messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 99 What will you look like when others can't see you?

The death of Jack the Ripper did not cause much disturbance in the Fog City, because no one except his children and a limited number of people even noticed that he was dead, killed in his own on the grass at home.

When he died, there was a bitter smile on his face, not the kind of gentleness he had always had, only bitterness, facing his final farewell to this world.

He was a sinner, and no doubt he would charge money to take another's life, and even pay him to torture the dead to face death in the most miserable of ways.

But Chu Chu didn't know why, when she killed him, she was very complicated.

Maybe it was because she couldn't find the answer to what Jack asked her at the end.

What is his crime, and what is his crime.

Doesn't the city of fog operate on this rule? Doesn't the human society operate on this rule?

The strong bully the weak, and the weak bully the weaker.

It's just that everyone in the city of fog is blinded by the fog, so they are even more unscrupulous.If there is restraint, isn't it a crime?

And if murder is a crime, shouldn't I be the most heinous villain in the first place?

That's right, she was chosen as the messenger because she is the worst villain.

This city is a city of crime, and she is the worst villain.

······
The next day, the police station in the Fog City received its first callers.

They were a group of children, the older ones were standing in the lobby of the police station with the younger ones in their arms, and everyone's faces lost much of their expression.

Chu Chu still remembered the appearance of these children when she saw them for the first time. At that time, each of them had hope in their eyes, which was something that the Fog City did not have.

But now, they have become the same as other people in the Fog City, with dim eyes.

The case reported by these children was a homicide case. Their father was killed by the murderer in the fog city. They wanted the police to catch it and kill it.

When Lawrence took over the case, his expression was very complicated. He glanced at Chu beside him and understood why she left alone yesterday.

As a policeman, Lawrence took over the case, but he knew in his heart that there would be no progress in this case.

What these children have to face can only be the most helpless result.

The children left, they were very sensible and did not cause Lawrence and Chu any trouble.

In fact, they can cry, be angry, and resent, even if that is the case, no one will blame them, but they are too sensible.Even the youngest child didn't cry, but there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

They leaned close to each other silently, as if they were holding on to their last hope, and then left silently.

It's not that Jack left them nothing. The wealth he left was enough for them to continue living, but what they wanted shouldn't be that.

······
In the next few days, Lawrence often took Chu Yi to investigate Jack's house in the name of collecting clues.

The children didn't refuse either. Sometimes, they would stay with two of them for dinner. There was a little girl named Jennifer who was very good at cooking, and I heard that Jack taught her personally.

Jack's body was buried in the cemetery, and the family seemed to have returned to peace, but they still changed.

Naughty Ender no longer played football, Claude shut himself in the study almost every day, Joseph's paintings became dark and scribbled, and Emma's piano sound became hollow.

It should be the sixth day, and Lawrence handed Chu a stack of documents.

"The forces behind Jack have been found out, let's clean up this city."

As a policeman, his professional ability is still very secure. According to the limited clues left by Jack's family, he has almost found out most of the underground forces in the fog city.

Similarly, he didn't sleep for several days and nights, maybe it was because of his guilt towards those children, or maybe, he just wanted to vent the suppressed emotions in his heart.

In short, the task of cleaning the city was given to Chu, and Lawrence returned home, collapsed on the sofa and fell asleep.

Chu stood next to Lawrence who was dead asleep for a while, carried the sloppy middle-aged man onto the bed, covered him with a quilt, and then turned and went out the door.

She'll clean up, the city.

In the dark night, the black mist drifts away, and the cold moonlight hangs high in the sky, exuding a hazy pale white brilliance.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."

The dense gunfire broke the tranquility of the night, and the gunfire was endless this night.

"Concentrate your firepower, concentrate your firepower!"

A team of guards fired round after round with rifles in their hands, and the flames from the muzzles illuminated what they were shooting.

It was a pure black human figure, and every part of its body was covered in black, making it look full of unknowns and frightening.

It was definitely not a person, and the guards who shot it knew this, because they saw their bullets enter the body of the human figure, but the other party did not respond at all.

A black figure walked towards them, but the guards could only retreat again and again until the figure was in front of them, and they had no way out.

"Ah, ah, ah." A guard frantically fired at the figure, his face twisted, and he pushed bullets into the barrel again and again.

But it was just a futile resistance. With the sound of gunshots and screams, a few seconds later, in the blood-stained corridor, a black figure walked slowly.

Chu walked down the corridor to a door at the end of the corridor. The man she was going to kill tonight was one of Jack's main hires.His name is Snett, and he is also one of the main managers who controls many black market transactions.

Putting his hand on the doorknob, he pushed open the door and walked in.

In the room, Snaite turned around with his back to the door.

His face was still calm and indifferent, even in the current situation.

He looked at Chu and raised his eyes, and said with his hands behind his back.

"When Jack died, I thought you would come back to me one day, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

Chu Chu didn't reply, but walked towards Snaite slowly, the evil in his hand condensed into a knife.

"You're from Lawrence, aren't you?" Snart said.

This made Chu's footsteps pause.

Looking at Chu's appearance, Snaite already had an answer in his heart, and said lightly.

"That's my guess. If you're not Lawrence, you're someone who works for him. Because he looks like a guy who wants to change the city."

Chu still didn't speak, she continued to walk towards Snaite, raising the knife in her hand.

Snart grinned and stood still.

"He will not succeed. Maybe he can change the rules, but the essence of this city will not change, because what is shown here is human nature."

When the fog covers people's eyes, making people invisible to each other, the good will still be good, and only the evil will reveal his original face.

The crimes in the Fog City are just the exposed human nature.

"Crack!"

The blade in Chu's hand slashed across Snaite's body, blood splashed out and splashed on the empty wall.
