Nock and Sig were thus trapped in the annex on Elk Street.
But the outside world did not stop because of the disappearance of the two people.
When Sally was eliminated, Anna Holmes suffered the backlash of the contract and fell unconscious in the secret room on the spot.
Her coma caused everyone in Holmes Manor to think she was missing.
There are even rumors that Master Shylock was unable to love her, and because of his love, he hated her and secretly killed his wife.
Sherlock angrily mobilized everyone and searched the entire Holmes Manor, but could not find Anna Holmes.
Sherlock, who searched for Anna to no avail, thought that Anna had no face to stay in the Holmes family, so he ran away overnight.
Recalling the ridiculous things that happened these days, Sherlock was completely discouraged and fell ill directly.
This frightened the servants of Holmes Manor.
Now there is only one owner left in the manor, Sherlock, and the other two have disappeared mysteriously.
If anything happens to Sherlock again, then they will be servants without a master.
The kind of servants who work long-term jobs are fine, but the worst they can do is pack up and leave.
But more people were bought by Ford Holmes and were slaves.
If they lose their master, they will face being trafficked again, or even being sent directly to the slave camp of the military camp to serve as cannon fodder and military female support!
This is not what they want.
However, while they were running for Sherlock, Anna woke up from her coma in the underground secret room.
But when Anna woke up, she lost her temper in the secret room and almost smashed all the unimportant things.
She hated Sally for making her own decisions, and regretted why she had thought about refining Sally's soul and controlling it with the newly learned spell.
If not, even if Sally was killed, she would vomit blood and be weak for a few minutes at most.
But now, her soul was damaged by Sally's soul!
Looking at the old face reflected in the crystal ball, she wished she could crash to death in the secret room!
"Idiot! Idiot! Sally deserves to die! Nock Lane deserves to die too! Sig Holmes deserves to die even more! And those meddling professionals all deserve to die!"
Anna vented in the secret room for most of the day. After finally calming down, she dragged her exhausted body out of the secret room where the crystal ball was placed and returned to the secret room hall.
Anna staggered to the other wall, found the switch, and opened another secret room.
However, this secret room is completely different from the secret room where the crystal ball is stored.
This is a prison.
"Bear!"
Anna lit the torch on the wall of the prison chamber, illuminating the chamber.
I saw an iron cage occupying three-quarters of the space in the secret room.
In the corner of the iron cage, a dark shadow huddled.
"Get out, go up there and grab two maids for me, the younger ones, don't be seen! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
Anna hunched over and slapped the iron cage in the secret room with a fierce expression.
Following Anna's rough movements, the black mass in the corner slowly rolled.
A monster that looked like a "Ripper" stood on all fours in the cage, its scarlet eyes staring straight at Anna.
"What are you looking at! Do you want to betray me like your brother?"
Anna slapped the bars of the iron cage angrily.
"It's useless! How could I fall in the same place twice! I took away your consciousness, and you are just a monster who obeys my orders!"
"Don't even try to escape from my hands!"
Anna cursed and opened the door of the iron cage with the key. The dark monster slowly walked out of it, glanced at Anna in fear, and ran towards the exit on the ground.
Anna didn't stop it and let it disappear from her sight.
As she said, this monster has been deprived of its subjective consciousness and has become a killing tool that only obeys her orders.
Yes, this monster is none other than her husband, the missing Ford Holmes!
Ford Holmes did not die in Crete Village at all, but was abducted by Sally arranged by her after leaving the city.
The frightened horse ran away with the coachman. Maybe the coachman ran to Crete and the carriage was burned in the village of Crete.
Ford, on the other hand, was turned into the other [Ripper] by Anna's own hands!
During the days when Sig Holmes escaped, Anna arranged for Ford to hunt young women and bring back their hearts.
The reason why Anna needs the hearts of young women is because she needs to use the blood of these hearts to refine the medicine that maintains her youth.
However, she has always kept things very secretive. No one in Holmes Manor knows Anna's secret.
But it doesn't work now, because the contract backfired, and Anna's appearance has directly reached the level of old age. She now urgently needs to refine a youth potion to restore her youth.
Therefore, regardless of the possibility of being exposed, she decided to take action against her family members.
As long as her appearance is restored, it doesn't matter if she is discovered.
The worst case scenario is to kill everyone in the entire manor and change to a city life!
Anna's unscrupulous behavior caused eight young maids to disappear in Holmes Manor in three nights.
This strange incident naturally attracted the attention of the police station.
But even Alan Covert arranged for patrols to be stationed in the manor because he admired Sherlock.
The manor still lost its maid that night, and even a male servant was killed and torn into pieces.
The Holmes family were free servants, and they were so frightened that they broke their contracts and left.
In just a few days, Holmes Manor was almost deserted and turned into a haunted house.
Shylock, who woke up from his illness, looked at the less than five slaves in front of him, his brain suddenly exploded, and he passed out again.
After the manor could no longer provide hunting targets, Anna set her target on the noble lady in Dongcheng District.
Anna, who had returned to her forties, looked at the gray hair on her head with crazy eyes.
"Not enough, not enough! These inferior women can't satisfy my needs at all!"
"I want more! More! Go and catch me some ladies from noble families. I want to use their noble blood to nourish my beauty!"
Ford obeyed the order and attacked two aristocratic ladies who had attended the banquet in a wealthy area that night and kidnapped them.
The next day, the aristocratic circle was in an uproar.
A group of nobles found the queen and forced her to give an explanation.
The Queen had no choice but to put the pressure on Alan Covert.
Facing the Queen's "trust" again, Alan Covert was ready to commit suicide.
"Ripper! Ripper! Damn guy! Why are you having trouble with me!"
The angry Allen yelled in the office.
All the previous achievements were completely destroyed by Ripper.
It just so happened that the Grand Duke sent everyone to investigate the village of Cored, and even several teams of musketeers were transferred.
Even if Allen had the intention to lay an ambush throughout East City, he gave up because of lack of manpower.
So he broke the rules and posted bounties on [Ripper] in various professional offices.
A large number of professionals who were impressed by the bounty poured into Dongcheng District.
However, this does not make Dongcheng District safer.
Instead, conflicts between professionals led to constant conflicts in Dongcheng every day.
The nobles were even more dissatisfied.
Fortunately, hard work paid off, and someone finally saw the assailant Ford and successfully injured him.
Just because the residents in Dongcheng District are either rich or expensive, after Ford got into the residential area, he quickly got rid of the pursuing professionals and easily hid in the secret room of Holmes Manor.
In this way, the true face of [The Ripper] was finally revealed to the public by professionals.
Somehow the news spread to the villa on Elk Street, and Zola found out about it.
When Zola pulled the recovering Sig with excitement and asked him if he had a twin monster brother, Sig was confused.
On the first night he lived in the other house, because he was not suppressed by the mithril dagger, he went crazy after his transformation, and was beaten by Zora until he became conscious.
From then on, every night, he hid in Nok's room to avoid Zola, the humanoid-breasted beast.
Even if Nok gave Sig the mithril dagger brought by Yulia, Sig was unwilling to leave the door of Nok's room for even half a step.
As for why Nok was willing to give the mithril dagger to Sig, firstly it was because Sig had saved his life. Secondly, it was because the dagger was related to his life experience, so he was nervous and concerned about it. But now that his life experience is clear, he feels that the dagger is an eyesore, so he might as well give it to Sig to get the best of both worlds.
When Zola rushed into Nok's room excitedly and pulled Sig to ask that sentence, Nok also figured out the reason.
[The Ripper] has committed another crime.
But he knew in his heart that Sig was the Ripper, so the other monster was probably created again by the person who cursed Sig.
After casually dismissing the curious Zola, Nok started a "meeting" with Sig.
"Dude, you really don't know who put the curse on you?"
"I really didn't know it before, but now, I have a vague idea."
"Anna."
"Brother Nok, you actually guessed it!"
"Sally can be a gold-level monster. It's not surprising that Anna, who can make Sally obey her orders, can curse you."
"Yes, after all, you have had close contact with her."
"Never mind this, we are still good brothers."
"Uh, sorry, sorry."
"Who do you think the new [Ripper] will be?"
"I'm afraid it's Sherlock."
"I also have this suspicion. After all, the new [Ripper] is too weak."
"What should we do? I can't fight in my current state."
"We need to take a long-term approach. Not even Ms. Zola's drops of life can restore your hands and feet. The curse in your body is too difficult to deal with."
"Yes, Ms. Zola said that if you want to recover your hands and feet, you must first get rid of the cursed power in my body."
"I have an idea, maybe I can try it, but the problem now is, how can we escape from this house under Ms. Zola's surveillance."
For a while, the two fell into deep thought.
The two of them tried to escape many times in the past few days, even if Sig made a move of "abandoning the car to protect the commander" and took the initiative to sneak attack Ms. Zola with sword energy, trying to buy Nokk time to escape.
But before Nok could run out of the door, he was tied up by vines growing from the floor and hung upside down from the ceiling.
Sig was even more pitiful. Two legs (the left leg was just broken at the ankle) and one hand were tied up by vines and stretched into a mutilated "big" shape.
The two couldn't help but shudder at the thought of escaping from Ms. Zola.
