Chapter 1: The Dirty Hudson River

Next Chapter

The Hudson River is a 507-kilometer-long river in the state of New York, USA, originating in the Adirondack Mountains and flowing into New York Harbor, which is the economic lifeblood of New York State.

However, this does not mean that the Hudson River is beautiful, in fact, when the banks of the river are lined with factories, the industrial sewage is also discharged directly into the river, and in those days, no life in the river will survive.

Fortunately, after the beginning of a new round of industrial revolution, those highly polluting and energy-intensive factories began to close down one after another, and the Hudson River began to gradually return to its original state.

The abandoned factory workshops and docks on the banks of the river, which have been unattended for a long time, have slowly become the highland of some dark events in New York.

Of course, most dark incidents occur in the dark night, especially on rainy nights, and heavy rain will wipe out most of the incriminating evidence, making it impossible for the police to investigate.

A black SUV drove into an abandoned factory on the bank of the Hudson River on such a rainy night, and the car was very skillfully parked on the bank of the river, and it seemed that the driver had been here more than once.

"Hell, it's raining so hard today, hey, come down and help." A tall white man got out of the cab, cursed the weather, and then turned around and shouted into the car.

"Okay, okay." Another thinner man also tightened his collar and got out of the co-pilot, "This is unfortunate weather." ”

The rain was pouring down, and the two had no intention of chatting, so they walked quickly to the back of the car and opened the back door of the SUV.

With the back door of the car to block the rain, the thin man felt a little better, but he still pouted when he looked at the large travel bag that was constantly squirming in the car, "What the hell is this kid doing, he needs to be so troublesome." ”

"Hmph, the boss is going to run for the district council recently, and this kid saw something he shouldn't see, and called the police, and the boss said that he would dispose of him without leaving a trace."

"Call the police?" The thin boy exclaimed in surprise and looked around, "Then won't this kid's disappearance arouse the suspicion of the police?" ”

"Don't worry, this unlucky guy happened to bump into a guy from the 47th precinct, half of the police station there are our people, and his police are not recorded, but in order to prevent him from talking nonsense elsewhere, he still has to be dealt with."

When the thin man suddenly realized, the travel bag in the car moved more violently, and the people inside obviously heard the conversation between the two men, but it was only in vain, not to mention that he was now thrown in the bag with his hands tied behind his back, even if he was not restrained, he could not be the opponent of the two men outside.

Tied to the bag was a young man named Kane Zhou, a Chinese named Zhou Ang in Chinese, who had just passed his 20th birthday.

He went to college in New York and worked as a bartender in a bar in his spare time, and last night, when he closed as usual and threw the garbage into the back alley, he spotted a dirty scene: a bald man was lying on top of a girl doing nasty things, while two big men grabbed the girl's hand tightly and covered her mouth.

Looking at the girl's helpless eyes and tears, Kane took advantage of the three men's stunned frenzied run towards the alley, coincidentally, a police car on night patrol happened to pass by the alley, he rushed into the police car regardless of the danger, and reported what he saw to the two policemen.

However, things didn't go according to the normal flow he imagined, and the two policemen on duty took out their guns after seeing the two big men chasing out of the alley, but when he thought they would catch the two accomplices, he felt a pain in the back of his head, and then fell into darkness in front of him.

When he woke up again, it was still pitch black in front of him, and his hands were still tied behind his back, and his mouth was also glued to the tape, and through the sounds around him, he found himself in a car, and soon, the car stopped, and the voices of two men came from above, and he knew that the two patrolmen were the legendary black policemen, and they happened to be bribed by the people he bumped into.

Kane is strong by nature, and even in such a predicament, he did not despair, but kept groping in the bag, trying to find a way to escape.

However, as an ordinary person, the possibility of escaping from the hands of professional criminals is too low, these two guys were originally the people in the gang who were responsible for handling some dirty work, Kane was not the first, and definitely not the last, to die at their hands.

The tall white man ignored the churning Kane, beckoned the thin man and grabbed the end of the travel bag, skillfully tying a heavy dumbbell to it, and then he and the thin man grabbed the end of the bag and lifted Kane out.

Kane, who was in the bag, sensed something was wrong, and writhed more violently, but his movements did not cause much trouble to the two men, and they still carried him to the shore with great speed, and threw the bag into the Hudson River with a swing.

The heavy dumbbells quickly sank to the bottom of the river with the travel bags, and when you looked closely, there were several similar travel bags piled up under the river, all with dumbbells tied to each end, and they were all covered with moss, and it seemed that they had been here for some time.

Boom, a splash of mud and sand, the travel bag wrapped in Kane sank to the bottom of the river, a large amount of drinking water poured into the bag, from Kane's mouth and nose into his lungs, in a few seconds, he was unconscious, his body stopped struggling.

The two murderers on the shore looked down, and after making sure that there would be no accidents, they turned and got into the car and drove away.

However, at this moment, in the middle of the travel bags at the bottom of the river, a dark stone began to glow red, a dark red light like dirty blood, as if it were coming from the center of the stone, and flashed as if breathing.

As the red light on the stone flickered, a gray gas gradually seeped out of Kane's travel bag, drifting towards the stone.

The red light in the stone flashed faster and faster, and the speed of gray gas penetration gradually accelerated, and the color also deepened, and slowly, a gray-white phantom floated out of the travel bag, showing a human form, from the face, vaguely Kane's appearance.

Seeing that the gray shadow was about to completely burrow out of Kane's body, a burst of golden light suddenly emitted from his chest, and with the appearance of the golden light, the gray shadow that seemed to be Kane drilled out of his body a little slower, but unfortunately, this golden light looked very weak, which could only slow down the speed of the gray shadow entering the stone, but could not completely prevent it from continuing to pull the gray shadow.

As the last bit of Kane's gray shadow left his body, Kane's chest let out a slight popping sound, and the golden light also drilled into the gray shadow from his chest, and was absorbed by the red stone.

When Kane's grey shadow was all in the stone, the stone stopped glowing, and calm returned to the riverbed, waiting for the next unfortunate man.
