American Horror Story

Chapter 83: The Priest and the Chaos
The first day Penny left.

miss her.

Experiencing the feeling of having an erection in the early morning with nowhere to vent, Luke began to miss the two days and two nights of being drained.

He got up slowly, strung the snake bones in his hand into a bracelet and kept turning it like a string of beads. His mental strength was constantly flushing through the inside of the snake bones, changing its spirituality.

As soon as he walked out of the bedroom door, the phone on the table suddenly began to ring. Luke walked over and saw that it was Calvin's call.

"Hey, Bu Rou!" The familiar voice of my good brother came from the other end of the phone: "There is an opening ceremony of a yacht show in the city center today, let's go shopping together."

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is the city's biggest event of the year. At this time, manufacturers from all over the country and even the world will bring their best yachts to Fort Lauderdale for the exhibition. Last year, a series of high-performance power boats including the Cigarette Racing Team, Fountain Power Boats, MTI, Performance Power Boats and others made their grand appearance.

This event has a huge influence. It is open to everyone and more than 10 pre-sale tickets are sold every year before it starts. In terms of boosting the economy, it is more than twice that of the Super Bowl.

Luke and Calvin are also yacht enthusiasts. They attend this grand exhibition every year. When they see a yacht they like, they ask their father for money to buy it.

After hearing what Calvin said, Luke also started to get excited. He put the snake bone bracelet on his hand and responded, "Okay, I'll be right there. See you at the shopping mall."

Half an hour later, Luke, with his bracelets tucked in, met Calvin outside the parking lot.

"Wow," Calvin asked in surprise, "You carry this knife with you wherever you go!"

Luke held the hilt of the knife and swung it twice with the scabbard attached: "This is a life-saving device. Even if I have to have fun with the cheerleader, I will keep it with me."

After saying this, he leaned sideways, concealing a corner of the pistol on his waist.

Calvin smiled knowingly, and also turned sideways, with a flash of steel on his waist.

As expected of a good brother!

The two of them walked to the square together, wanting to see what new things the mayor's office had come up with this year.

They arrived relatively late, and the scene was already crowded with people, red flags waving, and gongs and drums beating, but unfortunately there were no firecrackers.

Because it will scare away the crowd.

On the huge stage in the center of the square, a singer who has been quite popular recently was performing passionately. When Luke and his friends arrived, this new diva was just reaching her climax. She simply and generously tore off her shirt and threw it into the audience, leaving only a small piece of cloth covering the two towering peaks.

Rich and generous.jpg.

The enthusiasm of the audience was instantly aroused, and the colorful lights flashed, illuminating the entire venue, creating a dazzling and intoxicating atmosphere. The mixed smell of perfume and sweat filled the air, adding a touch of fanaticism.

After the song, although the subsequent band was not as famous as the little queen, the explosive live performance of the rock band still made the audience more excited.

Luke and Calvin were also immersed in the rhythm, waving their arms, swaying and jumping with the crowd.

The entrance and exit of the underground parking lot at the opening ceremony site had been blocked by people in security uniforms, making it possible to enter but not exit.

And deeper into the parking lot, deeper still.

A deep tunnel leads to directly below the concert stage.

A fairly spacious underground space was dug out by the cultists at some point in time. In the center of the space were complex and strange patterns and lines, which were the magic circles used for sacrificial summons.

Under the command of the red-robed priest, the cultists were busy escorting the homeless people who were temporarily captured from various places today and the unlucky ones who took the initiative to enter the underground parking lot to the sacrificial array one by one, cutting several wounds on their bodies and letting the blood flow out.

Robin did not join them. Having been promoted to the third level, he no longer needed to do these physical labors like ordinary believers. Moreover, his belief in the evil god was not deep, and the evil priests did not trust him particularly.

The human blood gradually gathered into a small lake, gradually dyeing the entire magic circle red, and also submerging a large number of worm eggs in the magic circle.

On the edge of Fort Lauderdale, Police Chief Lovo Sanchez directed the porters to pile bundles of marijuana raw materials together, then poured gasoline on them. Under the worried gazes of his men, he took out a kerosene lighter, lit it, and threw it casually onto the pile of leaves.

"boom"

The flames exploded, and with the help of gasoline, the scorching temperature ignited all the leaves. The thick smoke with an addictive smell spread towards the city under the help of the strong wind.

Under Lobo Sanchez's arrangement, all the police officers in the police station came to watch this "feat of great achievement". They talked about it in a low voice, but no one could stop the stubborn chief.

After all, just this morning, an old police officer was fired on the spot for making a few controversial remarks.

Chief Sanchez today was so unfamiliar that it was a little scary.

In the Coral Church, Moore's cell phone vibrated. He picked it up and took a look. His expression changed immediately and he stood up abruptly.

"Sir Conis, we have found the location of the cultists!"

"They are at the opening ceremony of the yacht show in the city center and are planning a sacrifice ceremony. Let's get going!"

Until now, the identity of the traitor among the armed priests has not been found out, so only Moore and his four companions went on this trip. Since they were small in number and agile in movement, their car ran very fast.

The Coral Neck Church is not far from the Fort Lauderdale Shopping Center, and they arrived at the scene soon.

However, looking at so many people here, the four of them felt worried.

On the way here, Moore made several calls to the chief of the local police station, trying to get him to arrange for police officers to evacuate the crowd. Unfortunately, the other party was busy with something and didn't answer the phone.

"Find someone first!" Conis frowned and looked for a long time, but did not find anything unusual at the celebration site.

He had a lot of experience in hunting down cultists. After a moment, he said decisively, "Not here, look underground. Those rats won't perform sacrifices in the sun. They don't dare!"

Before the others could take action, Conis seemed to smell something. He sniffed hard and felt something was unusual, but he couldn't find the source of the unusual feeling.

"Is there any smell in the air?" he asked. "I think something is wrong. Be careful."

Just then, the singer on the stage finished singing and the host came up.

After waiting for the noise to subside a bit, the host looked down at the cue card in his hand and shouted in an exaggerated tone: "We have just enjoyed three exciting songs. Now, everyone may need to calm down first, otherwise if someone suddenly gets too excited, it will not be beautiful."

"Next, there is a magic show specially arranged by the organizer. Let us warmly welcome the great magician from Colombia - the Red Priest, Vigor Stott."

In full view of the crowd, under the gazes of Luke, Moore, Conis and others, the cult priest in a red robe slowly walked onto the center stage.

"Hello everyone, next, I would like to take a little time to introduce our Heavenly Father and Savior - the butterfly emerging from the cocoon."

Wang Defa?
At this moment, these were the only three words in Luke's mind.

Is this a cultist?
So arrogant?

Didn’t Moore promise him that the cultists in Fort Lauderdale would be hiding in the gutter like rats, not daring to show their heads?
Oh, the rats in Fort Lauderdale have been even more aggressive than this before.

That's fine.

On the other hand, even someone like Conis who had seen many storms could not help but rub his eyes.

I've seen brainless cultists before, but this is the first time I've seen one so brainless.

Just after he said he didn't dare to come into the sun, he not only went into the sun, but also went onto the stage.

However, with so many spectators on the field, he was a little hesitant and didn't dare to fight with the other party right now.

Although he was confident in his own strength and knew that if he blew up the opponent's eggs, it would not affect his gun, the enemy would not care about the lives of ordinary people.

"What should we do, teacher?" asked [Light Chaser] Sam Rudolph.

Conis did not answer Sam's question, but turned to look at Moore: "Is there any way to evacuate the crowd?"

Moore shook his head. "It's difficult. We don't have enough manpower. We can't do it in a short time."

The cult priest has come on stage and the sacrifice ceremony may begin at any time.

Conis's eyes narrowed and he made up his mind: "Just go for it!"

"Then," Sam asked hesitantly, "the people."

"This is a necessary sacrifice!"

"Ok."

Sam and Hope, the two Light Chasers, began to emit a faint glow from their bodies, preparing to rush through the crowd to arrest or eliminate the cultist.

After taking two steps, the ground suddenly shook and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

A moment later, a huge hole appeared where the stage originally was, and the entire stage had completely fallen into the ground.

"Jie Jie"

"How about this magic trick?"

"Next, let's meet the great butterfly emerging from its cocoon!"

The underground sacrificial array has been completed. A large number of eggs have hatched into maggots. These maggots swim freely in the blood and quickly complete the whole process of pupation and then breaking out of the cocoon, turning into butterflies with human faces on their backs.

Of course, there are also some with cat faces, dog faces, and even disgusting mouse faces.

However, none of these affect the butterfly's flapping wings and taking off.

As the butterfly's wings flap, a large amount of scales fall into the air, emitting brilliant colors under the sunlight.

The cultists sang songs of worship together, just like what Lei Mulin had heard at the beginning -

He emerged from the sea, He rose from the ground.
down from the sky，they are all around (He came down from the sky，He is everywhere)
An invisible sense of fear began to spread in the hearts of everyone on the field.

At this time, Luke was standing not far from the cave entrance. He couldn't care about the people who were screaming in pain as they fell to the bottom of the cave as the ground collapsed.

The most urgent task is to eradicate the cultists!

[Spiritual Fang]!
Luke knew that these senior cultists often had something wrong with their flesh and blood, and were very immune to ordinary bullets. And he only brought a pistol, which was not very effective.

But after so many times of strengthening, [Spirit Fang] can now serve as Luke's main fighting force.

He reminded Calvin to evacuate, as this was not the battlefield for him to stay. He then drew out [Thunder Flash] for self-defense and controlled [Spirit Fang] with his mind to fly down.

The silvery-white, translucent teeth left a bright streak of light in the air, flying towards the cultists scattered throughout the underground.

Fly and shoot!

As [Spirit Fang] approached the cultist's body, a thin layer of blood-colored light film appeared, trying to stop [Spirit Fang].

However, when it touched the layer of light film, the effects of [Demon Breaking] and [Penetrating] began to take effect at the same time. [Spirit Fang] suddenly emitted a silver light, which was blocked for less than half a second before it penetrated the blood-colored energy film like a hot knife through butter, pierced into the brain of a cultist from the temple, and came out from the other temple.

The cultists who were immersed in the ritual did not resist at all. Their brains were mashed into powder and they fell to the ground, becoming the sacrificial victims of the ritual.

"Kill a Level 0 spiritual creature"

"Obtain 30 points of spiritual essence"

The death of a cultist did not attract the attention of other cultists, who continued to chant enthusiastically.
they will return, mankind will learn (His return will leave corpses everywhere)
new kinds of fear, when they are here

Facing an enemy who was numb and didn't know how to resist, Luke showed no mercy. He recalled the [Spirit Fang] and aimed at another cultist who sang the loudest.

Damn, this person feels like the classmate with a very loud voice during morning reading in the previous life. Not only is he polluted by the evil god of singing, but he also causes huge noise pollution.

[Spirit Fang] flashed, an arc of light passed, and the loud-mouthed cultist fell to the ground.

Call ~
The world is quiet——

No wonder!
There were still a dozen or so remaining cultists who were chanting non-stop sacrificial songs in worship of the evil god.

After [Spirit Fang] was retracted, it shot out again. This time, two figures emitting holy light were moving forward along with the Spirit Fang.

boom!
When [Spirit Fang] stabbed another cultist to death, two [Light Chasers] also jumped into the sinkhole.

Fuck! The monster snatcher is coming!

Luke quickly retracted the Lingfang and prepared to grab two more heads. Before the Lingfang flew back, two more people stood beside him.

When I turned around, it turned out to be Moore, and the old priest who had gone with him to catch the cultists last time.

"Luke, why are you here?" Father Moore's green eyes were full of worry.

Isn't it natural that I'm here?
Luke responded, "I came here to attend the yacht exhibition ceremony, but I didn't expect to encounter this incident."

After saying that, he looked back anxiously and saw that the two priests had already rushed into the group of cultists, ready to start.

That’s all my experience!
After this glance, the situation in the underground sacrificial site changed again.

After [Light Chaser] entered, the red-robed cult priest finally felt threatened. He temporarily stepped back from the sacrificial ceremony and turned to face the two men.

"You are a lackey of a false god. Don't even think about destroying the god's festival."

His red robe was stretched open by the bloody butterfly wings behind him, revealing an inhuman appearance.

Two rows of green flesh on the chest kept wriggling, looking like the abdominal feet of a maggot. The two legs in the lower body suddenly merged together, completely turning into the fat abdomen of a butterfly.

Even the head completely lost its human form and became a butterfly shape. The eyes became compound eyes composed of countless tiny hexagonal crystals, the nose completely disappeared, and only a butterfly-like mouthpart remained in the mouth, with a silk-like straw rolled into a circle that expanded and contracted with breathing.

The flesh wings behind him trembled slightly, and he flew into the air, looking down at the two [Light Chasers] below him.

"See for yourself the power of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon!"
