Chapter 63 Demonic ritual, terrifying monster
Bang, bang, bang!
The zombies picked up stones and smashed the nearby stone walls along the edge of the hole. The disgusting smell became stronger.
Hasta was better, but his face was ugly. Lecturer Foren couldn't hold on and was retching against a stone wall.
"The smell of corpses?"
"Yes, and it takes a lot of corpses to form such a strong smell."
Maric gave a positive answer. According to his estimation, there were at least dozens of corpses in here, maybe almost a hundred.
He couldn't imagine what kind of things could be born in such a place.
"In your limited knowledge of mysticism, do you have any knowledge about burying people in the soil to nourish something?"
"..."
Maric looked at Hasta speechlessly. In this situation, he didn't forget to insult himself. It seems that his mentality is still very good.
"Generally, there are only earth paths related to soil. Such bloody massacres and piles of corpses are more in line with the behavior of demons." Maric said, his pupils dilated.
Demon?
Could everything here be caused by the devil?
Hastur did not speak, he also thought of the devil. The Abyss Path is undoubtedly the most bloody and cruel Extraordinary Path.
The Extraordinaries of this Path are already fundamentally different from normal humans.
Whether it is daily acting or promotion to high sequence, they are required to be inhumane and pave their own Extraordinary Path with blood and cruelty.
"Demons often use fresh lives to hold sacrificial ceremonies to obtain extraordinary power from the Lord they worship. If the situation is bad, you two should be careful."
Maric gave a serious warning, and then led the two zombies into the cave first. Hastur and Lecturer Foren followed behind with a lamp, leaving a zombie to guard the entrance.
Entering the cave, passing through a narrow corridor about ten meters long, you will arrive at a relatively wide secret room.
Click, click...
As people walked on the ground, the sound of bones breaking came from time to time. Lecturer Foren's face turned pale, his feet were numb, and he didn't dare to look down at the ground.
This is more of a large burial pit than a secret room.
Maric took the kerosene lamp from Lecturer Foren and looked around with a vigilant face.
The soil here is very loose, and there are many burial pits on the ground.
Maric tried to let the zombies dig up a few burial pits. They were not buried deep, and there were white skeletons inside. Their heads were cut off or missing.
Judging from the size and shape of the skeletons, they should be children under fourteen years old.
Hasta and Lecturer Foren both thought of what Professor Wayne said before, that someone buried children in the soil in the workhouse.
This is where the children are buried!
After a rough estimate, there are at least seventy or eighty children buried here!
Compared with the corpses that convicted Dean Daen before, there is no comparison at all.
Lecturer Foren suddenly said, "Go about 50 meters from here, right below the cemetery of the workhouse?"
During the day, he followed several police officers to search the workhouse and passed by the area near the bell tower. What impressed him most was the cemetery not far from the bell tower.
Marichi stopped and asked in surprise, "Are you saying that someone moved the bodies in the cemetery here to bury them?"
"If the distance is not far." Lecturer Foren said, and suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He couldn't help but move closer to Hasta and held the lamp wall of the kerosene lamp with his hand. The warm feeling relieved a lot of panic in his heart.
Hasta secretly rubbed his fingers, opened his spiritual vision, scanned a few times, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Maric, generally speaking, when so many corpses gather together, shouldn't their spirits after death also stay here?"
"The church has special personnel to deal with this problem, and generally there will be no dead spirits after death."
"What if there are no church personnel to deal with it?"
"Then there will definitely be..."
Maric's expression suddenly changed. Holding the oil lamp, he quickly approached Hasta and Lecturer Foren, and asked the two zombies to be careful.
When he came to Hasta, he lowered his voice and said: "Their spirits after death were eaten by something!"
Devil's sacrifice!
Maric can now be sure of this!
In this dark environment, perhaps something has been eyeing them in the dark.
"Leave here first, and dig directly from the cemetery to bring in the sun tomorrow."
Hasta's face was also solemn, and he walked towards the entrance with Lecturer Foren.
At this time, a bell sounded in the depths of the darkness.
Ding-ling-ling!
Ding-ling-ling!
The sound was urgent and was gradually approaching here!
Squeak!
Something seemed to be opening its mouth in the darkness, revealing its fangs.
Bang!
The zombie responsible for guarding the front encountered a huge force and was directly slapped out and hit the wall!
"Go! It's coming!"
Maric shouted, asking Hasta and Lecturer Foren to leave here quickly.
They quickly entered the narrow corridor and gradually approached the entrance with the dim light.
Bang!
Another dull sound sounded in the darkness.
This time, Maric used the kerosene lamp in his hand to vaguely see the appearance of the thing.
"Fuck!"
Maric's face turned green and he cursed a swear word, but Hasta didn't hear what he said.
They quickly passed through the ten-meter corridor. Lecturer Foren walked out of the entrance and took a look at the zombies still guarding here. His nervous mood was slightly relaxed.
"Take off your shirt! Give it to me!"
Hasta said, and Lecturer Foren immediately did as he was told, taking off his shirt and handing it to Hasta.
Hasta smashed the lamp wall of the kerosene lamp and lit the shirt worth 1 gold pound and 4 soles.
The blazing flames ignited, and Hasta waited for Maric to withdraw and threw it into the corridor.
The bright fire illuminated the corridor, which was not long, and also clearly illuminated the things that had been following.
The head, a fresh and tender head, they merged into the head, back, and body of a creature like a black panther.
The creature was covered with black hair, about two meters tall and about three meters long. At this moment, it was showing its fangs shining with cold light, and saliva was dripping from the corners of its mouth.
A string of bells with a dark yellow luster was ringed around the neck of this creature.
The ding-ling-ling sound just now came from this bell.
Hastur recognized two of the heads, one was called Amy and the other was called Simon.
These were the two children who were caught shaking the bells one after another in the middle of the night when they came to the workhouse last time!
Unexpectedly, they were already dead, and they turned into such terrible monsters!
Now, many problems can be explained.
The bell that truly possesses extraordinary power is the one hanging around the neck of this monster.
The bell that Amy and Simon shook was just an ordinary bell. The meaning of shaking that bell was to notify the monster that this child was the chosen sacrifice and could go hunting!
The demon lurking in the workhouse deliberately threw the string of bells on the road that the children must pass by, to see who was lucky enough to pick it up, and who couldn't help shaking the bell at night, who would be the next sacrifice!
Bloody and cruel!
Hastur rarely felt angry, but he soon calmed down.
He still had some things he hadn't figured out. Why did the children here become indifferent and quiet, as if they were gradually losing their humanity?
Is it the extraordinary power of the bells?
Who is secretly planning these things?
Is burying the children in the soil just to cultivate such a monster?
"Be careful of the bells."
Hasta reminded Maric to prevent him from being ambushed by the bells.
"Lecturer Folen, stand farther away with the lamp."
Hasta gave an order, then twisted his cane and pulled out a long sword from it.
Before coming to the workhouse, he went back home to get this special cane, and now the sword in the cane can finally come in handy.
Maric looked back curiously, and then focused all his attention on the monster across the corridor.
Perhaps because it was used to appearing at night, it was a little afraid of the dazzling fire and hesitated to pounce.
But after just a moment of hesitation, dozens of its heads opened their mouths and exhaled. The strong fishy smell accompanied by the cold wind blew along the corridor, suppressing the flames of the clothes.
"Don't wait for it to extinguish the flames!" Hasta reminded.
Maric understood, and the whole person leaned down slightly. His face and arms were covered with wolf hair, and his ten fingers turned into wolf claws. With a low roar, he took the initiative to kill the monster!
Hasta followed behind with the sword in the staff in one hand and the kerosene lamp in the other.
In the narrow corridor, Maric and the monster started a head-on fight, and Hasta waited for an opportunity to make up the knife on the side.
In the first confrontation, Maric relied on wisdom to dodge the moment the monster pounced, and at the same time, a claw scratched a bloody mark on the monster.
Hasta squatted down and took the opportunity to cut the monster's leg.
The sword in the staff was sharper than he expected, and just one sword almost cut the monster's bones!
The monster's front legs were injured, and its body shook for a while. It screamed, and the heads on its body also let out a mournful cry.
The mournful sound waves spread like ripples, and Hasta and Maric's minds were affected by the sound, and their ears were shaken.
For a moment, all kinds of strange feelings surged into their hearts, and the whole person began to be confused, sluggish, and unable to move.
"No sound is allowed here!"
Hasta bit his lips hard, and the pain of bleeding brought him a moment of clarity, and he forced himself to make this rule.
The mournful sound dissipated, and Hasta and Maric were able to recover from that strange state.
The monster also took advantage of the gap just now to escape a distance.
It shook its head and tried to shake the bell on its neck, but it couldn't make a sound.
Its eyes showed a trace of confusion, a little silly.
Maric would not give it a chance. Relying on the werewolf physique, he jumped directly over, and Hasta followed up, seizing the opportunity and stabbing twice.
Two blood holes were pierced through it. Although they were not big, the blood flowed and it was difficult to stop.
After being injured again, the monster seemed to understand that fighting in such a narrow corridor would not be conducive to its flexibility, so it turned around and fled the corridor area!
Hasta and Maric would naturally not let it escape like this.
Maric chased after it first, and Hasta told Lecturer Foren to return along the original route first, and followed with a kerosene lamp.
