Starting with Blood Healing to become an Ancient God

“Why do you say that?” Los asked.

Armitage explained: "In the religion of Helios, the normal limit is nine, there is no ten, because ten represents the world."

"The chains on the bodies we found before were only one to three meters long. From the current perspective, when the entire doctrine could no longer be maintained, those fanatical believers thought that the world had been completely corrupted and that everyone had fallen."

"Then they hoped that someone could bear all the evil in the world and make them good."

After listening, Los sighed, "Bearing all the sins of this world? No wonder."

No wonder they are called guilty people, no wonder they are so sensitive to sin.

“There were no demons in the world originally, and then people believed in demons, so demons appeared in their minds. It’s really ridiculous,” Los sneered.

Looking at Los's current state, Armitage could clearly sense his dissatisfaction and disgust towards the Church of the Sun.

Armitage hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "May I go and see that thing?"

A glint flashed in Los's eyes, and he said seriously, "Doctor, this matter is rather strange. You'd better not get involved."

Chapter 0069 Ivan's Fear

Upon hearing Los's warning, Armitage snapped out of his reverie, remembering his other identity. He took a deep breath, suppressing his curiosity, and with the last vestige of wariness towards Los, sighed, "Thank you for reminding me. I shouldn't have asked so many questions."

A glint flashed in Los's eyes. From this sentence, he was now completely certain that Dr. Armitage belonged to an organization related to the supernatural.

Otherwise, given his normal personality, he might have hesitated at this point, but he still couldn't suppress his curiosity about knowledge.

However, his complete refusal indicates that he still harbors some special wariness and concerns about me, preventing him from having too much contact with me.

Los didn't say anything more and changed the subject to start chatting with him.

He doesn't need Dr. Armitage to join him right now; the best kind of talent is someone who is subtly lured in and gradually falls into his fold.

The two talked for about two hours, and at 4:30 pm, Ross left the library with the materials, a satisfied smile on his face.

For the next ten days or so, the entire city of Arkham seemed to fall into a frighteningly calm state of affairs.

Los continued to work hard every day, and the renovation project of the slums officially began.

This renovation is very thorough; the ground has been completely dug up to rebuild the drainage, gas, and water supply systems of this slum.

Such a thorough project immediately moved the poor, who made up 60% of the population in the central district, to tears of gratitude. They wished they could worship the great mayor as a god.

Los worked day and night with exceptional efficiency. In the past ten days, he had completely completed the public ownership and reorganization of the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce, and all the key personnel were in place.

Meanwhile, thanks to the massive efforts of the police, the chaotic security situation in the central area was reduced, and in less than a month, the crime rate became the second lowest in the region.

The prosperity of the central area does not mean that other areas are as stable as the central area.

Recently, there have been several very serious injuries and even occasional explosions in the North and East districts, causing widespread panic in both areas.

Ivan was one of them, and even more terrified than anyone else, because he was involved in two of the explosions.

"Damn it! Those lunatics! Madmen!" In the early morning, Ivan knelt on the ground, his face pale, repeatedly banging his head against the wall, muttering to himself, his condition extremely poor.

Recently, he has been working at night and hiding during the day to investigate the batch of stolen medicines in the East District. He has also clashed with the pirates of the Tide Pirates several times, and he was almost captured twice.

Although he felt he was getting closer to the truth, he was the first to feel that his spirit was about to give out.

Those crazy Innsmouth people, they all turn back into their hideous and disgusting forms at night, and just getting close to them makes him want to vomit.

Those monsters were incredibly ferocious and insane. On two occasions, when he was hiding in the shadows, he turned around and saw that pale, hideous face, which terrified him so much that his hair stood on end and his hands and feet turned ice cold.

Most importantly, in these ten days, three investigators have already died at their hands.

These creatures who died tragically didn't even get a proper burial. They had a special method to turn the corpses of their companions into dog food, and the dogs that ate that dog food would undergo a bizarre evolution and go insane.

Looking down at his left arm, he saw a deep, bone-revealing wound on his left forearm, which looked like it had been inflicted by some kind of monster with ferocious teeth.

Yellow pus was constantly oozing from the pale skin. Although the bleeding had stopped overnight, there was no sign of healing.

Most importantly, some of the bacteria in this wound are completely unresponsive to ordinary medications.

At this moment, centered on those hideous bite wounds, the pale flesh was gradually spreading, and even in the center of the wounds, one could vaguely see the completely rotten flesh, and just getting close enough to smell a nauseating odor.

"Damn it! Damn it! We were so close! So close!" Ivan didn't dare go to the hospital. The monsters were very powerful. After so many encounters, they knew him very well and had even started a round-the-clock manhunt.

"Boom boom boom!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on my door.

This seemingly ordinary knock startled Ivan so much that his clothes were instantly soaked with sweat, and his heart began to pound.

"Who?" Ivan asked, trying to keep his voice normal.

A steady voice came from outside the door: "Police, we need your assistance in the investigation."

Upon hearing this, Ivan immediately thought of the monstrous police officers in the central district. He hurriedly tied his arms together, then carefully opened the door, leaving a crack in it.

Through the gap, he saw a burly policeman in a police uniform with bronze skin.

He recognized the policeman; he was Detective Jike, who was quite well-known in the central area.

"Officer, what's the matter?" Ivan asked lazily, a tone that suited his current expression.

Jike asked, "Last night, there was a gunfight on Derby Street, and then the gunman moved to this area. Did you see it?"

Ivan shook his head and said, "Sorry, officer, I haven't been feeling well these past few days. I've been sleeping very soundly, and I didn't even hear the gunshot."

Jik looked down at Ivan's face, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Okay, take care of yourself."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Watching the imposing officer leave, Ivan locked the door and breathed a deep sigh of relief: "That guy, he's at least level 20!"

"Are there level 20 cops everywhere? What kind of hellhole is this?!" Ivan cursed, reaffirming his determination to leave.

"Last night's gunfight? This North District is Redemption Society territory. The ones causing trouble here are probably those witches from the Forbidden Gate. If you want to cause trouble, stay away from me!"

In the offices of the city hall in the central district.

Daryl reported: "The renovation of the slums is progressing very smoothly, the integration of the core industries in the central area has been completed, and the salary adjustments and grading of public officials have begun to be officially implemented."

Los nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, Daryl."

Daryl then reported, "Mayor, the battle between the Forbidden Gate and the Redemption Society is intensifying, and the entire North District is in a state of panic. Are we really not going to take action?"

Los said with a smile, "Of course I won't abandon my lovely citizens, but we need a suitable opportunity now, and once I'm inside, I don't plan to leave."

Chapter 0070 A Kind Smile

Upon hearing this, Daryl immediately understood Los's intention and asked, "I noticed that you've also been investigating the stolen medicine recently."

Los: "This is the perfect opportunity for us to enter the North District."

"The Tide Pirates and the Redemption Society have nothing to do with each other!" Daryl said, somewhat puzzled.

Los smiled. "Not yet, but soon."

During their conversation, there was a knock on the door.

Then, Sheena, dressed as a doctor and with her hair in pigtails, walked in, followed by Zeke.

"Is the target on the verge of a mental breakdown?" Los asked.

Jike nodded: "As you expected, the target plans to leave here tonight."

Los smiled, but there was a hint of mockery and amusement in his smile: "My Arkham, is it something you can come and go as you please?"

"Sheena, how are your preparations going?" Los asked.

When Sheena heard her master's master ask her a question, she was very happy. The corners of her mouth gradually widened, revealing a very terrifying and twisted smile. She said, "Great master, please rest assured, I have already made all the preparations."

“Go ahead, it’s time to show your worth,” Los said with a smile.

"I will obey your command."

For the past ten days or so, she has been following Murcy around, conducting all sorts of strange and unusual research.

A spirit that has undergone a complete mutation possesses a vision and knowledge capacity that ordinary people do not have at all.

She learned very quickly in those ten days, and she seemed to have a great talent for medicine.

With her help, the problematic medicine that Murthy had previously used was continuously improved and repaired.

However, as their knowledge deepened, the two people's areas of expertise diverged.

Murthy specializes in the study of various types of blood, while Sheena is more obsessed with the structure of the human body.

Then she developed severe necrophilia.

She was fascinated by dissecting corpses, believing that the internal organs and bones were exquisite works of art, a gift from the world to her.

It was precisely because of his detailed and meticulous research on the human body that Murthy was able to more accurately observe the reactions and mutations that the drugs produced on the human body during his experiments.

Of course, it wasn't just Sheena who was studying medicine with them; there were also the two poor children who had been frightened, Rum and Debbie.

The two were traumatized and went to Arkham Sanatorium to rest after being discharged from the hospital.

Kur accidentally discovered that the two children were actually studying medical knowledge. After questioning them in detail, he introduced them to Murthy, and they became his apprentices.

Of course, the two children can't help much right now; they spend most of their time learning the basic theories and cleaning.

But even cleaning was a very happy thing for the two children, because they encountered many amazing and incredible things there.

The two children are quite young, one is fourteen and the other is twelve. Because they haven't had much formal education, their understanding of the world is still in a state of vague speculation, which makes their minds more malleable.

The two children quickly and naturally adapted to the extraordinary experiments in the inhuman laboratory.

Los was very satisfied with this. Children's worldviews are not yet fully formed, making them easier to mold and tolerate.

"Where is Lilith now?" Daryl suddenly asked.

He realized that he hadn't seen Lilith for three days.

Ross smiled. "She's running her own business."

"Your own business?" Daryl was stunned.

As night fell, Ivan had packed almost all his belongings and planned to leave as soon as the sun went down.

He now lives on the northernmost edge of the North District, near the suburbs. From his apartment, it's less than a kilometer away from Arkham, and once he leaves this area, he'll be completely safe.

The pain in his left arm was now even more pronounced; even now, wrapped in bandages, he could smell the rotting odor.

As soon as Ivan opened the door after nightfall, he suddenly heard a piercing bark from a dog.

Hearing the dog bark, he instinctively trembled. He was terrified of being bitten by those rabid dogs, and the last thing he wanted to encounter in his life was them.
