Chapter 197: What is fear?

The words from the past memories are brought up again, as if reaching the present world again through the memories.

Lorenzo looked at everyone with a solemn and cold gaze.

It was as if language had magical power. As Lorenzo spoke softly, an unknown power slowly grew in places where the fire could not illuminate.

"It took us several days to reach the town. They called themselves Valley Town. Due to the inconvenient transportation and the strange fog, the locals had a strange and morbid feeling."

"The whole Valley Town has an extremely weird atmosphere, and according to the postman, there have been several horrific murders here... Actually, it can't be described as murders anymore, after all, it's very difficult for humans to do that."

"Those?" asked Hong Xun, seemingly fascinated.

"It was a very cruel massacre, almost like a sacrificial ritual of some weird religion."

Lorenzo said slowly.

"Humans have certain protective measures for their own kind. When you kill a human, you will instinctively feel a little disgusted, not to mention doing something more cruel, unless you are not a normal person or have undergone cruel training."

"Our arrival did not attract anyone's attention. It was even said that the local residents seemed to take the initiative to pretend not to see us. We finally arrived at the church in the valley town, and the priest there took us to the murder scenes."

"That's where we saw that cruel scene. Human bodies were hung up and cut up and slaughtered. And it wasn't a way of venting anger or some disgusting pleasure. The perpetrators slaughtered with a purpose, just like in a slaughterhouse, cutting only the parts they needed."

Lorenzo continued.

"This is far more bizarre than any mission I've ever experienced. If ordinary people encounter a demon, their injuries are usually caused by biting and gnawing. But this time is different. This mission is as bizarre as a demon, but the 'demon' has a clear mind, not to mention that we can't feel any erosion at the crime scene."

Although these words had no specific image, Hong Shun and the others felt the same nausea after hearing them, as if something was wriggling in their stomachs, and blood was surging in the stale air.

"So based on this inference, the perpetrator is a human, right?" said the robin. The lack of erosion showed that this incident had nothing to do with demons.

But Lorenzo did not answer directly;

"This is the weirdness of this mission. In fact, from the perspective of an outsider, all of this is full of loopholes, but when you are really in this moment... you will be lost, even for a demon hunter."

He still did not name the mysterious truth. The atmosphere gradually became suspenseful, and the unknown story revolved around the four people.

"There were several doubts at the time. We didn't know the purpose of the murderer, nor did we know the connection between the dead. Of course, the most important thing was why the priest didn't report to the church, but an almost crazy postman brought the information."

"After a brief meeting, our team temporarily linked this incident to the cult's sacrifice and will investigate step by step according to the teachings of the cult."
