and the situation there if they had to! The
police there refused to believe anything extraordinary could occur
there.
Merton seemed to mutter, not being able to
stay silent any longer, breaking the deep silence, but then was
silenced by definitely not wanting to put his foot in it.
“ What worries me more than
anything, ” Bryson muttered to Merton, with confusion, “ is they
don ’t seem
to have any clues! ”
“ They’ll
find something!” Merton quickly replied.
“ What kind of thing does that? It even
looks like a vampire has drained him of blood!”
“ That’s ridiculous! We should not have
started entering the castle’s desolate regions on our
own!”
“ What do you reckon could do that
then? ”
“ You ’ve a point and I don’t have enough
facts to say anything! It may be entirely new to us? They are best
treating it as a normal killing until more facts
appear.”
“ You ’re correct, ” he muttered back, glaring through a
window at the wood outside with interest, wondering how the police
would handle the truth.
“ How did his killer know that he would
be here? ” Bryson spoke louder, for the police to hear, startled by the
thought that whatever it was could be watching them, perhaps now
hidden away in the distant shadows.
“ Perhaps that killer was lurking about
and encountered the scientist on his own out here, and confronted
him ... We’ll have to stay in groups and only enter these regions
when we need to. ”
The police at the body seemed to realize the
body was drained of something more and discussed having it checked
further to discover what had happened to it.
“ Why kill him? Do you think something
has been removed from the body?”
“ I do
not know that! The body will have to be checked
thoroughly.”
One of
the policemen started using a phone to communicate information
about the situation to someone, and eventually started talking
louder to someone else who had him examine the body for him,
and the police vigorously checked the body looking for
a wound and they checked bruised areas trying to see it and finally
seemed to give up disappointed, and the person on the phone seemed
to react strangely to it and had them check the body again at other
places.
The heavy thuds of distant helicopters
arriving appeared in the distance and Bryson saw the others
starting to leave there.
Persistent moans followed from the person on
the police phone, who was trying to identify what it was, and it
gave Bryson the impression that they never had a clue either and
that the police at the body had not been entirely able to explain
what had happened to the person on the phone, and that the person
was being dragged away from another vital case to visit there.
Although he could not fully get what the
person thought, as the occurrences on this occasion were far from
normal, he was sure that they had not been able to explain the
deadliness and unusualness of the death and that they were trying
to persuade the person to investigate it.
Chapter 11
The Blood Red
Devil
The enormous blood red devil energy
field shot through the thick stone castle walls, like they were
mist, seeking to attack something with vengeance, and its speed increased and the walls
altered to glowing flickers while it raged on.
The few
people at the castle that rarely caught glimpses of its distant
lightening materializations saw only flashes of red, and if it had
been slow they would have seen red energy and devil features,
straight out of the realms of hell, and realized that they were
confronting the devil, with its giant demon shape glowing, altering,
whirling, within hideous energy surges, while it consistently
stopped itself vanishing from existence and back into its original
place and energy states.
Parts of its
composition frequently altered or vanished from view when it
totally lost control of itself and it even formed other hideous
things, and it would show its powers by forming itself into
different
