The First Evolution

Chapter 186: Scout

Chapter 186: Scout

Yes, in Fang Linyan’s plane, there was also this strange and cruel legend.

This was a mysterious murderer who murdered at least 5 prostitutes in the Whitechapel area of ??East London in a short period of 3 months. He allegedly signed with the name “Jack the Ripper” when he wanted to provoke the police, but he was never caught.

The biggest characteristic of Jack the Ripper was that he was a real person rather than a fictitious person.

Yes, Fang Linyan didn’t pay much attention to this milestone at the beginning, because he knew very well that this kind of thing was like a billion yuan lucky draw prize. If he really spent effort on it, he would find that his effort was mostly useless.

It was better to take a step at a time rather than reaching something that was beyond his grasp.

However, if it was really a coincidence and directly put this series of related clues in front of him, then Fang Linyan would of course not miss it.

Therefore, Fang Linyan simply ran in the direction where the screams came from.

At this time, Fang Linyan’s agility was already 9 points, and with the buff of the Blood Orchid’s fruit, he could be called a professional sprinter. When he arrived, he still didn’t see the killer. He could only see a woman lying on the ground in the dark, and a large amount of dark liquid flowed out from under her body.

Fang Linyan didn’t have much interest in saving people. He flipped his palm and [Drone] had flown into the sky.

“There!”

[Drone] was a tracking device, so it immediately saw a dark shadow escaping far away quickly. But unfortunately, it was night, so [Drone]’s sight was greatly restricted. It couldn’t see the guy’s face clearly.

However, Jack the Ripper wouldn’t expect that there would be a high-tech such as [Drone] monitoring his every move, so after finding that there was no one around, he opened the sewer cover and jumped in.

Fang Linyan was stunned by this scene. This was London in the 18th century. Entering the sewer at this time was a huge disaster. The drain was at least 6 feet deep and was filled with ashes, animal carcasses and even feces. It often overflowed due to poor circulation, and it was smelly.

No wonder the police were helpless. As long as they didn’t have the courage to enter the sewer and search, they would definitely do nothing with Mr. Jack the Ripper.

However, for Fang Linyan who witnessed all this, he was thoughtful. Yes! Because he found the pattern of Jack the Ripper’s behaviors, and Jack the Ripper didn’t even know this yet!

“This is really a good start!”

A smile appeared at the corner of Fang Linyan’s mouth, then he continued to run quickly toward the Westminster Abbey Area.

After approaching the Westminster Abbey Cathedral, Fang Linyan realized that the area was covered with a thin layer of mist. He decisively released [Drone] and started to scout.

“Then, I just barely deal with the main mission and focus on collecting information…”

After [Drone] completed the flight to the periphery of Westminster Abbey Church, Fang Linyan found that the completion of the main mission: Exploration had reached 31%. Such a discovery naturally made him very happy.

However, no matter how [Drone] circled, Fang Linyan found that his Mission Completion was stuck here. So, he could only sigh and start to head toward the inside of Westminster Abbey Church.

From the previous circling process of [Drone], he had obtained the basic data of Westminster Abbey Cathedral, which was composed of the main church, the attached cemetery, the monastery on the south side, and the chapel on the east side.

Although the sky was getting dark, according to the convention, the deacon inside must light the candles inside before nightfall. The candlelight doubled the solemnity of the cathedral. Although [Drone] did not have night vision, it could still scout.

When it was flying, it occasionally saw shining purple light. Fang Linyan wasn’t sure if it was the resonant unusual energy mentioned in the mission log, so he probably had to check it himself.

But when Fang Linyan saw the shining purple light, he couldn’t help but feel very dangerous. He instinctively wanted to stay away. No wonder the Space had to let him be cannon fodder…

After arriving at the gate of the cathedral, Fang Linyan unexpectedly discovered that although the door was closed, the side door was open. It was still swaying in the cold night wind.

When he approached, he realized that there were a few bloody handprints on the door. It should be that the priest or the clerical worker in Westminster Abbey was injured and fled from the inside in fear.

Fang Linyan carefully observed these bloody handprints and found that the blood on them was about to dry out, which means that the danger inside actually came from 40 minutes to an hour ago——– In the other words, if he rushed here after receiving the mission, then the danger would come suddenly.

“Um… then I think I can wait a little longer.” Fang Linyan muttered to himself.

In fact, the reason Fang Linyan wanted to do this is really simple, that was, the bloody handprints on the door belonged to different owners, which meant that several people had escaped!

What was Westminster Abbey? It was almost the exclusive church of the British royal family. It could be understood as a place like the imperial tomb.

So if something went wrong here, Scotland Yard (the representative name of the London Police Agency) would definitely not sit back and watch! Since he didn’t rush here immediately, he didn’t have to rush now as he had 3 hours more to complete the mission.

Therefore, Fang Linyan waited on the spot, and he set a time limit for himself, which was 2 hours.

If the Scotland Yard police didn’t arrive 2 hours later, then he would… of course not go in, but light a fire! In this case, someone else would come here. In short, if there was no cannon fodder leading the way, Fang Linyan would never enter if he wasn’t forced to do so.

Fortunately, 10 minutes later, a dozen or so uniformed Scotland Yard police officers came to the scene, led by a priest named Turks and hurriedly into the cathedral. After seeing this scene, Fang Linyan naturally controlled the [Drone] to follow in. He just followed them from behind far away.

The cathedral was a little dim, and Father Turks lit 1 of the candelabra and held it in his hand. Under the candlelight, he immediately noticed that there was an obvious pit in the central area of ??the cathedral. The diameter of the pit was about 1 meter. The nearby benches showed signs of being burnt.

According to the priest’s somewhat flustered explanation, a purple light ball suddenly appeared in the church and quickly turned everything it touched into ashes. Fortunately, no one touched it. This light ball probably existed for about 10 minutes.

Shortly after the appearance of this light ball, many strange things began to appear in the entire Westminster Abbey. Some strange events seemed more like pranks, but some strange events were creepy. The first thing that appeared was a servant called Rackett. His job was to clean the attached cemetery every once in a while. He would also pray, put flowers and so on.

It was just that not long after Rackett went out, he ran back with unstable footsteps. He looked painful, and foam came out from his mouth. He couldn’t even speak anymore.

Everyone hurriedly caught him and wanted to help. A hoarse sound came from his throat. He desperately tore off his clothes. In the end, they found that there was a bowl-sized pustule on his back. It was broken with just a touch. The liquid that flowed out from it was blue.

That was still normal. What was even worse was that Rackett, who had fainted, floated directly like a balloon filled with hydrogen. If it weren’t for the roof, he would fly into the sky just like that.

In fact, Rackett, who fainted, was quite lucky, because he was still alive and breathing at least.

In contrast, the priest’s friends Vasily and Teli were not so lucky. They were responsible for patrolling after nightfall. They fled back 10 minutes after doing their task. They kept shouting ‘devil’ madly. Their faces were flushed. Their skin appeared strangely transparent. Their bodies even exuded an unpleasant burnt smell.

A group of people approached in fear. They tried to sprinkle holy water on them, but the 2 screamed in pain at the same time before exploding into a blood mist. Those who were trying to help were also implicated. They felt like being splashed by hot magma, and they rolled on the floor in pain.

…….

In the face of these strange events, the only thing the priests could do was to hold the cross and pray tremblingly, hoping that all this would pass quickly, but this was only the beginning of the nightmare.

Next, purple light balls began to appear everywhere in the cathedral, and they continued to appear and disappear in the nearby area. A group of terrifying flying snakes started to appear as well. Their bodies were about the thickness of chopsticks. They had scarlet eyes and 8 wings that flapped quickly. They ran around Westminster Abbey like a gust of wind. In a short time, many people were wounded by them; some even died after getting slashed in their throats.

In this case, church members and monastery members could only completely evacuate the Westminster Abbey area, and the bloody fingerprints on the small door were left at that time.

TL: Will he choose to touch the unusual energy to get more mission rewards later?
