Chapter 15: What Showdown? Don't talk like you're a junior
Jack the Ripper has been contained, although the entire possession incident has not completely ended, and there are still relatively harmless possessed people such as Du Weiyan or the Count of Monte Cristo, but at least the murders that have been making trouble on the surface have temporarily subsided, and after the murderer and Jack the Ripper in New Orleans, there is no new possessed murderer. Du Weiyan did not continue to maintain contact with Xu Xiaoming after Jack was contained, and the great detective Sherlock, who had lost his opponent, seemed to be waiting for the next incident to break out, and really hoped that he would be of some use next time. Feng Linwan did not return to school with Xu Xiaoming after that night, but left alone, and the school also asked the counselor for a few days of personal leave, and she didn't know what to do.
And the system has not released any more tasks to do things in the past few days, and Xu Xiaoming has not taken the initiative to look for any abnormal events, and one person and one system have been safe for several days, allowing him to return to normal college life.
Compared with the leisurely study life, the operation of capturing the killer that night was like a world away, and only the two newly obtained containment items reminded Xu Xiaoming that the events of that night were true!
[Containment CODE001-3 unlocked, Ripper's Blade. 】
[Description: A sharp blade that can be used as a scalpel, which can easily cut the throat, disembowel, and disembowel. But for some reason, the person holding it always has a weird smile on his face, hoping that the person who operated on it will wear a mask. 】
[Summoning?] Yes/No. 】
[Containment CODE003 unlocked, for whom the death knell tolls. 】
[Description: A revolver, I don't know if you're lucky enough to be able to get one-sixth of the favor of the Russian turntable.] 】
[Summoning?] Yes/No. 】
What a bona fide harvest! Before containing Jack the Ripper, Xu Xiaoming had a total of two containment items, and in just one night, his containment inventory had doubled! And compared to the axe used to pick locks that can't cut people at all, and the funny dahlia that can be used to make people turn themselves in, the two containment items obtained this time look very high!
For whom the Ripper's Blade and the Death Knell are called, you can see the name, it sounds strong!
This time, Xu Xiaoming did not hesitate, and tried to summon the two containment items the day after he got them. The Ripper's Blade is naturally the dagger that Jack the Ripper has been using, as it describes, this dagger is extremely sharp, and it is much better for cutting fruit than Xu Xiaoming's fruit knife. At the same time, it also inherited the supernatural ability of Jack the Ripper to cover up his traces, which can be said to be the best containment object in Xu Xiaoming's hands.
And for whom the death knell is a bullet with a cross carved into the silver cartridge casing. Xu Xiaoming is not a military fan, so he can't tell the model of this bullet, but no matter what the model, he can't use it - because he doesn't have any gun!
"I have to find a way to get a revolver to try who this death knell is for, I don't know if Feng Linwan can get a revolver......" Xu Xiaoming muttered, "After all, the organization of the research institute sounds like it will be involved in the arms deal......"
"What are you talking about, Xiao Ming?"
"No, it's nothing...... Xu Xiaoming was stunned, and subconsciously said, "Oh, it's Ye Xiu." ”
"yes, it's me." He Yexiu smiled and waved at him, and then asked curiously, "What are you muttering?" ”
"It's just talking to yourself, nothing important." Although the girl in front of him is also an insider who knows about the anomaly (and she is a boss whose combat power far surpasses that of Sherlock Holmes, and can be called a freak by the Flame Witch Feng Linwan), Xu Xiaoming is still not very easy to communicate with, whether it is the intelligence of the possessed person or the matter of the anomalous containment system, the latter is related to his own secrets, and the former involves cooperation with the members of the research institute, which is not what can be said to He Yexiu, "Speaking of which, is Feng Linwan back?" ”
"Xiaowan didn't come back, I guess something happened at home." Referring to this, He Yexiu suddenly narrowed her eyes, leaned her face up and asked, "Speaking of which, Xiao Ming, you have been very close to Xiao Wan recently, what's the matter, you have fallen in love with Xiao Wan?" If you really like Xiaowan, I can help you cover up! ”
Xiao Ming: "? ”
"Oh!" I don't know if it was because of Xu Xiaoming's silence (although he was completely speechless that he couldn't speak) that He Yexiu confirmed her judgment, she clasped her hands together and suddenly said: "It turns out that you have been trapping me almost to get close to Xiaowan before!" I thought you liked me, no wonder I ran out to send me a card that day, it turned out that I was self-inflicted! ”
Xu Xiaoming: "??? ”
- Little old girl, what's the matter with you?!
Xu Xiaoming looked at He Yexiu in front of him, who had finally sorted out his thoughts, and said angrily: "I don't like her, it's just ......"
"Who don't you like?"
A voice with no change in tone sounded from behind him, Xu Xiaoming subconsciously turned his head, and before he could see whether the face in front of him was delicate and expressionless, he heard He Yexiu beside him cheering: "Xiaowan! ”
Xu Xiaoming didn't know why his heart was weak, but he immediately remembered that he really didn't like Feng Linwan, patted his head, and said casually: "You, who else can it be." You're back, huh? ”
"I'm back." Feng Linwan nodded, then glanced at He Yexiu, turned around and reached out to pat Xu Xiaoming's shoulder, and said expressionlessly: "Cub, you finally know about the arch cabbage, Grandma is very pleased." ”
The corners of Xu Xiaoming's mouth twitched slightly, looked at He Yexiu, who was muttering "That's what cabbage means", and glared at Feng Linwan fiercely: "Are you enough......"
Feng Linwan shrugged her shoulders undeniably, then pulled He Yexiu and led her to the front of the classroom, signaling that it was almost time for class. But after walking two steps, he suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Xiaoming as if he remembered something, and said lightly: "I finally came back, let's have a meal today, you and I Lao He are three people, some things should indeed be showdown with Lao He." ”
"Huh?" Xu Xiaoming and He Yexiu were stunned at the same time, and then Xu Xiaoming reacted to what the showdown was, leaving He Yexiu alone in a daze, as for Feng Linwan? She looked as if she had said something insignificant, waved her hand and began to think, "Tsk, is there any other house at the school gate that hasn't eaten?" ”
