Jack be nimble; Jack be quick

Back on the first floor; Harlan thought he heard a scream coming from the basement but no other noise came out.

He mentally kept it in mind as he went to check the front door.

Even though he wanted to check the house’s library, he figure it would be a good idea to check for any possible escape paths.

The front door was still being guarded by that guy in the Jack the Ripper costume.

But the man didn’t quite look the same.

His clothes were as close to the character like before but this time his face wasn’t recognizable. Only his eyes could be shown since his scarf covered his mouth.

The eyes were bright red like bright lights but more disturbed.

When Harlan came closer to the entrance, the man turned and chuckled at seeing him.

The voice was archaic sounding more British then English.

“Well hello there boy~ enjoying the house?”

Harlan narrowed his eyes and asked in an accusatory tone.

“You weren’t the person from earlier! Who are you really and what is happening in this house?”

The man laughed and clapped a bit before answering.

“Well, since you asked so nicely. Back in Whitechapel I was called Jack in those newspapers during 1888.”

His eyes looked joyful as he continued

“But to those whores on the streets, I was the Ripper to them then and it was glorious~”

Harlan crossed his arms as Jack continued his talk.

“As for the other question, the work of the resident mad doctor in this house had been completed only for it to stall for all this time due to his ****... until now thanks to your fool of a brother young Carnby.”

If this answer wasn’t enough then nothing would be.

Ignoring how Jack knew his last name; Harlan thought about this scenario more.

Doctor Farraset really did create an array to distort reality and that’s why things around this house are happening.

This guy who worked for the company had been completely changed into the Ripper himself which means that what wasn’t alive before could be coming to life like the exhibits themselves for example...

Keith must’ve somehow activated the array when he was working on the house with his company and had no idea.

The question is though... Where is the array itself and how can it be stopped?

Could it be stopped?...

Shaking his head of doubt; Harlan only glared at the reborn ripper and asked one more question.

“In that case... could you be so kind as too tell me where this array is?”

Jack only shook his head while going “tut tut tut” to him.

“And just why would I do that? You should know it’s hopeless to escape from this Harlan! I would recommend you and any others give in to these coming changes. It would certainly be a fun time wouldn’t it?”

Harlan stepped back just enough to turn away and continue walking for the library.

There was no way Jack would let anyone out now. So there was no point!

Jack chuckled again as he watch Harlan move away while saying something to himself.

“Oh Harlan Carnby~ you certainly will bring the doctor some feeling of life again... when he takes your body and soul. HAHAHA!!!”
