Chapter 240 240. There will be no peace tonight
When I came out of the basement, it was already raining heavily outside the house, and the window glass was covered with a layer of water vapor.

The three of them brought the sculpture to a reception room, drinking coffee while studying the sculpture.

Professor Derby is most interested in the study of sculpture. While observing with his large telescope, he muttered some incomprehensible nouns.

In contrast, although Walred is very keen on sculptures, he does not have much interest in in-depth research.

"It's getting late."

Seeing the old professor fumbled and knocked for a long time without seeing any results, the owner of the house first lost his patience.

He sat on a high-backed chair, propped his chin with one hand, and suppressed his tiredness to yawn halfway.

"Tomorrow we are going to search for the lost town of Innsmouth. Tonight, we should have a good rest and recharge our spirits."

"If... it is possible, I would like to study it more carefully." The old professor glanced at Bai Ye and Walred respectively, and explained in a hurried voice: "I have never seen the craftsmanship used in this kind of sculpture. Yes, um... its material is also very special...give me a little more time and I'll be able to see some clues, hell, if only I had the tools on hand now."

"Professor, our main purpose is to use sculptures to break the seal of the ancient gods. We mortals are not qualified to study such god-made objects in detail. I advise you to give up."

Val Reed glared at Professor Derby with a strange warning in his eyes.

"Okay...Okay, it's because I didn't think it through enough."

Professor Derby took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, not daring to disobey Val Reid's words.

Then, Walred proposed that he should keep the three sculptures tonight. Bai Ye thought about it, and chose to take back the two sculptures belonging to the Explorers' Association for safekeeping.

"Well, after all, they are still the property of the Explorers' Association."

Val Reed shrugged regretfully, and said something weird.

……

Bai Ye was assigned to the guest room on the second floor. After the fishy-looking servant took him to his place, he whispered that he lives in the room at the end of the corridor. Shout out.

After entering the room, Bai Ye looked around and noticed that there were two doors in this ten-square-meter bedroom, one was used to enter and exit the corridor, and the other seemed to be used to lead to the next room.

Professor Edward Derby lived in the next room. Not long after Bai Ye entered the guest room, he heard him knocking on the small door next door.

"Can you lend me the sculpture to study, I only need one."

The old professor didn't study to understand that the sculpture was very unwilling to give up, and he was eagerly hoping that Bai Ye would agree.

"Is this kind of sculpture really so rare?"

Bai Ye remembered that Rick Jones had said exactly the same lines as Professor Derby before, saying that the craftsmanship of this sculpture was very unique and had never been seen before.

"It's true, at least I've never seen it before."

The professor pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Then what do you think of what Valred said...about the ancient god?"

Bai Ye changed the question again.

"This... I personally think this should be just a legend, but what Master Izzy said is very serious. Perhaps the town of Innsmouth really exists somewhere, and these sculptures may be the keys to unlock the mechanism."

"You know, sometimes the wisdom of ancient people is beyond the imagination of modern people, especially in terms of organ layout, they can always think of thousands of ways."

The old professor read a few words, and then began to urge Bai Ye to give him a sculpture for research.

There are three sculptures in total, and according to Valred's meaning, the seal of the ancient god cannot be lifted without one.

Bai Ye didn't hand over the sculpture to Valrid at the time, not because he was afraid of losing it, but because he felt that there might be more secrets behind the sculpture that he didn't know but that Valrid knew.

If only one sculpture was given to Professor Derby for research, on the one hand, it might be possible to decipher the deep secret of the sculpture, and on the other hand, there would be no possibility of concentrating all three sculptures in the hands of Walred.

He then took out one of the golden sculptures from the black box and handed it to Professor Edward Derby.

This made the old professor very happy, and said on the spot that he must study the sculpture all night tonight, just like a scientific research madman.

……

After sending Professor Derby away, after the small door connecting the two guest rooms was closed, Bai Ye sat down on the big bed in the corner of the room, and carefully reviewed all the strange phenomena that he encountered after arriving at Izezu's house.

First of all, there was that weird servant who smelled like fish. Although he didn't seem to have done anything out of the ordinary, his existence was a suspicious symbol.

Then there was the crazy woman who broke into the banquet hall. She seemed to have the intention of asking Bai Ye for help, so what happened to this woman?Is it true that, as Walred Eze described, he was mentally troubled by the shock of his father's sudden death?

Then there is the owner of this mansion, Walred Yize. Because of his preconceived impression, Bai Ye still had a certain degree of trust in this character at the beginning, but because of the relevant sculpture given by this young master Yize The source and use of the book are full of loopholes, and the behavior towards his wife Asanas is quite weird, so that Bai Ye gradually changed from "general trust" to "lost trust".

Bai Ye felt that Valred was too obsessed with breaking the seal of the ancient god, which made him even more eager to take all three sculptures into his own hands.

If it hadn't been for the sudden heavy rain outside, perhaps the young master would have left for Innsmouth tonight.

Outside the window, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops were pattering on the dark window. From time to time, a flash of lightning flashed through the dark clouds, illuminating the dark land as bright as day.

"I have a bad feeling, I feel like something will happen tonight..."

Bai Ye lay on his back on the big bed, the tip of his nose was filled with a slightly musty smell on the bedding.

After lying like this for about half an hour, he suddenly heard a short and slight cry from the next room, and then it seemed that something was knocked over and fell on the floor.

Two short seconds later, he heard the sound of the door opening from the next door.

"Professor Derby? Has he left the room? What is he going to do?"

Bai Ye immediately sat up from the bed, and after thinking for a while, walked over and knocked on the middle door.

There was no response from the other side.

"Looks like something bad happened."
