Chapter 484 After a Full Meal (Add 3 to the Leader's Tail Number 9483!)
"Huh~huh"
In the dark crypt, several figures are crawling through the narrow passages, everyone's breathing is heavy and short, whether they are men or women, old or young, their bodies are covered in blood, and unspeakable filth sticks to them .
They all seemed to have lost the courage to speak, but relying on their survival instincts, they followed a crippled boy at the front and crawled forward.
Macaulay is their "temporary leader".
If the people from the Mercer Police Department were here, they would definitely not be able to believe that that clever and lovable young man would be in such a mess.
Since Macaulay took over Tang Qi's position as "police consultant", with the help of the means Tang Qi left him and the secret medicines he took, he has already possessed extraordinary powers, coupled with his keen observation skills, The alertness brought about by hanging out on the streets all year round.
To some extent, it will not be much worse than Tang Qi.
It should be noted that Tang Qi is cheating no matter where he is a consultant or a polymath.
Macaulay, on the other hand, cooperated with Gideon and others to solve many mysterious incidents, and the few cases beyond his ability were reported to the Castle Bureau for high-level extraordinary agents to come and solve them.
In the darkness, while crawling forward, McCully reported his current situation to Tang Qi with the help of the faintly hot "Sun Badge" on his chest.
"Recently, there have been frequent disappearances of homeless people, prostitutes or some travelers in Meser City and surrounding cities and counties."
"Because these people are loners, coupled with professional relationships, by the time the police station and partner agencies discovered something was wrong, the number of missing people had climbed to a hundred or even more."
"Both Gideon and I believe that to complete such a huge workload, it is impossible for a single person or even several people to cooperate. At least one medium-sized organization is hidden in the dark."
"Soon we set up traps and caught a gang of three, two of them committed suicide, and I caught the third with the help of a strange object, but that person was immune to some truth potions, so I had to use the memory to read the strange object, pry Opened his head."
...
"Holy Guidance Order? Believe in a foreign evil god called 'Gaffaro', and believe that the Lord of Light is dead, and the world needs a new belief, which represents the new god of fraternity and light, Gaffaro, and their responsibility, It is to unite the companions chosen by the gods, guide the confused world, and convert to the embrace of the gods."
"Everyone captured by the sect has been put into a trial called 'Road to the Blood Cave', and those who survive the trial can become part of the sect."
"You were deliberately arrested in order to participate in the trial, and now you are bringing a few survivors to continue to survive?"
Tang Qi pinched the "Sun Badge" and frowned slightly.
They didn't seem to have expected that such a cult organization would suddenly appear around Meser City just after leaving for a while.
Judging from McCarley's description, the so-called "new god" believed by the "Holy Guidance Order" should be just a bloodthirsty evil god, and it doesn't have too much power, otherwise it won't let your own Believers adopt this developmental style that is both obscene and clunky.
"Catch people with low physical fitness, conduct some kind of cruel trial, and screen out available believers... Either the trial has some unknown factors, or it proves that the sect has no ability to pollute and brainwash a large number of human beings. Wonders or witchcraft."
"Furthermore, choosing a small, remote and chaotic city like Mercer City also shows that the religious order is a bit weak for the time being, and they dare not enter a metropolis like Mihuang City."
"In addition to the so-called 'Road to the Blood Cave' trial, there are not many traces of the extraordinary..."
In Tang Qi's mind, the so-called trial content reported by Macaulay continued to emerge.
As a former "beggar", Macaulay played the role of a homeless person very easily. In just a few days, he successfully deceived the organization and was taken away from the dirty street together with a dozen other people.
Afterwards, they were thrown into an extremely dark burrow together with dozens of people captured from other cities and counties.
No food or water was distributed.
Just let them escape, only those who crawl out from the other side of the burrow can survive.
Immediately, the religious order released a "bloodthirsty monster", which had a human form, but had no eyes and an extremely sensitive nose. They would capture all the humans in the cave and treat them as "food".
The total number of monsters did not exceed twenty, and within a very short period of time, more than half of the people in the trial were eaten up.
The rest fled in all directions in the cave.
Macaulay used a kind of strange thing, took away all the extraordinary power, just showed a flexible physical quality, and not low wisdom.
Leading several people, fighting against monsters, and successfully killing several monsters that they called "bloodthirsty".
But this process is about to exhaust their physical strength.
Without food and water, ordinary humans cannot keep moving all the time.
And because they don't know whether the bloodthirsty person's flesh is polluted and highly poisonous, they dare not eat it.
"Sir, according to the information pried out from the heads of members of the cult, as long as you pass through this dark and narrow passage, you can enter the last level, which they call the 'satiating' level. After passing through, you can become a Full member of the order."
In the dark passage, Macaulay panted and reported the information to Tang Qi at the other end of the badge.
"Satisfied?"
When Tang Qi heard these two words, he chewed for a moment, as if he had guessed something, his face froze, and no surprise he lost his appetite for the delicious breakfast in front of him.
At this time, through the "Sun Emblem", Tang Qi sensed that Macaulay had led five people out of the narrow passage.
Except for Macaulay, the remaining five survivors are three women and two men.
The three women, judging from the revealing clothes and heavy makeup that have been spent, should be prostitutes by profession.
Two adult males, their bodies intact, but their clothes are dirty and old, presumably they are professional beggars.
"Macauley, let's... vomit"
"vomit~vomit"
As soon as they got out of the tunnel, they were about to ask the temporary leader where the boy named "Macauley" should flee next, when a strong, warm, and unimaginable smell suddenly entered their nostrils.
Although after entering the burrow, he never ate.
But they still had the food from a few days ago in their stomachs, and they vomited cleanly at this time.
Still unable to stop, the sour bile was also vomited out.
When their sense of smell gradually became paralyzed, they finally got up their courage and looked at the indescribable "source of smell", including Macaulay, who fell into a daze at the same time.
I saw a "hill" in front of me.
It was piled up, consisting of hundreds, or even thousands of mutilated human corpses. The strong sunlight shone through the gap above the crypt, but this could not stop the "fermentation" of the corpses, rotting flesh and blood Viscous corpse fluid was formed, which gradually flowed down from the top, forming "small streams".
Around the corpse mountain, there are nine passages similar to "dog holes".
At this time, besides the six Macaulays, there were seven other people who crawled out from different passages.
Then at the same moment he vomited and fell into horror.
Next, they either panicked, or were outright scared, or yelled hysterically.
"Sir, I think I know what the so-called 'Family is when you are full'."
Inside the badge, Macaulay's words came.
