Chapter 512: Grandfather
New York’s underground sewage system was a complicated project because it was rebuilt and modified in every period of history.
As time went on, even the most recent construction workers didn’t know how it would develop.
There were even rumors that evil things lived inside the sewers.
Of course, this funny talk was at most just spread on the internet.
No one would actually believe these things.
However, there were indeed unknown forces hidden at some intersections of the sewage system.
For example, the Evil Spirit Society. It was probably one of New York City’s oldest forces.
As the name implied, practically every member of the organization was an evil spirit.
It was hard to imagine that a group of evil spirits could form such a strong underground group.
Of course, there were also a few human members.
These were the evilest group of humans.
The Evil Spirit Society promised them that if they worked for the group, then they wouldn’t go to Hell after death. Instead, they would become an official member of the group.
And in the group, both the humans and evil spirits had a common belief: Grandfather, the founder of the organization.
No one knew Grandfather’s true identity and background.
The members of the group only knew that he was an ancient evil spirit who was at least 400 years old.
He was older than New York and even this entire country.
Not only did he exist for a long time, but Grandfather was also very strong.
At least, he’d always been a powerful existence in the various battles with the Witch Society and the Magic Society of New York.
Every time the Evil Spirit Society was at a disadvantage, Grandfather would step out and defeat the other force.
To the members of the Evil Spirit Society, Grandfather was like a god.
“Addleway? Where is my Addleway?”
A deafening sound passed through the sewage tunnel.
The roar was like thunder and spread horrifyingly and without restraint.
All the members of the Evil Spirit Society trembled in fear amidst the roar.
A white robe covered Grandfather’s body, but countless faces were roaring under his robe at the moment.
Grandfather’s body was swollen yet burly. He was more than four meters tall.
“My son died! He’s dead!” He reached out and grabbed the evil spirit closest to him, crushing it.
Killing a subordinate was far from enough to extinguish his anger.
His anger was like a volcano that had nowhere to let loose.
“Tell me, who did it? I will kill him! And everyone around him!”
Grandfather grabbed another evil spirit. This one trembled before him.
“Grandfather, I don’t know...”
“Then what use are you? Die...”
Grandfather crushed the spirit and grabbed another one. “You tell me, how did Addleway die?”
“I...”
“You don’t know either. Die!”
“You tell me!”
The evil spirit in Grandfather’s hands pushed down his fear. “Grandfather, Addleway died in Omens Hotel.”
“So, you’re saying that the person who killed Addleway is in Omens Hotel right now, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then if you kill everyone in the hotel, you won’t miss the murderer, right?” Grandfather yelled.
“Ah...Yes...Yes...”
“Grandfather, if we do that, we would...would be fully declaring war...”
Even though the Evil Spirit Society was known as the strongest force in New York, they still didn’t have absolute power.
In the end, they were a force that existed in the underground. The magic and witch communities were also very strong.
They definitely couldn’t let loose and execute a large-scale attack on regular people.
“Then just declare an all-out war. I’m done living in the dark underground. I should bathe in the moonlight.”
Grandfather had completely lost his mind.
“Call those dirty and lowly servants over. Call all of their subordinates too.”
The evil spirits all knew that the “dirty and lowly servants” that Grandfather mentioned were the human members.
Grandfather never thought highly of humans. This was evident from what he called them.
If not for the fact that some things had to be done by humans, Grandfather would probably kill them all.
Within a few hours, all of the human members and their followers were summoned to the Evil Spirit Society.
These human members were mostly leaders of gangs.
The people under them didn’t know who their head was.
They also didn’t know why they were here.
These gangs had many members. There were a dozen bosses. The smaller gangs had around ten members while the larger ones had dozens.
There were 300 people in total. But now, they were all crammed above a large mass of dirty water in the sewer.
The ground underfoot was made of wooden planks. The foul smell seeped in through the cracks.
The wood was very old and splinters would pop out when stepped on.
“Boss, why are we here?”
“Isn’t that the Razors? Why are they here too?”
“Shut up. Later, don’t panic no matter what happens.”
At the drainage hole above the water, Grandfather was looking down on the hundreds of gangsters.
“Okay, we can begin,” Grandfather said emotionlessly.
At the moment of his command, the platform made of wooden planks collapsed.
The hundreds of people fell into the dirty water in an instant.
“Ah... What’s going on?”
“Why is this happening?”
“Smells like sh*t...”
“I knew I shouldn’t have come.”
Most of the people were struggling in the water, but the walls in the ditch went straight up and down.
The entrance was seven or eight meters high. They couldn’t climb up at all.
Right then, someone noticed that the dirty water was snaking into their mouths.
Vomit—
“Pah... What’s this... Godd*mn, help!”
“Wah... What’s pulling me? Someone give me a hand...”
This wasn’t a ditch of dirty water at all. It was an evil spirit ditch.
Basically, some older evil spirits had lost consciousness and were tossed into this ditch.
As the numbers accumulated, it slowly turned into this dirty water-like state.
If living beings fell into the ditch, the mindless evil spirits would invade the bodies.
Evil spirits kept pouring into the gangsters’ mouths. One after another, the gangsters became the host bodies of these spirits.
The people who were already possessed by the evil spirits started twisting their limbs and climbing up on the wall like lizards.
