Chapter 265 Fear, Despair and Death

The old newspapers and notebooks were handed over to Ronan, and some were even preserved at the beginning of the last century. At that time, the mines near Park Town had not been mined, and the mining and smelting industries were prosperous, and it was still called Park City.

Dunn opened the notebook again and said, "This is the diary of Korney, a director of the steel factory. I found it from the club in the abandoned factory."

He thought for a while, and then said: "I have searched for Korney in many ways, but I have never found anyone. No one knows where he went."

Ronan nodded slightly: "Don't you know what happened in the newspaper?"

Dunn said: "I heard people from the older generation mention it, but most of them thought it was an accident."

Ronan carefully read several newspapers, and then read the diary, and the two sides happened to corroborate each other.

In newspapers and diaries, the only thing that is the same is the record of two things.

Before the outbreak of the First World War, there was a big explosion at the Parker Steel Works on Easter. The factory buildings and ironworks ignited a raging fire, killing dozens of people!
Decades later, a Parktown pub burst into flames during the busiest part of the night, killing dozens of people.

These two incidents were later investigated and officially classified as accidents because no traces of man-made incidents were found.

It is not particularly uncommon for the same town to have two major safety accidents in decades.

In the diary of the director of the iron and steel factory, there are some different contents recorded.

He had reported it to the authorities and the police, but others believed that the accident at the steel plant had hit him too hard and had a severe impact on his spirit.

In other words, many people thought Korney was crazy.

Korney's diary records that on the night of the steel factory explosion and the bar fire, he witnessed some weird phenomena, and there were many balloons tied together floating in the sky!
Instead of flying, it's hovering over the exploding plant and bar!

Twice in the diary were similar words: "It didn't fly, it just stopped in the air, and there it was! It was full of inflated balloons! When it came to rest, disaster happened!"

Ronan recalls two accidents while filming in Park Town, both with balloons floating up!

The first time it happened, outside the makeup trailer, it scared the world-weary female model who was traveling with Carolina with her chest as flat as her back!
Because Carolina came out in time, there were no more surprises.

So there is a second time?

Originally, he and Ping Qi had inspected and confirmed that the building was relatively strong, but it collapsed for no reason. If it wasn't for his quick response, the world-weary female model would probably die.

There were also balloons floating.

Good luck for a world-weary female model?So survived.

No, the female model with a world-weary face is dead!
Died in the only hotel in Park Town, eaten by voodoo zombies!

Were there balloons floating over the hotel at that time?
Ronan was so focused on dealing with the voodoo zombies that he didn't pay attention at all.

But Ma Rui from the voodoo religion came to Park Town with despair and death, and bloodbathed the whole town with voodoo zombies, and the female model with a world-weary face died in the attack.

These previously ignored details, inspired by old newspapers and Korner's diary, gave Ronan a new guess.

Maybe killing the female model with a world-weary face was just a little game of the devil. If the devil has his eyes on her, he must achieve his goal?

But the devil's own power is limited in its external influence?So to borrow another way?Or just plain having fun.

After all, one cannot use human thinking to guess the thoughts of an abyssal devil.

Thomas read the relevant records in the diary, and said in a low voice: "The floating of the balloon may have a special meaning for that weirdness, such as using the balloon as a force carrier, or using the balloon as a symbol."

He is a high-achieving student who graduated from a regular seminary and has received a complete supernatural education. The church and the devil have always been enemies in name: "Different monsters have different personalities or signs. Maybe in the world of the devil, floating a balloon means death. , and devils are often very vengeful, and like to play tricks on people."

Ronan said, "I've seen balloons floating."

That time when he left Park Town, the thing under the pool floated a balloon to see him off, and also sent him a big word - despair and death!

Thomas heard Ronan say these things: "It may remember you."

Ronan has too many debts to worry about, he is just an abyss devil subordinate to Ligeba, Lilith, the demon queen of the endless abyss, still remembers him.

There are also agencies such as the Secret Service and the CIA in the United States, which are much more difficult to deal with than the devil.

After asking some more questions, Old Dunn said everything he knew: "That's all I know. I had a falling out with my son's family and moved out of Park Town. I decided to let go of these things, but I lost the person I loved the most there. ..."

There were faint tears in his eyes: "I hope these can help you, if... If you can destroy that weird thing, please help me give it a hard shot!"

"We will," Thomas said.

Dunn said again: "If you can find the ... relics of my grandson George, please give them to me?"

Thomas nodded.

Dunn said: "The day George disappeared, he was wearing a yellow jacket." He remembered one more thing: "You'd better go to the workers' club in the abandoned steel factory, maybe you can find other clues."

He also carefully described the location of the workers' club.

This club was founded by Korner that year.

Ronan said: "Thank you for providing these, which are very helpful to our work."

A group of people posing as FBI agents quickly left and took old newspapers and Korney's diary.

The three of them drove out of Nevada and headed straight for western California without any stops.

On the way, several plans were discussed.

Now that you know where the enemy is, of course you have to be prepared.

Ronan had been to Park Town once, and he quickly found the intersection leading to Park Town along Route 66.

After a while, the river coming down from the mountain blocked the road.

The stone bridge that originally led to Park Town was blown up by Ma Rui's men when Park Town was attacked by voodoo zombies.

The car stopped by the river, and Ronan said, "We're going to walk next."

Entering Park Town from the other side requires climbing several hills, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

After getting out of the car and opening the trunk, Ronan said, "This time it's not an ordinary enemy, I have specially prepared some weapons."

He picked up a large-caliber grenade launcher and threw it to Mad Bull Bill: "It can launch special incendiary bombs and high-explosive grenade."

Mad Bull Bill took it over and held it in his arms. The heavy weapon gave people a feeling of dependability: "I like this thing!"

After taking off his jacket, he changed into a combat uniform and a tactical vest, and Bill picked up the two ammunition belts in the box and put them on his back, plus his own firearm and saber, and he was armed to the teeth.

What Ronan threw at Thomas was his favourite: "Shotgun! Father, you mainly support us with holy magic!"

Nominally, the church and the devil are irreconcilable!

Thomas carried a gun and ammunition on his back, a mace at his waist, a cross wrapped around his wrist, and an angel crystal in his hand.

Ronan took advantage of the time when the two of them were changing clothes, and tidied up the space of the ring a little bit. The powerful bombs and incendiary bombs were ready before going to Las Vegas.

All kinds of firearms and ammunition are readily available.

Three voodoo stand-in dolls are carried with him, and Bill and Thomas were equipped with three before.

The limit that a second-tier professional can use in a short period of time is three dolls.

The Earthbound totem is in the pocket of the tactical vest emblazoned with the FBI logo.

The Bow of Saladin and the walnut arrows equipped with it can be taken out at any time, and the five black arrows have already been prepared as one of the trump cards.

People in Assassin said that Saladin used this bow with black arrows to shoot the devil.

The katana and crossed swords used in close combat have blotted out the holy water left over from the last trip to the British Shetland Islands.

The ability of soul whip can consume soul fragments to summon spiritual whip at any time.

This ability not only affects the body, it can also harm the soul!
Ronan put the AA-12 shotgun on his back again, went to a place with relatively firm terrain, and set up the first teleportation beacon.

After Thomas was armed, he stroked his beard and pointed to the 20-meter-wide river: "Shall we swim across?"

"Wait for me." Ronan jumped to a high tree and fixed the zipline.

After getting down, he ran to the river, jumped up, flew up like a big bird, jumped over the river more than 20 meters wide, and fixed the zipline on the stone pier on the opposite bank.

Mad Bull Bill gritted his teeth and asked Thomas, "You exorcist priests claim to be physically strong, and you can jump over it."

Thomas said: "I can't jump that far, he is a pervert, don't compare him to me, it's not fair!"

Ronan beckoned: "Come here!"

The two took the holster of the zipline, grabbed it and slid over.

As soon as he landed, Bill couldn't help being curious and asked, "Boss, can you pass the third level?"

Ronan said casually: "I killed seven or eight, maybe more? I don't remember clearly."

After all, too many enemies were killed by him, so it's hard to say what the actual combat ability is.

Bill followed him towards the town: "Boss, are you the leader of an organization?"

Thomas gave him a wink, telling him not to ask more questions than he should.

Ronan said vaguely, "I'm an anti-American terrorist, dreaming of dismembering this federation."

The answer was not what Bill expected: "We are all wanted by the United States." He suddenly became interested: "Disintegrate the United States? Independent states? Let's make a country for ourselves?"

Ronan told the truth: "I don't have such ability."

Remember the people on the Sioux side, wanting to bring the Indians back.

The feathered snake under the Yellowstone seems to be the key.

Can it be released?

Americans have always said that the Yellowstone volcano erupted and the whole world would be ruined. Could it be related to this?

Entering Park Town, it has been uninhabited for a long time, weeds are growing wildly in many courtyards, and dust and gravel are piled up on the ground.

In some places, there are still traces of the explosion and violent burning that day.

The corpses and voodoo zombies have already been cleaned up by the Secret Service.

Finding a suitable location, Ronan set up a second teleportation beacon.

Pass through the deserted Park Town and come to the abandoned steel factory. According to Dunn's location, you will soon find the almost collapsed workers' club.

The three of them were frighteningly strong and energetic, one of them kept vigilant, and the two took turns searching for ways to find a lot of things from the workers' club.

When Ronan pried open the rubble, he found a basement. The entrance to the basement had already been blocked. After prying away the bricks on the ground, the entrance was revealed.

The basement seemed to be a place to store wine. After a period of wind, Ronan and Thomas went down.

At the table, between the barrel and the rack, lay a dead man.

Strangely, this person did not rot, but turned into a mummy instead, his face was extremely distorted, his mouth opened unnaturally, as if he had been greatly frightened before he died.

It's like being scared to death alive!
Thomas took out his gloves and put them on, and went to inspect the corpse: "There is no wound on the body, but it turned into a mummy. The situation is not normal."

Ronan was checking elsewhere, there was another table in the basement.

Thomas tested the elasticity of the corpse's skin, opened his suit jacket, and took out the wallet inside. There was a certificate in it: "Korney! He's Korner!"

Ronan said, "The director of the steel factory?"

Thomas searched again, only to find a pen in his coat pocket: "It should be him."

Ronan took the document and glanced at it: "Dun can't find anyone, so he died here."

Thomas looked at the entrance: "It's still sealed in the basement."

Ronan opened the desk drawer and found a diary. Because of poor preservation, many papers were eaten by moths.

But some are still distinguishable.

"From the handwriting, it's the same." Ronan took out the factory director's diary from Dunn from the badge space: "The handwriting is the same."

Thomas looked at the few pages left in the diary, and read softly: "I have been hearing people screaming recently, blood is everywhere in the house, the bathroom, living room and bedroom are full of blood, I can't take it anymore, I want to hide Get up and hide somewhere where it can't find me!"

"I hid in the underground wine cellar of the Workers' Club. No one disturbed me here, and no one knew about it! There is wine to drink here. Alcohol can make me no longer afraid and let me find a sense of security."

"It's coming, it's coming again! I hear the screams of the dead, blood gushing everywhere! It's them! It's them! The dead from the steel mills are coming back to me! They're coming, they're bleeding! I'm so scared... …Fear, endless fear, the more I am afraid, the more miserable they scream, the more blood flows out, I will be drowned in blood! Severed limbs, corpses, everywhere, they are by my side! I Desperate! I want to die, maybe I can get rid of it if I die!"

Ronan and Thomas both capture the key to this piece of the record - fear, despair and death!

Thomas flipped through the moth-eaten pages, found another recognizable one, and read on: "Here it is! It's staggering down the stairs! It's grinning! It says it was there before man was born." on Earth."

"It claims to be the last survivor of a certain species in the real world. On this dying planet, the purpose of its existence is to snatch all the women and rape all the men!"

"It will read your mind, become what you fear most in your heart, and use fear to suck your soul! The more you fear, the stronger it will be! It calls itself Death Ray!"

Afterwards, most of the pages were moth-eaten, and the part where the text could be read was also the gibberish of Korner in extreme fear, which was not of much value.

Ronan put away the diary and suddenly had a premonition of danger!

"Go!" When the words came out, Ronan and Thomas rushed straight to the exit!
Mad Bull Bill, who was guarding outside, shouted at this time: "Come out! Come on! There are balloons! There are balloons floating!"

Ronan and Thomas rushed out from the basement. The walls of the collapsed Workers' Club swayed, as if they had been supported to the extreme. With a bang, the originally solid wall collapsed and hit the basement, blocking the exit!

Mad Bull Bill raised the grenade launcher and aimed it in the air.

Ronan and Thomas came to the side, looking at the sky above the Workers' Club.

A dilapidated red balloon is floating up.

Ronan turned on his spirit vision and looked around, just like when he first came to Park Town, he didn't find anything unusual
Then, he activated his mind's eye and switched to the perspective of the raven in the sky. He also found nothing.

The balloon rose up and popped, and the worn-out balloon skin floated towards the waterfall pool.

Ronan nodded at Bill, and Bill aimed slightly, and fired a white phosphorus incendiary bomb with a bang, hitting the balloon skin, and the ball skin burned and quickly turned into fly ash.

Holding the angel crystal in his hand, Thomas chanted the mantra in Latin: "The light of the Lord be with us!"

The golden light fell on the three of them, and the three of them immediately reached their peak physical and mental states.

Thomas said softly, "It knows we're coming!"

Ronan said, "Father, you are a professional, what advice do you have regarding our findings?"

Thomas thought for a while, and said: "The balloon is like a magic beacon, and the power of the death light cannot be transmitted too much for the time being, so we can only use some mysterious means."

He also said the diary he read in the basement: "If there are no serious mistakes in Korner's records, this abyss devil should be a remnant left in the real world a long time ago. The real world lacking magic power is not suitable for his activities, so he can only hide in the dark Replenish your own energy with some shady means."

Mad Bull Bill asked, "Supplements? Cannibals? Or souls?"

Thomas said: "Not only these, but also fear! Its power comes from fear. Despair and death may be the embodiment of the power he has mastered! I have seen records similar to devils in the church's classics. Fear is their own growth The best nourishment, the more fearful the opponent is, the stronger it will be! It will stimulate the hidden fear in your heart and easily defeat you!"

Ronan said: "This matter is very troublesome! With external strength and inner strength, it is difficult to guarantee that no fear will arise!"

Everyone, even a person whose will is as strong as steel, has something to fear in his heart.

For example, a furious father, a teacher who slaps a face, a school bully who bullies, even snakes and caterpillars may unknowingly plant seeds of fear in people's hearts.

I have long forgotten it in normal times, but when I dreamed back at midnight, a nightmare appeared.

Adults hide their fear, don't think about it or talk about it, and keep it deep in their hearts, but it doesn't mean that it really disappears.

Thomas exhorted in a professional tone: "Fear is the most primitive power! The Lord said that the best way to overcome the most primitive power is also to use primitive power! The Lord said that when we are full of confidence and fearless, Unnecessary courage and faith are the most powerful forces against fear!"

The essence of his exorcist priest has not changed: "Let's go under the pool, find it, and kill it!"

Mad Bull Bill was quite helpless: "These idealistic things are the most annoying! Father, don't you not believe in the Lord?"

Thomas raised his hand: "But I can continue to use the power of the Lord to cast out demons!"

Ronan said: "Since we are here, let's go and have a look first, don't worry, there is a special power that will take care of us."

Bill and Thomas followed Ronan out of the steel plant, and the former asked, "What power? Why can't I feel it?"

Ronan said softly: "The brilliance of the God of Art always shines on us!"

The abyss devil knew they were coming, and it was very likely that he would recognize him. What should I do?
What Thomas said is indeed a way, to go deep into the water pool with unnecessary courage and belief, to find and defeat the abyss devil.

But running to someone else's home field, or underground, is not wise.

If there were other options available, Ronan would never hastily drill deep underground and go to other people's home courts to fight.

Bringing back so many great art gods from the Middle East, you have to give it a try.

Ronan was already prepared for this, and had done some experiments before going to Las Vegas.

On the mountain ahead, another red balloon floated up, as if the local host was welcoming a distinguished guest!

Mad Bull Bill touched his nose and said, "This devil is molesting us? Father, didn't you say that it wants to rob all women and rape all men..."

As he spoke, his eyes drifted unconsciously to the back of Thomas's buttocks: "Should we add some special protection?"

Thomas asked back: "What special protection? Chili powder?"

Mad Bull Bill picked up the grenade launcher: "If it dares to come, I'll give its second child a white phosphorus incendiary bomb!"

Infected by these two people, Ronan said, "Both of you, muster up the courage in your hearts, show your firm belief and indomitable spirit when facing the girl from Sexy Street, let's go up the mountain together, and have a chat with the devil of the abyss The true meaning of life!"

The road up the mountain was overgrown with weeds because no one had walked it for a long time. Ronan came here once and led the way towards the waterfall pool.

Talk about his thoughts on the way.

The old red balloon has been floating in the sky, and when I walked in, I found that the balloon was floating directly above the water pool.

Thomas picked up his gun and popped the balloon with a bang!

The specially made ammunition ignited the gas ball skin, and the broken ball skin was burned to ashes and fell on the water pool.

Several people detoured down the mountain road and gradually approached the green pool.

The area of ​​this pool is not particularly large, and it is the dry season of the year. The waterfall down the mountain is only a trickle, and the water level of the pool has dropped significantly, exposing large areas of pebbles and sun-dried silt.

The three of Ronan stood on a higher rock.

Mad Bull Bill observed for a while, and said: "Now is the dry season, block the stream on the mountain, mobilize multiple high-powered water pumps, and the place will be drained soon."

Thomas talked about the reality: "We were also exposed."

But Ronan opened his throat and shouted towards the pool: "Dude, did you hear that? Hurry up and talk, if you don't come out, we will drain all the water in your house."

Bill and Thomas looked at each other, why is the boss so unreliable?
Ronan said: "I just want to talk to it and borrow something from it."
