Chapter 255 Gluttony Ritual
The next morning, Camus got up early because he needed to go to the special team to learn Sumerian, make-up, voice change and disguise. Camus walked to the door of his yard and immediately saw a somewhat shabby carriage parked at the door of his house. The driver took off his hat and saluted when he saw Camus.
"Hi... sir, where do you need to go?" Looking at this middle-aged sheep man with a somewhat vicissitudes of life, Camus also took off his hat and saluted. He glanced at the house behind him and spoke in a slightly calmer tone.
"No, you are responsible for the travel of the two ladies. If you have time, come to Maria Street around 6 o'clock in the evening opposite the Hodo Cafe to wait for me." Camus thought about it and decided not to take the car. Taylor still needs to go to school, so he will take the carriage.
"Okay, sir, I got it." The driver bowed and sent Camus away. He patted his old friend, "I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult situation. This family is not aristocratic, but the work is very easy."
After half an hour, Camus arrived at the special team. The first floor of the special team was still so busy. Camus also saw Sophia, who was busy and blushing. He did not disturb her and went upstairs slowly.
"Good morning, Mr. Lin." Camus pushed open the door of the office and saw Lin eating breakfast. He greeted him politely.
"Good morning, Mr. Camus. After a night of settling down, I feel better. How about you?" Lin smiled at Camus and seemed to be in a good mood.
"I hope everything goes well. Your breakfast is good."
"Oh, come and eat together." Lin immediately pulled open the stool next to him and invited Camus to eat together. It must be said that the breakfast brought by Lin was very good. The two even burped at the end of the meal.
"Not bad, very delicious." Camus commented after eating the last piece of bread.
"I did it. Actually, I rarely cook for myself. I haven't cooked for myself for three years. Yesterday, I just had the urge to cook a little." Lin smiled and his eyes became slits when he heard the praise.
"Dong Dong..."
The two had just finished breakfast when they heard the door open. Sophia came in with today's information. She walked in front of Lin and handed him the information.
"This is a special case that needs to be handled today. You need to determine whether it is an extraordinary event."
Lin slowly flipped through the files. There were only three cases. There were no major problems with the first two, except that the dead were a little bloody. Until the third case, Lin's eyes suddenly became a group. The information showed that at about 4 o'clock last night, a bloody massacre occurred in the Triumph District. The family of the new Minister of Finance of Caldic City all died last night, and the head and intestines of the mayor's family were missing.
"Go to the Triumph District." Lin spoke immediately. He stood up and walked out quickly. Camus frowned secretly. An extraordinary event happened yesterday. Could it be that another one happened today? This frequency is too high, right?
"Mr. Camus, are you coming with me?" Seeing that Camus was unmoved and still stayed here, Sophia reminded him. Camus nodded immediately and followed Sophia to the Triumphal District.
When Camus arrived at the Triumphal District, the area around the incident had been under martial law. Outside the martial law circle, well-dressed capitalists and some government officials were watching from the outside. Camus even saw Mayor Brody, who had not seen him for a long time. Because of the nourishment of power, he now exuded a temperament of awe without anger. Camus even heard his angry voice from a distance.
"You don't even know who the murderer is? What do you do for a living? Go check it out for me." In front of him was a middle-aged inspector. His eyes were slightly deep, his lips were slightly thin, and he exuded an elegant temperament, but his face was very bad. Mayor Brody's saliva even sprayed on his face.
"The dead finance minister was Mayor Brody's confidant. How could Mayor Brody not be angry if he died?" Sophia next to him also saw Mayor Brody roaring not far away. He whispered in Camus' ear about the relationship between Mayor Brody and the deceased.
"Go in, the information is too vague." Camus shrugged as he looked at the quiet white villa, and walked over with Sophia. Lin had entered before them, and Camus was seen by Mayor Brody. He took a deep breath, walked in front of Camus, and spoke in a calm tone.
"Long time no see, Mr. Camus." Mayor Brody stretched out his hand lightly. His respect for Camus was entirely based on Fiona's feelings.
"Good morning, Mayor Brody." Camus smiled and raised his hand. He glanced inside and found that there were still a group of nobles in the yard. Camus even saw an acquaintance, Monty Smith, the viscount who was a little bloated and well-funded.
"Sorry, I need to go in." Seeing this, Camus said apologetically. After saying goodbye to Mayor Brody, he walked into the yard.
"Good morning, Mr. Camus." Monty Smith spoke somewhat unnaturally after seeing Camus. Only then did Camus see that Mr. Smith's face was a little pale, and there were even traces of vomit at the corners of his mouth. Seeing this, Camus immediately looked towards the house. In order to maintain politeness, Camus still greeted him.
"What's wrong? Mr. Smith, are you okay?"
"It's okay. I think you don't want to see the scenes inside." Smith shook his head slightly. He also knew the purpose of Camus coming here, so he kindly reminded him.
"Oh... I know, I'll go in and take a look first." Camus was immediately mentally prepared. He walked in, and Sophia behind him hesitated for a moment, and followed him in.
"Ugh..." Before Camus entered the house, Lin ran out with his mouth covered with a livid face. He immediately squatted in the corner and vomited. Seeing this, Camus felt a little nervous. He walked over and patted him on the back, his tone slightly rough.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I ate too much breakfast today, and I can't hold it back because I feel a little nauseous." Lin stood up with a pale face and walked in again.
"Are you still going? Or wait for us outside?" Seeing that Lin had vomited, Camus reminded Sophia gentlemanly.
"No need, I'm also a member of the special team." Sophia spoke with a resolute face. Camus saw that he stopped blocking her and walked into the house.
"This..." Camus was shocked by the hell in front of him as soon as he entered the house. He saw that the luxurious house was covered with bloodstains, the floor, ceiling, gas lamps, sofas, handrails, stairs, and white walls were covered with bloodstains, which was extremely dazzling.
"The body is inside. I hope you can hold on." Jin, who was walking in front, pointed to the innermost room and spoke faintly. Camus felt a toothache for a moment. He avoided the blood under his feet and walked to the door of the room.
"Fuck... Ugh..." Camus just took a look and felt his stomach rising. He quickly covered his mouth and ran out. Following him was Sophia. Her face was pale and terrified. The bold expression just now disappeared without a trace.
After vomiting, Camus walked back in. Although he felt nauseous at this time, he had adapted to it a little, but he still felt uncomfortable when he saw this bloody hell.
There were 8 people hanging in the small room. They were big and small, men and women, old and children. They had blood-red cloth tied around their necks and their mouths were filled with unknown substances. Even after death, their mouths were still moving, swallowing unknown substances. Because their necks were tied, the unknown substances could only move in their mouths. Their stomachs were bloody and their internal organs were flowing on the ground. The internal organs and the high-hanging corpses were in a straight line, like pigs. Because the room was closed not long after death, it was filled with a strong smell of blood and stench. There were streaks of blood on the walls of the room. Camus even saw a vague inverted triangle sign and a cross sign on the wall. Camus looked at this cruel picture and turned his head away immediately.
"There are eight people in total. I suspect they are affected by the gluttony ritual. You see... Even if they are dead, they are still trying to eat. These internal organs are not missing. The only thing missing is the large intestine, which is completely in line with the characteristics of the gluttony ritual." Lin pointed to the moving mouths of several corpses and spoke gloomily.
"What's the matter with the bloodstains outside the house? Didn't anyone notice it?" Camus turned his head to look at the bloodstains outside, and then looked at the bloodstains inside the house, analyzing the relationship.
"They were killed outside the house. This is just a place to deal with corpses. They are all ordinary people. A powerful extraordinary person could have killed them without anyone noticing." Sophia spoke from a distance. After she vomited, she was unwilling to approach the house.
"No, they were tortured to death, or they died of self-torture. Look at these walls and ceilings. Only torture and struggle can spray so much blood. If it is inferred that it is a gluttony ritual, I suspect they died of self-torture." Lin rejected Sophia's inference and said his own inference.
"Self-torture? Are there children here? Are all eight people crazy?" Sophia spoke in disbelief. She really couldn't figure out how crazy they were to treat themselves so cruelly.
"They were controlled by the desire for gluttony. At that time, they were no longer human." Camus immediately understood what Lin meant. After solving the previous experience, he spoke calmly.
"There are no notes, no traces, and the other party has collected three ritual materials." Lin walked into the room full of corpses and searched for it. He walked out with blood on his hands and shook his head at Camus.
"Wait, this is not their style." Looking at Lin's bloody hands, Camus suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He immediately spoke gloomily. Lin was stunned for a moment and then reacted.
"Trap."
"Roar..."
As soon as Lin's words came out, the eight corpses behind him suddenly opened their eyes. Their eyes were blood red and bleeding. As they woke up, the ceiling suddenly groaned under the heavy load.
"Sophina, run." Camus exclaimed immediately, and then raised his legs and ran out.
"Damn... the box is outside." Lin wanted to wear the holy clothes, but he suddenly remembered that he had put the box outside when he vomited. Feeling the roar behind him, he cursed and ran out after Camus.
"Run..."
Because it was not far from the outside, Camus roared after going out, and the crowd was stunned. When they saw the bloody monsters behind Lin, they screamed and fled in all directions.
"The starlight protects me." Lin ran to the door and rolled over to pick up the box. As the rich silver light lit up, a strong man in black armor appeared in everyone's sight.
"Damn it..."
Even though Lin attracted the attention of most monsters, there was still a monster that pounced on Camus. After he cursed, he was slapped away by a claw.
