Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 3
Amanda pushed Andrew's body away hard, struggled back, and leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.

A living person had just died in front of him. The weapon that killed him was still in his hand. The blood that had not dried up became sticky and made his clothes heavy.

The wet feeling soaked into his skin, and the tingling sensation was like a surge of electricity, making it difficult for him to calm down.

The shoulder that had been strangled began to feel sore, and I was unable to speak for a long time.

There were footsteps all around, and the neighbors who had been awakened came over at this time, looking at everything on the street in horror.

The scene of Andrew's death was indeed a bit unsettling. The women covered their mouths to prevent themselves from screaming and pushed their children back into the room in a hurry.

The men looked at the corpse rather sadly, noticing the file that had penetrated the head and caused death, and little Amanda who was leaning against the wall and looked like she was frightened.

"Hurry up and call Sheriff Black. Alas, I really don't know what happened. How could such a good man like Andrew encounter such a terrible thing."

People were talking, and the courageous Mrs. Zize rushed her daughter back, came to Amanda, pulled her into her arms, and pulled him to stand up, moving away from the body.

"My poor little Amanda, can you tell us what happened? We all heard Andrew's cry, but this is the first time that you, a child, ran out."

Mrs. Zize is the proprietress of a nearby shop, and her husband works in a factory as a team leader.

Most of Amanda's shells are sold to Mrs. Zize, who is also very concerned about this child without parents.

Amanda took a deep breath to calm down and opened her mouth, but her voice was still trembling:
"Husband, madam, Uncle Andrew said that his fish had been stolen, and then he seemed to be crazy and took a knife to chop me. We fell to the ground, and he couldn't hold the knife steady in his hand, and he suddenly... "

Amanda didn't say any more and pretended to be frightened.

In the eyes of others, he was just a 12-year-old child. It was the first time he saw someone die in front of him. It was good that he didn't cry in fear.

And everyone did hear the crazy words that Andrew shouted at the end. Some elderly male townspeople seemed to realize some terrible memories, and their faces darkened.

Amanda noticed that someone's eyes were moving back and forth between herself and Andrew, and she hugged Mrs. Zize nervously, burying herself tightly in her arms and not making eye contact with these people.

He clearly remembered that before Omega hid, he said that the descendants of darkness had begun to appear.

Maybe those dependents are among these people.

well?Why is the tip of my nose a little warm?
Mrs. Zize comforted Amanda who looked frightened. He also cried in her arms when he was a child. It seemed that he was punished by the nuns in the church for stealing bird eggs. He ran out alone and couldn't find them at night. Way back.I took him back by myself.

Amanda, who was scratching her head, soon felt the people around her begin to disperse, and there was a rush of footsteps.

The person coming was none other than Sheriff Black, the most secure man in the entire Louisiana town.

A strong man who once killed a shark in the sea with a harpoon to save others.

But Amanda doesn't like this man very much, because in front of him, he always feels like he is being watched by a cold lion, as if the other person can see through his true identity.

Black is a white male, not tall but extremely muscular.

Not many people know whether the Sheriff's head is bald under the hat, because there is no hair on the sides under the hat.

The old men came up to Blake, pointed at Andrew, and whispered something.

Blake asked his men to pack up Andrew's body first, and finally walked up to Amanda, looking at him with cold and serious eyes.

"Amanda!" he shouted in a deep voice: "You have to follow me back to the police station and spend the night there until we find out the reason why Andrew went crazy."

Amanda was let go by Mrs. Zize and touched the tip of her nose, which was red from being suppressed.

"Chief Black, can I not go?"

Amanda is very alert. He cannot trust anyone until he has no way to confirm who is the so-called Dark Beloved.

Sheriff Black shook his head, held Amanda's shoulders with both hands, and whispered:

"I have to tell you something, kid. We can't leave you alone in a dangerous place. You know, Andrew is the only one of us who still insists on going to sea, and all this may have something to do with you."

Amanda looked confused?
How does this have anything to do with him?He has been in the orphanage since his consciousness could control his body.The evil mark that triggered Omega's awakening yesterday was also a strange story from the town 27 years ago.

Chief Black didn't give Amanda a chance to ask. He took Amanda's arm and led him towards the police station.

When they arrived at the police station, after Amanda sat down, Chief Black sat sideways on the table, reached out and knocked on the table, and a dark box opened.

He took out a metal ornament from inside, which contained the twisted mark composed of many tentacles that Amanda had seen in the book yesterday.

Sheriff Blake chanted softly in a strange and desolate tone, but looked at the mark in his hand with disdain:
"Like the sun shining through the dark night, the figure arriving at dawn on the other side circulates in reincarnation."

He stopped, looked at Amanda again, and said:

"You know, Amanda? You are not from our town. 27 years ago, men brought back a primitive tribe of women from a small island called Raleye. Even though I was young at that time, those women, It was the most perfect thing I had ever seen in my life. They quickly united, but none of them gave birth to children. The women of that tribe died quickly, until the last one, 13 years ago, was killed by her before she died. The husband took her to look for the women's hometown, Laleye. After a year, only the woman came back, but she was pregnant. The following year, the cult that was expelled from the big city caught the woman and sacrificed her. You sacrificed it to the so-called god to destroy the world, but nothing happened. I followed the previous generation of police chiefs to eliminate all the cultists and picked you up from the coast. This is your life experience."

Amanda only felt helpless for a while, without any ups and downs of thoughts.

He just felt that Blake seemed to have something to say and asked:

"Chief Blake, do you think that Andrew has been going to sea because he wants to find the hometown of those women? And his madness today has something to do with me?"

Sheriff Black showed a mysterious smile, pointed to the mark in his hand, and said:
"This is the trophy left behind by the defeat of those cultists, and it is also engraved with their ugly prayers. What those cultists were looking for was also the sanctuary named Raleye, maybe it was that island. A month ago, Someone told me that this mark was found in Andrew's house, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time. Now it seems that the cult has not been eliminated. As the only person who may be from R'lyeh, you will definitely be targeted by them. .”
