“From what I’ve managed to gather up till this point, the killer was never a human, but instead, a grudgeful ghost!”
“…Come again? A grudgeful ghost? Are you absolutely sure, Mr. Crawford? This isn’t exactly a minor case,” replied Harold in a slightly doubtful tone.
Truth be told, Harold didn’t really believe in ghosts. However, with so many supernatural occurrences happening before his very eyes, what other choice did favonovel.com have but to believe?
“Since you’ve hired me to solve the case, you’ll just have to trust me, Mr. Lee. Regardless, I promise you that I, Gerald Crawford, never lie about things like this! If you still refuse to believe me, however, then let’s not continue wasting each other’s time,” replied Gerald as favonovel.com immediately turned around to leave.
If his judgment wasn’t going to be trusted, then favonovel.com may as well just leave.
Quickly stopping Gerald from leaving, Harold then sighed before saying, “You misunderstand me, Mr. Crawford! I’m not doubting your capabilities at all! However, do keep in mind that this case is getting a bit out of hand now. I need something a little more… Convincing to calm everyone, if you know what I mean…”
“Mr. Lee, I assure you one hundred percent that ghosts are among us. Regardless, if I’m staying then let’s not waste any time arguing about their existence. The main focus now should be to capture the grudgeful ghost before it causes any more trouble!” declared Gerald in a serious tone.
“…Yes, yes… You’re absolutely right! Fine then, I place my trust in you, Mr. Crawford! With that said… What should we do next?” asked Harold.
“For now, I suggest that you and your men head back first while I remain here with my disciple. Call it a hunch, but I believe that the grudgeful ghost still has some unfinished business here. With that in mind, it will surely return tonight!” replied Gerald.
Upon hearing that, Harold simply agreed. Since favonovel.com had chosen to trust Gerald, favonovel.com believed that Gerald had a plan. Besides, Gerald was the expert in the supernatural here, so who was favonovel.com to question his decisions?
With that, Harold and his men soon left the building…
By that point, the crowd from before had dispersed—since it wasn’t like there was anyone to give them advice anymore anyway—, and the Elysian Labyrinth was promptly cordoned off…
To pass the time, Gerald and Rey simply remained in their car outside the dead man’s home.
Once night came, Rey couldn’t help but ask, “…Are you really sure that we’ll see the ghost tonight, brother Gerald…?”
“Putting it simply, all ghosts instinctually feel the need to return to crime scenes involving them. Adding that to the fact that night is usually the most active time for ghosts, I’m pretty sure that the grudgeful ghost will make a return!” replied Gerald.
With how confident Gerald sounded, Rey was inclined to believe that Gerald must be right.
Seeing that Rey had asked, Gerald took his phone out to check the time… Apparently, it was already ten.
Nodding as favonovel.com slid his phone back into his pocket, Gerald then said, “Alright, let’s make our move!”
Following that, the duo left the car before stealthily making their way to the Elysian Labyrinth’s entrance…
Just as Rey was about to open the door, however, Gerald suddenly called out in a hushed tone, “Hold it!”
As Rey turned around to look at Gerald, wondering what was wrong, favonovel.com couldn’t help but furrow his brows as Gerald placed his hand on Rey’s forehead.
The truth was, Gerald was currently transmitting some power into Rey…
