Chapter 992 Beware of the Devil
On the second floor.
Lieutenant Max finally waited for the personnel from the Church of Evernight.
He saw four gentlemen and ladies in trench coats or formal attire walking up the stairs.
The man walking in the front has a square face, larger nose and ears, and shallow nasolabial folds.
He has severe forehead wrinkles, deep eye sockets, and wears black-rimmed glasses.
"I'm Lewis."
The gentleman introduced himself, and habitually grabbed his brown hair with receding hairline.
Max nodded: "We were investigating a murder case, and the deceased was one of my soldiers."
"I traced here based on clues, thinking that the people in the house were the suspects."
"But it now appears that he himself was a victim."
"The situation inside is very weird. It's beyond the scope of our ability to deal with it. It can only be handed over to the members of the church."
Lewis nodded.
Max left two soldiers behind to help, and everyone else, including himself, evacuated the apartment.
"We have just arrived in the Southern Continent, so we have work to do."
"Originally, I thought I could rest for two days."
The only woman among the four.
Only about twenty-three or fourteen years old, with a beautiful appearance and long brown-red wavy hair.
She looked smart in a shirt and trousers.
But two buttons were unbuttoned at the collar of the shirt, exposing the deep career line to the air.
"Stop complaining, Martha."
Behind the lady, a pale-skinned, shorter man walked into the room: "We're not here for vacation, fix the problem here as soon as possible, we have to go to the front line."
The lady named Martha seemed to be chewing candy in her mouth. She shrugged her shoulders to the last man beside her: "He's really motivated, don't you think so, Warren."
The man known as Warren was about the same age as the lady.
With short brown curly hair, he looks a bit shy.
"Jeffrey has always been enthusiastic, I mean at work."
"You all come in and take a look." The voice of Captain Lewis sounded from inside.
Although the two people outside the door had expected the situation to be dire, they saw blood that was almost congealed on the ground.
See the corpse that was opened behind.
I saw the magic circle painted with blood on the ground, as well as the organs and spine that seemed to be sacrificed.
Both Martha and Warren were pale.
As for Jeffrey, his complexion has always been bad, and he can't see his current mental state.
After Lewis and the others checked the house carefully, they exited the room and came to the corridor.
"What do you think?" The captain asked a question as usual.
"Perverted killer!" Martha said after taking a few deep breaths of fresh air, "This is really bad."
Jeffrey said softly: "Scenes like that, as well as the altar on the ground, remind me of a kind of faith."
"Demon worship."
The shy Warren said while thinking.
"I remember that in the ancient Fourth Epoch, human forces that worshiped demons formed a loose alliance called 'Blood Worship'."
Lewis nodded and said, "That's right, the organization is very divided internally, and the three major demon families of North, Andrerad, and Beria stand at the same time."
"Their ancestors all once received gifts from the abyss. They worshiped an evil god called 'Dark Side of the Universe' and believed that he was the master of the abyss."
"It is the destroyer who will erode and corrupt the entire vast universe of the entire real world."
Martha spread her hands and said, "So now, a lunatic who worships demons has come to the Southern Continent?"
"What does he want to do, summon a demon?"
"It's not a possibility," Lewis said.
"Let someone transport the body back first, and then we will investigate."
this task.
fell on the soldiers.
When the four 'Nighthawks' came down from the apartment and got into the carriage.
Lewis stopped suddenly.
On the carriage, there was a letter, which was pressed with a stone to prevent it from falling.
Lewis immediately gestured: "Check to see if there is anyone suspicious."
Martha and other team members either took out their revolvers or short sticks and scattered in all directions.
Lewis checked the letter to make sure it wasn't poisoned or cursed.
just opened it.
The letter consisted of only one line of phrase: Beware of the 'devil'.
Not signed.
nothing.
"devil."
Lewis looked at this line of phrases with a dignified expression.
Martha and the others came back soon, saying that they did not find anyone suspicious.
Lewis circulated the letter to several people, and then said: "Go back and talk about it first."
In a house on this street.
Sifa stood by the window, watching the 'Nighthawks' leave.
"I didn't expect to run into an old friend here."
Xifa did not forget that when he first became a 'Hunter', he came into contact with these 'Nighthawks'.
I saw them again later in the city of Tingen.
I didn't expect to meet again when I came to the Southern Continent.
The letter that Lewis saw was naturally left by him.
In addition to leading the 'Evernight Church' to point the finger at the 'devil' operating in the dark, it also warned Lewis and the others.
This is definitely not a problem that their 'Nighthawks' can handle.
Xifa hopes that they will report the incident to the high-level, so that the 'Red Gloves' or even a certain bishop will come forward in person.
To be able to fight against a 'devil'.
At this time.
Xifa's inspiration was touched.
He didn't need to turn his head to know that Sharon was behind him.
When this lady 'puppet' does not speak or act, she is like the most perfect and delicate puppet.
The kind that will delight doll lovers.
Even Xifa had to admit that it would be a great blessing if such a doll really existed.
Sharon with blond hair and blue eyes said, "In a few days, I may have to leave for a while."
Sifer guessed it had something to do with the letter she had received.
"no problem."
"If you need my help, you can tell me at any time." Xifa smiled.
He didn't mind selling more favors to Sharon, or the teacher behind her.
Sharon nodded: "If there is a need, I will bring it up."
Xifa then took out another letter: "Can you help me deliver it to the nearby Rebel base?"
Sharon reached out to take it without saying anything, but the figure suddenly became transparent, and then appeared in the mirror.
Nodding to Sifa, she disappeared again.
Church of the Goddess of the Night.
Once back, Lewis went straight into the church and grabbed a priest.
"I want to see Your Excellency Elijah."
Elijah is the archbishop of the Church of Evernight, known as the Eye of the Goddess, and she is mainly responsible for the church's affairs in the southern continent.
The priest nodded and left.
Not long after.
Lewis met the lady in a quiet and dimly lit room.
