Chapter 66: An Amazing Discovery
"Goodbye, little wolf cubs!" Ralph drew his silver-plated dagger and in the blink of an eye he was able to finish off several young werewolves who had been battered by the Icicle technique.
His movements were swift and precise, and there was no hint of hesitation or pity at all.
When he had done all this, he rubbed the blood on the dagger on the corpse, raised his shotgun and aimed it at the enemy rushing head-on, and pulled the trigger again.
Bang!
Another werewolf who jumped down the stairs fell to the ground, and the dark red liquid quickly gathered together, forming a large shocking bloodstain, which was estimated to be piercing if it was seen by ordinary people.
However, the members of the Demon Hunter team seem to have long been accustomed to it, neither the experienced Ralph nor the other two slightly immature young men showed any abnormal reactions, and each used his ability to either contain or kill the werewolves that continued to emerge from the basement and the second floor.
All Zhang Cheng had to do was stand at the back of the line, rubbing ice arrows, fireballs, and occasionally a few arcane missiles one after the other, blocking all enemies from a safe distance.
After about a third of the mana stored in the body was consumed, the whole old house finally slowly quieted down, and except for the occasional groan of pain from one or two seriously injured guys, no new werewolves appeared.
At this moment, the living room was littered with corpses, at least twenty-five werewolves died on the spot, and four lucky ones who escaped the mortal wounds but were crippled.
Of course, the so-called luck means that they are still alive, and unfortunately surviving does not mean that there will be good luck.
Because what awaits them next is likely to be a series of inhumane torture to extract confessions......
Feeling the pungent smell of blood in the air, Zhang Cheng frowned slightly, and asked in a tone that was not very sure, "What are we going to do now?"
"No, you don't have to, of course there is a cleaner to deal with the body, just make a phone call when you leave. What we need to do is to search every corner of the house first to make sure that nothing slips through the net, and by the way, find out what the hell so many werewolves are gathering together. With that, Ralph winked at his teammates.
The black girl led her leopard to the basement, while the young man who emitted infrasound waves went alone to the second floor, while he himself searched room by room along the corridors on the first floor.
As the old house was not very important, after only three or five minutes, a black girl cried out, "Hey! You better come down and have a look! I seem to have found something terrible." ”
"What is it?" asked Zhang Cheng as he descended the dirty staircase into the basement.
Moment!
He was completely stunned by what he saw!
In the dark and narrow basement, there were more than a dozen crosses nailed to wood, each with a naked girl.
Most of them had been dead for some time, and the corpses emitted a faint stench, with only the expressions on their faces telling of the pain and suffering they had endured before they died.
As for the cause of death......
Well, Zhang Cheng doesn't quite know whether these girls died of excessive fright, excessive blood loss caused by nails piercing their hands and feet, or being killed alive.
Anyway, their deaths were so tragic that even the well-informed Ralph couldn't hold back it, and let out a gritted curse: "Shet!
"Why do werewolves do this? We've seen werewolves before who are bloodthirsty and even succumb to bestiality, but they have never had a penchant for torture. The black girl asked, covering her nose.
Zhang Cheng endured the nausea, approached and carefully examined the corpse, and soon pointed to the lower abdomen of the corpse, and guessed in an uncertain tone: "I think it may be for fertility!" Please pay attention to the observation, this female corpse has obvious folds in the belly, indicating that she had just given birth to a child before she died. ”
"What do you mean...... These werewolves are using ordinary women to reproduce their offspring?"
"Not only that, but there must be other hidden purposes, otherwise they don't have to torture the pregnant woman to death after giving birth, and they can continue to make her pregnant and give birth. In addition, the two werewolves at the gate mentioned that their leader needs twenty virgins to complete the ceremony, and I think it may have something to do with the ceremony. As he spoke, Zhang Cheng circled around the basement twice, and suddenly felt that the position of the cross seemed to be very regular.
To prove his idea, he picked up a wrench and connected the crosses in a straight line.
Before he could finish the painting, Ralph cried out, "Oh my God......! It's a sacrifice!"
"Sacrifice?" Zhang Cheng raised his head suddenly.
"Yes! It's a sacrifice! Sacrifice the soul of a tortured woman to the demons! Through such rituals, the demons can infuse the evil energy of hell into the newborn baby, causing it to gain great power and grow rapidly. Parliament had banned similar acts hundreds of years ago, and they could not have imagined that they would be so bold. Ralph explained, trembling.
In the underworld, angels and demons are not mythical creatures, but real beings.
These two special species from another world discovered Earth tens of thousands of years ago and opened portals to try to transform the entire planet according to their wishes, only to trigger a devastating war.
In that war, countless ancient civilizations and races on Earth were completely wiped out, demons and angels were also severely damaged, and finally the remaining three parties reached a peace agreement.
According to the terms of the treaty, angels and demons can influence humans by seducing, deceiving, and inspiring, but the use of violent coercion is not allowed, and their number is strictly limited.
In particular, demons who are chaotic and evil by nature always deliberately drop books on evil rituals to fool idiots who crave power, wealth, power, and beauty.
Although Zhang Cheng had never seen a real demon so far, according to the reference given by the underground world, even the worst demon could be compared to a lord.
If this matter involves a demon, then it is undoubtedly beyond his ability.
"Mr. Wizard, I think it's best to inform Lady Catherine that demons are not easy to deal with. Ralph reminded in a low voice.
"Well, take a prisoner and we'll withdraw. Zhang Cheng hesitated for a few seconds and immediately made a decision.
Although it is a very pleasant thing to kill the enemy, it seems that it is not possible for the time being.
Not to mention whether this demon exists or not, just a dozen babies infected by the energy of hell is enough to give people a headache......
