripper—"

Before the word "Jie" was finished, he froze on the spot, stammering, and said with some excitement: "Ah, ah... Mo, could it be..."

The black shadow froze, and 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 the long knife at the young man.

"Run!" Lin Sanjiu roared, taking this opportunity to get up quickly, and rushed to the door from the other side.

Although the young man was introverted, his reaction was not slow. He suddenly fell 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 didn't want to die at the hands of the other party; that's why Lin Sanjiu pounced on him, and he hurriedly let out an "ahhhhhhh" and rushed out of the house with her, and ran into the rainy field.

Brother Tudou didn't know where he went, the yard was empty and there was no one there. Lin Sanjiu couldn't rush to the neighbor's coachman—because the two houses were close together, and Jack the Ripper was chasing him from that direction; she could only run and shout all the way, but the rain tonight was so heavy that her voice was drowned in the roar of the water, as if no one heard her.

Rushing onto the road in one breath, Lin Sanjiu took a breath, her eyebrows and eyelashes were all wet. She yelled at the young man, but there was no response, and when she turned her head, she realized that the young man had disappeared.

Was it caught by Jack the Ripper?

As soon as this thought came to her, she immediately turned around and went back, squatting outside the courtyard wall and looking in. However, at this moment, a voice she couldn't understand, accompanied by two bright lights, instantly tore the rain curtain behind her.

…that was the sound of a car engine, with two blinding headlights.
