The rusty iron door had no defensive power at all. The policeman who was responsible for knocking on the door only hit it twice before he staggered and fell in.
The room was filled with a stale smell, as if something was stuffed inside and was gradually fermenting and rotten, giving off a pungent and unpleasant smell.
After the iron door was opened, several bright lights immediately shone in, and the dazzling incandescent light illuminated the entire small interior.
A large dark round table, surrounded by several rotten wood chairs.
Apart from that there is nothing.
Officer Zhang stood at the door and looked around, frowning slightly: "Search!"
There is nothing inside. What is being searched must not be people, but secret passages or items left behind.
The priest held the thing wrapped in white cloth, walked forward, took a look at the clean room, and said: "This is just a temporary stronghold. They should have been prepared for the sacrifice as it is approaching."
Including the tables, chairs and walls, the entire room was pitch black, and there was a weird black sticky substance on the floor. The rotten smell was disgusting.
Officer Zhang frowned and said nothing. He walked forward and wiped the table, smearing some dark liquid on the dark tabletop.
Sticky substances stick to the gloves, and the odor is emitted by these substances.
Wherever those things have stayed, there will be this kind of petroleum-like black sticky substance. At least judging from this point, Qiuzi must not be deceiving her.
However, they have been lurking around here all night long, and if there is any movement, it is impossible for them not to be able to detect it.
Not even the shadow changes.
"Sir, there is no secret passage, and there are no other abnormalities." After searching the entire house, a policeman ran over to report the situation.
"I understand. You go out first and I'll take a look."
Officer Zhang waved them away, and after all the police officers left, the room suddenly became empty.
There was no sound of rain outside or howling of the wind. The night before dawn was extremely silent and extremely dark.
The strong light made the small bungalow extremely bright, shining like a small sun. The two people standing inside looked at each other with their backs to the light.
The priest raised his eyebrows and shook his head slightly.
He has always disapproved of taking risks. Those things can come and go freely in the dark, and their strength is even more powerful. If you really lock yourself in this room, it will be like trapping yourself in a cocoon!
Officer Zhang stared at him sharply and whispered: "Then what else can you do? Now we can't find the location of those people at all. The only clue is here."
The priest thought for a while: "How about throwing a person in first and letting him stay in the dark?"
If nothing happened to the policeman, they would do it again.
Officer Zhang's mouth twitched, his expression hesitated and struggled, and finally he gritted his teeth and refused: "No! They are all my brothers, I can't treat them as experimental subjects and send them to death!"
More importantly, the character may be destroyed!
"No, they are risking their lives for the safety of the people!" the priest said seriously.
"..."
Officer Zhang swallowed her saliva and had to say that she was a little moved.
After all, standing in this bare room couldn't solve the problem, and the priest was unwilling to accompany her to try, and she didn't want to be the pathfinder herself.
Finally, Officer Zhang turned his head and looked at a subordinate outside the door with unclear meaning.
…
…
It rained heavily all night.
But there is no fresh earthy smell in the woods, only an old and rotten smell, like the smell of sewers, and something thick, cold and dark flows in the ruins.
The messy and noisy murmurs sounded in my ears, trying to invade my mind and occupy my consciousness. The malice exuded made people unconsciously frightened.
My head felt a little swollen and my thoughts were a little irritable, but I didn't lose control.
Xu Shuo felt a little bored lying there, so he quietly opened his eyes and looked at the scene over there.
Here is an abandoned wall in the forest, like a building that has not yet been completed, with broken walls scattered everywhere and covered with moss.
He was lying on the damp ground, just in the corner of the wall, with a triangular stone slab above his head to shield him from last night's heavy rain.
But his body was still wet. Next to him were several young girls lying with their eyes closed tightly and their chests motionless. They seemed to have lost their life, but they were different from those Death Eaters.
Their skin looks much healthier than that of Death Eaters.
In the main hall of the ruins, several figures merged into the darkness, and only the outlines could be vaguely seen, forming a circle, holding their hands high, as if they were chanting something.
The murmur that Xu Shuo heard came from over there. The hoarse and sharp voice kept chattering in his mind, but he couldn't always hear clearly what it was talking about. It was so irritating that he wanted to go there.
Hack all these nagging people to death.
This will make it clean.
But not now.
So he could only stare over there.
The heavy rain suddenly stopped a moment ago. The dark clouds from last night faded away, and the sky turned white, with a faint hint of clear skies.
The group of singing people were particularly fascinated.
The darkness was extremely silent, with the smell of decay floating around, and a thick and slow breath blowing across the ruins.
After Xu Shuo stared in a daze for a while, his whole body suddenly began to sink downwards. The darkness around him enveloped him, as slowly as those sticky things, so slowly that it seemed as if time had stopped.
Gradually, the whole body of the girl in the corner sank into the ground unconsciously.
She just disappeared into the darkness quietly.
On a tree far away from the ruins, Xu Shuo emerged from the shadow under his feet. Looking at the few cultists who were still chanting there, he began to feel bored.
They didn't even notice his movement.
Is it because his own aura is no different from that of a Death Eater?
When Xue Na was eavesdropping at the scene, she was soon discovered by the other party's darkness.
That thing was not human at all. It blended into the darkness, as natural as human breathing, and would only bring a thick and depressing feeling to the surrounding air.
Just like when the thing in his body comes out to ask for it, you feel that it is touching you and caressing you, but in fact, it is just air when you touch it.
Everything comes from the consciousness in your own mind.
When it completely takes over your mind, that’s when you lose control.
Xu Shuo raised his hand, and the petroleum-like black liquid flowed from his fingertips, climbed over the pale blue-grey skin, and blended into the shadow under his feet.
At this time, a ray of light suddenly slanted from the eastern horizon, dim and gorgeous, dyeing the pink and white at the end with the color of clouds, and gradually spreading towards the dusk of the sky.
Sunrise.
The dim yellow light dissipated some of the darkness that filled the ruins, and the figures gradually became clearer. Wearing black cloaks, they stood by a pool like gods of death.
The thing they surrounded turned out to be a circular pool, but it was dry and there was nothing in it.
At this time, a cultist turned around and walked towards the girls lying neatly there.
