AdvertisementThis blood ministration he'd had not only healed him, it had given him superhuman strength and a miraculous ability to heal and come back to life . He was still unable to grasp the extent of his ability . He decided to continue on his way and watch out for that mob he had just witnessed from above . He went up the street and observed the deserted houses and what used to be Inns and shops left and right . Then he saw them . Crucifixes were fixed on the ground on each side of the serpentine street . These crucifixes were on fire and seemed to hold something that had been long dead . On closer inspection, Surgit observed with horror all the corpses of what looked like men-beasts . These people had bandages on their eyes wore only undergarments to hide their private parts . They were fully transformed into beasts at that point . Only their humanoid body remained . Fur had covered their skin and their open mouths showed canine teeth . They were bound to the crucifixes by nails and chains .
He could see a light emanating from a window on his left, and a lantern similar to the one he'd seen on Gilbert's window hanging at the entrance door of the house . He approached the door and knocked . A man's voice could be heard on the other side: "Who would open his door to an outsider like you? Be gone from here . " This was definitely a Yharnamite . All tales about them being unfriendly was true . Surgit had gotten used to people treating him in that fashion . Though irritated, he decided to carry on . The thought of the patrol still haunted his mind . And all the corpses on fire made him feel uneasy and hunted . He needed to get out of this street and fast .
He reached what seemed to be the end of the street . He could see more carriages parked on each end of it . The street turned left and Surgit, following the road found himself facing a harrowing image . He was standing in what appeared to be the town square . Stagecoaches were parked on the side of the road and in the middle of the square stood an enormous crucifix . A huge werewolf was tied to the crucifix and was being burned . It looked like a witch execution but with werewolves instead of women . Around the crucifix stood around twenty men, all of them were armed . None of them had noticed Surgit . They were all looking at the beast burning . Surgit could see that beyond the crucifix there was a closed door . Something terrible was banging at it . On top of the door, a long bridge seemed to take carts and cars to the other side of the city . "That's where I need to go" he whispered to himself . He started walking slowly backwards and thinking of a way out of the place . He could see two railings surrounding the square . Both of them took to the other side of the big barricaded door . "Click!" with the corner of his eye, Surgit saw a man behind him pointing a gun at his head .
