The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 78 Abandoned Construction Site
"There is no mistake at all." He Nan stood in the same position as Michelle in the photo, and looked at the Fulian Building in the distance: "Come on, Shirley, take a picture for me. Maybe you can be photographed." Michelle was photographed in the same frame as me."

"What kind of evil are you doing?" Shirley jokingly raised her phone and laughed, "Then I'll take a picture? I don't care if I'm cursed by the ghost of the Black Witch."

"...Uh." He Nan was still sweating when she said that, "Why don't you forget it."

He felt that there was nothing wrong with being cowardly at a time like this.

After Ho Nan disappeared from the screen, Shirley pressed the trigger.

"Nothing." Shirley showed He Nan the screen.

"Maybe we should take a few more pictures." He Nan suggested: "Change the angle. Let's do it together so we can hurry up."

"Forget it—it's unnecessary." Shirley looked at the things on the screen, and her expression became subtle: "Sure enough, it can be photographed here... She just changed her position. But they are all lingering around here."

"Let me take a look?" Ho Nan leaned over excitedly and saw Michelle's figure: "Ah...it's really her! It seems that our deduction is successful."

In the photo, Michelle was standing there looking at them.

There is no special expression, and it is not scary at all.

If you don't tell you that it's a ghost, no one will be able to tell that she is dead.

"Although it's unlikely, it would be great if we could know the origin of Michelle and this place." Shirley said softly: "She always lingers here, there should be something she can't let go...Maybe there is some resentment This child is very poor, and I always feel that I want to help."

"...She said she wanted to help, but there's nothing we can do." He Nan felt helpless: "Why don't you try to communicate with her? It doesn't seem possible to talk to her."

This is indeed the case.

He Nan really tried.

...but Michelle was completely unresponsive.

Maybe she called back, but they couldn't hear her.

"There is no way, it is impossible to communicate." He Nan shook his head: "We are not the kind of people who can talk to the dead... Let's stop disturbing her."

"I have to go back." Xueli put away her phone, looked at He Nan and said with a chuckle, "But, do you really don't want to disturb him anymore? Or are you afraid because there are ghosts?"

"I admit it's a little bit, okay? After all, supernatural incidents are usually not within the scope of detectives to deal with." He Nan had to bite the bullet and said: "But it's definitely not the main reason. I still don't want to waste time here."

"Okay, let's go." Shirley smiled slyly again, then turned and returned to the car: "Actually, if possible, I would like to scare you here... I didn't expect to be so timid, so I just ran away."

"How can I be cowardly!" He Nan immediately argued, "This is called a strategic retreat, not casual and meaningless risk taking...Didn't you also say these things?"

"Hmm, I did." Shirley chuckled as she walked, "... Find out what this open space was used to do, maybe it will help us understand Michelle's experience."

"Anyway, there's nothing on the Internet." He Nan replied, "There's no way to search for this vacant lot. It doesn't have a name—it's not even clear who it was contracted by."

"Then, why don't you ask the nearby residents?" Shirley suggested, "Anyway, we can only go to Ava's club besides investigating here. Don't you have any other arrangements?"

"Well...you can still have dinner." He Nan was a little hungry: "Let's buy something to eat."

They were about to go back the way they came, back to their car.

On the way, as we were about to turn a wasteland heap, I heard a creature gnawing at something at the end of the corner—whatever it was, it sounded fresh and juicy.

Moreover, the torn meat is all in large pieces.

"Do you think the guy who is gnawing on something seems to have a big mouth." Hearing this voice, He Nan was a little vigilant.

"Maybe it's just a dog." Shirley didn't feel anything, "It sounds like a big mouth is just an illusion."

"Uh...maybe." He Nan was still a little uneasy.

As the two got closer and closer to the corner of the mound, the tearing sound suddenly stopped.

Afterwards, it became the sound of the footsteps of some kind of creature running away suddenly—judging from the sound, its size was at least on the level of a lion.

"!!!" He Nan immediately took out his pistol, and then exchanged glances with Shirley.

She understood and didn't say a word.

Both of them deliberately kept a certain distance from the corner, and then slowly raised their guns and walked around to observe the environment-in this way, they could avoid surprise attacks due to getting too close to the enemy behind the corner.

After seeing the corpse behind the corner, both of them were in a terrible mood.

Because, it was a large and incomplete dog.

...To be precise, there is only a small half left.

If they were 1 minute late, it might have been eaten.

"...there is a dog." He Nan approached the dog corpse, and looked around nervously to prevent any monsters from attacking him: "It's just that the dog was the one that was eaten... What monster ate it? "

"It might be an animal... No, it's unlikely." Shirley changed her mind, looking solemn: "I heard it running away too, it's very big... There shouldn't be that kind of animal in New York City." A carnivore of the right size."

"We walked this road before, right?" He Nan quickly recalled in his mind: "...I remember it right."

"Hmm." Shirley said affirmatively, "I've actually seen this dog before... lying on the wasteland pile. Maybe when we came, the monster was also in the abandoned construction site? In this way, he is most likely to hide The area is actually the waste mound... The terrain here seems to be quite complicated, and it is not surprising that there are some holes that they can hide in."

"I'm more inclined to think that it came out of the sewer..." He Nan took a breath and pointed to a nearby manhole cover: "Look at it? It was obviously covered before, right?"

"It seems that it is indeed..." Shirley was not very sure: "...Actually, I am not sure either. I didn't pay special attention to these when I came here."

"The mouth of the sewer is not narrow enough for it to get out." He Nan carefully approached the mouth of the well, took out a flashlight, and took a photo inside.

...can't see anything.

I can't hear the running sound of monsters anymore.

But this undoubtedly made him feel that the safety of New York was further reduced.

"Now, wherever you can connect to the sewer, you have to worry about monsters appearing." He Nan left the mouth of the well, his heart pounding: "Do you remember the synthetic beasts in the laboratory I mentioned to you... I feel like I just heard It's them..."
