Scooby-Doo : Mystery In Seoul

9

After the rehearsal, Shaggy and Scooby made their way through the bustling crowd in the auditorium, their hearts still racing from the mysterious events they had just witnessed. The energy in the room was palpable, a mix of excitement from the performance and lingering unease from the sudden interruption. Seventeen's music had resumed, but the shadowy figure and strange occurrences were at the forefront of Shaggy and Scooby's minds.

"Like, Scoob, we gotta find the gang and tell them what we just saw," Shaggy said, his voice shaky. Scooby nodded in agreement, his ears perked up and eyes wide. Together, they weaved through the crowd, searching for their friends. After a few minutes of navigating the throng of people, they spotted Fred, Daphne, and Velma near the entrance of the auditorium. Fred was leaning against the wall, chatting with Daphne, who was gesturing animatedly about the performance they had just watched. Velma stood next to them, her arms crossed as she listened intently to the conversation.

"Guys!" Shaggy called out as he approached them, a sense of urgency in his voice. "You won't believe what just happened!"

Fred turned to face them, a concerned look on his face. "What's going on, Shaggy? You and Scooby look like you've seen a ghost." 

"Or worse," Daphne added, her eyes widening as she noticed their worried expressions.

Shaggy took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart. "During the rehearsal, there was this black figure on stage. The lights started flickering, the sound system went haywire, and then we were hit by this weird wind. It was like something out of a horror movie!"

Scooby nodded vigorously, adding his own interpretation with a series of animated gestures and a few well-timed barks.

Fred's brow furrowed as he listened to their account. "A black figure? That's strange. Did you see where it went?"

Shaggy shook his head. "No, it disappeared as soon as the emergency lights came on. But Scooby and I found something backstage. A black hoodie, just lying there. It looked like it had been dropped in a hurry.

"Velma's eyes lit up with interest. "A black hoodie, you say? That's definitely suspicious. Where exactly did you find it?"

Shaggy pointed in the direction of the backstage area. "It was in one of the rooms back there, near the equipment. We followed the scent, and that's where we ended up."

Velma adjusted her glasses, a thoughtful expression on her face. "We should go take a look. There might be more clues that can help us figure out who or what is behind this.

"The gang quickly made their way to the backstage area, their senses on high alert. As they entered the dimly lit corridors, they could hear the faint sounds of the crew working to ensure everything was in order for the concert. The atmosphere was tense, and the gang could feel the weight of the mystery hanging in the air. 

Fred took the lead, his eyes scanning the area for any signs of unusual activity. "Shaggy, Scooby, show us where you found the hoodie."

Shaggy led them to the small room where they had discovered the black hoodie. The room was cluttered with various pieces of equipment, wires, and props. In the center of the room, on the floor, lay the black hoodie that had caught Shaggy and Scooby's attention.

Velma knelt down to examine the hoodie. She picked it up carefully, turning it over in her hands. "This doesn't look like it belongs to any of the crew members. The fabric is thick, like it's meant to be used for outdoor wear. And look at this," she said, pointing to a small patch on the sleeve. It was an emblem of a crescent moon, similar to the pendant Shaggy and Scooby had found earlier.

Daphne leaned in for a closer look. "That's strange. Why would someone wear something like this to a rehearsal? It doesn't make sense."

Fred nodded in agreement. "And the fact that it was left behind in such a hurry suggests that whoever wore it didn't want to be seen."
