In front of the Cleveland Manor, the old gentleman and his daughter quietly looked at the distant mountains in the bleak autumn wind, as if waiting for the triumphant return of the warriors. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Father, go back, you're so old, what if you catch a cold?"

"Haha, I'm tough! It's not that easy to fall! I'm going to officiate at your wedding!" ”

"Father...... But I just heard a terrible noise, and nothing is going to happen to them. ”

"Okay, good girl, they're back, don't worry."

Franklin smiled as he pointed to a torch moving in the dark night.

…………

"Mr. Franklin, it's a pity that we only found this guy."

"Is this the same Selm?"

"Yes, he is the perverted murderer, although he didn't find the murderer who deliberately murdered my uncle, but it was worth it to catch this criminal."

"Come on, tie this guy up." Franklin beckoned two servants to give them a hand and tie up the perverted murderer.

"It's a pity......

Franklin had just tried to comfort the somewhat lost Sir when the terrible screams rang out again—the horror and screams of terror and sorrow made the moonless night even more terrifying, and the atmosphere was suffocating.

"It's a human scream! Who's calling! Adeline exclaimed.

"That's true, is there something attacking people in the moor?" Franklin said grimly.

Because of the urgency of the situation, the shouting was loud, and at first it came from a long distance on the dark plains. Now the sound of rushing into their ear drums seemed nearer, louder and more urgent than before.

"Which side?" Luo Hanya asked in a low voice. His voice was cold, as if it was a different person, "Which side?" ”

"I guess it's over there." Adeline pointed out into the darkness.

"Let's go! Mr. Franklin, can you help us avoid those deadly swamps? ”

"I think it's fine."

"So what are we waiting for?" Sir Henry glanced back at Adeline, "Next time I'm here, I'll marry you." ”

"Let's go! Lad! Don't say goodbye to your lovely person again! Franklin laughed heartily in a majestic voice.

…………

The cry of pain, resounding through the silent night, grew louder and closer than before. There was a new sound, a deep, grunting, melodious and terrifying sound, all falling together like the never-ending murmur of the sea.

"It's a beast!" Franklin shouted, "Come on! Come on. Oh, my God! Maybe we're running out of time! ”

He immediately ran quickly across the moor, and I followed him closely. Suddenly, however, just ahead, there was a final cry of despair from the jagged and uneven piece of rubble, followed by a faint, heavy grunt. The three of them stood and listened, and no other sound broke the dead silence of the windless night.

Luo Hanya pressed his hand to his forehead as if he was a deranged person, stomping his foot.

"He's already beaten us, gentlemen, we're too late."

"No, no, it won't, we must still have a chance." Jazz said breathlessly.

They scurried forward in the darkness, stumbling into the rocks from time to time, squeezing through the gorse, running up the hill out of breath, and down another slope, all the way in the direction from which the terrible sound came. Every time I reached a high place, I looked anxiously around, but the moor was unusually dark, and nothing was moving on the desolate ground.

"Did you see anything?"

"Didn't see anything."

"But what do you hear that sound like?"

A low moan came into their ear drums, and to their left again!

Franklin slowly but skillfully guided the two behind him, avoiding the quagmire that looked like the entrance to hell, and walking towards the place where a faint moan came out.

There is a rocky ridge on that side, and at the end of it is a cliff face that goes straight up and down, and from there you can see a rocky hillside. On the uneven ground lay a bunch of black, irregularly shaped objects.

As they ran closer to it, the vague outline became clear. It turned out to be a man lying on the ground, with his head nested under his body in a terrible way, and his body curled up inward, as if he was about to somersault. The man looked so special that they couldn't believe that the sound they had just heard was from the man's soul as it was shedding.

The three of them surrounded the man in a triangular pattern, and the man who was bent over to look at him did not say a word, nor did he move. Luo Hanya grabbed him and lifted him up, and he struck a match, and the light shone out the dead man's clenched fingers, and also illuminated the slowly expanding puddle of blood that flowed from his broken skull. The light of the fire also illuminated another thing that shocked Luo Hanya to the point of almost fainting—it was the corpse of the butler Remo!

Neither of them could have forgotten the special, blue-coloured garment made of tweed, the one they had seen Remo wear when they went out this morning. They only glanced at it clearly, and the match flickered and went out, as if hope had left their souls. Jazz cried out in horror, groaning in despair, and his face was pale, visible in the darkness.

"This brute! Brute! Luo Hanya clenched his fists and shouted angrily, "Damn! It's my responsibility! I should have thought of the cunning and treacherous of this criminal! What a terrible enemy! He knew where we were, he guessed it all, and he moved ahead of us, cutting off our clues. ”

"I'm more guilty than yours, Mr. Han, I should be cruel to this guy, he deceived me with all his lies, and I gave him a chance again and again. I didn't expect that in my eyes, the most loyal old servant was a bastard who colluded with outsiders to murder members of the Bach family, and I would never spare him! ”

"We heard his cry - Oh my God, that cry! It would have been nice if we had come over as soon as possible! - But it's too late, and the monster that killed him is probably going round and round the moor! And what about us? You can only look at Remo's corpse here, and you can't do anything. (To be continued.) )
