Chapter 855

Every time the clock was turned a notch, the internal machinery made a "click" sound, crisp and solid, as if a mechanism door to an unknown world was opening.

Click, click, click.

The sound of the mechanical transmission became more and more continuous; everyone could hear clearly that a complex mechanism was starting up behind the wall.

This treasure... it won't be small!

As the hour hand was turned to the correct position, suddenly with a click, the clock that had been fixed to the wall instantly fell off and rolled onto the ground.

A pitch-black hole was revealed behind the wall, and the sound of mechanical devices transmitting came from within.

This rumbling, strange noise soon echoed throughout the entire villa, even accompanied by a slight tremor of the ground.

The last line of the code... the earth changes color!

"What happened?"

Kaitou Kid looked confused, looking around at the surrounding walls.

Others also showed varying degrees of shock, not knowing what the so-called treasure meant.

"Let's go, the entrance is in the courtyard."

Akaso Kaze said a word and walked toward the door first.

Everyone came outside the building; the center of the courtyard had originally been a dried-up fountain pool.

Now it had turned into a huge hole, revealing a staircase leading to the dark underground.

The stairs led to the dark underground world, and a cold, chilling aura rushed toward them, making everyone hesitate whether to continue exploring.

However, Akaso Kaze had already walked down, and Senma Furuyo followed behind without the slightest fear.

At her age, there was nothing left to be afraid of.

Gunta Ikumi and Kaitou Kid also followed down quickly.

Compared to staying on the ground, it was safer to be by Akaso Kaze's side.

Mogi Harufumi and Hakuba Saguru looked at each other and couldn't resist the temptation of the truth, walking down the stairs.

When their footsteps stepped onto the stairs and their bodies were in the darkness, everyone could feel the eeriness and dampness here.

Everyone turned on their flashlights one after another; there was more light around, but the range they could illuminate was very limited, basically completely invisible beyond five meters.

On both sides were pitted gray walls.

After walking down about a few dozen steps, they arrived at a platform.

Everyone stopped in their tracks immediately.

In front of them were dense piles of withered bones, covering the entire platform.

It looked like at least a thousand people, or even more; they were too numerous to count.

In the center of the platform stood a huge black shadow, as if it had absorbed all the light.

Everyone turned their flashlights to the maximum and shone them on it, only to discover that it was actually a statue over ten meters high.

A statue in the shape of a crow, with its wings folded and its head lowered, as if in a sleeping posture.

The statue was carved vividly; every single black feather on its body was clear, almost as if it were real.

Just as everyone was marveling, Akaso Kaze pointed in a certain direction.

He said to Senma Furuyo: "Your father's remains and belongings are there. Take them away, and my commission will be completed. Be quick; we don't have much time left."

Senma Furuyo was stunned for a moment and immediately ran over.

Although she was at this age, her legs and feet were still agile.

She crushed quite a few withered bones along the way, but she couldn't care about that anymore.

She arrived at the place Akaso Kaze was pointing to.

She lowered her head, and tears suddenly flowed down.

The skeleton lay on the ground with both hands on its chest; between the skeleton's fingers, one could still see a black-and-white photo, a family portrait of three.

Senma Furuyo was very familiar with the people in the photo.

It was her parents and herself.

"Father!"

Senma Furuyo cried and reached out her hand.

As she touched it, the photo instantly shattered into several pieces, and the skeleton also broke apart.

"Lord Akaso!" Senma Furuyo turned back with a pleading expression.

Akaso Kaze waved his hand, and the entire skeleton was surrounded by an invisible force, flying up flatly and disappearing into the void.

"Go back and find a coffin, and I will give it to you then."

"Thank you, Lord Akaso!"

Senma Furuyo was very grateful; she lowered her head and picked up a leather bag. If she remembered correctly, this was also her father's relic.

"Looking at it this way, the legend of the auction is probably fake."

Hakuba Saguru, who was beside them, suddenly said.

"What exactly happened here?"

Everyone looked at the withered bones around them, their hearts filled with strong curiosity about everything that had happened here.

Akaso Kaze waved his hand.

An illusion rose in the underground space, but there was no sound.

One human figure after another walked down from the stairs behind them.

Most of them were scholars, and there were also many men in black, who forced the scientists to explore forward with guns.

These illusory figures arrived at the platform, where there were originally corpses; they stepped on the corpses, arrived at the center, and surrounded the statue.

Suddenly, the statue moved, and a piece of darkness spread rapidly, submerging all the illusions.

The illusion disappeared; because it was too long ago, these were the only remaining images here.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the crow statue in the center.

"Huh? That statue's head... was it also raised just now?"

Kaitou Kid asked in surprise.
