Mystery: The Stars Returner

咣 咣 咣!

The living corpses picked up stones and followed them along the edge of the cave, smashing the nearby stone walls one after another. The nauseating smell became stronger and stronger.

Hasta was a little better, but his face was ugly. Lecturer Foulun couldn't hold on anymore and was retching while holding on to a stone wall.

"Does it smell like corpses?"

"Yeah, and it takes a lot of corpses to create such a strong smell."

Maric gave an affirmative answer. According to his estimate, there were at least dozens of corpses inside, maybe close to hundreds.

He couldn't imagine what kind of things could be born in such a place.

"Within your limited knowledge of mysticism, do you have any relevant knowledge about burying people in the soil to nourish them?"

"..."

Maric glanced at Hasta speechlessly, not forgetting to insult himself in this situation. It seemed that his mentality was quite good.

"Things related to earth are generally only earth pathways. Such bloody massacres and piles of corpses are more in line with the behavior of demons." Maric said, his pupils dilated.

demon?

Could everything here be caused by demons?

Hastur did not speak. He also thought about the devil. The abyss path was undoubtedly the most bloody and cruel extraordinary path.

Extraordinaries on this path are essentially different from normal human species.

Whether they are playing daily roles or being promoted to high-level sequences, they are required to exterminate humanity and pave their own extraordinary path with blood and cruelty.

"Devils often use fresh life to perform sacrificial rituals to gain extraordinary power from the Lord they worship. If the situation goes bad, you two should be careful."

Maric gave a serious warning before leading the two living corpses into the cave. Hastur and Lecturer Foren followed behind with lamps, leaving one living corpse to guard the entrance.

Entering the cave, passing through a narrow corridor about ten meters long, you arrived at a relatively spacious secret room.

Click, click...

People walked across the ground, and from time to time there was the sound of bones breaking. Lecturer Foulun's face turned pale, the soles of his feet were numb, and he did not dare to lower his head to look at the ground.

This is not so much a secret room as a large burial pit.

Maric took the kerosene lamp from Lecturer Foulun's hand and looked around with a wary face.

The soil here is very loose and there are many oral burial pits on the ground.

Maric tried to let the living corpses open a few burial pits, but they were not buried deep. Inside were white skeletons with their heads severed or missing.

Judging from the size and shape of the skeleton, they should all be children under the age of fourteen.

Hastur and Lecturer Foulun both thought of what Professor Wayne said before, that there were people burying children in the soil in the workhouse.

This is where children are buried!

I scanned around and made a rough estimate: there are at least seventy or eighty children buried here!

Compared with the corpses that convicted Dean Dahn before, there is simply no comparison with this place.

Lecturer Foulun suddenly said: "Fifty meters further from here, is it right below the workhouse cemetery?"

During the day, he followed several police officers to search the workhouse and also passed the area near the bell tower. What impressed him most was the cemetery not far from the bell tower.

Maric stopped and asked in surprise: "You mean someone moved the corpses in the cemetery here to bury them?"

"If the distance is not far." As Lecturer Foulun spoke, he suddenly felt a chill in his body. He couldn't help but get closer to Hasta, and reached out to hold the wall of the kerosene lamp. The warm feeling made him panic in his heart. Relieved a lot.

Hasta secretly rubbed his fingers, opened his spiritual vision, and after scanning a few times, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "Maric, with so many corpses usually gathering together, shouldn't their spirits after death also stay here? ?”

"The church has specialized personnel to deal with this problem. Generally, there will be no undead after death."

"What if there are no church personnel to handle it?"

"Then there will definitely be..."

Maric's expression changed suddenly, he held the oil lamp and quickly approached Hastur and Lecturer Foren, while keeping the two living corpses on guard.

Coming to Hastur's side, he lowered his voice and said, "Their spirits after death were eaten by something!"

Devil's sacrifice!

Maric is now certain of this!

In this dark environment, there might be something staring at them from the dark.

"Leave here first, and dig directly from the cemetery tomorrow to bring in the sun."

Hasta's face was also solemn, and he walked towards the entrance while protecting Lecturer Foulun.

At this time, a bell sounded in the depths of darkness.

Jingle Bell!

Jingle Bell!

The sound is very urgent, and it is getting closer!

呲!

Something seemed to be opening its mouth in the darkness, exposing its fangs.

boom!

The living corpse responsible for guarding the front was hit by a huge force and was sent flying and hit the wall!

"Come on! It's coming!"

Maric gave a low shout and asked Hastur and Lecturer Folan to leave here quickly.

They quickly entered the narrow corridor and gradually approached the entrance under the dim light.

boom!

Another dull voice sounded in the darkness.

This time, Maric used the kerosene lamp in his hand to vaguely see what the thing looked like.

"grass!"

Maric's face turned blue and he swore a curse word. Hasta didn't hear the specific words.

They quickly passed through the ten-meter corridor. Lecturer Foulun walked out of the entrance and glanced at the living corpse still guarding here, and his nervousness relaxed a little.

"Take off your top! Give it to me!"

Hastur opened his mouth, and Lecturer Foulun immediately obeyed, taking off his shirt and handing it to Hastur.

I saw Hastur smashing the wall of the kerosene lamp and setting fire to the jacket worth 1 gold pound and 4 soli.

The blazing flames ignited, and Hastur waited for Maric to exit, then threw him into the corridor.

The fire was bright, illuminating the short corridor and clearly illuminating the things that had been following.

Heads, vivid and immature heads, they are integrated into the head, back, and body of a creature like a panther.

This creature is covered with black hair, is about two meters tall, and is about three meters long. At this moment, it is showing its gleaming fangs, and saliva is dripping from the corners of its mouth.

Around the neck of this creature was a string of bells with a dark yellow luster.

The jingling sound just now came from this bell.

Hastur recognized two of the heads, one named Amy and the other named Simon.

This was the last time they came to the workhouse, when they caught two children ringing bells one after another in the middle of the night!

I didn’t expect that they were already dead and turned into such terrifying monsters!

Now, many problems can be explained.

The bells with truly extraordinary power are the string hanging from the monster's neck.
