Chapter Twenty-Five: About Winter
If it doesn't work, don't use it.
Zhou Zhenguo does not force it, nor will he be arrogant and forceful.
Isn't it angry to call young people?
That does not apply to him.
Zhou Zhenguo had a fellow villager, who believed in the evil of "Huaqiang" back then, and then went in.
After the results came out, I saw that his idol back then was actually selling cuteness on variety shows?!
Since then, faith has collapsed.
Talking all day long about "the drama is ruthless, it's all acting" and the like.
Zhou Zhenguo would not be so stupid.
At night, everyone sat in the lobby of the hotel.
The boss sat behind the counter, glancing at Zhou Zhenguo and them from time to time, with a somewhat tangled expression on his face.
John Sr. is missing......
The boss didn't know if it had something to do with these out-of-town detectives.
I was still a little scared in my heart.
But when Jack the Ripper slaughters the entire manor, the town gradually slides to the brink of collapse.
The presence of these detectives can bring a little security to his hotel.
In the afternoon, a nearby shop was looted.
Damn gangsters!
"Aren't gentlemen going to rest?"
The boss asked as he brought over a few glasses of wine and placed them on the table.
"No, no." Zhou Zhenguo said, "It's not been peaceful lately, we will be here at night, boss, you can go and rest, just let us help you look at the store." ”
"How embarrassing is this......
The boss laughed and walked to the back kitchen.
After about half an hour, he came back with some food: "This is what I invited you." ”
Tang Luo and the others were not polite, and ate directly.
Whether or not to encounter Jack the Ripper at night is unknown.
It is still necessary to fill your stomach.
"Hey, why do you feel colder?"
After eating the food sent by the boss and sitting for another hour, Li Liang couldn't help but stand up and stomped his feet hard.
"Are you empty?"
Chu Chongtian said.
"Don't mention it, I've been very empty since the first night." Li Liang said that the real salted fish dares to face the bleak life and the body with kidney deficiency, "but it is not so empty." ”
"It's a little cold, indeed."
Zhou Zhenguo said, his face suddenly solemn, "It can't be a ripper, right?" ”
The cold and biting, numbing and stiff yin and cold breath, he still remembered very clearly.
Several people reached out at once and grabbed the pistol hidden in their clothes.
"Gentlemen, why don't I close the door now, it's so cold." The boss also noticed the inexplicable drop in temperature, "There shouldn't be any danger in locking the door, and you don't have to guard it." ”
So saying, he walked over to the door of the inn, which was hidden with only a crack, and was about to lock it.
Instinctively push open the door before locking it, longing for a look.
The boss let out a sharp exclamation.
"Huh!"
Zhou Zhenguo and Chu Chongtian pulled out their guns at the same time!
Li Liang dodged behind before pulling out the revolver in his coat.
"It's snowing."
The boss didn't realize that his actions had caused the three of them to overreact.
He spoke, walked out the door, looked up into the sky, and stretched out his hand.
A few snowflakes fell into the hand.
I don't know when a goose feather snow has fallen outside.
The ground is covered with a thin layer of snow.
But not white snow, but gray snow.
It is extremely inconspicuous in the dark.
"Why is it snowing?"
Zhou Zhenguo was a little puzzled.
The season here is winter, and the weather does not cool down to the point of snow.
Besides, in the afternoon, no, it should be said that it was fine an hour ago.
Sudden drop to snow?
Obviously not normal!
He stood up, walked to the door, and looked around, and there was indeed gray goose feather snow outside.
It gives a very uncomfortable dirty feeling.
Reaching out to pick it up, the cold snowflakes fell in the palm of his hand and quickly melted.
"Boss, don't look at it, this snow is not clean." Zhou Zhenguo said a word and was ready to retreat.
The boss turned his head slightly, smiled at Zhou Zhenguo and said, "Okay, I'm just-"
The light inside the door cast a strange feeling on half of the boss's face.
Zhou Zhenguo's eyes widened suddenly.
He saw the boss's weird smile, and he also saw the extra dagger in the boss's hand!
At this moment, Zhou Zhenguo's spirit was unprecedentedly concentrated.
"Imprisoned!"
Almost instinctively, he roared and held out his hand to his boss.
The sound of chains clashing sounded.
The illusory black chains emerge from the ground, spin around the boss, and "burrow" into the ground again.
The boss's turning motion stopped abruptly in mid-air.
The whole person kept the lower body facing the outside, and the upper body facing Zhou Zhenguo, almost twisting the weird posture of 180 degrees.
His right hand was clinging to his side.
The left hand is raised and pressed against the chest.
The dagger above was attached to the edge of his neck.
It was his assassination action interrupted by chains.
Imprisoning the boss, no, it should be said after Jack the Ripper.
Zhou Zhenguo did not hesitate or delay.
His right hand was clenched into a fist, and it glowed with white light, which looked a little dazzling.
It's like pinching a glowing light bulb.
A powerful blow!
Zhou Zhenguo used his only attack skill.
The power gathered on the right fist, and the white light of the right fist slammed into the forehead of the boss possessed by Jack the Ripper.
The sound of a shattered skull and a broken neck sounded at the same time.
The sheer force made Jack the Ripper almost fly.
And the chains of imprisonment are not so easy to break free.
There was a rattle.
Jack the Ripper's possessed boss's head "disappeared" from Zhou Zhenguo's sight.
The back of the head is completely attached to the back, and only a little bit of flesh is left to connect it.
After a punch was thrown, Zhou Zhenguo took two steps back sharply, stretched out his hand and pressed on the door, not letting himself fall.
The other hand was raised with difficulty, and he even had to mend the knife, no, it was a mending gun.
"No, I've escaped."
Tang Luo's voice sounded from his side, and he pressed the gun raised by Zhou Zhenguo.
Zhou Zhenguo stepped back, leaning completely against the door, gasping for breath.
He really only had the power of one blow.
The innkeeper who is still "standing" under the chains of confinement.
The dagger he had held in his hand was gone.
The whole person is also lifeless.
A pinprick headache struck, and Zhou Zhenguo felt for the first time that the confinement chains could no longer be maintained, and took the initiative to lift them.
The corpse slammed to the ground, still with an eerie smile on its face.
Fortunately, it was night and it was snowing heavily.
The fear brought by Jack the Ripper almost turned the streets of the night into a graveyard.
No passers-by saw this scene at all.
"That's not going to work."
Zhou Zhenguo said, "Jack the Ripper is constantly possessed, and he will exhaust us to death when he is tired." ”
Whether or not to judge whether the ripper Jack is possessed, there is now a clear distinction.
That's the rusty dagger.
When Zhou Zhenguo saw it, the boss was holding a dagger in his hand.
And the moment before the fist was in front of him, the dagger disappeared.
Jack the Ripper has also left the body.
To be honest, that's not a good idea.
Because it means the possession of Jack the Ripper.
It seems that there is no need to prepare in advance, and there is no need for the possessed person to come into contact with anything special.
It can be said that there is no limit, and it only takes a moment to leave.
Just keep possessing others.
Even if they can't do any effective harm to Tang Luo, they can still fall into a serious crisis.
The crisis doesn't just come from Jack the Ripper's attack.
It also comes from Tang Luo, who is in self-preservation, and the trouble caused by killing the possessed person.
At the moment of life and death, no one will think about keeping their hands.
A few more times, Tang Luo and their side will definitely be targeted by the Grand Field.
Fortunately, Jack the Ripper's possession, so far, has only been at night.
And, it seems, only one person can be possessed at the same time?
It depends on whether there will be a second one at night to determine where the upper limit of his ability is.
"At least, we have a way of judging, and the one with a dagger in his hand is Jack the Ripper."
After listening to Zhou Zhenguo's description, Chu Chongtian said.
After disposing of the boss's body, the group returned to the inn lobby.
Everyone lit the fireplace and dispelled the chill a little.
"It depends on whether someone will attack us tonight, if not, then it can be judged that the Ripper can only possess once a night, or only one person?"
Zhou Zhenguo said.
"Wait, that's not right."
Chu Chongtian remembered something, "Hodge on the first night! And Old John, which should be two people. ”
"Are you sure that Hodge is possessed by a ripper?" Zhou Zhenguo asked.
"That's right, Master, what do you think?" Chu Chongtian looked at Tang Luo.
To be honest, he never really "face-to-face" with Hodge from beginning to end.
At first, it was a remark, and then Hodge sneaked up from behind.
By the time Chu Chongtian turned around, Hodge was already a headless corpse.
"Mostly Jack the Ripper. Ordinary people can't avoid the cane thrown by the poor monk. Tang Luo said.
"So now we can conclude that Jack the Ripper has the ability to possess. The 'possessed person' who was possessed by him was far superior to ordinary people, and at the same time had a strange aura that could be suppressed, making people unable to move. ”
Chu Chongtian concluded, "You can only possess others at night, and you can't possess two people at the same time - this is doubtful, you can change the possession object at least once on the same night." Hodge, Old John, and later Xiao Zhou's disappearance, can be confirmed. ”
"The possession conditions are unknown, the restrictions should be small, and the feature is a dagger that disappears."
"The real body is unknown, there is no clue at all, our last hole card and reliance is Master Xuanzang."
"I hope I didn't make a mistake this time."
Li Liang asked: "Regarding his true body, do we really have no clue at all, so we can only wait passively?" I remember that Glen Field didn't give us a list. ”
"It's useless." Chu Chongtian said, "Jack the Ripper can possess and kill, and all the clues are meaningless. ”
You are not a super detective, how can you catch a murderer who can be possessed?
"Wait, that dagger, it's a clue." Zhou Zhenguo remembered the dagger that almost killed him.
Because at the door, the light shone on the dagger, and Zhou Zhenguo could see the mottled rust on it.
The appearance of the dagger was also engraved in Zhou Zhenguo's mind.
Perhaps the Ripper himself can be found through that dagger.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a sound of slamming the door.
"Boss, open the door! We want accommodation! ”
A man's shouts were heard outside the door, interrupting the conversation.
