Standing in the shadow, Jack, who had let go of the knife, stepped back slowly.

Under the smiling mask, the light gray eyes retracted their gaze that was staring at Lawrence.

Today he had missed the opportunity to kill Lawrence, and he felt that Lawrence's assistant seemed to have discovered him, so he was ready to leave.

His footsteps were almost sound, and he retreated from the river to the intricate streets of the fog capital.

In order to prevent Lawrence's assistant from catching up, Jack chose to follow his safe path.

He walked into the deepest part of an alley, pushed open a small door that was not conspicuous, and walked in. The crowds on the street would not notice the departure of a person.

Jack has been to the city for ten years. He is a smart man. The money he gets from killing people is not used at will.

Part of it is used to prepare for his and his children's life afterwards. When he doesn't need to kill anyone, he will take his children away and spend his days in a peaceful place.

The other part was used by him to prepare several secret passages in this city, connecting his manor and secret passages across the city.

The person who built this secret passage for him had been killed by him. He was the only one who knew these paths, so he could come and go without a trace.

The secret passage leading directly to the underground cannot even fog flows in.

By the river, she first noticed Jack's retreat, but she was not going to let Jack go.

He quickly ate the burger in his hand and said to Lawrence.

"Lawrence, I'll leave in advance."

"Hmm?" Lawrence looked at Kuyi in surprise while eating his burger.

"What's wrong with you?"

He knew that Chu was not an ordinary policeman, and it was impossible for him to take leave like an ordinary policeman.

"It's about the Ripper, you said, leave it to me."

After saying that, he walked towards Jack's departure.

She didn't let Lawrence go with her, or she didn't want Lawrence to come with her.

Because if it were Lawrence, he would probably kill the criminal at any time and place.

And she would try to kill Jack before he could return to the estate.

Chu held this plan and chased Jack in the direction.

But when she came to Jack's position where he left, she found that she could not feel Jack's position. She sensed all the nearby streets through the fog, but did not find Jack.

Finally, she stopped at a crossroads, and each road led to one direction, and people walking in all directions walked past her.

I tried to sense Jack's position again, but she still found nothing.

The sun shone on Chu's body, making the shadow under her look even darker.

She didn't know where Jack was going, but she knew where Jack was going. She could chase him or not.

She didn't want to go to that manor, but she couldn't do it if she asked her to give up the task for it.

She knew Jack would come before, so she could wait patiently.

But now Jack's sudden departure made her uncertain whether Jack discovered her identity and whether he would continue to run away. In addition, Jack disappeared from her perception, which made her feel that things were out of control.

If Jack left the Mist City with his children, her mission would be a failure. As an envoy, she could not fail.

At the first time at the intersection, she now needs to make a choice, a task, with her kindness.

She stood still for a while, and then without much hesitation, she chose the former.

Because she is a messenger, she should not be kind in front of the evildoers.

······

The sun is beautiful today, and the white manor on the corner of the street looks even more beautiful.

The white walls are whiter, the green grass is more lush, the swing is slowly shaking, and the sound of the wind can be heard vaguely.

At this time, the children were taking a nap and the yard was very quiet.

On the corner of the street, Jack pushed the door open and walked out.

The small door faced the manor not far away. After looking at the courtyard of the manor, Jack stayed there for a moment and took off the mask on his face.

Under the mask, a smile appeared on his face again.

In fact, every time he kills someone, he won’t laugh, so he puts on a mask of smiling, because this way he can be without losing his demeanor and covers his true expression.

However, when passing through this road leading to the manor, a smile would always appear on his face.

This is left for his children.

The same is true today, he will go home as usual, prepare supper for the children, have dinner with them, tell them bedtime stories until they fall asleep and kiss their foreheads.

He is alone outside the manor, a murderer without a bottom line. He is also alone in the manor, a father who loves children.

Just like his name, Jack Foss, he didn't know which side was his last name, and which side was his first name.

In front of the manor's gate, Jack reached out to open the door.

At this time, his hand stopped because he felt someone walking behind him.

After pausing for a moment, Jack turned his head silently and looked behind him.

Behind him, in the slightly dazzling sunlight, a dark figure stood there, wrapped in a black robe, and even his cheeks were covered in shadow.

Jack looked at the figure in confusion, and after a while, he grinned.

"Ha, is there anything you have to do with me?"

His hand let go of the iron gate and seemed to hang around him casually.

"I'll do it..." The figure raised his head and looked at Jack. "Take your sins away."

Jack paused the smile on his face, and under the brim of his hat, his light gray eyes stared straight at the figure.

"I don't understand what you mean, but this is a private territory. If I continue to move forward, I will take some measures accordingly."

He would not let the figure enter his manor because he knew who it was and what it did in the Mist City.

This guy who is like a ghost is a much more terrifying murderer than him.

Chu looked at Jack quietly, her black-covered face couldn't tell.

"Don't worry, no one else will be injured except you."

She said this and took a step towards Jack.

In the manor's western-style house.

Jack's children were getting together and they were not asleep. Although it was nap time, they didn't want to sleep yet because dad hadn't come back yet.

At this time, Lily, who was standing by the window, hugging her doll, called in surprise.

"Dad is back!"

So, the children squeezed to the window and looked out the window with anticipation.
