I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 57 The Sacrifice of the Evil God

As soon as he entered the cold storage, a mangled corpse lying in a pool of blood caught Erin's eye.

The chandelier on the ceiling of the cold storage swayed back and forth, its light flickering on and off.

This added an extra layer of gloom to the already dimly lit cold storage room.

Erin frowned slightly, carefully avoiding the corpse with a spider tattoo on its arm and the sticky bloodstains on the ground, then went around the narrow entrance of the side door and into the cold storage.

After scanning the area from the entrance, Erin took in the entire scene inside the cold storage.

Apart from the tall stacks of frozen food at the front of the cold storage, which were deliberately used to conceal the true nature of the place, the back half of the cold storage had long been emptied and transformed into a completely different place.

In the huge cold storage, a pit with a diameter of about six meters was dug out.

In the center of the pit, there is a cement platform carved with various bizarre patterns.

In the center of the stone platform, a dozen steel chains crisscrossed, binding two figures, their lower bodies mangled and bloodied, tightly to the dark red surface of the platform...

Meanwhile, the doctors that Erin had seen rush into the cold storage were now lying next to the stone platform, performing emergency resuscitation on the two figures.

Erin's gaze followed the stone platform, then swept across the surroundings, and a chill ran down his spine.

Even my arms were covered in goosebumps.

Around the stone platform were four steel cages, and around the cages were piles of various spider corpses and some tattered clothes. Among the tattered clothes, one could vaguely see some black and shriveled humanoid objects, as if they had been drained of their last bit of life.

·······

"That's creepy, isn't it!"

Detective Vinnie, who brought Erin in, patted the dazed Erin on the shoulder and continued, "We were initially speculating that the human-faced spider monster was a product of human experimentation conducted by that large laboratory in violation of federal bans."

"But who would have thought that monster would come from such a rudimentary laboratory?"

Looking at the human bones faintly visible at the bottom of the giant pit, Inspector Winnie muttered, "This is fucking insane..."

Judging from the sheer number of skeletons piled up next to the iron cage and the stone platform stained red with blood, Winnie could imagine just how many people had died here.

Although this wasn't his jurisdiction, Winnie could already foresee how the front pages of the New York newspapers would be filled with accusations of incompetence against them, the New York police officers.

"This isn't some kind of madness..."

Erin turned his head and looked at the strange patterns stained black with dark red blood on the edge of the stone platform, as well as the four iron cages placed around the platform. He said in a cold voice, "This is a ritual, a sacrificial ritual to please an evil god."

With ritual as the thread, blood as the guide, and life as the sacrifice...

Aren't these seemingly plausible but actually misleading things just rituals to please evil gods?

Although Erin did not know that the ritual was directed at a certain evil god, there was no doubt that "He" existed.

Because Erin clearly sensed that there was a chilling aura lingering in the cold storage.

Although the aura was very faint, it struck directly at the soul, causing Erin's soul to tremble.

"What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Winnie glanced at Erin and frowned, saying, "A ritual to please an evil god? You mean these cultists?"

Hearing what Erin said, Winnie looked at the dark, gloomy cold storage filled with all kinds of spider corpses and skeletons, and felt that it made some sense.

Only cult lunatics could do something so heinous in downtown New York!

·······

At this time.

The doctors on the operating table sighed and simultaneously stopped the resuscitation efforts.

"What's wrong?" Winnie asked as soon as he saw this.

One of the older male doctors shook his head and said, "The wound is severely infected, coupled with excessive blood loss and organ failure... We did our best..."

After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at the blood-red stone platform, where a pitiful girl had a human upper body but her lower body had been forcibly pierced with some huge spider legs.

"These beasts..."

After thinking for a moment, he took off his white coat and draped it over the two naked female corpses on the stone platform, as a final act of decency for them.

Following behind Winnie, Erin glanced at the two lifeless women on the stone platform and silently thought to himself.

This rudimentary transformation ritual could only succeed if it gained the attention of those evil gods!

Seeing the altar and the two girls on it who died with their eyes wide open, Erin finally understood where the human-faced spider she had encountered before came from.

"This is troublesome!"

Erin had originally planned to check if there were any of Abbott's personal belongings in the cold storage, and then use his divination skills to find him again.

But now that he saw that the other party had successfully performed the ritual and gained the favor of the evil god, Erin dared not perform divination anymore.

Who knows if that guy is still under the watchful eye of the evil god? If I were to divine that guy now, what if I accidentally divined the evil god who is watching Abbott?

That would be a really big joke.

In a more serious scenario, it's not impossible that Erin could be killed on the spot by the backlash.

and many more.

If little Abbott really gains the favor of the evil god, wouldn't Gwen be in danger?

Could the police officers George sent really protect Gwen?

Thinking of this, Erin said to Inspector Winnie, "Inspector Winnie, if that guy is a cultist, Gwen might be in danger."

Winnie's expression changed upon hearing this; Erin was right.

Cult members are a group of madmen who are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people; no one knows what crazy things they might do.

Just as Winnie took out his phone, intending to remind Rhine and the others to be on high alert.

A chilling unease suddenly surged through Erin's heart.

Danger······

Danger······

Danger······

An intense, almost suffocating sense of crisis instantly overwhelmed Erin, making it hard for him to breathe.

What was originally just a somewhat oppressive cold storage room for Erin suddenly seemed to transform into a ravenous beast, ready to devour them whole.

The diviner's extraordinary spirituality, almost instinctively, drove Erin to flee this place that had suddenly become dangerous.

"Danger! Run! Run! Get out of here!"
