Chapter 4: Pursuit (Part 2)

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

At this moment, You seemed to understand my thoughts, and the expression on her face became serious.

I recalled the scene from earlier, when I shouted, "Catch him!" Although faint, a slight white light emanated from Jack's body.

You's face once again revealed a pure and adorable smile reminiscent of a good child, but only I knew how dark her heart was behind that smile. Ying did not reject our suggestions; although she could not attend school for the time being, she seemed to be indifferent about it.

I took a cigarette out of my pocket, thought for a moment, and then put it back.

Well, it is good that Mr. Zhun knows

As she spoke, she glanced at me

What should be done about this young lady

Although I do not know what secrets he possesses, in this situation, I should be the one to win. No matter where he escapes to, he cannot evade the tracking and biting of the hellhound. However, I still do not let my guard down. Ever since our first confrontation, I have always felt that there are certain qualities about this guy that I have yet to uncover.

I conveyed everything that has transpired, as well as our identities, to Ying. This included the souls that have reappeared in this world across time and space, we, the otherworldly beings burdened with souls, and all that is currently happening. Ying listened attentively and occasionally posed questions.

I advise you not to waste your efforts; if you take any further action, Cyprias will devour even your soul.

In the sound of my chant, dark foam erupted from the ground like boiling magma, engulfing the swiftly approaching scalpel. I coldly gazed at him, who was already at his wits' end, while lighting a cigarette. At that moment, the black foam formed a massive biological shadow, standing behind me

O fearsome hellhound Cerberus, respond to my summons and appear in the mortal realm

I searched the hospital from top to bottom with Youfen, but we still could not find any trace of Jack the Ripper. We could only return to Ying's ward with our heads down. Although Ying did not know what had happened, she remained calm and sat there waiting for our return.

I asked with a hint of irritation

It was not until this moment that Ying interjected into our conversation. However, to be honest, I still had some hesitation about whether or not I should tell her the truth.

Souls that have not awakened will act in the same or similar manner as they did in life, following the deeds attributed to them by people. Only after the possessed has experienced this entire cycle of events can the foreign soul completely take control of their body, achieving the purpose of re-entering the world.

Have you already become like this when you came here

What more can I say in the face of such confident speech

At 3 AM, I brought Ying back to my apartment. After arranging for her to rest in the bedroom, I went to the study to clean the room, as it seemed I would have to live here for a while. After a night of running around, Ying appeared to be quite tired. When I opened the bedroom door again, I could already hear her soundly asleep. Lying back on the makeshift sofa bed in the study, I reflected on everything that had happened today. I truly did not know what Jack the Ripper intended to do. Historically, it has even been impossible to determine whether he was male or female. Lying back on the makeshift sofa bed in the study, I pondered again on everything that had transpired today. I really did not know what Jack the Ripper wanted to achieve. In history, it has even been impossible to ascertain whether he was male or female. Where could such a murderer, shrouded in mystery, be at this moment, and what could he be doing? ... And what exactly happened in that hospital ... During the investigation in the basement, You had discovered some blood-smeared incantations and Kabbalistic symbols, but they not only lacked any magical response, their meanings were completely chaotic ... Thus, lost in thought, I also fell into a deep sleep ... During the investigation in the basement, You had discovered some blood-smeared incantations and Kabbalistic symbols, but they not only lacked any magical response, their meanings were completely chaotic ... Thus, lost in thought, I also fell into a deep sleep ...

That is a skill that You Xiang has always excelled in, sending a mesmerizing magical fragrance to the enemy through the "Beauty Fan." This fragrance can completely control the neural pathways of the human brain, ensnaring both men and women in a state of indulgence from which they cannot extricate themselves, ultimately leading to death. Fortunately, my body has been thoroughly demonized, preventing me from being poisoned by this substance. Otherwise, I might have already become a lifeless corpse lying in the corridor.

We all looked towards Ying at the same time, but she smiled and waved at us.

But... what exactly is he...

Is this possible

Ying's mind is quite agile; it seems she has already figured this out.

The fact that everyone in the hospital has disappeared while you remain raises concerns in itself Moreover ... ...

In this regard...

Is it possible to infuse weapons with magic? Childish matters and books

Then let her stay with me for the time being

In other words, is the murderer of the serial killings a human born from the lineage of Jack the Ripper

This is not impossible, for since Jack the Ripper has appeared here, it indicates that his target must be one of the three of us. Whether it is me or You, neither of us is easily killed. Therefore, if this fellow knowingly walks into danger, the target should be the weakest link among the three of us.

I understand

It is not as if I am asking you to use 'a beauty that can topple a nation' on me

Yes, yes, yes, I know. Not only will there be a deduction of funds, but there is also a three-month prohibition on accepting tasks, isn't there

"Hoo hoo hoo..." However, You only smiled slightly. "I believe you will definitely come, Mr. Jun."

Even if the lethality of the weapons is increased, they are merely ordinary tools for dealing with the enemy. It is utterly impossible for mere humans to use such things to defeat me.

What should we do? If the target is Ying, are we supposed to provide close protection?

Excellent

When I turned around, I found that the guy was rushing towards the stairway, and at the sound of my call, You hurriedly emerged from Ying's hospital room, blocking his path.

Protect the fireflies

After a brief conversation, I clenched my fists and charged towards him, standing at the door. That guy seemed to be waiting for my move; I saw him flicker and swiftly retreat down the corridor. The black trench coat was glaringly bright under the white light, and I pursued him closely while silently reciting an incantation. The narrow corridor offered no space for drifting or fighting. When Jack finally steadied himself at the end of the corridor, three surgical knives, accompanied by the sound of slicing air, came at me. If they were ordinary weapons, it would have been fine, but from the faint purple light reflecting off the blades, I sensed that things were not looking good.

Youdai stared blankly ahead, seemingly unable to believe that someone could actually evade her ultimate move. At this moment, just this brief delay meant that she could no longer find any trace of that guy.

You immediately cast a dissenting vote

It is not quite like that; the soul must undergo a long period of baptism before it possesses the strength to return to the mortal realm, requiring at least over 100 years.

What should we do now? The hospital has been destroyed and there is not a single person here. By morning, it will surely raise suspicions.

No," You replied with certainty.

The question is, in this awakened present, what exactly does Jack want? What is his purpose for coming to the hospital? These are things we cannot know

I do not know if it is my illusion, but as I said this sentence, I suddenly noticed that Jack the Ripper's body flickered with a faint white light

No, Xiaoying cannot go home at the moment

One of the influences on the soul is the ability imposed by people's imagination. Many individuals, after their death, not only gain fame but also have their stories and legends exaggerated or even deified by others. Under the influence of people's own thinking, this person, upon meeting certain conditions, will "certainly" transform into a specific form. This ability is irreversible and even unstoppable, hence it is referred to as absolute ability. The infamous Jack the Ripper was never brought to justice, as everyone believed that no one could catch him. If, after a long passage of time, he were to acquire this ability, then at the very moment we decide to "catch" him, we would trigger the switch that activates his ability. The effect of "absolute ability" is definitive; therefore, since we are "catching" him, he will never be captured by us. Because everyone believes that Jack the Ripper is impossible to catch.

You should be aware that you still have tasks at hand. If such matters affect your tasks...

When the door shattered, Yu and I instinctively stood in front of Ying's bed. The biting cold wind and the stench that rushed in stimulated my nerves. Yu took out her ever-present fragrant fan, half-open and held close to her chest, then glanced at me before stepping back. I understood her intention clearly; since I was the one who took the money, it was naturally my responsibility to handle the situation, while she would only observe from the sidelines for now

Not correct

You calmly consider the issues from a realistic perspective

Youdeyi extended a finger

Regarding different types of otherworldly beings, the changes in power vary. Gods and demons may only exist in human legends. However, as these legends continue to be passed down, many individuals, including scholars, genuinely believe in their existence, and within these beliefs, their souls are formed. I think, therefore I am; this means that since humanity believes in the existence of gods and demons, they indeed exist. These souls drift through time and space, always ready to resurrect by utilizing human bodies. I think, therefore I am; this means that since humanity believes in the existence of gods and demons, they indeed exist. These souls drift through time and space, always ready to resurrect by utilizing human bodies. We refer to those possessed by gods or demons as divine or demonic beings. The souls of legendary figures, under the strong resonance of human power, can also become part of this class; they too can attach themselves to humans and awaken through reincarnation. However, over the long years, even human souls can acquire different powers due to the various prayers of different individuals. We refer to these as true otherworldly beings.

Although several suspects were arrested, there was no evidence to prove that they were the murderers. They were released shortly thereafter

This is probably quite difficult... because we have not received a commission, and there is no fee, is there not

Youyou revealed her beautiful and elegant smile, and what this guy is really thinking seems to be something I will never be able to guess in my lifetime

What will you do if I don't come?

Mr. Zhun, it is also fine to tell her.

If it is someone with absolute power, then we can only change our approach

I interrupted her speech

No, when I arrived, it was still an ordinary hospital, but before long, I felt something was devouring this place, so I hurriedly opened the barrier while waiting for your arrival

The eyes of You shimmered with an enchanting light

In other words, as long as it is a renowned soul, it can be reincarnated as a species

Absolute ability

You murmured to yourself with some confusion

I knew you would care about such matters; for You, nothing is more important than money. Even if she were to come, it wouldn't be long before she would run to the Ying family to collect protection fees. This money-loving person. I sighed inwardly and said helplessly

You are somewhat surprised

If it were a human, it would be impossible to escape the allure of "a beauty that could topple a nation"

I hurriedly exited the illusion and shouted at You.

I believe that Xiaoying may encounter danger again

Time is running short; we must leave here before dawn. Otherwise, the consequences of the words in the *illustrated* book are difficult to predict

My words do not matter; as long as I can go home, that is enough

However, at this moment, there was no time for further thought. I saw You swiftly open the folding fan in her hand and then waved it towards Jack, releasing a wisp of ethereal smoke. What we did not expect was that the smoke actually passed through his body and rushed towards me! "Oh no!" Before I could react, a sweet fragrance surged into my brain. The originally cold walls around me suddenly transformed into a warm haven. Before my eyes, a girl, completely unclothed, appeared in front of me. Her charming and shy expression made my heart flutter. The girl slowly approached me and placed my hand on her soft chest. The originally cold walls around me suddenly transformed into a warm haven.

I have completed all my university courses

Who can tell me what exactly happened

If that is the case, perhaps this fellow has acquired absolute power after all

Is this acceptable

I ... ... I did not expect ... ...

Catch him

In response to my question, You shook her head

Are there any historical rumors about having captured Jack the Ripper

That's right

As she spoke, she glanced at the watch on her wrist and sighed

As expected, this guy, like before, seemed not to consider his own situation and suddenly charged at me again. At the same time, Cerberus also reacted, and in an instant, it had pounced in front of Jack, extending its massive claws. However, something incredible happened once more. That guy actually passed through Cerberus like a wisp of smoke, as if the enormous watchdog was merely an illusion. But this time, I was prepared; the ash from my cigarette traced arcs of light in the air. The enormous hexagram appeared before me. "Let's see if you can dodge this move!" With the final circle completed, I unleashed the surging dark power hidden in the shadows. The roaring energy transformed into a massive beam of light, engulfing the entire corridor. When I closed the energy valve again, apart from the wall in front of me that had been blasted open, nothing else remained.

When I closed the energy valve again, apart from the wall in front of me that had been blasted open, nothing else remained. But I soon realized that things were not as simple as I had imagined; Cerberus's low growl warned me that with only a few millimeters to spare, the scalpel grazed my cheek and fell away. How could this guy possibly do that!
