Chapter 207 Bat Statue

Lin Yeming's heart softened, and he gently took Lucia's hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry: "I'll go check it out, you keep watch for me."

Lucia felt a warm glow in her heart and smiled sweetly, nodding in response.

Lin Yeming squatted down and carefully examined the men in black lying on the ground.

These people were breathing evenly, as if they were in a deep coma. They had no obvious external injuries and appeared to have lost consciousness due to the influence of the illusion.

He searched the man in black, hoping to find some useful clues, but unfortunately, apart from some ordinary items, he found nothing related to the disappearance or the vampire faction.

Just then, Lin Yeming's phone vibrated; it was a message from Horii.

Horii said he had seen the photos and initially judged that the bat statue might be a key prop in some kind of evil ritual. Judging from the aura emanating from the statue, it was closely related to the vampire activities they had previously investigated.

Moreover, this ability to create illusions is likely a defensive mechanism set up by the vampire clan to protect secret bases or important items.

Lin Yeming replied to Horii, informing him of the current situation and that no clues had yet been found regarding the missing persons.

Horii remained silent for a while, then sent a message saying he would continue searching the database for relevant information to see if he could find a way to break the current situation and uncover the truth behind the disappearance.

Horii also mentioned something interesting.

Daigo and Shinjo also found the same investigation.

The first time, Lin Yeming asked him to mark their location and send it to him.

Lin Yeming put away his phone and turned his gaze back to the huge bat statue.

The statue's blood-red eyes seemed to exude endless gloom, and even knowing that the illusion had been broken, looking at it at this moment still gave one a chilling feeling.

“Lucia, come and take a look at this statue. Do you think something’s wrong with it?” Lin Yeming beckoned to Lucia.

Lucia hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked over.

She suppressed her fear and carefully observed the statue: "This statue looks eerie; it feels like it has a life of its own."

Lin Yeming nodded in agreement: "I have the same feeling. Perhaps this statue is not just a defensive device, but maybe it contains important clues about the disappearance case."

The two circled the statue several times, trying to find some mechanism or hidden information.

Suddenly, Lucia noticed that one of the stones at the base of the statue was a slightly different color from the surrounding stones and seemed to be loose.

“Lin Yeming, look here,” Lucia said, pointing to the rock.

Lin Yeming stepped forward and pushed the stone hard, and the stone slowly began to rotate.

As the stone rotated, subtle changes occurred on the statue; the bat wings, which had been tightly closed, opened slightly, revealing a recessed area in the middle of the wings.

In the recess, there is a strangely shaped groove that looks like a slot for some kind of key.

Lin Yeming and Lucia exchanged a glance. They realized that perhaps finding the corresponding key would unlock the secret hidden by the statue...

However, he did not act rashly, but instead took out his communicator and looked at the message that Horii had just sent.

The communicator screen displayed the progress of Daigo and Shinjo's investigation, along with their location markers, as well as Horii's additional information about Rena and the others.

Lin Yeming frowned and handed the communicator to Lucia: "Take a look, this is a message from Horii. The situation seems to be more complicated than we thought."

Lucia quickly glanced through the list and said worriedly, "It's one thing if Daigo and Shinjo run into them, but if Lina and Zara also run into them, this vampire incident is not simple."

Lin Yeming nodded: "That's right, it seems we still have to move this statue."

Seeing this, Lucia looked at Lin Yeming with concern.

Lin Yeming gently patted Lucia's shoulder, giving her a reassuring look: "Don't worry, I'll be careful. The situation is urgent, and this might be the key to finding a breakthrough."

As he spoke, Lin Yeming turned his gaze back to the strangely shaped groove, took a deep breath, and began to search the surroundings for clues that might be related to opening the statue.

He carefully observed every detail of the statue, not missing any possible clues.

Lucia wasn't idle either. She kept a watchful eye on her surroundings in case of any unexpected situations, while silently praying that everything would go smoothly.

As Lin Yeming was studying the statue, he noticed a row of tiny symbols along the edge of its wings, symbols that were somewhat similar to some records he had seen in ancient books.

He recalled some descriptions of vampire rituals in ancient texts and speculated that these symbols might be the key to activating the groove mechanism.

Following the clues in the ancient book from his memory, Lin Yeming tried to touch the symbols in a specific order.

As he completed his last action, a faint light emanated from the groove. Then, a small control panel slowly rose from inside the groove, covered with various strange runes.

"Lucia, come and take a look!" Lin Yeming called out.

Lucia rushed over, looking at the control panel that had suddenly appeared in front of her, and exclaimed in surprise, "How...how do I operate this?"

Lin Yeming carefully examined the runes on the panel, trying to recall the information Horii had sent him and the vampire knowledge he had previously acquired. After some thought, he tried pressing a rune that looked like a start button.

As he moved, more lights illuminated the control panel, and at the same time, a deep hum of operation came from inside the statue.

The wings, which had been still, began to vibrate slowly, and the surrounding air began to move, forming a slight whirlwind.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the recess, illuminating the entire basement.

Within the light, a three-dimensional image appeared, showing a series of strange scenes—a group of vampire-like figures were busy in a huge underground palace, surrounding a massive sphere emitting black light, seemingly performing some kind of mysterious ritual.

In another corner of the palace, many unconscious people were imprisoned; they were the missing people.

“So they were all imprisoned there!” Lucia said, pointing to the missing people in the picture.

Lin Yeming stared intently at the screen, trying to find clues about the location of this underground palace.

Just then, a landmark appeared in the scene—a towering black spire covered with runes similar to those on the statue.

“Look at this spire; perhaps finding it will lead us to the location of the underground palace,” Lin Yeming said.

However, before they could analyze it further, the image suddenly flickered and then disappeared.

At the same time, the statue stopped operating and returned to its previous state.

"Oh no, we have to tell Horii this right away and ask him to help us find the location of the spire." Lin Yeming said, hurriedly taking out his communicator.

Just as he was about to contact Horii, the communicator on his waist made a sound.

Lin Yeming glanced at it, then could only frown and leave with Lucia.

He called the police to come and rescue the person, and ordered a week of observation in accordance with regulations.
