People are scared in America, my uncle is Dante

"You...you demon, how could you know the secrets of Heaven?!"

But Suren didn't want to waste any more words with him; he knew all too well that villains die from talking too much.

The ground beneath the angel's remains suddenly collapsed, and hellfire erupted.

Several rusty wires shot out from the flames and tightly bound the angel's body.

Sensing the terrifying dark power emanating from the wire, the angel's expression finally revealed a hint of undisguised horror.

He writhed and struggled desperately in the sewage, crying out, "Kill me! Demon! I command you, kill me now!"

Suren looked at the terrified expression on the other's face and said calmly, "Since you can't kill me, then enjoy yourself in my world."

This was a thought that had just popped into his head.

Silent Hill, which incorporates the essence of Yuthun, would be a waste to use it merely as a storage space for loot.

By trapping him in the Otherworld, they could prevent him from reporting back to Heaven, and also allow Alessa to continuously draw angelic essence from him to nourish and elevate Silent Hill.

As for why they didn't tie up that demon from before...

The current Silent Hill is still too fragile. Being able to assist in dealing with high-ranking demons and being able to imprison high-ranking demons alone are two completely different things.

Throwing this high-ranking demon directly in would be like throwing a hot iron ball into butter; it would most likely burn through the space of Silent Hill.

On the contrary, this kind of power bank, which is not very powerful but contains the essence of angels, is perfect for experimental testing.

"You can't do this! This is blasphemy! You demon!!"

The angel's agonizing screams echoed through the underworld; the defeat was even harder for him to accept than going to hell.

But Suren had severed the spiritual connection between reality and the other world, and told Alessa to treat him well.

After resolving all of this, Suren thoroughly searched the entire basement once again.

After confirming that there were no new discoveries, he returned to the ground through the passage.

Outside, Andrei and Clancy stood on the road, looking at the old house with expressions of horror.

The two men were deathly pale and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

Upon seeing Suren emerge from the house, they peered out at the old house behind him like startled birds.

They were terrified that the terrifying masked man from before would reappear, causing Peter's tragedy to repeat itself on Suren.

Clancy swallowed hard, her voice trembling, "Surren... um, Peter... how is he?"

Suren shook his head, his expression calm: "They're long dead."

Even if he wasn't completely dead, his body was first deeply corrupted by demonic power, and then baptized by angelic aura. Even if he survived, he would ultimately only become a walking corpse.

Moreover, before leaving, Suren made sure to deliver a few more blows to prevent any future troubles.

Upon hearing this result, Andrei covered his face in anguish and slowly squatted down on the ground.

Regret and fear intertwined in his heart.

If he hadn't insisted on bringing his team to explore this haunted house for the sake of the show's effect, Peter wouldn't have died, and they wouldn't have been involved in this terrifying event.

Seeing the two of them looking so distracted, Suren asked, "What's wrong? Are you still planning to stay here and continue exploring?"

"If you're planning to leave, how about giving me a ride back to Los Santos on your way?"

"..."

In the end, the group booked a few rooms at a hotel in the small town to rest for the night.

The main reason was that Suren simply couldn't stand the smell on her body anymore.

Although he used magic to block most of the sewage that splashed up during the battle in the sewers.

But the stench that had been fermenting in that enclosed space for decades was stirred up by the battle.

The feeling is like spending the night in a hot pot restaurant and having an indelible smell on your body that makes you feel nauseous.

After taking a nice, relaxing shower, Suren lay in bed and began to review the system information in his mind.

Killing a high-ranking demon rewarded 1500 points.

I used all my previous points to exchange for Alaska, and now I only have these 1500 points left.

Suren suppressed the urge to spend money and decided to accumulate some points first, and then consider it later if any problems arose.

In contrast, it was another system notification that truly ignited his passion.

Bloodline Awakening Increased by 1%

A flicker of excitement crossed his eyes; so this was how simple and direct the way to increase bloodline awakening was—

fighting.

The Spartans were a race born for battle.

The opponents he had encountered before were all too weak to make him feel any sense of crisis.

Maria was the only one who posed a challenge for him. At that time, he hadn't even activated his bloodline, so how could he have awakened?

Only by facing a demon that makes him feel threatened, like today, can he make his blood boil and raise the awakening level of his Spartan bloodline.

Looks like I'll have to go out more often in the future.

……

The next morning, after a good rest, the three left Haddenfield and embarked on their journey back to Los Santos.

The atmosphere inside the bread truck was unusually oppressive.

Andrei, who was in the driver's seat, looked much more tired, with bloodshot eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night.

Clancy in the passenger seat was a little better. After a night of mental adjustment, he seemed to be in a stable mood, though he would occasionally space out.

Suren leaned back in her chair, gazing at the scenery outside the window, her mind racing.

He recalled the demon that had crawled out of Miles's head yesterday, and the red light that had initially appeared on that demon.

Clearly, there is a group of people who possess some special sealing technique.

They can forcibly seal the core of a demon's essence, preventing the leakage of demonic scent and power.

Afterward, they placed these core elements into the human brain, using the human body as a vessel.

Most demons lack reason, so when they manipulate human bodies, they are influenced by the host's original thoughts and residual habits.

This ultimately created monsters like Miles, who were delirious and appeared to be psychopathic killers.

Moreover, as long as the demonic core deep within its brain is not destroyed, this monster can slowly reassemble and recover even if its body is crushed into pieces, relying on demonic power.

This cost can most likely be compensated simply by consuming fresh flesh and blood.

The so-called demon core is the product of highly concentrated power within a demon.

It's somewhat similar to the golden core of a cultivator or the beast core of a great demon in cultivation novels from my previous life.

"So, those notorious serial killers were actually vessels inhabited by demons?"

Suren looked somewhat disappointed upon reaching this conclusion.

This trip to Haddonfield, while allowing him to learn how these demons evaded the angels' detection,

But he still had no clue who was behind all of this.

Those lurking in the shadows were more cautious and sophisticated in their methods than he had anticipated.

He needs to get back to Los Santos as soon as possible to hand over the body samples to Constantine and Old Man Midnight for analysis, to see if the two of them can find any new clues.
