Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver

On a high slope half a mile away from the Heifengkou oil and gas station, the crowd gradually dispersed within the next hour and a half, leaving only a few volunteers picking up household garbage and beer cans nearby. People from cable TV stations and CNN also went to stay in nearby towns to follow up and report on the matter. We followed the two cars from Channel 9 and were walking leisurely back to Black Maple Town.

The car was filled with the laughter of the national detectives. So many clues suddenly appeared, and they were having heated discussions. This night will definitely not stop. Sister Di and this group of work gangs should not be able to receive the evening treatment again. If the Atlanta department really plans to excavate the mining disaster site for the second time, they will definitely be excluded. Where to go next, they have not yet received a reply.

Sister Di checked her phone from time to time and was sending text messages to Ajia over and over in vain, looking a little anxious. Upon seeing this, Lao Dai told her not to be anxious. This situation showed that Ajia himself had not made up his mind, so he excused himself to attend a cocktail party and refused to answer. The frequent chaos was unexpected at first, but the current harvest is more like an accident. Therefore, the bald old man planned to continue to observe the situation for one night to see if there was any progress before deciding on the trend. Moreover, because of these, he can attract sponsorship from customers.

Since there were so many people around, I sat far away from Sister Di again, so I had no choice but to lean on Krys' shoulder and take a nap. When I was bored, I remembered that I heard the ringtone of my cell phone just before drilling. I took it out and saw that there was indeed a call, and it was Lin Rui. Krys blinked at me with his big eyes, but didn't say anything. I shook my head and started dialing back the number.

Unexpectedly, this time it was even worse. Not only him, but even the calls from Yan Yan, Fan Pang and others were not answered. These three people seemed to have disappeared. Seeing this, Krys asked Agai to stop, took me and jumped out of the car, saying that he had something to say to me, and asked them to go back first.

"Do you know where they went?"Seeing her sitting in front of the grass where Eugene was fishing for shrimp, I put my phone back in my trouser pocket and asked. She nodded, asked me for a cigarette, and started smoking alone. I became more and more strange and asked:" What happened?"

She picked up her phone to check it, then pointed to an unknown number and said she could call this, maybe she could find the three of them.

"Why are you so mysterious?"I felt baffled, so I took the phone and started to make a call. The other party was quickly connected, but without saying anything, he immediately cut off the line. When I called him again, his phone was turned off.

"This number belonged to a female soldier. Because they were going to do something important tonight, they were afraid of alerting each other if there were calls from outside, so they all left their mobile phones at home. Charlie is the most professional of them all, so he brings his cell phone."She held my sleeve and motioned to sit down first.

It turned out that as soon as Fatty Fan returned to Glasscock County, he immediately went to see Susan Sullivan. After the three of them invited the girl out, they interrogated her repeatedly. It turned out that the disappearance of the high school girlfriend a few days ago was indeed related to the den of thieves. If she revealed the truth, she was afraid of retaliation, so the girl lied to her family that she was drunk and stayed at a friend's house for two weeks. God.

It would have been better not to interrogate. The interrogation almost scared the three of them half of their lives. It turns out that those thieves who stole type B blood and drank alcohol called themselves the Lilith Sisters. They really worshiped devils and loved black magic. They every There is a witch gathering every month, and the members are all girls who have been severely brainwashed. Sullivan didn't know this group of people at first. She came into contact with them at a classmate's party, and they started to find it fun and went there a few times. It is said that after witnessing some miracles, she secretly joined this cult.

Assuming that you just hold some crazy gatherings, such as running into the mountains and forests to dance around a bonfire, or performing some rituals naked, at most It was an indecent act to amuse oneself, and it was not very harmful at first. But as more and more brainless members like Sullivan began to have fun, some people proposed to use living flesh and blood to summon the extremely evil general Shell. Ba Yin, so he had to choose a moonlight queen, go to the highway to seduce the truck driver, and then kill the man as a sacrifice.

In April this year, Fan Fat learned about this, so he dragged Sullivan and warned her to leave Lilith. The sisters immediately went to the police and disturbed other people's sacrifices. As a result, not long after the incident, they broke into the door in the middle of the night, tied them tightly to the bed, and stabbed a knife in the leg as punishment. Lily The great elder of Si warned Fatty Fatty that if he did it again, his life would be at stake, so he used the excuse of going to the ancient yin house of Lvku to record the scene, and left his hometown to avoid the limelight.

You have to ask, why shouldn't such a thing happen? Go to the police? Because Fan Pang has tried but there is no evidence. How can we convict someone for something they haven’t done yet? What’s more, the thieves are just gathering together and doing some weird rituals. They don’t commit any crimes. They can only Report it as a suspicion. Why is it difficult to deal with? The key is that this high school student's girlfriend is a member of a cult. If Fan Pang wants to cause trouble for them, the other party will call the police; if Fan Pang dares to cause trouble, the other party will try their best to retaliate against his girlfriend. In addition, Sullivan suffered from schizophrenia, and the testimony he provided was considered to be the ravings of a madman, so it became even more difficult to cope with it. He had to watch them swaggering through the market all day long. Not long ago, these thieves set a new blood sacrifice On the night of the 15th of this month, Sullivan was elected as the Queen of the Moon Night to complete their glorious mission, so the girl was dragged to the gathering point and brainwashed for two days before being released. Before inviting her out for a talk at noon , this troublemaker had already called the thieves. After being persuaded and educated by Lin Rui and Yan Jing, he finally came to his senses. Unfortunately, it was too late. The Lilith Sisters had already learned that Fan Fat was back. So they discussed it. After coming down, we decided to hide Sullivan in a safe place first, and then attack them first, and attack their den of thieves tonight. This is what happened.

"When did you find out? Why don't you tell me?"I took out my cigarette impatiently, lit one for myself, and asked

"I learned about it around 5:30. Besides, what can you do if you know? She raised her head, glanced at me, and said,"You were all doing warm-up exercises at the time and were about to go down. If you are distracted, something big will happen if something goes wrong down there!""

""Me," the words just came to my throat, and I swallowed them back. Yeah, what can I do even if I know? I don't necessarily rush to Gibson to participate in a gang fight, and the other party is a sorority, so it's always easy to beat up women. It doesn’t make sense. Besides, how many people are there in this cult? What are the details? Do they also know magic? Everything is blank. I have never thought about this carefully from their perspective. Regarding this high school student girlfriend, I usually This is what I used to laugh at Fan Fat. I don’t know what happened.

"When Van Si found out, he couldn't hold him back and said that it was his business and he didn't expect others to help or listen to advice. So Hollisman and the others had no choice but to stabilize him first, and formulated a plan to do it tonight. I was very upset after hearing the news, so I had a very bad attitude towards you at first. What do you mean this is all about?"Krys played with his hair, tangled it around his fingertips and untied it, and sighed:"Sometimes I feel like we are living in two worlds with them. I feel really tired. I hope they can get over it."

"Why do you say this?"I pushed her shoulder and asked:"Aren't you worried that something will happen to them?"

"I really have to worry a little bit. Hollisman couldn't even beat me, but he was forced to participate in other people's random battles. You know his temperament, and his friends' business is his business. And there’s not much point in saying that, they’re already on their way."She asked me for a cigarette, took a few puffs and then said,"However, I feel a lot more relieved when Charlie is here. She carries an air rifle and rubber bullets with her, and is a sniper herself, so she will protect them secretly. Nothing serious should happen, I hope so"

"That's better. If you go there alone, you won't be able to count on glasses."I couldn't help raising my hands again, but the result was that the phone was still shut down. From this point of view, the only thing left to know is waiting for them to go home. Thinking about it, I turned my face to look at Krys. After all, I have no idea about flying girls. , asked:"If this happened to you, how would you deal with it?"

"I? They should probably do the same thing. In the past in Brisbane, I came into contact with such small groups, which were usually not large, with five or six people in size. If you join in, it will be difficult to escape. There is no use in hiding. Vans cannot live in Charlotte for the rest of his life. It is his hometown after all. Krys thought for a moment, then held my shoulder and said,"Others are worried that you will reveal the inside story about them after you leave, so they will pester you and use some dirty tricks, such as killing someone. In short, you will have to continue after you are stained with blood." Go down. If it were me, I would secretly carry out sneak attacks. If you can't defeat a group, just a few will deal with it. In short, you will make them feel that you are not easy to mess with."

"I see, it seems you have a lot of combat experience."I chuckled, got up and headed towards the pool. In the dark tunnel behind me, a person walked slowly. Looking carefully, it turned out to be Sister Di. When she saw us, she raised her hand and said hello.

"With such a large amount of exercise, I thought you had fallen down due to exhaustion. Why are you back again?"I reached out to take the beer she brought, took out my nose-blowing handkerchief and spread it in the grass, and asked her to sit down. I thought, maybe you saw me alone with Krys and were worried that I would go off the rails, so you came to monitor me? So, right? I asked again:"Has Ajia called you back?" What does he mean?"

Sister Di nodded and said that the bald old man had just returned and asked her to stay for a few more days because the national detectives had made great discoveries just now after a heated debate, so they would still stay here. Ajia went As expected, attending the cocktail party was just a pretense. He actually went to a sympathy meeting and met several interested wealthy people to discuss sponsorship. Therefore, the work gang must still be retained until the outcome of this unsolved case.

"I am worried that if I am always busy with this kind of thing, I will gradually be stereotyped in the future, and it will be difficult to return to front-line normal news broadcasting. Sister Di smiled brightly at me, pointed at herself, and said,"So I was very upset, so I came out to look for you two on the pretext of getting out of the car.""

"What's the point of newscasting? No pain or itching, just like boiled water. I never watch the news station."Krys chuckled, took Sister Di's arm and leaned on her shoulder, and asked:"Actually, you don't like to be entangled with people like us, do you?"

"Of course not." Sister Di opened a can of beer for her, stroked her hair, and said,"Adventures are very interesting. It makes people younger and more energetic, but I am getting older and have premature heart disease. Not suitable for prolonged exposure to stimulation. So in comparison, bland broadcasting is more suitable for me. But you are different, you are so young and have no psychological burden"

"So, you will still invite everyone to Pineville, and you welcome me there, right? Krys grinned and asked,"I admire you very much and would like to see what your daily life is like, such as your taste in clothing and fashion.""

I didn't know what they were talking about, and I felt that I had become a redundant person again, so I asked Sister Di about Rosa's background.

"Why do you think there is any enmity between us? It was just a tit-for-tat confrontation between peers. She maintained the reputation of the cable station. I took into account the interests of Channel 9, and everyone was left to their own devices. After all, this is someone else's property, and it would be unethical for us to interfere, so we just let her make trouble. She waved her hand at me and continued to show her self-cultivation, saying:"She and I are classmates. She is actually very kind-hearted. She has a happy family and her husband is also very good." It's not like me, I'm all alone, I don't even have anyone to talk to."

"Then you now have close friends like us to talk to."Krys dragged her away from me with all his strength, smiled triumphantly and said,"It's so good to have no worries and worries, I can't even ask for it. Now that the venue has been circled, it doesn't matter for us to go in and out.what would you do? I can't even reach the hillside. I can't explain it when I go back to Charlotte."

"Yes, I am also troubled by this. I heard that they are collecting petitions in the state. It seems that if they get 40,000 votes, they will start the second excavation. So far, they have raised more than 20,000 votes. The foundation we finally laid was taken away by others in the blink of an eye. Sister Di made a bitter face and sighed. She touched Krys's chin and said,"You should feel lucky to have such a cute baby. Look at me, and I have nothing but glamour." Even if he is still here, he cannot return home normally every day."

The two of them left me aside and talked to each other affectionately. I had to keep drinking. I sat like this for half an hour, and over time I finally got the taste. The small talk between the two seemed to be complimenting each other, but in fact He was sarcastically mocking the other person, but his attitude was dignified without uttering any curse words, giving people the illusion of warmth. Krys accused Sister Di of being a standard white-collar bitch who has always had no friendship. She only approached us for the sake of her future, and we were just stepping stones for her; Sister Di is also blaming Krys, don’t think I can’t hear it, then I’m going to blame you too. What kind of mother do you think you are if you leave your child in Charlotte and don’t care about it? You’re just a yellow-haired girl.

That way Come on, I didn’t know which side to focus on, so I could only watch the two of them getting into each other more and more. When the topic gradually shifted to me, I broke out in a sweat. At this moment, an idea flashed in my mind, and I immediately Then I came up with an idea.

I lit three cigarettes and handed them to each of them, saying that I discovered a secret last night. Maybe I could bypass the cable station and give Sister Di a surprise. Moreover, this discovery would also satisfy my adventure with Krys. After the two of them listened, they followed with suspicion.

What kind of discovery was this, you ask? To be honest, I'm not sure. During the violent earthquake, I was knocked unconscious by a falling miner's lamp. I was dragged along by Sister Di and Krys. , with my peripheral vision dilated, I accidentally saw a large piece of rock collapsed in a certain section of the tunnel. At that time, because the car's headlights were bright and it was parked at the right position, something was reflected by it and shone with a cold light. Is it a dazzle or something real? Where are the things? I can't tell. At this moment, in order to stop this meaningless bickering in time, you might as well drag them over and take a look.

"Is it this way or that way?"Sister Di reached into her trouser pocket and remembered that the four-eyed woman had taken away her headlights, so she jumped into the car and started the car.

"The place where I fell down last night should be relatively close to the Cosita totem."According to my memory, I was walking on the approach road in front of the car, and two women kept poking their heads out to ask if they had arrived. Sitting in the car was like driving animals. When I reached a depth of 120 meters, I raised my right arm high and looked towards He pointed to his left hand, indicating that the car could stop.

Seventeen or eight meters away from the Cosita totem, a large piece of rock collapsed, and a crack as high as a person appeared. Deep in the ruins, there was indeed something hidden. I picked up something, but unfortunately it was illuminated by the beam of light and shone brightly. I walked forward, picked up the broken pieces and rubbed them on my fingertips. It was still the kind of cement coating mixed with gravel and sawdust. Someone deliberately smoothed the cracks in the mountain. , don’t want anyone to find out the secret

"Found it last night? Why are you hiding this from us?"Krys squeezed Sister Di away and jumped out of the car. He ran to the ruins and poked his head around, asking

"Since I'm not sure if it's because of my eyesight, isn't it a good thing that I just remembered it now?"I turned around and pointed at Sister Di, and said with a smile:"If I had told you yesterday without thinking, then the national detectives would have abandoned the hillside and came here to investigate. In this way, the cable TV people would also pay attention to it. But then, wouldn't it be even more fruitless for Dixie?"

"You did the right thing, this secret is known to you and I, and the three of us should not reveal it to anyone. Sister Di also nodded repeatedly after hearing the news. She went down to the rock and looked around, squinting and said,"There should be some space in here. Let me go in and take a look.""
