Killing America Terror Starts at a Fatal Turn

Salem Cemetery, night.

Tomb guard Ma Sen was hiding in the shadows, holding an M1911 in his hand, secretly observing the movements of the two tomb robbers.

Not far away, two slovenly-dressed thieves lifted up a coffin board, exposing the body of the deceased inside.

One of them shined a flashlight on the body.

The corpse was wearing a pure white dress, with a pocket watch wrapped around its hand, a handful of dry flowers, and a silver and black gemstone necklace on its chest. It looked like it was sleeping in a coffin.

The only thing was that her eye sockets were sunken deeply and her eyes had disappeared, like two dark holes in her face. The same goes for the nose, as if something had cut it off, leaving only a dark red hole.

"She is so beautiful."

"Indeed, she must have been a lady during her lifetime."

As the two tomb robbers spoke, they tore off all her pocket watches, necklaces, rings, earrings and other items, put them into loot bags, and prepared to find their next target.

Mason came out of the shadows and pointed his gun at the two men. The two tomb robbers immediately raised their hands to indicate that they were not in danger.

Ma Sen stretched out his hand and said, "Please, you two, please throw the bags over."

The tomb robbers looked at each other and helplessly threw the bag in their hands towards Mason.

Ma Sen took the bag with one hand, and the gun in the other hand was still pointed steadily at the two of them: "My name is Ma Sen. I manage this cemetery that was brutally stolen by you. Don't you plan to defend yourself?"

The two immediately begged for mercy without hesitation, "Spare us" and "We are too stupid."

Mason stared at the two people and taught these two ignorant gangsters, "Please allow me to enlighten your minds."

"Do you know that the foundation of human society is based on people's activities of burying the dead to show respect? The moment the grave was dug for the first time, we were no longer apes, which was a sign of the birth of human civilization. Once people Without respect for the dead, human civilization will collapse."

The two tomb robbers thought what Ma Sen said was nonsense, but he was holding a gun, so he was justified. They nodded repeatedly to show that we agreed and were deeply aware of their mistakes.

"Now, get out of here." Mason put down the gun in his hand.

"Aren't you going to hand us over to the police station?" one of the tomb robbers asked.

Mason said nothing, raised the gun above his head, and fired into the air as a warning.

There was a "bang" and fire came out of the muzzle of the gun.

The two tomb robbers were frightened and ran away quickly.

Mason watched them leave, turned around, looked at the dug grave, bent his legs, jumped down, and entered the grave.

He picked up the flashlight, put it under his arm, and said to the body lying in the coffin, "Let me take a good look at you."

After saying that, he opened the mouth of the corpse with both hands, looked to both sides, looked around the mouth, and found something.

"great."

He was so pleasantly surprised that he took out a pair of small pliers from his pocket, reached into the mouth of the corpse, took out a gold tooth from the depths, put it in front of his eyes, admired it and said, "It is indeed the foundation of human society."

The pliers were clamped on the cone at the bottom of the gold tooth, but their force was unstable. By accident, the gold tooth fell off and rolled directly into a deep hole in the coffin.

Mason took a flashlight to look at it and found nothing unusual, so he leaned down next to the body and put his hand in to explore.

In the middle, no.

To the left, no.

On the right, huh? Something, furry.

"hiss!!!"

Mason pulled his hand back in pain.

Damn, it’s a big rat! It bit him directly on the wrist and was brought out of the cave.

Mason picked up his pistol and fired the shot with a bang. The rat, covered in dirty blood and mud, looked back at him and followed the cave back underground.

He hurriedly bandaged his wounds and buried the grave hastily. Taking advantage of the darkness, he picked up the harvest and went to a casino stronghold of the Black Hawk Gang on the outskirts of Mialko District.

He owed a lot of gambling debt here, and he had to repay the interest regularly by robbing graves every month.

As for why the principal was not repaid.

He hasn't even repaid the interest for three months, let alone the principal.

Although the interest added up has already exceeded the principal several times, but who allows gangsters to have more guns and guns?

Once you get it, you will never be able to escape until it drains you dry.

Half an hour later, Ma Sen walked out of the gang gathering place with a helpless look.

He repeatedly emphasized to Abdul Taher, the gang leader, that it was not that he secretly hid all the dead people's property, but that the rats in the cemetery were too cunning and had been competing with him for fresh corpses, so he had been unable to do so in the past few months. It's not enough interest.

But Abdul looked at him with an expression like "Do you think I'm stupid?" and gave him an ultimatum - pay the debt within a week, otherwise he would be released. into the coffin and buried in the earth.

In desperation, he thought of the morgue.

Because of the corpses buried in the cemetery, he couldn't dig up the grave immediately, but the mouse could. So when fighting for corpses, he was always one step slower. If he wanted to be faster than the mice, he would go to the morgue and attack the corpses that had not yet been buried.

Relying on some "little things", the undertaker had been successfully "persuaded" by him long ago, and cooperated with him to complete such behavior countless times, and was even caught by the coroner.

The name of that "little thing" is "The Devil's Panacea". It is a trophy seized by the seniors of the Mason family when hunting down cult members. It has the ability to temporarily restore people to their youth.

The coroner refused at first. Last time, he was severely punished by the coroner for cooperating with Mason to steal the corpse's property. However, when Mason took out the "universal elixir", he still chose to compromise. .

For a man of his age, the taste of youth, even if it is short-lived, is worth the risk to help Ma Sen again.

Unfortunately, this time the corpses in the morgue were all poor, and none of them had gold teeth. Mason was about to return in vain when he suddenly found that the curtains were drawn in the morgue compartment. He took out the small pliers and tried to pull out the gold teeth in his mouth, regardless of his begging.

The two of them were chatting with each other when suddenly the door opened and footsteps were heard. Mason and the undertaker hurriedly hid behind a cabinet nearby.

Maria's classmate, the yellow-haired school bully Mark, and his mother walked in accompanied by the coroner. The rich man in the cubicle was Mark's father.

"He looked like he was alive, as if he was lying here taking a nap." Mark's mother glanced at the corpse with nostalgia, and said sadly: "Do what you should do, but please keep his appearance. When viewing the remains , I want him to wear the most beautiful attire, and I will pin the medal on his chest when the time comes, and he will hold his favorite antique sword in his hand."

Mark nodded sadly.

Hearing the word "antique", Ma Sen's eyes lit up when he was hiding in the dark. The opportunity to pay off the debt finally came. As long as he stole the body and took away the belongings on it before the mouse, he would be the winner. No more worrying all day long.

Mark and his mother looked at the remains for a while, and then the coroner sent them away. When he came back, Ma Sen had left, and the thin undertaker was busy next to the body.

The coroner called his men over and said casually: "The Phoenix Police Department sent out a notice asking if there have been any corpses that were attacked by rats in the recent period. You have been in the morgue the longest. Are there any?" Have you ever noticed anything like this?”

The embalmer thought for a while. Among the abnormally dead corpses he had handled recently, it seemed that there was only one beheaded one, and another one who had gouged out his eyes and mutilated himself, and used blood to paint himself like a clown. Speaking of rats, he had never encountered one before. been.

"No, at least not in the past six months." He answered firmly.

"It's fine if you don't. You call the Mialko District Police Station and tell them about it." The coroner looked around the morgue and found nothing he needed to do, so he turned and left.

It was naturally Luke who asked the police station to investigate the case of rat injuries. Although the investigators at the University of Michigan usually only brought one "friend" to investigate the case because they did not want to alert the authorities.

But Luke currently has no "friends" who can be used as consumables, and why not use the right to do so? Instead of letting the police participate in the investigation, he can let them provide clues.

For example, if you ask around the city where there are a large number of rats injuring people or even killing people, and where there are rat infestations that are difficult to solve, it will be no more convenient than digging into the sewers to investigate in a focused manner. ?

Luke's first stop was to the Trevina District Police Station. After seeing Amisha, he took out the blue Phoenix Police Department Senior Inspector ID and showed it off in front of her.

And immediately Luke regretted it.

As soon as he took back his little notebook, he heard a voice like a deep-seated woman: "Some people, after joining the special forces and becoming inspectors of the general bureau, no longer look down on our small district police station. Before, When I was a child, I wished I could live here every day, but now I have to do official business even to see my old friends. Hey, it’s really like a new generation replacing the old ones.”

What you said is similar to that of Mrs. Niu.

"I used to call her Little Tiantian when I watched the moon with me, but now the new person is better than the old one, and I call her Mrs. Niu."

This tone can't be said to be nearly the same, it can only be said to be exactly the same.

Luke was a little embarrassed. He had indeed not seen Amisha for some time. He looked at her resentful eyes. The last time they met alone, he went to hunt for treasures as a warehouse hunter. He also harvested a good treasure. They agreed to spend some time together. Let's go treasure hunting together, and then there will be no more.

Yeah, speaking of which, there is a prop that can be used to gain experience once a month that I haven’t used yet.

There were too many things going on during this period, and Luke was busy fighting and playing games, so he didn't care about the experience.

Thousands of times running through my mind, I looked like I was apologizing: "I've been really busy these days. You know me. Our university has just started and there are many club activities. If you don't participate, you'll look out of place. This No, I’ll come see you as soon as I have some time.”

Although the bullshit sounds unreliable, his attitude is still very sincere.

As a woman, what I want is not your explanation or your reasons. As long as your attitude is in place and your reasons are not too outrageous, that's fine.

Amisha nodded with satisfaction: "Do you have anything else to do later? Let's have dinner together tonight."

Luke quickly borrowed the donkey from Poxia and pretended to be greasy: "It is an honor for me to have dinner with the most beautiful woman in the Trevina Police Department."

Amisha put her index finger on his head and said angrily: "Okay, okay, stop being so glib, talk about something you have to say."

It's okay to be upset. Now if you let your anger out on these little things, you won't pursue other issues.

Luke's plan succeeds and he starts asking Amisha if she has any clues about the rat infestation.

Amisha thought for a while and said a little uncertainly: "There should be no such thing in recent years, at least not in Trevina District. You know, this is basically a wealthy area, and the environment is relatively clean and sanitary. There won't be any Regarding the situation of a large number of rats breeding, I think you should go to Mialko District and ask, if there is a situation, it should happen there."

After saying that, she seemed to suddenly remember something and said: "About a few decades ago, there was a sect that believed in evil gods in the local area. It was eliminated by the police because of its hunting of human sacrifices. I remember reading the relevant files. , just wait a moment, I’ll go look for it.”

She hurried out, and after a long time, she came back with a large number of paper files and handed them to Luke.

Luke flipped through it roughly and saw the old black and white photos. In the deep cellar, a humanoid statue with an octopus face and wings was sitting on the altar. Simply looking at the photos made people feel a strong sense of excitement. Discomfort.

He quickly asked Amisha: "Have you seen these photos?"

Amisha said nonchalantly: "Of course I have seen it, you are talking about the statue, it is really scary. I had nightmares for several days after watching it, but then I went to the church to pray once and my spirit recovered." Come on, Father Sean of Warner Road Church is really capable, but it’s a pity that he was recalled to the Papal States not long after, and I never saw him again.”

Ah, according to Amisha, the Catholic Church still has some restraint on Cthulhu?

However, considering that it is probably the number one religion in the world, it is normal to be able to fight it. I just don’t know why the country is closed off. Otherwise, maybe the public security in various places can be more stable.

After reading the dossier, Luke also roughly grasped the basic information about this cult mentioned by Amisha. He believed in Cthulhu, liked to keep rats in captivity, and hunted live humans for feeding. It was exactly the same as the clues the old professor provided to him.

Therefore, it is possible that this cult slipped through the crackdown during the crackdown, and then took advantage of the decades of neglect to grow secretly.

But this is normal. The Lighthouse Country is already rich in cults, not to mention actual evil gods. Even the Flying Spaghetti Cult. No, the Flying Spaghetti God has been licensed to become an official religion in Denmark and New Zealand. But not yet in the Lighthouse Country.

Put it this way, maybe the Lighthouse Country is chaotic in terms of religion, but it is not the worst.

In short, this shabby place is indeed the evil god's paradise.

Even for Luke, this is true.

After all, his "Cult of Flame and Crow" has also begun to penetrate into Phoenix City.

It was already getting late, and Luke planned to go to Mialko District tomorrow. Today, he would first appease Amisha's injured little heart, so that she would not look at him like a resentful woman who is alone in her boudoir. .

Under his sincere invitation, Amisha mercifully agreed to have dinner together. The two of them got on Amisha's wild horse and went to a slightly higher-end French restaurant for a candlelight dinner.
