She suddenly opened her eyes, startled awake from her sleep.

Her gaze swept quickly across the room, but she couldn't see anything clearly.

She drew the curtains tightly shut, letting in no light at all, leaving the room pitch black.

But she could still feel something pressing down on her.

Suddenly, Emma's body stiffened, and when she looked down, she suddenly saw a blurry, baby-shaped shadow lying on top of her.

Seemingly noticing Emma's gaze, the baby-shaped thing looked over.

Although she couldn't see clearly, Emma felt that this thing seemed to be...laughing at her?

"Mom~!"

An incredibly eerie baby's cry echoed in Emma's ears.

dong dong!

At the same time, there was a knock on her door.

"Ms. Emma! Ms. Emma, ​​are you inside?!"

Suddenly, shouts came from outside the door.

"what!"

Emma, ​​who was on edge, screamed in fright.

Those outside the door tensed up immediately upon hearing the screams.

"Oh no! Something's happened inside! Break down the door!"

Bah!

The next second, the already flimsy wooden door was suddenly kicked open, and several men in black uniforms rushed in.

Some of them carried batons and shields, while others carried lanterns.

The small room suddenly became lively.

However, when Xu Ming and Eileen walked in, they only saw a woman huddled at the head of the bed, trembling, while a group of men in uniforms stood menacingly by the window.

It looked exactly like a criminal gang about to assault a vulnerable woman.

However, no one present was in the mood for jokes.

"Ms. Emma! Where's Jack the Ripper?! Have you seen what the killer looks like?"

Eileen asked somewhat anxiously.

Emma was pale. She didn't speak, her fingers trembling as she slowly pointed to the bottom of the bed.

A police officer immediately lay down and shone the lantern under the bed. After a while, he stood up with a puzzled look on his face.

There's nothing down there.

The officer's answer seemed to provoke her, and Emma suddenly screamed.

"That thing is down there! I watched it go in!"

The officers looked at each other in bewilderment.

"That thing?"

Eileen, however, noticed something unusual about Emma's answer.

"Search the entire room thoroughly!"

Detective George immediately gave the order.

The police officers got to work, and the kerosene lamps in the room were lit, restoring light to the room completely.

Emma's rented apartment was small, and the officers quickly and thoroughly searched the bathroom, closet, under the bed, behind the curtains, and even the ceiling above their heads, but still found nothing.

Detective George looked at Emma with suspicion.

"Madam, are you really sure you saw the perpetrator?!"

"That thing is still there! It's been watching me!"

Emma screamed hysterically.

Several police officers showed a hint of helplessness on their faces.

Emma kicked them out when they came to visit this morning, and now they haven't found anything in the room, but Emma insists there's someone there.

This woman is probably mentally ill.

Similar thoughts popped into the officers' minds.

"what is this?"

Just as the atmosphere became a little awkward, Eileen suddenly pointed at Emma's blanket and said...

Everyone immediately looked in the direction she was pointing.

There was a large black stain there, shaped somewhat like something had pressed onto the blanket, with two of the marks resembling a baby's handprint.

"Madam, you didn't print this yourself, did you?"

Eileen looked at her with a serious expression.

"That damn thing did it!"

Emma screamed and threw the blanket to the ground, completely disregarding the fact that she was wearing only a thin nightgown, which immediately exposed her voluptuous figure to everyone's eyes.

However, no one is interested in appreciating it at the moment.

Eileen turned to look at Detective George, her expression very serious.

"It seems that Jack the Ripper was probably a dwarf of infant size."

Detective George nodded in deep agreement and immediately gave instructions to his subordinates:

"Check the room again, don't miss any corner!"

"Yes, Sir!"

The officers searched the entire room again, but still found nothing.

"Has the perpetrator already escaped?"

Eileen checked the window again, still somewhat unwilling to give up, only to find that it was locked tight and completely undamaged.

Now even Eileen is having a problem.

Xu Ming coughed and said softly:

"Could it be that Jack the Ripper wasn't human at all, but some other non-human being?"

Upon hearing this, the air in the room suddenly turned cold.

"That thing isn't human! It's a monster!"

Emma immediately screamed.

The strange phenomena in the room made even the police officers suspicious, and one officer even secretly made the sign of the cross on his chest.

Eileen gave Xu Ming a reproachful look.

"Don't talk nonsense! There are no ghosts in this world! Believe in science!"

Xu Ming shrugged and said nothing more.

After all, the profession of detective is inherently at odds with the supernatural, and given that Irene's grandfather, Sherlock Holmes, was an expert in chemistry, Irene naturally became a follower of the cult of science.

"We'll stay here tonight. I refuse to believe Jack the Ripper would dare commit murder in front of us police!"

Detective George said fiercely.

Since the perpetrator has already attacked Emma, ​​it would be inhumane to use her as bait.

Eileen didn't seem to have a better solution, so she agreed to Detective George's approach.

As for Emma, ​​she was terrified and now desperately wants more people to be with her.

As a result, four guests suddenly squeezed into Emma's small 20-square-meter room.

Eileen, Xu Ming, Detective George, and a police officer stayed inside to protect Emma.

The other officers dispersed and, at Eileen's insistence, patrolled the stairwells and nearby streets in pairs, carrying whistles with them.

Eileen also instructed them that if they spotted Jack the Ripper, they should not engage him in combat, but instead immediately blow their whistles to summon other officers for backup.

Faced with such a vicious and bizarre thug, the police officers immediately agreed.

Ms. Emma was now completely at ease and could only lean against the bed in a daze. She dared not touch the quilt again, so she took out her winter clothes and wrapped herself up tightly.

Eileen pulled out a book from somewhere and started reading.

As for the other three men in the room… staring at a disheveled lady wasn’t gentlemanly enough, so they all went about their own business.

Detective George pulled his subordinates to play cards, while Xu Ming started waving his phone.

Because the curtains were drawn, no one noticed that fog had rolled in outside again...

Chapter 581 Death in Anger (Part 2)

Emma was sitting on the bed, wrapped in her clothes, lost in thought.

Hehe~~!

Suddenly, I heard a little girl's laughter.

Emma looked up in surprise.

Just then, a strange gust of wind appeared out of nowhere.

Whoops!

All the oil lamps in the room went out at the same time, and the surroundings instantly became pitch black.

"What's going on!?"

Emma immediately screamed.

Strangely, there should have been four other people in the room besides her, but no one answered her.
