When the group returned to Holmes's apartment, the first thing they did was take a shower and change into clean clothes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 During the info period, Lin Xi also woke up, but the first thing she did after waking up was to take out the big sword and chop the person closest to her - yes, that's right, it was Gu Ran. The second thing was that Gu didn't cut it, and then he put his sword horizontally and was about to wipe his neck, but he was stopped by Gu Ran and others.

Of course, Gu Ran knew that Lin Xi had experienced the previous incident, and her spirit was on the verge of collapse, so she could say that she would eliminate the psychological shadow, and she chattered with her like a god stick for a long time before she slightly accepted the matter of "I didn't drown in the indescribable".

After changing into clean clothes, everyone sat comfortably on the sofa on the second floor of the apartment and began to discuss what to do next. Although he failed to catch Jack the Ripper this time, he accidentally obtained a soul crystal, which was an inadvertent completion of the mission. However, Lin Xi, who had this soul crystal, did not abandon Gu Ran's intention of only letting himself pass. So the two of them have to continue along the line of Jack the Ripper until they get the second Soul Crystal.

"I have a question about the Ripper...... Gu Ran was lying on the back of the sofa at the moment, and said: "We were guided by him to enter the Shadow London, but there were almost no clues from him, and we were just crusading against demons that had nothing to do with it along the way." So, what was his purpose in introducing us to Shadow London?"

"Do you still need to think about this, naturally you want to get rid of us by the hands of the demons in the shadow of London!" Lin Xi lay on the sofa, happily peeling the chestnuts he had just bought from Pooh's chestnut shop, and said to Gu Ran with a disdainful face: "I really don't understand what you have in your head besides perverted things!"

“...... I don't know what else you have in your head besides chestnuts!" Gu Ran replied with a backlash.

At present, they don't know much about the Ripper, and they don't even know what it looks like until now. At most, Gu Ran could infer that this guy's personality was quite arrogant and paranoid, but it was very similar to Sherlock Holmes. The strength should not be stronger than the Fire Bird Demon they encountered before, otherwise there would be no need to go to such great lengths to trap them.

Holmes speculated that his aim was to destroy both the magical matrix defending London and the barrier of Shadow London, causing London and Shadow London to overlap with unpredictable consequences.

So at the end of the day, the most important thing now is to guard the target node under the Ripper and wait quietly for him to arrive.

After the discussion, Gu Ran and Lin Xi left the apartment...... Then sit in front of Pooh's chestnut shop.

"Are you sure you don't taste a little?" Lin Xi looked at Gu Ran, who was sitting on the side with a sad brow, and held up a shelled chestnut.

"Don't just eat all day long and don't use your brain, don't you have any sugar in your brain?" Gu Ran lowered his head and said, "I always feel that there are many things wrong in this preliminaries......"

"Oh, what's wrong?" Lin Xi asked with interest.

"Think about it, since it's a preliminary round, it must be passed by most people whose strength is above the level, and the difficulty of crusading against demons should be relatively low, after all, the contestants are all newcomers who have been in the industry for no more than three years. Gu Ran analyzed a wave of self-care: "But you see, take that fire bird as a comparison, it looks like it's just a small role in Shadow London, it can beat most of the contestants all over the ground to find teeth, and we haven't seen it even if it's stronger, it's not reasonable for a rookie to set such a high ceiling on force value in the preliminaries." ”

"Or maybe our luck is too bad and we come across a hidden dungeon, and the strength of the boss inside is far beyond our level. Lin Xi said: "This possibility is quite big, isn't it?"

"Then the question is, what channel did the other contestants use to defeat the weaker demons? Ten days, it is not easy to obtain information about demons in this unfamiliar place. Gu Ran frowned and said: "I also made a special inquiry, except for the incident of the Oriental people collectively robbing passers-by at the beginning, there is no other news similar to the contestants." Do you think that according to your kind of urine, you don't have to bang a few houses and say that you are crusading against demons? But so far I have not heard of any major incidents in London about the destruction of houses and casualties, and there is hardly any big news made by the Orientals other than the two of us who have been involved in the fight against more than a hundred gangs, do you think this is reasonable?"

"'There are only two possibilities, the contestants cheat collectively to get the Soul Crystal, or they all die' - do you want to say that?" Lin Xi said lightly.

Gu Ran nodded, suddenly! Lin Xi suddenly stuffed the chestnut in his hand into Gu Ran's mouth, and before Gu Ran, who was caught off guard, could react, he choked several times.

"What are you doing!" Gu Ran coughed and complained.

"What is there to think of. Lin Xi picked up the guitar case with full of vitality, stood up, and showed a bright smile: "You analyze so much, it's better to kill a demon as soon as possible to pass the level!"

"......" Gu Ran looked at Lin Xi, who was full of vitality, speechless for a while, it seemed that this girl's points were all on the strength value and food.

But...... Lin Xi's words also made him feel a trace of warmth, and sure enough, hot-blooded fools naturally have attributes that can make people feel better.

"That's what I said......" The corners of Gu Ran's mouth rose slightly, and he slowly stood up with his hands on his knees.

Lin Xi is right, anyway, ordinary people like him can't analyze the reason no matter how much they analyze, so they just don't want to do this, and pass the preliminaries as soon as possible.

At this moment, the proprietress of Pooh's chestnut shop came over with a large pot of fried chestnuts and said to Gu Ran and the others: "Thank you for taking care of the business these days, the shop has specially made a snack, if you like to eat it, please invite it." ”

"Wow! Pooh's chestnut shop is indeed the No. 1 chestnut shop in London! Thank you, hostess!" Lin Xi took the chestnuts from her hand and said happily.

"It's not really a big deal, the Orientals who have been looking for Mr. Sherlock lately have made Baker Street a lot of prosperity, and the small shop has made a small profit, so it is also appropriate to give back to the customers with a little heart. The proprietress said as she wiped her hands with her apron.

"I see, but I still have to thank ......"

Wait a minute!

Gu Ran reacted suddenly, and he hurriedly asked the proprietress: "Boss, you just said that the Orientals looking for Sherlock Holmes have made the streets prosperous a lot, does that mean that not only the two of us, but also other Orientals have looked for him?"

"Yes, eh, haven't you seen it?" the proprietress was surprised by him: "Probably three or four days ago, there were more fresh faces on Baker Street, most of them were Orientals, and they often bought things in the nearby shops, and asked about Mr. Sherlock by the way, probably trying to get Mr. Sherlock to solve the trouble." But strangely enough, these men haven't been out since they entered Mr. Holmes's apartment......"

The proprietress was still chattering there, but Gu Ran was already standing there, and a trace of cold sweat was oozing from her back.
