42 The Ripper Returns
Frankenstein's transformation was much faster than Zhang Luo imagined.
The scene of the brutal operation he expected did not appear, Frankenstein only cut his tiger mouth slightly, implanted a tiny plastic chip in it, and then immediately sutured the wound and disinfected it, then took off the mask on his little face, and nodded, "Okay." β
"It's as simple as that?" Zhang Luo tried to move his right hand. I have to say that Frankenstein's surgical skills are really superb, except for the dull pain in the wound, the movement of his fingers has not been affected in any way.
"Press and hold the base of your right thumb." The girl in white gave the order.
After doing as she said, Zhang Luo immediately found that his right hand had "disappeared". But he didn't feel any pain, and he was clearly entering another dimension.
"The door will last for a minute, and it will close automatically if you take out your hand within a minute, so don't waste too much time in the door. Otherwise your hand will be cut off like a cucumber. Frankenstein sent an introduction from the eye of the executioner.
"I see." Zhang Luo nodded.
After tentatively groping in that space for a while, but did not touch anything, Zhang Luo suddenly withdrew his hand, and the miniature space door just now disappeared immediately.
Seeing that he had completed his first attempt, Frankenstein nodded in satisfaction and sent another message:
"You can confirm the situation in the storage space in the eyes of the executioner, and as for the location of the storage space, I will take you there."
After speaking, she turned around and walked towards the wall on the right, and Zhang Luo also followed quickly.
Watching Frankenstein open the black metal door, Zhang Luo walked into another room next to him and looked around curiously. It was the first time he had been outside of the Strange Tales Research Society's base arsenal.
What greeted me was a large empty room, facing the door not an ordinary wall, but a heavy bulletproof glass, behind which the outline of a room resembling a "dojo" could be seen.
"That's the training ground, and the warehouse is over here."
Frankenstein said and walked to the right-hand side, stood in front of a row of metal boxes fixed to the wall that looked like small refrigerators, pointed to the box on the far right, and looked back at Zhang Luo: "This is yours." β
"Can you put a big weapon in such a small place?" Zhang Luo was deeply skeptical about the size of this storage space.
Perceiving his doubt, Frankenstein closed his eyes and typed out a message:
"Space is connected to another world, and the Hermes is currently in my private storage box, is there any problem?"
"Okay, no problem." Zhang Luo smiled.
It seems that the space of this storage box is much larger than I imagined. Presumably, this chest is just like the "Stability Portal" at the entrance to the base, just a passage to connect to another dimension.
After performing a retinal scan at the identification device above the box, and extracting fingerprints and DNA (in fact, a drop of blood) by the way, Zhang Luo became the only person who could use the storage box.
Finally solving the problem of storage space, he turned his gaze to the training ground next to him and asked, "Is it used for fighting?" β
"Yes." The girl in white replied in the affirmative: "In addition to simulated battles, real training is also necessary. β
Speaking of this, she turned around and stared at Zhang Luo seriously: "Does Zhang Luo need training?" β
"What opponent are you going to fight against? I don't want to fight you. Zhang Luo asked.
"My weakest creature." Frankenstein snapped his fingers, and a large black rectangular box rose up on the crimson ground of the training ground behind bulletproof glass, looking like an upright coffin.
"The weakest?" Zhang Luo stared with interest at the black metal "coffin" behind the glass.
- The bodies of Karemont and Jigsaw, both destroyed by the Silver Knight in Antarctica, are still being repaired. Frankenstein's "weakest creatures" obviously could not have been the two of them.
So, what is the origin of the transformer in the box?
Thinking of this, Zhang Luo's curiosity came up again, and he accepted the invitation to fight:
"Of course, let me see your product."
On his left hand, he wears an "electromagnetic hand" that can control the magnetic field, and with his right hand, he pulls out the sharp fangs of a water monster. Zhang Luo walked into the rectangular arena on the soft ground and turned around to close the heavy glass door.
Before starting the battle, he moved his body joints as usual, and under Zhang Luo's gaze, the pitch-black metal box slowly opened, spewing out a wisp of white mist.
At the same time, in the eyes of the executioner, an "introduction to the monster" appeared, apparently written by Frankenstein:
"In 1888, while travelling in London, I met this unidentified man, who was in the process of murdering a woman with a knife, and after discovering me, tried to kill me. But I repelled him. β
Seeing this introduction, Zhang Luo immediately learned the identity of this opponent, and his eyes suddenly lit up with excitement:
"I went, murdered women in London in 1888...... Isn't this a 'ripper'! β
Even those who are not interested in curiosity and bizarre talk have mostly heard of the glorious name "Jack the Ripper": as the most famous serial murderer in history, this mysterious guy even became synonymous with "serial killer" for a time!
"The enemy you are about to face is a robot that I created based on the data of the battle with the Ripper at the time, as well as the recorded appearance. Since we had only been fighting for less than a minute, he turned and fled, and I didn't get his full stats, so it was only a half-finished product...... Good luck. β
At this time, the black metal box had been fully opened, and a guy in a dark gray trench coat slowly walked out of the smoke screen.
This person was wearing a black cylindrical top hat and a skull mask on his face, revealing a pair of bloodshot blue eyes in the skull's eye sockets, staring at Zhang Luo without blinking.
Strangely, Zhang Luo couldn't tell the person's gender at all.
Generally speaking, unless you are driving something like a mecha that can completely cover your body, no matter how tightly wrapped you are, a person cannot completely hide her gender characteristics. But this "ripper" standing in front of him is indeed a wonderful existence of unknown gender:
ββThe unheaving chest looks like a man, but the body posture is a bit like that of a woman, and the neck is blocked by the collar where the Adam's apple cannot be seen...... All in all, even Zhang Luo can't tell whether this guy is a man or a woman at all!
"Are you sure that's what the Ripper looked like?" Zhang Luo asked in the eyes of the executioner.
"Yes, the combat data is incomplete, but the appearance is completely restored." The girl in white who stood on the other side of the glass and watched the battle sent a response.
"Well, it seems that my wish to see him in his real form has been disappointed again......"
Zhang Luo shook his head, then slightly clenched the sharp blade in his right hand, and pointed the tip of the knife at the opponent's head:
"Come on, murderer!"
Hearing the other party's "declaration of war", the ripper silently stretched out his hands hidden in his sleeves, revealing white gloves and two blood-stained scalpels.
The moment of killing began.
