Chapter 4235
The agent is currently hiding on the beams of the church. Thanks to the whimsical ideas of the designer when building the church, the beams above are not covered up, but decorated with antique style. This allows him to climb up very easily.
The group of dried corpses chasing him is fast, and their strength is great, and their claws are simply harder and sharper than alloy, and being scratched by them will not die but will be injured. But they have a small problem, that is, their balance is not very good.
These ghosts were living people before they died, and they only know how to use the bodies of living people. And now they use these dried corpses, which have been weathered and rotten, I don't know how long. The way of manipulation must be different from before, and the weight and joint flexibility are also much worse, which is equivalent to needing to adapt to a brand new body.
When walking on flat ground, because of some mysterious power, they have high explosive power, but it doesn't work when it involves some details, such as walking on a balance beam. The wood on this beam is probably wider than an adult's sole, but it is only that much wider. To walk on it, you must have extremely high balance; if you are a little bit off, you will fall down. The agent relied on this method to walk these dried corpses here for several hours.
These dried corpses have good jumping power and can often jump up, but they can't stand on it and can't catch up to the agent. And the reason why the agent walks them here is to delay time.
It is night now, and it is really inconvenient to act. There are some lights in the church, which can illuminate the ceiling. He will wait here until dawn before he can act. Otherwise, dealing with these terrible monsters in the dark, he would die without knowing how he died.
Another dried corpse jumped up from the side of the wall. The agent jumped flexibly to another beam. The other party wanted to follow and jump over, but unfortunately, it didn't grasp the distance well; it jumped up sharply, not only hitting its head on the beam above, but also jumped over, coming to the beam behind the agent, but it didn't stand firm and was just hanging on the beam with its hands.
Of course, the agent wouldn't be polite to it, walked over and kicked it hard. The other party let out a scream and fell to the ground. And there were already two scattered on the ground. This church is a European-style structure, and the dome is very high. Gravity is equal; falling from such a height, they all have to fall apart.
At this time, the sky was already bright. Seeing the micro-light of the sunrise sprinkling all over the church through the window, the agent felt relieved in his heart. As long as he survives the night, everything is easy to say. Unfortunately, he is not a Hunter and doesn't have night vision equipment, otherwise he wouldn't have to waste so much time.
Just when he was preparing to find a way down, he suddenly saw a corpse wearing somewhat strange clothes jumping up in a more strange way. It first jumped to the lower beam, and then stood on it with a backflip.
The agent looked at it somewhat surprised, looked at its clothes, and then discovered that this seems to be a circus performer, and the clothing style is somewhat similar to the clown dried corpse seen before.
Soon, he judged the identity of this dried corpse from the shoes. It should be an acrobat, and very good at riding a unicycle, and there are corresponding wear marks on the shoes. But looking at its performance, balance beam and tightrope walking should also be within its reach.
"This evil spirit is quite smart." The agent thought, discovering that he used balance ability to deal with dried corpses, and immediately brought an acrobat. The balance of such a person before death was very good, and after death, although it is worse, it is also much stronger than other dried corpses.
This guy is still a bit far from him, and the best way is to use a gun to shoot it down. But dried corpses are not afraid of bullets; if you shoot it down, it can come up again later. With it blocking there, the agent shouldn't think about going down.
The agent didn't pull out the gun, he just waited in place. When the dried corpse jumped to a place not far from him, he pounced on it sharply, and the direction he pounced was the window. He broke through the window directly with the help of the dried corpse's body, and the two fell heavily to the ground.
Still that sentence, gravity is fair; whoever falls from such a high place has to fall dizzy. But having a cushion is different; although this cushion is a bit dry, it good-naturedly reduced part of the impact. The agent curled up in mid-air like a cannonball, smashing down with the dried corpse. His body didn't touch the ground at any place, but the dried corpse was miserable; smashed like this, it split directly from the chest.
These ghosts have limited control over their bodies, and the way to kill them, besides burning them with fire, is to break them into enough fragments. As long as the body is broken directly, they have no power to condense the body again.
The acrobat dried corpse's body was completely smashed, and the remaining fragments twitched for a while and then stopped moving. And the agent took this opportunity to avoid the dried corpse guarding inside the church and successfully went around to the back of the church.
He came to the church, not just to delay time. He must find where Kate Kane is.
If Peter has been controlled by the evil spirit, then as Peter's teammate, Kate hasn't appeared for so long, and might have already met with misfortune. She is very likely kidnapped by that evil spirit.
However, Kate must not be dead yet, otherwise the evil spirit would have sent them a message. Then she might be hidden somewhere. The agent cannot be sure where exactly, but during the dialogue plot before, Peter, who was possessed by the evil spirit, mentioned "church" and "waterfall". He can only come to these two places to try his luck.
The agent felt that the evil spirit must want Kate to do something, so he didn't kill her. But if the evil spirit succeeded, then it would be all over. So even if it is out of the need to strike the opponent, he must save Kate.
After he went around to the back of the church, he came to the church basement from the cellar. When he came to the church before, he had already discovered that this should not be a church built by the Mormon sect; they just occupied the magpie's nest. And the agent is very familiar with the structure of Catholic and Protestant churches. Churches built in this era have basements, which often connect to cellars. In less developed eras, church basements often served as shelters.
This church is not big, and the underground is not complicated, just a tunnel, with several rooms around. The agent walked over cautiously, and soon heard movement in the last room.
He stood at the door and opened the door, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Kate. Her head was full of blood, and her face was also bleeding a lot. From the flow of blood, she should have been hit in the back of the head by someone and fainted, and then brought here.
At this moment, Kate had already woken up, and after seeing the agent, she whimpered a few times. The agent walked over, untied the rope binding her, and then tore off the tape on her mouth.
"Peter... Peter he..."
"I know," the agent said, "He was possessed by the evil spirit. But he didn't fool me. I temporarily repelled him, and now he has made a bunch of dried corpses wandering around the town. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. However, when I was in a coma, I entered a new world. That seems to be a spiritual world, and in it, I met that evil spirit," Kate said, "That guy wanted to hypnotize me and said some inexplicable things to me; at first I didn't understand. But associating it with the previous clues, I probably figured out what's going on."
"What's going on?" The agent asked.
"Do you remember Linda? That is Aunt Kane's daughter, that somewhat crazy girl."
The agent nodded. Of course, he had a deep impression of Linda; this girl had a kind of crazy vitality.
"She gave birth to a child," Kate said, "It was a boy, named Bing Borg. This boy was nominally her younger brother, but actually he was her son. It was born by her and the elder of the Mormon sect."
"The Kane family has a kind of genetic disease, which is the curse of all of us. The women of this family have a high risk when giving birth, are easily miscarried when pregnant, and are also easy to die when giving birth, and the offspring born are often not healthy enough. My daughter left me like this."
Kate showed a sad expression and then said: "However, there was an accident in this generation, and that is my mother. She miraculously didn't suffer from the genetic disease, and didn't encounter any accidents when giving birth to me. Everyone was happy for her, except Aunt Kane."
"Her first marriage was very unhappy, because she had two miscarriages and later couldn't get pregnant. When my mother gave birth to me, she wasn't happy, because she thought it was very unfair. The two of them were clearly sisters, but their fates were completely different. Later, she divorced her first husband and met her second husband, Borg, who came to New York to preach, and married him to this remote small town."
"Perhaps because of the knot in her heart regarding childbirth, she developed psychological problems. She began to place her emotions on religion, began to believe in the doctrine of the Mormon sect, and believed that as long as she was pious, God would give her a cute child."
"Later, she really got pregnant and successfully gave birth to Linda. But unfortunately, good luck only happened once, and it might be because of this childbirth that she completely hurt her body and could never get pregnant again. But the more this happened, the more she wanted another child, because her sister had two, and she wanted to surpass her."
"Aunt Kane's husband Borg was never a very pious person, and even tried to escape when preaching in New York. He felt very afraid of his wife's state, and the relationship between the couple gradually broke down. And at this time, the Mormon pastor who had been preaching to Aunt Kane—they called him the elder—kept opening up Aunt Kane. The two of them developed feelings, and Aunt Kane wanted a child of the elder."
"She couldn't give birth herself, and at this time, Aunt Kane's daughter Linda gradually grew up. So, they let Linda give birth to the elder's child."
"Aunt Kane was very satisfied; she wanted to teach this child personally, and also wanted to use this to win the elder's attention. After all, the Mormon sect practices polygamy, and almost all the women in the whole town are the elder's wives, and have given birth to many children for him. Aunt Kane was already old and yellow, and knew she couldn't seduce the elder with her looks. So, she poured all her attention on the child. Just like she always wanted to compare with her sister, she also always wanted Bing to be more outstanding than the elder's other children."
"But unfortunately, this child was not liked by the elder from birth. Because this was his 13th child, and 13 is an unlucky number. Pious believers don't like this number very much, so when Bing was born, he had already been abandoned by the elder."
"Not only that, as Bing gradually grew up, he began to reveal extraordinary things. He possessed the ability of prophecy, had accurately predicted disasters and the movements of animals, mastered many taboo knowledge, and even black magic that could curse people to death. And he is the culprit who destroyed the small town."
"Are you done?" The agent looked at Kate and said. After speaking, without waiting for Kate to answer, he pulled out his gun directly.
"Go well."
Bang!
