Starting with Blood Healing to become an Ancient God

"A bunch of idiots! Burning down the city hall won't do you any good. In the end, we'll all have to pay for its reconstruction!" Elizabeth expressed her utter disdain for this behavior.

She soon arrived at the stairs, ready to go up to the second floor.

The moment Elizabeth stood there, she was hit by a pungent smell of blood.

As Elizabeth walked up the steps to the turning platform in the middle, she suddenly saw a figure standing there somewhat blankly.

The person was dressed in similar black clothes to her, and was wearing sunglasses in the dark. Judging from the figure, he was male.

“Dr. Laban?” Elizabeth asked.

At this moment, the person turned his head slightly, revealing a face that resembled a rectangle.

He has a slightly long face and a wide jaw, but what is most striking is the protrusion on both sides of his chin, which is a typical buttock-shaped chin.

The man's nose bridge, brow bone, and hairline were all very high, making his overall appearance unappealing.

Looking through the gap next to his sunglasses, you could clearly see that his eye sockets were empty, without any eyeballs.

Dr. Laban's eyeless eyes "looked" at Elizabeth below the steps, and he spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice: "It seems I'm not the only one who's heard the rumors."

Elizabeth strode up and said, "It must be quite a big deal that we have to trouble the Grand Master of the Freemasonry, Dark Night, to come here."

Dr. Laban, whose full name is Laban Shrewsbury, is the de facto ruler of the North District and the head of the Redemption Society's Arkham Chapter.

The two had interacted before, and since there was no conflict of interest, their relationship was fairly good.

Dr. Laban turned and looked up at the stairs, saying, "It was more than just a lot of noise."

The higher you go up the stairs, the stronger the stench of blood becomes.

When Elizabeth walked up the stairs and looked down, she suddenly felt her breath catch in her throat and her scalp tingle.

This was a scene straight out of hell, with countless streams of blood flowing down the steps and corpses scattered all over the staircase.

The deaths of these corpses were horrific. Some were riddled with bullets, yet they still opened their mouths and bit the bodies of their former companions, gouging out their eyes and devouring their flesh.

Blood flowed freely, entrails littered the floor, and corpses piled up across the entire staircase.

"What on earth happened?" Elizabeth's heart trembled slightly.

Although she had received special training since childhood and had started killing and carrying out missions from a young age, she had never seen such a horrific and tragic scene.

In her mind, killing is a skill; how to kill elegantly, and how to kill without getting any blood on herself, is the direction she has always pursued and trained for.

But this is no longer murder, this is hell!

Dr. Laban remained relatively calm and said, "These people are members of the Vanx and Finn gangs."

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth was even more shocked. What kind of power could have turned these former comrades into enemies, causing them to kill their own comrade in such a bloody and cruel way?

"Ghosts and Demons"

Just then, a series of frantic whispers came from the corridor on the second floor.

Elizabeth leaped over the corpse-strewn steps and landed in the second-floor corridor.

Looking up at that moment, she was so frightened that she took two steps back, her whole body tensed up, and a lot of cold sweat seeped out from her back.

A dozen or so humans were hanging upside down from the ceiling in the corridor by some unknown method. Their contorted appearance as they died would terrify anyone who saw them.

They were like livestock hanging on a hook, constantly and slightly swayed by an invisible force.

The impact of such a scene in the dark corridor was so strong that Elizabeth even had the urge to jump out of the window and escape.

At this moment, Dr. Laban also jumped up. When Elizabeth saw this scene, she could clearly feel Laban's mouth twitch.

Clearly, he was also unable to adapt to this situation.

In the corner among these upside-down corpses, their old acquaintance Paul leaned against the wall.

He was completely terrified at this point, his face covered in tears and snot, and his crotch was overflowing with excrement and urine. He had completely lost his previous composure and calmness.

Chapter 0036 City Shaking

The two carefully circled around the hanging corpses and, upon getting closer, discovered that Paul's legs had been mostly gnawed away by his crazed henchmen, with bloodied bones exposed.

Beside him lay three or four of his men whom he had killed, and torn human tissue could even be seen in their mouths.

Paul, leaning against the wall, had abandoned reason in extreme fear and embraced madness.

Before the two men could get close, he trembled as he picked up the gun and pressed it against his mouth.

boom!

A gunshot rang out, and his body collapsed limply into a pool of blood.

Upon seeing Paul's suicide, both Elizabeth and Dr. Laban felt their hearts skip a beat.

They knew Paul quite well; he was a very bold and cunning man. His ruthlessness made him one of the two major black hands in Arkham, alongside Danny O'Bannon, the leader of the Danny gang.

However, the fact that such a person ended up in such a state left the two of them sighing with regret and trembling with emotion.

What kind of methods could possibly have tormented Paul to this state in just fifteen minutes?!

"Who exactly is it?" Elizabeth Anne asked, feigning ignorance.

She now truly understands Los's true power and is fully prepared to cooperate.

However, she has no interest in sharing such a powerful partner with other forces.

Now, Los Arkham's reintegration of Arkham City is inevitable, and Elizabeth naturally wants to be the first to reach a consensus and cooperation with this powerful mayor.

Laban said in a low voice, "It seems our mayor is quite extraordinary!"

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

The two exchanged a glance, then jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

Meanwhile, what arrived outside the city hall was not the police, nor the follow-up support from the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce, but the army.

This army consisted of a company of two hundred men stationed at the Masa military camp near the Sacred Sea.

The Massa military camp is located 70 kilometers from Arkham. Its main defense task is to guard the port and coastal security of the Sacred Sea, and its protection area also includes places such as Arkham and Innsmouth.

Despite its chaos, Arkham still wields considerable renown and influence due to the presence of Miskatonic University, one of the Empire's top ten universities.

Therefore, the military has always paid attention to and protected this area; otherwise, they would not have set up an armory here.

Los had already foreseen and planned tonight's operation. Therefore, he had already sought help from the military camp in the name of the municipal government in the afternoon, hoping to get the support and assistance of the army that night.

The reason given was that rioters would attack the Arkham armory and burn down the city government building tonight.

Dr. Morsi, who had a considerable reputation in the army, was also communicating with I.

Outside the municipal building, two teams of people arrived and quickly cordoned off the entire area.

The world's armies are now fully mechanized, with all soldiers arriving by car, and ammunition resupply vehicles following suit. It's clear that the military is taking this very seriously.

Outside the city hall, Los, Daryl, and Murthy were explaining the situation to the army's company commander.

The company commander who led the troops this time was a young man of about 30 years old, who was 1.8 meters tall and had a strong build. He was Captain Oyok.

After saluting, Captain Oyok looked at the young Los and sighed, "I am saddened by the death of Mayor Arkham. He was a good man and a great mayor."

“Thank you, Captain Oyok,” Los said, then added, “Captain, the overall situation is very bad right now. You and your soldiers need to be fully prepared. The situation inside is extremely dire.”

Captain Oyok nodded: "Don't worry, the soldiers of the Empire are all battle-hardened and can face anything."

Los said with relief, "That's good. To be honest, things aren't going well in Arkham right now. I just arrested all the police officers today."

"All the police!?" Oyok was taken aback.

Los nodded: "Yes, they have become completely corrupt. They collude with gang members to plunder arms depots, provide protection for gangs, and conduct illegal transactions."

Upon hearing this, Oyok gasped, then said with a look of resentment, "Mayor, you did a great job. I admire your decisiveness and courage!"

The soldiers then entered the municipal building, led by Oyok.

Los did not go in, but according to Dr. Murthy, who went in with him, about twenty soldiers vomited after seeing the scene.

Captain Oyok's face was also very ugly. While cleaning up the mess, he muttered to himself, "What exactly happened?"

Tonight may be long for some, but it will pass quickly for many.

As the sun gradually rises, people wake up from their sleep, get ready after breakfast, and then begin a new day of work.

However, soon everyone was drawn to one thing: the entire city government had been sealed off by the military, and even city hall staff were unable to enter to work.

This immediately attracted all the newspapers and media, who rushed here like sharks smelling blood.

At the same time, more residents gathered around, curious about what had happened.

At that moment, Los appeared before everyone and, together with Captain Oyok, faced a media interview, revealing the prepared account of events.

"Yesterday, a group of crazed thugs attempted to burn down the entire city hall and loot the entire armory. Fortunately, the brave Captain Oyok led his troops to catch up with them and stopped this crazy operation."

"After that, we were attacked by fanatical cultists who drove the mobs into a frenzy, killing each other in an attempt to silence them!"

"With Captain Oyok's help, we have investigated the whole matter thoroughly and have obtained sufficient evidence."

"I, Los Arkham, the mayor of Arkham, declare that the masterminds behind yesterday's riots that burned down the city hall are the Finn and Vanks gangs, controlled by a cult! And this damned cult is called the Hand of Chaos!"

"I, Los Arkham, swear here and now that I will utterly destroy this Hand of Chaos, bring solace to the dead, and free our citizens from their fear!"

Click!

Click!

Immediately, a series of flashes appeared, capturing Los's indignant expression.

"In order to showcase the cruelty of thugs and cults, we allow some journalists with strong enough mental fortitude to go in. Those who want to go in can apply to Captain Oyok."

Chapter 0037 Player!?

Upon hearing that they could go inside to film, the group of reporters were naturally overjoyed. Their goal was to obtain firsthand information, and whether the scene was bloody or not was not important to them.

Even if it's incredibly gory, how gory can it get?

So the dozen or so reporters present all raised their hands, indicating that they wanted to go in and see what was going on.

Despite repeated warnings and reminders from Los and Captain Oyok, the dozen or so reporters remained confident.

Just as the thirteen reporters were about to go in, Los suddenly noticed something.

Among these reporters, a young reporter in his late twenties suddenly pulled out a die from somewhere as he entered.
