Chapter 99: What do you look like when others can't see you

Jack the Ripper died, and this incident did not cause much trouble in the fog capital, because except for his children and a limited number of people, no one even noticed that he was dead and was killed on the grass in his home.

When he died, he had a bitter smile on his face, without the gentleness he had always had, only bitterness, facing his final farewell to the world.

He is a sinner, and there is no doubt that he will charge money to seek the lives of others, and even just pay to torture the dead, allowing the dead to face death in the most miserable way.

But Chu didn't know why, but when she killed him, she was very complicated.

Maybe it was because Jack asked her last question that she couldn't find the answer.

What is his sin, and what is his sin?

Isn’t the fog running on this rule? Isn’t the human society running on this rule?

The strong bully the weak, and the weak bully the weaker.

But in the fog city, everyone's eyes were covered by fog, so they were even more unscrupulous. If they were restrained, wouldn't it be a sin?

Moreover, if murder is a sin, shouldn’t Chu be the most hateful evil person?

Yes, it is because she is the most evil person that she was chosen as a messenger, right?

This city is a sinful city, and she is the most evil villain.

······

The next day, the police station in the Mist City welcomed its first batch of complainants.

They were a group of children, the older ones standing in the hall of the police station with the young ones in their arms, and each of them had no expression on their faces.

Chu still remembers how she looked when she first saw these children. At that time, each of them had hope in their eyes, which was something that was not available in the fog city.

And now, they have become like the others in the Mist City, with dull eyes.

The cases reported by these children were homicides, their father was killed, and they were the murderer in the Mist City, who wanted the police to be able to catch it and kill it.

When Lawrence took over the case, his expression was very complicated. He glanced at Chu beside him and understood why she left alone yesterday.

As a policeman, Lawrence took over the case, but he knew in his heart that there would be no progress in this case.

What these children have to face is the most helpless result.

The children left, they were very sensible and did not cause any trouble for Lawrence and Chu.

In fact, they can cry, be angry, and be resentful. Even if that is the case, no one will blame them, but they are too sensible. Even the youngest child did not cry, but there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

They stood close together silently, as if they were holding on to their last little hope, and then left silently.

Jack didn't leave nothing for them, the wealth he left was enough to keep them alive, but what they wanted shouldn't be those.

······

In the next few days, Lawrence often took Chu to Jack's house to investigate in the name of collecting clues.

The children did not refuse. Sometimes, they would leave the two to have supper together. There was a little girl named Jennifer who was good at cooking. I heard that Jack taught her personally.

Jack's body was buried in the cemetery, and the house seemed to have returned to peace, but they still changed.

Naughty Ender no longer plays football. Claude locks himself in the study almost every day. The paintings drawn by Joseph become dark and sloppy, and Emma's piano sound becomes hollow.

It should be the sixth day, Lawrence handed a stack of documents to Chu.

"The forces behind Jack have found out. Let's clean up this city."

As a policeman, his business ability is still very guaranteed. Based on the limited clues left by Jack's family, he found almost half of the power underground in the Mist City.

Similarly, he has not slept for several days and nights, perhaps because of his guilt towards those children, or perhaps, he just wants to vent his suppressed emotions in his heart.

In short, the task of cleaning the city was handed over to Chu. Lawrence returned home, fell on the sofa and fell asleep.

He stood beside Lawrence, who had just died of sleep, carried the sloppy middle-aged man to the bed, covered him with a quilt, and then turned around and went out.

She will clean up the city.

In the dark night, black mist drifted, and the cold moonlight hung high in the air, emitting a hazy pale white glow.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."

The dense gunfire broke the tranquility of the night, and the gunfires were endless this night.

"Concentrate firepower, concentrate firepower!"

A team of guards carried out round after round of fire with rifles in their hands, and the flames spewed out of the muzzle illuminated what they were shooting.

It was a pure black human form, and every part of the body was shrouded in black, making it look full of unknowns and frightening.

It was by no means a person, and the guards who shot it understood this because they saw their bullets shot into the humanoid body with their own eyes, but the other party had no reaction at all.

The black human figure walked towards them, and the guard could only retreat again and again until the figure walked in front of them, and they had no way out.

"Ah, ah, ah." A guard shot at the figure frantically, his face twisted, pushing bullets into the barrel again and again.

But this was just a futile resistance. With the sound of gunfire, screams mixed together. After a few seconds, a black humanoid walked slowly through the blood-stained corridor.

First she walked through the corridor and walked to a door at the end of the corridor. The person she was going to kill tonight was one of Jack's main employers. His name is Snate, and he is also one of the main managers who control many black market transactions.

Put your hand on the door handle, and then pushed the door open and walked in.

In the room, Snate turned around with his back to the door.

His face was still calm and indifferent, even in his current situation.

He looked at Chu and held his eyes, and said with his hands behind his back.

"When Jack died, I thought you would come back to me one day, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

Chu didn't reply, but just walked slowly towards Snate, and the evil in his hand condensed into a knife.

"You're from Lawrence, are you?" Snate said.

This made Chu pause.

Snate looked at Chu's appearance and had an answer in his heart and said lightly.

"This is what I guess, if you are not Lawrence, you are the one who works for him. Because he seems to be someone who wants to change the city."

At first, she still didn't say anything, so she continued to walk towards Snate and raised the knife in her hand.

Snate smiled and stood there.

"He will not succeed. Maybe he can change the rules, but the essence of this city will not change, because what is shown here is human nature."

When the fog covers people's eyes and makes people invisible to each other, the good will still be the good, and only the evil will reveal his original appearance.

The sin of the Mist City is just the nature of the human beings exposed.

"Click!"

The blade of the first hand slashed across Snate's body, and blood splashed out on the empty wall.
