Chapter 16: Sacrifice and Doppelganger

Because of Charles's relationship, Nicole has converged a lot.

This made Alec very satisfied, and the two of them took care of the hotel affairs and focused on going to the Island City Prison again. The two key figures in Alec's entry into the Island City Jail, CIA agent Will have been dealt with, and now the prison warden Augusta is left. After discovering Augusta's whereabouts, the two intercepted him halfway, and then Nicole used [Mind Implantation] again to gain his support.

Now that the admission ticket has been obtained, Alec's next step is to infiltrate the prison and then hold the sacrificial ceremony.

……

Alec's chosen identity is that of a doctor.

Actually, he didn't know anything about medicine at all, but he knew magic. As long as you don't encounter incurable diseases and ordinary injuries, a simple [slow healing] can be solved.

After successfully infiltrating the Island City Prison, the next step is to set up the altar.

The altar used for sacrifice is not just a casual drawing of two strokes to announce the end of the service...... There is a strict procedure for the sacrifice of the devil, and if you take one wrong step, the whole ritual will be undone.

With the support of Augusta and Will, Alec made an exception and brought five crystal cups into prison. In addition to this, he brought in five palm-sized black stone tablets, a complete set of carving tools, a bag of gold and gemstone polished powder, a large amount of dollars, a small bag**, a lighter, and five knives engraved with runes.

These are all necessary items for the ceremony.

Soon, horrific sacrificial rituals unfolded in the prison.

The first to be killed was a 13-year-old boy charged with first-degree murder, having his throat slashed and then his genitals removed. Then he died a war criminal, guilty of massacre, and the death method was also to close the throat with a knife, and then his right hand was removed...... The sacrificial ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner, and the atmosphere of panic gradually spread, but the prison of the island city was heavily defended, and it was a real Jedi with wings that could not be escaped. The prisoners' revolt was quickly suppressed, and in the middle of the night on the fifth day, Alec did not attack the prisoners again, but instead attacked one of the prison guards.

The early work of the ceremony was completed.

In the middle of the night on the sixth day, Alec lit five candles with a soul fire.

Under the lilac candlelight, a small altar was placed in front of him, and in five crystal cups, there were five things needed for the launching ceremony: the genitals of a virgin, the hands of a thug, the ****, the tongue of an addict, and the eyes of a guardian.

The smell of terror is spreading.

A low, eerie incantation sounded, and Alec only read the beginning, and a strange and grand voice followed the incantation he had carved. After the incantation on the five black stone tablets was recited and all the lights in the prison were extinguished, a group of figures hidden under black robes appeared in the prison, holding lilac torches, taking the place of the prison guards and starting to patrol the prison.

……

The ceremony continued until dawn, when it was declared over.

Alec roughly counted that in just one night, one tenth of the prisoners in the prison died. There were nearly 20,000 inmates in the Island City Prison, that is, nearly 2,000 people died that night.

Even he felt his heart pounding.

As soon as the sacrificial ritual began, it was beyond Alec's control, and he had expected a hundred deaths, but the Will of Hell surprised him, taking a full two thousand lives. Even if these people deserve it, the death toll is inevitably too much...... It took the guards three full days to clear the bodies.

At the gate of the prison, there was a mountain of corpses.

The government quickly sent a plague investigation team, but the week-long investigation yielded no results.

The current Island City Prison has become even more eerie and terrifying than before, and as soon as you walk in, you can feel a chill to the bone. Alec knew that the prison would soon be turned upside down.

That's the undead.

The will of hell takes away fallen souls, but the resentment of death will not go away, and death will continue in this prison. Soon, undead creatures such as ghosts will be born, and when the time comes, this prison will be ten thousand times more terrifying than it is now.

This kind of major event happened in the prison, and the political career of the prison director was basically over, but unexpectedly, this incident did not have much impact on society. Two thousand prisoners died violently in one night, and the U.S. government sealed off the prison, explaining that there was a plague in the prison. The populace accepted this explanation with great ease, after all, it was hard to imagine what kind of force could take more than 2,000 lives in one night, except for the plague.

Only the guards and inmates of the Island City Prison knew how terrible that night really was.

Unfortunately, after the outbreak of the "plague", this place became a large prison cage, and neither prisoners nor prison guards could leave the island for half a step...... The truth is trapped in prison like this, and it is difficult to fly.

Soon.

The newly appointed director of the prison announced the confiscation of all electronic devices.

At the same time, a bunch of so-called "psychiatrists" came to the island and began to do "psychotherapy" from house to house, and only the prison guards who had completed the "treatment" could leave the island...... As for the fools who are loyal to the truth, they are trapped in the Island City prison. Watching colleagues succumb and watch colleagues leave, they can only hold on to the "truth" and miss their loved ones on the island.

Politics is always dirty, and in order to cover up the truth, they do everything.

But it had nothing to do with Alec, in fact, he was happy to see where it was now. For the devil, the aftermath of the sacrificial rite is troublesome, and the number of deaths is large, and it is always easy to leak...... Now, the government has done 90% of the job for him, and he only needs to use [Detect Lies] once on everyone who promised to keep it secret, and then pull out those who don't have the same heart and kick them back to prison.

……

The sacrificial ritual paid Alec a great reward.

This kind of reward is not directly revealed, but Alec clearly feels that Hell's favor for him has become stronger--it makes it easier for him to comprehend spells and use the abilities of the Hell Merchant more easily.

Half a month later, Alec left the prison.

The prison guards in the Island City Prison have basically left, and even the prisoners have done everything possible to transfer a group of them. Alec paid a certain price and left a doppelganger in the Island City Prison. The environment of this prison is really good, and even better is the attitude of the government, the combination of the two makes this a natural hunting ground, as long as he controls this prison, he has a stable source of souls.

……

After leaving the island, Alec quickly made ten deeds and gave them away.

Playboy Tony Stark gets one; Spider-Man Peter Parker gets one; Norman Osborne, the man at the helm of Osborne Enterprises, got one; Jessica Jones gets one; The last one fell into the hands of a university professor named Bruce Banner, the future famous green fat man.

As for the remaining five, Alec decided to gamble on his luck.

He threw the five contracts to the Will of Hell and sent them to other planes......
