Zongman: Beginning and Snow under the Rain Escape from Raccoon City

Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly looked up, and for the first time, his lifeless, dead-fish eyes showed a violent fluctuation in front of Ye Hai.

He needs to confirm one thing.

Was it he who caused the deaths of Mary and the others?

A knowing look appeared on Ye Hai's face: "I can't answer whether you are or aren't."

"But there is one thing I can tell you, which is that after the Lord God sent you to this world, no matter where you are or what you do."

"The world's will will gradually begin to reject you, whether actively or passively, and all sorts of troubles will find you."

"And this situation will only get worse over time."

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Ye Hai said all he had to say.

"..."

Hachiman Hikigaya didn't reply. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. Sure enough, if he hadn't stayed at Marie's house, they would definitely still be alive and well now.

"I'd like to borrow something from you."

Hachiman Hikigaya raised his head, his dead fish eyes suddenly becoming unusually sharp.

"take it."

As if anticipating what Hachiman Hikigaya was about to say, Ye Hai pulled out the R1895 revolver that had once been pressed against Jack the Ripper's forehead and handed it to Hachiman Hikigaya.

Chapter 81 Jack the Ripper reappears

"Thank you."

Hachiman Hikigaya took the gun and turned to leave.

"Hey, take it easy, don't kill yourself."

"You have to live to have a chance to resurrect that little Mary later."

Hachiman Hikigaya didn't react at all to the first half of Ye Hai's sentence, but the second half made him turn around instantly.

He rushed back excitedly, grabbed Ye Hai's shoulders, and asked, "Resurrection?"

"What do you mean? Is it possible for people to be resurrected in this world?"

Ye Hai was so dizzy from being shaken that he slapped away Hachiman Hikigaya's hand and said, "You'll have to go back and ask the main god. Anyway, he used to brag that there was nothing in this world he couldn't do."

Ye Hai didn't search, so how would he know if it exists?

However, he guessed that there was a high probability that it was.

This supreme god must have infiltrated countless worlds before; surely some of those worlds possess the means of resurrection?

"Is this so..."

A glimmer of hope rekindled in Hachiman Hikigaya's eyes.

However, this does not prevent him from doing what he is doing now.

He wanted to find that bastard Jack the Ripper first and tear him to pieces.

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya had left, Ye Hai didn't linger any longer; he needed to go and collect the remaining gold.

……

The afternoon sun slanted across the dock area, the air carrying the salty scent of the sea breeze, mixed with the smells of wood and fish.

"boom--"

An old warehouse by the dock suddenly exploded. The shockwave from the C4 explosion sent planks, bricks, and metal fragments flying everywhere. Flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke rose into the air like a black dragon.

The force of the explosion shook the ground, and the dockworkers panicked and fled in all directions. Screams and chaotic shouts could be heard in the distance, and half of London seemed to be stunned by the sudden loud noise.

The warehouse ruins burned fiercely in the flames, and wood chips and ashes fell like dust in the sunlight. The explosion center had been reduced to a charred wasteland, and the place where goods were once piled up was now only filled with twisted metal and broken bricks.

"Tsk, there's not even a corpse left. This C4 is really powerful."

Ye Hai's eyes lit up as he looked at the scene; these modern technological products were indeed useful.

Even someone like him, who had unlocked the first-order gene lock, couldn't withstand this.

I don't know what level it would take to withstand such destructive power.

Ye Hai thought that someone should have designs on his gold, and he was already surprised that no one was following him that day.

As expected, when they went to exchange the currency again, a group of fools followed them in the dark.

Meanwhile, on the streets of Whitechapel, Hachiman Hikigaya, with the R1895 revolver given to him by Yoshihiro hidden at his waist, walked coldly through the crowd.

The distant explosion made him pause, but he didn't stop. His mind was filled with the obsession to find Jack the Ripper and avenge Little Mary and the landlady.

"How do we find that guy...?"

A thoughtful look flashed across Hachiman Hikigaya's eyes; this guy was like a headless fly, really hard to find.

He only has about twenty days left, and he must find Jack the Ripper and kill him within that time.

Otherwise, he would have no chance when the time came to return to the main world.

He suddenly remembered Ye Hai's words—the world's will would reject him, and trouble would follow one after another.

Hachiman Hikigaya narrowed his eyes, a bold idea popping into his mind: instead of searching aimlessly, why not lure the snake out of its hole?

Hachiman Hikigaya took a deep breath and decided to go back to the bakery first.

Jack's target that night was clearly him, indicating that the other party had already set their sights on him.

As long as he continues to operate in the Whitechapel district, Jack will reappear sooner or later.

He touched the revolver at his waist to make sure it was still there, and his eyes became even more determined: "I don't believe you won't come out even if I walk around in front of you every day."

As for why he stayed in the bakery, well, it's because Jack the Ripper knew the place.

If Jack the Ripper discovers that Hachiman Hikigaya is still active here, he will inevitably come after him again.

Over the next few days, Hachiman Hikigaya continued his usual life.

Go to the dock to buy flour, then transport it back and sell it in smaller quantities.

They used to sell bread when the proprietress and Little Mary were still around.

Hachiman Kobikiya can't make bread.

So they simply switched to selling only flour.

They kept all the unsold stock for themselves.

Police visited the house a second time to inquire about clues, but they still couldn't find any trace of Jack the Ripper.

Including Mary and the landlady, Jack the Ripper has now killed seven people.

The London police are also under a lot of pressure.

Newspapers have even begun to question whether they are all useless.

It just goes to show how outspoken newspapers are these days.

They completely disregarded the feelings of the police.

However, Hachiman Hikigaya did not have any additional clues to provide them.

One evening at dusk, the setting sun in the dock area dyed the sea a golden red.

Hachiman Hikigaya led a horse-drawn carriage loaded with two bags of flour, deliberately slowing his pace as he walked along the path beside the dock.

He no longer rides in the carriage, fearing that if he goes too fast, Jack the Ripper won't be able to see him.

Hachiman Hikigaya led the carriage into a narrow alley.

These days, he likes to walk through secluded alleys, afraid that if there are too many people around, Jack the Ripper won't dare to look for him.

...... ... ....

Today, his efforts have finally yielded some results.

A pair of cold, sinister eyes were hidden in the darkness at the end of the alley, silently watching him, the folding knife in its hand gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

Jack the Ripper has indeed been attracted.

Jack licked his chapped lips, a sinister smile creeping across his face. He'd missed one kill last time, but he wouldn't miss another this time.

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was walking forward with his head down.

Jack emerged from the shadows like a ghost, his footsteps so light they were almost silent, and thrust his folding knife straight at Hachiman Hikigaya's back.

He moved swiftly, the tip of his knife flashing a cold light in the setting sun, aimed directly at his target with murderous intent.

However, just as the tip of the blade was about to touch Hachiman Hikigaya, he suddenly dodged to the side, as if he had a premonition.

The blade grazed his coat, tearing only a strip of fabric with a soft hissing sound.

Hachiman Hikigaya turned around quickly, a sharp glint in his eyes. His right hand reached for his waist, drawing his R1895 revolver, the muzzle pointing directly at the attacker.

"It's really you!"

Hachiman Hikigaya gritted his teeth and growled, his voice filled with suppressed anger.

That bastard! These days, he's been forcing himself to be on high alert every day, even when he's sleeping, he has to keep himself in a half-asleep, half-awake state, just so he can retaliate at any time.

Now, he's finally got his chance.

Jack the Ripper missed his target, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes, but he quickly sneered, "Not bad, kid, but you're still going to die!"

Chapter 82 Hachiman Hikigaya's Revenge

He did not back down. He deftly flipped the folding knife in his hand, assumed an offensive stance, and pounced again.

Hachiman Hikigaya didn't give him a chance and decisively pulled the trigger. "Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the bullet cut through the air, heading straight for Jack's chest.

Jack reacted quickly, rolling to the side. The bullet grazed his shoulder and struck the alley wall, sending up a spray of sparks and pebbles.

"Damn, how does this kid have a gun?"

He cursed under his breath and, taking advantage of the moment when Hachiman Hikigaya adjusted his gun, quickly darted toward a pile of wooden crates on the side of the alley, attempting to use the terrain for cover.

His gun was a complete waste; it was out of bullets and was no better than a hammer.

I've been so busy hiding from the police these days that I haven't had time to make money to buy bullets.

Hachiman Hikigaya pursued relentlessly, loosening the reins of the carriage and bringing it to a stop. He gripped his gun with both hands and calmly aimed at the direction where Jack was hiding.

"You can't run away!"

　"937," Hachiman Hikigaya's voice was low.

He was consumed by a burning rage for revenge against Little Mary and the landlady, and he would never let that beast escape again.

He moved forward cautiously, his ears listening for any slight movement behind the wooden box.

Meanwhile, not far away on the other side, Ye Hai leaned against a wall, arms crossed, intently sensing the standoff with great interest.

Seeing Jack the Ripper appear, he chuckled and muttered, "This kid really has guts, daring to go head-to-head with Jack. Tsk, saves me a lot of trouble."

Eriri is also an anchor point this time. If Hachiman Hikigaya doesn't deal with Jack the Ripper...

It seems that Jack the Ripper will eventually come after Eriri.

Ye Hai will have to step in then.

If Hachiman Hikigaya can deal with Jack the Ripper now, then there shouldn't be any trouble in the remaining week.

Ye Hai stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"You can't escape, Jack!"

Hachiman Hikigaya roared again, his voice echoing through the narrow alley.
