Later, Ajax, an experienced and experienced old hunter who was specially recruited, once again confirmed Jiang Tian's indescribable anger and suspicion. On the stone floor in the prayer room, a strange and complex pattern was carved out with a sharp tool, with black and mottled marks soaked in the grooves.
The rag-like things piled aside were actually the processed skin of young girls’ backs and buttocks. The anointing oil contained in the silver ritual vessel used for consecration is human fat; the white candlestick base is actually polished from the femur and arm bones of young humans.
A living scene of hell on earth is hidden in this inconspicuous prayer room. And how long have these people been here, and how did they obtain their sacrifices? How many people suffered as a result? To be honest, it’s really scary to think about it, isn’t it?
"What a blasphemy, how disrespectful..." Andrew, the ascetic monk who was recruited later, also vomited wildly on the spot and cried incessantly: "How dare you use bone oil, flesh and blood to defile the holy name of the Trinity? Black Mass, this is the legendary Black Mass!"
"It seemed like someone ran away before we came in." Then the old hunter Ajax noticed a certain detail and immediately saw along the wall to the ceiling; there was a narrow transom with a corner of the cover opened, and There were also some bird droppings and an unknown feather on it.
The next moment, full of indignation, Jiang Tian broke the cast iron grille window and crashed out of the window of the prayer room. After just looking around for a moment, he saw two men wearing linen on the top of the gray tiles beside the monastery wall. The figure in monk's robe was running away in a strange manner.
Then, he casually broke off the rusty tip of an iron fence in his hand, and while chasing it with all his strength, he suddenly threw it at one of the figures; in an instant, the whizzing iron tip hit the target, and one of them was slightly Short stature; but penetrated without any hindrance.
The collapse shattered a piece of tile surface, and tore off the monk's robe of the short figure; exposing most of his body to the skylight; at this time, it happened that the thick clouds also revealed a corner of the sun again, like a long pillar reaching the sky. Generally shrouded in front of the two running figures.
Jiang Tian saw it in an instant. After the short figure hit the sunlight, it was like a mouse falling into boiling water. On the spot, billowing black smoke rose all over the body; there was also a shape that resembled a distorted human face flashing past. . I saw him screaming and rolling down the tile surface.
It turned into a heavy plop again; but it fell into the large pool behind the large monastery. The remaining fugitive seemed to have been stimulated. He also avoided the sunlight and rushed to the end of the tiled roof in front. He jumped down as soon as his robe swayed.
The next moment, the fugitive who was already in the air suddenly received a heavy meal. However, Jiang Tian, who was also rushed to the edge, grabbed the edge of the monk's robe; then there was a sound of tearing fabric and the brittle roof of the tiles. In the midst of the sound, Jiang Tian stepped on the tile roof again and dragged him back forcefully.
Then he threw it away under the sunlight. In an instant, Jiang Tian saw the other party's appearance. He was a middle-aged man with strong muscles, protruding eyebrows, sharp eyes and white teeth, who looked like a carnivorous beast; even though he was wearing a simple monk's robe, he still had an evil flavor.
However, his whole body was smoking under the sunlight, and his red and black exposed skin and flesh were squirming constantly. He rolled on the ground and tried to crawl out, but was kicked back unceremoniously by Jiang Tian. Until he became more and more tired and weak, and gradually shriveled up and shriveled up.
However, the moment Jiang Tian approached him, this alien, full of pampered and aristocratic temperament, suddenly turned his fingers and claws and grabbed Jiang Tian's ankle; he was about to drag him down and tear him apart with all his strength. Bite and devour the opponent's flesh and blood, just listen to the kacha sound...
However, the entire skinny arm was torn off by Jiang Tian. Then he stepped on and removed the alien limbs in the same way, stamped on its fifth limb, and finally Carrying this alien stick, he returned to the interior of the monastery.
After having such a strange living sample, the military operation that was originally just to seize food became more justified and justified. In the words of Andrew, who preached on the spot after asking for instructions, he was cleaning a pious sanctuary and safeguarding the glory of the Lord.
Afterwards, the body of the alien that fell into the house was quickly picked up by the soldiers; however, it was already covered in ulcers and swelling and was beyond recognition. It seemed that he was drowned and choked to death by the water. Despite this, Jiang Tian decided to give it a cremation package that would destroy its bones and ashes.
According to the old hunter Ajax, the thing in front of Jiang Tian looked like a vampire from another time and space; it was called a blood demon in this era. As the name suggests, it is one of the alien species that has been inherited from ancient times and lives by devouring flesh and blood. It's just that he doesn't have as many abilities as vampires in literary and artistic works.
It will not turn into a bat or other things, nor will it have all kinds of fancy abilities and spells; but it will not have the ability to be regenerated into a blood pool after being chopped into pieces and burned to ashes, but its recovery ability is far superior to that of most creatures. It’s not easy to find the key points, and it’s just more difficult to kill;
And once he runs away and holds a grudge, there will be revenge that will linger around you for a long time. Therefore, although common sunlight and silver products can cause corresponding damage to it, they will only cause damage or even serious weakening, but will not cause death or destruction.
In contrast, at night, especially a moonless night, it will be particularly active and all aspects will be strengthened to varying degrees. And unless the head is chopped off directly, if the internal organs are hollowed out, the body can slowly recover by devouring flesh and blood, and it can survive for a long time even if it is buried underground.
Of course, the body will still decay over time, and then there is really no way to save it. So there is no habit of dormant underground. They also prefer to hide/mix in densely populated cities and towns, using various occupations and identities as cover, and then migrate/hunt regularly.
There is no way to develop the same kind casually; instead, in a specific ritual called blood-devouring, with the help of companions and using various materials and props, a lot of pain, despair or extreme joy can be created. There is a small probability of producing blood demons of the same kind with intact IQ.
Otherwise, half-blood demons or dead bodies with limited minds and only instincts will be born. However, things like blood demons can confuse people's hearts because their blood can produce a paralyzing and psychedelic component that makes people feel happy and addictive, and it is difficult to get rid of it.
In addition, in the historical records of hunters, it has also been found that individual blood demons have hypnotic abilities; especially for women and children with weak minds, and thus caused many clueless abductions/disappearances until The truth was revealed only when the hunter found the lair.
On the other hand, it is because of the concealment of this blood demon. The complete blood demon has enough intelligence to hide itself in the crowd. According to the records handed down from ancient times, it will even take the initiative to feed some other aliens and drive them into minions and serve as its own scapegoats.
In addition, there are some blood demons who live extremely long, and thus master a large amount of wealth and power, and even all kinds of knowledge and skills. At the same time, they hide themselves well in the protection of their positions of power. . And this kind of blood demon is the hunter's most terrifying enemy.
For example, there seems to be one right now. Because, according to the identification of the remaining prisoners in the castle, this guy who is neither human nor ghost is actually the former speaker from the provincial capital, the Grand Count of Lombard, Jojean de Sous. big shot.
Therefore, not only were there groups of various servants and guards, but the ceremonial guards and pomp were very large; the furnishings and utensils for daily life were also very selective, and it was said that they were all the latest styles brought directly from the capital. Just to satisfy him who lives here temporarily.
Even the "Red Baby" mercenary group guarding the castle took orders directly from him, not Earl Lombard; there were even more than a dozen prominent figures whose status was second only to Earl Lombard earlier. ; came to see and pay homage to him, and left behind those young men and women.
Therefore, the hidden clues discovered earlier in the construction of the official residence in Midonie Municipal Government were continued. Obviously, the Kingdom of Zealand has harbored too much filth and evil throughout the ages. Therefore, when the troubled times began and lasted for many years, all kinds of monsters and monsters appeared and danced wildly.
Jiang Tian couldn't help but solemnly gave an order to the old hunter Ajax, no matter what means or method, pry open the mouth of this distinguished alien as soon as possible. Then he returned to the large chapel on the first floor of the large monastery, which had been initially cleaned.
The curtains, tapestries, and cloth barriers used for blocking were also taken down one after another, and after removing the redundant and gorgeous furnishings, some of the solemnity and solemnity of the religious site itself was immediately restored. Jiang Tian also suddenly understood why the alien had covered it up.
Because, among the paintings on the ceiling and four walls, in addition to the traditional deeds of saints doing good deeds and ascetic practices throughout the ages, there are also some ancient heroes wearing gorgeous armor, chasing and hunting flying dragons and giant snakes on horseback. , trolls, monsters and other strange fantasy scenes.
Of course, Jiang Tian's attention did not last long. He directly found a comfortable place to sit down in the lobby and began to receive reports on the findings and interrogation of prisoners from his subordinates. Among them, there are two main messages that concern him more.
One is where the food supplies shipped from many nearby cities were stored. Although a large amount of dried chicken, duck, goose, bacon, ham, sausage, cheese, and hundreds of barrels of wine were found in the annexed warehouse of the great monastery, the quantity was still not up to par.
Another thing is that one of the captured streaking men and women was actually the chief accountant of the Wang Family Taxation Office in the provincial capital; he inadvertently revealed a situation in his confession. Several southern provinces, including Delong Province, have not paid taxes and tribute for more than ten years.
