Chapter 420 The Moving Statue
Early 1915.
Due to the zeppelin bombing in London, Erin and her husband took refuge in a city and stayed in an unknown hotel.
Strange things happened in this hotel. Passengers disappeared one by one. Everyone fell into a great panic. Some people thought that they had offended God, and some people thought that the hotel was occupied by demons.
Just when everyone was panicking and wary of being the next person to disappear, another man appeared in the hotel.
No one knew when this man came in, just like those who disappeared mysteriously, he seemed to appear suddenly, without any warning at all.
When asked by everyone, the man said that his name was John Constantine, and he was a Christian who was not a devout Christian.
But when asked how he got in, Constantine's answer was disappointing.
He said that he didn't know what was going on. Originally, he was investigating an incident about demons, and he followed the traces all the way to the outside of the hotel, but when he came in, he found that something was wrong. The time and space here seemed to be affected by some kind of force. twisted.
The clues are broken again here.
So the surviving people in the hotel fell into panic again, and even tried to destroy this terrifying building that "can eat people" through arson, smashing, and various violent means.
But unfortunately...
No matter how they destroyed the building, the things that disappeared or were damaged inside would return to the way they were before at twelve o'clock in the morning.
And the only things that haven't changed are those who disappeared.
As a trapped crowd, Constantine, the only one who has mysterious means, is a self-proclaimed exorcist. He tried to use magic to force through this building to communicate with the outside world, but unfortunately, this building seems to be a powerful Magic isolates the same.
No matter how Constantine called, the spell never responded.
Even the high-level incantations used for the 'advent method' were invalid, and neither angels nor demons responded at all. It was as if it had been abandoned by the gods, completely isolated in an unknown realm!
During the time that Constantine tried, the number of people trapped was still decreasing one by one.
Everyone was in a state of extreme tension. They didn't know what it was, and they swallowed everyone in the dark, and Irene's husband was unfortunately involved and became one of the missing.
Negative emotions such as collapse, fear, despair, etc., spread in everyone's hearts.
Soon, at Constantine's suggestion, everyone sat in a room to ensure that everyone looked after each other. Even if they suddenly disappeared, the "murderer" could be found. This strategy quickly passed everyone.
There were only a dozen people left in Irene, staying together in a certain room.
Everyone stared nervously at each other, fearing that in the blink of an eye, someone would disappear from their sight.
This method really worked, and for the next two days, no one disappeared again.
Just when everyone thought it was safe, the accident happened again, and the accident that happened this time also allowed them to find the real 'murderer' who made people disappear!
According to Irene's description, everyone gathered in the luxury suite on the top floor at that time, because only the living room here was large enough to accommodate more than a dozen people at the same time, and the light of the crystal lamp overhead brightened the whole living room.
After two days and two nights without sleep, everyone felt very tired, and their eyelids were as heavy as lead. Many people even resorted to self-mutilation.
to force yourself to stay awake and not sleep.
Just when everyone was drowsy, the crystal lamp above his head seemed to be in poor contact, and suddenly flickered several times in succession, and then the room was completely plunged into darkness, almost invisible.
Constantine yelled to stay still, then took out the zipo and lit the fire.
At the moment when the faint flame lit up, a thing that had never been seen before came out. At this time, everyone's eyes widened, it felt like falling into an ice cellar, and fear rushed to the forehead with the shivering chill!
What they saw was not a monster, but a statue!
It was the angel statue that had been standing at the door of the hotel, covering its face and crying, but at this moment, the angel statue put down its hands and showed a hideous and abominable face. I don't know when it suddenly appeared behind one of them, with two arms in a ring. He hugged the man.
The statue was so vividly portrayed that it was almost like a living thing.
Especially the terrifyingly twisted face of the angel, the protruding fangs in the mouth, and the evil aura emanating from it, made everyone present feel an inexplicable fear. This statue is not so much a Angel, it would be more appropriate to say that it is a devil!
But then, something even more terrifying happened!
A sudden gust of evil wind blew out the flame ignited by the zipo, the originally weak light disappeared, and everyone fell into darkness again.
When Constantine lit the zipo again, everyone was horrified to find that the man had disappeared, and only the hideous statue of the angel remained.
Now, everyone understands what's going on!
The reason why the hotel disappeared one after another was because of this evil and terrifying angel statue!
But what happened next made everyone fall into deeper despair, because this angel statue could not be destroyed.
Even if they destroyed the statue, the statue would be restored at twelve o'clock in the morning. They tried everything and came to the conclusion that the angel statue could not be destroyed.
With the disappearance of the other two, everyone discovered another important piece of information.
That is, as long as they look away, even for a microsecond, the statue will instantly move behind someone, and if they look away again, the statue will make that person disappear completely.
In other words, they have to keep their eyes on the angel statue at all times!
As long as someone blinks or turns their head at the same time to take their eyes away from the angel statue, the angel statue can move at an unreasonable speed and make someone disappear completely in that instant!
No one knows what this angel statue is, but everyone deeply understands its horror!
And after devouring so many people, this angel statue already has the ability to affect the material world, such as forcibly controlling the line to cause a power outage, and then taking someone's life in a moment of darkness.
"hiss--"
Tony and Potts gasped, feeling the chills on their backs stand up.
Through Irene's vivid words, the two felt as if they were on the scene. They realized their desperate mood at the time, and hurriedly turned to the next page, wanting to see what was going on. Irene How to escape this danger.
Turning to the next page, things really turned around!
Just as everyone was at a loss, another person appeared in the hotel.
This is a girl of about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with soft blonde hair tied into a ponytail, emerald green eyes as perfect as gems, and a face as holy as an angel, which impresses everyone present. profound.
But what makes people strange is that this girl is not dressed in a common European dress.
It was a silk dress, all black, the upper part of which was similar to an oriental style, with long sleeves and wide cuffs, a V-shaped neckline, lined with a white bottom shirt, and the lower part of very wide trousers with a waist A long knife is slung over the white lace.
The girl calls herself...the Grim Reaper!
