Chapter 31: Battle Royale?
“……”
“……”
"Won't there be any special changes after the mission is completed? For example, a white light fell from the sky, the injury healed, to be honest, I am a little hungry, can I become not hungry? ”
Silence lasted up to ten seconds.
Chu Chongtian still had to open his mouth to break it, with a little embarrassment.
"When the time comes, you will know that now is not the time to talk about this." Zhou Zhenguo said, "It seems that the ripper is not this person. ”
"How so? He disappeared and reappeared, and every way matched. Chu Chongtian said, "Could it be that our task also includes the hidden condition of catching him?" Why is the task so vague! ”
He was already a little excited, and he couldn't restrain the anger in his heart.
Zhou Zhenguo is still very calm: "The task has always been relatively large, and it is good to get used to it in the future." ”
"Address, address."
Chu Chongtian lowered his head and found the home address of this Green Bray.
"Let's go, let's go catch him!" Chu Chongtian looked up at Zhou Zhenguo and Tang Luo.
"Calm down."
Zhou Zhenguo said, "I don't think it's necessarily this person. ”
"Why?" Chu Chongtian took a sharp breath.
"It's simple." Zhou Zhenguo said, "Do you think that a person who was arrested for brutal human experiments, and was lucky enough to survive survived, will swagger and reappear in the small town?" ”
"This ......"
Chu Chongtian realized this omission.
If it was him, he was captured in a place for an experiment, and he luckily didn't die.
Even if he chooses to retaliate, he will definitely not appear openly.
Isn't this disgusted that you don't die fast enough?
"The ripper is more likely to be among these people."
Zhou Zhenguo pointed to the dozen or so people who were still missing and said, "Master, what do you think?" ”
Tang Luo shook his head: "Amitabha, the poor monk is not thinking about this. ”
"Huh?"
Zhou Zhenguo and Chu Chongtian were stunned for a moment.
What's going on!
Master, don't give up thinking!
You're the most important combat force - well, it seems that you can give up thinking too.
"The poor monk just waited for the Ripper to appear and kill him. How to act next, the two donors decide, the poor monk will act with you. Tang Luo said.
"It was like the next night."
Chu Chongtian muttered.
What happened the next day.
He used women's clothing as bait to attract Hodge and Jack the Ripper.
The current situation seems to be similar.
A few of them were hanging around.
It's the prey, and it's the hunter at the same time.
Thinking about it this way, they think so much, it doesn't seem to be very useful, right?
No wonder Master Xuanzang stopped thinking directly-no, he was too lazy to think about it.
"Wait a minute."
Chu Chongtian suddenly thought of something, "Jack the Ripper, there should always be a range of possession ability!" It's impossible to cover the whole town, right? ”
"You mean!"
Zhou Zhenguo also thought of something, "Map! ”
The two picked up the materials and walked downstairs together.
In a small city, of course, it is impossible to sell a large number of standard maps.
But as a security department, the detectives have to "go to the police", and the address must be very clear.
Because in the hall downstairs, there is a hand-drawn map of the town.
Let the agents see it when they go in and out, and have an impression.
There will be no shameful things such as getting lost in the process of handling cases.
The map is not very new, presumably several years ago, and not very detailed.
But for Zhou Zhenguo, it was enough.
"Church, Inn, Hodge ......"
Several points where encounters with Jack the Ripper are marked.
This is followed by the addresses of those who have remained missing for several years.
There are also the locations of the cases before the mass killings.
Even the Ripper has been following them since they appeared.
Until then, you can't track it, right?
A person who has returned to his "homeland" and wants to hide himself, no matter what, at least he will wander around his home more, right?
There is also a range of killing.
For Grant Field, this range is too large to be determined.
But with the addition of the address of the missing person, it's different.
"Slums, yes. This kind of place is the best place to hide, one more homeless man, how many people will pay attention? These five people! ”
The two identified five people who were most likely Jack the Ripper.
And their former home addresses.
"To their house?" Chu Chongtian said, "The ripper may not be hiding at home, right? ”
"No, we're looking for evidence." Zhou Zhenguo said.
"Will he leave any conclusive evidence at home?" Chu Chongtian said.
"Perhaps."
Zhou Zhenguo said, "Even if we don't, we will go to those places and destroy them." ”
"Huh?" Chu Chongtian was puzzled.
Now is not the time to vent on the dwellings of these people.
Seeing that Chu Chongtian was confused, Zhou Zhenguo explained: "Ripper, it's right to be staring at us, so ...... What will he do when he sees us destroying his house? ”
"So you can get him out? Wrong. Chu Chongtian's eyes lit up, and then he lowered his voice, "If we destroy that house and are attacked by him, we will prove which house is his, and we can determine who is the ripper." ”
Zhou Zhenguo nodded, and said: "But it is also possible that we have been attacked all the way and cannot tell the difference." ”
"How can you be sure?" Chu Chongtian asked.
"There is no need to be sure, follow the master's idea, and let the ripper take the initiative in front of our eyes." Zhou Zhenguo said, "People are angry, what do you say? ”
As they spoke, the three of them had actually walked out of the Grand Field.
The weather outside was colder than when they came in.
You can see the bursts of white gas coming out as you speak.
Chu Chongtian's glasses were fogged, and then quickly returned to normal.
"We destroyed his home and killed the object of his possession." Zhou Zhen's Chinese tone was resolute, "Lead him to appear and fight to the death." ”
"Isn't it good to be sure who he is?"
"No, I've figured it out now."
Zhou Zhenguo combined his previous experience, "There should be two ways to complete this task. One, in the hidden stage of Jack the Ripper, we find out his true identity, then, the mission is accomplished. ”
"Two, it is the second stage now, which has been delayed until the ripper is so strong that he can cover the sky with one hand. At this time, he may not continue to hide. Well, the way to complete the task is most likely to ask us to kill the Ripper. ”
"The real core of the mission is not static."
"I see." Chu Chongtian suddenly realized, "But if that's the case, wouldn't it be impossible to do it?" ”
This task, the longer it drags on, the stronger the ripper becomes.
In the end, how to fight?
The small town is a Jedi again, and in the end, there is only one way to die.
Or it becomes the "Battle Royale mode", which is chased by the Ripper and escapes for months, half a year or longer.
But in that case, it was actually a mission failure.
"Originally, 'Gou past' was a small probability event." Zhou Zhenguo said, "Not counting this time, I have experienced a total of five missions. ”
He also said openly.
Everyone lives and dies together, and Chu Chongtian is not a vicious villain, so there is no need to hide this information.
"Two successes, two failures, and one that is not a success and is not a failure."
"But that time, it was because there happened to be a strong man like Master Xuanzang who completed the task, so there was no mission failure."
"How many times do you think you can encounter this situation?"
A middle-aged man who has been in the society for many years has a smooth flow of skills without any traces.
Let Chu Chongtian be amazed.
"Indeed, a supreme and strong person like Master Xuanzang must be a rare existence." Chu Chongtian has to learn more.
"Ahem."
Zhou Zhenguo coughed, and accepted it as if he was good, "So, prepare for a vicious battle." ”
"Hmm."
Chu Chongtian nodded and touched his body twice.
It was determined that the weapons, including the bullet pouch, were still there.
"Master, should we gather all the inhabitants of the town and go to Jack the Ripper together, even if it's to trick them!"
Continuing to move forward for a while, Chu Chongtian suddenly said.
All the while, they went it alone.
Now that there is a high probability of a fierce battle, why not use external forces?
To hell with the more effort, the better the reward!
The most important thing is to be able to complete the mission and survive.
"You can try, but the poor monk thinks it's unlikely." Tang Luo said.
"Try it!"
Chu Chongtian ran to the door next to him and slapped wildly, shouting loudly, "Open the door!" We're the detectives hired by Gran Field, and we've found Jack the Ripper! Now come with us to catch him! Documentation is available! You can see! ”
He also took out the documents given by Gran Field, and trembled loudly.
Even the situation of "I don't believe it, you have written evidence" has been taken into account.
His voice drifted through the silent night sky.
After that, there was still silence.
There was no dark window lit up, no footsteps, no shouting, no sound of opening or opening.
None of the reactions that Chu Chongtian expected happened.
No, it should be said, there was no response at all.
Even if it sinks into the sea, it will at least set off a little ripple.
But now, except for the rustle of snowflakes falling on the ground, it was as silent as if it were an empty city with only the three of them.
"Amitabha, there is no need to shout Lord Chu, there should be no one around here."
Tang Luo stopped Chu Chongtian from continuing to shout.
"No one?"
"Master Zhou said that this is a race against the ripper." Tang Luo said, "The poor monk thinks so, the ripper is also running, we are looking for him, he is also killing people, getting stronger and stronger." ”
The implication is that this neighborhood, and even beyond, has become a dead place.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"
Chu Chongtian was far less calm than Tang Luo, and he could still smile after learning that the enemy was getting stronger all the time.
Stepping on the snow, he began to run.
I suddenly felt that this "detective mission" had become a battle royale and survival mission by now.
At least for him, that's it.
