Chapter 10: The Black Death Strikes

"Fack!"

Jeff's tone changed, and he pointed to the slowly moving "human skin" in the bathtub in horror.

"George! Look at the! ”

Hearing his partner's voice, George looked into the tub.

The human skin, which suddenly twisted and moved, seemed to be pushed by a force and slid towards the bottom of the bathtub.

George was also shocked by this strange scene!

But he remained calm, holding his pistol against the sliding human skin.

In the next second, a small spider came out of the mouth of the human skin tissue.

Obviously, before the human skin could move, it was this spider who made a ghost in it.

"Crumbs!"

Seeing that it was a false alarm, Jeff couldn't help but curse.

Putting away the pistol, Jeff said to George, "I'll go take a look at the other room." Hell, this damn spider! ”

After Jeff left, George began to check the bathroom for other clues.

After checking the locker and vanity, I bent down to inspect the tub, and finally found a somewhat familiar badge under the bathtub stopper.

A light red coat of arms consisting of elements such as the sun, books, and crosses.

George frowned at the badge, he remembered that he seemed to have seen it in his daughter Gwen.

This is supposed to be the school emblem that belongs to Midtown High School.

A few days ago, Gwen told herself that she had lost her school badge.

Is it a badge left behind by the murderer, or is it simply just the belongings of the deceased.

George was lost in thought.

A few minutes later, Jeff walked into the bathroom, holding a frame of a photo of a man and a woman in his hand.

"There was a message from the police station that the owners of the house were a husband and wife, the man's name was Dan, and the woman's name was Muriel."

He pointed to the human skin tissue in the bathroom and said to George, "The one lying in the bathroom should be the hostess Muriel." ”

George glanced at the school badge in his hand and asked his partner, "Do they have children?" High school students, or colleges? ”

"Probably not, why do you ask?"

"It's fine."

George shook his head, exhaled, and walked out of the disgusting bathroom.

What does it mean that a spider comes out of the human skin?

Is the school emblem of Midtown High School in his hand really left by the murderer?

If the badge was left behind by the murderer, does it mean that the murderer is from Midtown High School?

His brow furrowed, lost in thought.

The rain outside the window is getting tighter and tighter.

After a while, he raised his gaze and looked out the window.

......

Two blocks away from George's eyes, Peter, a member of Midtown High School, stepped on the soaked ground and stared at the slum in front of him.

Hell's Kitchen.

This is the notorious slum of the United States, filled with countless criminals and gangsters, and it is a hotbed of countless evils.

In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Peter set his goal for tonight here.

Stepping on the rain, he went outside a laundry and looked up at the sky, where the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

The gray sky did not show a single light.

The garbage dump on the side of the road was full of garbage, as if it hadn't been cleaned up in days, and there was a sour smell that seemed to be there.

Peter tilted his head, the black mask on his face fading, revealing his true face.

He stuck out his tongue and tasted the rain.

Acid rain!

Familiar taste.

It's the same smell as the black rain I had in Manhattan.

Shaking his head, Peter entered the laundry.

Ten minutes later.

Peter walked out of the shop with a brown bag in his hand.

He glanced back, and the door to the laundry was open, and there was a mess inside.

A dozen men who appeared to be laundromat employees were unconscious on the ground, motionless.

However, although the other party was wearing a laundry uniform, he was not a real laundry employee.

Rather, gangsters under the guise of "laundry".

It has been a long tradition for American gangsters to open laundries to launder money.

The earliest can be traced back to the 20s of the 20th century, when a member of the mafia in Chicago, USA, opened a laundry.

When settling their income every night, these mafia members will take into account the illegal income obtained through gambling and smuggling, and then report it to the tax department, so that the illegal income becomes legal.

This is also the earliest origin of the term "money laundering".

As a person who has lived in the world of "torture and killing the original form" for more than ten years in his previous life, Peter naturally knows this kind of gangster work very well.

After taking a turn in the gang-infested Hell's Kitchen, I determined that the laundry in front of me was a gangster money laundering agency with a "laundry" sign.

So he unceremoniously entered the laundromat and asked the men to give him the dollars in the store, and let the gang members know what was going to happen if they didn't cooperate.

"Bang dang!"

Behind him, the door was slammed open.

A strong man with a bloody face stumbled out and pointed his pistol at Peter.

His hand holding the gun was still shaking due to excessive tension.

Peter's violent act just now left a deep shadow on him.

The figure is like lightning that cannot be caught, and every time it strikes, one of the members will fall down with a wail.

Before the pistol could pull the trigger, it was knocked flying by the black substance fired from his hand.

exudes murderous intent all over his body, and that strange mask makes people feel scared at a glance.

The pistol that used to give him a sense of security made him not safe at all.

The reason why he dared to muster up the courage to run out and point his pistol at the demon in front of him was because he knew how powerful the boss was.

After reporting to the boss, the boss ordered him to hold back and wait until the mutants he sent came, so he didn't dare not come out.

"No...... Don't move! ”

With a slight tremor in his voice, the strong man said to Peter, who had his back to him.

"If I were you, I'd lie on the ground and pretend to be dead."

Black wriggling tentacles re-covered Peter's face, forming a "spider mask".

He turned, and a hoarse voice came from under the black spider mask.

"Put the money down, you don't know whose stuff you moved."

The gangster swallowed and said to Peter.

"Oh? I had no intention of knowing, but now I'm a little interested. ”

Peter put the bag in his hand on the ground and said lightly, "Tell me, whose territory is this?!" ”

"Jin Jun!"

The gang member uttered the name that terrified him.

"Kim Ju ...... Is it? ”

Hearing the name, Peter repeated it in his mouth.

Of course he had heard the name of this underground emperor of New York.

The gangster thought that this guy with a strange mask was afraid of the name and was about to say something after him.

Suddenly, I saw a black lightning bolt coming towards me!

"Bang"!

He couldn't react and was grabbed by the throat.

The suffocating pain immediately hit him, and his eyes blackened.

"Unfortunately, the name doesn't convince me!"

"Whoosh!"

The black "spider silk" was instantly inserted into the other party's heart.

"Plop!"

The body of the strong man fell heavily to the ground, splashing a lot of rain.

Lifting the rain-stained bag from the ground up, Peter stepped into the rain without changing his face.

The greatly increased activity of the cells covered his body, forming a shallow, scaly substance, which allowed him to resist the rain, and he did not have to worry about turning into a soup chicken.

I was about to leave this place, and I didn't want the phone in my pocket to ring suddenly.
