The four people investigated the entire house, but surprisingly they couldn't find anything. Even the basement, which was the most suspicious before, was the same.
"This is impossible!"
In the living room on the first floor, Scott, who was sweating profusely, shouted in disbelief. He sat down on the old sofa, not caring at all about the thick dust accumulated on it.
"I went to the car to get the flashlight. I should go to the basement to take a look. We must have missed something." The superintendent said and walked towards the door.
"Wait, there's no need." Ellie stopped the hurried superintendent. She raised the magic spell and waved it, and a bright ball appeared out of thin air, shining as brightly as an incandescent lamp.
The other three people were not surprised by this, and they all walked towards the basement as if they had made an appointment. With the light, the entire basement suddenly became much clearer.
Probably feeling that the light was not enough to illuminate every corner, Ellie waved her wand again and summoned two other light balls.
Compared with the previous time, the four searched more carefully this time, but still found nothing. Scott muttered a little discouraged: "Is there a mistake? But according to the distribution of waterways, this old house has underground
It should be a hub.”
No one responded to the old man's words. Ribbon looked at the brick wall in the basement thoughtfully, while Yuri continued to search in the basement like a hound, even though he had already swept this place no less than three times.
After a while, Yuri seemed to have made a discovery. He stopped on the wooden stairs in the basement, bent down and picked up something. After looking at it for a while, he said, "Old man, maybe you are not mistaken."
His words made the other three people look over. Yuri showed the object in his hand, which was a cigarette butt. When he saw the cigarette butt, Riben immediately asked: "What brand of cigarette is it?"
"It should be Winston." Yuri replied.
"That's right!" Ribbon exclaimed excitedly, "Xing...ah no, Richard once said that someone in Frank's team smokes American cigarettes, and that's Winston."
"Whether it's Frank's or not, at least someone has been here recently." Yuri checked the cigarette butt and said, "The cigarette butt is still very new."
At this time, the superintendent took a few steps back. He looked at the wall carefully again and judged: "It seems that someone has cleaned this place. Look, this wall should be newly built."
After saying that, the superintendent reached out and patted the brick wall, and then took off some cement mortar, "It's true, although most of the bricks are old, many of them are new bricks, and the cement slurry has not yet completely solidified. So.
, let’s guess who doesn’t want people to see what’s behind the wall.”
"Then it proves that my conclusion is correct." Scott regained his confidence, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's knock down this wall and go in."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Scott realized that he was not the one who could make the decision. He and the other two looked at Ellie who said nothing, and the latter said after thinking for a moment: "
Don’t be in a hurry, go out first.”
Everyone is a little disappointed. The truth is within reach. All they need is a hammer that can break open the wall. But they all know that the only person who can truly deal with the monsters behind the wall is Ellie. Since the wizard lady proposed to leave, then
They have no reason to refute.
"Do you need me to ask the police station to send more manpower?" Superintendent Ribbon asked as he walked up the stairs.
"How many snakemen do you think an ordinary person can deal with?" Ellie asked back.
Riben suddenly stopped talking. He understood that he had given a rather stupid proposal. However, Yuri, who was walking at the front, interrupted: "Ordinary people are indeed no match for those monsters, but the police can help control the surrounding streets.
To avoid confusion.”
"But you need a rhetoric that calls out a lot of police," Ally reminded.
The superintendent was not worried about this, "This is easy to handle. I can discuss it with the chief and say that this is a base for the old record gang."
"I'm just worried that having too many people involved will make the situation more complicated."
Yuri spread his hands and said: "Since you insist, then I will listen to you. Who calls you the boss? But, can I ask, why don't we go in?"
"Be fully prepared." Ellie replied calmly, "You have fought against those snake people, so you should know their methods."
"To be honest, we have trouble even protecting ourselves there. It was a one-sided crushing, not a fight at all." Yuri readily admitted his defeat, but his expression became even more serious here.
gloomy.
Obviously, he was not as calm about the failure as he wanted to show in his tone.
…
The car finally drove out of Brichester, but Xing Ze's heart did not calm down. He listened to Thomas telling how their ancestors disturbed the sleeping snake people, and how those ugly monsters cast a curse.
The fragmented clues were gradually connected, and the puzzle began to be completed. Xing Ze felt like he was experiencing the rise and fall of his family, but his mind was not entirely focused on it.
He has his own plan. He wants to visit the Society of Unsolved Mysteries. This mysterious place only accepts members and time travellers. Douglas Kimball and Thomas Kimball are both members. There, he
Maybe he can find a way back to his original world.
As for "Snake's Tooth", after arriving in Liverpool, he will notify Burke and ask the Slytherin family to send people to accept Thomas. In this way, his mission will be completed. As for whether he will tell "Snake's Tooth"
"Clues, this doesn't matter about Xing Ze.
But having said that, they had to reach Liverpool safely first, but the enemy would not be so generous. Xing Ze looked in the rearview mirror and saw a small car coming towards them at a very fast speed.
"Let's stop talking about it for now." Xing Ze interrupted Thomas, "Fasten your seat belt, we are company."
Hearing this, Thomas looked at the rearview mirror in horror. He also saw the speeding car. Before he could get the seat belt, Xing Ze stepped on the accelerator and started to accelerate.
The poor professor almost flew out of his seat. The windshield of the convertible car could not block the strong wind blowing in his face, and his screams were completely suppressed by the wind.
After accelerating, Xing Ze looked at the rearview mirror again. They did not distance themselves from the car behind them. The performance of this classic car was fine for driving, but it was too weak for racing.
"They are coming." The professor finally fastened his seat belt.
"Unbuckle your seat belt."
Xing Ze's words made Thomas unbelievable.
"Unbuckle your seat belt and hold the steering wheel. We need to switch places, unless you can deal with the pursuers."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Ze let go of his hands to unbuckle his seat belt. His desperate move really frightened Thomas. Fortunately, the professor was still sane and hurriedly reached out and held down the steering wheel.
