Chapter 2812

Sure enough, it was here. Jerome's eyes were shining, but Peter was a bit puzzled. He knew that the madman in front of him had something to hide from him, but the sudden appearance of such a large ancient city still gave him a fright.

Jerome stepped into the ancient city without any scruples. Peter was a bit terrified. Seeing this, Jerome no longer hid it. He said while walking inside.

"Although the Evil God is terrifying, Cat Getan people are not without ways. As early as 20 years ago, someone had already anticipated today's events and left clues in Cat Getan Cathedral."

"About 20 years ago, the four major families worked together to renovate the Cat Getan sewer system, but discovered a secret ruin and countless cultists hidden in it in the sewers."

"Could it be that they caused the city's mutation?" Peter asked.

"On the contrary, it was they who delayed the city's mutation. Originally, the mutation should have broken out 20 years ago. The four major families tried their best to kill all the cultists and throw them into a special pool, and in the process of renovating the sewers, they spread the special power on them through the water system."

Peter immediately thought of the toilet water. No wonder he pressed the button before and was splashed with toilet water, but didn't turn into a monster. This thing was not in the same system as the pollution in the hotel now.

"Is there no pollution in this kind of power?" Peter asked.

"Actually, there is." Jerome sighed and said: "But Cat Getan people are no longer afraid, because we discovered that since the establishment of this city, this kind of pollution has been continuously eroding our bodies. A little more doesn't matter."

Peter was a bit speechless, not knowing if this could be counted as fighting poison with poison.

Jerome continued.

"20 years ago, people with lofty ideals cooperated with each other to complete this great feat, but unfortunately, this could only delay the Evil God's pace and couldn't completely solve them, so they could only leave information in Cat Getan Cathedral, hoping that later generations could complete this matter."

"I don't understand." Peter shook his head and said: "A matter that couldn't be completed by the power of the whole city, how can it be completed now?"

"It wasn't completed by the power of the four major families back then, not because the four major families didn't have the ability, but because they lacked some things. These things needed 20 years to find."

"Lacking what?"

At this time, Jerome shook his head and stopped talking. The two walked toward the interior of the ancient city together, and Jerome seemed to have a map, taking Peter through twists and turns inside without getting lost, but instead walking more and more spaciously.

Soon, light shone in front. Peter thought they were going to walk out again, but after turning through a passage, what appeared in front of his eyes was a huge temple. The temple was filled with owl statues, but the very center of the temple was a pool.

The pool wasn't filled with water, but a kind of liquid emitting psychedelic luster. Peter actually smelled a trace of charming sweet taste in this damp and rotten underground.

He walked to the side of the pool as if possessed.

Just like a person who had been thirsty for a long time, Peter almost couldn't resist this sweet taste. He instinctively reached out his hand wanting to touch the psychedelic liquid.

Jerome said behind his back: "Drink it. After drinking it, you won't be thirsty anymore."

In Wei En Manor, Schiller, who had left the study, sneaked to the first floor. Actually, it couldn't be counted as sneaking. After Alfred's image monster discovered that Schiller had disappeared, he turned his head to find the door handle wrapped with Martha's hair.

But after getting the door handle, he didn't stay in place, but headed toward the 4th floor. Schiller guessed it might be because the master bedroom was on the 4th floor, but now he couldn't care about that much. He had to go get Gordon's head back.

In all fairness, Gordon was a good policeman. Mainly, Schiller also promised to help him find his comrade's corpse in the manor. Since he had boasted, he couldn't not do it. Now that the corpse hadn't been found, he could only think of a way to fish Gordon back first.

Sure enough, Schiller found the headless corpse beside the dining table in the first-floor lobby. Following the bloodstains, he walked toward the stairs and found Gordon's head under the corner of the stairs. And he could still blink, obviously still alive.

Schiller felt a bit strange. Before, some tentacles were stuck in Gordon's neck, so it wasn't strange to be able to change bodies, but after he picked up the head, he found that there was actually nothing on the head, and no signs of being polluted could be seen. It was quite bizarre that Gordon's head could live alone.

Schiller wanted to study it, but didn't have time at all, because the two figures rushing in from the gate were exactly Jeremiah and Cobblepot.

"Something happened." Jeremiah's complexion was a bit pale. Schiller discovered that the clothes on his abdomen were stained with blood. Obviously, a desperate escape had caused his wounds to burst open.

Cobblepot's leg also oozed blood, and he limped even more severely. Those granulation buds didn't know why they were also drooping.

Schiller frowned slightly, but Jeremiah said: "Jerome is currently in the past timeline, and it's not 20 days ago, it's 20 years ago."

Schiller immediately opened his eyes wide. Jeremiah shook his head and said: "He just found a way to send a message to me, telling me that there is a passage under Wei En Manor. We can travel through time along this passage to return to 20 years ago and meet with them."

"I don't see the significance of meeting now." Schiller shook his head and said: "I must go to the 4th floor to see what Martha left in the bedroom."

Jeremiah and Cobblepot looked at each other. Schiller saw that they didn't want to go, but didn't make things difficult for them, instead saying: "You can stay here, but I must go to the 4th floor. I want to know what on earth is going on."

"You will have the answer." Jeremiah looked at Schiller and said: "We will help you lure that big head away. If you can come back alive, take the underground passage behind the big tree in the garden and come to the basement to find us."

Schiller nodded without saying much. He came to the 2nd floor, took out the door handle, and hid in the study. The big head was quickly lured to the first floor.

Some movements appeared outside, but Schiller didn't rush out. Until all sounds became quiet, he pushed the door open a small crack.

But just after looking out, Schiller froze, because Alfred's face full of tentacles was facing him.

Those guys were indeed unreliable!

Schiller just wanted to understand all this as a trap, but he discovered that Alfred didn't have any movements and didn't use tentacles to attack him. Schiller walked out on tiptoe, only to find that a blood hole had been dug under this big head. Obviously, something had disappeared.

Could it be that the monster deposited in the big head chased after them, but how could it leave the tentacles behind?

Schiller didn't think much. He was single-mindedly wanting to go to the 4th floor to dig for answers. He knew that in Martha's room, he would be able to further learn the truth.

He rushed to the 4th floor in three steps. Sure enough, Martha's bedroom wasn't in the string of door handles in his hand, but was one at the end of the 4th floor.

Schiller pushed the door open. It wasn't very dusty here. It seemed that someone had been cleaning it diligently. Schiller walked to the bedside and found a diary in the bedside table, but there was actually only one note on it.

"If you can see this note, it proves that my plan is already close to success."

Seeing this sentence, Schiller frowned. Martha indeed had anticipated it long ago. What kind of plan did she weave 20 years ago?

As a result, the next sentence gave Schiller a big fright.

"I am going to welcome the arrival of the Dark God."

"I know Thomas and the Evil God's deal is already unavoidable. I don't blame him. Everyone has an instinctive desire to survive between life and death. It's better to say that all this is the Evil God's conspiracy. He is forcing us to submit and still wants us to blame ourselves, but we insist on not doing so."

"The only thing I feel regretful about is that Thomas discovered it too late. If he could have discussed it with me earlier, perhaps there would have been a better solution, but for now, we can only gamble."

"Thomas agreed to the Evil God but didn't fulfill the contract. He refused to put pollution into Cat Getan, but for some reason, the Evil God couldn't take his life. We don't feel happy about this at all, only feeling that the Evil God will definitely get it back elsewhere."

"When I became pregnant, I understood everything. He wanted our child, no matter what, only this won't do."

"Fortunately, heaven doesn't cut off all paths. Just at this time, Thomas told me that the plan to rebuild the sewers encountered obstacles. They discovered an incredible big thing underground. I went to visit it, and it was very shocking."

"The pool water located in the mysterious ancient city made my mental state improve. I think there must be a secret in it. I didn't dare to drink it, but there is another way to contact it."

"I sneaked to the hotel, mixed the mysterious pool water into the water of the rooftop swimming pool, and then jumped down. Between suffocation and hallucination, I peeked into a terrible secret, coming from the blood of those cultists."

"The city we live in has been continuously polluted. This group of cultists mixed some mysterious metal into Cat Getan's buildings, which made everyone become cruel and crazy. This is the reason why Cat Getan's social atmosphere is deteriorating."

"This should have been bad news, but for us, it's like a straw to save our lives, because we know that this group of cultists and that Evil God are not in the same group. They are not that difficult to deal with, and they will die if they get shot."

"But the power they possess cannot be underestimated. From their memories, I know that all this is a conspiracy led by a great dark existence. We don't care at all what he wants to do. We only care that Cat Getan can only have one master."

"The Evil God forced us to pollute the four major families, and the dark existence also wants to pollute the entire city. Then let them compare. If they can fight until they are bruised and battered, perhaps we can struggle to survive in the cracks."

"Even if my child might be polluted by both sides at the same time, at least I gave him a freedom of choice. This is the most I can do."

"The four major families all agreed with my view. Obviously, the Evil God wanted to repeat the same trick on them. In just one week, many of their juniors encountered accidents and were also entangled by that monster."

"What shocked me was that Falcone also couldn't escape their poisonous hands. This old fox ruled Cat Getan's underworld for most of his life, and the young Thomas also suffered losses at his hands. We only understood at that time that the Evil God was much harder to deal with than we imagined."

"From the memories of the cultists, I learned the method to make the Dark God descend, but unfortunately, this requirement is too high, and we don't have that much time. So we thought of a way to delay time. As long as we can slow down for another 20 years, the backup plan we laid out is enough to save this city."

"After having a discussion with them, I faced the Evil God directly and made a deal with him. Thomas and I will give up our bodies and let the Evil God raise my child. At the same time, before little Bruce truly converts to him, he cannot take action against anyone else in Cat Getan."

"When I said these things, that tall, dark figure kept staring at me. I couldn't see his eyes, but I could see the ever-changing expressions under his hypocritical mask."

"What made me feel desperate, but also gave me strength, was that he seemed to have guessed what I would say long ago. Everything about us was under his control. He might just like watching these weak ants struggle under his manipulation."

"I thought I would panic, but until the deal was completed, I only felt calm. I'm not sure what the future will be like, but I know my child won't disappoint me."
