Dark, damp, full of foul stench and stuffy air, this is the sewers of Ash City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Open the manhole cover and climb down the ladder to reveal a small cavern with a straight sewer outside it, a semicircular wall covered with disgusting stains, and a slow flow of sewage between two brick paths for human walking.

Jack and Tifa climbed down with Muffy, and the three of them stood in the cave, looking at the dark underground world outside, where the filth of the city gathered, the darkness and sin of the city, and because there were so many horrors and possibilities hidden in it, everyone who saw it would subconsciously stop and be afraid.

People who have lived in the sun for too long naturally have a fear of the dark.

The golden sunlight shining through the circular manhole cover was like a treasure given by God to the underworld, connecting and separating the above-earth world from the underworld, and in front of Jack, Muffy, who had already taken a step forward, was stagnant - she was a little embarrassed, not because of fear, but because she had no direction.

"Why don't you move forward?" the rough-nerve Jack didn't notice Muffy's abnormality, he just asked out loud naturally.

"Jack!" As if grasping at a life-saving straw, Muffy quickly turned her head, although her face was still expressionless, but her big eyes were undoubtedly full of hope, "If it were you, you would know where to go, right? You can find the traces they left behind, right?"

"No...... This is not the hole that came out of the secret passage, generally speaking, there will be no clues here, and besides, the other party is a person who can even be killed by a four-ring mage, Muffy, you better calm down, you are just a one-ring mage, don't be so impulsive!" Jack hurriedly comforted, looking at Muffy's current unstable mood, he was really afraid that this girl would go directly to the murderer to take revenge - although no one knew who the murderer was now.

"How can I do that, when I think of the teacher being killed, the thought of the venerable teacher being mutilated, I can't help but feel sad and angry. Mafei's voice was full of determination, "I must avenge the teacher!"

"Well, I understand your determination, but ...... We may have to wait for the officers and gentlemen of the Investigation Task Force...... Ah, here we are!"

The next to descend from the ladder were the trio of "detectives" and the police officer who had just summoned the rats.

"You kids, why did you run down on your own, do you know what you're going to face? Do you know how dangerous this is?" As soon as the gray-haired Dr. John came, he taught Jack and the three of them a lesson, his face was full of worry and anger, "You should know that professional things are left to professional people, and those rumors outside are not credible, our reconnaissance team has always had the ability to protect the people and find out the truth, please trust us a little more, okay?"

But you're really parallel goods......

As a time-traveler, Jack had never been taught such a lesson, and he glanced at Peter, who was not concerned with himself, and if it weren't for Dr. John's concern, he would have said the taunt just now.

"Alright, now you boys get back to the ground......" Sighing, John said with a serious face, and then, before he could finish his sentence, the three of them met with resolute opposition.

"No!" X3

"I must avenge my teacher with my own hands...... No, at least let me see with my own eyes the scene where you catch the murderer!" Mafei insisted.

"I want to know who the real culprit is!" Jack looked curious.

"I'm going to follow Master Jack!" Tinfa sighed helplessly and glanced at Jack.

"Well, well...... Then you can follow, but you must listen to the command and don't fall behind!" Feeling that he couldn't resist these young people, and he couldn't use strong means, Dr. John could only agree, "Then, then, it's up to you, Alan." ”

The summoner, known as Alan, nodded silently, and he summoned the Lucky Mouse again, while Peter lit a torch and the group came to the entrance of the sewer.

It was a small hole open in the wall, and Jack felt that it would be uncomfortable for him to climb into it even if he were to fit into it, and it was a shame that the murderer and Deputy Secretary Ron had the perseverance to climb such a hole - sometimes, humans pay too much for secrecy.

The seven men searched for a moment near the entrance of the cave, and though at first they had little hope, for the murderers of that country would not like to leave traces, but in the end, the lucky mouse had a meritorious service, and the little creature whose sense of smell was ten times more sensitive than that of a dog found a new hair near the mouth of the cave.

There was a fresh smell on that hair that didn't belong to anyone present, and it was the only clue anyway. The next thing was simple, although six hours had passed, and the smell of the place was mixed, but the rat with the reference object still succeeded in distinguishing the whereabouts of the murderer, and naturally, several people followed the little mouse who played a big role and walked down the sewer.

The sound of the water was endless, and several people walked down the somewhat slippery sewers, always on the lookout for possible dangers, after Peter had changed two torches, that is, almost an hour later.

"Shhhhhh

On the distant wall, there was a faint flickering fire, apparently, there was a cave there, and at the same time, there were some people.

"That...... Guy...... Somehow...... Greedy ......" The group intermittently heard a man's voice, which was full of mockery.

"Ah...... Brothers...... Lower...... Fast and accurate...... Dead ......" another person's voice rang out, and it was a very unscrupulous voice.

"Alan, go back and call ......," Peter commanded in a whisper, "I think we've found our target!"

Just as Alan nodded and was about to go back, a roar suddenly came from the firelight, "Who!

A head poked out of nowhere, and from a distance, it looked like a funny little dot.

This suddenly scared everyone to hold their breath, no matter how you look at it, it is definitely not a good thing to be found here, and at the same time, Alan's little mouse plays the role of his god teammate, and he squeaks while running into the water (rats can swim).

"Don't ...... It's just that...... Rat!" another voice reassured intermittently.

The poked out head was withdrawn: "Can ...... Neuroticism...... up"

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, everyone exhaled silently, and Alan also nodded, and walked back on the way back.

The murderer is probably in that firelight.
