Killing the US fear starts from the fatal bend

Chapter 161

Salem Cemetery, night.

Gravekeeper Ma Sen hid in the shadows, holding an M1911 in his hand, secretly observing the movements of the two grave robbers.

Not far away, two scruffy-dressed thieves lifted a coffin board, exposing the body of the deceased inside.

One of them shined a flashlight on the corpse.

The corpse was wearing a pure white dress, with a pocket watch wrapped around his hand, holding a handful of dried flowers, and a necklace of silver and black gemstones on his chest, looking as if he was sleeping in a coffin.

The only thing was that her eye sockets were deeply sunken, and the eyeballs had disappeared, as if two dark holes had been opened on her face.The same is true for the nose, which seems to have been cut off by something, leaving only a dark red hollow.

"She is so beautiful."

"Indeed, she must have been a lady of the family during her lifetime."

As the two tomb robbers spoke, they tore off her pocket watch, necklace, ring, earrings and other items, put them into a loot bag, and prepared to find the next target.

Mason stepped out of the shadows and pointed a gun at the two men.The two tomb robbers immediately raised their hands to indicate that they were not in danger.

Mason stretched out his hand and said, "You two, please throw the bag over here."

The tomb robber looked at each other, and helplessly threw the bag in his hand at Mason.

Mason took the bag with one hand, and the gun in the other hand was still aimed at the two of them steadily: "My name is Mason, and I manage this cemetery that was brutally stolen by you. Aren't you going to defend yourself?"

The two immediately begged for mercy, "Please forgive us", "We are too stupid"

Mason stared at the two and taught the two ignorant bastards, "Please allow me to enlighten your minds."

"Did you know that the foundations of human society are based on the act of people placing the dead in honor? The moment we first dig a grave, we cease to be apes, and that is the mark of the birth of human civilization. When the dead lose their respect, human civilization will also disintegrate.”

The two grave robbers felt that what Mason said was nonsense, but he was holding a gun, so he was justified, and they nodded repeatedly to show that we agreed very much and were deeply aware of our mistakes.

"Now, get out now." Mason put down the gun in his hand.

"Aren't you going to hand us over to the police?" one of the grave robbers asked.

Mason didn't speak, raised the gun above his head, and fired into the sky as a warning.

With a "bang", flames emerged from the muzzle of the gun.

The two tomb robbers were frightened and fled away.

Mason watched them go, turned around, looked at the dug-up grave, bent his legs, and jumped down into the grave.

He picked up the flashlight, put it under his arm, and said to the corpse lying in the coffin, "Let me take a good look at you."

After speaking, he opened the corpse's mouth with both hands, looked to both sides, looked around the mouth, and found something.

"great."

He was overjoyed, took out a pair of small pliers from his pocket, stuck it into the mouth of the corpse, took out a gold tooth deep inside, put it in front of his eyes and admired it and said, "It is indeed the foundation of human society."

The pliers were clamped on the cone at the bottom of the gold tooth, and the force was not steady. The gold tooth fell down by accident and rolled directly into a deep hole in the coffin.

Mason took a flashlight to look at it, but found nothing unusual, so he leaned down, stuck to the corpse, and reached in to feel for it.

In the middle, no.

To the left, no.

on the right, huh?something, furry.

"hiss!!!"

Mason withdrew his hand in pain.

Damn, it's a big rat!It bit his wrist directly and was brought out of the cave by him.

Mason picked up the pistol and fired it with a "bang". The rat covered in dirty blood and mud looked back at him and went back underground along the cave.

He hurriedly bandaged his wound, buried the grave hastily, took advantage of the night, picked up the harvest just now, and came to the outskirts of the Mialco District, a casino stronghold of the Black Eagle Gang.

He owed a lot of gambling debts here, and he had to repay the interest on a regular basis by robbing graves every month.

As for why not repay the principal.
He hasn't paid enough interest for three months, let alone the principal.

Although the sum of those interests has already exceeded the principal by several times, but... who let the gangsters have more guns.

If you get stuck, you will never be able to escape unless you are squeezed dry.

Half an hour later, Mason walked out of the gang gathering place with a helpless face.

He repeatedly emphasized to Abdul Teher, the little leader of the gang, that it was not that he secretly hid all the wealth of the dead, but that the rats in the cemetery were too cunning and had been competing with him for fresh corpses. Just not enough interest.

But Abdul looked at him with an expression of "You fucking think I'm stupid?" and gave him an ultimatum—pay the debt within a week, or let him go. To the coffin buried in the soil.

In desperation, he thought of the morgue.

Because of the dead bodies buried in the cemetery, he couldn't exhume them immediately, but the rats could.Therefore, he always took a slow step when scrambling for corpses. If he wanted to be faster than the mice, he had to go to the morgue to deal with the unburied corpses.

Relying on some "little things", the mortician had been successfully "persuaded" by him long ago, cooperated with him to complete such behaviors countless times, and was even caught by the mortician.

The name of that "little thing" is "The Devil's Panacea", and it was a booty captured by the predecessors of the Mason family when they hunted down cult members. It has the ability to temporarily restore youth.

The mortician refused at first. Last time, he was severely punished by the mortician for cooperating with Mason in stealing the corpse's property, but when Mason took out the "universal elixir", he still chose to compromise. .

For a man of his age, the taste of youth, even if it was brief, was worth the risk of helping Mason one more time.

Unfortunately, the corpses in the morgue this time were all poor people, and none of them had gold teeth. Mason was annoyed and was about to return in vain, when he suddenly found that the curtains were drawn in the compartment of the morgue, and he rushed past the mortician. Regardless of his persuasion, he took out the small pliers to pull out the gold teeth in his mouth.

The two were chatting, when suddenly the door opened and footsteps were heard, Mason and the embalmer hurriedly hid behind the cabinet beside him.

Maria's classmate, the yellow-haired school bully Mark, and his mother walked in accompanied by the mortician. The rich man in the compartment was Mark's father.

"He looked as if he was alive, as if he was lying here taking a nap." Mark's mother looked at the corpse with nostalgia, and said sadly: "Do what you should do, but please keep his appearance. When looking at the remains , I want him to wear the best attire, and I will pin the medal on his chest when the time comes, and he will be holding his favorite antique famous knife in his hand."

Mark nodded sadly.

Hearing the word "antique", the eyes of Ma Sen who was hiding in the dark lit up. The opportunity to pay off the debt finally came. As long as he stole the corpse and took away the property before the rats, he would be free. No need to worry all day long.

Mark and his mother looked at the remains for a while before the mortician sent them away.When he came back, Mason had already left, and the thin embalmer was busy beside the corpse.

The mortician called his subordinates over and said casually: "The Phoenix City Police Department issued a notice asking if there were any dead bodies attacked by rats recently. You have been in the morgue for the longest time. Have you ever found something like this?"

The mortician thought about it. Among the abnormally dead corpses he handled recently, it seemed that there was only one whose head was beheaded, and the other was a psychopath who had gouged out his eyes and painted himself a clown makeup with blood. been.

"No, at least not in the past six months." He replied firmly.

"It's fine if you don't have one. You call the Mialco District Police Station and tell them about it." The mortuary officer looked around the morgue, found nothing to do, and turned to leave.

Naturally, it was Luke who asked the police to investigate the rat wounding case. Although the investigators at the University of Michigan usually only bring a "friend" to investigate the case because they don't want to alarm the authorities.

But Luke currently doesn't have any "friends" that can be used as consumables, and he has the right to why not use them, let the police not participate in the investigation, and let them provide clues.

For example, ask in the whole city where there are a large number of rats hurting people, even killing people, and where there are unresolved rat problems. ?

Luke's first stop was the Tevina District Police Station. After seeing Amisha, he took out his blue Phoenix Police Headquarters Senior Inspector ID and showed it off in front of her.

Then immediately Luke regretted it.

As soon as he took back his small notebook, he heard a voice like a woman from a boudoir: "Some people, after joining the special forces and becoming inspectors of the General Bureau, they don't look down on our little district police station. When I was young, I wanted to live with us every day, but now I have to take a business trip to see old friends. Hey, it’s really a new generation replacing the old.”

What you said is like that Mrs. Niu.

"I used to call her Xiao Tiantian when I watched the moon with me, but now the newcomer is better than the old one, and I call her Mrs. Niu."

This tone can't be said to be almost the same, it can only be said to be exactly the same.

Luke was a little embarrassed. He really hadn't come to Amisha for some time. He looked at the resentful eyes of the other party. The last time we met alone was to hunt for treasure as a warehouse hunter. He also got a good treasure. Let's go treasure hunting together again, and then, there will be no more.

Ah, speaking of which, there is still an item that can be used to gain experience once a month that has never been used.

During this period of time, Luke experienced too many things. Luke was fighting and playing games, so he didn't care about the experience.

My mind was going back and forth, and on the surface I looked apologetic: "I've been really busy these days, you know me, our university has just started, and there are many club activities, if you don't participate, you won't fit in. This No, I'll come and see you as soon as I have some time."

Although it is unreliable to listen to nonsense, but the attitude is still very sincere.

Women, what you want is not your explanation, your reasons, as long as the attitude is in place and the reasons are not too outrageous, then that's fine.

Amisha nodded with satisfaction: "Is there anything else for a while? Let's have dinner together tonight."

Luke hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, pretending to be greasy: "It is my honor to have dinner with the most beautiful woman in the Tvina police station."

Amisha put her index finger on his head and said angrily, "All right, all right, stop being so glib, talk about something."

It's okay to be angry, and if you vent your grievances on these small things now, you won't pursue other issues.

Luke succeeded in his strategy and began to ask Amisha if she had any clues about the rat infestation.

Amisha thought for a while, and said a little uncertainly: "There should be no such cases in recent years, at least not in the Tvina area. You know, this area is basically a wealthy area, and the environment is relatively clean and hygienic. There will be no Regarding the large number of rat breeding, I think you should go to the Mialco district to ask, if there is a situation, it should happen there."

After finishing speaking, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and said: "About a few decades ago, there was a sect that believed in evil gods in the local area, and it was wiped out by the police because of the hunting of living sacrifices. I remember reading the relevant files , wait a moment, I'll look for it."

She hurried out, and after a long time, she came back with a large number of paper files and handed them to Luke.

Luke roughly flipped through it, and saw those old black and white photos. In the deep cellar, there was a humanoid statue with an octopus face and wings, sitting on the altar. Just looking at the photos made people feel a strong feeling Discomfort.

He quickly asked Amisha: "Have you seen these photos?"

Amisha said indifferently: "Of course I have seen it. You mean the idol statue. It was really scary. At that time, I had nightmares for several days after watching it, but after I went to church to pray once, my spirit recovered. Said Come on, Father Sean of Warner Road Church is really capable, but unfortunately, he was recalled back to the Pope's country not long after, and we never saw him again."

Ah, according to Amisha, the Catholic Church still has some restraint on Cthulhu?

However, considering that it is probably the number one religion in the world, it is normal to fight well, but I don’t know why the country is closed to the outside world. Otherwise, the law and order in various places may be more stable.

After reading the dossier, Luke also roughly grasped the basic situation of the cult that Amisha said. He believes in Cthulhu, likes to raise mice in captivity, and hunts living people to feed them, which is exactly the same as the clues provided by the old professor.

Therefore, it is probably because this cult still slipped through the cracks during the siege back then, and then took advantage of the fact that it has not been noticed for decades, and then grew up secretly.

But this is also normal. The lighthouse country is already rich in cults, not to mention there are real evil gods, even if it is the Flying Spaghetti God, no, the Flying Spaghetti God has obtained permission to become an official religion in Denmark and New Zealand. But not yet in Lighthouse Country.

In this way, perhaps the Lighthouse Kingdom is not the worst in terms of religion, although it is chaotic.

In short, this broken place is indeed a paradise for evil gods.

Even for Luke, it's the same.

After all, his "Flame and Crow God Religion" has already begun to infiltrate Phoenix City.

It's getting late at this time, Luke plans to go to the Mialco district tomorrow, and today he will appease Amisha's injured little heart, lest she look at him with the eyes of a resentful woman who is alone in her boudoir .

Under his sincere invitation, Amisha mercifully agreed to the request to have dinner together, and the two of them sat on Amisha's Mustang and went to a slightly higher-end French restaurant for a candlelight dinner.
