Several onlookers turned their gaze toward the tranquil surface of the canal, but nothing appeared out of the ordinary amidst the sparkling water.
"No!"
"Yeah, I didn't see anything either," someone said.
However, one staff member who had detected the anomaly persisted, affirming, "I'm telling you, I saw it with my own eyes. There was a massive black shadow on the water's surface, almost a hundred meters long, and it passed by swiftly."
Sceptical glances and dismissive headshakes met the staff member's claim. Another person quipped, "Croft, your vision must be blurred. How could something of such enormous size exist?"
"I assure you, I saw it—a colossal creature, moving at an astonishing speed," Croft insisted.
"Croft, you must have been drinking at night. It's likely just alcohol-induced hallucinations," someone mocked.
