In the early morning, everything is quiet and the sun wakes everything up.
For the residents of the town, today should have been just another ordinary day like any other, with no major twists and turns.
However, a scream broke the tranquility of the small town. A "horrific" murder occurred in the central church of the town!
The priest Vitorino who was originally in charge of this place has disappeared, and instead there are debris and blood all over the ground. In front of the statue there is a huge rat with its eyes open and it died with its eyes open.
This tragic scene was discovered by a devout local woman believer. After seeing such a horrific sight, she was frightened to the point of insanity. She ran around mumbling words like "monster" and "priest".
After finding out what happened, everyone in the town suddenly felt insecure. The town police immediately reported to San Francisco. The San Francisco Police Department and the National Guard, which had just carried out a "big operation" last night, immediately dispatched troops to the town to investigate the situation.
The current situation does not allow them to be careless.
The extraordinary era has arrived. If something is not handled in time, a small matter may develop into a huge event, putting San Francisco in danger of destruction.
"Sir, we have the scene under control. No one will enter this church now!"
Seeing the head of the National Guard coming from afar, the local sheriff immediately came up to him, saluted him, and said, "The first witness who discovered the situation and other witnesses have been detained by us. I have also brought the permanent population and short-term registrants of the town."
The sheriff was familiar with the situation and understood everything clearly, and was very professional.
"Yeah, very good."
The officer nodded and said with satisfaction: "Take me in to see what the situation is like inside."
"Yes, this way please."
The sheriff immediately understood and led the officers forward.
The guards behind the officers carefully followed them into the church. The situation in the church was not dangerous, but it was a bit disgusting.
The officer looked at the rat monster that was cut in half not far away, frowned slightly, smelled the pungent odor in the air, and asked: "Why is that monster... dressed as a priest?"
“We don’t know that either.”
The sheriff shook his head and said awkwardly: "There are no surveillance cameras in this church, so no one knows what happened last night."
"According to the couple of guys that went in, they didn't tamper with the scene, and what we saw was what they saw this morning."
Hearing this, the officer seemed a little surprised. He paid attention to the situation around him and said, "This monster only has a rat head, and the rest of its body is human... Could it be that it has been hiding here, pretending to be a priest?"
After that, the officer continued, "Have there been any missing persons in your town recently?"
Hearing the officer's question, the sheriff immediately reacted and his face looked a little unhappy: "In the past ten days, three children have been missing in our town... Didn't they say a few days ago that there was a large human trafficking gang in San Francisco, so we thought..."
The officer's face darkened. "During yesterday's operation, the human trafficking organization was uprooted and all the children were rescued. Their main goal is to kidnap the children of wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials. They don't care about the children of ordinary people at all!"
The last trace of doubt was also eliminated. In this way, the three "missing" children in this town might really be related to this!
Faced with such a situation, the National Guard actually has no other choice: after all, they cannot find a way to exorcise the evil spirits and can only watch from the sidelines.
After a moment of silence, the officer could only helplessly say: "Search the area around the church for any remains of bodies, protect the scene, and wait for the arrival of several doctors from the research institute before collecting the body of the 'rat man'."
After all, there is no way to deal with the current situation. We can only wait for other situations to occur. If there are no special circumstances, then there is no other way.
The National Guard is helpless against the extraordinary monsters.
However, what the National Guard officer and the chief of the nearby police station did not expect was that what they thought was just an ordinary supernatural incident would escalate and public opinion would reach a situation that was difficult to control.
But within an afternoon, everyone in San Francisco was in danger. The name of a monster called the "Man-Eating Rat King" spread in the streets. It was said that this "Man-Eating Rat King" was extremely dangerous and could eat seven or eight children in one meal. Its favorite was the tender little girls...
That very night, news of the monster called the Man-Eating Rat King spread throughout almost all cities on the east coast of the United States. Children were at a loss as to what to do, and many elementary schools even announced the suspension of classes.
In this regard, the state governments are helpless and can only refute the rumors over and over again.
But unfortunately, the wise American people will not believe the lies of the state government. They only believe what they hear and see.
There is no way. Since the advent of the Internet, although communication has become more convenient, there is nothing we can do about public opinion and rumors.
But there is something behind this rumor.
There must be a mastermind behind this rumor, otherwise the extraordinary events in a small town would never have become as popular as they are now on the west coast of the United States, and even begun to affect the east coast.
