Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 514 The Dark Zaki Appears
A few hours later, the pastor, Erica Dolan, who had just come out of the church building, looked helpless at the enthusiastic detective Holmes in front of her.

Originally, he thought that he would be able to get rid of this detective who was like a plaster when he arrived in the Holy City. Who knew that this detective actually had letters from the Knights Hospitaller and a letter from a church saint.

So Erica, who had reported the pollution incident, was assigned to the detective to investigate the evil pollution incident nearby.

Anyway, the church is currently short of manpower, so it wouldn't be a bad thing to have a trustworthy detective willing to help.They have heard from Europe that this famous detective is worthy of their trust.

"Don't be so downcast. Let me tell you, you know the final angel Omega you spread. He is the Holy Son who wrote to me. You know Father Gascoigne. He claims that he is known to everyone in the church. People don’t know, but my girlfriend’s master is actually my father-in-law.” (A nun from the Cherubian Eye sequence expressed doubts.)
This great detective does not seem to be a genius with extraordinary intelligence. Instead, he seems to be a talker. To keep him silent is like killing half of his life.

Erica has been reciting the scriptures silently in her mind, resisting the urge to physically transcend this charming bitch.

In Erica's imagination, after he reported the pollution, the church sent him an army, or at least a full set of exorcism equipment, to kill nearby and find the source of the pollution.

Who would have thought that a crazy detective who was familiar with him would appear, and he would no longer have any idea of ​​​​letting him do a good job.

When Erica was about to raise her fist, Holmes finally got to the point:
"I have collected some information. Those old people who died are those whose children are not around or have disappeared or even died. Therefore, they did not have many thoughts of following the public to seek refuge near the Holy City. They themselves can easily become enemies. The target of the attack, because by the time other people realize it, these old people have already been contaminated."

Erica exhaled to calm down her negative emotions and asked: "So we only need to investigate who they had contact with before their death, or what they did in common, and we can find clues."

Holmes smiled strangely and said: "Not too stupid, but as I said, these old people were targeted because there was no one around them to take care of them. Since there is no one around them, who can clearly know what is going on except the dead themselves?" What happened before they died?"

"Doesn't it mean that there is no way to find clues by relying on detective skills? No, I have to go back to find a professional priest to track the smell of pollution. I will definitely find the problem."

As soon as Erica finished speaking, she was grabbed by Holmes with a sinister look on his face, who whispered:

"What I hate the most is that you people with extraordinary powers always rely on mysterious means to track traces. It makes me, a detective who relies entirely on the traces of material things to deduce clues, like a mentally retarded person pretending to be crazy. But fools will be fools. , it’s just that you poor people can’t understand the genius idea of ​​mine, come with me, I have found the source of the pollution.”

Holmes is confident in his ability to search for clues and can find traces of pollution without relying on the divine sequence's perception of evil.

Holmes drove to the nearest polluted village. It was only eleven kilometers away from the Holy City. Standing on a taller building in the city, he could see that village.

Maybe by tomorrow, those resurrected dead will have already swarmed in, all of them coming under the walls of the Holy City, waiting to be fed.

"You said that you know His Highness the Holy Son, and that His Highness the Holy Son is the Final Angel Omega?"

Erica felt that it was really boring and had to find some interesting topics. He was still very interested in the Giant of Light.If the Son of God can transform into an angel as a human being, do ordinary people like them have a chance?

"A little kid with a good temper who can't see through his inner thoughts, but he is always the first to rush to the front when encountering danger, and he can be trusted by others. Trust that this little kid will definitely be able to solve the problem."

Holmes casually commented on his impression of Amanda, but his proud observation and reasoning ability could not get more information from Amanda. The little kid's behavior was like a meticulous robot, and he occasionally said A few flirty words, but he will never let what happens outside change his purpose.

It was as if there was some vital responsibility on his shoulders.A man who is married and wants to support a family can no longer vent his emotions like the carefree teenager he once was, and has to start caring for others. Is this a kind of torture?

Holmes didn't know. He would see if he could break up with Anna when he returned to Europe. He was still an older boy in his thirties and was not old enough to take on family responsibilities.

Ten minutes later, the vehicle stopped in front of the village. The mass cemetery outside the village had been cordoned off. Most of the patrols in the holy city were just symbolic. There is a lot of religious power here. Many priests and priests will solve the problem.

Because of the most basic religious ethics, as long as you don't encounter believers with obvious heresies, there will basically be no security problems.

It's just that in recent times, the dead who had just died and were about to be buried in nearby villages have begun to raise their coffins, but they are not very strong.

Courageous villagers can beat it to death with farm tools, and they don't know what the purpose of such a low-level evil creature is except for the initial fright of the jump face.Do you expect to scare a few elderly people to death by relying on the scare of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases?
"Give way, give way, will someone die again?"

Erica wields his priest's scepter. Every church member generally has such a wooden staff. The higher the position, the larger the size of the wooden staff (the stronger the physical attack).

It is said that the lowest priests can only hold whips at first. These instruments represent the clergy's help in shepherding believers with the Holy Spirit.

The patrolmen made a way. There were more people living here, and there were many people who came from other places and happened to pass by here for a break. They were wondering whether they should continue to move towards the Holy City.

It seems that the closer you get to the Holy City, the more monsters and monsters appear.

Holmes came to the dead man and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

The deceased was only 32 years old, male, and a farmer with rough skin. There were marks of manual bites on his left shoulder and he had lost a lot of blood.The bandages that tried to stop the bleeding worked, but they didn't stop the contamination from the bite from entering the body.

Wait, pollution!
Holmes' eyes froze and he hurriedly asked the people around him to move away.

If pollution can be contagious, maybe the dead middle-aged man will wake up after a while and turn into a walking corpse like yesterday's monster.

But after waiting for several hours, the carcass still showed no sign of the carp standing upright, nor did the salted fish turn over.

The deceased has already begun to ferment, no, it has begun the early process of decay.

What the hell is this? Can't it infect other lives after the pollution spreads?

So this time the threat of pollution has been further reduced.

Holmes still remembered some files he had read. The biohazard caused by the contamination of a food processing plant in the Americas could ensure that ordinary people would quickly transform into monsters after being bitten. Some American foods were exported to Europe for a while. It has also been strictly investigated to prevent such large-scale pollution from happening.

But if it can't infect others, the walking zombies born after contaminating the first deceased are really weak, so they can at most be replaced with one.

This kind of rubbish comes to play around the holy city, and the old man Jehovah simply doesn't pay attention to him.

"The mutated people so far are the first dead, and they are not contagious. If there is anything in common, these dead are all old people. They are all old people. If this is the case, does it mean that only natural Only dead old people will be polluted. Oh, is it a new species created by the cultists?"

Before leaving Europe, Anna gave Holmes some inside information, some basic knowledge about evil contamination and supernatural powers.

Just like alchemy and chemical ratio also require fixed equations and can adjust the final blended product by optimizing the quantity and type of material materials, flesh and blood sacrifices can awaken evil creatures by adjusting the types and methods of sacrificed flesh and blood To strengthen summons.

This time there is no system of human-to-human transmission, maybe they did it on purpose.

Holmes didn't know that the previous generation of dark priests contacted all the infected zombies one or two years ago, but they were wiped out by Omega's invasion of the source of infection.

When hunting Amanda in the dreamland, Omega followed the network cable to find him and completely destroyed the previous generation of dark priests.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, the optimized pollution will basically not be connected to the Internet. After all, the other party really has the ability to come along the network cable and give you a big dick.

Now I can only go to the home of the first deceased. The previous deceased have been buried in coffins before they mutated. Everything in the family was burned or buried with them.The deceased in this village had just died, and when he was carried by his nephew to find a doctor, he mutated.

Maybe you can find some secrets from the furnishings in your home.

There are also many people who are going to the holy city here, and this is the place where they rest for the last time. That is to say, there is a large flow of people, and it is much more convenient for anyone who wants to mix in.

Holmes took Erica and some patrol officers to the house of the first deceased. It is a bit excessive to say that it is a house with four walls, but there is indeed no decoration on the walls and the bed is very simple. It can be seen that it belongs to this devout believer in asceticism. effort.

Alas, the most important thing for a living person is to be happy. It doesn't cost any money anyway, and it's enough to have a faith that you believe in. There is no need to turn yourself into an ascetic in order to express your piety.

Holmes rummaged around randomly, looked back at Erica, and said:

"You are a professional. Please help me see if there are any items here that are inconsistent with your teachings, or that are seriously heretical."

Erica frowned and said, "Didn't you graduate from Oxford or Cambridge theology?"

Holmes spread his hands and said helplessly: "There are already some differences between the state religion and the church in Britain, and it is even more different from the fundamentalism here. We will not send people to the gallows casually, but the French like it. But even if They are French, and they are not as brutal as the fundamentalists in your area, who kill people at every turn."

Erica said without changing her expression: "That was a long time ago. We haven't killed anyone for a long time."

Erica still followed Holmes's advice and looked around to see if there were any objects that violated the doctrine. However, this room was too poor, and there was no place to put things except a cabinet.

"The economic level near the Holy City shouldn't be so low. Why are you doing taxes or indulgences?" Holmes asked maliciously.

Erica retorted: "You Europeans are the ones who like to make indulgences. We here only like pure gold and a pure spirit."

He walked to the cabinet. It had been wiped clean, and he could vaguely see what had been placed on it.

Opening the drawer, there was a book of scriptures that had been turned yellow and wrinkled, but there seemed to be something under the book that propped up the whole book.

When Erica took the book away, he discovered something that made him exclaim:

"Noah! This, what a blasphemy!"

A statue of the [Giant of Light] that is black with some scarlet stripes is lying on the bottom of the drawer, and it has festered into dust starting from the feet. Maybe it will completely turn into a pile of powder in a few hours. Can't tell what it is anymore.

Erica has never seen Noah's true face, and not many people in the entire church have.

But he just instinctively felt that this dark giant's posture still had a face, and it was a blasphemy against the great Noah.

Holmes hurried over, his eyes fixed on this gesture, and he memorized it completely in his heart. He took out a pen and paper and began to sketch.

As if sensing that someone was watching, this little figure turned into dust visibly with the naked eye, like a thin layer of dust that is common in ordinary people's cabinets.

Holmes was already covered in cold sweat. When he looked at the image he had subconsciously sketched in his hand, he was horrified to find that the drawing in his hand was soaked with sweat. There were only a few daubs of ink on it, and there was no identifiable shape at all. observe.

Erica, who was next to her, was already dazed and covered her head and roared a few times. After that, she completely forgot why she opened this drawer before and what she saw in this drawer.
