Chapter 594 Chasing the White Phantom

"It sounds like the plot of a second-rate fantasy movie. At least I haven't seen the trick of drawing a picture to summon." Chen Ke spread his hands.

"What is a movie?" Little Jack asked.

"It must be a fashionable thing in their time, but Chen Ke, have you really never seen this kind of formation?" Jacob asked.

"No... Things at the extraordinary level are indeed far beyond human understanding, but I'm not sure if there is a saying that you can summon by drawing a circle..." Chen Ke did not completely reject Jacob's guess.

After all, his understanding of the extraordinary level is not particularly deep enough. What if it is really popular in this world to draw a circle to summon demons? He squatted on the ground and carefully studied the pattern on the ground, wanting to see if there would be any pop-up windows in the perspective.

Unfortunately, there were no pop-up windows in the field of vision. This circular formation looked very high-end, but it was just a pattern drawn on the ground with ordinary paint.

Chen Ke touched the pattern with his hand. The place where the paint was splashed was obviously softer than the surrounding ground. It seems that the traces here are not too old. Although the exact time is unknown, it must be within a few days.

So they are studying this? Combined with the woman that Jack had hanged in the alley before, and the unformed god that she had fallen, Chen Ke probably knew what Jacob and Jack were doing.

Although he couldn't be sure, Chen Ke guessed that someone in this era was trying to use some mysterious method to summon an unknown god to come. The way to summon was to draw a picture on the ground, and the way to come was to give birth through the womb of a human woman.

"You are investigating a very dangerous thing." Chen Ke looked at Jacob.

"Do you think I don't know? This is all thanks to little Jack." Jacob put the pot on little Jack.

"What's going on? You are all ordinary people, how are you related to this kind of thing?" Chen Ke asked.

Little Jack scratched the back of his head and told the whole story.

This matter has to start from a year ago...

Jack no longer needs to do a job like a pickpocket. More than 20 years later, the adult Jack is already a reliable warrior. His and Big Yager's primary task is to provide protection when the children steal.

It was a cold night. Big Jacob had gone back first. Little Jack had a quarrel with a woman named Wendy that day, so he climbed to the top of Big Ben Tower to get some fresh air.

The moon was big and bright that day, and the stars scattered in the deep blue night sky, emitting brilliant light. Little Jack watched the cargo ship as small as a shoe sailing on the Thames reflecting the white moonlight.

The whistle and engine sound of the ship mixed with the howling of the wind in the sky poured into Jack's ears. Even though the surroundings were so noisy, he still heard the sound of leather boots running on the roof.

The roof at night is the territory of thieves. Little Jack stood up and looked down at the surrounding roofs, wanting to see who passed by him.

On the roofs of Macaulay Bakery and Longtown Daily Newspaper, his eyes caught a beautiful white shadow. It was a woman wearing a strange windbreaker, a tricorn hat, and a long white braid fluttering in the night.

Subconsciously, Jack began to chase this shadow.

He slid down the white wall of Big Ben and landed on the roof of the workers' dormitory nearby. He followed the white-haired woman jumping on the roof and chased her all the way.

The woman seemed to have unlimited physical strength. No matter how Jack chased her, he could not keep up with her pace. She was like an elegant Suzuka, jumping between different roofs. With a light jump, she could reach a surprising distance. Jack had to swing with the rope hook to barely keep up with her rhythm.

The woman must have known that Jack was following her, otherwise, she would not deliberately slow down at every gap and every corner, as if she was waiting for him on purpose.

The two chased each other in the moonlight. When the woman jumped off the roof, she disappeared into a dark alley.

Jack looked down and did not find the woman, so he fixed the eaves with the rope hook, then jumped down and landed in the alley.

He looked at the exit and entrance of the alley. From the place where he fell, there were more than a hundred steps away from both exits. It was obviously impossible for the white-haired woman to run out so quickly.

He put away the rope hook and started to walk back. At this moment, a heart-pounding breathing sounded behind him.

Jack heard from Jacob that there was an inexplicable existence in this city, and he almost went blind because of it, but a mysterious friend helped him, and Jack knew that he might have encountered that thing tonight.

The breathing sound was so strange and heavy. As the breathing kept getting closer, Jack felt that the space around him was gradually fading. The dark blue night sky slowly turned blood red, and blood-red blood vessels spread on the ground.

But Jack didn't want to sit and wait for death. He dropped a rope hook from his right arm sleeve and pulled a large dagger out of the scabbard at his waist with his left hand.

Just when the breathing behind him was close to his neck, Jack suddenly rolled forward, and then threw the rope hook behind him. A twisted human body appeared behind him. It had black hair and a pale body covered with blood-colored lines. Judging from the chest, it was a woman.

The rope hook was entangled with the thing's neck. Jack pulled hard, trying to pull it over and cut its neck with his dagger, but the other party was stronger than him, and the rope became tight. Jack put his feet on the ground, leaned back, and wrestled with it.

A stream of red mist hit Jack along the rope. He knew that this thing could not touch him, so he made a prompt decision, cut the rope, and took a few steps back.

The thing shook off its hair and revealed its face. In the dark alley, Jack couldn't see its face clearly, but he could see the strong white teeth. The thing took off the rope hook from its neck and melted in a flash. A cloud of blood mist quickly floated to the wall and materialized again, lying on the wall on all fours.

Jack would take out two small daggers from his belt and throw them at it.

The thing turned into a silent red mist again, and the flying knife hit the wall with a clanking sound, and finally fell into the darkness and could never be found again.

The red mist surged toward Jack, and he used a dagger to chop at it. The blade penetrated the mist, and Jack smelled a strong putrid odor. Then, a pale female body appeared on his body.

The thing opened its mouth wide and bit down on his neck. Jack's eyes widened in pain, and he stabbed the thing's side with a dagger. Blood spurted out, as hot as if it could melt his hand.

It bit Jack's throat and tore it off. Chen Ke's eyes turned white, his feet trembled in pain, his face turned red due to lack of oxygen, and the wound on his neck spurted out blood like a fountain, but he His right hand still held the dagger, turning it back and forth in the thing's belly, stirring its internal organs.

It let go of Jack and took a few steps back. The wound on its abdomen had healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Jack leaned against the wall, knowing that he would have to confess here tonight. Ordinary people really couldn't deal with this kind of monster, but when a person was about to die, he would still struggle subconsciously. He pressed against the wall and held on to give it a try. The mentality is lurching towards the exit.

The thing rushed towards Jack's back, grabbed his waist violently, and took away a large piece of flesh and blood. Jack fell to the ground, and before he could get up, the thing pinned him to the ground and tore him apart. He opened his mouth and bit down on his abdominal muscles, pulling out his intestines and organs.

The severe pain made Jack faint. After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes like a flashback and saw the monster lying next to him, with its head in a different place.

The white-haired woman appeared in her sight. She shook off the blood on her rapier and put it back in its sheath. Then he squatted in front of Jack, held his shoulders, and sighed softly.

"Follow the pale blood and surpass this hunt." The white-haired woman took out a test tube, which contained bright red blood.

Jack reached out and grabbed it.
