Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 5 Curse the Past

The road to the mayor's mansion quickly changed from a rough stone road to a smooth asphalt road.

The area where the mayor's mansion is located is the most prosperous in the entire town, and the bosses of the factory built on the edge of the town also live nearby.

And this morning, the cultist who was wiped out 12 years ago made a comeback and assassinated the mayor's daughter, leaving behind that hideous tentacle mark.

"He will come to us!"

These were the last words the cultist yelled before escaping. According to the last servant who witnessed it, the cultist was tall, wearing a hood that covered his face, and his body and limbs seemed a little weird, and he didn't seem to be moving with ordinary people's habits. .

There was a strange scratch mark left on the edge of the wall at the back of the mansion, which seemed to be the trace left by the cultist climbing in.

But the scratches really didn't look like neat marks left by metal, but more like the claws of some kind of animal.

Reminiscent of those Western fantasy novels I read in my previous life, they seem to be collectively called the Cthulhu Mythos series.

The cultists inside are more or less human beings and have some supernatural powers.Otherwise, it would be impossible to survive in the civilized world of mankind, and he would have been killed by thermal weapons long ago.

Amanda was thinking absentmindedly, not even paying much attention to the nervous servants nearby, and followed Blake into the building.

"If you're scared, you don't have to come in."

Blake reminded that he also noticed the scratch. If it scratched someone, it might not be directly cut into several sections.

Although Amanda has seen two people die, they were all corpses anyway.

If you really see a tragic scene, it may be a lifelong psychological shadow.

Amanda mustered up her courage. He came here just to find clues about the servants of the Dark Familiar and the cultists as soon as possible. There was no reason to escape.

Following Blake, he approached the floor where the mayor's daughter's boudoir was located.

This is located on the uppermost floor of the entire building, and the rooms are on the sunny side.Even the floors in the corridors were kept clean without a trace of dust.

So much so that when two people walk by, they can leave faint footprints.And those servants wore clean shoes, which made no difference.

When we were almost at the end of the corridor, we could already hear the painful curses of the mayor, Hermann Griffin.

Judging from this voice alone, the father was obviously extremely angry at the assassination of his daughter.

"Mr. Hermann, Chief Black and the child you are looking for have arrived."

The butler knocked on the door in a low tone, put on clean white gloves and held the handle.

"Let them in."

After receiving permission, the housekeeper opened the door and revealed the scene in the room.

The girl's body was lying next to the bed and leaning against the bed cabinet. The lower body was almost flattened by something huge. The flesh, flesh and bones were spread out and integrated into the thick carpet, making it difficult to clean.

Amanda almost vomited when she saw it.

The originally beautiful face became hideous and terrifying due to the huge pain before death. Two delicate arms were nailed to both sides of the bedside table. The nails were the girl's accessories.

The long, light silver hair was spread loosely, blowing by the wind outside the window, slightly brushing the owner's fair cheeks, but it would never be combed by the owner.

A slightly obese middle-aged man knelt in front of the window, stroking the girl's hair, weeping uncontrollably.

"Lilia, my Lilia. Sheriff Black, I will give you two days. No matter what method you use, find those hateful cultists for me! We eliminated all of them with our own hands 12 years ago. In the sea. It can destroy them again like now!"

Mayor Gehrman turned around, his pupils that were red from crying could not help but tremble.

There was a hint of disgust in his eyes as he glanced at Amanda.

"Gehrman, I'm sorry that such a sad thing happened."

Blake was obviously an old acquaintance with the mayor, and he slowly walked forward to comfort him.

Mayor Herman stood up suddenly and roared: "Go and arrest people quickly, don't act pretentious here!"

Blake seemed to be the one who owed something in the relationship between the two. He just nodded silently and pulled Amanda to leave.

"and many more!"

Herman calmed down, stared at Blake and said, "Even if it means sacrificing the life of this little brat, you have to avenge Lilia. You have already been indecisive once, and I don't want it to happen again."

The housekeeper came forward in time and took the two of them away: "Please go and get busy. I'm afraid the mayor has not prepared a reception for you. He needs some time to recover."

Blake nodded, glanced at the butler's face, and walked out with Amanda.

Amanda hurriedly asked while there was no one around: "What did you mean by those words just now? Were you the ones who eliminated the cultists together 12 years ago?"

Black didn't say much, he just said: "There are many people with mixed eyes, let's talk about it after we get out."

The two of them were summoned in a hurry, but were kicked out within a few minutes of entering. They were really embarrassed.

Blake took Amanda to the nearest hotel to stay. It was not convenient to go back and forth to the police station in the past two days, so he planned to work here.

The hotel owner was happy to set aside a room for Blake, and in the eyes of the town residents, Blake had always been a conscientious police sergeant.

They heard that a cultist had returned and attacked the mayor's daughter, so they naturally hoped to catch the murderer as soon as possible.

After taking Amanda to the room, Blake vigilantly confirmed that no one was in the nearby room, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Amanda, he said eloquently: "Twelve years ago, I was always a gangster, and Herman was the boss of the gang, my best brother. We helped some when we were chasing cultists at the police station, but I spared a cultist about your age out of ridiculous sympathy. The guy poisoned Hermann's pregnant wife, cast a horrific cult spell, and escaped. And Hermann's wife She soon died due to the curse, and gave birth to Lilia before her death. Now, Lilia has also been brutally murdered. Hermann must think that the cultist who escaped back then has returned. Because when the curse took effect, Lilia's mother She's about to give birth and maybe the curse has taken effect on Lilia too. So the cultist has to come back and kill Lilia."

Amanda pondered: "That's the truth, but why does he hate me so much? I even suspect that he wants to kill me on the spot."

Blake sighed: "When you were just born, you survived the cult's ritual, but his wife died. Now, his daughter is also dead. Seeing that you are still alive, naturally he will not have a good attitude. .”

Amanda might be able to figure out why she had never caught up with the mayor for an inspection in so many years in the orphanage.

Good guy, this plot is a bit bloody.

Wait, although the ritual of sacrificing the mother of this body failed, but I did not die, this will definitely be targeted by the cultists!
Blake's concerns are not without reason.
