Chapter 286 Please Close Your Eyes at Midnight

"The local police said that a similar case happened half a month ago. The victim was a bank employee, and his face was also torn off." Coulson said in a deep voice: "The police have been looking for clues to the murderer, but have not been able to find any. It seems that the murderer should be the same person."

In this way, the body was sent to the police station, and SHIELD was responsible for continuing to examine the body. In the morgue, Simmons slowly opened the body bag, and she soon found something wrong with the body.

"Commander Lister, I think you should come and see it in person." Simmons said with a surprised expression.

"I refuse. I'm tired of seeing this kind of thing." William said unhappily, "Describe to me, what did you find?"

"A black handprint..." Simmons' voice trembled a little.

William was stunned for a moment. He quickly looked towards the corpse and saw a dark blue handprint on the chest. The five fingers were clear, but the fingerprint was blurry, like a tattoo.

"Is that a tattoo?" Ward asked.

William curled his lips. Who would tattoo a black handprint on his chest? It would be better to tattoo Peppa Pig.

"It's a pity that the fingerprint of this handprint is not very clear, otherwise we can find out who the owner of this handprint is." Simmons said.

At this moment, Coulson received a call from the police station. His face suddenly changed, "Another accident, the third death!"

When they got there, the people were already dead, and they had died at home. The way they died was the same as the previous two. They both had their faces torn off and bled to death. This made William question himself. No matter what, the murderer must be a pervert.

"Wait a minute." William suddenly thought of something. This time he was not afraid of the corpse. After all, he was used to vomiting. Haha.

His expression suddenly changed, because there was a black handprint on the neck of the corpse. The handprint looked like it was grabbing the other person's neck, which looked very scary.

"How could this happen?" Everyone gasped. It was too weird. There was a mysterious black handprint on both bodies. It went without saying that the first body must have had such a handprint as well.

"Fitz, Simmons, go and compare the handprints on the three dead bodies immediately. The owner of these handprints may be the same person. We may be able to find out who the owner of these handprints is." William ordered.

For some reason, he always had a bad feeling, as if something was staring at them in the darkness.

When they came out of the deceased's house, a mysterious blonde woman rushed into the cordon at the door. She looked extremely panicked and said, "Are you from S.H.I.E.L.D.? Save me! That woman wants to kill me!"

Before she could finish, the woman fainted on the ground. William and the others didn't know what to do, so they had to take her to the Airbus.

"Hannah Huggins, female, 27 years old, an insurance company executive, has no previous criminal record, and is a good person." Coulson took a look at Hannah's personal information. The woman was lying on the sofa, as if she was asleep.

"Fitz, Simmons, have you found any information about the handprint?" William asked with a frown.

"We reassembled all three handprints, but there was still a part missing. However, we found the common points between the three deceased people."

"What do they have in common?"

"All three of them are members of a club, an outdoor adventure club called Sparks."

"And that woman named Hannah is also a member of this club!"

Their words surprised William a little, because he felt that the matter seemed to be getting more and more complicated.

It seems that this woman named Hannah must be related to these things.

At this moment, the comatose Hannah suddenly woke up. She seemed to have had a nightmare. Her body was shaking, her eyes were filled with fear, and she was mumbling something.

Skye immediately went over to comfort her, "It's okay, don't be afraid, tell us what happened, SHIELD will protect you!"

Hearing this, the fear in Hannah's eyes had not yet dissipated, and her voice trembled a little, "You won't believe this... We have been abandoned by God, he is punishing us, he will no longer protect us!"

"Why don't you protect you?" Coulson asked curiously.

"Because we have set the devil free, and that is blasphemy against God..."

"Devil? What devil?" William frowned when he heard Hannah's nonsense.

"That's a faceless woman. She has been haunting us. We shouldn't have let her off the island. She brought the curse of death. That devil will kill us all!"

Coulson and others were stunned for a moment, because Hannah's words were too surprising. As people from S.H.I.E.L.D., they often dealt with some very strange things, but they had never encountered the devil.

William looked at the woman in front of him. Hannah didn't seem to be talking, and then he seemed to see something strange on Hannah's neck.

He didn't notice at first, but there were some faint marks on her neck, but when you look closely, you can see that the marks look like hand prints, just like the black hand prints before!
"Don't be afraid." William poured Hannah a cup of steaming coffee. "You said there was a faceless devil chasing you. What happened? Tell me slowly."

Hannah held the coffee cup and stared at the coffee in it. She was suddenly immersed in the memory of the nightmare. She told William and others a horror story about the faceless man.

It turns out that Hannah and the three dead people were all adventure enthusiasts. They met at the Spark Club and then became good friends. One time, they were adventuring on an island and accidentally discovered the remains of a shipwreck on the seabed.

They didn't know how long the ship had been sunk in the sea. They were all good at diving, so they planned to go inside the wreckage to see if there was any treasure inside. When they went inside the wreckage, they found that it was full of skeletons. The clothes on these skeletons were not the same. They seemed to be from two camps. There had been a fierce battle on the ship, and then they sank to the bottom of the sea with the ship.

In the hand of a skeleton wearing a captain's hat, Hannah and her friends found a necklace inlaid with blue gems that looked priceless.

They secretly brought the necklace back and originally planned to sell it and divide the money among each person, but something strange soon happened.

Starting from the night they returned from the shipwreck, they had nightmares at night, dreaming of a faceless woman in a white dress wandering around their bed.

"Did you feel the air suddenly get colder?" Fitz said with a frightened expression.

"Go on, I love listening to ghost stories the most!" Simmons looked expectant.

"It's not surprising to have nightmares. Maybe it's because you are too nervous." Coulson said.

Hannah shook her head and said, "If I was the only one having the nightmare, that would be normal. The scariest thing is that we both dreamed of that faceless woman at the same time!"

Hannah's words made everyone afraid to speak, and William said in a deep voice: "Go on."

At first they were not too scared, after all, people who like adventure are generally brave. Until one day, strange handprints began to appear on one of them. After waking up from the nightmare, the man found a handprint on his chest. A few days ago, the handprint was very light, but slowly, the handprint became darker and darker.

Not long after, the man died, and his death was very scary. His whole face was torn off, and he lay in a pool of blood. Hannah and the others were finally scared. They realized the seriousness of the matter. There was something wrong with the necklace they brought back from the shipwreck. The necklace was probably cursed!
They were unable to find a suitable buyer, so the necklace remained unsold. So they decided to throw the necklace away, directly into the sea.

They thought the incident was over, but the nightmare had just begun. No matter where they threw the necklace, it would come back by itself, and soon, the strange black handprint appeared on someone else's body.

William and the others knew what happened next. The three died one after another, leaving only Hannah alive. When she thought she had escaped, she found that the handprint of death began to appear on her neck. The handprint was the devil's curse, and the terrifying faceless man was coming to kill her!

"Special conditions triggered, hidden mission begins!"

"Close your eyes at midnight: Investigate the truth about the faceless man, destroy the cursed necklace, and eliminate the devil!"

William was shocked when he heard Athena's voice. Damn, destroying the devil is also a hidden mission. Shouldn't this be the job of an exorcist, like Constantine or something?

No, Zha Kang is next door. We should look for the skeleton covered in fire.

"Please save me..." Hannah's eyes were filled with fear. "I don't want to die."

"Where is the necklace from the shipwreck?" William looked at Hannah and said, "We must find it. Maybe it is the source of the curse!"

A remote cemetery in New Mexico. The cemetery is shrouded in moonlight at night, with breeze blowing, as if the dead are whispering in the dark, exuding a strange atmosphere.

An old man wearing a cowboy hat was sweeping the graves. He was the gravekeeper here. He glanced at the tombstone in front of him. The inscription on it read: Carter Slay, may the power of angels be with you.

At this moment, two black jeeps drove slowly towards them. William and his friends got out of the car, and of course Hannah was also with them.

"Are you sure you hid the necklace here?" William looked around at the pale tombstones. To be honest, he already regretted coming here with Hannah. Who would have thought that this woman would hide the necklace in the cemetery.

"I asked an old priest for help, and he told me to bury the necklace under a birch tree in the cemetery. The more desolate and remote the cemetery is, the better. I searched all over New Mexico and felt that this place was suitable," Hannah explained.

"And after I buried the necklace here, it hasn't reappeared."

William rolled his eyes and asked, "Where did you find such a crooked priest? Putting the cursed necklace in a spooky cemetery will only make the devil stronger. You are clearly encouraging the enemy's arrogance."

Without taking time to complain, William quickly started digging the soil with shovels with everyone else. There were so many birch trees here that Hannah had forgotten which tree she had hidden the necklace under. They had no choice but to look for them one by one.

"Commander Lister, we found it!"

After an unknown amount of time, Fitz and Simmons found a wooden box under a birch tree. They opened the box and found a necklace inside, a silver necklace with a round blue gem sparkling in the moonlight.

"It's...it's this necklace." Hannah covered her mouth with one hand. She was very emotional. All her nightmares came from this thing brought out from the shipwreck.

"Wait a minute." Fitz's expression suddenly changed and he said, "How many of us are there in total?"

"What are you talking about?" Simmons frowned.

"Answer me quickly!"

Simmons counted carefully, "Captain Lister, Chief Coulson, Ward, Skye, May, Miss Hannah, you and me, a total of eight people, what's wrong?"

"Eight people?" Fitz's voice said in horror, "Whose shadow is that?"

The moonlight could clearly illuminate the shadows of William and others, a total of eight figures, but not far from them, there was a twisted black shadow, the ninth person!
William looked up and saw a figure in a white dress suddenly appearing in the moonlight. Her dress was tattered and stained with blood, and she was wearing rusty shackles on her feet.

"Faceless Man!" Hannah screamed with a look of fear, "The devil is coming for us!"
