Six Hundred and Forty-Three: Jack the Ripper Reincarnated

"Since last year, in this college, people have disappeared every once in a while."

At the very beginning, Sigmund said such a thing.

"There is no connection between the missing people, not limited to men and women, and there is not even a sign of abnormality. Some even laughed and laughed with friends yesterday, and disappeared the next day."

Hearing these words, Luo Zhen and Ye Ye looked at each other.

Then, Yeye cautiously spoke out.

"Didn't you drop out voluntarily? Yeye heard that the courses in this academy are not easy at all?"

Yeye proposed such a possibility.

However, this is also what Luo Zhen wants to say.

Just like the Yin Yang School, let alone the first grade, the difficulty of the course will increase several levels in the second grade, causing the students with insufficient qualifications to be overwhelmed, and it is a reason why they can only choose to drop out of school, Walpurgis Royal Ingenuity The academy is the world's top school of magic, and the puppet masters who go out from here are almost all the talents coveted by various teams. Therefore, the courses are naturally extremely difficult, and there are definitely not many people who can graduate smoothly.

In view of this, even if someone chooses to drop out of school and leave here, that is a very normal thing.

As for the sudden disappearance instead of applying for withdrawal, it should be because of tuition fees, right?

The tuition fees here are so expensive that it is basically impossible to rely on the family to provide them alone. If it is not a country's enterprises, famous families, or even government officers, they simply cannot afford such expensive tuition fees.

For example, Luo Zhen was sponsored by Hanayusai Glass, the number one in the world of bionic dolls, to provide this tuition fee, so that he could enter the school smoothly. Otherwise, unless Akabane's family is still in this world, Luo Zhen may not be able to afford it. Can afford that.

And those companies, famous families, and the military that are extremely eager for excellent dolls will generally choose to become sponsors, find talented people through various channels, send them here for further studies, and pay for them. Fees, and when these students graduate from here, they must be loyal to them.

Under such circumstances, if they apply to withdraw from school, the sponsors behind them will definitely not agree, and will even ask the students to return the expensive tuition fees, and what's more, they may ask for compensation or liquidated damages. It may not even save your life.

Therefore, in order not to be threatened by the sponsors behind the overwhelmed students,

Therefore, it is not a strange thing to choose to disappear silently and leave this academy.

only

"It's not impossible. There were often such cases in the past, but since last year's new school year, the number of such people has increased significantly, and now there are a total of 26 people."

Sigmund spoke a little seriously.

"Moreover, the lack of connection just mentioned refers to the background and identity of the students. In fact, some of these missing persons have a great commonality."

What do they have in common?

"Their automata were all destroyed and left behind in the academy."

Sigmund said so.

"The automaton was destroyed?"

Yeye was stunned.

"I see."

Luo Zhen understood.

If the missing person really just didn't want to be troubled by the sponsor behind him, so he chose to sneak away, then he shouldn't destroy his automaton.

You should know that the automaton is the power of the puppet, and it is also an important tool for making money. Even if it is no longer used, it can be sold, and there is no reason to destroy it.

Not to mention, these students who choose to drop out of school will be almost impossible to return to society in this life after offending the sponsors behind them. Or, these actions can only be completed by their strength, and it is simply not worth the loss to damage the automatic doll.

In other words, there is obviously an anomaly behind this incident.

Coupled with the attack just now, Xia Lu blurted out the name "Magic Devourer"

"Has Jack the Ripper appeared in this academy?"

Luo Zhen murmured like this.

"It's really an apt description."

Sigmund couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Jack the Ripper".

During the two months from August 31, 1888, at least five prostitutes were killed in London, England, and a signed letter and organ fragments were sent to the newspaper, so it was called the originator of theater crime characters.

He is the most famous murderer in the world, and he is also a perfect criminal who left no conclusive evidence except his body. He has not been found out until now, and he is shrouded in mystery, regardless of race or gender. characters.

This is the reason why Luo Zhen said Jack the Ripper appeared in the academy.

"Except for the damaged automata left in the academy, there are no other traces or clues. Isn't this equivalent to being killed by Jack the Ripper?"

Luo Zhen said so.

"And the Jack the Ripper who appeared in this academy should be the so-called , right?"

exactly.

The so-called "magic devourer" refers to the mysterious assailant who attacked the students in the academy, causing the whereabouts of the students to be lost, and the automatons were destroyed.

Where those missing students ended up, no one knows.

There are also different opinions on why the other party would do such a thing.

There is only one thing that people all know by coincidence.

"The other party likes to eat automatic dolls." Sigmund said in a deep voice: "Those damaged automatic dolls will not only leave traces of being eaten, but also the magic circuits including It disappeared directly, it was like being eaten by a wild beast."

As soon as these words came out, regardless of Luo Zhen, Yeye froze all over.

"Eating Automata"

Yeye's expression looked a little ugly.

Just like humans feel uncomfortable when they hear someone eating human flesh, as an automatic doll, knowing that other dolls have been eaten must be quite uncomfortable, right?

"The mysterious assailant who eats up all the magic circuits, is that why he is called the ?" ​​Luo Zhen stroked his chin, looked at Sigmund, and said, "In other words, you Do you think it was the so-called who attacked me?"

This answer is correct.

"Although with your current limelight, it's not surprising to be attacked by someone, but if it's an attacker at the level of , the first thing that comes to mind is ." Sigmund clicked Nodding his head, he said: "The other party is someone who even the Disciplinary Commissioner and the Guards can't find any clues to follow. It can be inferred that the strength is quite high, at least it must be at the level of ."

If so, it's a bit intriguing.

Luo Zhen's mind became active.
