After leaving the dance studio, Officer Zhang led the people towards the church.
She glanced at her cell phone while driving. The screen of the cell phone placed on the fixed shelf showed that the call was in progress, but the call failed several times.
The call was automatically hung up. Officer Zhang sighed and turned the steering wheel to go around to another highway.
Because of what happened last night, she was now cautious not to take the same path as before. Although she needed to take a detour, it was better than running into trouble.
In the heavy rain, there were some pedestrians and cars on the neon-lit streets, but not many. The shops were also deserted, and some people had already closed their shops in advance.
The weather has been bad these past few days, and so many strange things have happened in the city, making people panic.
While waiting for the traffic light to turn green, Officer Zhang reached out and tapped the screen of his phone and dialed another number.
But this time I didn't have to wait for long. The other party quickly connected, and the sound of pounding rain and violent breathing came from the speaker.
"Huh?" Officer Zhang was also a little surprised when the call was actually connected.
"Captain?!" A voice called from the other side.
"What happened over there? I called several people but didn't answer the phone," Officer Zhang asked.
When the person on the other side heard her voice, he was obviously relieved, and then said seriously: "Several brothers who went out on patrol today have disappeared, and I can't contact the bureau. I thought something happened to you, captain."
Officer Zhang restarted the car and responded while paying attention to his surroundings: "I'm outside now, how many people are there with you?"
"About a dozen brothers, we just escaped from the black fog." The other person sighed, his voice sounded very tired.
"Black mist..." Officer Zhang narrowed his eyes.
"Captain, the situation now is exactly the same as it was decades ago!"
"I understand, take the rest of the people to the church, and be careful not to get close to the police station."
"Actually, we just escaped from the police station..."
"..."
If they can still run out, they are considered very powerful.
Decades ago, a group of cultists suddenly appeared in the city without attracting the slightest notice from outsiders. They silently preached, worshiped, and summoned evil gods.
After that, it was the Military United Church that destroyed the summoning ceremony of the cultists in one fell swoop and completely eliminated this evil organization.
At least it appears to have been eliminated.
But now that the cultists are back, and if the other side wants to do what they want, they will naturally not let go of the officials, and the church probably won't let them go either.
After Officer Zhang explained the matter and hung up the phone, he raised his head and glanced at the spire emerging from the building complex in the distance.
A golden cross is inlaid on the spire, shining in the neon lights.
As the tallest building in the city, you can see a corner of the church standing high no matter where you are.
Officer Zhang looked away, stepped on the accelerator and accelerated towards that direction.
Under the rain, an old car ran across the waterlogged road. It bumped from time to time due to the uneven road due to its speed, but it still drove smoothly.
There was a faint light in the front seat of the car, but the back seat was in darkness with no lights on.
The leather of the seat is slightly cracked and the edges are yellowed. It looks like it has not been replaced for a long time.
At this time, the girl who was lying stiffly in the back seat, her dark eyes spinning blankly like a whirlpool, suddenly raised a hand.
Then, the raised hand pulled her entire upper body and tilted her up, as if she was being hung by something, pulling her up like a string.
The girl's shoulders were half slumped, and her pupils were still dark.
Then, her lowered head slowly turned, with a pale face, staring at the driver's seat in front of her in a strange and sinister manner.
…
…
church.
The priest locked himself in the prayer lounge, and while reading the information, he flipped through all the teaching books of the past, looking for ways to deal with those cultists.
As a formal religion, the church's records of cultists are more detailed than official records.
After all, this is an opponent that will drive away believers.
According to records, those cultists believe in a black god who controls the abyss of desire. They sacrifice young girls who need to be pure and have evil summoning rituals that can summon the black god to come.
The owner of the church is the Merciful and Almighty Lord, and he has countless believers in the mainland. Even so, they cannot summon the Lord to come, so why are those cultists?!
It is indeed a cult!
This is what is recorded in the teaching manual...
The priest picked out the useful information and didn't pay so much attention to the records with strong subjective thoughts.
What made him sad was that the last time the cultists were defeated was the Paladin Legion. The teaching book spent the entire record praising the great knights, but there was no such thing as a Paladin in their small church.
At this time, there was a sudden "bang bang bang" knock on the door of the prayer lounge.
The panicked voices of the vigilant believers came from outside the door: "Bishop! Your friend is here again, and...and she..."
The priest closed the textbook and stepped forward. After opening the door, the person lying outside the door rushed in unexpectedly. He stepped aside and got out of the way.
The believer who fell to the ground reacted and hurriedly crawled inside again.
The priest looked up, his brows twitching.
Officer Zhang, who was standing not far away, looked at him expressionlessly: "Why are you still stunned? Come and help!"
The woman's entire right arm was wrapped in black mist, making a sizzling sound, and something sticky dripped down the arm to the ground, as dark as petroleum.
She was still holding a leg in her right hand. The owner of the leg fell to the ground with his upper body and was dragged along mercilessly by Officer Zhang.
The priest stepped forward to take a look, and then said to the believer next to him: "Go and get some holy water."
The cultist nodded fearfully, carefully avoiding things on the ground, and ran out quickly.
When Officer Zhang saw the fear on the believer's face, he couldn't help but said in disgust: "Isn't this the only kind of thing you have here? Then if those people attack you, why don't you all get into chaos?"
"He is just an ordinary believer. In other words, he is just an ordinary person." The priest looked indifferent and walked around behind her to look at the things being dragged.
She is a little girl with dull eyes.
There was no soul at all, leaving only a body with a stiff and pale complexion.
The priest just looked at her without touching her and asked in surprise: "Did you rush over and catch her? And, where did you find her?"
In the evening, this man said he was going to find Qiuzi, but when he came back he actually brought the girl named Lan Ruo.
Officer Zhang let go of Lan Ruo's feet and said calmly: "She was attacking Qiuzi when I went there, but failed, and entered a strange state of suspended animation. As a result, when I took her to the church, this thing
Awakened again."
What happened next is self-evident.
The priest looked at the miserable state of her body, said nothing, and stared at Lan Ruo.
This thing looks more like the Death Eater in the textbook.
