On the way to the poker club, Bai Guo saw an old gypsy in tatters sitting on the side of the road, playing the melodica in his hand with his head down, and an old dog lying beside him. Even though he knew that he was a fake and just an NPC, Bai Guo still put the remaining Xingyuan in his pocket into the hat in front of him.

As Bai Guo was about to leave, the gypsy man suddenly said, "If you want to see the light, you need to defeat the dagger and the shadow in the darkness." ”

After hearing this, Bai Guo didn't really understand the meaning, and wanted to ask again, but the old gypsy had already lowered his head and was silent.

Fang Zhou looked back at Bai Guo and said, "What's wrong with Bai Guo?" ”

Bai Guo pointed to the old gypsies and said, "After I gave him some, he told me: If you want to see the light, you need to defeat the dagger and the shadow in the darkness." ”

Ark muttered this sentence, and it seemed that it was Baiguo's good deeds that triggered some of the hidden reactions of the old gypsy NPC.

Nanke thought for a while: "This sentence should be: If we want to successfully clear the game, we need to defeat the dagger and shadow in the dark. The dagger in the dark should refer to Jack the Ripper, which is easy to understand. In addition to Jack the Ripper, there is also the shadow here, but what does the shadow refer to? ”

Fang Zhou thought for a while and didn't get an answer: "I'm not clueless, but since he said it, it should come in handy, but it's not clear where it works." And our immediate priority now is to go to Professor Moriarty to find clues to the case of Jack the Ripper. ”

Nanke nodded: "Yes, let's keep walking." ”

......

When the group reached a square in the middle of the journey, they saw several familiar figures, which were the players who entered the game with them.

Since they meet other players again, it is fate, and their purpose is the same, they are all to find out the identity of Jack the Ripper, at this time, they can take this opportunity to exchange information, which is conducive to the progress of the case.

But after the ark joined up with these players, it was found that the four players seemed to be a little uneasy.

Ark asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

One of them, a player named Taylor, tells them what happened.

This time, there were a total of ten players who entered the same game environment, and the three of them, Fang Zhou, Bai Guo and Nan Ke, left in a team first.

Later, the remaining seven players teamed up to investigate the incident, but they didn't get much out of it.

And there are no people who are good at reasoning among them, so the progress of the investigation has been stagnant, and after a blind investigation, the movement is quite large, but there is no real progress.

Later, after a few people discussed, they simply gave up the investigation, anyway, there was an ark and the three of them were investigating the case, so they went around to play, feel the Victorian style, and wait to lie down and win.

In this way, they played for a while, but the accident occurred in four hours, when they were shopping in a team, and when they were halfway through shopping, they found that their original seven, at some point, had become six, and they searched for it but there was no result.

After an hour, another person disappeared and searched again to no avail.

An hour and a half later, a third person disappeared.

When the third person disappeared, Taylor happened to be not far in front of him, and he heard a voice and turned his head to see a terrifying scene: he saw a man in a black cloak grab the player from behind and slit the player's throat with a dagger.

The player was immediately judged dead by the system, failed the game, and automatically quit the game, and the person's in-game corpse disappeared with it.

At that time, they understood the truth about the disappearance of the two before, they were not really missing, but were killed by the man in the black cloak and quit the game.

......

After listening to Taylor's story, the three of them were taken aback, but they knew very well who the black-cloaked man was, not the Jack the Ripper.

But how did Jack the Ripper get his hands on them, and did the players find any important clues? Or is it because their previous investigation with great fanfare alarmed Jack the Ripper, so they were killed.

But whatever the reason? According to Taylor's description, the man in the black cloak should be the Jack the Ripper they had seen earlier.

Jack the Ripper is indeed after them.

......

And this is a good opportunity.

Since Jack the Ripper is chasing them, you can use them as bait to fish Jack the Ripper out.

So the Ark explained the situation to Taylor, who offered to be used as bait to lure Jack the Ripper into action.

It doesn't matter if he is killed and quits the game, he has a request, if he catches Jack the Ripper because of this, he asks for a share of the clearance bonus.

Taylor's request was very reasonable, and they naturally had no reason to refuse.

Afterwards. They pretended to have an argument, and Taylor angrily broke away from the group and came to an alley.

If this scene is seen by Jack the Ripper, he will not let go of this good opportunity for a sneak attack.

And the ark they are secretly observing not far away, as long as Jack the Ripper makes a move, they can capture him.

......

But time passed, and more than two hours passed, but there was still no action from Jack the Ripper, whether Jack the Ripper saw through their plan, or Jack the Ripper stopped the pursuit.

Whatever the case may be, they can't afford to wait any longer, the game is time-limited, and they can't use this to spend time and luck on this kind of thing.

So, the Ark called Taylor back, and then said to the other players, "As it stands, I don't know if Jack the Ripper has given up on hunting you down, or is he secretly waiting for an opportunity to attack?" So now I have two pieces of advice for you, one is to quit the game and avoid getting killed, after all, being killed in the game will not be a good experience. Two. It's about acting with us and reducing the risk of being attacked. ”

After the ark made a suggestion, several of them discussed it. In the end, three of them decided to quit the game. After all, being hunted down by a serial killer, even if it doesn't really die, won't be a good experience.

Taylor, however, did not choose to quit, he said: "Although I am also afraid, the third person who died is my friend, and he was killed in front of me, even if it was a virtual murder, I wanted to do my best to catch him." ”。

......

Just like that, the trio quit the game, and Taylor joins the team.
