American Horror Story

Chapter 18: The Exorcist Duo

"Marty!"

Seeing the male human-faced dog fall to the ground and stop moving, the female human-faced dog, who had just been cursing Luke loudly, cried out in pain and suddenly increased her speed regardless of the pain in her forelimbs.

Unfortunately, the flesh has its limits. Even if it crawls on in anger regardless of the pain, as a mere Level 1 extraordinary creature, it cannot reverse reality and defeat the bullet embedded in its body by will alone.

After emptying the magazine of the rifle in his hand, Luke stood up and threw the rifle to the ground, then pulled out the Beretta from his side while backing away.

The injured human-faced dog was half as slow as a normal dog. Luke slowly backed away, keeping a safe distance of about three meters, holding the gun with both hands and aiming carefully.

"boom"

Right between the eyebrows!

The female human-faced dog collapsed again.

Unfortunately, the power of this pistol is not as strong as that of 7.62, so the human-faced dog did not get the treatment of brain-opening, and the alloy bullet was firmly embedded in its forehead.

The breath of death seeped out from the hot bullets, and this beast that had stolen human wisdom finally remembered the fear of bipedal upright apes from deep in its genes. This fear overwhelmed the deep love between a pair of unfortunate lovers inherited from the head on its neck, and its brain was once again dominated by the beast's instincts.

"Run! Run! Run!"

The human-faced dog no longer cared about avenging his lover. He tucked his tail between his legs and turned his head to try to get away from Luke.

Luke slowly raised his gun, aimed, and shot. He aimed and shot again. It took him half a minute to fire 10 bullets. Until the human-faced dog lay on the ground motionless and a light golden light floated from the corpse, he lowered the muzzle of the Beretta.

"Kill a Level 1 spiritual creature"

"Obtain 65 points of spiritual essence"

solve!

Even in the situation that was under control just now, Luke was still on edge. As long as the enemies were not completely wiped out, various unexpected events might occur.

He opened the gun bag that had just fallen to the ground, picked up the rifle, replaced the magazine with one full of bullets, and then filled the pistol with bullets. Only then did he feel completely relieved.

"Idiot, this is a dead end." Luke said contemptuously to the corpse on the ground.

With this IQ, you dare to say I'm stupid?
No skills were gained from this kill, but the panel prompt showed a new thing, "Spiritual Essence".

I don’t know whether the supernatural world is the same as the natural world, and whether the taste of the flesh and blood of dead supernatural creatures will attract other "carnivores", so this is not a good time to learn new things.

It’s better to sneak away first!

Luke walked toward the avenue outside the alley, while putting the SR-47 into his bag. He held the bag in his left hand, and put his right hand inside the bag to hold the gun tightly, ensuring that he could pull it out in the first place if something happened.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly became aware of several footsteps coming from the alley ahead.

Someone is coming! I don't know if it's an enemy, a friend, or just a passerby.

Luke stopped, held the SR-47 tightly and raised it, pointing the muzzle through the gun bag in the direction of the person coming. No matter who it is, it is better to be cautious.

The footsteps approached quickly without hesitation or pause. As the distance got closer, Luke could vaguely hear their conversation.

"I hope I'm not too late this time."

"I don't think it's going to work. Natalia's broken crystal ball has never been accurate." "I hope it can be more accurate this time, at least so we can catch up before the monster finishes eating and avenge the poor creature that was eaten."

The sound was getting closer and closer, and soon, two men in windbreakers, one fat and one thin, appeared in Luke's sight.

Based on what the two had just said, they seemed to be actively chasing the dark creatures. They didn't sound like bad people, but Luke still remained a little vigilant.

"who are you?"
-
Rudy followed Milton and walked quickly into the darkness. The information prompted by the crystal ball often had a high delay, and many of them were given after the event, but occasionally they were reliable.

This time the crystal ball showed that the monster's level was around level one or two. If the targeted human was smart enough, they might be able to hold out for a while and wait for rescue.

Although there is no sound coming from the alley now, it is probably cold. Maybe the monsters have finished eating, slept, and left.

But you still have to take a look at it.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the darkness ahead.

"who are you?"

Rudy and Milton stopped instantly, and each of them leaned on the sides of the alley wall to hide their bodies and reduce the area that could be shot.

Someone arrived early, is he a foreign demon hunter?
The other party took the initiative to speak while hiding, which was to express goodwill - otherwise, we could have just ambushed and shot them.

After a thousand thoughts in his mind, Rudy replied, "Demon Hunter Rudy, and Milton, who are you? Are the dark creatures still here?"

Demon Hunter?
Are they the people who fight against the dark creatures?

When Luke was introduced to the sect, he was still an ordinary person. Father Moore was very secretive about the other world, which resulted in him having no common sense about it now.

Now he has become a superhuman, but the speed of his advancement is a bit too fast. With Luke's current understanding of the supernatural world, he is not sure whether this speed can be explained by the word "genius" or whether it will be considered as being possessed by the devil, so he does not want to have any contact with Moore in the short term.

This line is broken, and just in time two more "demon hunters" come, they also look like veterans, and should be able to provide some information.

Luke skipped the other party's first question and replied, "There were two vicious dogs with human faces here before, and I killed them both."

Phew, we are in the same industry.

Rudy breathed a sigh of relief.

After a brief exchange, both sides let down most of their guard and came together.

In the dimly lit alley, Rudy couldn't see Luke's overly young face clearly. He said casually, "It should be a human-faced dog, a level one dark creature. It's not difficult to deal with. Are there any victims inside?"

"I am the only victim here," Luke put down the gun in his hand and said depressedly, "I am disgusted by them."

The combination of a human face and a dog's body is indeed a bit disappointing, especially the female human-faced dog. Luke always wondered if it would suddenly whisper "big brother".
“Hahaha,” Fatty Rudy laughed, “Most of these dark creatures do look very uncivilized.”

After saying this, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "But there are also good-looking ones. Let me tell you, I saw a flower fairy last year. That thing~that face~those long legs~that thin waist, and the key is that she didn't wear any clothes~hey!"

Milton, a thin man standing beside him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's get down to business. Don't lead the young people astray."

After a while of face-to-face communication, Milton had already seen Luke's appearance and guessed that he should be a novice exorcist.
