203 Cult of the Southern Cross
According to the general plot, this kind of atmosphere, is there a ghost suddenly coming out from behind or something?
Lin Yue shone it with the flashlight in his hand and paid attention to the sound behind him.
In the messy room, there were no supernatural events.
It's just inexplicably cold.
It's like walking into a cold store, and the further you go inside, the colder it gets.
The coldest place was near the tattered little square cabinet in the innermost corner of the room.
Lin Yue cautiously walked to the side of the square cabinet.
On the square cabinet, there is a fashion magazine in the right place.
The counters were covered with dust, but the magazines were clean.
It's as if someone is deliberately here to open it and take a look.
Lin Yue was not interested in this kind of thing, and he had never learned about it, but since this thing looked so suspicious, he had to take a look.
He reached out and touched the magazine.
As soon as his hand touched the cover of the magazine, the magazine suddenly flipped quickly!
The sound of brushing the pages startled Lin Yue, and he took two steps back, staring coldly at the open magazine.
After turning dozens of pages, the magazine stopped on the inside page of an advertisement.
These two advertisements are about lipstick.
They are all DIOR's brands, four are introduced on the left, and one is highlighted on the right, with a line of bold words written below the lipstick "Brilliant Blue Gold 999".
And its price, less than 300.
Isn't 999 the price?
Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, and took out the same lipstick he had obtained earlier from his space ring.
This one is a lighter color, and it seems to be a bit similar to the 532 shade shown next to it.
Before Wang Xin said that this lipstick was at least 1,000 yuan, it should be a mistake to record the color number as the price, and the number 999 is indeed more like the price of the product.
Coupled with the expensive custom diamond ring and the image of a "strong woman" described by Wang Xin, Lin Yue's previous impression of the female ghost Bai Xinqian was that of a woman from a wealthy family.
But in fact, Lin Yue hadn't seen Bai Xinqian's photo with his own eyes, and the female ghost version that appeared just now had an eerie aura that overshadowed other features, and he couldn't see what her family background was.
But she used this lipstick very economically, and her shoes have been worn for a long time, no matter how you look at it, it is the living habits of ordinary well-off families, and the family background should not be particularly good. Flash Dance
Then, expensive custom diamond rings don't seem to fit her style very well, and diamond rings are not a store of value, but a luxury.
The cause of her death is eighty percent...... It's because of the money.
Lin Yue pondered this, and his hands were not idle, and he rummaged through the corpse neatly.
In this room, there is also no room to hide a corpse, and there is no dark room.
Lin Yue, who found nothing, immediately began to search the third room.
This time, Lin Yue quickly found a passage to the underground in the third room!
The passage wasn't very hidden, the entrance was crushed under a broken couch, and it was unlocked.
When he found this passage, Lin Yue was still a little happy, but when he saw that it was not locked, Lin Yue felt that there would be no clues below.
If it was really a place where the corpses were hidden, it would definitely be more hidden.
But Lin Yue couldn't let go of any place.
I shone it with a flashlight, and there was a staircase under the passage, and at the end of the stairs was a small basement, and the whole basement could be seen at a glance.
It doesn't seem to be dangerous.
Lin Yue walked into the basement.
The basement is only about ten square meters, very small, and there are three paintings hanging on the wall, each of which is burnt, and it can only be seen that it is a painting of characters and scenes, but the faces and scenes of the characters are burned, and it is impossible to see what they want to express.
In the corner of the wall were piles of miscellaneous items and a dozen stones, which were pitch black, as if they were coal or something.
In the center of the basement was a tattered easel with a few yellowed pieces of paper, and next to it were bottles and cans, as well as some tattered brushes.
Picking up a few of the small jars, Lin Yue checked them and found that the jars were pasted with a layer of dried paint, which had dried and hardened into cakes, and shattered into dozens of pieces with a slight knock on the ground.
This is exactly what the normal paint looks like when it dries out, nothing special.
If you want to say something special, there is only that black metal jar.
This black jar is a standard cylindrical shape, which can hold about three or four liters of water, and there is no paint in it, but the flashlight shines through, and you can see some uneven marks on the bottom of the jar. Flash Dance
When you touch it with your hand, there is also a thin layer of stuff at the bottom of the jar.
Buckled a piece and crushed it between his fingers, Lin Yue's brows furrowed.
It was not as if it were paint, but dried blood.
The inner wall of the black jar also has a thin layer of bloody skin, and there are still some marks up to the very top of the jar, proving that it was once full.
Wait a minute......
The capacity of this jar ...... Just enough to hold all the blood in an adult's body.
Although Lin Yue did not have much contact with religion, he had heard a little about using human blood to paint, which seemed to be a common means of channeling in some cults.
Lin Yue rummaged carefully in the basement.
Finally, he found a few crooked symbols drawn on the wall, confirming the cult's conjecture.
On the six-pointed star, there is a pair of sheep's horns, which is an overseas cult that Lin Yue once dealt with, the "Southern Cross Divine Cult".
Lin Yue originally thought that the cause of Bai Xinqian's death was relatively simple, and it was a grudge over money, but this new clue made Lin Yue a little confused.
One of the more famous behaviors of the Southern Cross Cult is that each member of the cult will use his own blood as paint to paint a psychic painting of his own, and if the psychic painting is damaged, it proves that the god they believe in will bring disaster.
The only way to overcome the calamity is to sacrifice a young and beautiful virgin, paint a new psychic painting with her blood, and then burn the original psychic painting of the cultists.
Thinking of this, Lin Yue took a deep breath.
Trouble.
The reason why the Southern Cross Cult is called a cult is because of this sacrifice.
The method of sacrifice was to divide the body of the young virgin alive, divide it into sixty-four pieces, and then roast it into charcoal, press it into pieces with a machine and throw it away.
If that's the case......
Lin Yue looked at the pile of "stones" in the corner of the wall and frowned.
Holding back the nausea, Lin Yue checked the "coke".
Piercing the "coke" with scissors, this thing is very hard, but fortunately, Lin Yue retains 30 points of combat power, and his strength is relatively large, and it takes a little effort to pierce the scissors into it.
When the scissors are pulled out, some muscle fibers are brought out on the blade.
This...... Bacheng is Bai Xinqian's corpse, right?
After counting, there are fifteen pieces here.
After examining these charred pieces of flesh, Lin Yue couldn't determine whether they were human flesh or not, so he put them all into the space ring first, and planned to take them to Feng Mo for identification later.
While cleaning up these pieces of meat, some memories surfaced in Lin Yue's mind.
Lin Yue had only been in contact with the Southern Cross Divine Sect once before, but that time had become a lingering nightmare for him.
During the five years he served in the army, the religious forces in the country were very weak, and the reason for the war was political civil strife, and the few remaining religious forces also fled after the war.
Occasional cult activities are also very primitive local sects, and they are bloody and brutal, but they are not systematic, and they cannot become a big climate, and in many cases, an army can sweep through them, and this kind of small cult can be wiped out.
In addition, Lin Yue's country, Pangu Kingdom, has a special environment and almost no religious forces, so he doesn't know much about the harm of cults.
The Southern Cross Cult is a "specialty" of Europe, with its own system, which at first glance looks no different from ordinary religions, is extremely hidden, and is not easy to be eliminated.
The incident of the Southern Cross Cult that Lin Yue had come into contact with broke out from a friendly European army, which was a team from a Germanic country.
In an environment where the battlefield is oppressive, war distorts human nature, and what happens in the war zone slowly eats away at people's hearts, many Germanic soldiers choose to comfort their hearts with religion.
As a result, among them, several members of the Southern Cross Cult were mixed in.
There are many specious contents in the canons of these cultists, as if they correspond to everything on the battlefield, forming a kind of "prophecy", and this cult has succeeded in seducing a group of soldiers who are being devastated by it.
Originally, this cult could not cause any major trouble, but one day, the psychic paintings carried by the first batch of missionaries were lost.
Under the bewitchment of a crazy cultist, the other cultists thought that this was a heretic against them, and under this reason, they tortured and beat the three people who had a bad relationship on weekdays, and tortured the three to death.
After their evil deeds were exposed, they hijacked the arsenal of the garrison base in a hot head, and the road they embarked on impulsively gave them no chance to turn back.
In the end, they could only choose to kill a large number of people in an attempt to cover up the truth, but the result was that the depiction became more and more black, and they could only kill more people to keep their mouths shut.
After a frenzied bloody killing, the entire garrison was slaughtered, and the cultists found themselves unable to clear their name, so they simply betrayed their country.
In the later stages of the bloody slaughter, some Germanic soldiers appealed to Lin Yue and their forces for help.
As a result, when Lin Yue and the soldiers of one of their companies arrived, they only saved two alive.
The base of the Germanic army was covered with blood and dead bodies.
Of the army of more than 100 people, except for the dozen or so cultists who escaped, there were only two alive left, which is embarrassing.
Those who were killed were all non-cult believers, and this midnight slaughter from within made it impossible for the normally well-trained fighters to fight back in time.
The way they died was particularly tragic.
Most of them suffered a ** dismemberment and died before the end of the dismemberment.
Those who lasted until the end of the dismemberment were qualified offerings, reduced to pieces of charred flesh.
At that time, Lin Yue was still a recruit, although he was mentally prepared, he was still disgusted by that scene and vomited three times, and had nightmares for two days in a row.
Those memories are not usually deliberately remembered, but once they are recalled now, it is difficult to expel them from one's own mind.
Images flashed through his mindโ
Public baths littered with mangled corpses, lecture halls smeared with blood, messy Germanic words smeared with blood on the walls of the hallways......
With the appearance of these memories, Lin Yue could clearly feel that his heart was beating faster, his chest was tight, and the air around him seemed to be sucked away, even if he was breathing heavily, it seemed that the oxygen was not enough.
He understood that this was the fear in his heart and one of the knots in his heart.
His fear of bloody scenes had a lot to do with it.
But even if he knows where his problems are, it doesn't mean that he can overcome them on his own.
Under his restraint, his ability to withstand blood has become much stronger, but this time is different.
Damn it...... Why is this female ghost related to the Southern Cross Cult? Is it just such a coincidence? Or is this a deliberate setting by the reincarnation world that has searched for his memory?
