Chapter 1234: Struggle And Resistance

“Do you think you can stop what is destined to happen with just an old seal? or those Inuit Brats?”The person on crutches mocked.

“We have to do something. Otherwise, we will be the first to suffer,”the Doctor said. “If you don’t want to become one of those crazy and irrational fanatics, you should stand on my side.”

“What are you going to do?”The man with the cane raised his eyebrows.

“I. . . Haven’t thought about it yet. But since it cares so much about the old seal and has been sending people to look for it, and those followers are afraid of it, I think the old seal might be the key to deal with it.”

“So you are just guessing blindly? I really shouldn’t have any expectations for you,”the man with the cane said as he loaded the shotgun. The doctor’s hair stood on end.

He knew that the man was not joking, so he hurriedly said, “You can’t kill me. After you kill me, no one will treat you anymore.”

“I don’t care,”the man with the cane said calmly, “You’re right. When that guy comes out, it’s hard for all of us to escape death, so there’s no future. Doctor, after so many years, I’m tired of struggling. Maybe it’s time to embrace all of this. But you should thank me. At least I saved you from falling into the final madness. In this regard, you’re luckier than me.”

With that, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The shocked expression on the doctor’s face froze. He did not seem to have expected the plot to develop like this. When he made up his mind to take out the old seal, he felt like the Savior in novels and movies, because most people did not realize what had happened at all.

He was the only one who had foreseen the coming of the end of the world and had the ability to do something about it. But now, a big hole had been blasted between his eyebrows by a shotgun, and his heart had stopped beating forever, thus, his legendary story was hastily concluded before it had even begun.

As Dr. Baker’s body fell backward, the old seal that had been tightly clutched in his hand also rolled out. The man with a cane used his lame foot to step on the b.l.o.o.d.y old seal.

Then he bent down to pick up the old mark. It was obvious that he had a complicated expression on his face, as if he was struggling in his heart. Several times, he wanted to put the old mark into his pocket, but in the end, he still closed his eyes, he threw it into the garbage bin at the side. When he was done, he looked relieved, and even the wrinkles on his face faded a little.

At this moment, the landline at the information desk rang.

The phone rang in the empty museum. The man with a cane walked past his old friend’s body and walked to the phone, “h.e.l.lo… Yes, I’m done here. I can lure the two kids here. The old guys are not here, so I can take this opportunity to solve this problem. Your people should be in place as soon as possible. Finish it as soon as possible and help me arrange my initiation ceremony. Anyway, you don’t have to hide anymore, so you don’t need me to cover for you. And I can completely blend in with you and welcome the day when the stars return to the Lord.”

The man on crutches put down the phone and took a deep breath. Just like what he had told Dr. Baker, he had been resisting the urge to lose his mind, those people who became fanatics were usually unkempt, with sick smiles on their faces. They would be immersed in the illusions and dreams forever, and they would regularly hold strange rituals, at the same time, they would often be accompanied by b.l.o.o.d.y and mysterious sacrifices.

People with crutches were, after all, humans who had lived in civilized society for so long. It was hard for them to accept such things from the bottom of their hearts. However, ever since he had partic.i.p.ated in that scientific expedition, his spirit began to have all kinds of problems. Over the years, he had no choice but to do everything he could to avoid falling into the abyss of madness.

In addition to regular treatment with a doctor, he also tried yoga in India, chanted Buddhist scriptures, and even practiced the mysterious Oriental Taoist qigong, but it had little effect, and compared to the doctors, he had to command the fanatics and provide cover for them, so it was difficult to avoid contact with those people, even when the early days of the gathering ceremony, he stayed in his office on the second floor, but as time pa.s.sed, he was still sinking deeper and deeper into it.

In fact, long before the earthquake, the people on crutches had already felt that their spirits were about to collapse, and the nightmares at night were increasing. Rather than saying that this incident was the last straw that crushed the camel, it was more like an opportunity to be freed.

Especially during this period of time, through his in-depth contact with the fanatics, his views had also begun to change gradually.

Indeed, in the eyes of outsiders, this was a group of people who were mentally abnormal and full of disgusting nonsense. However, their hearts were filled with joy and peace, as if they were some kind of conversion, and these two things.., were exactly what the people with crutches had always dreamed of.

He was tired of fighting and struggling. All these years of isolation like an ascetic had only brought him endless despair. In that case, he might as well accept and enjoy this madness.

The people with crutches took one last look at Dr. Baker’s body on the ground. Without looking back, they returned to their office on the second floor. They opened the wine cabinet and picked out the most expensive bottle of whiskey.

While he was drinking farewell wine for his old friend, a group of pale-faced, crazy people followed an Inuit youth into the museum and quietly cleaned up the body on the ground. However, time was short, they could not clean it up too cleanly, and there were still some faint traces of blood left there.

The Inuit youth seemed to be a little dissatisfied as he spoke, “Can’t you get that guy upstairs to kill someone later? Although Olai’s brain isn’t that good, he’s not blind, not to mention that he has Alicia by his side. They will definitely notice the traces of blood on the floor.”

However, the fanatics who came with him did not seem to hear his words, and none of them were moved.

“Forget it, let’s not put on a show. Let’s do it as soon as they come in. Anyway, there are too many of you. When the time comes, they will swarm over. There are only two of them, and they are not your match. Remember to be careful of that man. He is very strong, and that woman can communicate with animals. However, it won’t be too much of a problem after closing the doors and windows. “The Inuit youth reminded them again, “Remember, no survivors.”.
