Starting with Blood Healing to become an Ancient God

Danny, who had already tracked down some of Dr. Laban's trail in the North District, immediately changed his expression upon hearing this news, and then said, "Vic, you lead your men to continue the investigation. I'll go back first."

“Understood, boss.” Vic the Golden Monkey took a book from Danny and continued his pursuit.

After leaving the North District by car, Danny initially intended to go to the Central District to report to Los, but then he remembered the importance of today's press conference.

He happened to be passing by Denison's ice cream shop, hesitated for a moment, and then called Kos directly.

"What's wrong?" Kos's voice was always so low, giving people a dark and damp feeling.

Danny then briefly explained the situation at the hospital: "Mr. Koss doesn't need to get involved here. You just need to keep an eye out for any other unusual activity in the city."

Koss paused for a second, then asked, "What are the characteristics?"

Danny: "I investigated Dr. Laban's disappearance today. His disappearance is related to an evil god called the King in Yellow. He seems to have been erased by the sandstorm."

"The hospital is now surrounded by sandstorms, so there must be a special relationship between the two. Since the other party attacked at the same time, it must be more than just these two places."

Koss said, "I'll keep an eye on it."

Thank you.

After finishing the call, Danny turned to Dennison, the ice cream shop owner, and asked, "Manager, have any suspicious people appeared here recently?"

Dennison, the owner of the ice cream shop, is an ordinary man. He is 45 years old, a slightly balding, plain-looking, and always friendly man with a smile on his face.

However, this man was an excellent hunter in his youth, so he has very keen eyesight and insight.

Before this, he had helped Sheena and others arrest Joseph and others from the Green Covenant and brought them to the police station.

Dennison thought for a moment and said, "Around 10 a.m. this morning, there were two guys who seemed to be loitering around here. They walked back and forth twice. Although there was nothing unusual about them, I still recognized them."

After listening, Danny asked, "What are the distinguishing features of those two people?"

Dennison said, "About an hour ago, I already told Mrs. Arkham and another very beautiful lady about the characteristics. Do you need to know more?"

Upon hearing this, Danny didn't ask any further questions. There was only one person who could be addressed as such, and that was Lilith, who was revered as the Demonic Mother.

Since Lilith has already taken Minnie to investigate this lead, there's no need for me to waste my time on it.

Just then, the door to the ice cream shop was pushed open, and Hardy, dressed in a smart suit, walked in: "Mr. Aubanion, a meeting is in session."

Danny nodded upon hearing this, instructed his men to wait there, and then followed Hardy through the gate, arriving directly at a very ancient and solemn church.

This church was originally the First Temple Church of Arkham, which was used by the bishops to confer titles on nobles about a hundred years ago.

Subsequently, with the decline of religion, the entire church has been abandoned for sixty years.

The church was recently reopened by Hadid.

As the largest and best-preserved cathedral in all of Arkham, Hardy, with the help of Los, transformed it into a hub connecting Arkham.

At the same time, the church was renamed Storm Church, and the person worshipped there was naturally Los himself.

Today, Storm Church is located in the southern part of the former Lowlands, and the church is now in the very center, making it a landmark building in the entire church district.

At this moment, Danny was standing on the second floor of the cathedral's inner sanctum. When he pushed open the door, he could see a huge, ancient round table inside.

There are a total of twenty-one seats around the round table.

The seats are arranged with ten seats on each side of the tall, central throne.

At this moment, Lilith and Kos were already sitting on either side of the tall throne.

As you walk inside, you'll find that each of these chairs has a unique pattern, and each chair has its own name.

There are already quite a few people sitting here.

Lilith, Minnie, Sheena, Kos, Charles, Barlow, Dr. Murthy, Kurvin, Father Hearst, Daryl, it seems that only he is left.

After Hardy brought Danny in, he closed the door and waited quietly outside.

Danny, who arrived last, didn't say anything and quietly sat down in his assigned spot, the fourth chair on the left.

To its right is Hina.

Sitting to the left of the throne, Lilith saw that everyone had arrived, and her mature and solemn voice, like that of a saint, echoed in the empty conference room.

"It's a pity that our master is not here on our first time using the Storm Council."

No one spoke; they listened quietly.

In Arkham today, in terms of status, Lilith is absolutely second only to the leader.

Lilith continued, “Our master has already bestowed upon us enough blessings and power. As great as he is, he has given us enough protection and time. Now it is time for us to repay our master.”

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Throughout this journey, Los has always been the one to handle many important matters personally. In many instances, they have not been able to help the great mayor; on the contrary, they themselves have needed the great mayor's help and guidance because of their own weakness and incompetence.

How to truly realize their own value is what they have always longed for.

Lilith continued, "You've probably all heard about the situation and what's going on."

Everyone nodded, and Murthy said, "I vaguely heard Rum say some things."

Lilith then said, "Time is of the essence, so I will quickly give you all the intelligence I have gathered and issue the relevant orders."

"First of all, it can be said clearly that this incident is the biggest crisis for Arkham since the rebirth of the Ancient God. I hope that everyone can demonstrate their value now and contribute their strength to our great master."

The crowd nodded quietly. Although they didn't respond with great enthusiasm or passion, they could all clearly feel each other's determination and passion.

Lilith stated directly, "While the enemy this time is the Imperial Military, the people we truly need to deal with are not them, but an ancient cult called the Brotherhood of the Yellow Kings."

"This organization is quite mysterious. It is currently unclear how many people they have or what their strength is, but it is certain that they worship a god who does not belong to this world and possess special powers that do not belong to this world."

Chapter 0251 Each Performs Their Duties

Hearing this, everyone present had never heard of such a thing before.

A deity or power that does not belong to this world represents the mystery and unknown nature of the other party, which is the most troublesome situation.

Kos straightened up slightly, as if he was quite interested in these guys.

Lilith continued, "Their goal is simple: to bring the King in Yellow into this world by sacrificing the humans of a city. This time, our Arkham is the one who will be sacrificed."

"This time, they cooperated with the military and, with the military's help, allowed one of their level 42 superhumans to enter Arkham silently. This superhuman is known as the Hidden One, whose abilities are unknown, but his body seems to be in a special state, rendering conventional attacks ineffective."

"I don't know exactly how many people the Yellow King Brotherhood has hidden in the city, but what I do know is that the dozen or so military spies are not enough to carry out the sacrifice of a city. They must have hidden other people and plans in places we haven't noticed."

"The intelligence I have now includes the following."

1. The Invisible Ones possess a special plague that does not belong to this world. This plague drives people into madness and, as the infection progresses, turns normal humans into monsters.

As far as Rum knew, the entire hospital was now shrouded in plague, and the invisible beings were among them.

2. There are people in our city who possess similar powers to the other side, but are enemies of the other side. The person riding a monster saved Rum.

3. The Unseen Ones want to use the hospital as a center to turn it into a giant plague bomb, so that its explosion will spread throughout the main city of Arkham.

4. The military will cooperate, and their spies will launch attacks throughout the city to distract us.

5. The other party possesses extremely strong abilities to infect and control minds.

6. The hospital is the core; to complete the sacrifice of the city, at least four more points of infection are needed.

After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.

Danny added, "To add to that, according to our investigation, Dr. Laban was also infected and went missing for unknown reasons. He is very likely wandering the city now. If any other nodes are needed, they must be related to Dr. Laban."

Charles added, "The Brotherhood of the King in Yellow, I've had some dealings with them. They're a bunch of real lunatics. The being they worship has special powers that can twist and change the shape of the human body. It's incredibly powerful and terrifying."

“There are no low-level believers in the entire Brotherhood. Although the number of people is small, everyone is an elite among elites. The person we encountered before was called the Caller. He just made a strange sound, and the people in both of our teams started to rot rapidly and then turned into a puddle of thick liquid.”

"The reason I survived was because I had a special amulet that helped me ward off that terrible curse."

Upon hearing this, Daryl and the others' expressions changed: "So terrifying?"

Charles nodded solemnly: "Yes, everyone must be careful."

After hearing this, Lilith said directly, "We don't have time to worry about so much right now. Judging from the current situation, the central hospital has accumulated enough virus. Once the barrier there is broken, the outbreak of the virus will cause huge losses even if it doesn't infect the whole city."

"Furthermore, we still don't know what kind of power that strange sandstorm inside will possess."

"Therefore, we now need to divide our forces into six groups."

"First, we need to ensure that the plague in the hospital does not spread or break out. It is now certain that the paladin's special aura can suppress the activity of those things, but the two paladins are currently stuck in the hospital and cannot get out."

"This team is in great danger, as they may very well be facing the plague. Who wants to go?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Murcy said, "I'm the most suitable person for this."

“Me too,” Kurvin added.

Lilith nodded: "Okay, I'll leave the hospital matters to you two. Make sure you handle them within two hours. The other side already knows their plan has been leaked and could do something rash at any time."

"clear."

After hearing this, the two people immediately stood up and said, "Time is of the essence, we'll be going now."

Lilith had no objection and continued, "Second team, eliminate the spies hiding in the Arkham military headquarters as quickly as possible."

“Leave this to me,” Sheena said, readily accepting the order.

Lilith nodded slightly, and Sheena then turned and left her seat.

"The third team, find Dr. Laban and the special entity he possesses that may be related to the King in Yellow as quickly as possible."

Danny stood up and said, "Leave this to me. I already have quite a few leads."

Charles stood up as well: "I also know a bit about this, and I can be of help in the past."

Lilith nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Fourth team, locate any potential sites of mutation within the city and contain them in time."

Barlow stood up: "Ms. Lilith, leave this to me. I've just started to get a clue."

"Are you sure?" Lilith asked.

Barlow smiled confidently: "Seventy percent certain."

"it is good."

"Fifth team, locate all possible members of the Yellow King Brotherhood in the city."

“Leave it to me.” Kos stood up, his voice low.

"Sixth team, redistribute the city's transportation and communication resources to ensure that this matter does not affect the press conference or cause a major disturbance."

Daryl stood up: "That's my job, of course."
