Starting with Blood Healing to become an Ancient God

After a brief moment of reflection, everyone realized that all their suspicions were based on subjective conjecture, and they had almost no actual evidence to prove that this good mayor had any problems.

At this point, even the somewhat extreme Joseph could not refute Kingston's words.

“Gina, contact Karma,” Kingston said.

Gina responded with an "Mmm" and then closed her eyes.

Half an hour later, the cell door opened again, and this time, their last member, Kama, was brought in.

"What happened? How did you get arrested too?" Joseph asked in astonishment.

Kama said with a wronged expression, "I was running in a hurry after hearing the news, and I knocked down a boy named Rum and spilled his ice cream. I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention."

"Before I even ran out of the city center, the police caught me. The little boy accused me of assaulting him and robbing him, but I didn't."

The other six people looked at each other, now completely convinced that as long as they remained in the city, they had no chance of escaping the clutches of the other side.

At that moment, Conte walked in with another burly policeman, who was about forty-five years old.

The police officer's name is Luther Harden. He is a detective with a rather volatile temper and one of the veteran officers in Los Angeles's reboot.

Compared to Conte, this detective, who has a somewhat roguish air, is very upright and principled at heart, but he doesn't care about the means and operates in both the legal and illegal worlds. After resigning to become a policeman, he even transformed a gang of more than forty teenagers into the largest volunteer group in the central district.

Harden walked in, a cigar dangling from his lips, glanced at the notes in his hand, and said in his powerful, rough voice, "Following police, planning to kill a large number of civilians; assaulting others because of dissatisfaction with sales pitches; robbing children of ice cream—you outsiders certainly have a lot of tricks up your sleeves."

Looking at the others, Conte smiled and said, "The mayor always says that a family should be together. Now it seems that your group should also be together, even when it comes to going to jail."

Kingston gave a wry smile: "Officers, there's a lot of misunderstanding here. We're all law-abiding citizens."

"Good Citizen" Harden raised his thick, wild eyebrows, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, "Do you really think we're fools? We've looked at other files, and the charges against you guys include arson, illegal imprisonment, even robbing a police station's armory, assaulting the elderly, and beating children."

"It's really like punching a nursing home and kicking a kindergarten," Harden said sarcastically.

Chapter 0096 Armitage's Visit

Miskatonic University Library.

"Dr. Armitage, what should we do now?" At this moment, Dr. Morgan had already received news that the entire investigation team had been arrested. He not only received Gina's communications, but also received a call from the city police department.

As the host and contact person for the seven people here, Morgan was the first person they would call if something happened.

The caller was Inspector Harden, an upright police officer who had left a deep impression on him and whom he had a good impression of.

Hearing Harden's rough voice recount the seven men's past and present transgressions, he almost blurted out that everything they had done before was for the safety of the city's residents.

The police station that was robbed in the case was staffed by officers who had been brainwashed by a cult and were preparing to carry out a bloody massacre, so they looted the armory.

The old man was imprisoned because his son had turned into a monster, and he was imprisoned to protect her.

As for that child, he is a psychologically twisted murderer who has killed fifteen humans who have become his food. He has also gained superhuman strength through cannibalism.

…………

There is a truth to all of this, but Morgan cannot reveal it because it is part of the oath in the Green Covenant.

One of their responsibilities is to prevent ordinary people from being exposed to these horrors.

Harden then asked him to come over and assist with the investigation. This situation threw the archaeology PhD, who didn't have much experience in this area, off guard.

Armitage, sitting behind his desk, adjusted his glasses. Beneath the slightly wrinkled corners of his eyes were a pair of calm and wise ones.

"This matter cannot be rushed, Morgan."

Armitage stood up and walked towards the coat rack.

"What are your plans?" Morgan asked, his eyes filled with eager anticipation.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that even though he considered himself mature and independent enough, he was still so confused and helpless in the face of real crises and problems.

Armitage put on his hat and clothes and said, "It's obvious that this was Arkham's doing."

Morgan had already considered this possibility.

“The power Arkham wields has exceeded our imagination. I already told you not to investigate him rashly,” Armitage sighed.

Morgan did not speak righteously and courageously about his theories of justice as before; he fell silent, his face flushed.

At that moment, he felt a deep sense of shame.

Armitage continued, "I have some confidence in my ability to judge people. Arkham is not a threat to us. The fact that he has only used the police and has not directly started a war shows his rationality and benevolence."

"Otherwise, given Arkham tradition and these people's criminal records, they could be hanged tomorrow."

Morgan looked up, now like a student humbly seeking knowledge: "Doctor, what should we do now?"

"Go drive. Judging from our last conversation, Arkham still respects me enough. Perhaps my old face still has some influence."

Morgan listened without saying anything more and turned to prepare the car.

200 Ke Wen Street, Mayor's Villa.

Los was lying on Lilith's lap, enjoying the Outer God massage techniques that Lilith had learned over the years.

In terms of understanding, absorbing, and applying that knowledge, even if Xena and a dozen others were combined, they wouldn't be able to match one percent of Lilith's abilities.

The true power of this knowledge can only be truly understood after one transcends the limitations of normal human beings.

"Master, how is it?" Lilith asked tentatively, rubbing Los's temples with both hands.

Los nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. Ever since I modified this head, the internal structure seemed to have some problems, and it has felt a bit stiff. Now it feels much more comfortable."

Lilith was immediately delighted: "I just used the Ancient God Tentacle Massage Technique, which can effectively relieve tissue stiffness."

"Great! Great!" Los said, reaching out to touch Lilith's long, fair legs. "These legs are amazing!"

As the two were enjoying themselves, Carrington's voice came: "Young Master, Armitage is here."

Los opened his eyes after hearing this: "I didn't realize that Sheena's plan was so meticulous."

“That child has been very serious and hardworking since receiving your task. She has gone through this plan hundreds of times.” Lilith said, lowering her skirt to cover her legs.

Los sat up: "Take them to the study, prepare chairs and drinks. I will need these two very much in the future."

"Ok."

Five minutes later, in Los's study.

After a warm greeting, Armitage led Morgan to sit down.

The two people who sat down glanced at Lilith, who was standing to the side with a smile like that of a saint.

Morgan couldn't help but clench his fists; he felt a deep sense of threat emanating from Lilith.

"Professor, you've come here so suddenly today, is there something you need?" Los asked with a smile.

Morgan's heart tightened: "He really knew. How should I answer that?"

While Morgan was struggling with his decision, Armitage casually laughed and said, "Can't you come and see my outstanding student if you don't have anything to do?"

Los laughed and said, "Of course, you can come anytime."

Armitage then said, "I didn't come here for anything else today. I just forgot to mention some things about the Sun God Cult from last time, and I wanted to ask if you have any other relevant information."

Los said happily, "Please go ahead! There's still some information, some newly discovered, but the clues are rather scattered."

Immediately, the two began to study the Sun God Cult, just like an ordinary teacher and student.

This research lasted for two hours.

Morgan, standing to the side, was secretly anxious but helpless. Throughout the whole process, Armitage seemed to have completely forgotten about the matter, chatting and laughing with Los.

After recounting the story of the Sun God Cult, Los was very pleased and said he had benefited greatly.

Armitage then said, "Actually, regarding the Sun God Cult, we recently had an archaeological team that is very knowledgeable in this area, but for some reason, they suddenly disappeared today. Could you help me find them?"

"An archaeological team?" Los was taken aback.

“Yes, the leader is a man named Lee Kingston. He’s a passionate, kind, and righteous guy,” Armitage said.

“This name sounds familiar!” Los asked, puzzled.

Lilith, who was standing nearby, said, "Master, we just caught a criminal gang today, and their leader also has this name."

Hearing this, Morgan felt his heart begin to race; the conversation was finally getting on track.

But the next second, he suddenly felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

"A criminal gang? It must be someone with the same name! How could our University of Michigan archaeological team be criminals!"

"You agree, Dr. Armitage, Dr. Morgan?"

Chapter 0097 I'll Give You Face

Looking at Los's smiling face, Morgan couldn't say a word for a long time.

Fortunately, Armitage then asked, "Mayor, what are your thoughts on the East District and the River District?"

"Thoughts? I don't have any ideas!" Los said casually.

Armitage said calmly, "I know your ambitions, and I know you want to build Arkham into a better place. You want to free the people at the bottom from those despicable gangs."

“That is indeed my plan,” Los nodded.

Armitage: "You should know that the Tide Pirates and a cult called Dagon are hiding in the East and River districts, right?"

Los didn't pretend to be stupid and nodded, saying, "I know."

Armitage said seriously, "We have received intelligence that the Dagon cult seems to be conducting evil rituals through special methods. Kingston and the others are the experts we invited here to investigate in Innsmouth."

"You should know the reason behind this."

Los looked at Armitage but didn't say anything.

Armitage continued, "You have always had the power to regain control of the East District and the River District, but now you are hindered by the Tide Pirates and the Dagon Cult."

"And our group of experts can help you deal with these two troublesome enemies and help you regain control of the East District and the River District."

After listening, Los narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you sure? According to my intelligence, these seven people seem to be planning to cause trouble in the central area, and even plan to take the opportunity to eliminate me as well?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There must be some misunderstanding!" Morgan said hurriedly.

Los leaned back slightly in his chair, his hands clasped in front of him. This single gesture transformed the eager, smiling student into a powerful, mature, and composed mayor.

Upon seeing this scene, the two learned doctors felt their breath catch in their throats. At this moment, Los exuded a powerful aura that completely suppressed them, as if a giant was sitting there, looking down at the two ants in front of him.

After ten seconds of silence in the room, Los spoke.
