Volume II: The Body Snatchers Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Returning to the mysterious and eerie cemetery where the robbers lived, Walker led us to the entrance to a catacomb, where he walked to a stone angel next to the stone door of the tomb, reached into the palm of the statue, and pressed the secret switch on it to open a rotating stone door. www.biquge.info As we walked in, the wall lamps on both sides of the dark corridor suddenly lit up automatically, illuminating the corridor.

It looks ancient, everything is in the Gothic style of the 17th century, and the corridors of black and white marble are lined with statues of angels, demons and victims in various shapes and shapes, some of which have blood and tears in their eyes, flowing down their cheeks and necks to the soles of their feet, seeping into the cracks of the stone bricks, exuding an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

"This tomb was built centuries ago. Volcker said.

"Can you tell us who built it?" I asked.

"You don't know?" he thought it was naΓ―ve for me to ask.

My heart suddenly lit up, "My father." ”

Frank was also excited, "Is it really him?"

"It seems that your father did not tell you. Volcker said.

"What was his purpose in building this tomb?" I asked, "is it for you to guard this place?"

"The purpose is to establish a base for the Underworld Society here, so that the Underworld Society can live for a long time, multiply for a long time, and then distribute to various regions. But this is only the first step towards dominating the continent of America. ”

"Where did all those Underworld Guilds go?"

"Ever since the arrival of the Europa colonists and pioneers, who have made their home here, the Underworld will drive humanity out of the land, and Henks has led his men to massacre and harass the colonists and pioneers here, which has led to the colonists and pioneers joining forces to eliminate the vampires. ”

"Why did my father slaughter those outsiders?"

"Because it was the colonists who settled here that made the vampires' living area smaller and smaller. Colonists built estates, railroads, cut down forests, and even sparked wars, as greedy colonists encroached on vampire territory. In the end, the colonists did not take advantage of anything. ”

"Did the vampires defeat the colonists?"

"No, because those colonizers come from many countries, and they fight here for their own interests, so that the war continues for years. The vampires went into hiding from the fighting. It wasn't until the American Federation of Nations Revolutionary War that vampires reappeared, especially in St. Augustine, Goddess Bay, New Orleans, and Boston, which were the places where vampires were most active. With the advent of witchers, new and terrifying weapons capable of dealing with vampires have also appeared. The first vampire-witch showdown in the continent of America began. We came to this tomb to avoid the search of the demon hunters. ”

"Who won the war between vampires and witchers you just talked about?"

"Until the end of the Civil War, vampires did not take advantage of anything, their numbers were dwindling, and many inexperienced vampires died under the new weapons of the witchers. The witchers gradually gained the upper hand, and it was not the new weapons that gave them confidence but the tempting money. The Dark Realm here will be declining, but fortunately, Henks's aces have not been killed by the Witchers. In desperation, Henks could only leave the American Federation with some of his old ministries who had followed him for many years. After the vampires gradually went into hiding, the witchers lost their jobs, and there was no employer to ask them to kill the vampires. Until now, there are not many witchers left in America, Europa, and even the world, and with their current strength, they can't threaten the Underworld Society, and the appearance of the evil spirit party and werewolves has added more opponents to the witchers. ”

Walker explains the history of the place and takes us deeper into the tomb. This corridor is very long, nearly a hundred meters, and it seems that no one here knows about it except for some of the Underworld Society and these corpse robbers.

"Didn't my father leave anything here?" asked Frank.

With a look of uncertainty on his face, Volcker said, "To be honest, no one has been here since they left, and I can't say for sure what he left behind, but he took some books on the history of vampires with him when he left, and some information on the development of new weapons should still be here." ”

We soon reached the end of the hallway, with two doors covered in dust and cobwebs. Volcker easily opened the door, which seemed to have been unlocked, and as we entered, a musty smell came over us, and we lit torches that lit up the room, which was covered in a thick layer of dust and cobwebs.

Walker continued: "I only know that the books here are mainly about the study of witchers and werewolves, and some are mainly about the development and understanding of new weapons. ”

"Are these books still useful to us?" I asked.

"It's better to keep it. ”

"Then why didn't my father let you come with him?"

"Because he doesn't want to see that the place he has been to is not guarded by his own people, in his eyes, as long as there is a place in the Underworld Society, it belongs to the Underworld Society, he doesn't want to see the place he got in his hands be snatched away by others, our task is to stay here, control the large cities of the American Federation, and in the future, this will be our secret liaison place in the American Federation, hoping that one day we can win over more compatriots and further expand our sphere of influence. ”

"Volcker. Frank asked, "Why are you so new to this place if you know it so well?"

"If the Auguste family doesn't come, I won't come here, that's Henks' rule before leaving. ”

"Are you corpse snatchers the only ones here?" I asked.

"Anyway, the Evil Spirits and the Demon Hunters don't know. ”

"Very well, I think it's best for us to stay here as a last resort, let's go back to the city for now, this place is still guarded by you, if we show up here too often, sooner or later this place will be discovered by the witchers or other bloods. ”

"That's right, then we'll be in touch at any time. ”

"Feel free to get in touch. ”

So we went back to our accommodation.

The corpse robbers have found our army, and our power is growing, and we hope that this will be the beginning of a better future for us.

A few days after we had been silent, Walker had gathered all the corpse thieves and unorganized wandering vampires from the rest of the American Federation, and a powerful bloodline was born, shocking the rest of the American. There are also many compatriots who feel that we are strong, so they have the idea of expansion, and even show their bloody side, which is understandable, as long as they maintain the organization, uphold justice, and do not kill innocents indiscriminately.

Since our team has grown stronger, we no longer need to hide, and there is probably no Bloodline organization in the entire Federation that can compete with us. We have people in Goddess Bay, Washington, Boston, and other major towns.
