Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 58 Pale blood and filthy deeds
As a place to store corpses in the town, the shelter is actually not open for many days.

All those who unfortunately died would be groomed here, and after relatives and friends paid their respects, they would be sent to the cemetery for burial.

The body of the normal daughter who died due to an attack by cultists was sent here, but on the first day of martial law, the building was directly destroyed by the incredible heavy rain.

None of the staff inside was alive, and it was not even clear whether the dead inside were contaminated.

Mayor Herman was already very accommodating to the work of martial law, but there has been almost no progress in this work in the past few days, and he needs to confirm whether his daughter's body has been damaged.

He was worried about being attacked here, and it was also because of the good deeds done by those evil gods' relatives. Now he just wanted to find his daughter's body and bury it quickly.

But the sent workers dug for a day, but they didn't find any clues.

As they got closer and closer to the area where the coffin was located, people became more and more hesitant, fearing that the results inside would be unacceptable to Mayor Herman. Under the mayor's rage, no one would be safe.

When Amanda and Pearson arrived, people were already preparing to excavate the last area.

The mayor himself is said to have rested in the nearest carriage and left his mansion.

Amanda stood in the distance and looked around, but didn't see anything suspicious.

He tried to observe the base layers of those building structures, but did not think that the previous heavy rain could destroy the buildings to this extent.

It was almost clear that this place was under attack.

But at a time when we are rushing towards the worst-case scenario, perhaps this should be faced head-on.

Workers finally dug into the area and found an intact coffin containing the other deceased who had been housed at the time.

After getting permission, the priest who was sent was called back and checked the situation inside, but there was no damage.

This gave people some good omens. The outermost wall collapsed and the coffin remained intact in the crushed area.

Theoretically, this will not be affected.

Until a certain unlucky worker went down with a shovel and broke through a piece of waste wall. When the shovel was pulled out, pale liquid seeped out of it.

Apart from the color, this thing looks like blood, and it really smells like blood.

Nearby workers hurried over and dug as hard as they could under the command of the mayor's steward.

The housekeeper also sent someone to inform the patrols that these things are likely to be related to cultists, and ordinary people may be threatened if they are contaminated.

The church pastors were already holding scriptures in their hands, praying and reciting unknown words.

Amanda felt more and more that the atmosphere was like an autopsy in a museum. If a big rice dumpling popped out of it, the sense of sight would be too strong.

He even regretted coming here, because his luck was really bad, something would happen wherever he went, and it must be related to evil spirits.

Fortunately, with the efforts of the workers, the entire intact coffin was dissected out. The pale liquid seemed to only appear in the nearby rubble and had no direct connection with the coffin.

Although it is the resting place of the mayor's daughter, there is no obvious difference between this coffin and the others.

People nervously looked at the connection between the coffin lid and the lower part. The nails had not been driven into it, and they could be removed as long as they were pushed hard. Now they only need to push the lid to get the result.

Several workers approached the priest and asked for forgiveness, then touched the holy water with their hands.

It is said that these holy waters are exclusive to the church. Although they may be just ordinary water, they can always bring some psychological comfort after having faith and prayer.

The workers closed their eyes and pushed hard. After the scene was revealed, everyone remained submerged and did not dare to make any sound.

Only the girl's skirt was left lying in the coffin, but there was no trace of her body.

On the expensive mat where the body was originally lying, there were traces of twisting and twisting of the wet body.

It was known that the poor man had lost his leg when he was attacked.

But now the scene inside shows that this half corpse seems to have grown terrifying limbs.

These workers did not dare to think too much about the evil and taboo hidden in it. Some people were even so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, their lips trembling, and they made such indistinct whimpering sounds.

The butler still had that terrifyingly calm face, his eyebrows were lowered, and he sighed softly.

Now he is the only one to report this matter.

The priests hurried over, holding scriptures in their hands, chanting scriptures, and observing the scene.

There is still some turbid green water at the four corners of the inner wall, which has not evaporated completely due to the recent weather.

There seemed to be some tiny, slightly softer scales in the stagnant water.

These scales do not have scary features or ugly appearance, on the contrary, they give people a very soft feeling.

But these cannot conceal the possibility that the body of the mayor's daughter has also been desecrated.

Some people have even unconsciously imagined in their minds that the most crazy and terrifying thing that spans between life and death is childbirth.

Those cultists have no regard for human ethics and morality, who knows what uglier things they will do.

Finally, Amanda and the others walked to the coffin and looked at the scene inside.

There was some anger suppressed in his heart, and some sense of powerlessness.

Pearson looked at it and said cautiously: "I think this may have something to do with the fish-man monsters in the water."

The deep divers have been looking for this method of giving birth to offspring. Could it be that they have found some taboo and terrifying method?

According to previous inferences, these deep divers can only become fertile when they are close to human form.

God Kirialod once blessed these fish people, allowing them to retain the fertility of human women, but it is unknown whether it can continue forever.

Now it seems that the blessing may not last long, and many deep divers have completely turned into monsters.

But once he thought of being with the corpse of a girl, he did such a taboo and filthy behavior for the continuation of their race.

Amanda's morality as a human being felt extremely shameful. Before these deep divers turned into monsters, they also lived in the human worldview.

Attracted to evil, his instincts awakened and he completely abandoned his humanity.

I have to say that this is the tragedy of this world.

"Amanda! Behind!"

Pearson shouted hastily, waking up Amanda who was thinking.

The latter instinctively rolled toward the ground, stabilized his body, and looked in the direction of the danger.

The white blood-like liquid that had been produced from the wall had accumulated at some point, and gradually took on a viscous form. Just now, a bubble actually popped out and sprayed out in this direction.

Fortunately, I was reminded in time and the bubble just exploded on the ground.
