"While it's true that I'm curious about the Hawkins incident, you won't understand what I'm concerned about, and I'm not just thinking about my own safety, but also about the people of the entire Blackwater Island."

Edwin smiled disdainfully, "I really don't know what to scrupulously about, now that the truth is likely to be in front of you, you are going to back down." ”

"You don't understand, you don't understand how dangerous it is, maybe you're not an ordinary person, but you don't know the occult, if you do, you will understand how dangerous your current situation will be." A hint of fear flashed in Margaret's eyes, because she had studied the occult, so at this moment her perception could feel several creepy breaths approaching the manor.

Even though he hadn't studied the occult, Edwin sensed something was wrong, knowing that his perception was stronger than that of humans, so he was almost aware of those breaths as they approached the range of the mountain.

The last thing she noticed was the bee-eating exercise, and she was purely using her mental power to strengthen her perception ability.

When a loud noise came into the ears of the three of them, Margaret shivered, and her face turned slightly pale, "They are coming, presumably the gate has been destroyed by this time." ”

Edwin squinted his eyes and remained silent, wondering what it would be.

The bee-eating analysis felt that something was not quite right in the atmosphere at the moment, and couldn't help but shrink her neck, she was very good at observing words and feelings, and in the current situation, it seemed that it would be very dangerous later?

Just as she was about to move backwards, she felt as if her heel had collided with something, but when she looked back nervously, there was nothing, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

But it was also at this time that the mutation suddenly occurred!

"Be careful!" Margaret's voice rang in her ears, and the bee-eater was pushed to the ground before she could react.

The bee-eater, who didn't understand what was happening, looked up but saw a very obvious crack in the ground in front of her, as if someone had cut the solid ground with a sharp blade, and this was the same place where she had stood.

Thinking that if he hadn't been pressed to the ground in time, I'm afraid he would have become a corpse at this moment, right?

The bee-eater was about to say thank you to the person who saved her, she thought it would be Margaret beside her, but it was Edwin who she wanted to see, which made her thank you swallowed back.

Edwin didn't care much about this, and after getting up, he stared at the empty front with a solemn face, it seemed that he had expected it before, this guy in front of him was...

"Empty ghosts!" Margaret said its name, her face pale with fear, "Sure enough, it was it, and the islanders were also killed by it, and sure enough, Sarah Hawkins summoned them, but there was no way to send them away..."

Edwin's face moved, was it a call from Sarah Hawkins? So is it understandable that the Necronomicon is now on Sarah Hawkins' body? The premise is that Sarah Hawkins is not dead.

Just as he was thinking about something, an invisible claw came towards Edwin, he leaned back and dodged, a few strands of hair on his forehead broke, but instead of falling off, he disappeared into this world, it is clear that this is the ability of the empty ghost, it can choose to take something in the material world, and then these things will never appear.

Thinking of Margaret and the bee-eating manipulation behind him, Edwin said without looking back, "If you don't want to die, get out of here, the end of this underground passage is in a warehouse on the docks of Blackwater!" ”

Margaret's expression changed a few times, and then she pulled the dumb bee-eater and ran in the other direction.

At this moment, the empty ghost hidden in the other dimension was about to attack the two women, but Edwin stopped its way in time, causing it to let out an angry roar from the other dimension that reached the material world.

"Want to get over? Then you'll have to ask me if I say yes. Edwin twisted his neck and moved his muscles, "I hate a guy like you who hides his head and tail the most, so don't let me catch you, or I'm afraid your body will be torn into several pieces by me, I hope you still have your life back in your own space!" ”

Another roar, and then the sound disappeared, although the empty ghost is not a human, but it also has intelligence, and the IQ seems to be good, it can be said that it is the most instinctive talent for how to use its ability to fight, and it can even play some scheming and means, and most importantly, it knows how to cooperate.

It's just that it seems to be the only one now, and if you want to cooperate, you can't find a good object.

Its choice now was to either just stand still or kill Edwin in front of it.

To this, it chooses the latter, and it is waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow!

Edwin yawned suddenly, and the empty ghost, realizing that his opportunity had come, suddenly struck out, reaching out his claws from the other dimension and slashing at his head.

However, Edwin, who deliberately sold the flaw, made a lightning strike and grabbed the claw that appeared suddenly, preventing it from entering.

Looking at the paws that were constantly struggling, Edwin smiled playfully, "I said, don't get caught by me, it seems you didn't listen, now, get ready for your new image." ”

As the words fell, he gradually tried to pull the empty ghost out of the other dimension, but what he didn't expect was that the other claw stretched out from the other dimension instantly cut off the one that was clenched by him, causing an extra severed hand in his hand.

Edwin didn't expect this guy to know how to break the wrist of a strong man, so he threw the severed hand on the ground in surprise and funny, and the banter on his face was even worse, "You're scared, aren't you?" You, with a broken hand, are probably no match for me now, and if you're smart enough, you should get out of here now, before I change my mind. ”

Reasoning with a monster? If the empty ghost has no intelligence, it will naturally be in vain, but it knows how to think and know what it means to weigh the pros and cons.

It's just that this time Edwin seems to have met a stubborn guy, and when he feels that the breath is still there, he can't help frowning, "It seems that you are toasting and not eating and drinking, forget it, it was originally said that it was not easy for you to come to this world, but now it seems that it is better to send you to the endless abyss!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he slowly raised his right hand, and a trace of black smoke slowly came out of the palm of his hand.

But seeing the black smoke rise and slowly dissipate into the air, at this time Edwin suddenly clenched his fist, and the void shook, but saw the black smoke suddenly rise again in the void, pulling a monster that looked a little like an ape and a little like an insect like a chain, this is the empty ghost.

Edwin walked up to the bound Void Ghost and said to the ugly face, "I told you, you don't believe it, so..."

The next moment, the empty ghost who howled fiercely instantly split apart and scattered pieces all over the ground, "Just turn into pieces as I said." ”

After killing the empty ghost, Edwin didn't leave the place immediately, he looked down at the pieces on the ground, and gradually, there were some changes.

But the fragments began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye, until they turned into a puddle of unidentified liquid.

Edwin squatted down and carefully examined the liquid, his brows couldn't help frowning, it was actually paint, this was really an empty ghost resurrected from the painting? Not really a Cthulhu underclass creature empty ghost?

But why, is it capable of exactly the same as the empty ghost? Or even give the impression that it is not much different?

Just when Edwin was in doubt, several other empty ghosts came quietly, and a sneer appeared on his face when he sensed it, just a few, and it was not something that the real empty ghosts talked about, what was he afraid of?

Meanwhile, Margaret ran away with the bee-eating manipulation for a long time, and finally did not hear the sound of the empty ghost again.

At this time, the bee-eating manipulator, who had already recovered his senses, asked with some fear, "What is that..."

As a champion of science and a beneficiary of science, she has never been interested in myths and myths, and she treats all supernatural things as superstitions.

However, Margaret's erasure of the old mark and the appearance of the empty ghost are really good, and the world is not only science, but also the fear of subverting beliefs.

It is almost conceivable that science and magic will inevitably be enemies, as they are at odds with each other, and perhaps in the future the academy city will be involved in war.

The idea of bee-eating analysis is not nonsense, it can be said that it is not difficult for anyone with a little brain to imagine what the final result of the two opposing paths is.

Although she was worried about the future, she also knew that it wasn't something she should worry about, and at the moment she was worried about Edwin, who helped them fend off the monsters.

Seeing the confusion and horror on the face of the bee-eater, Margaret couldn't help but sigh and explained in a low voice, "That monster is called the empty ghost, and it is a subordinate creature in the Cthulhu mythos, and it is also its family, and it has the ability to travel freely between planes. ”

Bee-eating manipulation gasps and shuttles through the plane? This is something that even science can't do, is magic so powerful?

Seeing that the bee-eating analysis was like this, Margaret felt as if she had misunderstood something, but this was not the time to ask about these gossip, she was a little uneasy, and she had doubts about whether Edwin could stop the empty ghost, and at the same time, in her opinion, Edwin could only delay time at most, so she didn't rest for long, so she pulled the bee-eating analysis and continued to go in the direction of the warehouse.

Almost without stopping, the two girls came to a warehouse on the docks of Blackwater, as Edwin had said.

Margaret knew at a glance that this was the number 27 warehouse on the docks, and she had never known that there was a secret passage hidden here.

Things are getting weirder and weirder, but at the same time, the warehouse explains how the empty ghosts can sneak into the town and kill people.

Entering the warehouse, without exception, Margaret also found the portrait that Edwin had found before, compared to Edwin's ignorance, she knew very well who the person in the portrait was, and her face changed immediately.

Charlie Hawkins!

And the person who painted this portrait, except for Sarah Hawkins, basically doesn't think about it secondly.

They were still alive, alive and well, and Margaret felt creepy at the thought of this possibility, the incident should have ended three years ago, but now she realized that the matter was far from over.

They didn't die, so where are they now? Is it still somewhere on Blackwater Island? Or is there a huge conspiracy hatching?

As soon as she thought of this, Margaret's sense of mission came naturally, and she would never allow the order of the Blackwater she maintained to be disrupted in any way. But seeing that she resolutely jumped down the underground passage again and headed in the direction of the manor.

Seeing this, the bee-eating drill also hurriedly followed, she was worried about Edwin's safety, even if she knew that Edwin's strength was very strong, but according to Margaret's description of the empty ghost, she didn't think that Edwin could defeat the empty ghost, after all, it couldn't be prevented.

Just as the two girls descended to the passage to look for Edwin, he appeared, unharmed.

Seeing this scene, Margaret looked a little stunned, "You... Are you alright? What about the empty ghosts? ”

Edwin shrugged, "It's all settled." ”

"You actually got rid of the empty ghost?" Margaret looked very surprised, the empty ghost was not an existence that humans could defeat, even though she admitted that Edwin might not be an ordinary person, but the empty ghost was even more unusual.

"If I hadn't solved it, I wouldn't be standing here, and I want you to leave first because you might be a burden to me." Edwin was blunt about this, and he didn't care if it would make the two girls unhappy.

The two girls were indeed unhappy, but as long as Edwin was okay, after all, he saved them.

"Now, you should be able to follow me to find the truth, right?" Edwin said playfully to Margaret.

Margaret was silent for a moment, then sighed slowly, "What you said is right, I really shouldn't let the truth go unexplored, if the danger is allowed to continue, sooner or later the entire Blackwater Town and even the entire island will cease to exist." ”

"Now that you understand, I need your help now, in this passage, I found several places with old seals, most likely left by the Hawkins family, of course it could be someone else, but there must be clues to where the Hawkins family went after that fire."

Margaret knew what Edwin needed from her as soon as she heard this, so she nodded, "I'll help you decipher those old seals, but I have one condition." ”

Edwin had expected this when he heard this, and smiled faintly, "Say, as long as the conditions are not too excessive, I can promise you." ”

"If you find the Hawkins family, I hope you can leave them to me to dispose of, after all, they are also members of Blackwater Island."

Margaret's condition was not excessive, and Edwin immediately nodded in agreement, and the three of them headed towards the place where the old seal was engraved.
