“Glenn, you and Mark check the left side. Ronald and Allen search the right. Be careful of traps.”
Peter quickly ordered his team to check the entire second floor while he stood in place and started browsing his memory. On the other hand, Ben checked the corpses one by one carefully.
The four helpers also curiously followed behind Ben in silence. Due to Peter’s exclusion of their existence in spiritual communication, they got no idea about the situation at all.
However, they still knew that finding out several corpses in this abandoned building was not a good thing at all. Moreover, the victims seemed to be killed in a certain evil sacrifice.
The silent atmosphere and the presence of corpses brought down chills on their back which was already been soaked wet at unknown time.
But curiosity was constantly driving them to seek the identities of the victims.
Two cops felt that they should know it due to their duty and responsibility while the two folk men were simpler. They just wanted to bring the bad news to the families of victims even if it would make them sad.
After all, getting to know the truth and being sad is much better than living in hope without any clue.
Sometimes, hope hurts with followup expectations.
“There is nothing at our side.”
Glenn and Mark came back soon. Their voice brought Peter back to reality.
“I see.”
Just after he replied, Ronald and Allen arrived.
“Peter, you’ve gotta come and see it yourself.”
It was Ronald. However, his usual lively voice seemed a little shaken at this time.
Peter turned his head to look at the duo and saw Allen shaking his head at him.
He turned to nod at Ben and gestured Glenn and Mark to stay behind in the hall before stepping forwards to the right side of the second floor.
After following behind Ronald and Allen into the somewhat narrow passage for them, Peter quickly reached their destination. It is just at the room beside the middle hall.
At the door, Peter had to bend down and rotate his upper body a little to the side to enter the room. Then, he swept the entire room quickly with his spiritual sense. He immediately found out the reason why Ronald lost his lively voice.
It is a very clean room. It could even be said that there was nothing in the room. Nothing at all. Not even a single furniture.
However, in the middle of this empty room, there is a small body quietly lying flat on the floor.
Unlike the victims in the middle hall, there is not even a single nail on the small body. She is just lying flat like a sleeping disney princess in fairy tale stories.
But, her entire body is full of stitches. Due to her clothes, many stitches are not visible.
Peter keenly noticed that it was probably a cute young girl of around four or five years old when she was alive. Of course, it is now just a cold body on the floor.
Thinking about how she could have been living her innocent life, he recalled his eldest daughter Flora for a moment. Children have always been a weakness for Peter.
No one spoke. In the silence, Peter crouched down on his left knee and reached out his hand to the air above the corpse. In the darkness, a light quietly emerged.
If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Not from the light bulb nor from the flashlight. But it was from the hand of Peter.
A group of small light spots which were wrapping around Peter’s right hand brought a little warmth to the dark room. However, it also made the three men able to see the corpse clearer than before.
Although he had already seen it in detail with his spiritual sense, Peter still couldn’t accept it when he saw it with his eyes clearly. It was just too miserable.
Stitches after stitches. The only intact place might be her face. Peter got no idea how long it had been but the corpse in front of him was well preserved. It only looked a little like a mummified corpse due to the loss of water in her body.
Peter touched the arm and probed with his spiritual sense. Strangely, there were still blood in her arteries and veins. With doubts, Peter picked the body, stood up and handed it over to Ronald.
Only at that time, he noticed the small magic cycle painted on the floor with blood.
It was under the little girl’s corpse before and Peter’s normal spiritual probe was not able to directly see through the little girl’s corpse.
Peter stood in place and started browsing his memories again. This time, he got the answer.
Combining with vicious things in the middle hall, he guessed a thing or two.
It made him sigh in helplessness and took a glance at the pale and bloodless face of little girl’s corpse in Ronald’s princess hug. It made him sigh again as he imagined about her youthful life.
After all, the princess is dead and she is just a cold corpse now. Not to mention that there is only a head left intact in her whole body. Her mother surely doesn’t have a heart to do this on her cute daughter.
How could someone dare to act upon a little girl like her? And it was such a cruel and heavy hand.
“Go back to the middle hall. I need to talk.”
Peter directly walked back to the middle hall unhurriedly while thinking about what exactly happened.
When he got back in the hall, the eyes of Ben and the guys were attracted by the little girl’s corpse in Ronald’s arms.
Two police officers and two folk men, who were staring at the nailed corpse on the wall, were also woken up by the sounds of footsteps.
Peter took off his helmet and said calmly, “This is a sacrificial ceremony to revive a dead person.”
He glanced at the corpse of little girl and continued, “The four young women were the victims of the beloved person of this little girl. I think it must be her mother. Motherly love is great and they can do crazy things for their children at sometimes, especially without thinking about others.
For some reasons, her attempt to revive her daughter failed. Her young daughter might have faced crazy things to become the current appearance. However, this just doesn’t justify her killing of four young women.”
Peter turned his head to look at the corpses nailed on the three walls and said, “But of course, I don’t know whether these women were of those who committed inhuman acts on the young child or not.
I don’t know anything. But there is someone out there who can give the answers to us.
If I am not wrong, the sudden hostile sight I sensed earlier might be the mother of this young girl.”
“Now, gentlemen, let’s seek the final answer. May be her mommy is already on the way to us.”
He said while putting back his helmet.
Ronald suddenly asked, “What about the corpses in the hall and the body of little girl?”
Ben speechlessly slapped the back of Ronald head and said, “Are you going to run around with a corpse on your back? Come on, we are going to fight if necessary. Put it down here.”
Peter paused for a moment and said, “Wait, take the corpse of young girl with you. With her, we might be able to find her mother faster.”
After a while, the crowd got out of the old building. As soon as they got out of the building, Peter immediately raised his fisted left hand and stopped the team.
His extraordinary sixth sense was warning him that there was a hint of danger ahead.
The team quickly dispersed into a fan-shape formation, took out their big shields and aimed their gun muzzles in the direction where Peter was looking at. Unfortunately, they don’t have spiritual sense like Peter yet. But they knew that that day would not be too far.
Seeing the sudden movement of the big guys, four normal men held their guns tightly and retreated a few steps. They couldn’t wait to find a good cover to avoid being damaged accidentally.
They didn’t feel that they would be able to cope with mysterious enemy in the shadow.
Moreover, they didn’t come along to participate in the fight. They are just here to show the way.
Peter also took out his sword and shield and got ready to fight while his spiritual sense was probing at the surrounding environment nonstop like a radar.
Suddenly, he noticed the large object moving towards them in a normal walking speed at a distance.
“Get ready. Something big incoming.”
Peter shouted and alerted his team while also pointing out the direction with sword. This time, he simply didn’t rely on spiritual network of the armor and used his spiritual sense to deliver the message.
So, the four normal men also heard the sudden sound of Peter and was greatly surprised.
After all, the clear sound was like as if Peter talked to them from the side. But they quickly calmed down and accepted the magicalness. Nevertheless, they had seen a lot of mysterious things today.
