Killing the US fear starts from the fatal bend

Chapter 162 Once out of purgatory, finally see the light
The next day.

Just after night fell and the sky was still a little bright, Ma Sen couldn't help digging up the grave that had just been buried, revealing the luxurious coffin.

He wiped the dust off the coffin, stroking the lines on it like he was stroking his lover's skin, and laughed heartily.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a sound of clothes rubbing against each other in the coffin, and his smile instantly retracted, thinking of the worst possibility—the mouse had already pulled the corpse away before him.

In desperation, he quickly picked up a crowbar and pried open the coffin.

Sure enough, in the first scene, the coffin was empty, only the white velvet satin remained in place, mocking the shattering of his dream of getting rich.

He yelled angrily, "Damn it!"

Suddenly, the friction sound came again.

He turned around in surprise and looked at the other side of the coffin. The rats had bitten a big hole in the top of the coffin. The corpse of the rich businessman was being dragged into the hole bit by bit by the rats. The heel remains in the coffin.

Mason quickly jumped down, lay down in the coffin, and reached out to grab it, only to get a brand new leather shoe.

Annoyed, he threw the leather shoes aside and shone the flashlight into the cave. The rich merchant's body was being dragged into the endless darkness.

It was a narrow and deep tunnel. Mason looked into the depths of the cave again, and he was determined to follow up and snatch the corpse back. However, such an underground passage environment was almost like a natural claustrophobia to him. Like hell, he never dared to take this step.

He knelt in the coffin, breathing heavily, his lips trembling slightly, flashing in his mind the image of himself being nailed into the coffin by gangsters, nailing the coffin boards with hammer and hammer, and stepping into the dirt.

call!He gradually had a decision in his mind.

Rather than waiting to be nailed into a coffin, it is better to take the initiative to fight in the cave. Rats are much easier to deal with than gangsters.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, took off his coat, drew a cross on his chest, and prayed for God's protection, then bent down, took a flashlight, got into the cave, and crawled towards the direction where the corpse was being dragged.

The tunnel was very narrow, and only one person could barely pass through it, and it was surrounded by plant roots like trees in the cemetery. He climbed hard for a long time, and said to himself, "Mason, work harder , you have to keep your dignity", marching forward with traces of corpses.

He climbed deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper. He didn't know how long he had stayed underground, and the corpse in front of him also disappeared. The closed and dark environment of the underground made him feel extremely uneasy and frightened. He began to have difficulty breathing and his heart beat faster. His body was sweating profusely, his cheeks flushed, a sense of helplessness and loss of control flooded in, and anxiety and panic engulfed his heart little by little.

In the dark cave, Mason could clearly hear his heavy breathing.

huh. huh.
There was also the sound of rustling and crawling.

He turned his head with difficulty, and shone the flashlight backwards.

A large number of rats were rushing from behind, and he was startled. He didn't care about what was in front of the cave, and struggled to climb forward.But how can his bloated body travel faster than a mouse in the cave.

Soon, his body was covered with rats. These dirty little things crawled over every corner of his body, occupying the space where he moved forward. The rats have not attacked him yet, but he dare not go any further. Crawl forward, as each step may pin the rats down, causing them to fight back.

Mason turned his head to look at the rushing rat tide, and waited for the rats to run over. He was still in shock before he dared to turn back and was ready to move on.

As soon as he picked up the flashlight and prepared to move forward, the bright light illuminated a huge mouse. The mouse exuded a foul smell, but in this dirty underground, the smell was not too obvious, so Mason didn't notice it immediately.

The mouse's head was less than half a meter in front of Mason. One head was bigger than half of Mason's body. On the wide open mouth, foul-smelling saliva was pulling threads, from the sharp black and yellow teeth slip on and off.

This giant rat has lived underground for too long, its eyes have degenerated, and it has completely lost its ability to perceive light. It can only use its sense of smell and hearing to sense its surroundings. Even if Masson shines a flashlight on it, there is no response.

It sniffed hard, and it felt like there was a stranger's breath, but too many mice crawled over Mason just now, and the juice and saliva all over his body smeared on his body, making Mason's body full of mouse smell, huge The mouse was a little unclear for a while.

It leaned close to Mason, its nose pressed against his face, and it kept sniffing.

Ma Sen was tense and stiff all over, not daring to make a sound, it took him a long time to pull out the pistol on his body, pressed his fingers on the safety, and gently opened it.

The giant rat was immediately startled by the sound of "Galala"'s safety pulling, and was about to bite it with a roar, but Mason had already thought about the next move when he pulled the safety, and he immediately aimed his gun at the giant rat mouth, a bullet hit.

The giant rat was shot, roared in pain, scratched its claws randomly, cut a deep wound on Mason's arm, knocked down his pistol, Mason ran away in the chaos, and the giant rat recovered from the pain After that, the frantic chase began.

Ma Sen chose a fork in the road at random and escaped. In a panic, he accidentally fell from a hidden hole. He slid down more than ten meters from the hole and fell heavily to the ground. Although the hole was deep, But fortunately it was a slope, so he was not injured.

Before he recovered from the sense of weightlessness and panic, he was frightened by the air-dried human skeletons lying on the ground under him, and he sat in the pile of skeletons, not knowing what happened. She was stunned, looking blankly at the bones around her.

Occasionally, a reflective object came into his eyes, he crawled over, picked it up from the gap between the bones and observed it in his hand, it turned out to be a precious ring.The surprise of obtaining the treasure expelled all negative emotions such as fear and confusion in his heart, and he continued to search among the bones. Sure enough, many of the bones contained ornaments and treasures that he carried with him.

He murmured to himself: "Mason! You're lucky!" He removed a few of Bai Sensen's ribs, took off a necklace, broke off a section of arm bone, and took off a pure gold bracelet. In the end, he also found the target of this trip, the antique long knife.

After putting away the treasures, he was able to look around with a flashlight in his mind. The four walls that were towering at an unknown number of meters were covered with all kinds of strange tentacles. It was a meeting place of cults from long ago.

He looked around the cult residence, and finally found a strange corpse in an archway, the only corpse in the whole place that still had some dry flesh and blood.

Then all his attention was attracted by the pendant hanging on the chest of the corpse. The pendant looked like pure gold, and its overall shape was somewhat similar to the head of the evil god. of tentacles.

He took off the pendant in a fascinated manner, held it in his hand and admired it.

Suddenly, the corpse of the cultist on the opposite side squirmed, as if he had come back to life, and started to move, grabbing Mason's shoulder.

Ma Sen was frightened out of his wits, but fortunately, the lower body of the cultist was entangled by vines, and he had just been resurrected, his whole body was weak, and he couldn't escape temporarily, so he struggled and escaped.

Mason looked around, but there was no other exit around this cult residence, so he had to climb up the inclined passageway that he fell down just now, and at the same time prayed helplessly to God: "Jesus and God the Father in heaven, I swear to obey you forever! I give my heart to you, and you only! Please have mercy on me."

Maybe it was really God's blessing, he miraculously climbed up the tunnel of more than ten meters, and dragged the roots and vines in the wall, dragged down the huge rock on the top of the cave, smashed to death the giant rat that jumped on him, and isolated the evil spirits. The path pursued by the cultists survived when they were flanked by giant rats and revived cultists.

And, when looking for the exit with a flashlight, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a light at the end of the tunnel directly above his head.

Even if the cultists couldn't get through, they kept reaching out and grabbing Mason desperately, cursing at the stone: "Hey, damn thief, quickly return my pendant, it's a token given to me by God. "

He seemed to be a little organized in his speech, but his demeanor looked a little crazy, as if he was a little out of order because of his belief in evil gods.

Mason stood up in embarrassment and began to climb up from the tunnel above his head, his heart filled with respect to God, "Thank you, Jesus, I am determined to repent! The brand new Mason is here!"

He climbed up with difficulty. Fortunately, the tunnel was full of potholes. Although it was hard work, he could always borrow strength so that he would not fall.

The tunnel of more than ten meters seemed as far away as a lifetime, and he kept chanting a very meaningful sentence he read in a book before:
"The road ahead is hard and long, once you get out of purgatory, you will finally see the light"

Encourage yourself to persevere, and hope to get closer to the sunshine above your head a little bit.

"The road ahead is hard and long, once you get out of purgatory, you will see the light at last"

He dragged his injured body, tenaciously, moving bit by bit.

Hope is here.

After climbing for a long time, he was getting closer and closer to the sunshine. Finally, with a burst of relief, he climbed into a comfortable and flat space, and there was no way ahead.

its not right!
Why not on the ground?

He turned over and pointed his flashlight upwards.

A silver-white metal disc reflected the light of the flashlight and dazzled his eyes, with three words "rest and safety" faintly engraved on it.

It turned out that he had crawled into someone's empty coffin.

All the sunlight he saw was the flashlight's light reflected off the metal disc.

Yes.

It is night, how can there be sunshine?
"NO NO NO!"

Locked in this dark and narrow coffin, his claustrophobia broke out completely at this time. He knew that no matter how hard he struggled, no one would hear the sound, but he still helplessly knocked on the top of the coffin, as if this would make him feel better. He feels relieved.

Not long after, a group of rats rushed out along the tunnel he crawled in. With Mason's desperate wailing, they bit open his soft abdomen, entered the delicious food, and then gnawed out a passage from the abdomen all the way up. , crawled out of the mouth.

After eating, the mice left in a file. The leading mouse crawled back with the pendant Mason had taken from the cultist's neck in its mouth, and sent it to the cultist with dry hair and growths between each finger. film on the hands.

Go back to an hour ago.

Luke questioned for a long time at the Mialco District Police Station. The police over there, how should I put it, can't say that they don't know everything after asking, but they can only say that they don't know anything.

After all, it is a police station in a slum area, with less police force and poor equipment. Even the pension is more than half less than other police stations. Perfunctory, lazy if you can.

Luke naturally understood this situation.

Then he asked.

Since you don't know the situation, then you can find me someone who knows the situation at the head office.

Then Sheriff Bernhard Crespo took Luke to a casino owned by the Black Hawk Gang and called out the person in charge, Abdul.

"Abdul, this is Inspector Luke, the senior inspector of the Phoenix City Police Department. He can suspend your casino for rectification with a single sentence. Now he wants to ask you something, and you must answer it truthfully. If you Your answer can help us, you know, I, Bernhard, have always been kind and repayable."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and explained to Luke: "Abdul is the head of the Black Hawk Gang in our district, and he knows all the information here, if he doesn't understand, then there is nothing we can do. "

Luke nodded to show that he was clear, looked at the gang leader, and asked, "Has there been any rat cannibalism, or attack on humans in the Mialco district recently, or any special situation about rats?"

Abdul thought for a while, the dead here recently were basically killed by his younger brother. If you want to talk about mice, I have never heard of them. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered that there was a tomb robber who owed debts yesterday. He said that he fought wits and courage with mice every day, and was bitten.

He pondered in his heart for a moment, it was more cost-effective to cover up the tomb robber, or it was more cost-effective to betray him to get the favor of the police inspector.

On the one hand, there is a poor man who has already paid back several times the interest of the principal, and on the other hand is a young senior police officer. He is useless for a second, so he made a choice instinctively.

"It's not true that rats cannibalize people, but I did hear about a strange thing about rats."

After finishing speaking, he truthfully told Luke about Mason's situation.

After listening to what he had to say, Luke was a little interested.

dead body rat
It sounds very heretic.

After getting the clues, Luke bid farewell to Abdul, asked Bernhard to lead the way, followed by his own little Ford, and came to the gate of the cemetery.

Bernhard originally wanted to accompany Luke to investigate, but this new friend, Luke always felt that he would be in a very bad situation if he came in with him, so he patiently told him about the possible risks, persuade him away.

The so-called listening to people's persuasion to eat enough, Bernhard was very persuasive, not stubborn, and he didn't wait for Luke to enter at the door and then secretly followed him. After asking Luke that he didn't need to lead the way when he went back, he simply drove home up.

Luke summoned Harpy who was following in the sky, took off the staff from it, and lay it in his hand. With a thought, thirty crows scattered and began to check the cemetery with a net.

Soon, a crow made a discovery.

It was a tomb that looked like it had just been buried. The tomb was dug up, and the coffin was also opened. It was empty inside, with only a deep hole that pointed to nowhere.
