Volume 2: Murmuring in the Night Chapter 12: A Quiet Place

The two finally broke the Möbius Ring and entered Arkham, which was shrouded in silence.

The Arkham they had seen before was empty, but now the streets were full of pedestrians.

"It seems that there are no accidents this time...... Wang Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the scene in front of him.

Suddenly, the music sounded, and pairs of pedestrians danced along the street.

“DER VAMPYR?” Holmes shook his head, it was nothing like the music he had heard, and although there were similarities, the music he heard now was much more terrifying than the first one, and it seemed to be mixed with some noise.

"Do you mean the name of the song?" Wang Feng looked at Holmes and then at the pedestrians on the road around him.

"That's right, it's from the 1828 opera 'The Vampire'. But I don't know why I seem to hear some noise from this song, and the noise seems to be someone talking. "Holmes always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

Wang Feng patted him on the shoulder: "You must be thinking too much, you see which of these people around you is not very happy." ”

"Are they really happy? If you look closely, their expressions don't change at all, just like dead people. Holmes looked at the dancing pedestrians around him and felt nothing but horror, and no joy.

Listening to what Sherlock Holmes said, Wang Feng came to his senses, and carefully looked at the expressions of those dancing, none of whom did not have a cold face.

In the light of the moon, it looks extraordinarily pale.

"Forget it, these things have nothing to do with us! The most important thing now is to go to the victim's home to look for some clues. There seems to be some kind of force preventing us from investigating...... But the truth can never be covered by time. "Sherlock Holmes has made up his mind, no matter what, he must find out the truth, of course, he is also very guilty, he was controlled by those monsters before, and did that kind of terrifying thing to Wang Feng.

"That's right."

Wang Feng sighed and accidentally glanced at the pedestrians dancing.

The eyes of those guys seemed to be locked on the two of them, and they seemed to be dancing, but they weren't.

Sherlock Holmes...... I remember you said that Arkham seems to be inhabited by poor people, right? It is also a breeding ground for sin in London. Wang Feng stopped his steps.

Holmes paused and nodded at him, "That's right, that's what I said. ”

"But these dancing people are too flamboyantly dressed, aren't they? It's obviously the dress of the top class people in Britain...... It's not at all like the poverty you call it! ”

Sherlock Holmes's answer made Wang Feng clear his thoughts again, there was definitely something wrong with these dancing pedestrians, they were not Arkham's people.

"If that's the case, then what are they?"

Wang Feng turned his head to look at the pedestrians, and the music stopped abruptly.

All the pedestrians approached slowly and smiled.

"Oops...... These guys have problems. ”

Holmes pulled out a pistol and aimed it at a pedestrian and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The pedestrian who was shot fell directly to the ground. The other pedestrians then lunged on the pedestrian, who had been knocked to the ground by Sherlock Holmes, and opened their bloody jaws to tear at the guy's flesh.

"Run!"

Taking advantage of the fact that all the pedestrians were attracted, the two of them ran away from the past when they were empty.

A pungent smell permeated Arkham.

Wang Feng turned his head to look behind him, only to find that the group of pedestrians had a big hole in the top of their heads.

Several pedestrians suddenly blocked the two.

"Bang bang!"

Holmes fired several shots in succession.

"What else to see, run! Pay attention to the ...... ahead," he reprimanded Wang Feng to pay attention to the pedestrians who appeared in front of him.

"Sherlock Holmes, have you noticed that these people have a big hole in the top of their heads? And these big holes are exactly the same as the dead. Wang Feng felt that things were not as simple as he imagined, and he remembered what the two of them encountered when they entered Arkham.

"Wait...... Before, we couldn't enter Arkham, which means that this place has become an enchantment, and the victim lives in Arkham...... The woman died with a hole in the top of her head, and the pedestrians we saw also had a hole in their heads......"

Wang Feng stopped his steps and suddenly realized.

"Why don't you run? If you don't run, you'll die. Holmes was startled when he saw him stop.

"Sherlock Holmes, is that monster you mentioned earlier sucking other people's brains? And will it simulate the appearance of a human? Wang Feng looked at Holmes and showed a smile, but this smile was a wry smile, and it was at this moment that he knew a secret that he should not know.

"That's right...... You mean? Sherlock Holmes also suddenly came to his senses and looked at Wang Feng with a smile.

"You're saying these pedestrians are actually those monsters, and we're looking for clues...... But I didn't expect to go to the monster's lair? ”

As soon as Holmes finished speaking, the music began to sound again, and all the passers-by danced in groups and lingered around them.

Suddenly, the song became quick, and Arkham was already surrounded by mist.

"I seem to understand why someone would stop us...... Wang Feng only felt his scalp tingle when he remembered everything before, but he knew all this too late.

"The real fear is not over...... There will be silence! Holmes muttered to himself as he looked at the pedestrians in the fog, and they were beating together.

Flesh and blood have become abominable under their devastation.

"What do we do now?" Wang Feng glanced at Sherlock Holmes.

"You're still asking me what to do? Can't you see it now? Holmes laughed helplessly.

"I know for sure what to do? But we both need to be unified! ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, ready to run away.

But when they turned around, five or six pedestrians stood in front of them, and looked at them with fierce eyes.

These guys have blood on their hands, and the internal organs of their bodies are exposed.

"What are we going to do now?" Wang Feng narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose to look at Sherlock Holmes.

"Since you can't escape, let's face it with a smile!" Sherlock Holmes struggled to control his emotions and said to the passers-by, "Hello! ”

The pedestrian smiled.

"I'll just say, a smile is the best weapon." Sherlock Holmes glanced at Wang Feng.

"Who are they smiling...... Wang Feng saw the fangs of those pedestrians and involuntarily took a few steps back: "These guys are murderous!" ”

Sherlock Holmes sighed: "Since you can't be friendly friends, then you can only have a good one to ask you to die." With that, he pointed his gun at a pedestrian.
