Chapter 8 Monsters in the Sewers(1/2)
———————————————————
......
Ishida jumped down.
The water in the sewer drain is only the height of the ankle.
He approached the light.
The chisel marks on the edge of the hole seem to be not chisel marks.
"Do you think this looks like a trace of paws?"
"Don't joke, what kind of claws can dig such a thick wall?"
Ishida then took a photo and sent it to a friend of his.
He is an expert in trace analysis.
Ishida wanted to wait until the result came down before going in to find out.
However, the time he prohibits the surrounding residents from letting water flow is limited.
It seems that it is already noon.
He first arranged a team of people to have lunch outside the sewer, and it was best to respond at any time. He took his two assistants and went in and took a look.
There is also the black cat.
After the black cat pointed him in the way, he left too.
When he came back, he stopped meowing, but jumped helplessly to the front of Ishida and led the way for Ishida.
And there was something like a badge on his neck.
The style is strange, tied with a rope and hung around the neck of a black cat.
"This cat?"
They watched this strange scene.
What's even more strange is that they couldn't help but want to follow the cat and continue to look inside to see what else they could find!
Originally, the sewers in Chengnan City were very old.
After aliens occupied Blue Star, every city was transformed.
Not to mention the underground waterways are very spacious nowadays, there are also many kinds of debris.
There are also legends that there are people living in this sewer.
It is said that some anti-occupiers have established their own bases in the sewer and are ready to fight back against aliens at any time.
But these are always just legends.
The black cat's pace is light and fast.
As soon as Ishida and the other two began to suspect that he did not follow his sense of smell, but had known a long time ago what was wrong.
The place where he stopped for the first time.
They found some clothing there.
They are all clothing for children aged seven or eight, or even younger.
Go forward further.
The second time he stopped.
They saw some toys there.
Still a child's.
The third time he stopped.
They saw nothing.
But according to the previous situation, there must be something strange about the place where the black cat stops.
Ishida and the other two were wearing one-piece suits similar to sewer workers. They also wore gloves. Ishida immediately focused his eyes at his feet.
He reached out and started to dig in the dirty water, and the assistants could only follow suit.
Not long after, he found it.
It was a broken hand bone.
The flesh and blood on it is gone.
Only bones.
Ishida also realized that something really serious was starting to appear.
The black cat moved again.
There is a lot of water accumulation in the sewer and there is almost no place to get off, but this black cat can always find one or two jumping platforms and keep moving forward quickly.
Even though the garbage that acts as a jumping platform does not seem to bear his weight, he has always done so far that there is no stain in the rest of the place except for the sludge in the soles of his feet.
Looking at Ishida and others, their bodies and the protective covers on their faces were also dirty.
.........
"Officer Ishida, there is still a hand here."
The assistant with a forensic foundation shouted at Ishida.
Ishida rushed over.
That's still the child's. Even if there is no blood flowing out again, it can be seen that this broken hand should be...
"It's estimated that the time will be one or two days."
Ishida was silent.
Because he was wearing a protective cover and was already dirty, no one could see Ishida frowning.
A face full of worry.
It was just one or two days.
Six children have disappeared in the area he is in charge.
At first, everyone was still holding a little hope.
But now...this hope is slim.
finally.
They found a body.
This is the last scene they want to see.
Two assistants roared:
"Bastard! I caught the murderer and insisted on tearing him to pieces!"
Their anger was circulating in the sewer.
It spread far and far.
Suddenly, the sewer became calm.
Even the water flow gathered from the sewer pipe outlets in all directions was almost stopped.
That moment.
Ishida and others seemed to be able to hear each other's voices.
Bang bang bang.
Time is getting slower and slower.
As long as they were, the interval between their heartbeats began to grow longer and longer.
Until they couldn't even hear their heartbeat.
Tick.
Like the water flow recovery of sewer pipes.
Tick.
wrong.
It was like something fell into the water in the sewer.
Tick.
Not right.
It seemed that something was stepping on the water from the sewer and pouring out water.
The sound of water is getting faster and faster.
