"That's it."
Mr. Stork Whisperer.
"It's no wonder that Oak Gang didn't find the inheritance of the Louis Family's ancestors. If you hadn't watched that movie, who would have thought that there is a secret laboratory under the scrap station?"
Gilan was beside him, but his eyelids under the mask twitched.
'Alchemist Sabbatai, did he die in his own underground laboratory in the end?!'
He thought of the "Fortune Well" and the "plague" currently prevalent in the poor areas, and then combined it with the lake water in "Black Lake" and the murderer who resurrected from the well.
At this moment, Gilan had a terrifying guess slowly emerging in his heart.
Perhaps, Sabbatai·Louis is the same as Rembrandt·Eddie...
Polluted water sources after death!
But there's one thing Gilan can't figure out.
If this is the case, how can we explain that the plague did not break out until now after Sabbatai has been dead for so many years?
Regarding this, Gilan just hoped that he had guessed wrong.
Otherwise, the plague in the poor areas may not be so easy to end, and even the rich areas will not be spared. At most, it is only a matter of time... By then, the entire Black City will be shrouded in the influence of this mysterious power.
Of course, Gilan has only traveled to this different world for a short time, and we still don't know if this country has the means to deal with the mystery in this era.
In his opinion, there is most likely that, otherwise how could Bremen Empire have stood as the overlord of the mainland for so many years.
Maybe it's just that my identity level is not high enough, so I can't see it.
"Be careful, don't be discovered by people from the police station."
Ms. Forest Dove reminded.
Mr. Stork nodded, patted Gilan on the shoulder, and then raised his hand to indicate an alleyway ahead.
"Let's go this way and go around the alley to the back of the scrap station."
Immediately, the three of them carefully avoided the sight of the armed police officers, crossed the street, and entered the alley.
Not long after, they arrived at the foot of a long wall.
There are also many notices posted on the wall, most of them are promotional posters praising the head of the empire Caesar Geed, and a few are wanted notices and small advertisements.
Gilan glanced casually and found his wanted poster as expected.
What surprised him was that the wanted notice clearly stated:
"The suspect has been arrested."
Bang!
At this time, Mr. Stork had already climbed up the wall nimbly, and then turned back to pull the injured Ms. Forest Dove up.
When Gilan saw this, he had no choice but to attribute the wanted order to the fact that the police station had found a Scapegoat sheep to take the blame, and planned to muddle through the matter.
Immediately, he put down his thoughts, kicked on the wall, and climbed over easily.
The three of them climbed over the wall and landed in the courtyard of the office building.
Gilan looked at the familiar environment, but couldn't find a single figure. There was silence all around, and there was only a little garbage flying on the ground.
Further away, you can see discarded waste everywhere.
Scattered, messy.
"Fortunately, the plague broke out, and Oak Gang, which originally occupied the scrap yard, fell apart. Many members of the gang died and escaped, and the rest were directly taken over by the Louis Family and relocated elsewhere."
Ms. Forest Dove looked around and said softly.
"Recently, another local gang, Kuka Gang, planned to seize this territory... But not long after, more people died due to the plague, and they became afraid, and finally gave up here."
The lady said with a sneer.
She took out the investigation document, pulled off a photo on it, then looked at the surrounding environment and compared it with the photo.
"Not here." Ms. Forest Dove shook his head.
"Let's go take a look at the warehouse area next to it."
At this time, Gilan made a suggestion.
Ms. Forest Dove turned around and looked a little confused.
"Mr. Snowy Owl has lived in this neighborhood for a while and is quite familiar with this scrap yard."
Mr. Stork, who knew the details of Gilan, gave an explanation.
Ms. Forest Dove suddenly nodded.
She followed Gilan's suggestion, left the courtyard gate, turned left, and went to the warehouse area next to it.
The three warehouses still stand in a concave shape. In the open-air courtyard, the tall hornbeam tree sways in the wind, and under the tree is the mouth "Fortune Well".
However, there were dark red and black blood stains everywhere.
There were also many winemaking tools, utensils and oak barrels that were not taken away in time and were randomly discarded in the yard.
Ms. Forest Dove held up the photo and made a surprised sound:
"This is it!"
In the photo, there is a hornbeam at the door of an old-fashioned wooden apartment, and there is also the well water under the tree.
However, times have changed, and now the apartment has been transformed into three warehouses, and the hornbeams are much taller and more lush.
Mr. Stork and Gilan came forward to compare the photos and found that this was indeed the case.
'Unexpectedly... the warehouse where I hid was actually the former site of the apartment where Sabbatai once lived.'
Gilan thought to himself, suddenly feeling a sense of absurdity.
Soon, the absurdity in his heart turned into pleasure. Louis Family's ancestor's inheritance, Layton, that old and immortal piece of shit, would never be able to get it in this life.
He couldn't help but sneer secretly.
"There are three warehouses here. Let's search separately to see if we can find the entrance to the basement."
Ms. Forest Dove said, and then said slightly worriedly:
"I was afraid that when the warehouse was rebuilt, the foundation would be sealed with cement."
The three of them did not have special tools on hand to cut through the cement. If it was sealed, they would naturally not be able to go down and get the alchemist's inheritance.
"Let's look for it first." Mr. Stork walked directly towards the warehouse on the right.
It was originally a place where Oak Gang specialized in brewing wine.
Ms. Forest Dove shook his head and went to the warehouse in the middle, where raw materials were previously stored.
Gilan looked at the warehouse on the left and smiled.
After going round and round, I came back here again.
He strode open the warehouse door and walked in.
What came into view was an empty warehouse. All the miscellaneous art contraband had been moved away, leaving only some dirty white cloths randomly thrown on the ground.
However, this also provides convenience for the search of Gilan.
If there is any secret door, it will be obvious at a glance.
He touched every corner and knocked on the wall, but after ten minutes, he still found nothing.
Seeing this, Gilan simply rubbed the sapphire ring on his middle finger.
An enchanting little figure sprang out, flapped its wings and came to Gilan's shoulder, smiling and saying:
"Master, do you need Vivi to do anything for you?"
"Help me find out where the entrance to the basement is."
Gilan faces his familiar.
"Yes, master." Vivi agreed quickly.
Immediately, it drew a graceful arc and sank into the solid cement ground, as if it had fallen into an invisible pool of water.
Not long after, Vivi poked his little head out from Gilan's feet, pointed at the foot of the wall in the corner of the warehouse and said:
"Master, there are steps connecting the open space. It is a wooden board covered with a thin layer of cement."
With that said, Vivi flew to Gilan's shoulder and whispered in his ear:
"Vivi also discovered that there is a secret door under the bed in the basement, which leads to a deeper secret room with many books and scrolls inside!"
