As the words sounded, Lin Sanjiu and the other two brothers set their eyes on the young man. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The gas lamps on the side of the street went out one by one, and the young man hung his head, his face becoming more and more indistinct. He was not tall and wore an old denim jacket - the shoulders of the old-fashioned denim jacket were high and wide, hanging empty from his thin body.

"How do you know this is 19th-century London?" One of the potato brothers asked.

Both brothers had round eyes with large, dark pupils. Their faces are not regular, but their expressions are very similar: no matter what they say, they always have a pair of round eyes, looking directly at you, and always making people want to look away - after all, for most people, it is always uncomfortable to look at others.

Lin Sanjiu secretly measured it in his heart, and found that the brother was only at her eyebrows - in this way, she, as the only woman, became the tallest person.

The young man's personality seemed to be very introverted, and he shrank a little embarrassedly when he heard this, and then raised his face: "...... Because I've always been interested in Jack the Ripper and read a lot about him, I knew it as soon as I saw it. Are you new here, too? ”

He has a little Cantonese accent, a pair of double eyelids and Danfeng eyes, he looks delicate and elegant, no wonder the old man's description will make Lin Sanjiu suspicious.

"I've been waiting for a long time," said the elder brother impatiently, and at last he took his straight gaze away from the young man; Lin Sanjiu could clearly feel that the latter was obviously relieved - "What kind of jack is that now, has he started killing people?" How to catch him? ”

The young man shook his head hurriedly: "I don't know either...... It's been hundreds of years, and no one knows who Jack the Ripper really is. Even the original London police could not do anything...... It will not be easy to catch him. ”

The younger brother exhaled, looked around with his eyes open, and said to himself, "...... What a quirky 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 that the security of this copy is not as high as the old gatekeeper said. At the very least, I don't think we can use our evolutionary abilities and special items. ”

As she spoke, she had quietly slipped the [Battle Item] into her pants pocket—it now looked like an ordinary piece of clay. Lin Sanjiu originally planned to put it away in a card, but now even the [Flat World] is dumb and no longer responds.

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

-- It is reasonable that these people meet each other and have little trust in each other, and they are unwilling to say "my ability is really invalid."

After a few discussions, they decided to walk down the street first to see if they found anything. None of the roles they were assigned were important, they were just members of the slums of London's East End - and after a while, the brothers were "recognized": they were the owners of a nearby tavern; They were recognized by a staggering, half-drunk Eastern European immigrant who kept asking "if it's time to open for business?"

The early morning was still a pale blue skylight, and it was even darker in the rain and white fog. Although the young man had read a lot about Jack the Ripper, it was apparently the first time he had come to London; After walking several times, the group found the famous Whitechapel in the East End, where the first victim of Jack the Ripper, a middle-aged prostitute who had been stabbed thirty-nine times, was found.

In the continuous rain, the alley seemed even darker. In 19th-century London, the air was perpetuated with the pungent smell of sulphurous smoke, and even the rain could not wash away the deep and shallow haze in front of you. In this hazy alley, which seemed unreal, several people walked forward in silence and aimlessly for a while, until suddenly the sound of "cluck" and "cluck" heels sounded from around the corner.

A few people were stunned for a moment, just in time to see a young woman coming out of the rain and mist—she wrapped a hairball scarf around her shoulders tightly, and hurried around the corner; As soon as she found someone in front of her, she seemed to be taken aback, and cautiously grabbed the corner of her skirt and took a few steps back, but when she raised her eyes and saw Lin Sanjiu, she seemed to be relieved.

"Carlo," she cried, one eye covered in black blue, and the corners of her mouth swollen and bloodshot from someone's blows. She smelled of cheap and pungent powder, and the makeup on her face was already faint - judging by the woman's clothing, her profession was almost self-evident.

She approached Lin Sanjiu in a few steps, 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, and they were a little crying and laughing--they didn't expect that the role assigned to them in this game was actually a prostitute.

She didn't know how to respond, and only let out a vague "ah".

"Be careful," said the young prostitute, whose voice suddenly became hoarse, and covered the corners of her dark eyes with her hands: "...... That murderer has already killed two people around here, so it's better to go home sooner! ”

Several evolutionaries couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this.

"You two still have a place to live," the young prostitute smiled bitterly, "I thought that gentleman from yesterday would give me a place to stay temporarily, but I didn't expect it...... Forget it, I'll go to the docks for a walk, maybe some business. ”

With that, without waiting for a few people to respond, she turned away again with hurried steps—her inferior high-heeled shoes no longer sounded a neat "pop" from close quarters, but with a slight sound of leather turning open and slapping again.

Seeing her walk away, the young man withdrew his gaze. He whispered to a few people, "What are we going to do now?" It turns out that Jack the Ripper has already killed two people. ”

"Are they all prostitutes?" Lin Sanjiu frowned and asked, "How many people did he kill in total?" ”

“…… Five, all prostitutes. The young man replied softly. They were all killed in a row over several months, and they didn't last long. ”

"Then even if we don't do anything, I guess this game won't last long." The older brother of the two brothers said, "I don't have any interest in catching the murderer, so let's find a place to live in the game, and then wait for the game to end." What do you think? ”

Without waiting for Lin Sanjiu to speak, the young man immediately blushed - "Okay, finally there is 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 go together," she thought for a moment, and persuaded the young man, "When you have a place to stay, it's not too late for you to go out and inquire." ”

The young man bowed his head and agreed.

It was not difficult to say that it was not easy to say that it was not easy to say that it was not easy to say that it was the young man who came up with the idea of having the two brothers pretend to be drunk, and when they saw people, he asked where his home was.

It seems that the tavernkeeper is not having a good time either. This cheap rented house mingled with the quarters of a few old coachmen and shoemakers, and the hedged yard behind was filled with the smell of horses' feces and leather, which permeated the house even when the windows were closed.

After the four of them sat down in the dark and cramped living room, Lin Sanjiu finally took a breath. There was a heavy, damp, musty smell in the room, as if it hadn't been inhabited in a while—she looked up at the others, and saw that the brothers were clearly just like her, and they didn't know what to do next. Only the young man, whose cheeks were flushed and whose eyes were shining, seemed to be unable to suppress the excitement of seeing Jack the Ripper with his own eyes.

"Why are you so interested in this murderer?" My brother's body was sunk in a single sofa, and in the dimly lit room, it seemed that only his straight eyes could be seen.

The young man flinched and replied, "...... Jack the Ripper is famous. Movies, Songs, Novels...... There's him in everything......"

"Since you're here, tell us a little bit more about Jack." The younger brother sat on the couch in an almost identical posture and asked the young man.

This sentence was in the hands of the young man, who had evidently studied Jack the Ripper well, and when he heard this, he changed his fearful countenance and recounted the case in its original form, in detail; Even many of the details are very clear, and sometimes even different sources can be said.

"In the past, if I said this, people would think that I was a pervert," and at the end, the young man seemed to notice his excitement, and lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "But there are many people who are interested in serial killers, and I am nothing...... I've also heard that there are many serial killers who have been arrested and imprisoned, and many admirers have corresponded with them and even married them while in prison......"

Lin Sanjiu has also heard of this.

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

When a few people saw it, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Time in the game obviously flies faster than in reality; The young man had only told the case once, and the sky outside the window had already turned from early morning to night—and under the dim light of the gas lamps, prostitutes, hooligans, and drunkards gradually increased. Women of all ages and shapes stood in groups on the side of the street, huddled and shivering in the cold night, waiting for the arrival of guests.

"If you're going to find the murderer, go ahead," the brother smiled at the young man, pointing to the shadow hidden outside the window under the streetlamp. "We can both stay with you—"

He had barely finished his sentence when he was cut off by a sudden knock at the door. Several people glanced at each other, Lin Sanjiu was closest to the door, and then got up and opened the door—as soon as the door opened, the woman outside was stunned.

"Caro? Didn't Mr. Dalton call me over? She wiped her crimson lips and painted a snow-white face, but she couldn't hide her loose skin and tired wrinkles. She raised her voice, and the voice of questioning shook Lin Sanjiu's ears: "Why are you here?" Did you steal my business? ”

As soon as she made such a noise, the neighbor's door was pushed open - and an elderly man poked his head out and grinned at her, "...... Annie, Mr. Dalton is so much younger than you, I'm afraid he has little interest in you. Otherwise, you're going to come up to me—"

"Phew, you have to be rich!" The prostitute named Anne took a sip of the truth, and a mouthful of white phlegm was rubbing the tip of Lin Sanjiu's shoes.

Dalton seems to be the names of the brothers in the game - Lin Sanjiu was so troubled by her quarrel that she was about to ask the brothers to send her away, but she didn't think about it, and first met a pair of eyes that were shiny due to excitement and nervousness.

"Annie?" The young man repeated in a trembling voice, "Anne Chapman?" ”

The old-looking prostitute turned her head and looked puzzled: "...... Do? ”

Lin Sanjiu and the eyes of the two brothers were all on the young man at this time. He glanced back, and lowered his voice so softly that he almost only had the shape of his mouth left: "-She is the third victim." (To be continued.) )
