Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 7 The Beast in the Cave

Daniels and Zussman looked at Amanda together, who was touching her whole body anxiously, as if she was trying to take something out of her clothes.Or, check if you have any shortcomings.

Zussman laughed, "Hey, Superman kid, we ain't doing anything while you're asleep."

Amanda ignored Zussman. He was just looking for the things he got from Omega before he woke up.

If nothing else, it is a spark prism, a prop that transforms into Tiga.

But he searched all over his body and couldn't find it.

Could it be that it was just a dream?

"It will come when you need it, and now is not the time."

Omega's voice added, causing Amanda to relax and calm down.

Seeing this, Daniels added: "It seems that the child is having a nightmare. Is there something attacking you in the dream? Well, Amanda, come to dinner. It will be very busy these days."

Amanda nodded in agreement, finished the food as quickly as possible, and showered in the bathroom to clean off the sweat on her body.

Now Madion came back, wearing an ill-fitting patrol uniform.This was the smallest number he could find, and he handed it to Amanda, saying:

"Chief Blake asked you to change into this, just in case. This clothes can also provide some protection."

Amanda understood what Blake meant. After changing into clothes, she had to wrap the belt around her waist half a circle more to tighten the clothes.

The trouser legs at the ankles also had to be cut so as not to affect movement.

Zussman laughed and said: "Look, it's really good, kid, now you look like an adult. When things are over, I will take you to see the adult world, haha!"

Daniels smacked Zussman: "What are you talking about? Watch your tone, Zussman. You're talking to a kid, not the pretty girls at the bar."

The two were joking, and the atmosphere didn't look serious.

People who didn’t know better thought they were organizing a picnic.

Amanda followed the two of them. Madien brought the three people Blake wanted today and was about to go back to work.He is a civilian and is generally not allowed to go to dangerous places.

Three men who had gone to R'lyeh were downstairs, and Amanda originally thought that her life experience would attract the attention of these three people.

But he never thought that these three people had never even glanced at him.

That's right, if my identity is really that strange, those who have been to Raleye during the 12 years since I grew up cannot be indifferent.So much so that he only learned about this body's life experience from Blake yesterday.

"Where is Sheriff Black? I heard that idiot Andrew died yesterday. Don't you think it was us?"

The speaker was a man with a loud voice, named Pearson. He looked very young, not at all like an old man of that generation.

The other man next to him wore glasses and looked very much like Madin when he got older. His name was Davis, and he was wearing an old suit. He said in a deep voice: "Daniels, please tell Blake, we are interested in finding that There is no longer any desire for the island. Only Andrew, the stubborn man, still hopes to find his wife on the island."

"That's right, Daniels, you know, the three of us stick to our duties, and Andrew's death has nothing to do with us." There was another named Turner, who followed Davis's words and hurriedly tried to clear up their relationship. Get rid of clean.

Daniels said with a serious face: "This has nothing to do with Andrew. He died in an accident. I called you here because of the assassination of the mayor's daughter, Lilia. It may have something to do with the evil that circulated 12 years ago. You've been to R'lyeh and you know what those lunatics want. If they're going to come back, there's no way you'll be spared."

As soon as Daniels finished speaking, Davis showed a horrified expression and shouted harshly:

"Oh my God! We don't have the guts to covet any beauty and wealth anymore, and it has nothing to do with the misfortune of the mayor's daughter!"

Zussman was a little dissatisfied and shouted loudly: "That's enough, three gentlemen! For your safety, wait until we see Sheriff Black!"

Turner covered Davis' mouth, comforted him, and said, "That's right, that's right, we'll tell you when we see Chief Black. Also, I would like to ask, where is Chief Black at this time?"

Daniels showed a strange expression, and said, "Behind the town, in a cave on the hill called Mammoth."

When the three of them heard the name of Mammoth Mountain, even Pearson, who showed the least fear and was the youngest in his prime, turned pale instantly, which was noticed by Amanda.

Amanda asked curiously: "Mammoth Mountain? Why don't I know this name?"

Daniels ruffled Amanda's hair and said, "There are still many things you don't know."

Davis approached nervously, with a frightened expression on his face. He seemed to be more frightened than when he learned that they might be related to the murder of the mayor's daughter, and said grimly:

"Do you want to bring weapons? You need to bring a few guns, what's in that hole."

Amanda felt that she had to find out some information in advance, pretending to be a child, and said hurriedly:

"Mr. Davis, when Sheriff Black set out yesterday, he brought a shotgun. Can you tell me what's in that mammoth cave? Why have I never heard of it in this town since I was a kid?"

Daniels did not answer and led everyone into the carriage and headed out of the town.

Zussman sat next to Amanda, pulled his shoulders, and said with a wicked smile:

"That was a legend that old people used to scare children 100 years ago. It's more ridiculous than this, so what's strange about R'lye is even earlier. Only a few people know about it now."

Zussman began to preach. It turned out that there was a tuberculosis epidemic in the town 100 years ago. The sick people believed that the environment in the cave was more stable and peaceful and would not be disturbed by the sea breeze, so they hid in the cave to rest.

His family will deliver meals every day, and he will wait until he recovers before leaving the cave.

However, many people actually died at that time, and few recovered on their own. Instead, because the patients all died in the cave, normal people in the town were not infected, which can be considered a gain and a loss.

However, when people counted the number of people afterwards, they found that one person was missing.

In addition, in the next 100 years, people often heard strange sounds that seemed to be inhuman and inhuman from the cave, and saw a huge pale-skinned humanoid monster, standing on all fours, making a terrible coughing sound, wandering in the depths of the cave. in the channel.

People believed that thing was the incarnation of tuberculosis, coming to the world in a human body.

However, after the college developed drugs called antibiotics, various diseases quickly subsided, and patients no longer needed to hide in caves to avoid infection.

The last time the legend of the beast in the cave was mentioned was when cultists took the initiative to explore Mammoth Cave more than ten years ago.Compared with other movements caused by the cultists back then, it was much smaller.

Even all the evil deeds performed by the cultists themselves during the rituals were only recorded in the last few pages of junk newspapers. No wonder Amanda knew nothing about it.

But he still asked: "So the monster in the cave is still alive, so why are you so afraid?"
