Chapter 48 Basement

"Search separately." Tang An said, if it really doesn't work, you can only take some valuables in the house and sell them for money, but that will always leave some troubles, such as follow-up, people may follow the stolen goods This thread finds itself.

Over there, Yang Baoguang walked towards the guest room, Tang An went to the study, the two of them were on the second floor, and the hound and Joseph went down to the first floor.

"Hound." Joseph looked up at this moment, pulled the hound in a low voice and said, "This is our chance."

The hound was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Joseph, don't mess around."

"Don't worry, those two people don't look easy to mess with. I won't cause trouble, but they don't want to control me. They will leave immediately after we make a fortune. I just noticed that this house has a basement. You Guess how many locks are on the door in the basement? Let me tell you, San Dao, and the basement is an iron door, which means there must be something good underneath." Joseph said excitedly, and the hound shook his head even though his heart was a little moved.

"Joseph, I suggest you follow Tang's arrangement. He is very trustworthy. He will give you money and let you go after he promises to be successful." The hound persuaded.

Joseph frowned.

He nodded and did not continue. Obviously, he only agreed on the surface, but he was extremely unconvinced in his heart.

The hound is also a human being, so why can't he see what Joseph is thinking, he can only secretly think that only after experiencing that horror can he truly realize the danger.

Joseph went to unlock the basement alone.

The hound followed a few steps away, looking at the entrance to the basement, frowning.

He is an extraordinary person with an extraordinary sense of smell. At this moment, he discovered that the stench that made him uneasy came from this basement.

"Joseph, be careful." The hound reminded that Joseph had opened the last lock at this moment. It must be said that his lockpicking ability was extremely high. Those tiny wires and steel sheets were like works of art in his hands. fly.

Hearing the hound's reminder, Joseph smiled and took out a dagger.

He found this dagger from the house. The workmanship is acceptable, and there is no problem with self-defense. Apparently, Joseph does not think that his life will be in danger in a basement that is obviously a vault. After all, the lock is locked from the outside. It is also impossible for the owner of the house to lock the bodyguards and guards underneath.

Of course, Joseph was also very cautious. He opened the door a crack and peeped carefully. After finding no one, he stepped in.

The hound behind hesitated for a moment and did not follow in, because when the door was opened, he obviously smelled an even more unpleasant smell.

This made him more and more uneasy.

As for Joseph, he was originally supposed to ask Tang An to come down and explore the basement together, but he was greedy and wanted to get some benefits for himself, so he went in by himself.

The basement space is not too small, and there are various tools underneath. In addition to the cabinet and several boxes, there is a workbench by the front wall. The oil lamp on the workbench is off, so the entire basement is pitch-black and cannot be seen clearly.

Joseph took out the matches and lit the oil lamp, which illuminated the basement.

At this time, Joseph saw an iron gate in the distance.

The rusty iron door made Joseph even more excited. He had seen rich people build darkrooms in the basement to hide their treasures.

The moment is to step forward and pick the lock with a lockpicking tool.

With a click, the lock cylinder was opened, and Joseph pulled the iron door open. Suddenly, a strong smell gushed out.

"Damn, what's the smell?" Joseph hurriedly covered his nose. In fact, when he was in the basement, he had already faintly smelled a smell, but it was still very weak, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

As a result, the smell behind the iron gate was so strong that he almost fainted from the smoke.

But before he could recover, he saw a figure appearing in the darkness in front of him.

This made Joseph startled. He really didn't expect that there were people here. At that moment, Joseph grabbed the dagger and held it horizontally in front of him. At the same time, he asked in a trembling voice: Who!
A low growl was his answer.

That's definitely not a human sound.

This was also the last sound Joseph heard, because the next moment, the black shadow rushed over and threw him to the ground, and then the sharp fangs tore open the throat of this genius locksmith.

Under the light of the oil lamp, a woman with disheveled hair and a foul smell, like a beast, was lying on Joseph's body and eating the poor ghost.

If Tang An saw this woman, he would definitely recognize it as a 'ghoul'.

At this time, there was a noise outside, which alarmed the female ghoul. She raised her head suddenly, revealing a hideous face. At this moment, her mouth was full of fangs, and Joseph's blood was all over her face.

The next moment, the female ghoul rushed out of the basement.

What Joseph thought before dying was that he finally knew why the basement was so tight. It turned out that it was to trap the female ghoul.

Unfortunately, he knew it too late.

Because the door of the basement was half-closed, the female ghoul almost slammed out directly, and the huge force knocked out a dent in the iron sheet on the inner door. The door can be smashed in one blow.

Even so, the huge noise shook the entire villa.

The female ghoul rushed out, but there was no one outside.

She was lying on all fours, really like a wild animal, with her head raised, as if she was sniffing something, but there was nothing outside except a bottle of red wine that was smashed on the ground.

Outside, in addition to the smell of red wine, there is already a strong smell of perfume, so some smells can be hidden in it.

The hound is an expert in the sense of smell, so he naturally understands the reason. He accidentally touched the red wine, but now, it can muddy the smell here, so that the ghoul can't find him for the time being.

The hound hiding behind a statue is now sweating from fright. He has already scolded Joseph bloody in his heart, so let him not be impulsive, and the other party will not listen. Something happened now, right?
The hound now realized why the doors and windows in this room are locked, and the walls are like iron walls, and volatile perfume is used. It turns out that there is a ghoul hiding here.

The copper and iron walls here are to prevent the ghoul from escaping, and the smell of perfume is to cover up the stink of the ghoul.

But now the hound knows that it is probably useless to scold that Joseph, the other party is probably cold.

Ghouls have poor eyesight, but a strong sense of smell. Of course, it is not better than the hound, the extraordinary sense of smell, but it is not much different.

Right now, as long as the ghoul takes a few steps to the side, he can see the hound hiding behind the statue. It can be said that his life is hanging by a thread now.

But maybe he was lucky, just when the ghoul was only a step away from him, and he only needed to turn his head to see him, there was a noise from the second floor above his head.

The female ghoul immediately ran towards the stairs.
