Rorschach frowned, according to the old man Angie who met in the warehouse, those small town fishermen have fish scales in their abdomen, and now Paul also has fish scales on his body, is he a descendant of the townspeople?
At this point, Stryker stepped forward, bent down to stare at the scales in Paul's abdomen, looked at them for a moment, and then waved his hand in front of Paul's eyes.
But Paul, who was sedated, was in a trance and did not respond.
After looking at it for a while, Stryker straightened up, smiled excitedly, and said:
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it...... The discovery of actually breaking the biological isolation is really shocking. ”
"Isn't he genetically mutated?" The saber-toothed tiger pointed to Paul's abdomen.
"It's not." Stryker shook his head, "He's not a mutant, and he's not even human. ”
"That's a monster?" The saber-toothed tiger's eyes lit up.
"Yes." Stryker nodded and commanded, "Get him in the car, and we'll head to Impoca Town." ”
The two GIs immediately picked Paul up and dragged him to the Humvee.
Rorschach walked up to Stryker and asked:
"Wouldn't it be dangerous to take him there? Now it seems that Paul came here to be carefully designed, and their purpose was to get him. ”
"You have a point." Stryker nodded, "That's why I took him with me, maybe he'll be a hole card when we reclaim our "property." ”
"What exactly is property?" Rorschach asked.
Rorschach's questioning also aroused the curiosity of the saber-toothed tiger, who bared his teeth and looked at Stryker.
Stryker looked at Rorschach and the Sabertooth Tiger and smiled:
"Get in the car and say, now that it's been confirmed that the property still exists, I should tell you some specific information."
Afterwards, everyone stepped onto the Humvee, and Rorschach, Stryker, and Sabertooth Tiger shared one.
The convoy left the port town and headed for the town of Imoca at the southern tip of the island.
……
Rorschach sat in the back of the Humvee, his body swaying with the body, a six-seater car, with the saber-toothed tiger sitting diagonally opposite him, showing a defiant gaze from time to time, and Stryker sitting in the passenger seat, his hand on the on-board computer monitor.
As soon as the convoy leaves the port town, Stryker begins to tell them some information about the "property".
It turned out that after World War I, the Sam Nation military found an aquatic amphibious humanoid creature covered in scales and living in water in the wilderness area of South America, and after capturing this strange creature, the military transported it to a secret laboratory for research.
But what I didn't expect was that one day this strange creature actually escaped from the laboratory, and after investigation, it turned out to be a mute female cleaner working in the laboratory to help it escape. After some pursuit, finally at a pier, the strange creature jumped into the sea with a mute girl and disappeared.
More than ten years later, the military discovered the whereabouts of the mute girl again, and found the lair of the strange creature by touching the vine, but in the capture, the mute girl died, and the strange creature escaped again, and through the autopsy, it was found that the mute girl's body had been scaled.
Moreover, in the lair of the strange creature, many children's toys, books and other items were also found, and it was widely speculated at the time that the mute girl and the strange creature had combined and gave birth to offspring.
After hearing this, Rorschach frowned and asked:
"If Paul is the offspring of a strange creature, it's not very dangerous for us to take him with us, why don't we give him away first?"
"Because his blood is very thin." Stryker turned his head and smiled, "I even suspect that his body started to mutate because he came to this island. ”
"You mean strange creatures on this island?"
"I don't know." Stryker shrugged, "But even if it's not there, there should be someone here who really inherits its bloodline, presumably the so-called Poseidon Priest, and our goal is to catch it and bring it back." ”
The saber-toothed tiger then asked:
"So is there anything to pay attention to in this operation?"
Stryker thought for a moment and replied:
"Once the target is confirmed, feel free to do anything other than the target."
When the saber-toothed tiger heard this, he grinned cruelly, raised his hand and scratched his beard with his fingernails.
"So you can slaughter those guys?"
"It's up to you." Stryker smiled.
Rorschach narrowed his eyes and silently looked at the saber-toothed tiger and Stryker, these two guys don't take human life seriously at all, it seems that Stryker is preparing to use Paul as a bait and then capture the Poseidon priest, and he shouldn't have told the whole truth, there must be other reasons, and the next thing can only be to act at the opportunity to protect the safety of civilians.
As the convoy drove into the town of Impoca, the town was shrouded in darkness, with all the houses unlit and not even the street lights on.
Rorschach looked out the window, under the "hunter tracking", there was no humanoid dot around, where did the people go? He raised an eyebrow, his heart sinking that the town wasn't like that when he and Paul left.
The convoy slowly stopped, and everyone got out of the car, and Stryker stood beside the car and looked around.
The saber-toothed tiger sniffed and said:
"It's fishy everywhere, it smells so bad that I don't smell humans."
"It's okay, let's go around here first." Stryker smiled nonchalantly, turned to the GI next to the last Humvee, and said, "Take that boy down." ”
The GI nodded, and pulled Paul from the car.
The sedatives had not yet worn off, and Paul was still delirious.
Rorschach looked at Paul, shook his head, and said to Stryker:
"I'll take a look around first."
"Okay." Stryker agreed, instructing, "Keep talking." ”
"Understood." Rorschach put on his tactical headset and adjusted the channel.
When the saber-toothed tiger saw that he was about to leave the team, he also said on the side:
"I'm going to see where these rats are hiding."
Stryker nodded, and began to assign search areas. With the exception of Rorschach and the Sabertooth Tiger, the others began to search the surroundings in teams of three.
Rorschach left the group, armed with an assault rifle, and walked into an alley, but Stryker didn't give him a crew, which was what he wanted.
After walking through the alley and walking around the town for a long time, the "Hunter Tracking" finally showed five humanoid dots, and Rorschach hurriedly approached the dots.
Soon, Rorschach was near the dot, the only church in the town that he had visited.
Entering the "stealth" state in the hidden place, Rorschach stepped up the steps of the church and gently pushed open the wooden door, and the chapel was empty and silent.
Passing through the chapel, Rorschach made his way to the rest room at the back and saw a staircase leading to the basement, with faint shouts coming from below.
He crept down the stairs, and at the bottom was a passage with torches on one side and three wooden doors on the other, and the sound came from the innermost wooden door.
Rorschach hurriedly walked to the wooden door, which was hidden, and he looked inside.
Inside, there was a stone room similar to a torture room, with a brazier in the corner, and two men tied to the cross with their hands outstretched, one was the old man Angie whom Rorschach met in the warehouse, and the other was a white young man with glasses.
In the center of the stone room, a middle-aged priest in a black robe stood in front of a wooden tool table, selecting tools. There were also two bald men dressed as five big butchers and three rough butchers standing on both sides, and the two big men were expressionless and pale.
The young man in glasses seemed to have just woken up, looked around in horror, and shouted:
"Who are you? What are you going to do? ”
The middle-aged priest raised his head, looked at the young man with glasses and smiled:
"You will die in the town of Imboca, eternally alive in the sea...... We are the people of the god of the sea......"
"Leave me alone!" The young man in glasses shouted in panic, "I can write you a check for a million!" No! Ten million! As long as you let me go! ”
The middle-aged priest walked up to the young man in glasses, smiled slightly, and said lightly:
"We've got more gold, and your little money is nothing."
"Oh! No! Please! ”
The middle-aged priest shook his head, returned to his workbench, and picked up a dagger, which was made of gold and shining brightly. He raised his dagger, lowered his eyes, and slowly opened his mouth, and a strange and inexplicable syllable sound sounded in his mouth.
