People are scared in America, my uncle is Dante

Chapter 153 Exclusive News, Here I Come!

It was late at night.

Suren lay in bed, her consciousness drifting into Silent Hill.

"Boom! Boom!"

As soon as they entered, explosions came from the distant streets, and the flames turned half the sky red.

"She seems to be having a lot of fun—"

Suren shook his head helplessly.

Since unlocking Madison's memories, this woman seems to have found an outlet.

Every day, I'm either using fire control to burn and kill those monsters, or I'm being chased by them all over the streets.

Suren ignored her and, with a swift movement, arrived in front of the church.

His main reason for coming in this time was to see what had become of the three "death rays" that he and Alessa had forcibly absorbed into Silent Hill.

That's something from outside the universe.

Aresa appeared beside him.

"How's the death ray doing?"

Suren asked.

Alessa didn't speak, and the scene before them instantly changed, placing them directly inside the church.

The eerie plant was still only half a meter tall, its gray trunk bare, looking no different from when it was last left.

At that moment, a wisp of dark energy descended from the sky, and Suren subconsciously looked up.

Above the plant, three faintly glowing spheres hung in mid-air, rotating like stars.

The death ray continuously draws some kind of energy from the void, then falls down and enters the plants below.

"This is----"

"Surren asked."

"The consciousness within the death ray has been eradicated by my dark power."

Aresa looked up at the three orbs of light and explained to Suren.

"Now, I have control of it."

She paused, then turned to look at Suren: "Are you taking it with you?"

Suren stared at the death ray in mid-air and asked, "What use is this thing now?"

"Currently, it can autonomously absorb external emotions and convert them into energy to nourish the plant."

Alessa explained, "However, because the host's deliberate intimidation and exploitation are no longer present, the efficiency of this autonomous absorption will be relatively low."

Suren nodded slightly.

This mass of dead light has, in effect, replaced the plant's "photosynthesis."

Although the conversion rate is a bit slow, it is long-lasting and stable.

Most importantly, he will no longer have to worry about finding nutrients to feed the plant.

"Then you can keep it here, you don't need to give it to me."

Suren refused.

Let Alessa study the death ray; she can just copy the answers herself later.

Emotions are something that will never be lacking in this world.

As long as you don't go to remote mountains and forests every day and stay in a densely populated big city, this plant will eventually grow big.

He wanted to see what this thing, which had absorbed so many emotions, would eventually become.

"You can put some pressure on Madison now."

After a moment's thought, Suren said.

Before this, he had forbidden Alessa from interfering with Madison, fearing that Alessa might not know her own strength and drive Madison insane.

However, Madison should now have mastered the three miracles, so protecting himself shouldn't be a problem when facing Alessa, right?

When I first came in, her happy laughter showed that she had already adapted to the current intensity, so it was time to increase the intensity a bit.

Upon hearing this, a slight smile finally appeared on Aresa's expressionless face.

Watching that woman wreak havoc in her world every day, and with Suren forbidding her from intervening, Aresa had been harboring a lot of resentment for a long time.

Now that she had Suren's permission, she could finally rightfully teach the other party a lesson.

The next morning.

Suren and Luca left Delhi early on, heading to a mental hospital deep in the mountains.

Throughout the journey, Luca, as if he hadn't spoken in a century, kept rambling on to Suren about the thrilling experiences he had during his last infiltration of the mental hospital.

"You have no idea, that pervert with the giant scissors was less than a meter away from me!"

Luca drove with one hand while frantically gesturing with the other, "If I hadn't brought a grappling hook and jumped into the ventilation duct to escape, you would never have seen me again!"

Suren lay in the passenger seat, listening quietly with her eyes closed.

These experiences of Luca were not considered dangerous for him.

But Suren did not let his guard down. He knew very well that this trip to the mental hospital would not be as easy as Luca had said.

Based on the footage Luca took, it appears that he infiltrated some abandoned facilities on the surface of the mental hospital last time.

The scissor-wielding man and the fat man wandering in the corridor are very likely just defective products from an experiment, placed there specifically to clean up stray tourists and guard the gate.

Since this place is guarded by monsters, it means that there are likely hidden facilities underground, and that is the most dangerous place.

After driving for several hours, Luka suddenly turned the steering wheel and veered onto a rough, winding mountain road.

He drove along the dirt road, which could barely be called a road, for a while, and then stopped in front of a dense forest.

Suren looked around.

The surrounding area is lush with trees, and birdsong can be heard from time to time among the leaves. The cool air is exceptionally fresh.

If you bring a tent and a barbecue grill, this place is an absolutely perfect camping spot.

Suren simply couldn't connect it with the bloody and perverse mental hospital depicted in the videotape.

"If you drive any further, the car won't be able to go any further."

Luca pulled a backpack from the trunk, hung his prized camera around his neck, and explained, "There are people watching the main road ahead."

He pointed to the woods and said, "So we'll have to walk through this woods and find our way in. But don't worry, I already figured out the terrain when I came here last time."

Suren nodded and followed him into the deep mountains.

Meanwhile, in the forest on the other side of the route that Suren and Luca had taken to infiltrate.

Another freelance journalist named Miles Apshe also quietly arrived in this place surrounded by mountains.

A few days ago, Apshe received an anonymous email.

The email included several blurry photos and a vague text message, claiming that inhumane and illegal experiments were being conducted there, and that it even involved the transfer of benefits between the authorities and a mysterious force.

In order to get this exclusive news that would shock the entire United States, he drove over without hesitation.

However, before his car could reach the mental hospital, it was stopped by a group of heavily armed men who forcibly ordered him to turn around and leave.

This unusual behavior did not frighten Apshe; on the contrary, it made him even more convinced that this place definitely held a shocking secret.

At this moment, Apshe, who had returned, was hiding in a grove of trees, secretly observing the mental hospital not far away.

To his surprise, although checkpoints were set up on the outer roads, security around the mental hospital was completely disorganized.

The patrolmen in uniform gathered in twos and threes, smoking and chatting, seemingly certain that no one would come to this remote mountain forest.

"These idiots."

Apshe sneered and, taking advantage of the others' inattention, skillfully climbed over a gap in the collapsed wall.

"Exclusive news, here I come!"
