People in DC, every day administrative leave

There were still a few fishermen fishing by the river at noon. When they saw the police officers walking towards the forest with all their equipment, they didn't even move, and in an instant they focused on the water.

"Would you like to take a gamble?"

The two of them walked into the knee-high grass one after another. Barbara, who was following behind, suddenly wanted to play a bet with him.

"Don't gamble."

Officer Zhang has never won a bet, but it's hard to say if it's anything else.

Barbara smiled and suggested that whoever loses should get rid of those annoying raccoons later. This woman seemed to have decided that the raccoons were responsible.

They were hiding in the woods here, and they made noises when others were peeing, which startled them.

"You've chosen what you can guess, so why should I guess?"

He also thought it was a raccoon, but unfortunately the other party got the answer first.

"Where's the bear? Maybe it's really a bear."

"Okay, then I guess it's a bear. When you see a bear, you have to rush up and throw it over your shoulder."

"If you throw me over my shoulder, just let me lie down and wait for it to bite me."

Although she was speechless, the punishment he gave her after losing the bet was too outrageous, but Barbara didn't think she would lose. The things that moved in the woods were 100% raccoons!

Stepping on the fluffy ground filled with fallen leaves, the man walking in front looked up at the branches above.

Sometimes the policeman in the movie just doesn't look up and is attacked by a monster hiding on a tree branch. He shouldn't be a stupid cop.

Suddenly, Zhang San felt as if his foot had stepped on something, just like he had stepped on a corpse before.
Moving their eyes to their feet, half of a human thigh was exposed under the piled leaves. After sweeping away the surrounding fallen leaves with branches, the two saw a man who had been dead for a long time.

When Barbara saw his dead state, she covered her mouth and took a step back. The shirtless man's eyes were stitched shut, as was his mouth. He put his hands on his chest and had a five-pointed star carved on his stomach.

"It's Satanism."

"Report it to the police station and leave the rest to professionals."

Taking out the walkie-talkie from his waist, Officer Zhang conveyed the news to the command center and requested support.

Ten minutes later, a group of police officers cordoned off the place. They pulled up a cordon so that the fishing guy not far away finally had some reaction.

"What happened officer?"

Someone came over and asked about the situation, and looked at the police officers in the forest who were taking photos and collecting evidence, as well as the body lying on the ground.

"Please wait for the police report, sir."

The police officers who maintained order stopped the curious people outside. Inside, Zhang San and Barbara were describing how they discovered the body with their colleagues who were responsible for investigating criminal cases.

"Did you come here when you were eating in a fast food restaurant and heard someone say that there seemed to be something in the woods?"

Detective Scott, who inquired further for details, recorded this important information. This was the first time a case like today related to Satanism had appeared in the small town of Evergreen.

Officer Zhang handed Detective Scott the small book containing the middle-aged man's name and address. Before coming over, he specifically asked about the identities of the two middle-aged men in the fast food restaurant.

"Most of these people who believe in Satan have some mental problems. They are really troublesome. I will tell you the news as soon as possible."

Detective Scott's face looks very clean. He does not grow a beard like other police officers. Instead, he cleans it once a day.Although this man is almost 40 years old and has been in the police force for more than ten years, he still prioritizes stability in his work.

When he encounters clues that need to be searched for, he will find a few colleagues to go with him, instead of searching alone like in the movie.

Back at the police station, Zhang San went to find Director Daniel.

It is not normal for a case of Satanism to appear in a small town. A group of devil believers who light candles for people are hiding somewhere.

"A case related to evil spirits was solved a few days ago, and now a Satanist cult appears. When did our town become so lively?"

Rubbing his forehead, Director Daniel felt very headache about this.

The last exorcism cost the police department 10 yuan. This case is related to Satanism and there may be similar things happening in the future.

If it comes only every few days, then the police station won't have to work.

"It's just Satanism, not Satan. Director, you don't have to be afraid."

In the eyes of Officer Zhang, the difference between the two is huge. One is an ordinary person who can be killed by bullets, and the other is a devil from hell.

Unless those people can summon demons, that's different.

"When Scott finds where those people live, you and others bring the best equipment and go clear them out."

After the governor called Director Daniel last time, the treatment of the Evergreen Police Department was greatly improved. Not only was the equipment updated at the same rate as that of big cities, but they were also given two additional armored vehicles.

He didn't want these lunatics in the town or prison, so he told Officer Zhang to get rid of them.

"Director, it depends on whether others will take the initiative to attack me."

"Okay, no one who believes in Satan is sane, so be careful."

After the ace police officer left, Chief Daniel took out his cell phone and found the mayor's phone number.
A Satanist cult appeared in the town, and corpses of victims appeared in the woods by the river that was the fisherman's favorite. The news spread as quickly as the virus.

Javier's gun shop's turnover in one day was as much as a month's. Regardless of men or women, even women working on the roadside came to buy a compact pistol.

The things Satanists do are very horrific, but they are also ordinary people. Although small town residents are afraid of these madmen, they still believe that pistols can solve all problems.

If it can't be solved, the gun must be too weak, so some people choose to buy rifles and shotguns as their own safety.

In the evening, Officer Zhang, who was asked by the chief to work overtime until the matter was resolved, had no choice but to drive a police car and chat with Barbara while observing the situation on the street.

His partner didn't seem to want to talk too much about Satanism, but instead changed the topic to something more everyday.

"The seagull is squatting at home recently, doing the work of eating French fries every day."

There is also Xiaoqiang. Officer Zhang told her that this breakdancing teacher’s income is three times what they earn as a police officer!
There are many men and women learning to dance online, and Xiaoqiang already has a group of loyal students relying on his skills.

When she asked about Sophia again, Zhang San only said that this woman would chat with him at night every few days.

Most of them were complaints about how certain individuals in Wayne's company were doing, and about his uneasy sister Anna.

The girl became more rebellious, and sometimes Sofia found her watching some very bloody videos in the room. (End of chapter)
