London Chapter 15, The Final Battle (Part II)
Jean Ersor resisted desperately, and Cady Laver pulled tighter and tighter. "I'm sorry, but who let you see me for who I really am?" The resistance slowly changed from fierce to calm until it stood still. She put her hand under Jean Ersor's nose and, after making sure she wasn't breathing, dragged her to a hidden place and hid her.
She picked up the hat on the ground, put it on her head, then picked up the mop and bucket next to her and continued walking. The raindrops slowly became smaller, and after a while, the sun came out. The crowd of people sheltering from the rain gathered together again, and the front of the stage instantly became lively. Robert Donner watched it all through a computer screen.
"It's going to start soon." A sneer appeared on his face. The staff next to him was tapping on the computer screen.
Ten minutes until eleven o'clock.
Qin Kai and the others bought soda and potato chips from nearby, and then approached the stage. A huge LCD screen shows a trailer for the game. "It's going to be started, and before we do that we need to go in and stop him, Robert Downer." β
"Where does the crux of the problem come from?" Tang Wan looked around, and there was no place to enter except for the stage in the middle. Qin Kai came to the wall under the LCD screen, tapped his hand up and down, left and right, and then put his hand in the middle and stopped for a while, a smile appeared on his face.
"Tang Wan, come here, I've found the mechanism." The three of them quickly ran to Qin Kai's side. "The mechanism is here?"
"Look, now is the time to witness the miracle." Qin Kai pushed his hand in, and the wall actually separated to both sides, revealing a passage, which was extremely dark.
"There really is a secret passage, it won't lead inside, right?"
"Let's get inside." Qin Kai took out four flashlights and gave one to each of the three of them.
"Let's go." Qin Kai was the first to walk in, and then Tang Wan and the others entered in turn. Unscrew the flashlight, and four beams of light illuminate the front. The wall behind him closed automatically. The four of them walked forward until they came to a fan with leaves spinning above it and a pipe beside it.
"It looks like we'll have to climb the pipes."
"Why do you think Robert Donner is going out of his way to dig a passage? You can enter and exit through the main entrance. β
"It's more like an emergency escape, it's all reinforced. Specifically, you have to go inside to see the situation. β
Qin Kai and the four of them entered the pipeline and walked forward crawling. They stopped in front of a spot because they had reached the end of it. He looked down and happened to see Robert Donner communicating with the mayor, Qin Kai glanced at the time displayed on his mobile phone, which read: 10:55 minutes, there are still five minutes.
"In five minutes, the game will begin." When Qin Kai saw the glasses in the mayor's hand, he said
"No, he has to be stopped."
"What's wrong?"
"There was a miniature bomb on that pair of glasses, and he had to die if he won in the virtual world or not! That's why Robert Donner built a secret passage to facilitate escape. β
"So what now?"
"Now it's just a matter of going out and debunking it all." The four of them said all this in unison. Robert Donner explains to Maivin Ingres how to use glasses.
"Lord Mayor, you can't wear these glasses, once you die in that world, then you can't come back, you can't go back to the real world."
"What? Who are you? β
"My name is Qin Kai, and they are: Tang Wan, Julie Weiya, and Hong Yuqi."
"These glasses are safe, is there something wrong?" Robert looked at Qin Kai and said.
"In the upper left corner of this pair of glasses, a miniature explosive is installed here."
"It's just a clasp that glows, how can it be explosives? But how did you get in? At that moment, Qin Kai and the others told Robert Donner how to get in.
"Awesome, I can even guess where that passage is. Mr. Qin Kai is so powerful! β
"Mr. Robert Donner, you're Jack the Ripper. His heirs. Robert Donner smiled with a cold sweat on his face.
"How could I be his heir?"
"This picture says it all." Qin Kai took out the photo and handed it to him. Robert subconsciously clenched his fists. "He's taught you a lot of things, and you killed the previous series of murders."
"I didn't expect it to be discovered."
"So, you really are?" Robert took off his left glove and pulled the sharp dagger from the tableβNightmare.
"Boy, how do you know I killed them?"
"The way you hold the knife is exactly the same as when you killed someone. And the white cloak you're wearing was taken from the museum. After you killed someone at the docks, you made the killing process into a game, so the details of the game are so realistic. I thought it was Michael Gambon pretending to be Jack the Ripper to kill someone, but it was you! β
"Now that I let you know, will I still live to let you escape from here?"
Mayor Maiwen Ingrell dropped his glasses: "Looks like I'm going to have to get the police to arrest you!" β
"They don't have this chance, I've already sent Caddy Laver to the police station, as soon as she has news there, then I can activate the micro explosives on your glasses immediately, who knows that the four of you have come in and disrupt all my deployments. Damn, none of you want to get out of here alive today. β
A staff member ran in from outside and said in a panic, "Oh no, Mr. Robert, please hurry up and let the mayor play the game, it's eleven o'clock and the crowd outside is starting to shout." Robert waved his hand and told him to step down.
"Mayor, you have two choices, either you just enter the game or you will be killed by me! Take your pick. β
"What if I insist on leaving?"
Robert licked the tip of the knife, "Then I'll have to kill you." He turned back to the four of us, "As for you, come with him for the funeral!" β
"Why don't we die here? Jack the Ripper, your story is over! Robert quickly drew his knife and ran towards us. Qin Kai came to a wall with a katana hanging on it. Without saying a word, he immediately drew his knife to block his attack.
"Tang Wan, quickly walk out of the passage where we just came in, go and tell them, let them come over to support." A drop of blood fell to the ground, and Qin Kai was slashed on the wrist.
"Okay, I'll get out right away."
"You guys also go, and take the mayor with you by the way. I'll leave it to me. β
"Can you handle him?"
"No problem, I've been to Japan before and learned kendo." Robert saw them leaving, but was about to rush forward when he was stopped by a sharp katana.
"Your opponent is me."
