Doomsday Wonderland

The latest chapter of Doomsday Paradise

As the words rang out, Lin Sanjiu and the other two brothers turned their attention to the young man.

The gas lamps on the street went out one by one. The young man lowered his head and his face became increasingly unclear. He was short and wore an old denim jacket - the shoulders of the old denim jacket were high and wide, hanging empty on his thin body.

"How do you know? This is where one of the pair of potato brothers spoke.

Both brothers have round eyes with large and black pupils. Their faces are not very regular, but their expressions are very similar: no matter what they say, they always have round eyes and look straight at you, always making people want to look away - after all, for most people , it is always uncomfortable to meet other people's eyes.

Lin Sanjiu secretly compared the situation in her mind and found that the brother only reached her eyebrows - thus, as the only woman, she became the tallest person.

The young man seemed to have a very introverted character. He shrank in embarrassment before raising his face: "...because I have always been interested in Jack the Ripper and have read a lot of information about him, so I You’ll know it when you see it. Are you new here too?”

He had a slight Cantonese accent and a pair of double-lidded eyes. He looked delicate and elegant. No wonder the old man's description made Lin Sanjiu suspicious.

"I've been waiting for a long time," the brother said impatiently, finally looking away from the young man; Lin Sanjiu could clearly feel that the latter was obviously relieved - " Has that Jack started killing people now? How to catch him?"

The young man shook his head hastily: "I don't know... For hundreds of years, no one knows who Jack the Ripper is. Even the original London police were unable to do anything... It is not easy to catch him."

The younger brother took a breath, looked around with his eyes wide open, and said to himself: "...It's such a weird place."

"It's not just weird," Lin Sanjiu suddenly interjected, and several people looked at her at the same time.

She rubbed her temples and sighed: "...I'm afraid the safety of this copy is not as high as the old gatekeeper said. At the very least, I think our evolutionary abilities and special items should not be used."

While she was talking, she had quietly slipped the [Combat Item] into her pants pocket - it now looked like an ordinary piece of clay. Lin Sanjiu originally planned to turn it into a card and put it away, but now even [Flat World] has become mute and stopped responding.

The other people were stunned and glanced at each other, but no one said anything.

——These people meet by chance and have little trust in each other. It is reasonable for them to refuse to say "my ability really fails".

After some discussion, they decided to walk along this street to see if they found anything. The roles they were assigned were not important figures, they were just members of the slums living in the East End of London. After walking for a while, the brothers were "recognized" first: it turned out that they were The owner of a nearby tavern; the person who recognized them was a swaying, half-drunk Eastern European immigrant, and kept asking if he was going to open for business now.

There was still a light blue sky in the early morning, but it became even darker amid the rain and white mist. Although the young man had read a lot about Jack the Ripper, it was obviously his first time in London; after walking around for several times, the group found the famous Whitechapel in the East End - it is said that the first person to die from Jack the Ripper was The victim, a middle-aged prostitute who had been stabbed thirty-nine times, was found nearby.

In the continuous rain, this alley seemed even darker. 1. There is always a pungent, sulfur-like smell of smoke, and even the rain cannot wash away the deep and shallow haze in front of you. In this alley that was so hazy that it seemed unreal, a few people walked forward silently and aimlessly for a while, until suddenly there was the sound of heels "clicking" and "clicking" from around the corner.

Several people were stunned for a moment, and happened to see a young woman walking out of the rain and fog - she tightly wrapped a scarf with fur balls around her shoulders, and hurriedly walked around the corner; as soon as she noticed someone in front of her, she She seemed to be startled, and cautiously grabbed the hem of her skirt and took a few steps back. However, when she looked up and saw Lin Sanjiu, she seemed to be relieved.

"Carlo," she called out, one eye was completely black and blue, and the corner of her mouth was swollen by someone, and it was red and bloodshot. Her whole body exuded the smell of cheap and pungent powder, and the makeup on her face had long been smudged. From the look of this woman's clothes, her occupation was almost self-evident.

She took a few steps closer to Lin Sanjiu, looked at the young man again, and then whispered: "...are you two going home now? Is this the guest you just found?"

Lin Sanjiu and the young man looked at each other, dumbfounded - they didn't expect that the roles assigned to them in this game were actually prostitutes.

She didn't know how to respond, so she just said "Ah" vaguely.

"Be careful," the young prostitute said, suddenly her voice became hoarse, and she covered the corners of her dark eyes with her hands: "...that murderer has already killed two people around here. Can he do it sooner?" Go home, it’s better to go home early!”

Several evolved people were shocked when they heard this and couldn't help but look at each other.

"You two still have a place to stay," the young prostitute smiled bitterly, "I thought that the gentleman yesterday could give me a place to stay temporarily, but I didn't expect... Forget it, I'll go to the dock. Take a look around, maybe there’s still business.”

After saying that, without waiting for a few people to respond, she turned around and left in a hurry - her inferior high-heeled leather shoes no longer made a sharp "clack" sound from a close distance, and there was still a little leather on them. The sound of opening and closing again.

Seeing her walking away, the young man withdrew his gaze. He asked several people in a low voice: "What should we do now? It turns out that Jack the Ripper has killed two people."

"Are they all prostitutes?" Lin Sanjiu asked with a frown, "How many people did he kill in total?"

"...five, all prostitutes." The young man replied softly. "They were all killed within a few months and did not last long."

"Then even if we don't do anything, I guess this game won't last long." The elder brother of the two brothers said, "I have no interest in catching the murderer, so let's find a place to live in the game. , and then just wait for the game to end in the residence. How about it?"

Before Lin Sanjiu could say anything, the young man's face immediately turned red - "Well, it's not easy to have such an opportunity. I, I really want to see who is Jack the Ripper."

"What about you?" The elder brother glanced at Lin Sanjiu.

"Let's all go together," she thought for a moment and then advised the young man: "When you have a place to stay, it won't be too late for you to go out and inquire about it."

The young man lowered his head and agreed.

Finding a place to live is not difficult, but it is also easy. In the end, the young man came up with the idea to let the two brothers pretend to be drunk and ask people where their home is - Damn it. Using this stupid method, although there were some twists and turns along the way, they finally found their rental house.

It seems that the tavern owner is not having an easy time either. This cheap rental house was mixed with the residences of several old coachmen and shoe repairmen. The fenced yard behind was filled with the smell of horse urine and leather. Even with the windows closed, it penetrated into the house thickly.

After the group of four people sat down huddled together in the dark and cramped living room, Lin Sanjiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. There was a heavy damp musty smell in the house, as if no one had lived in it for a while - she looked up at the other people, and found that the brothers were obviously just like her, and they were a little confused and didn't know what to do next. . Only the young man's cheeks were flushed and his eyes were shining, as if he couldn't suppress the excitement of seeing Jack the Ripper with his own eyes.

"Why are you so interested in this murderer?" My brother's body sank into a single sofa. In the dim room, it seemed that only his straight eyes could be seen clearly.

The young man shrank and replied: "...Jack the Ripper is very famous. He is in movies, songs, novels... everything..."

"Since you're here, tell us more about Jack." The younger brother sat on the sofa in almost the same posture and asked the young man.

This sentence played into the hands of the young man - he had obviously done a lot of research on Jack the Ripper. When he heard this, he immediately changed his timid expression and explained the case in detail. I have told it once; I even remember many of the details very clearly, and sometimes I can even mention different sources.

"If I had said this before, people would have thought that I was a pervert." At the end of the sentence, the young man seemed to have noticed his excitement and lowered his head in embarrassment: "But there are many people who are interested in serial killers. This is nothing to me...I also heard that after many serial killers were arrested and imprisoned, many admirers corresponded with them and even married them in prison..."

Lin Sanjiu had also heard of this.

"Hey, it's dark outside." The younger brother looked out the window and suddenly called out softly.

When several people saw it, they couldn't help but be stunned. Time in the game obviously passed faster than in reality; the young man just told the case once, and the sky outside the window had already turned from early morning to night - under the dim light of the gas street lamp, one prostitute after another was seen. , hooligans, and drunkards gradually increased in number. Women of all ages and looks stood in groups on the street, shivering in the cold night, waiting for the arrival of guests.

"If you want to find the murderer, go ahead." The elder brother smiled at the young man and pointed to the shadow hidden under the street lamp outside the window. "The two of us can accompany you -"

As soon as he said this, he was cut off by a sudden knock on the door. The few of them looked at each other. Lin Sanjiu was closest to the door, so she stood up and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, the woman outside was stunned.

"Carol? Didn't Mr. Dalton ask me to come here?" She wiped her red lips and painted her face white, but it couldn't hide the sagging skin and tired wrinkles. She raised her voice and UU Reading www.uukanshu.net The sharp questioning voice made Lin Sanjiu's ears hurt: "Why are you here? Did you steal my business?"

As soon as she made such a noise, the neighbor's door was pushed open a crack - an older man poked his head out and teased her with a smile: "...Annie, Mr. Dalton is so much younger than you. I'm afraid I have no interest in you. Otherwise, you might as well come to me——"

"Bah, you have to be rich!" The prostitute named Annie spit out her real deal, and a mouthful of white phlegm wiped the toe of Lin Sanjiu's shoe.

Dalton seems to be the names of the two brothers in the game - Lin Sanjiu was so quarreled by her that she had a headache. He was about to ask the two brothers to send her away, but when he turned around, he met a couple who were excited and nervous. , and Yiyi’s shining eyes.

"Annie?" the young man repeated in a trembling voice, "Annie Chapman?"

The old-looking prostitute turned her head with a puzzled look on her face: "...What are you doing?"

Lin Sanjiu and the two brothers' eyes were now on the young man. He glanced back and lowered his voice so softly that he almost just mouthed: "——She is the third victim." (To be continued.)
