That was because the scene inside the stone chamber was something that even an experienced and knowledgeable powerful figure from the upper world like Gailo found hard to accept.
The stone room was surrounded by a long circle of stone tables. Half of the tables were filled with all kinds of strangely-shaped instruments, including knives, forks, hooks, and other things. Many of them were covered with an unsullied layer of red blood.
On the stone tables on the left, there were all kinds of jar-shaped instruments that could be found in laboratories.
As for the ones on the right, there were all kinds of yuan stones, vital spirit liquid, talismans, and other things. Judging from the fluctuation of the spiritual energy around them, they were definitely not any ordinary objects.
On the table across from them, there were oddly-shaped, half-finished magic tools, including a crudely made banner, a crooked small bowl, an uneven cane, and so on.
Every single one of the items gave off a strong smell of blood.
In the middle of the stone room, there was a huge square table, on which there was blood, flesh, and bones littered all over.
As for the source of these things, the empty little iron cage on the square table silently indicated everything.
Obviously, the children who had been locked up in the cages from earlier must have been used here.
It was also the reason why the kind-hearted Gailo suddenly lost his composure and became furious when he saw the scene before him.
Along the way, everything he had seen and heard already gave him an idea of what to expect about the dark things happening below Twin River Church.
Even so, he still did not expect that these barbaric people would be so cruel to innocent children.
It made it impossible for Gailo to suppress the anger in his heart. His eyes were full of murderous intent, and he wished he could kill everything around him.
At that moment, however, in the face of Gailo and Fade's murderous rage...
An old man stood in front of the square table in the middle of the stone room. He was thin as a stick, with sunken eyes and a bent back. He ignored them as if he had not noticed them at all.
He used his claw-like hands to hold all kinds of instruments and dealt with the materials on the square table, cutting or sewing them. He also added something from time to time and murmured to himself.
"This is the 230th experiment. We can't fail this time. Otherwise, Master will be angry."
"However, the materials we have this time are very good. They are twins, which meets the requirements perfectly. I think we'll definitely succeed."
"If I succeed this time, Master will definitely reward me well. When the time comes, I will be able to go to Holy Spirit City and get baptized by the Pope."
"For the baptism, for the Great Ling God, I must succeed. I have to!"
......
"You-" Gailo's face was full of rage. He grabbed the old man's collar and lifted him up.
The old man struggled a few times, and when he saw Gailo and Fade, he asked, "Who are you? Did Master send you here? Go back and tell Master that I will succeed soon. Ask him to give me a bit more time, just a little more!"
These words made Gailo even angrier. "What have you done to those children? You..."
"Children?" The old man looked puzzled. "Are you talking about those test subjects? They were allocated to me by Master! Is there a problem?"
"Test subjects?! Y-You-" Gailo was so angry that he wanted to crush the old man.
Despite that, the old man still kept repeating what he had just said.
"I'm going to succeed! This time, the results are right in front of my eyes. I will definitely succeed. Definitely!"
"I'll kill you!" Gailo's eyes were bloodshot.
Fade said coldly, "There's something wrong with this old man's brain. His divine soul has been tampered with. He's no longer a normal person. We won't be able to get anything out of him."
"Young master, this man..." worked gritted his teeth.
At that moment, a figure walked in. It was Nicklon. "I've brought them back, young master!"
While speaking, Nickel threw several strong men to the ground.
Then, he saw the scene inside the room and frowned. "What's this place?"
Gailo gnashed his teeth and said, "These guys are crazy and inhuman. They performed experiments on children. They..."
Hearing this, Nicklon frowned and icily stated, "Why are you keeping scum like him alive, then? Just kill him. Or have you gotten soft-hearted again, Carolus?"
"I'm not-" Mr. Chen said.
But before he could finish his words, Fade grabbed up a woman from the stone room that he had just passed by. It was the thin woman who had just gotten beaten up by several strong men outside the church.
"Tell me. What were you guys doing just now?" Fade asked the strong men.
The strong men looked at the thin woman and then glanced at Fade. They seemed to be hesitating.
"This is my boss. If you don't want to die, then speak up and answer all of his questions," Nicklon thundered.
Nicklon's words scared the strong men so much that they shivered and nodded repeatedly.
One of the strong men looked at Fade and said, "My lord, this woman is my wife, b-but she's an absolute good-for-nothing. She actually gave our children to these guys in the church."
"The people in this church are not good people. I wanted to get her to bring the children back. She refused, so I brought my men here..."
After one of the men finished speaking, Fade looked at the thin woman and asked, "Is that true?"
"I-I..." The woman stuttered and her eyes glistened. "He... He hit me and the children. That's why I took them away."
"I-I was starving on my own on the streets. It was the Bishops of the church who pitied me, gave me food and drink, and bought a lot of good things for the kids."
"As if they're any better! Those church people don't have good intentions. In the past few years, many of the nearby children have disappeared here, so it definitely has something to do with the church. You even brought the children here, so that means you harmed them," the strong man hurriedly said.
Upon hearing this, the thin woman shook her head repeatedly. "N-No. You're wrong. The Bishops said that the children are full of spiritual energy and that they're a gift to God."
"The children will enter heaven with God. They will live happily there and will never suffer again," the woman murmured.
When she said that, her eyes were full of loyalty and even a little enthusiasm. As she spoke, she knelt on the ground and made various gestures of prayer with her hands.
"Praise the lord, praise the lord!"
Seeing that, the strong man furiously yelled, "You crazy woman. Are you stupid? Those scammers are not good people at all. Giving them the children won't do them any good. Hurry up and give the children back to me!"
As he spoke, the strong man suddenly jumped up and beat the woman viciously.
The woman fell to the ground, but she continued muttering.
"Praise the lord!"
......
Nicklon took the strong man away and questioned the others.
After getting different sides of the story, the truth of the matter was also roughly pieced together.
