Dark Tales: Edgar Allan Poe's The Gold Bug Full Version

Dupin!

I'm so glad you came, and that you brought a friend.

I've make an incredible discovery!

I think - no, I believe that I've found the key to Captain Kidd's legendary treasure.

Did you know he sailed here in the 17th century? And you'll never believe this - what brought him here was an unusual insect.

A golden bug!

Do you see that?!

See it?!

The skull? On its shell? It's the same symbol on the parchment I found.

Head over to my office.

I'll join you in a moment.

I've got something to show you.

Stand back!

You'll regret this!

I promise you!

That villain form the pier was here, but it looks like we seared him away.

We should find out what he was looking for.

Look, the trespasser dropped something.

What is it? There, on the fireplace grale.
