Underground cult residence in Salem Cemetery.
Luke looked through the mirror at the alienated crow.
[Dread Crow] (Evil God Infection)

[Alienated Flesh]: Cthulhu infection causes crow's body to become distorted and greatly enhances its physical strength.
Damn you! Luke cursed secretly, this crow betrayed me, took the money and ran away, using my fear to work for the enemy.
He clearly felt that part of his original fear disappeared directly, but did not return directly like the crow died before.
In other words, there are only 29 crows left that he can control currently (excluding Harpie).
The deformed crow emitted a mournful cry, which affected its old companions, and its tentacles shot out towards other crows.
Come and poach! It is tolerable, but what is unbearable!
Luke mobilized extraordinary energy with his mental power, and a blazing laser shot out from the mirror instantly, landing right in the middle of the crow's chest, blowing it into pieces with one blow. Worried about other contaminations on its corpse, he summoned vigorous flames to cover it, and would not stop until the blood was dried and the bones and flesh were roasted to ashes.
He took another fearful look at the statue, and withdrew all the crows, leaving only a few mirrors. Then several basketball-sized fireballs flew out of the mirrors and landed directly on the weird statue of Cthulhu.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
The flames generated by the violent explosion completely engulfed it. When the fire light dissipated, the statue had been torn into pieces and lost its original weird charm. Luke used his identification ability to observe again, but he did not get any feedback. It seemed that it had been destroyed. .
After all the crows flew out, Luke kindly used his telekinesis to close the empty coffin, shovel up the soil, and restore it to its original state.
Looking at the picture of the poor man on the tombstone, Luke sighed, "Although I don't know who you are, I have killed all those who stole your body. I hope you can rest in peace."
He used his spiritual power to pick two wild flowers from the side, placed them in front of the tombstone, and turned around to leave.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and Luke was a little hungry, so he just found a restaurant in the Mialko district to eat.
He walked out of the hotel and towards the parking lot. Halfway there, Luke felt a little confused.
Why? Where is my car?
Why is there a separate car parked in the parking space?
It's also a Ford, with the same license plate number as me.
Oh, it's my car, it's just a lot newer.
Did a magic elf wash my car for me?
As soon as I reached the car, several dirty children came out.
There was a slightly older man who looked to be about eight or nine years old. He stood at the front and said sternly, "Your car is very dirty. We cleaned it for you. You have to pay me."
Looking at this kid who was still wandering around when he was still in elementary school, and the younger kids behind him, Luke felt a little sympathetic.
Although he does not have the great ideal of protecting the poor people in the world and making them happy, it is still okay to help the suffering people around him. Moreover, although these little carrots are young, their craftsmanship is not bad, and his car is polished and new. Bright.
Luke took out a few hundred-dollar bills from his pocket, thought about it, and took out some change. He handed them all to the leading child and asked, "Are you together? Why are you wandering around at such a young age?" , where are your parents?"
The child took the money and said somewhat nonchalantly: "We are all unwanted children by our parents. My father ran away when I was born. My mother took me to seven years old and fell in love with another man without informing me." I left immediately."
"The two of them are about the same as me." He pointed to the two younger children behind him. "The one was worse off than me. His mother died when he was five years old."
"These two ran away from home yesterday and just followed me." He nodded and looked at the end of the line, a man and a woman, two children holding hands tightly. "Their father came home after drinking. Beat them until they can’t bear the beating anymore, so they run out.”
Luke was furious when he heard this and asked: "Where is their mother? Where is the Children's Protection Society?"
"Mom?" The child's head sneered, speaking like an adult, "She would rather watch two more boring soap operas than look at her own child."
"As for the Children's Protective Association, where do you think this is? In the poorest and most chaotic area of Phoenix, no association would set its sights here."
Xiao Douding, who was at the end of the team, pulled his brother to the front and said seriously: "That's right, when dad beat me, mom was eating without even looking at me. My brother stopped him, and then we were both beaten together. , my brother took me and ran out. Fortunately, brother Andrew took us in and took us to work together, and we shared everything we had to eat."
Looking at Little Douding who was explaining seriously, Luke smiled and touched her head, took out another banknote, stuffed it into her hand, and said, "I understand, your brother and Brother Andrew are both good people."
He wanted to help these children, but there was a limit to what he could do.
It's not that my ability is limited, but it seems that the only way to help them is to give them some money, and other ways to completely help them get out of their predicament are too cumbersome and troublesome.
Luke was ashamed to find that his moral standards seemed to be average. Although he was full of sympathy in his heart now, if he was really required to take responsibility to the end and control these little doggies, his resistance to the trouble would quickly return. Overwhelmed that little bit of cheap sympathy.
Under the condemnation of his moral sense and the selfish resistance of his nature, he suddenly didn't want to talk to these children. He took out another banknote from his pocket and was about to hand it to Andrew and turn around to leave. Suddenly he seemed to remember something. He leaned in through the car window, found a pen, and wrote his phone number on it, "If you are bullied by gang members, or have any other problems that cannot be solved, maybe you can call me."
After that, he handed the note to Andrew and drove away as if he was running away without waiting for him to ask anything.
Xiaodouding Jeanna looked at the car that was getting away and said: "He is really a weirdo."
Andrew looked at the note with the phone number written on it seriously, put it in his arms, and nodded, "But he is also a good person."
After saying that, he turned around and said to the five or six little beans behind him: "We are prosperous today! Let's eat fried chicken!"
"Great!"
In front of the fried chicken, a strange stranger was not that important. The children did not think about it and only felt happy. The money Luke gave them this time was enough for them to live frugally for a month.
As the night got darker, the children who had finished eating the fried chicken first came to the edge of the Trevina district. There were too many poor people and too many gang members in the Mialco district, so it was basically difficult for the children to get money and water, and they might even be killed. The low-level gangsters robbed people, and only when they went to places with many wealthy people like Trevina District, could they often meet kind-hearted people like Luke.
They then began to act separately. Some went to the dessert shop to ask the salesperson for bread that was about to be thrown away, some went to a late-night restaurant to continue cleaning the car, and Jeanne and her brother Hervé went to the trash can to pick up bottles together.
Not long after they walked onto the road, Joseph, who was returning home from get off work, passed by and saw them.
In late September, the weather in Phoenix is already a bit cool, especially at night. Even adults need to wear a coat. But the two children were still wearing summer short T-shirts, which looked dirty, as if they hadn't been washed for half a month.
If it were in the past, he would probably only take a quick glance and leave directly, but it seems that since he started losing his hair and shaved his hair himself, he seems to have put himself in the shoes of the people he laughed at in the past. After he was almost killed by "Gluttony", his personality unexpectedly changed 180 degrees. It felt like he was atoneing for his past actions, from a violent redneck to a gentle bald man. .
Seeing the two children, he parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car and asked, "Where are your parents? Why are you wandering on the street late at night?"
When Hervé saw this man in police uniform, he felt a little scared. He held his sister's hand tightly and stared at him without saying a word.
Joseph knelt down and asked for a long time. Herway was worried that he would send him home, and he still refused to tell him his parents' information and home address.
Looking at the two brothers and sisters shivering in the autumn wind, Joseph sighed and said: "You two brothers and sisters are too young. It is really dangerous to wander on the street like this. Even a wild dog may threaten your lives. Since you don’t want to go home, how about I send you to a children’s welfare home?”
Seeing that the two of them were still looking at him timidly and warily, he smiled as friendly as possible and touched Jeanne's head.
Jeanne trembled nervously, feeling the kindness of the bald man in front of her, and did not immediately retreat behind her brother.
Joseph continued: "The conditions in the children's welfare home are very good. At least you and your sister have a place to sleep, have food to eat, and don't have to be bullied by older children on the street."
When Hervé heard what he said, he looked back at his five-year-old sister, then stared at Joseph's eyes seriously, looking at his kind look, imitating the look of his alcoholic father, and acting like he was not to be messed with. Said: "If you lie to me, I won't make it easy for you!"
Seeing this little boy trying to show his "ferociousness" and trying to protect himself and his sister, Joseph assured him with a serious face: "I promise, what I said is true. You only need to go and take a look and you will find the truth. "
The wariness on Hervé's face gradually dissipated, and Jeanne's eyes also brightened. Having food to eat and a place to live would be paradise for them. If the bald man in front of them looked like a pretty good person, it would be heaven. What they said is true, maybe they can also call Brother Andrew and the others over.
Joseph opened the car door, and Herve pulled Jeanna into the car. Soon, they came to a children's welfare home called "God's Grace".
This orphanage has a good reputation in the Trevina District. It seems to have the support of many kind-hearted donors. It is not like other orphanages that overly consider the balance of payments, set some thresholds for accepting children, and even make some profits. The sex welfare home only accepts well-behaved, sensible and beautiful children, sells them to wealthy people who have money but lack offspring, and collects adoption fees to gain a lot of wealth.
This orphanage truly accepts all comers. Children can receive the most basic living security here. Even children who have no one to adopt them will not be sent away until they are sixteen years old.
Sure enough, after Joseph came to the door with his two children and explained the situation, the management of the orphanage readily agreed to accept the two children without even asking about their origins.
According to the convention of the orphanage, boys and girls have to sleep separately, but Hervé refused to be separated from his sister no matter what. Jeanne also wanted to be with her brother no matter what, even if she had to leave the orphanage, she would not let go of her brother. hand. After much persuasion, the staff finally made an exception and arranged a small windowless room for the two of them.
Seeing the brothers and sisters settling down, Joseph left with peace of mind.
The next day, the weekend.
Luke declined Maria's invitation to play the game, drove a brand new Ford Fiesta to the Trevina District Police Station, and went to find Amisha again, asking her to accompany him to look through the files on the cult case a long time ago. Two more related cases were actually discovered in remote corners.
In one case, the husband reported to the police that his wife was a cult believer and sacrificed his two-year-old child to the so-called god. What he brought home was only a skull the size of a fist. He killed his wife in anger and then surrendered to the police. .
In another case, passers-by called the police and found several young corpses that had been chewed into bones in the sewer. After investigation, the bones were generally between 10 and 12 years old, and the bones were full of traces of being eaten by rodents. .
After investigation, it was discovered that both cases were committed by the Cthulhu sect, which once had a profound influence in Phoenix City. It unscrupulously targeted children and performed sacrifices to evil gods. This was one of the reasons why the officials at that time were determined to eradicate them.
Amisha and Luke each took a file and checked it carefully. She suddenly asked: "I see that you have been chasing clues about this evil sect. Have they revived and begun activities?"
Luke reminded: "I got some clues in other places. The stronghold of this cult is likely to be in the Trevina area. If you find anyone acting suspiciously, be careful not to touch unknown statues indiscriminately. Those with deformed bodies, especially those with strange tentacles, don’t hesitate to empty their magazines and run away.”
After saying that, he was still a little worried, so he took out a charm he carried with him and handed it to Amisha: "This is the Gabbiadini shield that someone gave me before. It can be taken out when attacked. It has a certain resistance to most extraordinary means, and can be activated automatically when encountering fatal danger."
He has owned this shield charm for a long time, but has never put it to any use. With the recent enhancement of his fire ability, a lava shield is enough for his own protection, so he might as well give it to Amisha.
Amisha looked at the talisman and asked, "Do you have any other means of defense?"
Luke nodded, "Of course."
Amisha took it over politely.
Gifts from friends are a matter of life and death. With their relationship, there is no need to make false concessions several times.
