Chapter 455: Who is the Murderer?
“……”
Almost everyone present involuntarily fought a few cold wars. In fact, to be honest, for these people, after experiencing a considerable number of outrageous things that they can't even think of in nightmares, this kind of thing is not the most frightening of them. But the main point is that in some cases, the "just right" divergent thinking can push you again.
Although the executioner, Theron, appeared to be a lone wolf, and people didn't know him well or know his identity until then. But in such a strange and unknown environment, these peers, who may not be able to fully empathize, are not so much feeling remorse and sadness for Theron as trying to convince themselves.
"This ...... Who would have thought this would happen, and you can't blame us entirely......"
Song Shuang was the first to react and muttered a few times.
The rest of the executioners had different expressions, and some of them couldn't say a word with their lips open and closed, and their last fist slammed on the bed under them as if venting their anger, wiping their faces fiercely.
Qiu Xuan stood in the center and took in everyone's faces, and she raised her hand and pressed her temples with a look of tiredness, recalling the scene she had seen in the cabinet in the utility room before.
In fact, there is nothing special, she just saw the "man-eating monster" raised in the church with her own eyes.
It is said that in some remote areas, far from the central church, local churches still maintain some out-of-the-box and unbelievable customs and traditions. The background of the rest is not necessary for the time being, but in short, there seems to be a faint rumor in this small place that the only church in town houses a man-eating monster.
At that time, Qiu Xuan had been waiting in the cabinet for about half an hour, and finally heard the sound of the rope outside, she turned her eyes to the corpse on the ground that was hanged alive by the chainsaw man, and saw a "person" slowly crawling out of the shadows.
At the moment of seeing that "person", Qiu Xuan almost lost control of the expression on his face, just because his appearance and body appearance were too amazing and terrifying, and at first glance, it was impossible to tell whether it was a human form or a wolf child who grew up in a group of beasts.
The man crawling forward on all fours quickly approached the corpse of the impostor priest on the ground, and he ate first from one of the corpse's hands, and slowly fell to all fours, but never touched the middle torso.
When he had finished eating, he pulled out the tongue from his mouth and chewed it again, and then the man burped contentedly, and slowly dragged the remaining torso out of the confines of the utility room.
Qiu Xuan moved her body and wanted to step out of the cabinet to follow, but she suddenly froze in the next second.
She saw a pair of eyes suddenly appear outside the crack in the old closet, and those eyes appeared there at some point, staring straight at herself in the closet without blinking.
Qiu Xuan subconsciously clenched the jade pendant in her hand tightly, and then she realized that it was useless, after all, the ugly jade pendant was only used to hide the "qi" of a living person, and it did not mean that you could make your whole person disappear invisible.
She swallowed slowly, her gaze moving up to the eyes outside the cupboard.
……
"We've all thought of the whole thing a little too simply, or rather, some people too simply."
Qiu Xuan sat back beside Ya, she casually propped up a noise barrier, and shook her head with her fingers. "On the surface, we all thought that the gang of gangsters who killed the whole church and impersonated them were 'wicked people', but who knows, didn't that gang just escape from City B with their front feet and enter the wolf's den with their back feet?"
"Those eyes belong to Selena."
Qiu Xuan looked at Ya and Ed, who looked surprised, and sighed softly.
"It's Selena who is secretly raising that man-eating monster, and the fake priest killed by the chainsaw man this time, including the fake nun in the toilet before, their bodies were all eaten by the monster that Selena raised. And, when he was alone in the afternoon, Theron also died because of it. It's just that he struggled for a moment before he died and ran back, but he ......"
She didn't say any more, but Ya and Eddard couldn't bear to think about it anymore.
It's pretty clear at this point. A gang of gangsters killed people and ran away in City B, arrived at a nearby remote church before the sea was closed, and did not hesitate to kill all the clergy in the church in order to hide their identities. It's just that they didn't expect to kill everyone, but because of an accident, they let go of the most dangerous one of them - the nun who raised man-eating monsters in the church, Selena.
So far, it can be said that this is a story of stopping evil with evil, and the gangsters have come to this point as a kind of retribution.
They probably sorted out the cause and effect of the whole incident, Ya frowned and pondered for a while, and said, "But even if we know this, how are we going to end this and go back?" Do you still have to start with Selena? ”
"It's also possible from that monster."
Qiu Xuan sighed, "Just now, I don't know if Selena didn't know if it was me or if she saw it but pretended not to see it. Anyway, she ran over and looked inside the cupboard, and as if there was no such person as me, she turned to deal with the mess left behind by the monster after eating the corpse. I saw that she was very skilled in cleaning, and it didn't look like the first time she had helped the monster clean up the aftermath. When she was done, she left, and I crept up to take a look, and she was walking back to her room on the right-hand side. ”
"Do you think the gangsters found out about it?"
"It's hard to say, but after a long time, they should be suspicious when they find out that their two companions have completely disappeared, and this is one of the things I am worried about now." Qiu Xuan said, "It is impossible for them to suspect Selena, because under normal circumstances, no one would suspect Selena at all, and they can't think of the matter of man-eating monsters, so the object of suspicion can only be us as outsiders." ”
"They're going to blame us for the disappearance of their companions, so now...... Either strike first, or find a way to find that monster again. ”
"If I had to choose, I would definitely choose the former." Ya said, "No one knows what that monster is now, but that gang of gangsters, no matter how vicious, is a group of living people. If we do fight, we will definitely have the advantage. ”
Qiu Xuan shook her head, "That's not necessarily...... I can't say it, anyway, let's keep a few minds. ”
However, there was no time for them to think deeply, and a few minutes later, there was a clattering of the door. This time it was no longer the strange knock that made me feel chilling when I thought about it, but it really belonged to a group of gangsters in a state of anger.
It was still the door opened by the stout man before, and I saw a "priest" with an angry face standing outside the door, and the rest of the figures I had seen on the long table before were all standing behind him.
"I hope you can give us an explanation." "Two of our companions are missing, and this afternoon the big one of you was seen washing his hands in the bathroom, and the water was covered in blood. ”
He snapped his head at the Chainsaw Man who was standing in the corner silently, and the rest of the executioners, who didn't know what was going on, all turned their heads to look.
"We don't mean to cause trouble, but we want to be treated fairly." The false priest raised his hand and pressed his left chest, as if it were a priest trying to get justice for his fellow believers. "You have to give an explanation."
Bai also played a few rounds, and the conversation turned straight to the chainsaw man over there. "What the hell is going on, you can explain it quickly, maybe it's just a misunderstanding."
The chainsaw man didn't even glance at him, automatically ignoring Bai Yi's somewhat gloomy face, his face wearing a restraint mask turned to the false priest, and said lightly: "If you don't like him, kill him." ”
The other executioners had already insulted the chainsaw man in their hearts or on their faces, Qiu Xuan dragged his arm and quickly thought about the several consequences that might be caused after a while, and suddenly felt that the chainsaw man's behavior at this moment could be said to be intentional.
He doesn't seem to be exactly what he appears to be.
Sure enough, in the ranks of fake clergy posed by the gangsters, there were offensive and angry expressions on people's faces.
The false priest at the head stepped forward, his face flushed.
Qiu Xuan blended in the crowd and suddenly put a cold gun in the opposite direction.
The sudden gunfire aroused the emotions of everyone present, and the gangster team over there finally realized something, completely tore the skin and jar, and wanted to kill people to cover up the crime.
Few people saw that in the room where the scuffle suddenly began, Ya glanced at Qiu Xuan with an extremely complicated expression, and after a while, he said in a dumb voice: "The shot you just fired ...... How? ”
Qiu Xuan gave a look back, "You don't know how to shoot at all." ”
Ya: "Say it again??? ”
Qiu Xuan slipped away from her in time. She didn't go too far, and she didn't choose to completely protect Eddard, but she just fell next to Ed not far away, watching the other party fight in the crowd in a slightly immature way.
I don't know how many more people will die, and it will attract the monster that hides in the church to eat people.
Qiu Xuan mixed in the crowd and made up a few knives from time to time. She finally found out that the gang of gangsters who pretended to come in seemed to be transforming at the moment of crisis, only to see the bizarre and treacherous human bodies and tissues flying around in this scene, staring at it for a long time, and even having an illusion that their sanity was declining.
Why on earth do normal humans become like this?
Or is it just that their "senses" are being affected by some kind of unclear influence, and they are hallucinating?
It seemed that after the first corpse in the crowd had fallen, some of them began to faintly hear the sound of clucking and grinding their teeth coming from outside the door.
Qiu Xuan broke away from the crowd in time, and dragged Ed over and put him behind the door, hiding his body and waiting for the monster to appear.
And when the terrifying figure of the man-eating monster reappeared in people's field of vision, out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to faintly see one of the fake nuns twisted into noodles and pull something out of her chest.
When I looked closely, I saw that it was actually a bottle of holy water.
Holy?
At that moment, Qiu Xuan thought that he had seen it wrong, or maybe they had snatched the holy water from the murdered bishop in City B? While coming up with a reasonable explanation, Qiu Xuan saw that the fake "priest" led by him had an extra pistol engraved with a cross pattern in his hand.
She had only seen this pistol on the heavily armed clergy leaders of St. Canaan, and it was only qualified for insiders. Even before they die, they will choose to destroy the guns with one last bit of time, just to keep them from falling into the hands of the outside world.
Qiu Xuan's whole person stopped in place, she looked at it, and an absurd idea suddenly appeared in her heart.
“……”
It seems that all along, they had a preconceived belief that because the gang pretended to be the people in the original church, they were the ones who killed the original clergy.
But what if they didn't kill people at all?
Qiu Xuan suddenly pushed Ed to Ya's side with her backhand, bypassed the man-eating monster lying in the center of the room, and rushed towards the door.
The nun, Selena, walked slowly out of the room on her right, and as she stepped into the hallway, she seemed to take a moment to turn around and make sure she was in the right direction, and then she walked towards the room.
"Webb."
She shouted softly in that direction.
The man-eating monster, or rather, the man named "Weber", stood up from the ground licking the blood little by little. He didn't seem to be familiar with how to stand on two legs, and he adjusted himself for a moment before he staggered into the room.
The only remaining survivor, the "impostor" "priest", paused in his twisted body and pulled his firearm from the magazine again.
"It turned out to be you."
He said in a hoarse voice, spurting a mouthful of blood from his mouth with each word. In the end, the "priest" couldn't hold it anymore, spewed out a mouthful of blood, and shook and knelt on the ground.
Song Shuang took the opportunity to aim his gun at the person on the ground. "Let's kill him. I just heard Selena call that monster 'Weber', do you think he could be the psycho of St. Canaan?" ”
His hand with the gun was shot by another, more precise bullet, and Song Shuang dropped the gun screaming, looking in that direction with red eyes.
Ya looked back at the garbage, turned his wrist, and the muzzle of the gun passed over the "Webb" in the center and pointed at Selena standing in the doorway.
"It turned out to be you, and you were the ones who committed the murder in City B."
Qiu Xuan slipped to the "priest" and squatted down, silently stuffing a mouthful of recovery potion into his mouth.
