She currently attends the Whitechapel.

"This is really..."

Xu Ming was speechless for a moment.

"Since you've already asked a question, I also have a question to ask you."

As Eileen spoke, her gaze was fixed intently on Xu Ming.

"Did you discover something before Ms. Emma died?"

Did you already realize that Jack the Ripper wasn't human?

Xu Ming couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

This Miss Holmes III is incredibly perceptive.

If she were placed in the modern era and tasked with catching mistresses, she would surely succeed on every occasion.

Xu Ming nodded calmly.

"That's right, I do know a little bit of Eastern magic."

When we first arrived at the scene, I already sensed a large amount of malevolent energy remaining there, confirming that our adversary was not human, but an evil spirit.

"Then why didn't you say so sooner?"

Eileen's beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows immediately furrowed together.

Xu Ming shrugged.

"Would you believe it if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes?"

Eileen fell silent instantly.

She knew very well that what Xu Ming said was true. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that such a surreal thing as an evil spirit existed in this world.

If Xu Ming had brought it up beforehand, they probably would have thought he was crazy.

Ultimately, people will only believe what they see with their own eyes.

Before long, the carriage arrived near the Whitechapel.

The two got off the carriage.

A huge church stood in the night ahead.

Xu Ming wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but the Whitechapel, which should have been an incredibly sacred place, seemed unusually eerie at that moment.

Eileen tightened the buttons on her trench coat and waved to Xu Ming.

"let's go."

Xu Ming nodded.

The two walked side by side through the church doors.

Whitechapel is a fairly large area.

This large area is surrounded by low walls, and at the end of the stone path in the center of the lawn is the legendary White Church.

Behind the church, you can vaguely see some buildings that are shorter than the church; those are monasteries where priests, nuns, and other clergy live.

The main body of the church is a sacred place for worshipping the Lord, so naturally no one can live there.

The Sister Cheryl they were looking for lived in the monastery behind the church.

The church was completely dark at night, and the stained glass windows were dark and oppressive. Through the stained glass, one could see a bizarre and blurry world.

However, Xu Ming and Eileen were not interested in this.

They hurried past the church and followed the path to the monastery.

Eileen went up and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened a crack, and a nun in a black habit looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression through the crack.

"Hello, Sister. I am Sherlock Holmes, Special Advisor to the Metropolitan Police and a First-Class Royal Sir, Sir Erin Sherlock Holmes."

We now have confirmed information that Jack the Ripper has targeted a nun. I hope to meet her.

Eileen explained her purpose directly to her.

"Are you Sherlock Holmes III?"

The old nanny looked Eileen up and down with some curiosity.

Eileen frowned, but nodded nonetheless.

"Yes."

The old woman seemed to recall something, and her brows furrowed.

"The diocese issued a notice today, warning us to be wary of a villain who despises our Lord. Could it be...?"

Eileen nodded quickly.

"Yes, that's it!"

The old woman hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open completely.

"Please come in."

The sisters are having their evening prayers in chapel; please do not disturb them.

As the old woman spoke, she added a final, somewhat worried, word of advice.

"I will."

Eileen readily agreed and then stepped into the monastery.

Just as Xu Ming was about to follow her inside, the old nanny stopped him with a cold expression.

"I'm sorry, the convent is full of nuns, so it's not convenient for male guests."

Xu Ming had no choice but to stop and shout loudly to Eileen through the door:

"I'll stay outside and keep watch. Whatever happens...!"

"Please be quiet! This is a sacred place to serve our Lord; no loud noise is allowed!"

Xu Ming's behavior once again displeased the old nanny, who interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

The wrinkles on her forehead were so deep they could trap a mosquito.

It's really not appropriate to shout loudly outside a convent where only nuns live late at night.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Xu Ming could only shut his mouth with a dejected look.

Eileen gave Xu Ming a reassuring gesture through the old nanny to those outside the door, then walked into the monastery.

Chapter 584 The Original Sin of Pride (Part 1)

Bah!

The old woman quickly closed the monastery gates, leaving Xu Ming standing alone outside.

A gust of wind blew by, and Xu Ming immediately felt a bone-chilling cold that spread from the soles of his feet to his entire body.

He couldn't help but hug himself, trying to keep warm by doing so.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

"!"

Xu Ming was suddenly startled to realize that a thick fog had quietly enveloped the entire city of London without him noticing.

A shadow immediately fell over his face.

It's worth noting that Jack the Ripper was known for his penchant for hiding in thick fog to strike his targets.

She even has the nickname 'Murderer of the Foggy Night'.

Xu Ming immediately became alert, quietly took out his phone, and then carefully observed the surrounding scene.

Suddenly, he heard a sound coming from the thick fog in the distance, seemingly coming from the side of the monastery.

Xu Ming cautiously approached the side and was surprised to find a nun dressed in a black habit and wearing a white veil silently walking out of a small door on the side of the convent, carrying an oil lamp.

The fog gradually thickened, and Xu Ming could no longer see her face clearly.

A look of confusion immediately appeared on Xu Ming's face.

Unlike other places, monasteries have strict rules, especially regarding curfew hours at night, which prohibit nuns from going out at night.

Xu Ming instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

He quickly used his 'spiritual vision' to look at the nun.

Sure enough, the nun was enveloped in a thick layer of negative energy.

Could this nun be Jack the Ripper's last target?

Where did Eileen go? Was she killed?

Xu Ming immediately tensed up.

He quickly arrived at the monastery gate, pulled on the door knocker, and began to pound on it forcefully.

Squeak!

With a sound, the door quickly opened a crack.

The old woman peered at him through the crack in the door with an unfriendly expression.

"The monastery forbids...!"

Xu Ming forcibly interrupted the old woman before she could finish speaking.

"Where is my companion? Why hasn't she come out yet?!"

The wrinkles on the old woman's forehead had deepened.

However, she still pushed the door open, allowing Xu Ming to see the interior of the monastery, and then pointed to the monastery courtyard, saying:

"Your companion is now waiting outside the prayer room for evening prayers to end."

Xu Ming looked in the direction she was pointing and saw Eileen, dressed in a black trench coat and holding a cane, standing patiently outside a building opposite the courtyard.

Xu Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief; it was good that Eileen was alright.
