Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones
Chapter 8
Chapter 8
"Hahaha -" Zussman laughed, showing a proud look: "This is why I like to tell stories to children, because they will definitely believe it subconsciously."
Seeing Amanda's unkind expression, Zussman coughed a few times and then said:
"How is it possible that someone can live for more than 100 years? He is a monster. Ahem, the person who is still in Mammoth Cave is the grandson of the tuberculosis patient who was said to be missing, named Soderling. I remember there were people from the academy before. After investigation, Soderling’s grandfather may have suffered from albinism and gigantism, and was mistaken for a monster.”
Daniels' voice came from outside, driving a carriage:
"That's enough Zussman! Don't tell anyone else the nonsense you heard. We're almost there,"
Amanda asked softly: "Then what are the three of them afraid of?"
Zussman didn't answer, and Pearson, the youngest of the three, snorted hard through his nostrils, as if remembering something bad, and muttered:
"Soderling once stole domestic livestock for a while. After he was caught, he only found scenes of the animals being bitten and leaving rotten flesh skeletons. That guy looked like a wild beast. If you had seen that scene with your own eyes, you would You will be scared too. That guy really looks like a beast, his eyes are full of madness, and he even wants to hunt his own kind."
Amanda thought to herself, Well, it seems that Soderling is just suffering from some kind of mental illness, not a monster with supernatural powers.
I wonder why Blake came here to catch the cultists?
We'll be arriving at Mammoth Cave soon, so maybe we'll find out then.
The carriage began to jolt, and it was evident that it had left the town.
The Mammoth Cave is on the other side of the town, on the opposite side of the plain where the factory is located.
It is also located above a nearby river, and few trees have been cut down.As soon as they left the town, the sunlight dimmed and was blocked by the huge forest, instantly revealing the primitive wilderness to the visitor.
This means that the visitors have left the boundaries of civilization and officially entered the natural wilderness.
"You have to get off the car. Follow me for the last few hundred meters. Be careful of getting lost!"
Daniels yelled, slapping the car, and everyone hurriedly got out.
Daniels tied the horse to a nearby tree and calmed the horse's uneasy mood.
The three Davises were a little nervous and followed Zussman closely. Only Pearson was a little bolder and walked with Amanda.
Amanda asked in a low voice: "Is that Soderling so big and round that he can be called a human tank?"
Pearson frowned and said, "What is a tank? But that guy may be like his grandfather and really suffers from gigantism. You can't even reach your waist in front of him."
Amanda thought about it, the Soderling was probably over two meters tall, and with the scene of hunting livestock and eating raw meat mentioned before, he could somewhat understand why Pearson and the others were scared.
Even if Blake was holding a shotgun and standing in front of such a giant, he would probably be a little alone.
The two chatted for a while, and soon noticed the smoke coming from the bonfire not far away, which seemed to be cooking some soup.
Looking hard, Blake was sitting next to the campfire, and a huge figure was busy nearby.
"It's coming, it's a little slow. I have almost all the questions I should ask. After finishing this meal together, we will enter the interior of Mammoth Mountain and arrest the cultist."
Blake greeted, the shotgun at his feet.The huge figure was Soderin, wearing a huge robe made of animal skins, with bare legs and feet, and turned around.
His hair and beard, which had not been taken care of for a long time, covered his face, but it could be seen that it was washed frequently, but it was not dirty.
Soderling opened his mouth and made a bell-like sound:
"Welcome guests."
Pearson and others shook their shoulders and did not dare to look directly at Soderling.
Amanda stared at Soderling's face curiously. Apart from the intimidating size, he really didn't realize there was anything dangerous about the two-meter-four giant.
"You'd better stay away from him. When he gets sick, he can break your waist with his bare hands."
Blake said from a distance, motioning for Amanda to go first.
After several people sat down in front of the campfire, Amanda asked:
"Chief Black, aren't we here to arrest that cultist? It's been almost a day, and there are no clues now."
Blake found himself a wooden bowl to make soup, took a sip, and then said: "There are three roads out of the town, the factory, the sea road, and Mammoth Mountain. I asked people to ask about the factory, and they found nothing unusual. The college's response Evil professionals are stationed there, and they told me that the abnormal changes come from Mammoth Mountain."
Amanda looked at the direction of the ocean and said, "Why can't they escape from the sea? Isn't the Raleye they are looking for also at sea?"
Blake replied: "We just came from the seaside, and there were no unusual reports that day. Moreover, Soderling told me that a goat died in his territory. Well, it was served."
A smell came, and Soderlin took out the roasted goat from his shed and placed it next to the bonfire.
Blake tore off a piece of meat and continued: "Soderlin was very angry. He described to me the scene where the goat body was found. The marks of the cult were carved there, and it was a typical sacrificial ceremony. What is clear is that that The cultists gained power through this sacrifice."
Zussman listened carefully and couldn't help but ask aloud:
"Sir, are there really evil gods in cults? The monsters spread in Mammoth Mountain are actually albinism and gigantism. No one has ever seen the black mud shells washed up on the beach. Now you are saying that you can gain powerful power by sacrificing to evil gods? If this is the case, the church will be overthrown. How many poor people donate to the church every year, but I have not seen how much better their lives have become."
Blake sighed and said:
"I didn't think so at first, but with the traces left at the scene of the death and the scenes I saw with the old police chief 13 years ago, I couldn't help but believe that there must be some way for those cultists to obtain supernatural powers through flesh and blood sacrifice. Power. Maybe there is some science in it that we cannot understand. We are just trapped by current knowledge and can only think so."
Amanda asked hurriedly: "So, does Soderlin know the traces of the cultist? According to you, Soderlin has been living in this forest. If the cultist passes by, he will definitely find it."
Blake quickly finished the roasted goat in his hand, burped with satisfaction, and said:
"That's why I asked you to come here. That guy's revenge will not end with killing just one person. He seems to be eyeing other animals that Soderin keeps free to complete a larger sacrifice ceremony."
He changed the subject, looked at the three Davises, and said coldly: "You three, you can tell me what you saw in R'lyeh back then. Although you have not shown any intention to continue looking for R'lyeh in these years. Behavior, but both Andrew and Paul who survived had crazy attacks on others. I have to take you outside the town, and don’t even think about going back until you figure out these things."
Amanda noticed that when Blake said these words, his hand was already holding the shotgun at his feet.
