Undead Requiem

Chapter 4: "Bob the Butcher"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"Sophie, who had just returned home, saw the dismembered bodies of her father and mother.

Her screams attracted kind neighbors, who saw the disgusting scene and were scared to death.

The black-clothed Grim Reaper floating in the middle of the room looked at Sophie ridiculously, like looking at a dirty mouse.He took off the sickle earring on his left ear and tossed it, and the sickle earring turned into a huge death sickle.

The sickle was swung, and the two souls left in the room were sent to hell.

Detective Charles received the alarm and rushed to Sophie's house.The poor woman was temporarily unable to speak because of the shock.Let the patrolman take her back to the Metropolitan Police, and Detective Charles sealed off the scene for investigation.

From the modus operandi, and the letter "B" left behind, he concluded that it was "Bob the Butcher" who mutilated the two poor souls.

Detective Charles tries to comfort bereaved Sophie in the Metropolitan Police interrogation room.

"Miss Sophie, I'm sorry about what happened tonight."

The woman whose eyes were swollen from crying finally found her mouth.

"Detective Charles, please tell me the truth."

"It's 'Bob the Butcher.'"

After hearing this, Sophie burst into tears.

"Miss Sophie, in the name of God, I will seize this notorious villain with my own hands."

"Thank you, Detective Charles." Sophie apologized through tears.

The next day, all the newspapers in London reported that reporter Sophie's parents were dismembered and killed by "Bob the Butcher".Some people say that this is revenge for Sophie.This female reporter is only tracking down "Bob the Butcher", trying to expose his true colors, that's why her parents were killed.

On the third day, people saw Sophie's autograph column in "The Times"."Bob the Butcher," she said, was the devil.He wanted to use this method to force her to back down, but for the sake of her murdered relatives, she would investigate to the end, and one day, she would reveal his true face with her own hands.

"She's a strong woman and God bless her."

"Because of her report, I can know that there is a terrible murderer lurking in London. I hope the tax thieves can arrest him as soon as possible and send him to the gallows."

"Sophie was great, she did things we dared not do."

In London, everyone supports Sophie and abuses the London police as wimps and tax thieves.

After the funeral for her parents, Sophie quickly recovered from her grief and returned to the newspaper to resume journalism.

That Mr. Death is watching him.

Whitman said inwardly.

After entering autumn, the weather starts to get colder.Dean Eva would not spend money to stockpile coal and timber.So let him take the children over ten years old to cross London Bridge to collect wood outside the city to prepare for the coming winter.

Today, they crossed London Bridge along yesterday's route to pick up wood all the way outside the city.Slowly, the basket behind him was filled with wood.The little ones were obviously so tired that they wanted to cry, but they still swallowed back their tears.

Whitman takes their weight on himself.

One back and one back, one day, they picked up wood twice.The black death who followed Whitman for a day said: "They are your burden."

Whitman kept his eyes fixed and smiled, as if he hadn't seen him, and didn't speak.

When several children were crossing London Bridge with timber on their backs, a nobleman's carriage lost control and crashed all the way from the end of the bridge to the end of the bridge.The children who were walking to the middle of the bridge were frightened and their steps became chaotic.

Whitman hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!" Looking at the arc, that terrible carriage should not hit them.But a 10-year-old kid ran in fright, and ran right into the path of the crazy carriage.Whitman lowered the timber behind him.Then roll to save the child who was trampled by the horse.

But it was still a step too late.

Although he hugged the child, but now he is completely unable to avoid the trampling of the horse.

As the horse stepped onto Whitman, Walt flew in front of the horse, and he held out his hand.Use Reiatsu to subdue out-of-control horses.Then, with a wave of his hand, the carriage fell sideways to the ground.

Whitman and the child in his arms escaped unharmed.With the baby in her arms, she couldn't help crying.The other children shouldered aside the timber that had fallen in the middle of London Bridge.

They did not continue on the road until Whitman comforted the crying child.

As for the overturned carriage, the aristocrat and his horse inside had already fainted.

Back at the poorhouse, Dean Eva asked them to pile up the wood in the kitchen, and told them: "You must pick up the first snow to survive the cold winter."

Whitman said, "Yes, Dean."

Every winter, many people freeze to death in the East End of London.The poorhouse was their safe haven, and this winter, as last year, was a slog to get through.

At night, before going to bed, Ellen Jr. said, "Whitman, I'm afraid."

Whitman gave up the space in the bed, and little Allen got out of his bed, got into his quilt, and hid in his arms: "Whitman, Dean Eva said, if we step out of the poorhouse , will be killed by 'Bob the Butcher'."

Whitman touched his little head: "Detective Charles will catch 'Bob the Butcher'."

Little Alan grabbed the clothes on his chest tightly: "Every time you go out, Alan is so afraid that you won't come back."

Because there is no older child to watch over, Dean Eva warns them that if they leave the poorhouse, they will be killed by "Bob the Butcher" in order to prevent the remaining children from running around.

And every time the big kids go out with their panniers on their backs, they are always afraid that "Bob the Butcher" will kill Whitman and them.

Whitman comforted the terrified little Allen: "Little Allen, you are a brave child. Remember the warrior who defeated the dragon?"

"Alan remembers."

"Warriors have courage and strength, so they don't flinch in the face of powerful enemies."

"Then can little Allen become as brave as a warrior?"

"of course."

"After that ten years old, Allen will take care of the little ones like Whitman."

"Yes, you can."

Little Allen's inner fear of "Bob the Butcher" faded a lot.While listening to Whitman, he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Over the poorhouse, the god of death in black took off the sickle earring on his left ear and threw it, and the sickle earring turned into a huge sickle of death.Then fly over London, and then go to the dying humans.

This evening, he again witnessed the massacre and dismemberment of a bakery owner by "Bob the Butcher".

In the bakery, Walter waited for the moment when the owner of the bakery died. "Bob the Butcher" frantically dismembered the bakery owner's body with a knife.

The bakery owner, whose mouth was covered, wanted to make a sound, but couldn't.He stared at "Bob the Butcher", and two lines of blood and tears flowed out from the burst blood vessels in his eyes.

"Bob the Butcher" was someone he knew.

This terrible devil turned out to be by our side all the time.

When the bakery owner took his last breath, Walter swung his sickle, severed the connection between soul and body, and sent him to hell.

Finally, "Bob the Butcher" writes a curse on Sophie in the blood of the bakery's main stream, and heralds the next killing.If she didn't find him before the next massacre, something huge and tragic would happen.

The next day, the news that the owner of the bakery was mutilated hit the news, and his murder announcement undoubtedly brought panic to the people of London.Because they knew that the target of this demon might be themselves.

In the bakery, Detective Charles watched the disgusting scene.So he decides to send patrols to protect Sophie, lest she be killed by "Bob the Butcher".

At Scotland Yard, Sophie weeps over the bakery owner's death but rejects Charles' advice.Then, left the police station.

Sophie's interview notes are accidentally left behind.

Picking up the record book that recorded "Bob the Butcher", Charles looked at the text he left at the scene.Trying to find important clues from it.

In the notebook, he picked it up and saw that it was the record of her news interview.

Oh what a good reporter.

But misfortune accompanies her, and a curse traps her in a cage.

Read on, and her description of "Bob the Butcher."

He is cruel, cold and merciless.Even if he is abandoned by God, the devil in hell will not tolerate him.So, he came to the world with hatred and made the humans in Dunlon fear him.He was bound to cause a stir, and then blaspheme, and become a truly terrifying Grim Reaper.

After reading it, Detective Charles saw the date at the end of the article.

Last night's "Bob the Butcher" murder announcement undoubtedly brought a deeper depression to the foggy London.Even the most asshole villain in the East End would not dare to go out at night easily.

Today, Whitman took seven children over the age of 10 out to collect wood.On the way, they talked about "Bob the Butcher."

The black-haired Grim Reaper, who has been with Whitman, said: "Last night, I saw 'Bob the Butcher' dismember the body of the bakery owner."

From the moment he appeared in front of the boy, the boy turned a blind eye to him and pretended not to see him.Was it because he was so ugly, Walter thought?

No, he's looked in the mirror, and he's a handsome Death.

A mysterious short black hair, a pair of eyes like emeralds.Even Geoffrey wanted to cut out his eyes and hang them on his chest as a necklace.

This young man not only saw the demon who was cut in half, but also saw him.

But afterwards, he was very indifferent to him, and pretended not to see him.

He is obviously a gentle kid, but he is unkind to him.

What is he afraid of?Are you afraid that he will reap his life?

No, even if his beautiful eyes could see the god of death, the list of dead in his hand did not include him.Moreover, he is not the only one who can see the god of death in this world.He remembered that the young bishop in Westminster Abbey on the north bank of the Thames could see death and demons, as well as human souls.

That sacred place is disgusting to the gods of death.Because, the Holy Light will burn them.

Whitman was very embarrassed, and was stared at by the black god of death. He kept trying to harass him in various ways, forcing him to admit that he could see the god of death.

This god of death is really annoying.

Pretending not to hear Walt, Whitman laughed and talked with the children, and led them across London Bridge to gather timber.Today, when they were picking up wood, they ran into the young bishop of Westminster Abbey on the North Shore, John, who was sitting in a white carriage.

The bishop, who had helped the poorhouses, could recognize them.When he saw the death in black beside Whitman, he stopped the carriage and walked over.

Seeing him, the god of death in black frowned and showed a disgusted expression.

The children surrounded Bishop Jorn and received the bishop's blessing.The children showed happy expressions happily.Finally, Jon took off the cross from his neck and put it on Whitman's neck: "Dear Whitman, if you need me, you can always come to Westminster Abbey to find me."

Whitman smiled gratefully: "Bishop John, thank you for your mercy."

After bidding farewell to the children, Bishop Jorn returned to the carriage and continued to the British royal family.

After the obnoxious bishop exuded the holy white light, Walt reached out to touch Whitman, but was shaken away.The cross around Whitman's neck protects him from death.

"The priests are all hypocrites," Walt said in Whitman's ear.

Whitman continued to pick up lumber as if he hadn't heard it.

How to make him admit his existence?This is a distressing thing.

Now, the most famous reporter in London is Sophie.Because of her report on "Bob the Butcher", she completely angered the other party, and then her family members were brutally killed.After that, a massacre notice was issued.The London police have thus become synonymous with "waste".

Terrible negative reviews, bringing a bad name to the London Police.

But Detective Charles, who was in charge of the case, was very calm.Because, he has grasped important clues.When "Bob the Butcher" commits his next brutal massacre, he's sure to show up and apprehend the feared villain.

Today, because her colleague was sick, Sophie had to come to the Eastern Poor House for an interview instead of her.

Sophie has always known the tricks of the poorhouse. As long as their suffering is written in the newspaper, the philanthropists of the upper class will generously donate to them.In Sophie's view, the poorhouse is nothing more than taking advantage of poor children and then "blackmailing" kind people for relief.And those children are puppets in the hands of the director of the poorhouse.

When entering the East District, the smell from here made it difficult for her to breathe smoothly.On the way, someone recognized her.They praised him and tried to use her to report on the state of the East Side.Sophie declined the other party with a perfect smile.

It is not a wise move to get involved with people from the East End.

When she came to the poorhouse, Dean Eva warmly entertained her.The children hiding under the trees in the yard looked curiously at the woman who had an affair with "Bob the Butcher".Unavoidably causing trouble to the guests, Whitman used the game to attract the children's attention away.

"Good Miss Sophie, winter is coming. The children in the poorhouse want to have a warm Christmas. If you can show mercy and convey the wishes of the children to the hearts of kind people. Believe, God will always bless them."

"Of course, Dean Eva."

From this stingy woman, Sophie heard the insatiable greed.

Walter looked at Sophie with a look of disgust on his face.

He took out the book of the dead. Since the book was opened, no names had floated up.It can be seen that no one died tonight.

After collecting news at the poorhouse, Sophie bids farewell to the return agency.

Another night of fright.

In his drowsy consciousness, Whitman had a nightmare.He dreamed that there was a black snake spitting out letters wrapped around his body, trying to strangle him.He opened his eyes slowly as his head hurt from hitting the wall.Only then did he realize that he was not entangled by the black snake, but tied up.

Not only him, but all the children in the poorhouse were gagged, tied up and still eating in the auditorium.Moreover, Dean Eva and Sister Emma, ​​who had just woken up, looked in horror at the man standing in front of them with an axe.

It's "Bob the Butcher"!

"Bob the Butcher" held his ax up and smiled wildly: "Hahahaha..."

Then, step by step towards Dean Eva.

Dean Eva was trembling with fear, and kept backing up on her feet.

The other waking children cried when they saw "Bob the Butcher" approaching Dean Eva with an axe.When "Bob the Butcher" cut off Eva Dean's left leg with the axe, Whitman stood up and knocked Bob the Butcher away. The ax in "Bob the Butcher" flew out of his hand.

The furious "Bob the Butcher" kicked Whitman away and retrieved the axe.Then, picking up Whitman: "Damn little villain! Let's start with you tonight!"

After speaking, put Whitman on the long table.

The other kids were terrified when they saw "Bob the Butcher" swing an ax and dismember Whit.

From the beginning to the end, the God of Death in black floated over the auditorium and watched, not intercepting "Bob the Butcher".

When the ax in the hand of "Bob the Butcher" fell on Whitman's leg.

There was a "bang" gunshot, and the ax in the hand of "Bob the Butcher" was blown away.

Detective Charles then led patrol officers into the auditorium.

"'Bob the Butcher,' Ms. Sophie, you are under arrest tonight for manslaughter."

Sophie, who was revealed the truth, widened her eyes in disbelief.

Why, why did Detective Charles know she was Bob the Butcher?All along, playing the victim, no one has ever suspected her.After each crime, she was able to escape perfectly, what loopholes did she leave behind?

Seeing what she was thinking, Detective Charles said, "Miss Sophie, your interview notes tell me the truth."

Sophie shook her head wildly: "Impossible!"

Detective Charles revealed the truth and said: "In your notebook, you described 'Bob the Butcher' as a cruel man. Then, as a reporter's habit, you left a date after describing 'Bob the Butcher'. This date, before 'Bob the Butcher' appeared in London."

So, "Bob the Butcher" is a monster that Sophie made, and she played the monster.Even, in order to clear the charge, he personally killed his father and mother.This creates a stir and makes her and "Bob the Butcher" even more famous.

Not only that, but Detective Charles also found out that before the case of "Bob the Butcher", Sophie was a mediocre and ineffective reporter, even facing the danger of losing her job.Therefore, anxiety and dissatisfaction occupied her heart.She needs a sensational news, so that people all over London can remember her and regard her as a hero.

So, she became "Bob the Butcher".

As she wrote, she is cold, ruthless, cruel, violent, and gets pleasure from killing people.She felt good watching the London police scrambling around trying to catch "Bob the Butcher."

But now, it's all over.

Just because of a customary recorded date.

It was she who sent herself to the gallows.

"Bob the Butcher" is Sophie.

There was a sensation all over London.

"My God, this dreadful woman has deceived us!"

"She deserves to go to hell!"

The whole city cursed until Sophie was sent to the gallows.Under the gallows, people waved their arms and shouted: "Hang her! Hang her!"

The god of death in black floated in front of Sophie who was about to die.

Sophie saw him.

She knew that only the dying could see the Grim Reaper.Therefore, she knew that she was dying.

Then, as soon as the execution time came.On the gallows, she moved, and then completely lost her breath.The god of death in black swung his sickle, severed the connection between the soul and the body, and sent her to hell.
