Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 430 The Order and the Laboratory
Jim led Xu Wang and his group away from the hospital quickly.

As for the mess left behind by the spatial passage, the town's mayor no longer had time to deal with it.

Anyway, according to Xu Wang, these things were all made by the people at Hawkins National Laboratory.

Jim had no obligation to cover it up for them.

Moreover, given Jim's fearless nature...

Once he finishes his current case, he'll definitely have to go and hold the lab accountable again.

Jim didn't want such a terrifying time bomb buried beneath his town.

After the bureau chief and Xu Wang left.

The doctors and nurses who had been watching immediately started discussing it.

Others went up to check the overturned stretcher.

The tall doctor who had been frantically calling out to Jim earlier slowly withdrew from the crowd at this moment.

He went to the office alone, picked up the landline phone, dialed a number, and made the call.

"Dudu-"

The call was quickly answered, and a somewhat subdued female voice came from the other end: "Who is it?"

The tall doctor switched hands to hold the receiver, leaned back against the landline, and glanced warily at the office door, ready to hang up at any moment: "Hello, Mrs. Mocardi, this is Ryan."

Inside the Green Lion Antique Shop in Hawkins, a small town.

Mokadi, in his forties with long, flowing hair, seemed to be constantly under mental stress as he held a phone.

Hearing that it was a familiar name, he nodded and asked, "What do you want?"

Dr. Ryan spoke quickly: "Your offerings have been delivered to the hospital, and although the sacrifice was successful, the realm of the gods has been discovered by Jim Hopper and Benny Hammond."

Mokadi was taken aback by these words, then his gaze darkened, and he said with a hint of madness, "Kill them! Sacrifice them! We absolutely cannot let them become obstacles to the birth of the gods!"

You don't need to worry about this; I'll take care of it.

Hopper's position as director should have been held by someone from our order.

Now we can do both things at the same time.

Renn was not surprised by Mocardi's reaction.

But he made this call in such a hurry not just for Jim and the others.

As a member of the Order as well, Dr. Raine knew very well what the Order needed most right now.

He then asked, "Is it possible to contact Priest Gilesby?"

Dalia Gilesby, the leader of the Order, is a legendary figure who is said to have lived through the fire decades ago.

All members of the order acted in accordance with her will.

However, she seems to have always lived in the "divine realm" and rarely comes to the mortal world.

It was very inconvenient for the members of the cult to contact Dalia.

Mrs. Mokadi, the current owner of Green Lion Antiques, is one of the few people who can contact Dalia.

Upon hearing Dalia's name, Mokadi immediately perked up: "Priestess Gilesby? What do you want with her? If it's just about Hopper and the others, there's no need to bother the High Priestess."

"No, I found test subject number 11."

Dr. Raine glanced at the office door again to make sure no one came in, then quickened his pace and continued, "A test subject child went missing last night at Hawkins National Laboratory. Do you remember him? He's the one the High Priest asked us to keep a close eye on, number 11."

Mokadi, reminded by Rein, suddenly remembered and became excited: "You mean, that child with a powerful soul, suitable for the birth of a god?!"

The lab hadn't even found her yet, and you found her!

Renn was also somewhat delighted: "God bless us."

The incarnation ceremony has been a goal that the religious order has been trying to achieve for over a hundred years.

It is said that the fire that burned Silent Hill down decades ago was a ritual presided over by Priestess Dalia.

The ritual failed as a result.

Not only did no gods descend, but Silent Hill was also burned to ashes.

This greatly reduced the influence of the religious order in this land!
Decades after the fire.

The town of Hawkins was rebuilt on the site of Silent Hill.

As before, the cult once again infiltrated all levels of society in Hawkins.

This naturally includes Hawkins National Laboratory.

Then Little Eleven's information was delivered to Dalia.

This young, energetic, and incredibly powerful soul instantly captured Dalia's attention.

Without a doubt, Little Eleven would be an extremely suitable offering for the birth of a god!

After taking a liking to Xiao Shiyi.

Dalia had been trying to get her.

One of Dalia's ideas was to connect Eleven to the Inverse World during the synesthetic experiment.

Originally, this was according to Dalia's plan.

She planned to use the reverse world portal to remove Little Eleven from the laboratory.

As a result, things went wrong.

Instead of entering the Reverse World, Xiao Shiyi took the opportunity to escape from the laboratory.

This made the religious order very anxious.

Little Eleven ran away.

It's not just the people in the lab who are searching; the members of the cult are searching as well.

Because Little Eleven is very important for the divine descent ritual, all members of the cult, including Raine, received a photo of Little Eleven last night.

A cute little girl with a buzz cut.

This image is very vivid.

There's no way Ryan would admit he's wrong.

It is precisely because they know the importance of Little Eleven.

So when Ryan saw Little Eleven in the rehabilitation room, he knew that his chance to make a difference had come!

This news must be conveyed to High Priest Gilesby!

This has been confirmed by Renn.

Mrs. Mocardi, inside the Green Lion Antique Shop, also seemed very excited: "I will report this to the High Priest, Vincent. Make sure someone keeps a close eye on her and makes sure she doesn't run away again."

It was clearly two people on the phone.

But Mokadi suddenly announced the name of a third person.

Renn was not surprised by this.

Instead, he added, "Vincent, I'll treat you to a drink once this is done."

After saying that, both Ryan and Mocardi hung up the phone.

at the same time.

Hawkins National Laboratory.

Inside a secluded room.

Vincent, whom Ryan and Mocardi mentioned, was sitting here with other surveillance personnel, constantly monitoring all the telephone lines in Hawkins town.

He had overheard the conversation between Ryan and Mocardi.

The cult's infiltration of Hawkins was almost ubiquitous.

They naturally already knew that the lab had been monitoring everyone in the town.

If Vincent hadn't been planted in the lab, Rein and the others wouldn't have dared to make such casual calls.

With a blank expression, Vincent raised his hand and pressed a button on the machine in front of him.

I captured the audio of the conversation between Renn and Mocardi.

Then he took off his headphones, pulled the tape out of the machine, and stood up directly from his workstation.

"Vincent, what's wrong?"

The head of the monitoring department asked Vincent a question, somewhat puzzled by his reaction.

Vincent's previously expressionless face suddenly broke into a smile: "Supervisor, I need to see Dr. Brenner."

Ten minutes later, in an office deep inside the laboratory.

With white hair, wearing a well-fitting suit, and looking to be around seventy or eighty years old, Martin Brenner looked at Vincent in front of him with a serious expression.

"Vincent, I'll treat you to a drink once this is done..."

The tape has finished playing, and the recording is complete.

Vincent put down the cassette player, looked up at Dr. Brenner across from him, and said, "That's it. The Order has found Number 11, and she's with the town chief right now."

Dr. Brenner nodded in satisfaction, smiled, and patted Vincent on the shoulder: "Well done. Thanks to you, otherwise these religious fanatics would have been a real problem." Vincent smiled back at him.

He was indeed a member of the cult at the beginning, that's for sure.

But following the cult is nowhere near as promising as following Dr. Brenner.

It's just a cult group that occupies a small town and spends its days researching crazy rituals.

The other one represents a state organ.

Not to mention, Brenner offered him a substantial salary to ensure he could perform his double agent duties well.

He really wants to improve!
Thinking about the wonderful life ahead, Vincent became excited again and asked, "Doctor, what should I do next?"
"Continue to lie low, follow their orders, and send someone to arrest Number 11?"

"of course."

Brenner nodded: "The cult sends its people, and we send ours. There's no conflict."

I want those cult lunatics, and I want Number 11 too!

Vincent immediately gave a thumbs up and flattered, "Doctor! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

Brenner usually dislikes such flattery, but after receiving news from the 11th, he was in a much better mood and generously offered a promise: "If you work hard, the future supervisor position will be yours."

"I promise I will live up to your expectations!"

Vincent became even more agitated upon hearing this, and immediately took his leave, leaving the office to inform the other members of the cult.

He could only release intelligence.

As for when the religious group would take action or who would be sent, he had no idea.

Anyway, the lab's field staff will keep an eye on number 11.

Once the cult takes action, they can follow suit.

Everyone understands the principle of the mantis stalking the cicada.

Those involved are simply unaware that they are either the mantis or the cicada.

The seemingly peaceful town of Hawkins is now seething with undercurrents.

However, most residents are still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

Xu Wangxian and Jim hitched a ride back to Paradise Tavern.

The tavern owner is still here, seemingly waiting for Jim to return.

Upon seeing the director, immediately tell him that the animal clinic staff had come and removed the dog's body.

Jim thanked them and then told Xu Wang and the others to get into the police car, and they drove away together.

The town mayor's intuition told him that Sandy Sloan, who reported his dog missing, was probably acting strangely.

But he simply doesn't have time to deal with Mrs. Sloane's matter right now.

The town has limited police resources.

Since Jack may have already been killed.

The next and more important task should be to save Will's life as much as possible.

Only by rescuing Will can we have the time to continue investigating Jack and Mrs. Sloane's case.

So while Jim was driving to Byers’ house, he also radioed Aunt Flora at the police station.

Inform her that she no longer needs to look for Mrs. Sloane.

They then contacted officers Phil and Carl, who were still investigating at the school.

Let them all go to the Bayes house to gather.

After doing all this, Chief Jim hung up the radio, let out a long breath, and stepped on the gas.

The police car turned a corner and sped off along the highway outside the town!

Benny's Burger is already quite out of the way.

But the Byers’ cabin was even more remote.

It was built directly in the forest.

The Byers family is a single-parent family.

Joyce Byers, a single mother, is raising her two children on her own.

The eldest son, Jonathan, is also in high school.

But in order to supplement his family's income, he often went out to work, and thus went to school less often.

Will Byers is the youngest son in the family.

Being born into this family led to Will having a rather weak personality.

Normally at school, he only has Mike and his three friends.

Joyce devoted almost all her time to work in order to take care of her two sons.

Daily care naturally decreased.

This morning, Joyce woke up a little later than usual because she was working the night shift.

When she first arrived, only her eldest son, Jonathan, was making breakfast in the house.

Will was nowhere to be seen.

At first, the two thought Will was still sleeping in.

Will was still not found in the room.

When I called Will's friend Mike, I was told that Will had left at 8 p.m. last night.

Then, they couldn't find anyone at the school either.

Now Joyce and Jonathan were really worried!

They realized that Will was very likely missing.

Joyce, who had been on edge and bravely taking care of her family, suddenly broke down!
She immediately went to the police station to report the incident to Jim.

Then he and Jonathan searched the streets for places where Will might be.

As a result, the morning passed and he still didn't care.

Hawkins is a small town to begin with.

The town has several hundred households, and almost everyone knows each other.

There's no way the child could get lost.

If you make a few more phone calls, someone will eventually have a lead.

In such an environment, if the child cannot be found, it means Will's situation may be more dangerous than imagined.

Joyce dared not think in that direction.

But the more this happened, the more Joyce couldn't help but overthink.

The eldest son, Jonas, was still out searching for Will.

Joyce went home first to see if Will had returned on his own.

While I was at it, I took all the money in the house and went to the print shop to print Will's missing person notice.

As a mother, these are all she can think of right now.

Bayes' family wasn't wealthy, or rather, they were quite poor.

Joyce was just a supermarket cashier, and her monthly income was limited.

Not to mention having any savings.

By the time the missing person notices were printed, the Byers family's savings were practically depleted.

At this moment, Bayes had just come out of the room and stuffed the only savings in the house into his pocket.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of tires crushing gravel outside.

A car is coming.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

Joyce quickly went to open the door.

I spotted Chief Jim immediately, along with Benny, Xu Wang, and Xiao Shiyi behind him.

"Jim?! You found Will?!"

Joyce was pleasantly surprised to see the director!

But Jim's head-shaking gesture sent the mother's heart sinking once again.

So she said, somewhat exasperated, "I don't have time to chat with you right now. I'm sorry, I have to go to the print shop."

As he spoke, Joyce tried to squeeze through the door.

Jim then grabbed her shoulders and said sternly, "Listen! Calm down! Joyce, we have a way to help you find Will!"
