Building a Salvation Organization from Scratch

Chapter 23 There is still a third party?

Facing Andrew, a guy who has worked in the national security agency for a long time, Luke simply couldn't bear Andrew's scrutiny for too long.

The young painter avoided his gaze, and the expression on his face that had been smiling suddenly subsided, and something was obviously wrong.

Looking at the silent Luke, Andrew took out his ID and patted it in front of him.

He had to know what was going on with that painting.

The investigation in Taos Town has been completed for the most part, and the result of the investigation he received on his mobile phone is that most of the people fell asleep during the early morning hours.

The few who did not sleep did not find any abnormalities.

Andrew was mentally prepared for this. No matter how much noise happened in that manor, it might not affect the town of Taos.

After all, Taos Town is said to be near the manor, but it is actually separated by a certain distance, and the movement is so small that it is almost impossible to notice anything.

But right now, this painter is very likely to become a breakthrough.

"You left Taos early this morning to paint in the San Cristobal Taiga."

"Then, you saw or heard something."

"Right?"

Andrew approached Luke's face, staring closely at the young painter.

Facing Andrew's pressing question, Luke swallowed and felt a little overwhelmed, but subconsciously lowered his head even further.

Seeing that Luke still lowered his head and said nothing.

Andrew said oppressively: "This is a matter related to national security. I hope you can distinguish the situation clearly and don't hide anything."

His voice was slowly but increasing in volume.

Luke trembled subconsciously, and then slowly raised his head to look at Andrew: "This is indeed a painting I did in the early hours of this morning."

Seeing this, Andrew nodded in satisfaction, took out his notebook and began to record Luke's words patiently.

"Last night, I couldn't sleep and wanted to continue creating. I went out to find the right scenery."

"After searching for a long time, I chose to go to the San Cristobal coniferous forest. Although there are private manors in it and it is forbidden to enter, I think it is not bad to paint the dense forest under the night on the periphery."

"Then……"

Speaking of which, Luke swallowed.

Andrew could clearly see Luke's pupils dilated slightly, and he understood that this was the physiological reaction of human beings when they feel fear and tension.

What Luke encountered next must have shocked him.

"Say it, don't be afraid."

Andrew took out a piece of milk-flavored candy from his pocket and handed it to Luke.

Sugar, which represents energy, is extremely needed from the underlying logic of biology, so it can always give people a sense of stability and happiness.

Andrew often brings some milk-flavored candies with him when he goes out.

Luke took the candy, put it in his mouth, and tasted the sweetness carefully.

After a long time, he continued:

"Then, I heard a series of explosions and the roar of some sort of beast."

"That monster's roar is definitely not something that any known creature can make. Just listening to it makes me feel frightened."

Speaking of which, Luke has some fears.

He slowly raised his head, stared at the calm Andrew in front of him, and then looked at the portrait he had drawn for the passerby before.

Seems to have found a few comforts, calming down the flustered mood slowly.

The narration will continue.

"Then, all was quiet."

"I wanted to leave in panic, but I couldn't move my frightened footsteps outside the dense forest."

"Until dawn came, a golden pillar of light rose up to the sky, and the infinite warmth suddenly rushed into my heart, making me forget my fear."

"Together with it, there is also the scream of the monster. I can hear fear from that scream."

"It's as if it knows that it is facing a god that it knows it is invincible but can't escape, so it can only scream helplessly."

"After that, I didn't know anything, and everything was completely peaceful."

"I'm afraid to find out what's going on."

"I came back here in a daze and drew what I saw."

"Then I, who wanted to act like nothing happened, met you."

Luke fell silent after saying this.

His story ends here.

And Andrew, who heard and recorded the relevant words, also fell into silence subconsciously.

There is no monitoring in that manor and forest, but there are some monitoring in this town of Taos.

Whether Luke has been out of Taos Town at night can also be found out after investigation.

Besides, during the investigation in the manor and the dense forest, there was indeed a piece of investigation information: [Finding a huge circular high-temperature burn mark on the ground of the manor]. He had been deliberating over this very suspicious information for a long time at that time.

Now it seems that it is probably the trace left by the golden beam of light.

So let's take Luke's words as the truth, Andrew can probably infer a fact from it that he can't help but think deeply.

First, the monster suddenly appeared and had a firefight with the people in the manor.

This corresponds to what Luke said [the successive explosions and the roar of some kind of beast], which can be confirmed by the explosion residues, gunpowder residues, and shell casings they found in the manor and forest.

Then the monster rushed all the way into the dense forest to deal with all the escaped people, and then slowly returned to the manor.

This corresponds to what Luke said [then, there was peace]. From the footprints of the suspected monster they found in the manor and the forest, it can be deduced that this multi-legged monster did rush into the forest in a hurry, and it did not rush into the forest. Slowly returned to the manor, but all traces suddenly disappeared somewhere.

In the end, it was the point that made Andrew really think deeply.

According to what Luke said——[A golden beam of light that reaches the sky rises up, and the monster screams, as if knowing that he must die in the mourning].

A simple conclusion can be drawn:
The monsters ran rampant, and all the people in the manor were slaughtered.But something so powerful that the monster could not resist suddenly appeared and solved the monster.

Judging from the wailing sound, that thing not only used the golden beam of light to kill the monster, but also killed it with a high probability.

Andrew understood that perhaps they hadn't found the monster when they searched around, it was precisely because this sudden thing took away or destroyed the monster's body and cleaned up the traces of its own appearance.

What this represents, Andrew is too clear, which also makes him a headache.

This means that what happened in the manor in the early hours of the morning was not just monsters slaughtering humans, but a new third party was involved to solve the monsters.

Investigating monsters is already troublesome enough.

As a result, it became apparent that there was a mysterious and mysterious force that was hostile to the monster.

This third-party force undoubtedly needs to be investigated carefully.

Andrew frowned, couldn't help but took out a milk-flavored candy and stuffed it into his mouth.

The spreading sweetness eased his anxiety.

"Next, you may need to cooperate with us for a while."

"I will take this painting away too."

Andrew stood up and picked up the painting with the golden beam of light.
