Chapter 622: Morbid Crisis (XI)
Just when the atmosphere in the room became a little unnatural, suddenly, the door was pushed open, and the light of the flashlight shone in, dazzling Angela to cover her eyes with her arm.
Female agent Kayla walked in, and when she saw Angela and Constantine, she was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It seems that the power in this building has just been cut off. Are you okay?"
"We are fine." Angela's tone was a little unnatural, but Kayla walked in and said: "Are the clues you want to investigate also in this room? I searched the entire 4th floor, and only this room is left to investigate."
"Then you investigate first, let's go to other rooms," Constantine said, and then he took Angela away and came to the corridor. Angela shook his hand away and said: "What are you doing? I won't let that agent rummage around in my sister's room!"
Constantine stopped and looked at her Eyes said: "Have you forgotten? She said she was here to investigate the missing agent."
Angela took a deep breath and calmed down. She thought for a while and said: "If someone is conducting illegal experiments here and brewing a huge conspiracy, then in addition to the Soviet spies lurking in this organization, the missing agent that this female agent wants to find is likely to have also infiltrated this organization and was murdered by them."
"Now it is certain that my sister's death is inseparable from the group of people who conducted illegal experiments here. They are also the targets of my revenge. Even for the people of Metropolis, I can't let their conspiracy succeed." Angela said firmly.
"So, do you want to cooperate with that agent?" Constantine asked.
"That's right." Angela came to Constantine, looked into his eyes and said, "Now, our first task is to stop the conspiracy of this organization. We have a common enemy with her."
"Don't you want to deal with those demons?"
Angela looked back and said, "No matter what, the demons can't invade the city of Metropolis on a large scale now, but if the water source is polluted, many people will die in Metropolis."
After that, Angela turned back firmly, but suddenly, Constantine grabbed her arm. Angela paused and turned to look at him, but Constantine's eyes were not looking at Angela, but at the corridor in front of him. He said, "I smelled something unusual..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the entire corridor flashed and went out again. Angela was about to ask when she felt her arm being pulled hard and fell to the right. She saw a huge black shadow flying over her left side.
"Hellhound!" Constantine's voice sounded, and he said, "Damn it, why is it here? Go! Go! Go to the room with the magic circle!"
The two ran towards the room they had walked out of before, and Kayla was still a little confused when she saw the two people running back, but at this moment, the darkness condensed on the ceiling became thicker and thicker, as if it was about to drip down at any time.
Constantine lit a cluster of flames again, and by the light of the fire, Angela saw a terrifying dark figure descending, which should be the entity of the devil that Constantine mentioned.
This time, the monster can be seen without spiritual vision. Kayla took two steps back and said, "Damn, what the hell is this?!"
"This is a demon." Constantine explained, but then he said doubtfully, "But these are demons from the depths of hell. They shouldn't be here. And what's going on with that hellhound? Are they really going to invade Metropolis?"
Looking at the terrifying monster, Kayla took out the intercom and said, "There is a black monster in Anderson Mental Hospital, hurry! I need support! Repeat, it's a black demon, I need support!!"
"Don't shout! The FBI can't deal with this thing!" Constantine's eyes were fixed on the figure. The magic circle under his feet could no longer trap the demon that had become a physical entity. He could only rely on burning pages of the Bible to maintain the light in the room, because once the darkness swallowed them, this would be the demon's hunting ground.
"I didn't call the FBI!" Kayla's tone turned cold. Just as Constantine was about to retort, he heard a word that was not English from her mouth the next second:
"Sukabulie!"
Time went back a few dozen minutes. Just before the first demon invaded Isabel's room, Bruce and Lex had come to the basement of Anderson Mental Hospital.
After leaving Isabel's room, they went to the building on the other side and got the key to the basement. At the same time, they found a lot of clues in the staff dormitory, including the list of employees.
The list showed that the person in charge of this laboratory was a female researcher who graduated from Metropolitan University, named Eliza.
Bruce and Lex speculated that the man and woman they heard talking in the corridor before, the woman in the middle, might be the head of the laboratory, Eliza.
Other information they found showed that in addition to being the head of the laboratory, Eliza was also the initiator and researcher of all projects. In addition, there were three managers, all of whom lived in the underground laboratory and rarely appeared on the surface.
After understanding the personnel structure, Bruce knew who he should go to. After he and Lex successfully came to the underground, they went straight to the nearest laboratory, intending to find someone to ask for the information they wanted.
The researcher they caught was just a small fry, he knew nothing, but he did say a lot of information about the structure of the underground rooms.
This made Bruce and Lex understand that Eliza's office was in the deepest part of the underground, and going forward, there were monitoring equipment in all the passages. Once discovered, all the guards on the ground and the surface would gather.
Knowing this, Lex and Bruce knocked out another researcher, then took off their uniforms and put them on themselves. Bruce said to Lex: "You go into the laboratory and get as much data as possible from their laboratory. I will find Eliza and find out what they want to do."
Lex did not refuse such an arrangement, because he knew that what was needed next was not wisdom, but agility. He followed Bruce forward, and the final result was that he became a burden.
The two decided on the meeting place, and then began to act separately. Bruce began to avoid the camera and walked towards the deepest part of the laboratory.
But just when he was about to approach Eliza's office, the demon invasion upstairs began. When the demon came here, darkness enveloped the entire building, like a power outage, and Bruce's vision fell into darkness.
After he adapted to this darkness, he found that the camera's field of view was also blocked, so he took advantage of this time and rushed directly to Eliza's office.
In front of the door of the office, he heard a little movement, a bit like someone was sawing something, making a very strange "creaking" sound.
Bruce did not dare to act rashly. He walked lightly to the window and stood by the window. He looked inside. In the darkness, he only saw a figure with one foot on a stool and an iron saw in his hand, sawing something.
The darkness did not last too long. When the lights came back on, Bruce's pupils shrank suddenly, because he saw that the man in the room was sawing a person's head.
The man had his back to Bruce, so Bruce could only see that he was wearing a suit and holding a saw, but the person whose head he was sawing was facing Bruce. It was a woman with a distorted face, staring, mouth open, full of pain, and dying with eyes wide open.
The man in a suit was stepping on her chest, putting her neck on a stool, and then holding the saw with both hands, sawing back and forth on the spine.
With a "click", the woman's head was finally completely separated from her body. The man threw away the saw, then put the woman on the chair and began to fix her upper body with wire.
Bruce was very sure that this man was the murderer of the serial murder case, because the body that appeared in the room now also had no arms, and the wire used for fixing and the winding method were exactly the same as the previous bodies.
After fixing the body, the man turned the chair so that the body on the chair was facing away from him, then leaned over to pick up the head and put it on the body, but in reverse.
The direction of the head and the body was exactly 180 degrees different, the body was facing backwards, and the head was facing forward. From Bruce's perspective, he could just see the back of the woman and her face.
Standing in front of the window, Bruce finally understood what the theme of this serial murder case was.
The telescope represents farsighted eyes, the signal receiver represents extreme hearing, the mouse represents the food to be hunted, and the reversed head represents the greatest feature of a certain creature, that is, the head can be reversed 180 degrees.
"Owl..." Bruce muttered to himself, and he cast his eyes into the room again. He said: "... The other party's target is the owl."
Then, he squinted his eyes, because he saw that the other party was about to turn around. Just as Bruce stared at the man's figure, the second demon invasion upstairs began again, and the light bulbs in the corridor flashed twice and went out again.
In the last second before losing his sight, Bruce saw a face in the darkness. He was very familiar with the murderer's face, but also very unfamiliar. It was Schiller Rodriguez.
However, at this moment, the professor's face was pale, and his eyes were filled with a sickness that Bruce had never seen before.
