Chapter 114: The Snake-Eater

Going back to the story written by Steven, the members of his brother-in-law Taylor's mysterious society believe in witchcraft, and during the war between the natives and the empire on which the sun never sets, although it is unknown what happened, it is clear that both sides used witchcraft.

Hundreds of years ago, this indigenous people, who mainly belonged to the Mikmik tribe, when they saw that their war to protect their clan land was about to lose, gathered the treasures of several tribes and hid them in the "Promised Land", and when the war was over, they could use the token to retrieve the treasure and glorify the tribe.

And the antiques found by the secret society are one of the tokens, with which you can obtain some of the treasures of this tribe.

After exploring the field, the people of the Secret Society found that the "Promised Land" was empty, and the treasure did not exist. It's not that the treasure has been taken, but the "treasure" of the aborigines, it doesn't seem to be the gold and silver treasures and antiques they imagined, but something invisible—it's the spirits, ghosts, and the like that their secret societies are chasing.

What they opened was Pandora's box.

As veteran members of the Secret Society, they also have some of their own means of saving their lives, and after killing the ghosts led by the tokens, several of them were able to return home safely. But the curse of the "Promised Land" was also planted on them.

After reading this story, Yi Anne sighed softly.

For her, who has watched a lot of horror movies, she guessed the ending almost from the beginning of the story, which is usually classified as a cult, in which explorers step by step into the trap set by evil religions in the process of exploration, and finally become sacrifices to evil gods.

However, for those who searched for the so-called mysterious truth decades ago, they were not so sensitive to the understanding of the "routine", so they rushed to the "promised land" they discovered, and then came out of there with a curse. Then, at a certain point in time, they died en masse......

Maybe they also knew their fate and tried to find a way to crack it, so they revealed the news about this incident to the news center.

But it didn't work out in the end.

It's just that, on the other hand, Iannie wondered again, since it was a secret society, why didn't she ask Inferno, who was a secret commissioner, for help?

According to Inferno, he has been a vampire for two or three hundred years, so when the members of the Secret Society had an accident, it was only more than thirty years ago, and Inferno should have taken root in Noor Province a long time ago.

"Knock knock!" The sound of a knock on the car window interrupted Anne's thoughts.

Anne took her eyes back from her phone and saw a person outside the window of the car wearing a black robe, with a black hood over his head, and the wind was blowing against his face. The huge black umbrella he held in his hand was completely useless, swaying violently in the wind, as if it would fall apart in the next moment. The white Roman collar peeking out of the black robe allowed Anne to identify the man, who seemed to be the pastor who had previously hosted the meeting with Steven's body.

At this time, Yi Annie suddenly realized that the parking lot she was in was very empty, and she didn't know when the people who had attended the body meeting had left.

If it weren't for the mobile phone in her hand still displaying the article sent by Noah, Yi Annie would have suspected that she had been daydreaming again.

She pulled down the window, and the voice of the pastor outside came in fragments in the wind and rain, and by the way, a large splash of rain was also sent into Yi Annie's car: "Why are you still here, go to the main complex!" ”

Anne nodded, but looked at another car in front of the church, which was the Bentley from Inferno.

The priest followed Anne's gaze and asked, "Do you know whose Bentley it is?" Do you know where the owner is? ”

Hearing the priest ask, Anne instantly realized that it seemed that Inferno had not returned. But if he and the priest were to tell the truth now that Inferno had gone to the rocky beach where Steven had an accident, it would have caused chaos again. After all, in such stormy waves, it is absolutely impossible for normal people to stay safely on the shore.

So Anne replied to the priest, "I seem to have seen the man take someone else's car to the main complex before it rains." ”

The priest wiped a handful of water from his face: "That's good, I'll drive you to the main complex now, you follow my car, now that the tide has hit the road, you have to be more careful." ”

Anne nodded in agreement, and when she saw the pastor walking towards her own car, she closed the window. Just a few words just now, Yi Annie, who was sitting in the car, was actually wet with half of her body by the rain that leaned in.

Helplessly complaining about why the pastor still had an umbrella, the next moment, the umbrella in the hand of the pastor walking in the wind and rain was blown over, and after trying to support it for a while, the black umbrella cloth also broke free from the shackles of the skeleton and disappeared in the storm in an instant.

The priest was stunned for a moment, and since he no longer had to fight with the umbrella for a ride, he moved much faster, and walked to his car in a few steps. Throwing the remaining umbrella skeleton into the back seat of the car, the pastor got into his car soaking wet, started the car, and slowly turned around and drove in the direction of the nursing home.

Yi Annie also started her car and slowly followed.

In the large lounge of the nursing home, the staff has prepared some hot drinks and simple meals, and most of the outsiders who were trapped in the nursing home by the sudden rainstorm have come to attend Steven's funeral, and now they are gathered again. After breaking away from the dreary atmosphere of the church, they began to talk eagerly.

Anne looked around, Steven's mother and her companion in the nursing home who had accompanied her were no longer there, and she had probably gone back to her place to rest.

Among the people who remained in the break room, Catherine was standing next to Steven's wife, Grace, and Steven's sister, chatting with them. After all, Catherine was probably the only woman of their age in the room.

Anne pulled from the top of a stack of dry white towels by the door and wiped her hair and clothes a little before entering the lounge.

The first thing she did was not to say hello to the people she knew inside, but to go straight to the drink table and pour herself a slightly hot cup of coffee, take a sip carefully, and then let her nerves, which had been tense, soothe her nerves a little.

Then, she settled down and walked towards Grace.

Compared to the others present, Anne was probably the strangest to Steven. Generally speaking, only those who are close to them will attend the body meeting, and the rest will attend the funeral at most.

But Yi Annie's position is really a little difficult to say, on the one hand, she is actually not familiar with Steven, and she has only met the successor of the position; But on the other hand, it was the succession of Steven's position that allowed Iannie to experience too many mysterious events in less than a month. At this time, coming to Steven's body meeting and funeral is like a tailing snake that starts with Steven and ends with Steven.

In fact, Anne could already sense that she was about to see the end of the matter.
