Why is my anime art style so weird?

Just then, I heard a little girl's laughter.

Laughter echoed in the room, and everyone's faces immediately showed a blank expression.

A truly terrifying scene unfolded.

puff!

With a soft sound, a long, narrow wound suddenly appeared in the center of Ms. Emma's chest.

The next second, the wound suddenly burst open, and blood mixed with internal organs gushed out like a volcanic eruption, instantly staining everything in front of her blood red!

It was as if someone had planted a small bomb inside her.

The officer who remained on duty was standing not far in front of Ms. Emma when he was instantly covered in blood.

The terrifying and supernatural scene immediately startled him so much that he fell to the ground with a thud, letting out a scream that resembled that of a woman.

Upon hearing the commotion, the police officers outside rushed into the room.

Eileen and Officer George, however, looked extremely grim.

All four people present saw it clearly: Emma was disemboweled in mid-air without anyone touching her.

Xu Ming's earlier reminder immediately came to mind.

Eileen suddenly turned to look at Xu Ming, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Detective George, his face pale, surveyed the horrific scene. After a moment, he let out a long sigh and gave instructions to the officers:

"Clean up the scene immediately."

Eileen's expression changed instantly.

"Wait, detective! We haven't..."

Detective George waved his hand.

"I'm sorry, Sir, things have gotten beyond our control. I must now report everything that has happened here to the higher-ups."

As for whether the higher-ups will continue the investigation or summon several bishops to perform an exorcism, that's beyond my control.

When it comes to living people, even the most vicious criminals are nothing in the face of the state apparatus.

But what if we're facing a non-human adversary that humans cannot defeat...?

Detective George glanced at the horrific room, a hint of horror in his eyes.

He's now completely preoccupied with figuring out how to escape this damn case.

He's had enough!

The room reeked of blood; the disemboweled corpse lay on the bed, the blood still steaming on the floor. Yet, the people in the room were lost in their own thoughts—it was a cruel irony.

The situation defies common sense, the monsters are inhuman... the development of the case has gone beyond Eileen's control.

Shortly after Detective George reported everything that had happened that night, the Metropolitan Police immediately questioned all the parties involved individually, and the case was then reported to a higher level.

After some discussion, the authorities decided to abandon further investigation, instead began to suppress the news, and attempted to seek help from the Protestant church.

The major newspapers that had been reporting extensively on Jack the Ripper seemed to have suddenly shifted their interest and stopped reporting any news about him.

The once-sensational Jack the Ripper seemed to have been forgotten overnight.

The police officers who were originally involved in the case were all silenced by their superiors.

Overnight, London returned to a state of tranquility, as if in self-deception.

However, some observant people might notice that there has suddenly been an increase in the number of people at street churches in London, though they wonder what this means...

Xu Ming and Eileen rode in a carriage toward 221B Baker Street.

The two remained completely silent the entire way.

Once home, Eileen immediately locked herself in her study.

Xu Ming glanced at the study with the door tightly closed and scratched his head.

...Is the young lady going into seclusion again?

However, not long after, Eileen came out of the room carrying a gentleman's cane.

She noticed Xu Ming's strange gaze immediately and smiled slightly.

"Watson, you don't think I'm going to give up, do you?"

Xu Ming frowned immediately.

The plan to intercept Jack the Ripper in advance has failed, which means that the only option is to go to Whitechapel for the final battle with Jack the Ripper.

"You've seen what happened today; it's not something an ordinary person can handle. Are you sure you still want to go?"

Eileen's attitude, however, was very firm.

“The criminal killed the victim in front of me, and if I didn’t respond, I would be tarnishing the name of ‘Sherlock Holmes,’ so I had to go.”

and……"

As Eileen spoke, she flicked her wrist, raised the gentleman's cane in front of her, then gripped the shaft with one hand and the tip with the other and pulled hard.

Clang!

A flash of silvery-white light disappeared in an instant.

A rapier was hidden inside the gentleman's cane!?

Eileen twisted her wrist rapidly, and the rapier scattered silver stars in front of her.

Before Xu Ming could even see her movements clearly, she had already sheathed her rapier.

Whoosh!

Then the rose petals in the vase in front of them suddenly scattered.

Xu Ming picked up a petal and examined it carefully. His expression changed slightly.

The petals were split in two, and the cut was smooth and even.

With just that swift sword, even if Xu Ming were to get close to her, he wouldn't come out on top.

"Didn't I tell you? Dealing with three or four strong men is a piece of cake for me."

Eileen raised her head with a hint of smugness in her eyes.

Xu Ming was speechless for a moment.

Without his equipment, he probably wouldn't be a match for this Sherlock Holmes III.

Xu Ming chuckled self-deprecatingly.

That's true. Detectives in this era were not like those in later generations, who only did things like taking secret photos and catching mistresses.

They often have to face vicious murderers; if they didn't have any means of self-defense, they would have been dead long ago.

Xu Ming shrugged.

"Well, Miss Holmes, you win."

Chapter 583 Night Visit to the Monastery

Xu Ming actually didn't want to take Eileen with him to Whitechapel to fight Jack the Ripper.

In this brief encounter, Jack the Ripper clearly demonstrated a terrifying ability similar to killing in his dreams.

Ordinary people are simply easy prey in front of her.

Moreover, if Xu Ming's guess is correct, Jack the Ripper also has the ability to target women.

Eileen has all the attributes: ordinary, female, and so on.

She was completely powerless against Jack the Ripper.

However, when Xu Ming looked into Eileen's eyes, he could tell from her stubborn gaze.

Even if he rejected her, Eileen would still go to Whitechapel alone.

Xu Ming couldn't just tie her up and prevent her from going for no reason.

Since that's the case, it's better for the two of them to act together. Xu Ming can protect her whenever he wants, and she can provide Xu Ming with her wisdom.

As for whether she will be killed by Jack the Ripper...

Since we are all adults, we should naturally be responsible for the choices we make.

Therefore, Xu Ming did not interfere with Eileen's decision.

The daytime passed slowly as the two quietly prepared.

In the blink of an eye, night fell.

After a simple dinner, Xu Ming and Eileen took a carriage to the Whitechapel.

Both of them were deep in thought, and the carriage was silent.

After a while, Xu Ming broke the silence.

Who was Jack the Ripper's last target?

Eileen hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"She was a nun..."

"nun!?"

Xu Ming's eyes widened slightly, his gaze filled with surprise.

In his understanding, nuns, priests, and other clergy members were just like monks and Taoist priests in China—figures that evil spirits avoided at all costs.

But this time, Jack the Ripper's target is actually a nun?

"Could it be that the London police have made a mistake?"

Xu Ming asked cautiously.

Eileen shook her head.

According to police investigations, Sister Cheryl Thompson was a doctor before converting to Protestantism.

However, due to her pride and arrogance, she misjudged her child's condition, leading to the child's death. Afterwards, she resigned from her job as a doctor and converted to Protestantism.
