What?! My anime figures have all come true!

Chapter 183 The Chaos That Always Smiles and Steals the Way to You!

Looking for a cat?

Upon hearing the girl's words, Lawrence, still in a daze, found it absurd that a seemingly helpless little girl would come to such a hellish village just to find a cat.

But considering that the light cannon that blasted those monsters away was most likely fired by this girl, and her fearless attitude towards those monsters, she might actually be able to look for cats here without any fear.

Ding ding ding ding————

At this moment, a sound like striking an iron pot rang out from the center of the distant village. It sounded like a special war drum. As the sound rang out, footsteps also began to sound nearby.

Lawrence felt a chill run down his spine as he listened.

Are they going to have the whole village hunt them down?!

"Here we go again."

But compared to Lawrence's horror, the girl's reaction was much calmer, even somewhat annoyed.

"How am I supposed to find Nosh now?"

Clearly, the chaos in the village was also hindering her actions, but Lawrence always felt that this girl was just afraid of trouble, otherwise she would have already stormed in.

Snap snap snap snap ————

Soon, a series of gunshots rang out in the distance. The sound didn't seem to come from National Guard rifles; it was more like homemade weapons and hunting rifles used in rural federal villages.

"Hmm... let's leave here first, sir. Please follow me."

Considering Lawrence's safety, the girl took him away from there first. However, what puzzled Lawrence was that the two of them had only wandered around the village a few times and passed through a few doors before arriving at a small wooden house outside the village.

During the process, the gunshots in the distance grew fainter and fainter until they were no longer heard at all.

Looking out the window again, he realized that he had been running for who knows how long, panting, from outside the village to inside. The little girl led him a few steps, and they were out of there!

Is it a superpower?

Or is it magic?

"We're safe here for now. Sir, let me introduce myself. My name is Abigail, Abigail Williams."

The girl lit the kerosene lamp in the room, turned around and introduced herself to Lawrence.

Abigail?

This name is quite common.

Unfortunately, as a journalist, he focused more on superhero-related matters and didn't know much about things other than superpowers (mysticism and magic), so he didn't know the background of the Williams surname.

If Chris were here, she would probably know something, given her knowledge of the mystical and magical world.

(Failed the occult knowledge test)

"My name is Lawrence, Lawrence Barron. Thank you so much for your help, Miss Abigail."

Lawrence was naturally grateful for being saved, and his emotions were also calmed down by Abigail's presence. Besides being rescued, this angelic girl made him feel at ease.

Although he couldn't explain why this was the case.

"Hehe~ Helping those who are suffering in the world is also a teaching of the Lord (Father)."

Abigail felt somewhat happy to be thanked so sincerely.

"Um----"

Lawrence's feelings were somewhat complicated upon hearing this.

Judging from Abigail's appearance, she didn't seem like one of the churchgoers he knew; she seemed more like a rigid and conservative Puritan.

Thinking about how she spent a lot of money on a membership, only to find that the exorcism tools she got from the church were completely useless, and that she was saved by Abigail, a "puritan," she felt quite vulnerable now that she realized what had happened.

Just now, when she called out "Lord," Lawrence felt like he heard another voice, but it wasn't very clear. Maybe he was just having auditory hallucinations because he was so frightened that he was having a nervous breakdown.

(The inspiration didn't pass, but congratulations!)

"By the way, I came here to see Nosh, so what brings Mr. Lawrence here?"

Abigail asked curiously.

"My wife—Christine—has disappeared. The last time I heard her say she was coming to this strange village, which is under government lockdown, to conduct an investigation, but she has been out of contact for a week."

At the mention of this, Lawrence sighed and sat down on the chair next to him, which was covered in a layer of dust.

"I initially thought the federal government was conducting some kind of experiment on its own citizens again, but I didn't expect even the National Guard to be deployed. They wouldn't let reporters in no matter what—so I secretly took a helicopter, and then it was shot down by an RPG from who-knows-where."

"Looking at the state of the village now—and the way Orion and those superheroes were burned to death by the villagers, Chris... she might not be here anymore."

At this point, Lawrence finally broke down in tears. Unlike the tears he shed before, which were caused by fear and shock, this time his tears were truly from sadness.

Abigail was also saddened by his appearance, but she didn't know what to say. She could only pat him on the back to comfort the emotionally distraught young reporter.

After crying for about ten minutes, Lawrence apologized to Abigail, having vented his emotions: "I'm sorry, Miss Abigail, for making you see me in such a wretched state."

"Yes, yes, the pain of losing a loved one is nothing to be ashamed of, Mr. Lawrence."

Abigail shook her head.

"So what are your plans after this? If you're planning to leave, I can help you."

Leave here?

Upon hearing this, Lawrence instinctively felt it was impossible. Not to mention that the village was located in the middle of nowhere, and going out without a means of transportation would only lead to certain death. Don't forget that there were National Guard troops blocking the area.

They're not Chinese soldiers; if they see you suddenly appear in the lockdown area, they'll just tell you to stay put and cooperate.

The National Guard really will shoot you in the head!

Wait, if it's this girl's ability, maybe I really could leave this place.

Lawrence recalled Abigail's ability to lead him a few steps away from the village, realizing that her claim of sending him away was not an exaggeration.

Is it really a good idea to just run away like this?

Chris, Orion, and Bob, and all the dead superheroes—

With that thought in mind, Lawrence looked at the camera he carried with him and immediately made up his mind.

"No! I don't intend to leave, Miss Abigail, even if it means death—I will expose what happened here!"

Lawrence picked up the camera and said firmly.

He could somewhat understand why Chris often risked going to dangerous places to reveal the truth; there were some things that really shouldn't exist in this world!

"I see."

Abigail nodded in agreement.

The two then set out on an adventure to seek the truth and find the cat. With Abigail's abilities, they quickly returned to the village.

"Hungry—for meat—"

When they arrived, the two saw a huge, stitched creature that looked just like the Abomination from Warcraft!

"That, that's—!"

Lawrence couldn't help but swallow hard, and quickly raised his camera to record the event.

"Come on, hit me—kick me!"

At that moment, a funny female voice suddenly came from the sky, and then a silver figure appeared in sight with a flying kick, kicking the giant abomination!

It actually kicked that enormous abomination away!

Then the silver figure slowly landed, struck a strange pose, and made its entrance announcement.

"I am—the Chaos who always sneaks up to you with a smile! Nyarlathotep—deisi!"
