Chapter 197: Savage Pub (1/2)
Chapter 197: Savage Pub
“He is still not awake?” After re-entering the lounge, Chen Xiaolian turned to look at Dr Mu who was still lying on the sofa.
Lun Tai frowned and said, “I tried calling him up. I even splashed his face with water, but it is not working.”
Chen Xiaolian furrowed his eyebrows and he moved to Dr Mu’s side.
Things were getting stranger and stranger!
Dr Mu was still asleep. He was breathing at a uniform rate and it appeared as though there was no abnormality. Yet, they could not wake him up.
It was day time and the two women they brought with them had woken up.
Polly was emotionally agitated. She was almost strangled to death in the toilet within Colombo’s apartment after all. She felt that her life was in danger and she shouted for a good while.
As for the other woman – she was also the last recorded victim in the historical records.
Mary Jane Kelly.
She was much younger compared to the other victims at only twenty-six years old.
Although they had the same occupation… clearly, she was living a much better life compared to the other older victims.
It was obvious from the highly *** that she was wearing.
After waking up, the woman immediately screamed out loudly. However, Bei Tai shut her up by scaring her with a gun.
Chen Xiaolian was feeling vexed and he was not able to bring himself to go comfort the women.
He told Lun Tai, “Keep an eye on them. Make sure you have them in your sight at all times.”
“Even if they’re going to the toilet?” Lun Tai smiled wryly.
“Even if they are going to the toilet!” Chen Xiaolian nodded seriously.
…
In the day.
The old CRT TV began broadcasting the news.
The street before Dr Colombo’s apartment appeared in the news.
According to the news anchor, the police suspected that this was a terrorist attack. There was suspicion that the said terrorist had used some form of bomb in the attack.
Presently however, no organization had stepped forth to claim responsibility for this incident.
The whole street was engulfed in confusion.
It was not long before the police seemingly found some clues. The investigators at the scene found Colombo’s apartment.
The forensic doctor was considered either missing or kidnapped…
Or…
“Am I going to be labelled as a terrorist?” Worry was etched on Colombo’s face.
Researching Jack the Ripper’s case was merely his hobby. Nobody would want their future career to be ruined due to a hobby.
“Can I leave?” Colombo pitifully asked.
The request was utterly rejected.
At a time like this, neither Chen Xiaolian nor Phoenix would allow Colombo to leave – doing so would bring the police to them.
The forensic doctor expressed his dissatisfaction. However, he did not have any strength to resist.
“We will compensate you for all the damages you have incurred.”
The approach Phoenix used to comfort Colombo was to simply produce a box of money.
“Additionally, we can guarantee that after this matter ends, there will not be any trouble on your end,” Chen Xiaolian assured Colombo.
He deduced that if everything were to go according to the rules of the instance dungeon… then, once this London instance dungeon ended, the system would refresh everything – just like what happened to Tokyo.
During the day, Chen Xiaolian had asked Bei Tai to do something.
Bei Tai then left the warehouse for a few hours before returning.
He brought something from the outside and gave it to Chen Xiaolian.
In the evening, Chen Xiaolian retrieved some food from his Storage Watch and distributed them for everyone.
After that, Phoenix came over.
“Let’s go.”
“En.” Chen Xiaolian nodded his head. He stuffed the bread he was holding into his mouth and stood up.
They had discussed things through in the afternoon. The first thing they would do at night was to go to the Savage Pub to find the final victim that they had yet to find.
Considering how Jack the Ripper had only committed his crimes in the night, there was the possibility that the woman was still alive.
Catherine Eddowes, nicknamed Kate.
This was the last victim that they had yet to find. According to Polly, she might appear at a place known as the Savage Pub.
During the day, the murder of Black Annie was reported. In the news report, the police reported that the time of death of the deceased was between morning and dawn. In other words, it should be at around five in the morning.
