After the call with the Professor, Lynn Hall looked at the detailed information of the town residents and fell into thought.
It could now be confirmed that what was happening in this town was a supernatural event, and that symbol represented an evil sacrificial ritual.
Sacrificing one's own or more souls to the devil in exchange for powerful strength.
As for who the sacrifice was offered to, and what would happen to those who lost their souls after being sacrificed, the Professor was also unclear.
The reason he knew about this symbol was from a legend he heard during his travels in Eastern Europe when he was young.
Leaning back in his chair, Lynn Hall pinched the bridge of his nose, his mind recalling the strange stone man in the town during the day.
Could that stone man be the one who orchestrated the sacrificial ritual, sacrificing the souls of over 1,300 people to the devil to gain supernatural power?
If that were truly the case, then why was the town always shrouded in thick fog?
Why were the soulless town residents always trapped within the town, unable to leave, and why did the thick fog turn into a barrier every night?
It couldn't be that the demons from Hell were worried about those "walking dead" harming other civilians, could it?
It was impossible to think that way, after all, even he, a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent, didn't care about the lives of these U.S. citizens.
Let alone the so-called demons from Hell!
However, wasn't Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi's duty to protect the safety of the reality dimension?
Lynn didn't believe that a major event involving over 1,300 human lives could be hidden from Ancient One.
But even now, Ancient One and the secret art sorcerers had not appeared.
Thinking of this, Lynn looked at the thick fog, which had once again solidified into a barrier after dark, and frowned.
"Boss, have some coffee."
Alice walked over with the coffee, handing the brewed coffee to Lynn: "I've already finished writing the investigation report for this incident."
"As per your request, all the blame has been shifted to the Polar Bear, stating that they secretly created a terrifying biochemical virus in this town."
At this, Alice laughed: "Boss, as long as the Polar Bear exists, it makes it much easier for us to handle investigation results that are difficult to explain publicly."
"So now I actually hope the Polar Bear becomes more and more stable!"
Hearing Alice say this, Lynn also chuckled: "It's best not to let anyone from the Department of Justice hear that, otherwise, if they slap a spy hat on you, I won't be able to help you."
"I'm not stupid, am I?"
At this, Alice leaned close to Lynn and whispered: "I heard from the training department that after a few days of training, Barbara, although not familiar with the Bureau's operations."
"But she should be able to help you with some documents, so Boss, are you really going to go for her or not?"
Looking at Alice's gossipy eyes, Lynn Hall pushed her head, telling her to get lost.
"Tsk, boring, isn't it just that thing? I can tell from the way she looks at you..."
Drinking coffee from his cup, Lynn heard Alice's words trail off mid-sentence.
Lynn looked up and suddenly noticed that the surrounding space-time seemed to be frozen.
Alice stood motionless with her mouth open, and the nearby bonfire, which had been flickering in the wind, also instantly stilled.
Even the flying insects were frozen in mid-air.
The sudden change made Lynn Hall instantly vigilant, and his gun was just drawn.
He saw a man holding a staff, whose age he couldn't discern, looking at him with a smile.
The reason he couldn't tell how old he was, was because Lynn felt that if you said he was twenty, people would believe it, and if you said he was eighty, people would also believe it.
The moment he saw this You-Know-Who, Lynn Hall aimed his gun at him.
But before he could pull the trigger, the pistol suddenly turned into colorful bubbles and flew into the night sky.
"Don't be impulsive, I have no ill intentions!"
Looking at Lynn's wary eyes, the man walked towards him with a smile: "To me, this is just a very interesting challenge."
"Originally, I didn't intend for anyone to disturb this challenge, but after seeing you, I changed my mind."
Looking at the man who was walking towards him step by step, yet the surrounding space-time was rapidly contracting under his feet.
Lynn Hall dared not be careless in the slightest.
"Compared to the challenger, your soul is the strangest and most interesting I have ever seen!"
【Mephisto's Favorability: 1】
Looking at the sudden system prompt, Lynn Hall's pupils contracted slightly.
This You-Know-Who in front of him was actually the Lord of Hell, Mephisto?
Before Lynn Hall could speak, a ball of green magic appeared around them.
As the green magic formed a circular portal, a man in a green cloak with an iron mask on his head walked out!
"Mephisto!"
"It's been three years again, Doom, I wonder how your strength is now, I'm really looking forward to this challenge!"
Listening to Mephisto's tone, Victor Von Doom's eyes flashed with anger.
He naturally understood that his triennial challenge, in Mephisto's eyes, was like an animal show in a circus for entertainment.
This was undoubtedly a great humiliation for Victor Von Doom!
Yet, despite this, Victor Von Doom had never thought of giving up.
Because, this was the only way to rescue his mother's soul from Hell!
"Don't rush the challenge, I've found something even more interesting!"
Looking at Victor Von Doom, whose eyes seemed to be spitting Fire, Mephisto smiled as he looked at Lynn Hall.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Mephisto, the legendary Lord of Hell."
"Lynn Hall, your soul is the strangest of all the humans I have ever seen, so would you like to make a deal with me?"
His gaze fixed on Lynn, his eyes filled with temptation: "As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, then you can have everything you desire."
"Such as powerful strength, endless wealth, revered status, the most beautiful women in the World..."
"Of course, in return, all you have to do is give your soul to me after you die. How about it? Is it not worth it to trade what happens after death for an unparalleled life before death?"
Hearing Mephisto's alluring voice, Lynn Hall suddenly said: "Like that flaming skeleton in California?"
"You actually know Johnny?"
Looking at Lynn, Mephisto's interest grew even stronger.
"You can also possess power as strong as his, how about it, are you willing to make this deal with me?"
As his voice fell, an ancient scroll appeared in Mephisto's hand: "Come on, child, as long as you sign your name, everything you desire will be within your grasp!"
