Chapter 2: The Hunted Grim Reaper
Chapter 2: The Hunted Grim Reaper
Tonight, the ghouls Butler and Jack hunted down a fresh and warm corpse.They believe that Professor Knox will fall in love with it after seeing it.Then, give them a sum of money.With this money, they can continue to have fun in London-drinking their bodies with wine and satisfying their desires with women.
This loathsome city stinks like the shrouds of corpses.
Butler remembers coming to London penniless and toiling on the docks for a piece of bread.Poor guy, no matter how much he sells his physical strength, after a month, he can't compare to a delicious dinner of noble gentlemen.Therefore, he thought of stealing corpses for trafficking.You know, those doctors and professors urgently need corpses for medical autopsy.Some will be hired to transport the corpse to the mysterious auditorium for on-site autopsy for the nobles to watch.
Of course, now the police station does not allow corpse trading.Unless it is an unclaimed corpse on the gallows, it can only be legally dissected.
Therefore, he thought of stealing and selling corpses.In this regard, he found his partner Jack who worked together on the dock.Hearing his plan, Jack seemed to see endless drinking, and ladies crawling on the ground to lick his shoes.
So they stole the first body and sold it to Professor Knox for £10 and 7 shillings.
God, they were having fun.The price of a dead body is more than what they got by working hard on the dock for 6 months.Greed devoured them, and after that, they stole and dug several corpses for Professor Knox.Thus, it can also be distinguished that fresh and complete corpses can often be sold at a higher price.The price of a rotten or mutilated corpse is half the price of a complete corpse.
Of course, freshly dead corpses are the most expensive.
Tonight, they hunted down a body in the East End.Professor Knox will be delighted to see it.
Carrying the corpse and avoiding the patrolling police outside, they crossed the city all the way to a building, and then went upstairs through the darkness.
Knocked on the door, and the door opened quickly.Butler said, "Good evening, Honorable Professor Knox."
The middle-aged professor in white smiled: "Good evening, gentlemen."
So, open the door.The two body snatchers deftly transported the body to the dissection room.Professor Snook lifted the cloth and took a look.
Oh, God, a beautiful teenager with freckles.His amber eyes, still open, are so attractive.Believe me, even the devil wouldn't have the heart to hurt him.
Fingers touched the boy's skin—great, the body was still warm.Apparently, the teenager suffered an indiscriminate disaster and just died.
Look at his neck, there are rope marks.
Poor little guy, must have been killed by these two bastards and sold to him in disguise as an unclaimed corpse.
Professor Snook is very satisfied.Such a perfect corpse is rare to see.
So he took out the bag containing 15 pounds and handed it to the two damned guys.After the two corpse snatchers took the money, they said goodbye to him happily: "Good night, Mr. Snoke."
They left Snoke's house.
After the two scumbags were gone, Snoke set up the dissecting apparatus.After that, he put on his gloves and started cutting off the boy's clothes with scissors.
When the boy's clothes were cut off and he was lying naked on the dissecting table, he lowered his head and kissed the boy's forehead: "My child, the light of God shines on your soul."
Then he picked up the scalpel and aimed at the boy's abdomen and cut it down.
Blood flowed out.
The boy's fingers moved.
When he continued to slash open the boy's body, the eyes of the boy with dilated pupils returned to normal.He suddenly grabbed the hand that sliced open his stomach.
Suddenly stopped by Professor Snook who grabbed his hand, he looked at the boy's face.The boy was looking at him.Snoke dropped the scalpel in fright, and then stumbled back a few steps.
Then, he saw the boy reach into the dismembered body and fiddle with it.
The boy slowly, slowly pulled out a huge sickle from his body.After the bloody sickle was drawn out, the dissected stomach slowly healed.
Professor Snook's face was contorted with horror.
"God! God!" He fell to the ground, watching the naked young man float up with a black death scythe in his hand.
The boy looked at him with eyes like amber, and then swung down the scythe.Snoke let out a desperate scream, his head was in a different place.In the dissection room, blood was spattered everywhere.
Randomly tore off a piece of clothing, and with a scythe, the boy jumped out of the window.
"Man, we're going to buy the best wine tonight!" Butler shook the money in the bag.Jack said excitedly, "Yes. As long as that kind and generous gentleman needs us, we can send no matter what kind of corpse it is."
Along the way, the two ghouls discussed what kind of prey they would hunt next.
When they walked out of the alley, a man wrapped in robes and carrying a death scythe, who fell in front of them from the sky blocked their way.
The two ghouls stopped.
"That's, that's the Death Scythe—"
"what--"
With a wave of the sickle, not only the bodies of the two corpse snatchers were harvested, but their souls were also harvested.
They died horribly, bleeding dry.
After harvesting the ghouls, the boy stabbed his body with the sickle.
Slowly, slowly, the sickle retracted into the body.The teenager wiped the sweat off his face, bent down, took out £1 from his purse, and left the alley.
On the death list, Professor Knox, Butler the Corpseman, and Jack showed after death.The Grim Reaper in black first came to Professor Nosk's home.Poor professor, his body was divided into several pieces, and his intestines flowed all over the floor.
Here, the Grim Reaper did not find Professor Knox's soul.
Afterwards, he left Professor Knox's house and found the bodies of two body snatchers in an alley not far away.Like the professor, the souls of the two were harvested and killed.
After the investigation, the young Reaper in black left the scene.
Whitman bought a set of old clothes with 10 shillings from Dean Eva.After returning to the East District, he walked through the dirty alleys and walked up to the fifth floor along the outer corridor.Then, he raised his hand and knocked on Old Gail's door: "Is Mr. Gail there?"
Old Gail opened the door and saw that it was a child from the poorhouse. He said seriously: "If the poorhouse refuses to pay for the drinks, I will not see any diseases for you."
Whitman smiled and handed over 1 pound: "Of course. This is for Mr. Gale's wine money."
Old Gail's eyes lit up, then he took the money and said, "Okay, you wait for me here." After finishing speaking, he closed the door.After a while, he came out with the medicine box.
The two went together to the poorhouse.
On the way, old Gail complained about the bad air in London, that people in the East End were villains, and that the police were useless.In his view, this sinful city has been abandoned by God, and the human beings living here have naturally been abandoned by God.
I came to the poorhouse to see the poor little fellow who was sick. Fortunately, what she had was not an infectious disease.Just a normal fever.
God bless, she saved a life.
Detective Charles, who investigates the body theft case, investigates all religious groups in London.But they didn't find out the sacrificial ceremony they were going to hold in the near future.Therefore, the case of corpse trafficking is most likely related to a certain professor or doctor who studies anatomy.
When he returned to the London police station, the patrolman told him that Professor Knox of the Edinburgh School of Medicine had been brutally murdered, and there were two other murdered people in the alley near his home.Detective Charles, who just came back, took his hat and went out again.
Arriving at Professor Noske's house, Detective Charles saw a limb at the scene.
"Oh, poor professor, let me see who killed you." So, investigate the body parts, and examine the contents of the house.
From the autopsy records he recorded, Detective Charles found that several of the corpses he dissected disappeared at exactly the same time as the corpses he was investigating.Then look at gender and age.
God!He's the dissecter who bought the corpse!
Having received the evidence, Detective Charles went to the alley to see the two poor ghosts who had been killed.
Like Professor Nosk, the two people who were killed were separated from each other.
Judging from the cuts on their bodies, it was obvious that the person who killed them and Professor Knox was the same person.In addition to this, there are bags containing money left on the side.Search them for a match from a tavern.Apparently, they had visited the tavern.Then take their feet and measure the shoe size by hand.
The size of their shoes is exactly the same as the shoe prints left in the cemetery.
This was exactly the corpse stealer he was looking for.
Through the clues of the match, he came to the tavern and met the bartender and the boss.Those two villains, they told him.Sometimes people have money to come here to drink and have fun, and sometimes they have no money, so they can buy wine on credit here.
Investigate the identities of the ghouls, and the people who do business with them.This case is considered closed.
While these three deserve hell, Detective Charles cares a lot about who killed them.
"Jeffrey, the souls of the three people killed in downtown London have been harvested."
Grim Reaper Corey, the black-haired and green-eyed Grim Reaper Walter, handed over last night's investigation to the Grim Reaper Manager Jeffrey.Wearing a monocle, Jeffrey, the God of Death with long white hair and silver eyes, took over the investigation.After reading it, he said: "Could it be that the devil ate their souls." You know, the human soul is a delicious meal for the devil.
Those filthy things lurk in the dark of London, waiting for human beings to die, to plunder and eat their souls.This undoubtedly interfered with their death work.You know, their sickle of death is to send the undead to hell for trial.
Walter sat down and said: "Dead human beings are more like being hunted to death by the scythe of death."
Jeffrey showed a surprised expression: "There is a traitor between us?" After thinking about it, it was wrong.What kind of sickle can kill human souls.
Whether it is him or Walter's sickle, they can only send human souls to hell for judgment.Therefore, it is impossible to kill the soul.
If there is a sickle capable of killing souls, it must be...
Jeffrey had a solemn expression on his face: "Walt, you must recover the Death Scythe that can kill human souls."
Walter nodded: "Of course." The sickle must be destroyed.
Ever since Whitman pushed him into the dirty Thames last time, bad guy Lawrence has been planning revenge on the little bastard.So he went to the underground casino and asked about noble gentlemen who liked boys.
After a few days of inquiry, he heard that Master Nicholas liked boys in their teens.Oh this is really awesome.Presumably, if Whitman could be sent to the noble lord, he would be able to get a reward.
So, he squatted on the road Whitman often walks.
Finally, he waited again until Whitman went out to buy bread.
He took a wooden club, walked quietly behind Whitman, and hit him on the back of the head.Whitman groaned and collapsed to the ground.
Upstairs, who saw this scene, spit at Lawrence.
The poor poorhouse orphan was finally taken away by Lawrence.
Nicholas owns three dairy farms, relying on these three farms, he successfully squeezed into the upper class life.Therefore, he understands that money can bring him more desires.Even the desire for beautiful boys in youth was released after gaining identity.
Those teenagers locked in the building by him are works of art in his collection.Some of these teenagers have just stepped into London and were tricked here, and some are orphans.Of course, what he wants most is a noble boy.But I also understand that if he takes action against the noble young master, not only will he lose his current identity, but he will also lose the farm.Therefore, he can only take action against these children who were abandoned by the Virgin Mary.
Today, the lowly Eastside humans sent him a little boy with brown hair and freckles on his face.
Oh, he likes fresh stuff.So, generously and compassionately gave that human 10 pounds.After that, send the little boy to the white window in the middle of the "birdcage".
When Whitman woke up, he found himself lying naked on a white prototype window.Around the room, there are cages one after another.In the cage, there were one naked teenager after another.There are deep and shallow traces of abuse on these teenagers.Their eyes were dull and their expressions were numb, as if their souls had been emptied.
Looking down, he found that his feet, hands and neck were shackled.
"where is this place?"
When he was about to get out of bed and leave, the door opened.
A fat Nicholas comes in naked with a whip.I was so excited when I saw that the baby on the window had woken up and had a pair of beautiful amber eyes.
The teenagers who were locked in the cage trembled in fear.They had foreseen what would become of the poor boy.
Whitman hastily retreated under the bed as Nicholas approached with a whip.
The devil-like man licked his lips and said, "My beautiful baby, come to father's arms soon."
Whitman pulled the shackles on his body and retreated step by step: "My lord, I'm just a poor wretch, please let me go."
Whitman was frightened, horrified.If he couldn't get out of this cage, he would end up in the same way as those teenagers who were locked in the cage.
Nicholas laughed "haha": "You are a collection I bought with money. So, don't try to escape from me." After speaking, the whip whipped and fell on Whitman.The poor fellow closed his eyes and it hurt, allowing Nicholas to grab him by the shackles and pull him back to the bed.
"Hahahaha" Nicholas yelled excitedly, and the dirty pillars between his straddles stood straight.He pushed the boy's head down between his legs: "My dear baby, my dear son. Take good care of your father."
Then, pinch Whitman's mouth and force him to open his mouth, intending to poke the dirty thing in his crotch.
However, the shackles that locked Whitman's body suddenly shattered and fell.Nicholas froze for a moment, and then he saw the boy stabbing his hand into his body, and then slowly and slowly pulled out a black sickle from his body.
He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he fell off the bed, his fat body trembling uncontrollably.
"devil--"
The teenagers in the cage saw that the boy who drew out the sickle floated up and went towards Nicholas.The ugly fat pig was dominated by fear, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Please spare me!"
In the cage, a young man uttered a voice of hatred: "Kill him! Kill him!" Following his words, the oppressed and insensitive teenagers beat the cage: "Kill him! Kill him!"
Following the voices of hatred from the teenagers, the black sickle swung down.When the sickle was about to harvest Nicholas' life.A figure flashed over, and with a "clang", two sickles crossed past.
It was the red-haired Grim Reaper who was in charge of this area and saw Nicholas' death today from the list.After blocking the boy's scythe, he showed a happy smile: "You are the one who kills human souls. Oh, oh, you look like a human. I really want to know who lives in this body of yours."
Two men with scythes fighting in a birdcage.
The teenagers who couldn't see the red-haired god of death, only heard the sparks and sounds from the intersection of the scythes, they were restless, trembling, and crying.But Nicholas wanted to take this opportunity to escape.
The boy swung his scythe, and the wind blade from the scythe sliced off the cage.The teenagers who had been imprisoned for many years were finally able to escape from the cage.Watching Nicholas escape.Extremely resentful, they took what they could use as weapons and went to Nicholas.
The red-haired Reaper who saw this scene said: "You saved them. What a good guy. However, you killed the human soul. It is an unforgivable crime. Of course, if you are willing to give me the scythe, I will replace it." You begged."
The boy swung his sickle, and the red-haired Reaper resisted.
He discovered that the holder of the death scythe with human breath is very powerful. With a "clang", the death scythe in his hand broke.The young man swung his sickle and nailed him to the round white bed.He opened his mouth, and blood spurted out.
The boy slowly withdrew the scythe from his chest, and then walked to Nicholas who was crushed to death by the boys.
Under the sickle, the soul is completely dead.
Putting the sickle back into his body, the boy retrieved his clothes and left the cage.
On the bed, the red-haired Grim Reaper moved.Then he got up slowly, and jumped out of the birdcage with the roof.When he saw the god of death rushing over, he covered the wound on his chest with one hand while reaching out for help: "Help me quickly."
However, the other party raised his sickle and reaped his life.
He widened his eyes—it turned out that he was the traitor lurking in the Grim Reaper.
He smiled and fell from the sky onto a certain street in London.
