Mysterious Catastrophe

"Isabeth..."

With a pain in his heart, he continued to monitor.

At last, half an hour later, an old woman in shabby clothes emerged from the church, acting furtively.

William followed immediately.

As if sensing someone following her, the lady walked even faster.

William took a deep breath and began to trot.

"save……"

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Xiuge immediately wanted to shout.

But William directly showed the holster on his waist, causing Mrs. Huger's expression to change drastically.

"Don't be afraid, I'm Isabeth's friend, a... er... a detective!"

William took a few steps closer and said in a low voice, "Isabeth is missing, I want to find her."

He had borrowed this revolver from Manager Barkin after depositing two weeks' salary, and a detective was obviously more intimidating than a bartender.

The former walks in a gray area, and it is reasonable to carry firearms with him.

"Isabeth?"

Mrs. Xiuge covered her mouth: "She...she went to the countryside to get married."

"lie!"

With a pain in his heart, William immediately pulled out the revolver: "Follow me, don't try to call for help, otherwise you can see whether you run faster or my gun..."

In fact, William only had a surprise training on firearms this afternoon, but he still didn't have much problem hitting a close target.

And the lady's lies and fleeting panic immediately made William realize that the other party had something to do with Isabeth's death!

Chapter 267 In-depth

William is extraordinary.

This means that he has other richer options when it comes to extracting confessions.

The path he walked was the path of majoring in the 'Tower', and now only the first essence has been opened. He is a 'scholar', known as the 'Servant of Wisdom' in ancient times!

'Scholar' does not provide any strong physique or extraordinary ability, but only makes William's thinking more flexible and more focused when studying.

The enhanced learning ability enabled him to learn a lot of practical spells and rituals from Aaron.

After coercing Mrs. Xiuge into a remote alley, William only used some small tricks to make the other party enter a state of insanity.

"Tell me, is Isabeth still alive?"

William asked with his last hope.

"Dead..." Mrs. Huger replied blankly.

William almost pulled the trigger, took a deep breath, and continued to ask, "Why did she die?"

"Sacrificed to..."

Halfway through Mrs. Xiuge's words, her expression suddenly became painful: "I...I can't...I can't say that honorable name..."

"This kind of performance? Is she bound by other rituals and contracts?"

William's eyes shrank: "The honorable name...is it related to evil gods? There is indeed a problem with the Church of the Holy Spirit Church! Tell me, what is the problem with the church on Mary Street?"

"I... I can't say..."

Mrs. Xiuge's expression became extremely painful, and she suddenly came back from a state of confusion, grabbed her own neck, pinched her eyes until her eyes turned white.

"Do not……"

William quickly stopped, but found that the old woman's strength had become greater than imagined.

In the end, Mrs. Xiuge fell to the ground, showing a pious smile, spitting out black blood from her mouth: "I have already drunk that blood..."

Before she finished speaking, she tilted her head and couldn't breathe anymore.

William looked at Mrs. Huger's body, his expression gradually became numb.

He squatted down and searched Mrs. Hugh, only to find a few copper pennies.

The lady was dressed in shabby clothes and looked rather poor.

The only thing that is incongruous is that there is a pendant on the neck, which is a blood-colored figure, bound on a pitch-black thorn tree.

"what?"

The moment he saw the statue, William's inspiration was suddenly touched. He held the pendant in his hand and observed it carefully.

The black and red parts seem to form a contradictory yet unified combination.

Under the symmetry of black thorns and iron trees that can pierce the sky, the figure looks even more blood red.

He was wearing a simple cloth robe, with his arms open, as if he wanted to embrace the world, but his face was blurred.

William suddenly felt chills all over his body, as if he had been glanced at by something in the darkness, and his spirit was trembling.

"This...it...involves the evil god!"

He suddenly looked in the direction of the church: "That church has a big problem!"

The sensibility at this time made him rush into the church desperately, looking for hidden secrets, and avenging Isabeth.

But the cold reason was warning him that he was just a rookie, he couldn't participate in this kind of thing at all, and he didn't have the strength to avenge Isabeth.

William covered his face with his hands, and began to sob softly: "Isabeth... I'm sorry... I... I'm a coward, a coward... But I will anonymously report this matter to the Bureau of Investigation... You certainly won't Unexplainably dead."

Tread!

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps at the entrance of the alley.

"Who?"

William subconsciously pointed his gun at the other party, and saw a young man in a priest's robe walking slowly.

The other party was handsome, but at this moment, one after another black blood vessels were crawling and wriggling on his face...

Boom!

William subconsciously shot, but found that the moment the bullet passed through the opponent, the young priest suddenly turned into a black shadow.

"Not good! It's a phantom!"

William exclaimed in his heart, and felt a huge force coming from the side, hitting him against the wall, his internal organs seemed to be displaced, and the gun in his hand flew far away.

"Heh... so it's just a rookie, I thought it was a hyena from the Investigation Bureau."

Priest Im came out of the darkness, his eyes were cold: "Tell me...why are you investigating this matter?"

"I……"

William tried to swear a bad word, but he couldn't.

Just as he closed his eyes and waited to die, in the darkness, the fire exploded.

boom!

A louder gunshot tore through the dark tranquility.

Priest Im's body flew upside down like a broken sack.

"Did you see it? The rookie...should aim like this."

A figure with a double-barreled shotgun walked out of the darkness slowly, with a crazy smile on his face.

"Are you... 'Crazy' Carl?"

William said with difficulty.

"Hey...don't die, I've accepted the commission to bring you back alive."

Carl stepped forward, checked William, poured him a bottle of potion, and immediately carried him away.

The previous gunshots must have attracted attention, and it would be too late if he didn't leave.

……

Inside the Hunter Bar after closing.

Carl, who took the money, left happily.

Aaron turned to look at William, whose chest was wrapped in a white bandage and whose ribs were broken. He looked like a mummy: "So... what happened?"

"That church involves evil gods, and all believers have been contracted. I can't disclose the specific content...I only found this."

William took out the black and red pendant: "However, after the priest was killed, the Bureau of Investigation will definitely intervene, and the church will definitely be liquidated..."

"Fun gadget."

Aaron showed an interested smile on his face, playing with the pendant in his hand.

He didn't do divination rashly, after all, an 'evil god' was involved!

Although the image is not twelve years old, nor is it a hidden existence he knows, but it may be a mask and disguise.

"You stay here and rest."

Aaron gave orders, left the bar, and returned to No. 27, Phoenix Street.

In the bedroom, after arranging everything, he recited the honorable name, summoned the 'false spirit', possessed Eau Claire, and went to Mary Street Church.

"Although there was a shooting and another person was killed, the police station must be alerted...but there is still a time lag between when something is wrong and when it is reported to the investigation bureau, and the investigation bureau comes."

When Aaron came to Mary Street, he saw that the vicinity of the church had been designated as a warning area, and there were police officers patrolling.

But they couldn't see the evil spirit at all, so Aaron walked into the church and wandered around.

"There is a smell of corruption..."

Following his inspiration, Aaron passed through one wall after another, and suddenly came to a secret room.

In the center of the secret room, there were traces of a burning fire, and a scorched mummy was bound on a dark and mottled iron pillar.

This is an evil altar!

And this dark and thin mummy gave Aaron a familiar feeling.

"Isabeth..."

Chapter 268 Clues

"This style of burning people and offering sacrifices at every turn seems familiar..."

Aaron looked around and felt that this secret room should often have evil believers gathering, praying, and offering sacrifices... making the surrounding environment produce a subtle sense of depravity.

On the front of the secret room, in the direction facing the altar, there is a strange statue.

On the pitch-black thorn tree, hung a blood-colored figure.

Its face is blurred, its arms are outstretched, as if to embrace everything.

"In the Church of the Holy Spirit, why do things always go wrong?"

"But the statue gave me a clearer feeling...it seems...not that strong, not to mention Si Sui, not even a hidden existence...not even the strength to arouse my 'danger premonition'."

Aaron came to Isabet's mummified body. Just to be on the safe side, he still used Isabet as the element of divination: "Her last experience!"

"Her last experience!"

"Her last experience!"

……

At this time, Aaron directly used the evil spirit as the carrier, which is equivalent to the divination of the Extraordinary of the fourth essence, and obtained more information.

The overlapping of light and shadow made him seem to have returned to the history of this secret room.

Dimly, he saw a gathering of believers, led by a young priest, praying to the black and red statue.

"We all drank His blood, we are all sisters and brothers."

"The Lord will give us the key to open the door of spirituality."
