289 Finding Someone (Part I)

In the dimly lit living room, the emergency light placed in the center of the living room suddenly flashed and went out.

Ed frowned, looked away from the laptop screen, and turned his head.

The emergency lights are not flashing.

Ed raised his hand and looked at the time, Harry and Corbett had been gone for a while, and had not yet returned. He felt a little strange, it didn't take so long to check the camera malfunction, right?

After thinking about it, he decided to go to the basement to check the situation, a little worried that the two guys would break the camera.

Ed had barely reached the door of the living room when he heard hurried footsteps in the hallway.

Immediately after, Harry appeared at the door of the living room.

Ed was stunned.

Harry's eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, he was panting, and his head was full of beads of sweat.

It was the first time he had seen Harry look so panicked, and he hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Ed!" Harry stepped forward, grabbed him by the arm, and screamed, "There's a ghost in the basement!" ”

"What did you say!? Ghosts in the basement? Ed was shocked and asked, "And Corbett, where is he?" ”

"I don't know......" Harry shook his head. After a moment, he clenched his fists before he said, "He...... He may be trapped in the basement. ”

This answer made Ed's heart sink and frown.

"He didn't come up with you?"

"No......" Harry sighed, his head down, "he...... He shouldn't have run out...... Fack! Corbett isn't going to be finished, is he? ”

Ed's eyes shrunk, his brow furrowed, and he gritted his teeth, not expecting a ghost to appear during the day.

"What should I do?" Harry asked.

"Wait for me to confirm?" Ed turned and walked towards the wooden table in the corner.

"Confirm what?" Harry looked at him puzzled.

Ed didn't answer, walked over to the wooden table, and pulled out a palm-sized, phone-like device from his travel bag on the floor.

This is an "EMF detector" that can detect the electromagnetic waves of ghosts.

Ed took the detector and turned around, facing the direction of the basement.

The pointer on the detector's display shook slightly a few times before returning to its original position, indicating that the detector was not receiving strong electromagnetic waves.

Ed frowned, looking up at Harry.

"Did you really see a ghost in the basement?"

"Of course!" Harry yelled, "Don't you believe me? I swear in my grandmother's name that I really saw ghosts. ”

"Okay." Ed nodded, "Let's go to the basement and have a look." ”

"Still going?" Harry was stunned for a moment, looked at him and said, "Why don't we call the police first." ”

"Nope." Ed shook his head, "If we call the police, our shooting operation will be ruined." ”

"But ......"

"Have you forgotten why we are here? If the ghost really exists, we will take pictures of it, and it will definitely go viral all over the Internet. ”

Harry listened to him, bit his lip, and nodded.

"Okay, stop by and find Corbett."

"Hmm." Ed nodded, slipped the detector into his pocket, and pulled a portable camera out of his travel bag.

Then, he looked at Harry.

"You prepare the white salt, and if you do see a ghost, smash it with a salt cube."

"I know!" Harry quickly took the salt bag out of his pocket, tore open the package, took out a few pieces of white salt from it, and pinched it in the palm of his hand.

Ed took the camera and walked over to Harry.

"Let's go."

Harry took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

The two had just walked out of the living room and were about to walk down the hallway to the basement.

At that moment, there was a sound of the door sliding behind them, and at the other end of the hallway, the door of the abandoned old house was opened.

A policeman and a priest walked into the old house.

……

Rorschach and Priest walk into the abandoned old house.

Sunlight streams in through the open doors, illuminating the dimly lit hallway.

Rorschach walked ahead, Priest followed. He waited outside for a long time, and found that the people inside had no intention of leaving, so he decided not to wait any longer, and entered the abandoned old house to persuade the three insiders to leave.

In the hallway, Ed and Harry turned to look at Rorschach and Priest.

Rorschach looked at the two people in front of him, and from the surprised expressions of the two, they obviously didn't expect the police to come, but what about another person?

"Police?" Harry let out a cry of surprise.

Rorschach nodded to Harry.

"Yes, I'm Sheriff of Sleepy Town, and I ask you to get out of here now."

"Great, it's the police." Harry turned to look at Eddard.

"It's useless to rely on them!" Ed shook his head, "It's up to us to find Corbett. ”

When Rorschach heard Ed's words, his heart sank, and in "Hunter Tracking", there was a humanoid dot missing from the abandoned old house, and he hurriedly asked:

"What's going on? Someone missing? ”

"Sir!" Harry hurriedly replied, "My friend has been captured by a ghost. ”

"Ghosts?" Rorschach's heart sank, this old house turned out to be haunted during the day.

"Harry!" Ed glared at Harry beside him, "I've said it all, it's useless to tell them. ”

"Isn't there a priest?" Harry pointed at Priest.

Ed shook his head, turned around and walked towards the basement at the end of the hallway.

"Stop!" Rorschach shouted.

Ed stopped and turned to look at him.

"Sir, I'm going to my friend."

"What happened?" Rorschach asked.

Ed snorted disdainfully.

Harry on the side glanced at Ed helplessly, and then hurriedly explained to Rorschach what had just happened in the basement.

After hearing this, Rorschach frowned slightly and turned his head to look at Priest.

"Do you think it could have been done by evil spirits?"

"It's hard to say." Priest shook his head.

Rorschach narrowed his eyes, the ghost Harry had encountered was completely different from the evil spirit Medkai he had encountered, he didn't expect that in just one night, this old house had changed so drastically. Now that one person is missing, there can be no more accidents.

Rorschach looked at Ed and Harry and said in a deep voice:

"It's dangerous here, please leave immediately, and I'll take care of the matter of finding your friends."

"Sir......" Ed looked at him, "you don't know anything, don't waste my time." ”

Rorschach was speechless for a while, who does this guy think he is?

Priest smiled and tilted his head to look at him.

"Looks like you're being underestimated."

Rorschach sighed, as the young man in front of him said, there is no time to waste, there is already a person missing. Thinking of this, he turned to look at Priest.

"Can you keep an eye on them for me?"

"Of course, it's a trifle." Prisette nodded.

"Okay." Rorschach turned to look at Ed, "You guys just stay here, I'll go find your friends." ”

"What are you going to do?" Ed looked at him warily, "Do you know who my dad is?" ”

"Who your dad is has to do with me."

Rorschach walked up to Ed and Harry with both hands, grabbed one of them by the shoulder with the other, and threw it back.

Ed and Harry let out a cry of exclamation, and he threw them behind.

"You!" Ed leaned against the wall and pointed at Rorschach, just as he was about to speak, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

It turned out that Priest walked up to Ed and pinched his shoulder.

He looked at Ed and smiled.

"You just stay here."

Rorschach turned his head to glance at Priest, who was controlling the two young men, shook his head, and walked down the hallway towards the basement.
