Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 41 Forty-one. The moonlight is flustered
Chapter 41
"Yahahahah!!!"
The shrill cry echoed in the sewer, spreading farther and farther.
Everyone was shocked by the screams, and turned to look at Susan, who was holding Daisy tightly and jumping with her eyes closed.
"There are mice ah ah ah!!!"
"It's just a mouse, don't be afraid... It's normal to have mice in a place like this." Daisy rubbed Susan's head with a helpless expression.
Daisy raised the oil lamp, and there was still plenty of kerosene in it, enough to last them until the end of their expedition.
"When are we going back?"
she asked, worried that going back too late would worry her parents.
"If possible, I hope after seeing the ghost." Reese, who was at the front of the team, looked back and sighed helplessly: "But it doesn't seem possible, let's go back after a while."
Next time he won't be here again.
There is also no tow oil bottle.
The ghost knows why Daisy suddenly wanted to bring Susan and Victoria, and look at the girl named Susan, she was wearing an expensive dress... What did she think she was doing, a noble ball?
Just as Susan was dissatisfied with the boys, the boys were equally dissatisfied with them.
Daisy saw something, and when she opened her mouth to ease the atmosphere, she was suddenly stunned. She tilted her head slightly, looking into the depths of the passage with a slightly suspicious gaze.
The moisture on the walls became more and more serious, and in the darkness where the light could not reach more than ten meters away, the faint humming was blown by the damp wind.
"Shh..."
She raised her hand to interrupt the conversation of the others and listened intently.
"Did you hear that?" Daisy asked the others for confirmation.
The hum is tiny, but it's there.
The remaining four thought Daisy, who looked so serious, was very interesting, and tried to listen with bated breath.
The smiles on their faces faded over time.
"Who is humming in front...?"
…
Whoa——
A pair of black rain boots stopped in the river, and the sound of stepping on the water disappeared.
The water bypasses the rain boots and flows by.
Lu Li stared into the darkness in the distance. Just now, a faint scream came from the depths.
If there is a near-nothing murmur that fills the sewer.
"Are those people in trouble?"
…
"You'll know if you go and have a look!" Reese said eagerly.
The turbulent emotions dispelled the few fears, and it was this moment that he continued to explore the supernatural places.
"Don't get your hopes up, we just walked...about 100 meters. It's still under the coastal street. Maybe some tavern is too noisy and spread below."
Ben poured a pot of cold water on his friend.
Some people are excited, some people are indifferent, and some people are afraid. Young people with all their concerns decided to move forward and find out.
As you go deeper, the humming in the oncoming wind becomes clearer.
has no sound effects and is not pleasant to the ear. Just a random hum with echoes.
"It's so late, it shouldn't be the staff..." Daisy said in a low voice.
The five people leaned against the left side of the sewer, Susan hugged her arm tightly, and Victoria, who was more timid, hugged Susan's arm.
No one answered, all their attention was on the hum.
The reverberating hum can no longer be heard without paying attention, and it seems to be in a place where there is no light ahead.
But at this moment, the humming stopped abruptly.
The surroundings fell into a dead silence.
suddenly lost the source of the sound, and everyone looked around like a headless fly, fear sprouting in their hearts and spreading.
"It found us!"
"Shh..."
"Quiet!"
There was a chaotic sound, and Reese, who had been silent all the time, suddenly turned around, and raised the torch to shine behind everyone.
Generally speaking, at such times, ghosts will suddenly appear after——
Reese's eyes widened suddenly, the torch slipped from his palm and fell to the ground. Suddenly plunged into darkness, he used all his strength to squeeze a voice out of his throat.
"Run! Run!!!"
The unknown people fled subconsciously, screaming and screaming, the lights swayed, and they mingled.
Reese ran as fast as he could, hearing the sound of wind and running. Maybe someone was left behind, but he didn't dare to look back even once.
Scenes of life flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern at this time. He imagined the situation after finding the ghost countless times, but all this was shattered by the cold reality.
"I can't run anymore!"
ran hundreds of meters in one breath, and someone shouted. Reese took a breath out of his chest and stumbled to a stop. Looking back, all four were there, even Susan in a small skirt.
No one is left behind.
The sound of wheezing reverberated in the empty sewers, and the cool air could not relieve the lungs that were about to explode.
Daisy took out the oil lamp she was holding in her arms, swallowed hard, panted and asked, "What did you see!?"
"I...cough...I see a face."
Reis leaned against the cold wall, the coolness seeping into his back, and cold sweat emerged from his forehead like rain.
"That face came out of the water... no body, just a face, that face... that face..."
Reese couldn't go on, and the memory of that bitter face made him shudder.
"Is it like this."
But at this moment, a strange voice that does not belong to everyone slanted in.
Everyone froze, and the cold air came up from the bottom of their hearts.
"run!!!"
Daisy shouted.
…
Snapped!
A rain boot stepped on the pale face. The face in the water shattered instantly, and the ripples were washed away by the current.
"Are there ghosts here?"
Lu Li raised his head, frowned and whispered.
The extinguished torch was lying in the damp passage, and Lu Li seemed to see a picture of several young people who were frightened by the ghost face and panicked, throwing the torch and fleeing into the depths of the underground passage.
Lu Li lifted the holster behind his waist and dimmed the light of the oil lamp.
…
A new round of escape begins.
But the crowd had stopped running.
"Don't stop! It's still behind us!" Reese shouted through gritted teeth.
"We, we can't... go any further..." An arm was placed on Reese's shoulder, Ben was out of breath, and his glasses were full of water vapor: "It's a little... a little bit wrong... that ghost is... driving us forward. Walk……"
"We'll be caught if we stop!"
Ben coughed a few times in pain and shook his head with difficulty: "It... it is chasing us on purpose, maybe it is trying to play until we are exhausted, or it may be its old nest in front of it..."
"Then what to do!" Daisy said urgently.
She was still able to keep quiet, Susan and Victoria had hugged and wept together.
"Flee back!" Ben took off his glasses, and a hideous look appeared on his face. "We have five people, and it can't catch them all. As long as someone runs out and asks for help, we have a chance!"
Everyone turned and faced the way they came.
Daisy held up the oil lamp, and on the bright edge a few meters away, a translucent and eerie ghost appeared faintly.
Everyone's scalp was numb, and they dared not face the ghostly shadow, and no one dared to take the first step.
My heart was ruthless, and my body was about to rush out when I suddenly saw something with wide eyes.
Behind the ghost, a slender, pitch-black silhouette appeared silently.
That figure was a head taller than the ghost. A flintlock pistol quietly rested behind the ghost's head.
whispered.
"Who are you?"
