Doomsday Wonderland

When Lin Sanjiu recognized the shape of the hat, she immediately jumped forward and fell into the puddle. Water splashed everywhere, and she twisted around, but still felt a hot pain on her back. It was obviously scratched by something - before she could turn her head to look, Lin Sanjiu kicked her backwards, taking advantage of the man to take two steps back. When he stood up, he jumped up from the ground.

At the back of the alley, where the light could not reach, a dark shadow stood.

The man retreated into the shadows and put on a hat, making it difficult for people to see his face. However, when he slashed with the knife, he realized that he could not hit the woman, and he seemed to be surprised; then the man took a breath. , turned around and rushed into the darkness behind, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Just as Lin Sanjiu was about to chase after him, he suddenly stopped - in the alley ahead, the rainy night had condensed into a thick darkness, and nothing could be seen.

She lost all her abilities at this time, and the opponent had a long knife...

Panting, Lin Sanjiu turned around and touched the wound on her back; fortunately, she reacted quickly just now, and only the clothes and a layer of skin were scratched. Although the injury was not serious, blood was oozing out, covering every touch of his hand.

Looking at the dark alley, Lin Sanjiu hesitated, wondering what happened to the young man - the man just now was tall and strong, and could not be any of the evolved ones; she wanted to scream, but suddenly remembered that she had been I have never asked the young man his name, and I don’t even know what to call him.

After listening for a moment, the alley was just silent, with no human voice or screams. On the contrary, more and more pedestrians gathered on the road behind him. Lin Sanjiu thought for a while, then turned around and walked into the dim light of the street lights, following the flow of people buzzing in discussion towards the place where the commotion occurred.

Raindrops floated down line by line in the yellow light, and the wet road was glowing. One after another, people crowded into a circle, surrounding the end of the road, and even several carriages were pushed aside; like a swarm of frightened bees, this large group of people whispered, pushed and pushed, From time to time, a pale person would fall to the ground with a thud.

Relying on his own strength, Lin Sanjiu ignored the complaints and protests of the people around him and unceremoniously pushed everyone in his way aside and squeezed into the front row.

The police are still on their way, and no one is maintaining order. But everyone unknowingly kept a large distance from the deceased on the ground, as if they were shocked by this tragic way of death - "Hurry, someone has fainted", " Words such as "Don't let women come here to see me" filled the sound of the rain low and pale.

In the semi-darkness of the night, at first glance, it was just a blood-stained human figure, as if someone had thrown a few ropes on it. But when Lin Sanjiu took a few steps closer and took a closer look, she finally saw clearly——

The corpse, whose upper body was wrapped in rags, had been deeply cut open from the throat to the lower abdomen; the greasy internal organs, which were luckily not mashed into blood, glistened wetly under the night lights. Several other organs were dug out and thrown on the rain-covered ground, like balls of smashed mud. From the information provided by the young man, Lin Sanjiu knew that they should be the uterus and kidneys of the deceased.

The skirt of the corpse was gone, and she spread her legs widely. The flesh and blood between the legs gushed out, and the bloody hole was made big by being torn apart. As for those "ropes", they were just bloody intestines pulled out from her belly. They seemed to be endlessly long and stretched around the dead body.

Even though she had seen many tragic situations, Lin Sanjiu still couldn't help feeling nauseated - she swallowed the sour water in her throat, and before turning around and walking out of the crowd, she took one last glance and suddenly froze.

...The body was not that of Anne Chapman.

Did Annie run away?

Lin Sanjiu's mind was filled with confusion for a moment, and she hurriedly pushed through the crowd and retreated. When she was about to go back to the dark alley to have a look, she met two familiar, dumbfounded faces after walking a few steps - none other than the Potato Brothers.

"What's wrong?" When my brother saw Lin Sanjiu, he immediately asked, "What happened in front of me?"

"A prostitute died, and it was probably the killer who did it."

The two brothers blinked blankly, with blank expressions, as if they didn't understand at all.

Lin Sanjiu sighed and didn't want to say more to them. He just asked, "Have you seen that young man?"

"I saw it," the younger brother replied, staring straight at Lin Sanjiu: "We just heard the commotion and came over here, and happened to bump into him. He seemed to be looking for you everywhere."

After asking for the direction, Lin Sanjiu hurriedly looked over, but saw no trace of the young man. He wanted to turn around and ask the Tudou brothers, but found that they were also missing. At this time, more and more people gathered on this road, and the police finally arrived. There were whistles, cars and horses in the rain, and there was a commotion everywhere - Lin Sanjiu searched for a while, but found no one. , simply walked back towards the Dalton brothers’ residence.

When I chased Annie Chapman all the way out, I didn't think anything was wrong. As I walked back step by step, the road seemed longer and longer. When she finally reached the door of the apartment and was about to push the door open, she heard a sudden "Hey!"

Lin Sanjiu turned around and saw that it was the coachman in the next room. His shiny round head poked out, sparsely scattered with a few clumps of curly hair; the entire round head turned deep red, and a smell of alcohol filled his nostrils.

"Carlo, why are you sneaking back here again?" After he drank, he laughed again: "Did you know that Mr. Dalton just left and came back to steal things again?"

Lin Sanjiu then remembered that her identity here was that of a prostitute.

The round-headed coachman seemed to be very concerned about Dalton's financial situation. While asking Lin Sanjiu if he had gotten the money, he poked his head into the room. When he mentioned to Lin Sanjiu that his wife was also in the flesh business and hoped she could introduce him to her, the latter finally couldn't hold it back and walked through the door, shutting out his voice with a "bang".

There were no candles lit in the living room, and it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers. Lin Sanjiu groped for the location of the candle, opened the drawer, found the matches, and lit them one by one.

As soon as the fire light came on, she glanced around the room. When she saw that nothing was strange, she relaxed her tense nerves a little - she was really fed up with the darkness.

She walked to the couch, threw her body into the sofa, and then let out a long breath.

The sound of raindrops outside the window, the occasional "pop" of candle wicks, the faint voice of people coming from nowhere, the damp musty smell, the smell of horse urine stirred up by the rain... I don't know how long it took, but she was like this Sitting on the sofa, in this absolutely not comfortable environment, I quietly felt the fatigue flowing through my veins.

The person who attacked her tonight was probably Jack the Ripper. Anne was supposed to be the third deceased. Perhaps because of their intervention, the third deceased was now a different person - he had killed a total of five people in history, and now the total number of deceased was three; looking at this murder case The experience game will soon be over.

Physically, no evolver could possibly be Jack the Ripper. Since the person around her is not a killer, she has nothing to worry about; as for catching the murderer, since it is not a necessary condition to end the game, she naturally is not that interested - let the young man worry!

Determined, Lin Sanjiu leaned back on the sofa, feeling that her nerves had finally had a chance to relax in the past few days. She rested for a while, maybe because she was relaxed, but she felt a little hungry. When she was in the mountain village, she and the gift bag had eaten in various ways, and she had developed an appetite. Jin, I'm really not used to it.

Thinking of this, she looked around and found that the black bread bought by the young man was wrapped in a piece of brown paper and thrown on the low table. He ate half of them and left one untouched. When Lin Sanjiu reached for it, he bent down and slipped the copper plate out of his coat pocket, rolling it into the dark sofa with a clang.

Her eyes followed the copper plate and came face to face with a snow-white face.
