Chapter 17: The Dawn Killer and the Two Demons

Everything was so familiar, Geng Daquan remembered that Colonel Philip had witnessed hell on earth under such circumstances, and whether this group of ignorant intruders would have their own tragedy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It is difficult for people to imagine something that they have not experienced, because as a bystander, it is none of their business, no matter how tragic and outrageous it is, it cannot compare to the pain of their own skin.

The people who huddle together have this kind of mentality, even if there is some fear, but this fear is not yet life-threatening, so they will continue to look for it.

The dark and eerie Gothic spiral corridor, Geng Daquan can no longer remember whether it was described in the report, but at this moment, under the light of the flames, it is like a gate to the dark world, and you never know what awaits you.

The mold of the air and the thinning of the oxygen made it difficult for the torches to shine as far as they did outside, and the darkness compressed them within a range of only a few feet around them, and their breathing became heavier and heavier, and the sight in their eyes was tense, as if in the next moment a beast of prey would rush out and bite the human body.

A dull "pop" echoed through the bell tower, the last time the bell was struck before dawn and the darkest time of the day.

There was a strange noise in the hallway at this time, as if something had just woken up from a deep sleep, and everyone heard it, looking at each other in the hope of getting an answer.

At some point, there was a commotion ahead, and Bao La thought that some timid people were retreating, so he shouted: "Don't think about anything, our task is to find people and leave." ”

"Blood, there is blood............!" Someone shouted.

Geng Daquan frowned, stepped forward and asked, "Who had an accident?" ”

"Oh my God, the walls are full of blood ................"

Geng Daquan was frightened, rushed to the front with a torch, and found that he had already left the spiral corridor, and several people stood still and pointed ahead with a frightened expression.

This spiral cloister has led the crowd to the upper floors of the Catholic church, where the windows can see the middle of the cypress trees outside. The interior of the house was already shrouded in scarlet. Bao La also walked over, and saw Geng Daquan holding a torch to watch, so he asked, "Is it blood?" ”

Geng Daquan can't tell it, there is no unique smell of blood, according to common sense, even if it is blood, but after such a long time, it is impossible to remain in a red state, and the blood will react with the air after leaving the body, and it will turn black after a long time. However, when I thought of black, the black residue I had seen in other places suddenly popped up in my mind, and the terrifying image of the two combined suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Don't worry about it, it shouldn't be blood, how can there be so much blood." Geng Daquan squeezed the crazy idea that suddenly popped up into his mind and said paradoxically.

Other people usually don't have many opportunities to come into contact with blood, but who hasn't seen it, I really calmed down and found a lot of different places, and I guessed that it should be a certain pigment that should be red, but it turned out to be just a false alarm. But at the same time, it also saw that everyone's heartstrings were tense, and the slightest unusual thing would make them almost collapse.

"What kind of place is this?" Geng Daquan deliberately asked in order to relieve their tension, but Bao La explained in great detail: "It's the archives, I'm still familiar with Tiande Cathedral, the Catholic Church is composed of three buildings in a U-shape, the main entrance is the worship area, and the two sides are the work area and the lighthouse area, the white spire we saw when we came is the lighthouse area, and now our location is in the work area." ”

Geng Daquan was a little surprised by Bao La's familiarity with the Catholic Church, and Bao La then said: "My lord and I both believe in Allah, and when the Tiande Cathedral was first built, I had full authority to discuss with the archbishop. ”

"Oh, I see."

As Bao La said, they unexpectedly came to the archives of the Catholic Church, and they could also see some wooden cabinets and bookshelves on display. Compared with Geng Daquan's observation in other places, this place seems extremely abnormal, and it is said that Tiande Cathedral is because of the "tragedy of the Holy See in Shanghai? The relationship was forced to close, and the contents were long since removed, but the Catholic Church remained its original appearance. How can you not wonder if things for everyday use are shelved in the storage room, brooms standing behind doors, half-open linens, everything is so unreasonable!

The further back you go, the more astonishing the discovery becomes, and some valuable silverware comes into view.

A cat meow came from a dark corner, and then the cat jumped on the ledge, and disappeared into the night. This picture came very quickly, and many people saw it in their eyes, and it did not frighten anyone. However, where Geng Daquan disappeared with the night cat, suddenly a white shadow flashed in his eyes at a faster speed.

"What is it?" Geng Daquan pointed out through the window in surprise.

Some people also leaned against the window to look, but they saw that the weeds as tall as people were automatically windless under the moon, and they did not see the white shadow reappearing.

"What is it?" Bao La asked when he saw Geng Daquan's fierce reaction.

Geng Daquan has always had a large part of the guilt of the missing person in his heart, and he didn't want to add more sense of crisis to this temporary search and rescue team, he was afraid that if he told the truth, it might make Bao La interrupt the search and rescue operation, so he said: "I was startled when I saw a wild cat just now. ”

"It's okay to have nothing!" Bao La was visibly relieved.

At this time, Hou Geng Daquan felt a faint sense of guilt in his heart, but this guilt only stayed in his heart for a second before being pressed down by the safety of the missing person. He knew that because of his connections, Heard Manor had inevitably changed, and there was an unclear weirdness in this change that might put them in danger. But when he thought that the missing man was already in great danger, how could he bear to ignore it, even if the consequences were unacceptable to him!

Search and rescue teams of more than 20 men and women searched for all traces of people in the faint light of the torches. However, what I thought was an extremely simple thing fell into the trouble of too many clues. Except for a clear female call in the chapel, there are too many vague clues, giving people the illusion that the missing people are visiting here, leaving their footprints everywhere that they have arrived not long ago, but this clue will always be suddenly lost in an inexplicable location.

"Is there any place we haven't been?" Geng Daquan asked.

"I've searched all the places in the work area, so if I can't find it, I can only go to the lighthouse area." Bao La shook his head, obviously wondering why he had heard a sound before, but he had searched all the places but found nothing.

"Is there a darkroom here?" Geng Daquan asked.

"Darkroom?" Bao La looked surprised, and didn't understand why he asked that.

"As mentioned in the Colonel's transcript, when they first entered the place, they accidentally discovered a dark room in the archbishop's chamber."

"Absolutely not, if it is the bishop's room, it is still possible, his room is under the lighthouse area, if it is excavated underground, it is reasonable, but we are now on the upper floor of the work area, and the structural diagram of the building is clearly placed there, and it is impossible to hide it from others." Bao La thought for a moment and replied.

Just as Geng Daquan and Bao La were still discussing around the dark room, someone came over and told Bao La that they had found a strange room, but although this person said it was strange, there was no uneasiness on his face.

"Where?" Bao La asked.

"It wasn't anything strange in the place we just came from, but someone smelled a pungent smell at the entrance of a locked porter, so a few people forced it open, and when we went in, we found that there were a lot of things in the room that we hadn't seen."

Geng Daquan and Bao La were also curious about what they said they had never seen, so they returned to the place they had said, guarded by several doors along the way, apparently as a church before.

As Geng Daquan checked, under the firelight, the inner chamber slowly appeared in front of him, there were isolation rooms, test benches, and some various utensils were placed on the instruments, and they smelled a pungent smell of formalin, which is used for disinfection and preservation in medicine, which is a typical Western laboratory. It is no wonder that the servants of Hurd Manor find such a comprehensive laboratory in an abandoned church, and that is probably the only one in China.

Bao La knows something about the West, but he can only think of it as a hospital, and he doesn't know about its true use.

"What do you know about the archbishop?" Geng Daquan asked Bao La while thinking about the laboratory.

"Gordon? I heard my husband say that he seemed to have studied theology at Queen Elizabeth College in the United Kingdom, and stayed in the school as a teaching assistant for a few years, and then resigned from his position as a teaching assistant because of something, and came to China after several exiles. ”

In that case, why did Gordon suddenly become interested in medical research and set up such a laboratory so cautiously?

Geng Daquan shifted his gaze to the wall again, and there were some strange newspapers pasted on it, most of which were horrific reports about Shanghai, which had the same features as the previous "Shanghai Times", but the newspapers posted on these walls were obviously collected and sorted out from various newspapers, and they were all about the crime of the victim at a certain place and time, and there were a large number of shocking pictures.

One of the most striking is an autopsy of the human body, which depicts the internal state of the human body in a religious ritual and is interspersed with rigorous geometric lines, as if it were a combination of theology and mathematics.

Geng Daquan suddenly understood why he was interested in medicine, just like this drawing, he wanted to decipher some religious questions through his understanding of the human body. In order to confirm his conjecture, Geng Daquan found all the written records in the laboratory, including a paper on demons written by Gordon himself.

This astonishing discovery not only allowed Geng Daquan to explain Gordon's obsession with medicine, but also unlocked the most real reason for the "Shanghai Holy See Tragedy". After consulting the top-secret documents on the "Shanghai Holy See Tragedy," Geng Daquan had always had doubts about the missionaries hiding women and children in iron prisons, but now he suddenly realized. All this was to satisfy Gordon's selfish selfishness, which led to the tragic death of hundreds of people in hellish captivity.

Gordon had already treated these people as white rats, slowly seducing the evil in their bodies, and finally dissecting them alive in the laboratory in order to find the true existence of demons.

What is even more shocking is that it is not difficult to see from Gordon's account that he has achieved extraordinary results, finding prominent tumors in the brains of multiple murderous demons, and lifting a black liquid through electrolyte methods, which will show active consciousness, as if it has life, but this autonomous consciousness is extremely short-lived, and it will stop after only a few days after leaving the body, and then disappear along with the black liquid.

Geng Daquan told Bao La about the fact that the laboratory was used for vivisection, and he was speechless with a face full of fear and remorse.

At this moment, something suddenly fell to the ground in the laboratory, and when Geng Daquan looked back, he found that it was the servant who was curious and accidentally knocked over a vessel containing formalin to the ground, and the soaked thing inside was also revealed, like a hideous head, under the long-term soaking, the facial complexion was as white as wax, and it was terrifying.

The sudden discovery made several people present silent, and they didn't know how to be for a while.

"Damn it!" Geng Daquan scolded in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't blame them, and tried to stop this person from touching it again. However, before he could step forward, suddenly, a black soft mass crawled out of his skull, like a bloodsucking leech in the field.

Everyone, including Bao La, witnessed this even more terrifying picture again. It happened in just a few seconds, and before anyone could react, the strange object like a leech squirmed towards the nearest person after leaving the head.

Looking at this strange picture, Geng Daquan's first reaction was Gordon's research results, and between the lightning and flint, he made an astonishing move, threw the torch in his hand, and jumped up with a "snort", and the entire laboratory was instantly surrounded by bright light, and shouted: "Run." ”

Darkness alternated with fire, and the panicked people instinctively ran outside, and when everyone had just escaped from the fire and fear, the empty scene outside surprised everyone again.
