The legend of Phantom City.

Just as Tai Chi has yin and yang, coins have positive and negative, there must be shadows under the bright world, and on the back of the world we know, there is also a world where the laws and laws are diametrically opposed, and this world, in countless mystical inheritances, is called the Land of Shadows.

Same as the kingdoms of the earth.

The Land of Shadows is also home to countless nobles, and Duke Phantom is one of them, in the distant past, he even left the Land of Shadows and established his own territory on the earth, with a large number of lords, and his castle is known as Phantom City by the people.

Duke Phantom has terrible sorcery, can turn stones into gold, and can also conjure ghosts, and everyone fears his power and envies his wealth.

But.... Even the greatest reign will come to an 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, and under the change of times, the Phantom Duchess also went to ruin.

However, the proud Duke Phantom was unwilling to accept his defeat, and in revenge for those who destroyed his rule, he left a terrible curse in his castle, cursing the people who occupied his castle, enjoyed it wantonly, and trampled on his dignity.

"When the clock strikes midnight, the evil spirits I raise will break out of their cages and hunt in my castle, and only those who survive will receive my gifts."

Since then.

The castle became a famous haunted mansion, but no one who walked into it could leave alive the next morning, and the terrified people tried every means to hold a grand sacrifice to return the Phantom Duke's castle to the Land of Shadows.

Since then, the castle has disappeared.

It's just that.....

Countless years have passed, and the constraints of the past sacrifices have become more and more fragile, and under the clear light of the moon, this legendary castle has finally reappeared.....

"It's!"

"People are really idle now."

"Do you all like this tone?"

After hearing the legend of the so-called Phantom City from Hua Qiong, Gu Moli was even more disdainful, and the gloomy expression that Hua Qiong could have put on instantly collapsed.

"Eh.... I also know that this legend is not very credible. ”

"But Phantom City does exist!"

"Aren't we here to crack the trick?"

“.... Hum. ”

Gu Moli sneered and waved the folder in his hand: "Speaking of which, do you know who sent this commission." ”

"Hey, it's obviously your commission, don't you know?"

"Nonsense."

Gu Moli said without hesitation: "If the computer memory is full, I have to delete junk files, not to mention the human brain, my smart brain needs to consider other more important things, like this kind of entrustment put in the clutter heap, it has basically been deleted in the folder in my brain." ”

"More important things? Do you play games? ”

"Hmm! Didn't your teacher tell you not to answer questions with questions? ”

"Huh."

Hua Qiong glanced at Gu Moli, but still explained: "The client is not signed, it is a rare anonymous commission, so I just noticed it." ”

"Anonymous?"

Gu Moli frowned, but he didn't say anything more.

The office itself is in the outer ring of Guanghui City, so it will take a bus to the construction site that Hua Qiong said.

In terms of floor area, this land is really not small, it is hard to imagine that the municipal government of Guanghui City has no intention of asking at all, and around the construction site, there are many young men and women with cameras, selfie sticks, and flashlights, and some even wear Taoist robes.

God knows what they want to do.

As for the construction site itself, because it has been abandoned, the fence has long been dilapidated, and no one is watching, so you can enter and exit at will.

"Boss, do you want to take a look?"

"Let's go."

Although it was night, there were not so many idlers after all, and the vast majority of citizens still wouldn't have nothing to do, so there weren't many people on the construction site.

However, Gu Moli did not rush into the construction site, but walked around the construction site first.

Overall.

"There was originally a curtain around it, but it was too dilapidated, so it was basically useless, it should have been idle for too long, there was no large machinery in the construction site, there were only a few hollow cement pillars, and a shoddy log cabin..."

“.... It was originally intended for workers on the construction site, right? However, with the abandonment of the construction site, the cabin was also locked up and could not be opened. ”

"The problem is that the ground here, standard concrete, and no gravel, looks a little beautiful and neat, and I don't know what the site was originally intended to be used for, and the site itself is very open, and there are no extra obstacles."

Gu Moli roughly investigated the entire construction site.

In the end, the conclusion was reached.

"Sure enough, I used holographic projection and other equipment."

"In a place like this, even if you just put up the mold of a three-story villa and whitewash it with the help of night, the feasibility of completing it in a short period of time is almost zero."

Of course, it's not impossible.

It's just that the cost and benefit are completely disproportionate, in other words, to achieve the above conditions, it takes a lot of money to prepare materials and equipment, and it is too boring to spend so many resources just to pretend to be a ghost in the middle of the night.

"Are you sure this picture wasn't made?"

"Not really!"

Hua Qiong said dissatisfiedly, but she was beside Gu Moli when she was investigating and analyzing just now, so she was also very clear about Gu Moli's reason for suspicion.

“... In that case, why don't you see it with your own eyes? ”

"With your own eyes?"

"That's right."

Hua Qiong nodded: "Boss, haven't you forgotten, tonight is the night of the full moon, I hired a few trusts before, and I plan to do it strictly in accordance with the things in the urban legends, a thousand and one people, more to stop, less to find someone to make up, see if you can summon that phantom city." ”

“.... Kid, I know you're a little disillusioned with the detective profession, but don't be so immersed in the dream of Form 2...."

"Experiment! It's just an experiment! ”

"Ahh

Gu Moli became more and more bored: "Okay, since you want to try, then I don't mind." ”

"Hmm! Anyway, I'm going to give it a try! Regardless of whether Phantom City exists or not, since there are photos, there must be a mystery behind it! I'll definitely find out! ”

"Come on, come on...."

Gu Moli casually perfunctory two sentences, and then said: "Then you work hard, I'll wait for you at the snack bar across the street, it just so happens that I haven't had dinner yet." ”

"Huh...!"

"Farewell!"

After leaving the last sentence, Gu Moli left the construction site without looking back, leaving Hua Qiong alone to stay where he was, and then had a full meal in the snack bar.

Time flies.

While eating dinner, watching variety shows on my mobile phone, and then playing mobile games, the hours passed quickly, and it was just after eleven o'clock.

"Boss! Boss! ”

"There it is!"

"It really appeared!"

Hua Qiong rushed into the snack bar with a look of surprise and a little panic, and then directly grabbed Gu Moli's hand.

"Boss, come with me!"

"Huh..."

Gu Moli pulled Gu Moli out of the snack bar like this, and before leaving, Hua Qiong threw a hundred-yuan bill and threw it on the table in the snack bar.

As a result, this step takes the snack bar.

“.....！！！”

Gu Moli's eyes widened suddenly, and there was really a bit of rare horror in his eyes.

And at the end of his line of sight.

On the other side of the street.

The empty construction site is gone, replaced by a square, three-story villa that stands quietly under the bright light of the moon.

Phantom City.

Out of thin air.
