Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 541: Dead or alive

When daylight came, in the humid low-cost rental house, Lin Sanjiu moved a chair and placed it by the window, staring at the passers-by on the road for a long time.

The neighborhood of Whitechapel in the East End of London is a gathering place for many poor immigrants, most of whom are from Russia or Eastern Europe. Therefore, there are always Caucasian faces coming and going on the streets. But occasionally there are some mixed-race people who can't tell where they are from - if the pair of potato brothers put on suitable clothes and walked on the street, Lin Sanjiu might really not be able to tell whether they were players or locals.

It is not difficult to change into player clothes.

This dungeon must have existed for more than a day or two, and they definitely cannot be the first batch of players to enter. If there were any evolved people who had an accident here before, and someone wanted to take off all their clothes, it would probably not be difficult.

The young man also told Lin Sanjiu his complete guess: "...that brother said he was sleeping at home, who can prove it? I think it is very possible that my brother is Jack the Ripper, but we can't follow him. We like to kill people, so my younger brother walked with us, taking the opportunity to create chaos and distract our attention, and then my elder brother attacked Anne on the other side... Historically, some people did suspect that Jack the Ripper had an accomplice!"

When he said this, his eyes sparkled.

No matter whether this young man’s guess is reasonable or not, and why he is so fascinated by Jack the Ripper, he is indeed right about one thing: in the context of London, England, in the nineteenth century, an East Asian - to be precise, He was a Chinese man wearing a denim jacket and with a slight Cantonese accent—certainly an outsider like Lin Sanjiu.

Then the next question is the penny in my hand...

Lin Sanjiu looked at the copper plate between her fingers. The slightly dented coin had a white edge dyed in the skylight outside the window. It is thin and not very heavy. People with weak hands may not even be able to throw it very far——

Can it be used to break a street lamp?

If the ability is not blocked, of course there is no problem. But Lin Sanjiu tried it in private, and unexpectedly she broke a street lamp - because she found that her physical strength was at a very delicate stage: although her evolutionary ability could no longer be used, the effect of increasing her physical strength was still there. Some were left behind, and at this time, her strength was roughly equivalent to that of a naturally strong man.

Especially in the 19th century, street lamps were made very poorly and brittle. In addition, the street lamp was so close that it would not be a problem if there were tools such as slingshots...

When Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she scratched her hair irritably and simply threw the mess away.

Anyway, after Jack the Ripper kills five people, the game will eventually end. So what if the mystery is not solved? At worst, she just needs to be more careful when in front of Brother Tudou.

The daytime in the game actually only lasts about thirty minutes; by the time she pushed her chair and stood up, it was already the beginning of night outside and the lights were getting brighter. Next, there is a dark night that will last about four or five hours. From this point, it can be seen that a large part of the plot in the game must take place at night.

As soon as she stood up, the door of this narrow rental house was pushed open. The young man walked in and glanced at her. Because he was still holding two pieces of bread in his arms, he simply turned around and kicked the door shut with his foot, and asked, "Would you like something to eat?"

He went out "in the morning", but he only bought two loaves of bread, and it was already dark.

Lin Sanjiu glanced at the two loaves of dark, hard bread and shook her head without appetite.

The young man didn't mind, he tore a piece into his mouth and asked vaguely: "Where are the two brothers?"

After the initial fear faded, he began to take a great interest in Brother Tudou - his attitude could be called enthusiastic.

"Go... to find a prostitute." Lin Sanjiu said expressionlessly with some reluctance. She couldn't even explain a single word beyond this sentence.

Perhaps because he discovered that his identity as a tavern owner has already made him very attractive to prostitutes in the slums; Brother Tudou has been wandering the streets since last night, and he has taken a liking to every one of them. The woman teased him, and from time to time he would disappear on the street corner with a young prostitute AA, and would not come back for a long time. During the entire day and night in the game, they only come back once, and that's for change.

Although the old guard said he could do anything, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but be surprised.

As soon as the young man heard what she said, an expression appeared on his face: "Look, what am I talking about?" - he sat down in the chair farthest from Lin Sanjiu and lowered his head. He was chewing bread on his head, so that people could only see his dark top. As he chewed, he suddenly laughed softly amidst the sound of saliva mixed with saliva.

"Why are you laughing?" Lin Sanjiu didn't like his timid and sometimes unexpected attitude. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Jack the Ripper couldn't be an East Asian, she would have thought that this young man was more likely to be a murderer.

"No...nothing." He raised his eyelids, winced, and then said: "I...I just thought that if one of the two of them is indeed Jack the Ripper, and the other is Accomplice...that's so exciting."

Neither of them lit the lights at this time, and the room was so dark that it made people feel sad. In the dark living room, listening to him describing a serial killer in such a gently trembling voice was really not a pleasant thing - Lin Sanjiu didn't say anything, only found a few candles and lit them. .

Electric lights should have been introduced during this period, but the Dalton brothers' home had not yet been equipped with such modern things. The orange-red firelight could only illuminate a small area, and the light and shadow danced in the living room, making it even more faint and unlike the human world.

Lin Sanjiu did not look at the young man in the chair. He just leaned against the window and looked at all kinds of people on the street outside.

"...I think it would be better for us to keep up with the two brothers." The young man talked a lot, and it was only when he said this sentence that he attracted Lin Sanjiu's attention. : "If one of the prostitutes they found died, and it was the way of disemboweling her body and digging out her womb and intestines, then one of them must be Jack the Ripper!"

"If they are really just evolved people who come to have fun, it will be difficult to ensure that they are not discovered."

"But, you have to go and take a look." The young man lowered his head and bit his fingertips for a while, and said as if he was pleading.

However, he did not get a response from Lin Sanjiu. When the young man raised his head, he found Lin Sanjiu leaning against the window, squinting and looking out. She didn't know what she saw. The look of surprise on her face became more and more intense. She suddenly turned her head and looked towards him. Said: "Come here!"

"What's wrong?" He swallowed, walked closer, and cast his gaze.

In this game, it seems like it will rain at night. Thin strands of rain were floating in the sky, and the lights on the path in the distance were dyed into haloes by the rain curtain. In this blurry light, it was naturally difficult to distinguish people. The young man also squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a few seconds, then suddenly his face turned pale: "Eh, eh? No, it can't be?"

The two looked at each other, and then Lin Sanjiu and him rushed out of the door in unison.

When they stepped on the stagnant water and ran all the way into the path, the prostitutes who were hugging each other and talking under the street lamp couldn't help but look at them in surprise; Lin Sanjiu's eyes turned around. , found that their target had disappeared, and could not help but frown and asked the young man: "Did you see it?"

"No, no!" the young man gasped, "Did we see it wrong?"

Lin Sanjiu bit her lip, and for a moment she suspected that she had seen it wrong. She had only been out for a short while, but her head and face were already wet from the rain. When she touched her face, she was about to speak, but she was suddenly cut off by a "Bah!"

A woman's hoarse voice sounded immediately, and as the door opened with a bang, they immediately turned their heads: "——You dislike me for being old, but don't even look at how much money you are willing to give! No money , Why are you still pretending to be a gentleman here!"

Lin Sanjiu turned around and found a prostitute wearing a thin skirt standing at a newly opened doorway. She was cursing and wiping tears as she walked out: "It's just a murderer." Damn it, I thought spending the night with you would stain my skirt!"

She looked up in the night, revealing a relaxed and white face, it was Anne Chapman.

You read that right - it is indeed her, she is not dead!

Lin Sanjiu took a breath of air and glanced at the young man subconsciously. The latter seemed to be in great confusion at this time. He just stared at the prostitute and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Anne Chapman, wearing a faded old dress, glanced at them, then turned and walked in the other direction. She didn't seem to have any injuries on her body. When Lin Sanjiu saw this, she felt that her mind was confused for a moment, and she asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

"I, I don't know," the young man said in panic, not knowing whether he was happy or unhappy: "...could it be that those two brothers have nothing to do with Jack the Ripper? So, let's put it this way, You still have to continue to follow her..."

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but become a little anxious. When she looked up, she found that someone had struck up a conversation with Annie first. A man was holding an umbrella at this time, standing in the shadow of the corner, his figure thickened into a black shadow; Anne said something to him in a low voice, then smiled and put her sticky arms on the man. The man and the two disappeared behind the corner.

"Quick, let's follow!"

The young man jumped up as if he had been stabbed and ran away; Lin Sanjiu rushed to the street and saw Annie following the unknown man into a deep and dark alley. .

"Maybe that man is Jack the Ripper!" The young man's voice shrieked with excitement. Before Lin Sanjiu could speak, he got into the alley first.

The alley was dark and dark, and I could only barely see the path under my feet with the faint light. The young man's figure was not far ahead, almost too blurry to be seen. He was just moving forward rustlingly in the darkness.

"It's been a full circle, aren't we back to the starting point last night?" Lin Sanjiu sighed, and then followed in.

The occasional firelight from a low window on the path made the place without light appear even darker. After walking along the alley for a while, Lin Sanjiu didn't even know if she had turned a corner or gone on a side road - she and the young man turned around several times in the unfamiliar and dark alley, and even she was not sure whether she had turned a corner or not. I can't tell which direction it came from. As for Anne and her guests, they no longer know where they are.

"Forget it," Lin Sanjiu was also a little frustrated. After all, she wasn't that interested in catching a serial killer from hundreds of years ago. She whispered to the young man in front of her: "...How about we go back first?"

The young man's shadow nodded in the darkness and turned around silently, obviously disappointed again.

On the way back, there wasn’t even a lighted window. In the misty rain and fog, everything in Lin Sanjiu's vision was blurred into black; she and the young man were walking in the dark~IndoMTL.com~ and had to avoid debris and puddles under their feet. It was hard - looking at the intersection ahead, a ray of yellow light finally came through, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“We’re finally out,” Lin Sanjiu couldn’t help complaining, “To be honest, even if I see Jack the Ripper himself next time, I won’t chase him into an alley like this again——” △ ≧miào.*bi(.*)gé△≧，

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly heard a woman's scream in the distance again, which startled her nerves. However, this time, before the scream disappeared, there were immediately the sounds of many people's footsteps, Inquiries and shouts came faintly, obviously causing quite a commotion.

Lin Sanjiu quickly quickened her pace and ran towards the intersection. On the road with street lights, many people gathered with panic expressions. When two men walking together hurriedly passed the intersection, their conversation also drifted into her ears: "I heard that Another dead body appeared over there..."

Annie is still dead after all!

If Annie was dragged away and killed as soon as she entered the alley, then the period of time she and the young man were tracking her would be just enough time for her body to be abandoned on the roadside and discovered by passers-by.

“It seems that we looked in the wrong direction from the beginning, which gave Jack the Ripper enough time to kill people——” Lin Sanjiu felt the young man approaching behind her and sighed, having just finished speaking half a sentence. , and then when he looked down, his throat froze.

There are already lights here. Her shadow, together with another long shadow, was cast in the puddles on the stone road, and was shaken by the raindrops; the other shadow had the shape of a hat on its head.

…And the young man didn’t wear a hat.
