Such a strange sight made Reed instinctively turn his head towards the place where sunlight was pouring in.
There happened to be a small window with a Christian image. The dazzling sunlight poured onto the stained glass, instantly turning into colorful and magnificent brilliance, shining on the dark church and adding a brand-new touch of color to it.
The emotionless priest stood outside the light, his eyes fixed on Reed standing right in the middle of the light.
During this time, he remained silent and no longer approached Reed as he had before.
“Well… uh, since you’re alright, then I’ll go back now.”
But the cold gaze still made Reed feel uncomfortable. He simply waved goodbye and then quickly walked towards the side door.
The priest still did not choose to stop him. Instead, he reached out and gently touched his earring, muttering to himself.
“This Limin has a disgusting aura.”
As these words fell, the priest slowly retreated, his figure gradually disappearing into the depths of the dark church.
On the other side, Reed turned back to take another look before leaving. Finding that the priest was no longer there, he didn’t think much about it and directly closed the door, jumped out of the window, and left the church.
As he left, the screen froze on the church’s pulpit.
There, hidden right beneath the cross, was a completely withered corpse, with only a faint trace of bloody air left, indicating that the corpse had just been killed recently.
“Unexpectedly, the real priest died under the cross of the Christian church.”
In the classroom, Jessica looked at the final image frozen on the screen and couldn't help but exclaim.
“Compared to that, I’m more concerned about another issue.” Unlike Jessica, Gwen Stacy, standing beside her, stared at the depths of the church where the priest’s figure slowly disappeared. Her expression gradually became serious.
“What problem?” Hearing her friend’s words, Jessica raised an eyebrow, curiously asking.
“Jessica, haven’t you noticed?”
To Jessica’s question, Gwen instinctively asked back, then explained, “From the clips played on the screen, this priest is undoubtedly the Unconfirmed Lifeform No. 3. But look at him now. What’s the difference between him and the Unconfirmed Lifeform No. 1, the Spider Monster, that appeared before?”
“Difference?”
Hearing this, Jessica began to think. Soon, she widened her eyes and exclaimed, “That’s right, that priest seems to be human. This is completely different from the Spider Monster that appeared before.”
“That’s right.” Gwen nodded, then continued, “The previous Unconfirmed Lifeform No. 1 and the mysterious black shadow that appeared in the super-ancient ruins all appeared in the form of monsters. However, when the Unconfirmed Lifeform No. 3 appeared, it was in the form of a human.”
“This means that these monsters may all have the ability to freely transform between human and monster forms.”
Hearing this, a look of seriousness appeared on Jessica’s face.
Obviously, even someone who is always grinning like Jessica has begun to realize the severity of the situation.
After all, these monsters are already hard to deal with. Now that it has been confirmed that they can freely transform into humans, this indirectly means that they can easily hide among people.
If this is really the case, it will undoubtedly add difficulty to Reed and the police’s subsequent actions to deal with the monsters.
Thinking about this, Jessica couldn’t help but look at the screen again with a worried look, muttering to herself.
“Hopefully, Reed on the screen can safely solve all the monsters.”
…
“…That’s how it is. I’m really done with that guy Reed. He slept all night and then went out for another two hours, making me wait anxiously in the tea restaurant.”
In the tea restaurant, Gwen sat on the sofa with her phone in hand, complaining about Reed’s unreliability to her colleague.
While talking, she caught sight of Reed returning to the tea restaurant with her peripheral vision, so she continued talking on the phone while waving her hand gently to pat him.
But at this moment, the colleague on the other end of the phone suddenly mentioned something important.
This made Gwen unable to continue messing around. She hurriedly pointed at her phone, signaling Reed to hold it for her first. Then, she took out her notebook from her bag, recorded it while asking,
“Eh? Like that…?”
“Then where is the funeral location?”
“Yeah, it’s at Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn, right?”
“Okay, I understand. Thank you for letting me know this. Mako.”
After a series of conversations, Gwen hung up the phone and then said to Reed beside her,
“I just received a call from my colleague. I may need to go to Greenwood Cemetery again tomorrow to attend Professor Jimmy’s funeral. So, let’s find a place to stay nearby and make do for one night.”
“Is that so?” Reed squinted his eyes, thoughtfully saying, “Coincidentally, I have something I’m quite concerned about. I’m planning to go to the police headquarters again tonight.”
“Eh? Going to the police headquarters again?!”
“Yeah, I just went to Greenwich Village. Something very bad happened there…”
As Gwen and Reed’s voices sounded, their figures slowly disappeared from the tea restaurant.
…
The screen switched.
It was already late at night.
Johnny Stone, who was on duty at the police headquarters, heard a notification coming from the walkie-talkie.
“Notify all state police stations. Unconfirmed Lifeform No. 3 has appeared. Please proceed immediately!”
“Repeat, notify all state police stations. Unconfirmed Lifeform No. 3 has appeared. Please proceed immediately!!”
As these announcements fell, Johnny Stone, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly started his police car and rushed towards the location mentioned in the walkie-talkie.
However, he was completely unaware that Reed was driving a white motorcycle closely behind him.
