Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 1778: Punches

Looking at how the left corner of his lips curled up, Haley, who was more observant, knew that this matter wasn’t simple!

However, when he opened the door and gestured in welcome, she could only step inside.

How was it that he could open the door without a key? Of course, that was an unimportant detail.

The only light in the dark mansion was from outside.

But they weren’t ordinary people, and could still clearly see their surroundings.

All the furniture was covered in dust; it was obvious that nobody had been here for a long time.

Haley looked at Luke again, and he raised his hand to indicate for her to carry on.

She could only go to the living room.

There was no one in the empty living room. The junk had long been packed up, and there were only a few big pieces of furniture. It was eerie.

Haley stopped looking at Luke. She glanced around before she went up the stairs.

The living room and kitchen on the first floor of this big house were public spaces where everybody would often gather.

The bedrooms and lounge upstairs were personal spaces where people rested less often.

She didn’t know what she needed to find here, but as long as she did a methodical search, she should be able to get the answer.

......

Staring at Haley, who didn’t show any abnormalities at all, Luke nodded inwardly. The symbiote was indeed utterly immune to mental abilities.

When he entered, the system had sent him a notification:?Unknown negative energy detected. Accept? Yes / No.

Unlike the first time he came here back then, Luke didn’t decisively leave. Instead, he showed Haley around the mansion.

After one round, Haley looked around the bedroom with a puzzled expression.

Turning to look at him, she finally couldn’t help but ask, “Is someone secretly living here?”

Luke thought for a moment, then shook his head. “Not exactly.”

After all, this house used to belong to that family.

Haley was still confused. “This master bedroom looks like it’s been used all this time. There isn’t even any dust. But there are no traces in the dust on the way here. How did they enter? Could it be…”

She looked at the window, and Luke gestured that she could do whatever he wanted.

Haley went to the window and looked out.

This mansion had been abandoned for a long time, and the trees in the backyard hadn’t been pruned.

When the night wind blew, the leaves rustled, and the light outside turned dim, which could make people nervous.

In the shadows of the trees, it was hard to see what was going on outside.

Hesitating for a moment, she opened the two bedroom windows one after another.

The dust outside the window suggested that nobody had used them to get in.

Haley’s mind whirled. “Is it teleportation?”

It was a reasonable guess that he had brought her here to catch a superhuman.

Luke jumped out the window next to her.

Stumped for a moment, Haley climbed out the window awkwardly and took a few more steps on the wooden ledge before she jumped onto the grass in the backyard.

As soon as she landed, she turned around and looked in the direction of Luke’s gaze.

He had twisted around as he landed so that he was facing the back of the house.

“The basement?” Haley confirmed.

Luke nodded and walked to the basement door on the side.

Haley was a little nervous when she saw that the door was unlocked.

“Go in?” She swallowed, her heart pounding. She was so curious and excited that she got goosebumps.

Luke didn’t answer. He slowly turned his head and looked to the left.

Alarmed, Haley looked over.

Through the trees on the left, a thin figure was standing motionless behind a wooden fence dozens of meters away.

Haley’s hair stood on end. Holy sh*t! Was it really a ghost story tonight?

Otherwise, why was this person standing at the fence in the middle of the night?

This was an uninhabited mansion. Who would look at them from the fence in the middle of the night?

Luke suddenly turned around and flew lightly toward the figure.

Haley trembled slightly. While she was feeling surprised and afraid, a huge lump of emotions welled up inside her.

Her feelings gradually turned complicated with excitement; it was as if an electric current was running through her, and her face flushed red.

She really liked this sort of unknown and strange thing, and subconsciously wanted to explore it.

The Joker was with her now; it was perfect.

Good things should be shared with others.

So, was he sharing this wonderful journey with her?

Thinking quickly, she ran after him.

However, her movements were a little… strange.

Imagine a girl who wasn’t good at sports, running the 100 meters with her hands and feet tied together – that was pretty much how Haley was moving right now.

But she was very fast. In just a few breaths, she reached Luke and looked at the person behind the fence with bright eyes.

It was a thin, white woman in her sixties.

She was wearing a rough purple cardigan and a red and yellow dress. At first glance, she looked like a normal old lady.

In front of Luke and Haley, who had flown over so quickly, the old woman still had a faint smile on her face, as if she were watching puppies playing in the courtyard in the afternoon.

It was very strange.

After staring at her for a few seconds, Luke turned around and said to Haley, “You, hit her.”

Haley: “Huh?”

Luke said, “Beat her up.”

Haley reacted and lunged at the old woman without hesitation, punching her in the face.

That was because her smile was very unpleasant and nowhere was cool as the Joker’s.

The old woman didn’t move and kept smiling.

The next moment… her face was flattened, and she was sent flying ten meters by Haley’s explosive punch.

Haley, who had no combat experience, was also stunned for a moment. She drew back her fist and examined it.

She had never thought that she would one day send someone flying ten meters, and it would be an old granny in her sixties to boot.

Luke said calmly, “Carry on.”

Haley: “Huh?”

Did he want her to continue beating the sh*t out of the old woman?

She looked at the old woman, who had gotten to her feet.

She stared at Haley in surprise. “You can hit me?”

Haley didn’t know what she meant, but Luke had a rough idea – just before the attack, the old woman’s mental fluctuations had increased.

If Haley were an ordinary person, she would’ve already reacted abnormally to this mental attack.

Unfortunately, people with symbiotes were immune to mental abilities.

Haley wasn’t stupid. In fact, she was extremely smart.

Thinking quickly, she realized that the old woman wouldn’t die so easily, which was why Luke had told her to continue.

Without any hesitation, she lunged forward again and punched her.
