Chapter 539

As the words rang out, Lin Sanjiu and the other two brothers cast their eyes on the young man.

The gas streetlights on the street went out one by one. The young man bowed his head and his face became more and more ambiguous. He is not tall, wearing an old cowboy jacket - the shoulders of the old cowboy jacket are high and wide, hanging empty on his thin body.

"How do you know that this is 19th century London?" One of the potato brothers asked.

Both brothers have round eyes with big black pupils. Their faces are irregular, but their expressions are very similar: no matter what they say, they always stare at you with round eyes, and they always make people want to look away - after all, for most people, it is always uncomfortable to look at others with four eyes.

Lin Sanjiu secretly measured in his heart and found that the brother only came to her eyebrows - in this way, as the only woman, she became the tallest person.

The young man seemed to be very introverted, and when he heard the speech, he shrank a little embarrassed, and then raised his face: "... Because I have always been very interested in Jack the Ripper, and I have read a lot of information about him, so I know as soon as I see it. Are you new here?"

He has a little Cantonese accent and double eyelid Danfeng eyes. He looks beautiful and elegant. No wonder the old man's description will make Lin Sanjiu suspicious.

"I've been waiting for a long time," said the brother impatiently, and finally removed his straight eyes from the young man; Lin Sanjiu could clearly feel that the latter was obviously relieved - "now what Jack, has he started killing? How to catch him?"

The young man shook his head hurriedly: "I don't know... For hundreds of years, no one knows who Jack the ripper is. Even the original London police can't do anything... It's not easy to catch him."

The younger brother breathed out, looked around with wide eyes, and said to himself, "what a strange place."

"It's not just weird," Lin Sanjiu suddenly interrupted, and several people looked at her at the same time.

She rubbed her temples and sighed: "... I'm afraid the security of this copy is not as high as the gatekeeper said. At least, I think our evolutionary ability and special items should not be used."

As she spoke, she had slipped the [Combat item] into her pants pocket quietly - it now looked completely like an ordinary piece of clay. Lin Sanjiu originally intended to put it away as a card, but now even [flat world] is dumb and no longer responds.

The others were stunned and looked at each other, but no one made a sound.

——These people met by chance, and they had little trust in each other. It was reasonable that they would not say "my ability really failed".

After a few discussions, they decided to walk along this street first to see if they found anything. The roles they were assigned to were not important people, just a member of the slums living in the east end of London - before walking for a while, the brothers were "recognized" first: it turned out that they were the owners of a nearby pub; Recognizing them, it was a staggering, half drunk Eastern European immigrant who kept asking "is it time to open the door now?".

In the morning, there was a light blue sky light, which was even darker in the rain and fog. Although the young man read a lot about Jack the Ripper, it was obviously his first time in London; After walking for several rounds, the party found the famous white church in the Eastern District - it is said that the first victim of Jack the Ripper, a middle-aged prostitute who was stabbed with 39 knives, was found nearby.

In the continuous overcast rain, the alley looked even darker. In the 19th century, the air of London was always filled with pungent, sulfur like smoke, and even the rain could not wash away the deep and shallow haze in front of us. In this hazy and unreal alley, several people walked forward silently and aimlessly for a while, until suddenly there was a "cluttering" and "cluttering" heel sound from the corner.

Several people were stunned, just in time to see a young woman coming out of the rain and fog - she wrapped her shoulders tightly in a scarf with a hair ball, and hurried across the corner; As soon as she found someone in front of her, she seemed to be startled, cautiously grabbed her skirt and retreated a few steps. However, when she raised her eyes and saw Lin Sanjiu, she seemed to be relieved immediately.

"Carol," she cried, her eyes full of dark blue, and the corners of her mouth were swollen by someone, red with blood. She smelled cheap and pungent powder, and the makeup on her face had long been dizzy - from the woman's clothes, her career was almost self-evident.

She approached Lin Sanjiu a few steps and looked at the young man again. Then she whispered: "... Are you two going home now? Is this the guest you just found?"

Lin Sanjiu looked at the young man, and he was a little embarrassed - he didn't expect that the role assigned to them in this game was actually a prostitute.

She didn't know how to answer, but vaguely said "ah".

"Be careful," said the young prostitute, suddenly hoarse and covering her dark eyes with her hands: "... That murderer has killed two people around here. It's better to go home early if you can go home early!"

Several evolutionists looked at each other when they heard the words.

"You two still have a place to live," said the young prostitute with a wry smile. "I thought yesterday's gentleman could give me a place to live for the time being, but I didn't expect... Forget it, I'll go to the dock for a walk, and maybe there's business."

After saying that, before a few people responded, she hurriedly turned around and left again - her low-quality high-heeled leather shoes no longer sounded like a neat "click" from a nearby place, with a little noise of opening and hitting the leather again.

Seeing that she had gone far, the young man withdrew his eyes. He asked several people in a low voice, "what should we do now? Jack the Ripper has killed two people."

"Are they all prostitutes?" Lin Sanjiu frowned and asked, "how many people did he kill?"

"... five, all prostitutes." The young man answered softly. "They were all killed in a few months, and the duration was not long."

"Even if we don't do anything, it's estimated that this game won't last long." The elder brother of the two brothers said, "I'm not interested in catching the murderer. Let's find a place in the game, and then wait for the end of the game in the place. How about it?"

Before Lin Sanjiu spoke, the young man immediately blushed - "well, it's not easy to have such a chance. I, I really want to see who is Jack the Ripper."

"And you?" The brother glanced at Lin San Jiu.

"Let's go together," she thought for a moment, and persuaded the young man, "when you have a place to stay, it's not too late for you to go out and inquire."

The young man bowed his head and said yes.

It's not difficult to find a place to live, but it's not easy to say: finally, the young man came up with an idea to let the two brothers pretend to be drunk, and ask where their home is when they see people - with this stupid method, although there were some twists and turns on the way, they finally found their rental house.

It seems that the life of the tavern owner is not very easy. This low-cost rental house is mixed with the residences of several old rickshaw pullers and shoe repairmen. The backyard fence is full of the smell of horse poop and leather odor. Even with the windows closed, it also penetrates into the house.

After the four of them sat down in the dark and cramped living room, Lin Sanjiu finally breathed out. There was a heavy damp and musty smell in the room, as if she hadn't lived much for a while - she looked up at the other people and found that the brothers were obviously the same as her, and she didn't know what to do next. Only the young man, his cheeks flushed and his eyes lit up at this time, as if he couldn't help but be excited to see Jack the Ripper with his own eyes.

"Why are you so interested in this murderer?" My brother's body is trapped in a single sofa. In the dark room, it seems that I can only see his straight eyes.

The young man winced and replied: "... Jack the ripper is very famous. He is in movies, songs, novels... Everything..."

"Since you're here, tell us more about Jack." The younger brother sat on the sofa in an almost identical posture and asked the young man.

This sentence fell into the young man's lap - he obviously had a lot of research on Jack the Ripper. Hearing this, he immediately changed his fear and told the case in full detail; Even many of the details are clearly remembered, and sometimes different sources can be said.

"If I used to say this, people would think I was changing state." at last, the young man seemed to notice his excitement and bowed his head a little embarrassed: "but there are many people who are interested in serial killers, and I'm nothing... I also heard that after many serial killers were arrested and imprisoned, many admirers corresponded with them, and even married them in prison..."

Lin Sanjiu has also heard of this.

"Hey, it's dark outside." The younger brother looked out of the window and suddenly gave a soft cry.

Several people were stunned when they saw it. Time in the game obviously passes faster than in reality; The young man just told the case once, and the sky outside the window had changed from morning to night - under the dim light of the gas street lamp, there were more prostitutes, hooligans and drunks one after another. Women of all ages and shapes stood in groups on the street, shivering in cold nights, waiting for the arrival of guests.

"If you want to find the murderer, you can go," the brother smiled at the young man and pointed to the shadow hidden under the street lamp outside the window. "We can accompany you -"

As soon as he said this, he was cut off by a sudden knock on the door. Several people looked at each other. Lin Sanjiu was closest to the door, so he got up and opened the door - as soon as the door opened, the woman outside was stunned first.

"Didn't Mr. Carol Dalton ask me to come?" She wiped her scarlet lips and painted her face white, but she couldn't hide her loose skin and tired wrinkles. She raised her voice, and the sharp voice of questioning shocked Lin Sanjiu's ears: "Why are you here? Did you rob my business?"

As soon as she made such a noise, the door of her neighbor was pushed open - an elderly man leaned out his head and laughed at her and said: "... Anne, Mr. Dalton is so much younger than you, I'm afraid he has no interest in you. Otherwise, you just come to me -"

"Bah, you have to have money!" The prostitute / girl named Annie spat at the real price, and a mouthful of white sputum was wiping the tip of Lin Sanjiu's shoes.

Dalton seemed to be the names of the two brothers in the game - Lin Sanjiu was bothered by her, and was about to let the two brothers send her away, but he didn't think about looking back, and first met a pair of eyes that were bright because of excitement and tension.

"Anne?" The young man repeated in a trembling voice, "Anne Chapman?"

The old prostitute turned her head and looked puzzled: "... What are you doing?"

Lin Sanjiu and the two brothers' eyes were on the young man at this time. He glanced back and put his voice very softly, almost leaving only his mouth: "she is the third victim."
