Doomsday Wonderland

"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 he 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 this is just a game after all. Once people enter, it will definitely have an impact on the development of the situation. You can't blame me for this..."

What he said is not wrong - ever since players intervened, the direction of the "Jack the Ripper" incident has gone further and further. Not only was there one more tailor among the dead, the number of victims now reached five, but the game still showed no signs of ending.

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 it wasn't actually the case?"

"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. Lin Sanjiu became suspicious and rushed in to take a look. He found that the two of them had already run away from the back door - and asked the coachman and his wife again, no one knew that. Where did the brothers go?

The development of the game to this point can no longer be measured according to the historical process; 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 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 body spots on it, and the room was completely silent.

If someone pushed the door in at this moment, she would most likely 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, and she had nowhere to go; since Annie's body couldn't be thrown 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 way that was most acceptable.

After sitting in silence like this for a while, Lin Sanjiu could neither clarify her thoughts nor alleviate the anxiety in her heart. What's more, there was a corpse sitting coldly next to her - whenever lightning struck outside, she could see Annie's body when she turned her head; in the darkness, the chest of the corpse seemed to be about to rise and fall together again. Breathing is the same.

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 facing this kind of situation; 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, stood up, and walked around the house in the dark. This game has developed to this point, and she is completely confused. She might as well find something to do for herself - this apartment is small and shabby, and there are a lot of clutter. She groped around the bedroom and couldn't find it. Where are the 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 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 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; 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 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 drenched in ice and snow, and slowly, slowly turned 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. That was probably Annie's body. At the same time, the black shadow also suddenly Jumping up and waving his hands, a metallic cold light suddenly lit up in the darkness.

This was the worst place to encounter Jack the Ripper; the surroundings were 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, fell to the ground with a thud, and was suddenly scratched by a long knife on his shoulder; 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 met since he entered the game. Judging from the opponent's strength and skill, Lin Sanjiu, who now had no ability to evolve, Some are even not sure how long they can sustain it.

"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 anyone there? 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. superior. 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 have much confidence in protecting herself, let alone subduing or killing the opponent; however, if the murderer could not be made public, it would not be considered "catching" "If you kill him, the game will never end."

Therefore, Lin Sanjiu knew that the shadow behind him would pounce again soon, 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 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, hitting the man's 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 was the Potato Brothers.

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

1 There is no soundproofing or soundproofing. Her words spread out and fell into the rain. Brother Tudou was stunned for a moment, apparently hearing them - but then, the two looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and showed two identical faces to Lin Sanjiu. smile.

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 filled with frustration: "I've been searching all day, but I couldn't find the Ripper -"

Before he could finish saying the word "Jack", he was stunned on the spot. He stammered and said with a bit of excitement: "Ah, ah...c-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 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 his hands. Therefore, as soon as Lin Sanjiu pounced on him, he quickly shouted "Ahhh" and rushed out of the house with her, running into the rain. in the ground.

Brother Tudou had long since disappeared. The yard was empty and there was no one. 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; she had no choice but to run and shout all the way, but the rain tonight was too heavy and her The sound was drowned in the roaring water, and no one seemed to hear it.

Rushing onto the road in one breath, Lin Sanjiu took a breath, her eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with wetness. She called out to the young man, but didn't hear a response. When she turned her head, she realized that the young man was missing.

Could it be that he was caught by Jack the Ripper?

As soon as this thought 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 through the rain curtain behind her.

...That was the sound of a car engine and two dazzling headlights.
