People are scared in America, my uncle is Dante

Chapter 152 Videotape

"You know me? I didn't realize my name had spread so far?"

When Luca heard Suren call out his name, he couldn't help but smile.

He straightened the scarf around his neck, puffed out his chest, and looked at me as if to say, "Please continue to praise me."

Suren looked at him, a thought flashing through her mind: "The Cheshire Cat?"

"Don't call me by that nickname!"

Luca reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling with fur.

He pointed at Suren and protested loudly, "I am a free journalist seeking the truth! Not that weird, stupid cat!"

'

Suren found his erratic behavior somewhat amusing.

Luca is an ordinary reporter, without any magic or witchcraft.

But he always manages to get involved in various events thanks to the grappling hook in his hand and an incredible stroke of luck.

As for the nickname "Cheshire Cat," it was a name Bayonetta gave him.

Luca witnessed his father's murder when he was a child.

At the time, only Bayonetta was present, and he naturally regarded her as his father's killer.

As an ordinary person, Luca couldn't beat her.

So he chose another way to take revenge—

They relentlessly pursued her, trying to document her crimes with their cameras.

In the witch's eyes, this reporter, who always appeared and disappeared mysteriously, posed no threat at all; rather, he was more like a little kitten that could cheer her up when she was bored.

"What do you mean? So you're the contact Bayonetta sent to find me?"

"Surren asked."

Luca took a deep breath, trying his best to look cool and professional.

"Cough cough————"

He cleared his throat and said, "First of all, let me correct you on one point. I'm not working for that violent maniac. We've simply reached an equal cooperation agreement on certain intelligence matters."

Lukat emphasized the word "equality".

Secondly—

He glanced at the room behind Suren. "If there aren't any women inside, can we go in and talk? The hallway isn't a good place to talk."

Suren glanced at him: "A lollipop."

Luca paused for a moment, but his hands moved faster than his brain, and he instinctively pulled a strawberry-flavored lollipop from his trench coat pocket and handed it over.

He only realized what he was doing halfway through handing it over, and looking at the candy in his hand, his expression was as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

"Damn it—why did I have to carry around this stuff that only witches eat?"

He muttered something under his breath, awkwardly stuffed the candy into Suren's hand, and quickly squeezed into the room.

"

Suren looked at the lollipop in her hand and shook her head speechlessly.

It looks like it's already in Bayonetta's shape.

Upon entering the room, Luca unceremoniously sat down in a chair, crossed his legs, and scanned Suren from side to side.

"I didn't realize you were so capable."

Luca, feigning maturity, praised, "That woman said there was a troublesome big guy in Maine, but I didn't expect you to be able to handle it all by yourself without my help."

"well----"

As he spoke, he sighed dramatically and patted the camera on his chest.

"It's a pity I arrived a step too late, otherwise I could have taken pictures of that monster and sold them for a good price. These are all exclusive headline material."

Suren unwrapped the lollipop, popped it into her mouth, and asked.

"Been Bennetta said you'd contact me once I got here, so why did it take you so long to come?"

When Luca heard the question, he waved his hand dismissively: "I was wandering around this area the other day and discovered a very interesting place—"

He was speaking when he suddenly seemed to remember something important and looked at Suren: "By the way, after you killed the clown, has anyone been watching you?"

Suren shook her head, her tone calm: "The clown hasn't been dead long, so the other side shouldn't be able to react this quickly."

"That's good."

Luca's tone was filled with excitement, "I followed an organization's supply line and made my way to a big mountain nearby."

"What surprised me was that there was actually a mental hospital hidden there."

Luca lowered his voice, his expression excited: "That group of people captures homeless people, corpses, and even some special individuals from various places and takes them there for human modification."

Suren's expression remained unchanged.

Mental hospital, human body modification————

This mental hospital must be an experimental site used to seal demons into human bodies.

Even at its worst, it's still a research base.

"and then?"

He asked.

Luca slapped his thigh and gestured wildly, exclaiming, "And then? Then, of course, I, with my valiant skills and extraordinary intelligence, successfully captured evidence right under the noses of those mutated test subjects and guards, and made a triumphant exit!"

He pulled out a tightly wrapped object from inside the lining and waved it in front of Suren.

"If I hadn't run fast, I would have been cut in two by someone holding a big pair of scissors."

Luca looked at Suren, his expression excited: "How about it? This place is obviously extraordinary. If we go and take it down, we'll definitely cause a huge commotion. We'll definitely have accomplished what that bespectacled woman wanted us to do."

Suren held out her hand: "Let's watch the videotape first."

He needed to find out what the situation was like inside the mental hospital first; the other party's words alone couldn't prove anything.

Luca pursed his lips and reluctantly handed him the videotape.

The hotel's TV screen flickered and showed a huge building standing deep in the mountains.

As the characters began to move, the camera started to shake, and the image quality became somewhat blurry.

This perspective gave Suren the feeling of playing a horror game.

In the video, Luca is holding a camera and walking along the wall with his back bent.

The mental hospital was very quiet, except occasionally the sound of metal objects being dragged on the ground could be heard from the depths.

The scene shifts from Luca's perspective to what appears to be an abandoned operating room.

The camera visibly shook the moment the door was pushed open.

On the central operating table, a completely dismembered corpse was fixed in place.

The human internal organs inside the corpse had been removed and replaced with several mechanical objects and some black chunks of flesh.

Even though the corpse looked like it had been abandoned there for a long time, the black chunks of flesh inside were still twitching slightly.

"This must be flesh from a demon's body?"

Suren watched this scene calmly, lost in thought.

The screen suddenly went black at this point.

Suren glanced at Luca instinctively, only to see the man scratch his head and say, "Someone's patrolling here, so I'm hiding."

.

Sure enough, after a short while, the screen lit up again, but it was no longer in that operating room.

The surrounding glass dishes contained various human limbs and demon corpses, and even some specimens that had been forcibly pieced together.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the camera suddenly turned around.

A fat man, as large as a mountain of flesh, smashed open the iron gate, brandishing an iron bar, and charged towards Luca.

"FUCK!"

Luca's screams came from the videotape, the camera shook wildly, and the scene turned into a blurry corridor and receding walls.

"Sizzle—"

'

Suddenly, in front of the camera, a tall, thin man, holding a pair of scissors larger than himself, blocked the way.

First came the scissors man, then the fat man.

The camera pans back and forth between the two, and Luca's breathing grows louder and louder.

Looking at this scene, if this guy hadn't been standing right in front of him, Suren wouldn't have believed that an ordinary person could have escaped unscathed.

Just then, the screen suddenly went black.

A moment later, when the camera lit up again, Luca had escaped from the mental hospital and was lying in a clump of grass, panting.

That kid is really lucky.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have been chopped into mincemeat after taking just a few steps in the mental hospital. But he not only strolled around inside, but also managed to escape unscathed when surrounded.

Suren ejected the videotape and threw it back to the other party.

"Alright, let's rest for today. We'll set off tomorrow to check out that mental hospital."
