I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

Chapter 61 Stepping into the Demon's Nest

The abandoned hotel's exterior walls were dilapidated, and the surrounding area was piled with foul-smelling garbage.

The armed mercenaries frowned, cautiously keeping watch around the hotel.

Akin skillfully inserted the wire into the keyhole of the hotel door.

They carefully pried open the door lock.

He had been arrested and imprisoned for theft.

After his release from prison, he supported his family by working as a pest control worker.

However, his meager salary was simply not enough to repay the high-interest loans he owed.

Under the ever-increasing threat of the gang,

Akin had no choice but to set his sights on his employer's jewelry.

Unfortunately, he sneaked into his employer's house under the cover of night.

However, they encountered "Night Demon," a deranged serial killer who was torturing and murdering his employer's family.

That is, the collector that Akin mentioned.

In the end, he could not escape the clutches of the Night Demon.

They were captured and tortured in this hotel.

However, today when Night Demon took Arkin, his 'toy,' out hunting...

He still managed to escape by sheer luck.

'Click'

The door lock clicked open, and Ah Jin successfully pried it open.

Akin seemed to be instructing Lucello:

"Be careful once you go in; it's like a maze, full of traps and mechanisms."

He then handed the wire back to Lucello and prepared to leave as agreed.

But just as he was about to take a step, Lucello grabbed his arm.

"So you have to lead us in."

"What did you say? That's not what we agreed on at the beginning!"

Akin roared angrily, trying to break free from Lucello and leave.

Seeing this, the mercenaries raised their guns and pointed them at the struggling Akin.

At this moment, Li Yuan, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke:

"Ah Jin, lead us to that girl, and I promise you'll get out of here alive."

Li Yuan also felt that Ah Jin was needed here.

In the movie, he is very alert and able to spot the traps set by the Night Demon.

The mercenaries all cast strange glances at Li Yuan, thinking he was exaggerating.

Captain Lucero nodded in agreement:

"That's right, Mr. Li has the capability."

Before he even met Li Yuan, he had received instructions from his employer, Charles Daddario.

He was warned that he must cooperate with Li Yuan's actions.

However, Akin didn't believe it, and he twisted his body wildly:

"You idiot, you have no idea what a terrifying being we're about to face!"

No, I know.

Li Yuan interrupted A Jin's roar, smiled, and reached out to hold the plaster cast on A Jin's left hand.

"I've seen beings far more terrifying than him."

Then Li Yuan tightened his fingers,

With a "crack," Li Yuan crushed the plaster cast on Ah Jin's left hand.

Ajin winced in pain and cursed:

"You bastard..."

Before he could finish cursing, he saw a dazzling golden light rise from Li Yuan's hand.

Li Yuan said with a friendly expression:

"Trust me, you will be safe."

Li Yuan summoned the power of holy light, but did not choose to heal A Jin.

It's best to maintain a certain level of pressure with this kind of person; being too nice to them won't do any good.

Looking at the strange scene before him, Ajin nervously swallowed.

"I...I'm a rough person, and I'm used to swearing. I hope you don't mind."

Li Yuan withdrew his holy light, smiled, and pointed to the door:

"It's okay, let's go."

The mercenaries also witnessed the strange scene and quickly abandoned their initial disdain.

At this time, Li Yuan's image in the team was...

It instantly became mysterious and imposing.

"Okay, we need to be careful once we go in."

Ah Jin whispered instructions to everyone before going inside first.

Captain Lucero turned to one of his men and gave the order:

"Stay at the door and keep in touch."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan stopped in his tracks and offered his suggestion:

"Don't try to keep them here. It's best to stay together at a time like this. If you separate, they might be picked off one by one."

"But..."

Lucero was inclined to argue.

But recalling his employer's warning and the mysterious abilities Li Yuan had displayed,

He had no choice but to nod in agreement:

"Okay, let's go in together."

After saying that, he waved to his team members, and the group stepped into the lair of the "Night Demon".

As soon as they stepped into the hotel, a musty smell mixed with an indescribable stench instantly filled everyone's nostrils.

The group frowned and began searching the hotel cautiously.

However, the moment everyone stepped into the hotel was already seen by Night Demon sitting in front of the monitor.

He stopped torturing the woman on the operating table and slowly put on the hood.

A cruel smile curved his lips.

Get ready to enjoy tonight's hunting feast.

Li Yuan knew about the camera, but there was nothing he could do about it.

After entering the hotel, he could only follow closely behind Ah Jin.

Meanwhile, his eyes would occasionally scan the surroundings, searching for the location of the camera.

In the quiet and dark hotel, only the flashlights in everyone's hands provided a sliver of light.

Li Yuan's lighting equipment was still the same headlamp that had been with him for a long time.

Lucero glanced at Li Yuan with surprise and whispered his praise:

"I didn't expect exorcists to be so professional, they even carry headlamps with them."

Upon hearing Lucello's words, Li Yuan couldn't help but complain with a hint of annoyance:

"There's no other way. The jobs we get are mostly in caves or old houses, and there are very few places with adequate lighting."

As the search continued, Li Yuan sighed softly:

"This hotel is huge; we haven't even been able to search the first floor after all this time."

A Jin continued, picking up where Li Yuan left off:

"This place is larger than a typical hotel."

Just as Li Yuan was about to speak, a rattling sound of chains suddenly came from around the corner ahead!

"Splash, splash..."

By the light of the moon, the crowd could vaguely see a person's shadow struggling there.

Seeing this, Lucero wanted to send one of his teammates ahead to scout ahead, but Li Yuan stopped him.

"Ah Jin and I will walk in front. You guys watch out for what's happening behind you."

After giving the order, Li Yuan patted A Jin on the shoulder.

The two walked together toward the corner of the corridor.

The closer you get to the corner of the corridor, the more unpleasant the smell becomes.

The stench of blood mixed with a foul odor filled the air.

Meanwhile, various discarded syringes and needles were scattered on the ground.

It's like a neighborhood where drug addicts congregate.

As the two slowly walked around the corner, they were both stunned by the scene before them.

The space behind the corner was filled with iron cages of all sizes.

Inside lay several men and women, their fates unknown.

They were wearing dirty hospital gowns.

He was also wearing an ugly leather mask on his face.

Li Yuan and A Jin exchanged a glance and slowly moved towards the cage, wanting to see if the person inside was dead or alive.

Just then, a blonde woman wearing a mask suddenly went berserk.

It let out a hoarse roar and pounced on the two of them.

Li Yuan reacted quickly, raising the muzzle of his gun and decisively pulling the trigger!

"Bang--!"

Loud gunshots echoed through the empty hotel.

The woman was shot through the head by Li Yuan and fell heavily to the ground.

The mercenaries who followed after hearing the noise...

They all held their guns and cautiously looked around.

Lucero asked nervously:

"Mr. Li, what happened?"

Li Yuan lowered the muzzle of his gun and said in a deep voice:

"We were just attacked."

I realized I wasn't getting any kill notifications.

Li Yuan thought to himself, 'Looks like he's just an ordinary person.'

As he spoke, he slowly bent down and lifted the woman's mask.

A female mercenary stepped forward and briefly examined the body:

"His tongue was cut off."

She looked at the needle on the ground and said:

"And he was injected with a lot of psychotropic drugs."

Li Yuan nodded upon hearing this:

"I've managed to free her from her suffering."

Ah Jin, his body trembling slightly, shrank back and slowly revealed the truth:

"He arrested many people; anyone who disobeyed him had their tongue cut out and turned into a 'dog'..."

Li Yuan looked at the other people lying motionless in the cages; they had clearly all lost their lives.
