Chapter 24 Reckless person

The room was not big and had no windows. The walls were specially made, solid and lined with sound-proof sponges. A man in his thirties was tied to the bed with a metal funnel hanging from his mouth to keep his mouth open. It was probably used to feed him medicine.

Seeing Liu Yonglu come in, the man twisted and struggled. It was obvious that he had tried his best, but because the straps and the metal bed under him were too strong, he shook twice and then became motionless. He just stared at Liu Yonglu with angry eyes.

"Don't be nervous. We gods are here to save people from suffering and help all living things. Even though you feel uncomfortable now, you will feel better later."

Liu Yonglu also knew that the person on the bed was most likely an innocent person, but he was not stupid enough to untie the ropes and save him now. If he let the sacrifice escape, he would not be able to escape later.

He muttered twice more, and only came back to tear the metal funnel out of the man's mouth when he was sure the cultist had left.

The two of them just stared at each other for three minutes without saying anything. The man was too weak to speak, and Liu Yonglu was being cautious and didn't want to reveal his identity first.

"I tell you..." Hearing the man's words, Liu Yonglu quickly lowered his body.

"You and your twisted and deformed evil god can both go to hell!" The man didn't know where he got all that strength from, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood foam, spraying it all over Liu Yonglu's face.

His words made Liu Yonglu laugh. He lifted the corner of his robe to wipe his face, then looked at the man in front of him with interest.

It seems that this person has become a sacrifice passively. Liu Yonglu is afraid that this person is the kind of idiot who has been brainwashed into an idiot. He is about to be sacrificed, but he is still happily shouting "Long live my Lord."

He is really that kind of person. It would be useless to save him, and his identity would be exposed instead.

But even so, Liu Yonglu did not let down his guard, and even teased him with a smile:
"Oh, I won't cry until I see the coffin, and I won't give up until I see the Yellow River."

"What's wrong with being my Lord's sacrifice? This is the blessing you have earned in eight lifetimes!"

"If you serve as a sacrifice in this life, you will make a lot of money in the next life. When you are reincarnated, you can eat lobster every day without having to eat bread. How many people want to be a sacrifice, but it's impossible."

He kept talking so much that the person lying on the bed was also confused. After thinking for a while, he felt that Liu Yonglu was probably brainwashing him, so he continued to curse:

"Hey, if you have the guts to let me go, come closer and I'll bite off a piece of your flesh."

"Crazy believer of the evil god, I should have burned this sick town to the ground long ago."

This man probably had a bad temper. Although he was weak and his voice was hoarse, he still kept cursing. He cursed for two minutes. When Liu Yonglu felt that he had run out of new words, he picked his ears and waved his hands, saying:
"Take a break, big brother. Your language is so poor that it makes me uncomfortable. Well... well, we recently organized a ritual hospice service. What do you want to call? If you have anything you want to tell me, I can help you convey it."

Liu Yonglu's goal was to find out the other party's identity first. He didn't expect that the man tied to the bed had such a strong temper. He shouted directly:
???You don???t have to pretend to be kind here! Carol, remember, my name is Carol, you???d better call out my name clearly in front of your shitty evil god so that I can shit on his head??????

"Wait a moment, I'll stroke it..."

When Liu Yonglu heard the name Carol, his heart moved. He had seen this person's name in the file. He was an investigator who died in Excel Town a few months ago! He vaguely remembered that this person had two years of investigation experience as an investigator and was a veteran.

Thinking of this, Liu Yonglu leaned forward, a little closer to Carol who was tied to the bed.

At the same time, his little hand inside his robe trembled, and the envelope that contained the contact between him and the headquarters slipped from his sleeve accidentally and fell onto Carol.

This was Liu Yonglu's last test. If Carol was really the "dead" investigator in the file, he would definitely recognize the secret stamp from the headquarters. If he was not that person, no one else would recognize the secret stamp, and his identity would not be exposed.

Sure enough, the man on the bed caught a glimpse of the envelope, and a spark of surprise burst out in his eyes. He lowered his voice and asked:

"Did headquarters send you to rescue me?"

"No, I'm here to investigate the cult. The headquarters thought you were dead a long time ago."

Liu Yonglu found a chair and sat down, then continued, "But I can save you along the way. You were listed as dead in the records, so how come you're alive again?"

"The other four investigators are indeed dead...died in front of my eyes." Carol's body was shaking as if she had touched upon an extremely terrifying memory.

???They kept me here to torture me for some information about the headquarters. After all, our archives contain a lot of forbidden knowledge related to gods.

I guess...at a critical moment, I will become a hostage and a bargaining chip for the headquarters."

"So why did they suddenly think of using you as a sacrifice today?" Liu Yonglu saw something strange about the problem. Since this investigator was valuable, why would they choose to sacrifice him today?

"I don't know. They have kept me in the cell. The torture has stopped in the last few days, and they have healed the superficial injuries on my body."

Liu Yonglu still hasn't guessed that Marcus and Brundtrang had teamed up to harm him.

Their initial idea was to tamper with the ritual materials, causing the mass to fail and thus undermining Liu Yonglu's position in Mr. Lewis's heart.

But they soon discovered that this method didn't work.

Because they were the assistants of the priests in the ceremony! If there was a mistake in the mass, the priests would be blamed, and they would also be responsible and would die together. So if you want to harm Liu Yonglu, you can't start from this direction, you have to prove his undercover identity. The top leaders of the cult didn't know that Carol faked his death and was secretly imprisoned in the relief center by the two of them.

The new plan is to use him to make trouble. Before pushing Carol out, the two of them pretended to be surprised and acted a scene to control Liu Yonglu and then falsely accuse him of being an undercover agent. At this time, Carol appeared on the scene, with evidence in hand.

As for the group of church leaders watching the ceremony, they didn't care about such trivial matters. It was common for masses to be suspended for various reasons.

Usually they took off their robes and went back to their own homes, leaving all subsequent issues to Mr. Lewis. Of course, by then they had already faked the crime scene of an undercover agent who failed to save someone and then committed suicide by taking poison, so there was no evidence.

It can be said that although this plan is not complicated, if it can be implemented successfully, the effect will certainly be good.

But these two people missed one thing, that is, Liu Yonglu was really an investigator, and he came to the shelter in advance and strolled around for a while, and happened to see Carol in the prison.

"How many people do you have here? Is there a carriage outside? If there is a carriage, we will leave now. Let me down first. Do you have a gun? Give it to me."

"Brother, don't be impatient. Your temper is too violent."

Liu Yonglu waved his hands frequently. He had been hanging around the relief center for a week and knew how tight the security was after dark. It was simply a fantasy for two people to break out with just a small pistol.

"What should we do? The cultists' mass ceremony will begin soon. Not only will we have to face those lunatics, but we will also have to face the twisted and terrifying evil god."

"Meet the evil god? I will preside over the ceremony, and at most these people will just listen to a lecture."

"What is a church meeting? Are you the host? Are you the priest in the church? "

Although Carol was still tied to the bed, he still struggled excitedly. If he had not just seen the secret mark on Liu Yonglu's letter, he would never have believed that such a strange thing could happen.

"Brother, do you believe me?"

Liu Yonglu gradually came up with an idea: not to force his way in, but to use wits.

"Believe it... okay." Carol, who was lying on the bed, also felt that Liu Yonglu was not very reliable at this time, but she could only rely on him in the current situation.

"Then I will untie the straps on you now. Don't move. Continue to wear this funnel and pretend to squint on the bed."

"We must get away before that Lewis comes back. That guy... is so scary." Carol thought of Lewis and his deformed and horrifying wax figures again, and said in a trembling voice.

"Don't worry, he can't beat us two alone."

After saying this, Liu Yonglu went out. At the corner of the stairs, he found the believer who had just entered the room to feed Carol medicine. At this time, he was placing the materials for the ceremony on a small copper cart.

"You, I'm telling you, come with me, I'll show you a treasure."

After saying this, Liu Yonglu put his hands behind his back and walked towards the prison. The Christian could hear the stern tone in Liu Yonglu's voice and did not dare to disobey. He put his things aside and followed him with his head down.

After the two entered the house, Liu Yonglu turned around and locked the door.

"Look for yourself, is the sacrifice tender? I just touched it and it was dead. If the sacrifice is dead, I will burn you to death."

The believers were a little panicked when they heard this. There was something wrong with the sacrifice and they were committing a serious crime. They hurried over to check. When they lowered their heads, they saw Carol's eyes suddenly opened.

"Kill him..." Liu Yonglu had just said half of the signal when Carol took action. He sat up and hit the believer's forehead hard with his head.

The believer fell on his back, and Liu Yonglu tried to subdue the believer with one blow of his body, just like a human pyramid. However, his small body was not enough to hold him down. The believer began to struggle with his hands and feet, and the two of them started to fight on the ground.

"Bang!" Wood chips flew everywhere, and finally Carol knocked the cultist unconscious with a chair in the cell.

"Okay, you have the strength, take off his clothes and put them on yourself."

Liu Yonglu did not have a complete escape plan at this time, but he found that the black robes worn by the believers were a loophole. Once the hoods on the black robes covered their faces, no one could recognize each other. He decided to sneak out of the cell and take things one step at a time.

After a busy period, Carol changed into the believer's clothes, stripped the former believer naked and tied him face down on the bed, and the matter came to an end.

"What should we do next? Fight our way out?" Carol took Liu Yonglu's pistol and checked the safety and ammunition. Liu Yonglu knew that he had never practiced shooting, so he might as well hand the gun to Carol.

"Don't... just stay calm... you will be by my side... and be my assistant." Liu Yonglu panted and shook his hands:
"It's almost time... Let's go to the ceremony quickly. After the mass is over... we can just follow the crowd and leave."
