What should I do? I am going to die here?
Hula la——
At this moment, an unnatural sound suddenly came from the sound of the wind passing by my ears due to the high-speed train.
That was the sound of cloth being blown by the wind, accompanied by heavy leather boots stepping on steel plates and beautiful music played by an accordion.
"Be careful of Jack the Ripper~ He is waiting for you on the road at night~ If you don't want to die~ What should you do~ You have to be covered in blood~"
A strange singing voice came from behind him. Before Serabel could look back, the man playing the accordion had already passed by him on the top of the train, singing.
He was a homeless man with a ragged body, untidy beard and messy hair.
What the hell?
Serabelle was startled.
Although the gap between the rich and the poor in London a hundred years ago was huge and homeless people were very common, it was a huge problem for a homeless person to appear on top of a train running at full speed.
What's more, he was playing the accordion and singing, and looked like a down-and-out minstrel.
But even in the game, shouldn't this type of NPC only appear after the dungeon is cleared, and be responsible for repairing equipment and selling supplies to adventurers?
"Alright, alright, uncle, please stop singing. You came at a bad time, but you can also say it's the right time. So do you have any red or blue medicine? If you have any, I'll take them all."
Serabelle used her money power without any restraint, after all, she still had a lot of gold coins stolen from Colonel Monlang.
Then he thought for a moment and pointed at Jack the Ripper not far away and added.
"Don't sell it to him. He's a poor bastard with no money. I can pay double."
"Uh……"
As if shocked by the extremely capitalist speech of the young man in front of him, the down-and-out bard even stopped playing the accordion and scratched his face in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, but I'm just a homeless man. I don't have the things you said... But I also said that if you want to survive, you have to be covered in blood."
"Covered in blood?"
"Yes, covered in blood."
Serabelle asked back in disbelief, and the destitute bard repeated it affirmatively.
"Okay, I understand. It's nothing for you to do now."
Serabelle waved his hand lazily to signal ordinary people to leave, but after a little thought he took out a small handful of gold coins from his windbreaker and stuffed them into the pocket of the down-and-out bard.
"These are all given to you. They are of no use to me anymore."
“Thank you for your patronage~”
The down-and-out bard saluted in a proper manner, then turned around and walked back, continuing to play the accordion, singing his own song as he walked. Finally, his figure disappeared like ink in a gust of wind.
As mysterious as he came.
Covered in blood...
Serabelle took a deep breath, and when she exhaled it was light and soothing.
He looked up at Jack the Ripper in front of him, whose strength had almost recovered. Each of them saw each other's reflection in their eyes.
"It's time to end..."
Just like at the beginning of the battle, Serabelle switched the staff sword from her right hand to her left hand, gathered all her remaining strength in her arms, strode forward, and even stumbled a little as she launched the final charge towards Jack the Ripper.
There is no back-up plan, no deception, just the simplest and most direct approach... just do it!
The whistling wind blew past my ears, and the figure in front became clearer and clearer.
Pfft!
At the end of the charge was a dagger, which easily pierced Serabelle's heart without any obstruction.
At the same time, Serabelle's right hand rested on Jack the Ripper's back, as if she was giving a warm hug to an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time.
No, if you insist on calling it a hug it would be too bloody. There is no such crazy hug in the world.
Because at the moment when Jack the Ripper cut open Serabelle's heart, the staff sword in the latter's left hand had already pierced diagonally downward from the neck where the bulletproof vest could not protect it, and pierced through both lungs.
The gushing blood soaked each other.
"This way, you won't be able to escape..."
Chapter 348 Because You Didn’t Meet the Beautiful Blonde Sister
"……cough!"
Finally, it was Serabelle who could no longer hold on. She coughed up a large mouthful of blood, and her right arm, which was around Jack the Ripper's neck, slipped off, and she fell to the ground.
With his heart damaged, he wouldn't be able to utter a few words if it happened in reality.
But now he is in the game, and according to Master Tong's will, he can transcend the laws of the system, so he can still survive for a while longer.
Of course, the same thing happened with Jack the Ripper.
The human body is an incredibly sophisticated machine, but it is also incredibly fragile.
No matter how well you take care of yourself or how strong you exercise, if your vital parts are accidentally injured, you will die.
Even if you're just walking on the road and accidentally step on a banana peel and hit the back of your head.
All the advantages that Jack the Ripper had accumulated in the early stages through his equipment and physical fitness were shattered by Serabelle's final fatal blow.
"Why……"
Jack the Ripper spoke in a low voice, and now every time he spoke a word he would spit out a mouthful of blood.
He knelt on the ground weakly on his knees and raised his head with difficulty. The breath of death gradually began to permeate his blood-stained eyes, but the resentment in them had not diminished in the slightest.
“We shouldn’t have ended up like this.”
"…Then what do you think the ending should be?"
Serabelle coughed up blood again.
Just like before, Conan and Hattori Heiji immediately turned into white light and dissipated after suffering fatal injuries, but he is still alive now, which means that the system has determined that he has successfully completed the game, and now it is just a dialogue scene specially arranged by the game script.
It's probably similar to how in Assassin's Creed, every time the protagonist kills a boss, a specific scene will appear for them to talk to each other.
"We are the same! I am you and you are me!"
The light in Jack the Ripper's eyes dimmed little by little, but he tried his best to open his empty eyes wide and make powerful sounds. The creepy scene was like an wronged soul crawling out from the abyss and cursing loudly.
"We are all children abandoned by our parents on the streets! We can only survive in this shitty and muddy world by staining our hands with blood! It is only natural for us to take revenge on this world, isn't it! "
"It's a fart..."
Serabelle swore rarely, rolled her eyes and said weakly.
"Besides, how are we the same? When I was five years old, I was sitting in a KFC with air conditioning and eating hamburgers, while you were still eating shit in a garbage dump when you were a teenager. Tell me, how are we the same? Hmm?"
"……What!?"
Jack the Ripper was stunned. He couldn't believe what he heard.
Well, although this statement is a bit exaggerated... Serabelle thought.
That hamburger he had when he was five years old was the first hamburger he had ever eaten in his life.
It was invited by Akai Mary.
But, just tell me whether you ate it or not.
"By the way, do you want to know what the essential difference between you and me is?" Serabel suddenly asked.
Without waiting for Jack the Ripper to answer, he continued.
"That is - the one who picked you up was Moriarty, an old pervert who only taught you to commit murder and crimes and used you as a tool, while the one who picked me up was a beautiful blonde with a kind heart and a cold and beautiful older sister who gave me a place to stay."
"As for why this happened, I think it's probably because you're too ugly, otherwise you wouldn't have waited until you were a teenager to be picked up by Moriarty."
? ? !
These words were so heartbreaking that Jack the Ripper's consciousness paused for a moment.
Serabelle saw the opportunity and, with the last bit of strength coming from somewhere, he leaped forward with both hands, grabbed Jack the Ripper by the throat and pressed him to the ground, while with his other hand he grabbed the handle of the knife that was stuck in the latter's shoulder socket.
Then pull it out with force!
The boiling blood spurted out wildly in an instant, and before the Ripper lost consciousness, he heard the boy's voice again in the wind.
"I told you, we are different. I have people waiting for me to go back, but you... Jack the Ripper, you have no place to go back to."
[Jack the Ripper has been hunted]
[Congratulations on clearing the dungeon "100 Years of London"]
As the game completion prompt popped up, Serabelle could no longer hold on and fell down with her head tilted back.
What followed was endless darkness.
……
When she regained consciousness and opened her eyes, Serabel found herself back at the original white circular square.
All the injuries and fatigue disappeared, like waking up after a long sleep. The world has never been so clear in my senses, as if every detail is visible.
"You finally woke up."
A familiar voice of a young football player came from beside me.
Serabelle supported himself and sat up, turning his head to look, and it was Hideki Moroboshi who he had thrown into the car before the decisive battle on the roof.
"Oh, you're still here, Moroboshi... Oh no, it would be more appropriate to call you Noah's Ark, right?"
"Haha, you found out. When did you find out?"
"It was a little late. It was during the final battle with Jack the Ripper that the system told me that I was the last surviving player."
Serabelle shrugged.
"But I remember clearly leaving you in the carriage. It's not possible that you slipped and fell off the train, right? In other words, the reason why I am the last player is because the other player is not a real player."
"That's it."
Hideki Moroboshi did not hide anything. He chuckled softly and his figure became blurred. He quickly changed from a twelve-year-old boy to a slightly younger ten-year-old boy. Even his hairstyle and clothes became more childish.
Serabelle thought for a moment and said, "As I recall... you are the one called Zetian..."
Hiroki Sawada, he remembered this name from Conan, who said he was the builder of Noah's Ark.
Although I have never met him in person or even seen his photo, now that the artificial intelligence program appears in human form, I think it is also using the image of its creator.
"Hiroki is Hiroki, and I am me." Noah's Ark smiled, "You should just call me Noah's Ark."
"Ok."
Serabelle nodded and looked around. They were still the only two people in the huge square.
"So the other contestants..."
"They're all already preparing to log out because you finished the game."
When talking about this matter, Noah's Ark scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
"In fact, even if everyone fails to pass the level, I won't really kill everyone."
"...Then why did you say that at the time?" Serabelle asked.
"That's... I just want everyone to take this game more seriously."
Noah's Ark's expression became even more embarrassed, and his eyes were evasive, like a child who had done something wrong.
Although he is indeed a child.
At this point, Noah's Ark lowered his head slightly.
"I always work hard, so even if it's just one chance, I want to play games happily with everyone."
Although he said that he was himself and Hiroki was Hiroki, when he talked about Hiroki Sawada's life, he used the term "I".
"Haha~"
Serabelle blinked expressionlessly, but couldn't help complaining in her heart.
Oh, that’s a great point, so why don’t you register an online gaming account?
