My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 785 - 399: The Death of Jack the Ripper (Part 7)

"Hey, hey, are you serious…" the hacker mumbled dazedly. He was the last to react among everyone, and now he looked down, his face deathly pale.

"Bloodline, Bai Tanlang, restrain him," Urushibara Osamu said, having already summoned Celestial Driver, and Zhou Jiuya's Ancient Compass appeared in his right hand.

"Tricia."

Xia Pingzhou suddenly spoke, uttering a name unfamiliar to him. At that moment, a figure in a red dress froze in place within the underground bar.

After a moment, Bloodline slowly raised her head, "How do you know this name?"

"1001 told me, he said it's your name," Xia Pingzhou looked into Bloodline's eyes. "Tricia, I can take you to see him."

Bloodline was silent for a long, long time, lowering her head, the strands of pale golden hair covering her eyes.

After a moment, she suddenly smiled.

The Vampire Maiden spread open her dragon wings, which blocked out the sun, protecting Xia Pingzhou, and raised her crimson eyes to meet the gaze of the other members.

The hacker said blankly, "What is going on here…"

Urushibara Osamu also frowned slightly.

"Bai Tanlang, your son's name is Filio, right?" Xia Pingzhou continued, "When I was in London, I saw him once. He said he was afraid to see you because he had devoured his own mother. He didn't know you were still looking for him."

Upon hearing this, Bai Tanlang also froze.

"I know where he is, and I can take you to find him…but if you act against me here, this opportunity will disappear. I urge you to consider carefully what your purpose for joining the group is."

After speaking, Xia Pingzhou removed a pair of blood-stained gloves, expressionless as he brushed past Bai Tanlang.

He walked step by step toward Ayase Origami.

The sound of footsteps echoed loudly in the silent bar.

"Don't… come closer," someone suddenly said after a while.

Xia Pingzhou did not stop walking.

The girl in the kimono lowered her head, dazed for a long time, then lifted a page from her sleeve. A sharp page burst forth in an instant, slashing across Xia Pingzhou and leaving a ferocious bloodstain.

"Don't, come closer," she said again, her voice light and slightly trembling.

In an instant, layers of paper formed a white paper barrier, blocking Xia Pingzhou.

But the next second, when she lifted her head and saw the blood streaming down Xia Pingzhou's face, the paper barrier shattered.

The pages turned into colorless fragments, fluttering down like snowflakes, draping onto the floor.

Xia Pingzhou's face was expressionless. He removed the gloves, slowly stacking the pair together, the blood from the gloves staining his fingers red.

Then, he slowly lifted his head, extending the pair of gloves toward Ayase Origami.

"You said this was a gift Jack the Ripper chose for you. But Jack the Ripper is the enemy who killed my parents, so I can't accept it. Now… I'm returning it to you."

After finishing, Xia Pingzhou saw that Ayase Origami held out her hand for a long time, but then he let go of the gloves.

The blood-stained gloves slowly fell from mid-air, draping onto the floor.

Ayase Origami looked like a kite with a broken string, her pupils slightly contracting, staring blankly at the scene, the gloves slowly falling before her eyes.

Until the gloves hit the ground, Ayase Origami still hadn't come to her senses.

Only her lips moved slightly, as if wanting to say something, but she couldn't speak at all, unable to open her mouth.

Xia Pingzhou gave her a final look, then turned, looking at Urushibara Osamu.

"Urushibara Osamu, we'll meet in Iceland."

After those words were said, he shifted his gaze and walked toward the exit of the bar without looking back.

Bloodline and Bai Tanlang hesitated for a moment, then followed him.

"Sorry, boss," Bai Tanlang said hoarsely.

Bloodline remained silent, walking like a stringless puppet.

From beginning to end, the only thing in her mind was that name that no one had spoken for a century.

Tricia.

This was the name given to her by 1001, a secret known only to them.

The bar fell silent, Ryukawa Chiba kept smiling throughout, and in the end, he couldn't suppress the frenzy in his smile, taking off his glasses and shaking his head.

Amidst the chaos, the hacker mumbled, "Hey, hey, hey, boss, did they just leave?"

But Urushibara Osamu did not respond, simply hunched over, silently watching a young girl's head on the ground, and the corpse of a cowboy with an opening, with no expression on his face.

Ryukawa Chiba glanced at Ayase Origami from the corner of his eye.

In silence, the girl in the kimono lowered her head, silently looking at the gloves on the ground, her hair's shadow covering her face, obscuring her expression.

After a while, suddenly, a line of tears quietly flowed down from the corner of her eye.

This emotionally numb girl, as empty as a puppet, not even understanding what sadness is, was now shedding tears. Her lips moved lightly, like a malfunctioning robot, muttering softly:

"...Don't go."

As if held within her heart for a long, long time, using all her strength, she managed to squeeze these words out from her lips.

But the person was already gone, no one would hear her words anymore.

It was a long time before Urushibara Osamu reacted.

He expressionlessly raised his head, the flock of crows flinging their wings in the air, lightly dropping a cluster of feathers onto the ground.

The crow feathers covered Yanmo Lin's head and Andrew's corpse.

And after handling the two bodies, Urushibara Osamu sat silently for a while, his figure then turning into a scatter of feathers, disappearing, only to reappear at the dome of Old Wu Antiques Shop.

Looking up, Bai Tanlang had already transformed into beast form, spreading his skeletal wings, carrying Xia Pingzhou and Bloodline off to vanish at the horizon.

Soon, the sunset completely sunk below the horizon, taking away the light shining on this fjord city, at the same time, a long-overdue typhoon suddenly arrived.

That night, the entire Hai Fan City trembled amidst the howling wind and rain.
