The plane roared in from afar, streaked across the sky, and slowly descended in the blue sky and white clouds, stopping precisely on the runway. As the plane landed, the figure in a black robe leaning on the seat seemed a little lonely.
He was completely wrapped in a large black cloak. Opposite him sat two men wearing clothes embroidered with the stars and the moon. From the angle at which the black cloak flashed, one could vaguely see the white bones.
"We're in Boston, Deacon Michel."
The older of the two men sitting opposite the cloaked man suddenly spoke up, then turned his gaze to the cloaked man. "Come with us, Mr. Benjamin, and don't keep the Governor of Massachusetts and the legislators waiting."
"Yes, Bishop Smith."
Benjamin nodded reluctantly and spoke in a hoarse voice.
There was no way, his vocal cords had begun to rot before, so Benjamin spoke with great difficulty and in an unpleasant voice.
Michelle and Smith are two people with extraordinary abilities from the Church of Eternal Night. Smith is a second-level extraordinary person, while Michelle is a newly promoted first-level extraordinary person.
After Benjamin was discovered, they were the people from the Church of Eternal Night who escorted Benjamin. After all, Benjamin was of great importance and needed to be guarded by extraordinary people.
Moreover, in a sense, Benjamin, who came back from the dead, is also one of the extraordinary people.
Compared to Michelle and Smith who looked calm, Benjamin looked depressed and his heart was in a mess.
He lied.
When faced with questioning by New York State authorities, the resurrected Benjamin lied.
Because Benjamin had become a skeleton and dead, there was no temperature in his body and his heart naturally had no movement, so polygraphs and other instruments had no effect on him.
Half of Benjamin's face was a skeleton, and the other half had rotted away. His facial expression was indifferent to fame or disgrace. In this situation, no one could tell the subtle changes in his face.
Because of the damage to his vocal cords, there was no audible difference in his voice unless it was very obvious, and the authorities could not judge the truth of the matter based on this.
At the same time, Benjamin was not lying entirely. His half-truths made it difficult for New York officials to judge the authenticity, which was why Benjamin was able to get away with it.
In his memory, he did go to a mysterious space, and the monster called "Ghoul" in that space was real, but he lied about how he slipped out in the end.
Benjamin knew his own situation. He didn't have much ability either in life or after death. He was the kind of person who was "good at nothing but eating first". He himself didn't believe that he could escape from the space full of monsters.
In fact, he knew very well how he got out.
He told a zombie leader a series of information about the location of the United States, how many cities it has, the most famous city, etc., and the zombie leader also sacrificed the information to the existence they serve, the supreme Lord.
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing Benjamin trembling, Smith comforted him, "Don't be nervous. The Massachusetts officials won't make things difficult for you. We're here."
"No...it's okay."
Benjamin followed it tremblingly, the suffocating name flashing through his mind: the gloomy and cold god of bones, the king of ghouls, the great...
Thinking of "His" name, Benjamin couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his head. His head had clearly turned into a skull, so how could he still feel pain?!
He immediately emptied his mind and forgot the name of that great being, which allowed the pain to slowly disappear and turn into nothingness.
Michelle and Smith had of course noticed Benjamin's abnormality and couldn't help but ask carefully, "Are you okay? What on earth is going on in Massachusetts that could cause such a change in you?"
"It's okay..."
Benjamin took a deep breath, shook his head hard, and forced out a smile that seemed extremely terrifying to Michelle and Smith.
What exists in Massachusetts?
Benjamin didn't know, he had never known what was happening in Massachusetts in the first place.
What he called "he knew" was actually just an excuse for Benjamin to escape from New York.
Because when Benjamin made a deal with the zombie leader, he naturally focused on the city where he lived, New York.
He believed that it would not be long before the terrifying "Gloomy God of Chilled Bones" would descend on New York and bring a devastating blow to the city, just as New York officials said, like the "Eye of Destruction."
He didn't know how terrifying the Eyes of Destruction were, but he knew very well how terrifying the Gloomy God of Cold Bones was!
He has died once, he doesn't want to die again!
This is also the reason why he came to Boston. He believed that no matter how scary Boston was, it would not be as scary as New York.
While he was stunned, Michelle and Smith had already shaken hands with a group of Massachusetts officials and had a cordial and friendly conversation: "God of the Night, I am Doyle-Smith, this is Deacon Michelle, the night watchman, and that is Mr. Benjamin."
"Hello, I'm the Governor of Massachusetts, Ange."
The governor also hurried over and shook hands with the former Columbia University professor. "God bless you, we have been waiting for you here for a long time, and you are finally here."
Smith feigned surprise and asked, "Mr. Governor also knows about our Church of Eternal Night?"
"Of course, a great being like the Lord of Eternal Night is worthy of the faith of every one of us." The governor affirmed.
After some business exchanging compliments, the military general, with his large mustache, said directly, "Mr. Benjamin, what do you think of the strange things that have happened in Boston?"
Benjamin spoke hoarsely, "I think... these things are inseparable from the existence of the followers of the gloomy and cold god, the ghouls..."
"Ghoul?"
The general pondered over this, but Smith was a little unhappy: "Are you talking about those short, zombie-like monsters?"
Benjamin wrapped his cloak around himself. "No... This is just the ghoul in our game. The ghoul I'm talking about... is the monster I introduced before. You should know it. It has a dog's head and a human body, is covered in fungi, likes to eat human flesh, and has a certain degree of intelligence..."
Before the bearded general could ask, Smith beside him asked, "Why not rename it so that it is easier to distinguish it from the ghouls we know."
Smith has certain zombie abilities, and he doesn't want to be thought of as a monster with a dog's head and a human body.
"Because that's what they call themselves..."
Although the sentence sounded somewhat helpless, Benjamin's hoarse voice was emotionless: "This is the racial name recognized by monsters, a name recognized by the two gods."
