Chapter 33 Black Lake Three
About an hour later.
Mr. Stork and Miss Seagull returned together, along with three uniformed security officers. One of them was tall, handsome, blond and blue-eyed. He was the sheriff that Gillan saw on the poster. .
It is understood that his name is "Pierre Aich" and he is a star figure in the local police department.
Because he is young, handsome, and has superb marksmanship, he is often invited by the local tourism bureau to shoot some promotional advertisements or posters to promote the tourism industry of "Faye Lane Town".
But when Mr. Stork and his party returned to the hotel, Old Toto in the bar on the first floor saw the three police officers of Pierret who were accompanying them, and couldn't help but sneered again:
"The Public Security Bureau and the Tourism Bureau are the law." The borers in Yelan'en are the same as the guys in the coal mines, sawmills, and beverage factories! They are all outsiders covered in copper-stinking pus and blood who only want to destroy the town's environment and drain the town. Resources, in exchange for those dirty money... What you have done has awakened the devil in the Black Lake, and you will be punished sooner or later!"
In this regard, Sheriff Piere who was traveling with him did not. Careless, just smile and shake your head.
After going upstairs, he explained to everyone:
"The full name of 'Old Toto' is 'Thomas Toto'. He has no wife and no children. There used to be a man who returned from other places. The distant nephew "Little Toto" worked in the "Black Lake Coal Mine", but later died in an explosion accident... Since then, Old Toto has always hated the coal mine and cursed all industries started by outsiders. It even includes the Public Security Bureau and the Tourism Bureau, because we are all deployed from other places.”
Everyone understood something after listening to Sheriff Pierre's words.
Afterwards, Mr. Stork found an excuse to temporarily dismiss the three magistrates, allowing members of the recording congregation to have a chance to communicate privately.
After hearing about the attack on Mr. Oystercatcher and the discovery of the mysterious parchment, both Mr. Stork and Miss Seagull seemed very interested.
"'Elixir of Age'? Perhaps such an alchemical masterpiece really exists!"
Mr. Stork looked delighted.
But Mr. Oystercatcher smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Unfortunately, the parchment was snatched back, and I only saw a small part of the content... It seems that the main materials mentioned are 'blood of the living', 'water of the black lake' and 'human heart' , and some weird sacrificial rituals."
"Living sacrifice?"
Hearing this, Miss Sparrow couldn't help but cover her mouth.
Others also showed awe-inspiring expressions.
"I also met a guy who was spying behind the hotel before..."
At this time, Jilan shared his experience with the members of the community, but he did not say that he had killed the person, but said The mistake allowed the man to escape.
No one was suspicious of his words.
"Reindeer mask, lake god and elixir..." Mr. Stork looked thoughtful after hearing Gillan's clues. "Most of the two people you met are cultists of the 'Lake God Sect'. I just don't understand why one of them suddenly disappeared."
"Maybe it's someone they control. A mysterious power? ”
Miss Seagull frowned slightly and guessed.
"It's very possible." Mr. Stork nodded. "It's no wonder that they stay in the depths of the forest park, wander around the black lake, and constantly hunt and kill living people... It seems that they want to refine the so-called 'elixir'!"
"Next, let's go to the Forest Park with the heroine Fima."
Mr. Stork said solemnly, wielding his steel-core cane.
“This time, Mr. Snow Owl joined us, and three police officers followed us. We will be more confident when we encounter another attack from the cult members of the ‘Lake God Sect’... If we can get them The mysterious knowledge you master will also have extraordinary power in reality!”
But his words did not arouse much expectation from the other members.
Perhaps the living sacrifice is too shocking, or it may be that Mr. Oystercatcher, Miss Seagull and Miss Sparrow still have their consciences. Even though they yearn for mysterious power, they are not willing to go against human nature in order to obtain such power. Conscience.
Especially Miss Sparrow, ever since she heard that the main material of the "elixir" is "human blood and human heart", her face has not been good and her mood has been relatively low.
Only Gillan's reaction was smaller. In his opinion, if a living sacrifice is really needed to obtain mysterious power, then the Lewis family and the police search team who are chasing him will be the best sacrifices!

The time soon arrived in the afternoon.
After everyone had a simple meal in the bar hall on the first floor, at Fima's suggestion, they went to the forest park in the north of the town.
It is worth mentioning that the five people in the recording session, as "movie viewers", could also taste extremely real flavors while eating and drinking in the movie, and even felt full.
A group of nine people got into a large carriage equipped by the Public Security Bureau and drove north along the main road of the town. After about ten minutes, they arrived at their destination.
After getting off the car, everyone saw the entrance of the Forest Park at a glance.
It was a double wrought iron fence gate. The arched billboard on the top was painted with cute images of wild animals, but the paint had peeled off in large areas, making it look a bit dilapidated and eerie.
Creak...
Everyone opened the door and went in, walked through a path, and came to an exhibition hall. There are many specimens of wild animals on display, ranging from squirrels to brown bears, with more than 20 species in total.
In particular, the three-meter-high rectangular glass cabinet in the center contains a mammoth skeleton specimen, which is said to be 14,000 years old.
Everyone in the community looked at the mammoth skeleton specimen and marveled.
Even Miss Sparrow, who comes from the wealthiest family, has never seen such a novel thing, and her little face is full of curiosity and admiration.
Ke Jilan looked confused.
‘Mammoths were so small? ’
Based on his visual inspection, the mammoth specimen in the glass display cabinet is about 2.5 meters tall at the shoulder. But as a young person on earth in the new century, I often watch popular science programs. It stands to reason that the shoulder height of mammoths should be more than 3.3 meters.
‘Maybe it’s a dwarf species or a young mammoth...’
Gilan shook his head.
But just when he was about to look back, he was suddenly startled.
The mammoth specimen is made up of hundreds of bones, but from Gillan's perspective, the bones on its chest actually look like a human skull that has been enlarged several times!
‘Is it an illusion? ’ Ji Lan’s eyes narrowed, but the more he looked, the more he felt like it. 'How could there be such a mammoth... The chest is simply a huge deformed human head! ’
The hollows on both sides of the mammoth specimen’s chest are like a pair of dark eyes, staring at Gilan through the cracks of time, exuding unspeakable malice.
"Mr. Snow Owl?"
At this moment, Miss Sparrow called him.
Ji Lan woke up from her trance and felt a cold sweat break out on her back.
He turned his head, not wanting to look at the mammoth specimen anymore.
"It's time for us to leave. There's still a long way to go from here to the Black Lake. We have to reach our destination before the sun goes down."
Miss Sparrow turned back and lowered her head. sound reminder.
“Well, I get it.”
Ji Lan nodded and took steps to follow.
