Chapter 211 Phantom City
The legend of Phantom.
Just like Tai Chi has yin and yang, coins have positive and negative aspects, there must be shadows in the bright world. On the back of the world we know, there is also a world with completely opposite laws and laws. This world, among countless mysterious inheritances, is called the Kingdom of Shadows.
Same as the kingdom on earth.
The Kingdom of Shadow also has countless nobles, and the Duke of Phantom is one of the best. In the distant past, he even left the Kingdom of Shadow, established his own territory on the ground, and had a large number of territorials. His castle was called the Phantom City by the people.
The Phantom Duke has terrible witchcraft, can turn stones into gold, and can summon souls and control ghosts. Everyone is afraid of his power and envious of his wealth.
But no matter how great the rule is, it will end with time.
With the establishment of the Xia Kingdom.
The rolling red wave swept through this great land, and even the Phantom Duke could not stop it. Under the changes of the times, the Phantom Duke's tribe also went to an end.
However, the proud Duke of Phantom was unwilling to accept his failure. In order to revenge those who destroyed his rule, he left a terrifying curse in his castle, cursing the people who occupied him, enjoyed his will and trampled on his dignity.
"When the bell rings at midnight, the evil ghosts I raise will break out of their cages and hunt in my castle. Only the only surviving ones will receive my gift."
After this.
This castle became a famous haunted house. No one who walked inside could leave alive the next morning. The frightened people tried every means to hold a grand sacrificial event, which brought the castle of the Phantom Duke back to the Shadow Country.
After that, the castle disappeared.
only
Countless years have passed, and the constraints formed by the former sacrifices have become increasingly fragile. Under the clear light of the moon, this legendary castle has finally appeared again.
"The whole article is nonsense!"
"People are so idle nowadays."
"Do you all like this kind of tune?"
After listening to the so-called legend of the Phantom City from Hua Qiong, Gu Moli became even more disdainful, and the gloomy expression that Hua Qiong could have made instantly collapsed.
"Hey, I know that this legend is not very credible."
"But the Phantom does exist!"
"Didn't we come here just to crack the tricks?"
"snort."
Gu Moli sneered and waved the folder in his hand: "Talk about it, do you know who sent this commission?"
"Hey, it's obviously your entrustment, don't you know?"
"nonsense."
Gu Moli said without hesitation: "If the computer memory is full, you have to delete junk files, let alone the human brain. My smart brain needs to consider other more important things. Such commissions placed in the pile of miscellaneous items have basically been deleted in the folders in my brain."
"What's more important? Playing games?"
"Well! Haven't your teacher told you that you shouldn't answer questions with questions?"
"hehe."
Hua Qiong gave Gu Moli a look, but explained: "The client has no signature, it is a rare anonymous commission, so I noticed it."
"anonymous?"
Gu Moli frowned, but he didn't say anything else.
The firm itself is located in the outer ring of Guanghui Market, so I quickly arrived at the construction site Huaqiong mentioned.
In terms of area, this land is really not small. It is hard to imagine that the municipal government of Guanghui Market in such a place had no intention of inquiries at all. Around the construction site, there were many young men and women wearing cameras, selfie sticks, and flashlights, and some even wore Taoist robes.
God knows what they want to do.
As for the construction site itself, because it has been abandoned, the fence set up has long been dilapidated, and no one has watched it, so it can be entered and exited at will.
"Are the boss going to see it?"
"Let's go."
Although it was night, there were not so many idle people after all, and most citizens still didn’t look for trouble, so there were actually not many people on the construction site.
However, Gu Moli did not rush to enter the construction site, but walked around the construction site first.
Overall.
"There are curtains around that were originally blocked by the curtains, but they were too dilapidated, so they basically had no effect. It should be because they had been idle for too long. There were no large machinery on the construction site, there were only a few hollow cement columns and a shoddy wooden house."
"It should have been originally scheduled for workers on the construction site to use, right? However, with the abandonment of the construction site, the cabin was also locked and could not be opened."
"The problem is that the ground here, the standard concrete, and there is no gravel, it looks a bit beautiful and neat. I don't know what the construction site was originally intended to be used for, and the construction site itself is very open and there are no extra obstacles."
Gu Moli roughly investigated the entire construction site.
Finally, the conclusion was drawn.
"It's true that equipment such as holographic projection is used."
"A place like this, even if it is just a mold of a three-story villa and is decorated with the help of night, the feasibility of completing it in a short period of time is almost zero."
Of course it is not impossible to do it.
But the cost and the benefit are completely unequal. In other words, to achieve the above conditions, it takes a lot of money to prepare materials and equipment, and to consume so many resources, just to pretend to be a terrifying person in the middle of the night, which is too boring.
"Are you sure this photo wasn't made?"
"No!"
Hua Qiong said dissatisfiedly, but Gu Moli was by her side when she was investigating and analyzing, so she also knew the reason why Gu Moli suspected.
"Since that's the case, why not go and see it with your own eyes."
"Hone's eyes?"
"That's right."
Hua Qiong nodded: "Boss, you haven't forgotten it, tonight is the full moon night. I have hired a few tutors before and plan to do it strictly according to the things in the legend of the city. There are 1,000 people, if there are too many, you can stop them, and if there are fewer people, you can find someone to make up for it, and see if you can summon the Phantom City."
"Child, I know you're a little disillusioned with the detective industry, but don't immerse yourself in the dream of being a middle school student like this."
"Experience! It's just an experiment!"
“Ahhh.”
Gu Moli became more and more bored: "Okay, since you want to try it, I don't mind it."
"Well! Always, I must try it! Regardless of whether the Phantom exists or not, since there are photos, there must be a mystery behind it! I will definitely find it!"
"Come on, come on"
Gu Moli casually said a few perfunctory words, then said, "Then try your best, I'll go to the snack bar across the street to wait for you. It just so happens that I haven't had dinner yet."
"Hey!"
"Goodbye!"
After leaving the last sentence, Gu Moli left the construction site without looking back, leaving Hua Qiong alone, and then had a full meal in the snack bar.
Time flies.
While having supper, watching variety shows on your mobile phone, and playing mobile games, a few hours passed quickly, and it was past eleven o'clock.
"Boss! Boss!"
"It appears!"
"It really appeared!"
Hua Qiong rushed into the snack bar with a look of surprise and panic, and then grabbed Gu Moli's hand directly.
"Boss, come with me!"
"Eh"
Gu Moli pulled Gu Moli out of the snack bar like this. Before leaving, Hua Qiong threw a hundred-dollar bill and threw it on the dining table of the snack bar.
As a result, this step was taken to the snack bar.
“!!!”
Gu Moli's eyes suddenly widened, and there was a little more rare horror in his eyes.
And at the end of his sight.
On the other side of the street.
It turned out that the empty construction site had disappeared. Instead, it was a square three-story villa, standing quietly under the bright light of the bright moon.
Phantom City.
Chapter completed!
