"Legend has it that believers were once burned alive, and then their hands and feet were chopped off. The screams never stopped for seven days and seven nights, and could even be heard in the local area... That's how it felt."

Kanie bent his legs and waist, his body was tense and trembling constantly, his bulging eyes were filled with scarlet bloodshot, his tongue slipped out of his open mouth, his hands were bent like chicken claws, and a creepy roar came out of his throat.

Ito Jun almost drew his gun in public. Although he had known for a long time that this island was not normal, Kanie's performance made him realize that he had underestimated these cultists.

“Is it really okay to give the tour guide job to someone like this?”

Chubby Koizumi couldn't help but complain.

“It feels a little dangerous.”

Yamashita Che was also quite speechless.

Ito Jun thought about it and pulled down the night vision goggles on his forehead.

With a dizzying perspective, Ito Jun saw his own eyes through the mirror stone, and used his eyes to see the town in front of him.

At a cursory glance, there didn't seem to be anything wrong, Kanie was a little crazy, but he was still human.

Jun Ito immediately pushed up the night vision goggles. This thing was really uncomfortable to use.

Everyone walked to the beach and followed the rocky path. There was a small hill in front of them and a cave blocked by iron railings.

"Deep within this cave is the gathering place of the Christians."

"Hey!"

Jiangkou shouted into the cave and could hear an echo.

It sounds like it's deep.

“Where will it extend to?”

"The meeting place is about 20 meters ahead, and I don't know where it is further down."

Ito Jun put down the night vision goggles. If he was not mistaken, this was where the zombies lived.

There seemed to be something wandering in the depths of the cave, but it was too far away to be seen clearly.

Ito Jun pushed up the night vision goggles, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"This must be a very sacred place for them."

Shikino clasped his hands together and closed his eyes in a prayer gesture.

"What the president said is absolutely right!"

"Me, I'm a Christian too, so my tears came out!"

The members' reactions were extremely exaggerated; some were even wiping tears.

Ito Jun sighed silently and walked away without interest.

Standing on the cliff by the sea, Ito Jun stretched lazily, looking at the vast ocean, feeling inexplicably palpitating.

"The green fat guy and his followers..."

Ito Jun took two steps back and was about to leave when a corpse came into his sight.

The body was lying in the water below the cliff, with the upper body resting on a raised rock. The exposed skin was covered with pits and wounds, and crabs were crawling all over his face.

"..."

Ito Jun said nothing and returned to the team.

The group toured the island and it was already noon when they returned to the hotel. Kanie asked the boss to prepare a seafood dinner for everyone from the Local History Research Society. After everyone enjoyed the meal happily, Kanie told everyone to have a good rest and come to attend the festival in the evening.

"Everyone, let's go to the meeting place and take a look."

As soon as Kanie left, Shikino immediately made a proposal while the boss was away.

"President, the outside of the meeting place is locked, right?"

No one would object to Shikino's proposal, but Yamashita Che raised a question.

"It doesn't matter. We'll sort things out when the time comes."

Shikino walked to the door of the hotel, looked at the street outside, and walked out quickly.

Yamashita, Koizumi and others also hurried to follow.

"One or two, they are really not afraid of death."

Ito Jun opened his backpack and sorted out his equipment.

Pistols, daggers, No. 76 Molotov cocktails, grenades, time bombs, remote-controlled bombs, all kinds of weapons are carried on the body to ensure that they can be taken out at the first moment at the critical moment.

Outside the cave, Shikino took out a hairpin, wiggled it a few times, and the door lock opened.

Shikino opened the iron railing and walked in without hesitation.

"Is it really okay? You shouldn't be allowed to come in and out casually here, right?"

Jiangkou stood outside the cave and spoke hesitantly.

"That's fine. Mr. Kanie didn't say we can't go in here. If we really can't go in, he would definitely tell us, right?"

Shikino said lightly.

"Is that right?"

Eguchi was convinced and quickly caught up with Shikino.

"...No one would have thought that a locked door would be opened."

Ito Jun kicked the iron lock that fell on the ground, pulled out his pistol, turned on the safety, and followed him in.

Shikino walked in front with a flashlight, Yamashita, Koizumi and others surrounded him, and Ito Jun followed at the end. The group slowly moved inside.

The light in the cave was very dim. For some reason, the flashlight could only illuminate a very small area, as if there was a monster in the darkness swallowing up the light.

Moreover, apart from the footsteps of the crowd, no other sound could be heard. In this dark and silent place, the atmosphere was so terrifying that everyone couldn't help but feel nervous and moved closer to each other.

Not only that, the surrounding stone walls are full of jagged rocks, and you can easily hit your head if you are not careful. The first to suffer was the person walking at the foot of the mountain. He hit his head on a rock and cried out in pain.

"Shh! Be careful... Ouch!"

Shikino whispered, but before he could finish his words, he seemed to trip over something and fell to the ground.

"Be careful, President."

"President, you are not hurt?"

"I brought a Band-Aid."

Several boys quickly gathered around and helped Shiye up.

Ito Jun closed his eyes and he felt like there was some sound nearby.

After Shikino fell, there were discordant sounds.

Is it an illusion? Whether it is an illusion or not, it should be taken seriously in this worldview.

Ito Jun put on night vision goggles, took a few steps back, hid between several protruding rocks, squatted down quietly, and observed the movements around him from the space under the rocks.

About ten meters away, something seemed to be shaking in the pit on the ground near the wall.

The next moment, Ito Jun saw the curved surface of the water - his own eyes.

On the water surface, a figure was reflected, which was similar to a human, but it could not be called a human. It stood upright on two feet, leaning forward, and looked like a dog standing up. Its rubber-like skin made people feel disgusted.

Chapter 51: The Effect of the Old Seal

"Ghoul?"

Ito Jun held on to the wall, feeling dizzy.

With great difficulty concentrating, Ito Jun looked over again.

A ghoul-like monster with a glowing blue light on its abdomen.

Is it a weakness?

Ito Jun is not so sure, but it is worth a try.

On the other side, the people in the Local History Research Society were completely unaware of the pressure that Ito Jun was facing. Shikino shone the flashlight towards the place where he tripped, and an arm holding a pistol appeared in everyone's sight.

Everyone froze. Shikino shone the flashlight further away, but did not see the body.

There, there was only an arm holding a pistol.

"President! What's going on?!"

"Corpse, this is part of a corpse, right?"

“Why is there a dead person here?”

Everyone couldn't help but panic. They were all just ordinary high school students, and no one had seen the body except Ito Jun and Shikino.

Shikino couldn't help but frown.

The club’s investigation activities were not the first or second time, but this seemed to be the first time they actually encountered an incident.

By the way, where did that guy Ito go?

Realizing that Ito Jun was not moving, Shikino raised his head and looked for Ito Jun, but it was not easy to find Ito Jun who was hiding.

"Why are you here?"

At this time, an angry questioning voice sounded.

Shikino raised his flashlight and shone it in the direction of the sound. Several figures holding torches appeared in the light.

Only then did she realize that there was a walkway higher up in the cave. The figures holding torches were standing in the corridor, about twenty meters away from them and more than three meters high.

"Oh, we accidentally got lost, uncle, can you take us out?"

Shikino pretended to be innocent and called out to the people up there in a youthful and energetic voice.

"Now that you're in, don't even think about leaving. The last person who broke in without permission has already become food."

The cultist said grimly.

"Hey! You are committing a crime! A crime!"

"What on earth do you want to do? We just wandered in by mistake!"

The members were shocked and angry. Ito Jun took a quick look but found nothing because of the obstruction of the strange rock.

Never mind, when I get out later, I’ll kill them all.

A vicious look flashed in Ito Jun's eyes.

Suddenly, Ito Jun was stunned. There seemed to be a symbol on the wall next to him.

Ito Jun reached out and touched it, and a piece of stone fell off. He held it in front of his eyes and took a closer look. The shape of the stone was like a star, with a broken diamond in the center. The diamond seemed to be imitating an eye in an abstract way, and some other lines suggested that it might be a flame, or a pillar of fire - an old seal! ?

"According to the true teachings, it is said that after Christ's resurrection, he has been hiding in the sea where the Father is. When the day of final judgment comes, he will return to the surface and destroy all pagans."

The cultists holding torches started talking about their doctrines. Ito Jun came to his senses, listened to a few words, and felt that it would be better to believe in Aqua than to believe in this stuff.

"Aha?"

"Is your head all right?"

Everyone in the research group also thought it was nonsense and looked at the cultists as if they were idiots.

"Although rumors say that the believers on this island were persecuted, this is not actually the case. The people who protected the true teachings went into hiding, and the betrayers were handed over. Cursed by God, they still survived in this cave by eating corpses even if they were burned to charcoal or had their limbs chopped off."

Shikino heard the sound of water and shone the flashlight over there. More than a dozen zombies floated up from the puddle. Their horrific appearances made the members scream in fear.

Ito Junya was a little confused.

Is that too much?!

"You are the living sacrifices. There are so many sacrifices this year. I think Master Daruma will be very happy, right?"

The cultists laughed happily, and the terrifying laughter rose one after another, echoing in the dark depths of the cave.

Shikino picked up the pistol without thinking and pulled the trigger at the zombie. The bullet fired from the muzzle left a small hole on the zombie's body.
