Chapter 5 The most terrifying moment

Jack McMurdo's life changed. After he was arrested and acquitted, he began to attract much attention and gained fame among that group of people. He could make a decision on the night he joined the club.

Big events lead to the defendant going to court. There is no such person even in the club. His image in people's minds has become very tall, and he is considered a good partner to drink, party and have fun with. He has an arrogant personality.

However, he never lost his affinity and could not bear the slightest humiliation. Even when facing the supreme leader, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and argued for reason. However, he left everyone with a deeper feeling that he was a powerful conspirator. No

A person with his powerful mind can plan the most sophisticated conspiracy in the shortest time, and no one can complete complex plans as neatly as him. "His hands and feet must be very fast and ruthless!" Those!

The elders of the clubs are all planning in their hearts, waiting for the opportunity to come so that McMurdo can show his talents.

McGinty valued McMurdo very much. Although he already had many people under his command, he knew that none of them were as capable as McMurdo. He always ordered his helpless subordinates to do small things because it was not the time yet.

Release the powerful character McMurdo and wait for the opportunity. This most brave and ferocious beast will definitely have better effects. This approach caused dissatisfaction among some members, including Baldwin. They secretly held grudges and jealousy.

They were dissatisfied with the newcomer's rapid rise in status. Despite this, they did not dare to show it, nor did they dare to confront McMurdo. This powerful character regarded dueling as a joke.

However, although McMurdo achieved rapid development in his own society, he lost the trust of the other side, which he considered more important. Eddie Shafter's father claimed that he would no longer associate with him.

He was not even allowed to come to visit. Although Eddie loved McMurdo deeply, she also knew very well that although she loved him, she was just an ordinary and kind-hearted civilian. If she married a thug, her future life would be very different.

Earth-shaking changes will occur, and it may even become very bad.

One night, Eddie thought a lot and stayed up all night. Until the next morning, she finally made up her mind to find McMurdo. This might be the last time she saw him. She wanted to go there anyway.

Let him change his ways and stop sinking into that damn evil environment. McMurdo had asked her to go to his home many times before. Thinking of this, she walked to his home without stopping and walked quickly to his bed.

In the living room, McMurdo was sitting in front of the table with his back to the door, with a letter in front of him. Seeing the unsuspecting McMurdo's back, the 19-year-old Eddie suddenly had a thought,

Thinking of teasing him, Eddie gently opened the door. Seeing that McMurdo didn't notice, she was even more proud, so she walked forward lightly and patted him on the shoulder.

Eddie thought he must have frightened McMurdo, but he didn't expect McMurdo to react so quickly. He suddenly jumped back, like a beast, stretched out his right hand and grabbed her throat, and at the same time, he used his left hand to kill the girl in front of him.

The letter was crumpled into a ball. Eddie was completely frightened. McMurdo's expression was very fierce and his eyebrows were cold. McMurdo calmed down in an instant. When he saw it was Eddie, he couldn't help but feel surprised and happy. His face

Her expression immediately softened. Eddie was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly. She had never encountered such a situation in her life before, and she could not calm down for a while.

"It turns out it's you!" McMurdo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stretched out his hands to Eddie as he spoke: "My dear, I'm sorry, I didn't expect it was you. It was so dangerous just now. I

I almost strangled my dearest you to death! I express my most sincere apology to you, please forgive me!"

Eddie suddenly understood. From his flustered and complicated expression, he could deduce that he had probably done something illegal, which was why he was so scared. This thought made her very frightened. Relying on her female intuition, she told herself,

McMurdo didn't act like this because he was frightened at all, but because he committed a crime. Yes, he must have done something ulterior!

"What's wrong with you, Jack?" she asked loudly, "Why are you so frightened by me? Jack, tell me, did you do anything bad? If you didn't do anything, you would definitely

You won’t look at me with that scary expression just now!”

"No, really, I was thinking about other things just now, so I didn't notice you, my dear, walking in so quietly..."

"No, that's definitely not the case, Jack!" Eddie suddenly thought of something and said loudly, "Where's the letter? Let me see the letter you just wrote."

"No, Eddie, I can't show you."

Eddie became more suspicious and yelled: "Is it written to another woman? I know! I know why you didn't read it to me, because you were writing to your wife! You said you were unmarried, but you

You're from out of town, how do I know if what you say is true? No one here really knows you!"

"I'm really not married yet, Eddie! I can swear it right now, look, I can swear it on the cross of Jesus, you're the only woman I love!"

McMurdo also became excited, with no trace of blood on his cheeks, and defended sincerely. Eddie could only believe him.

"In that case..." Eddie asked, "Why don't you let me read the letter?"

"My dear, please listen to me," said McMurdo, "I have sworn an oath that I will never show this letter to anyone else. Just as I will keep my oath to you, I will also keep my oath to others.

Keep your promise. Therefore, I must not break my oath! This is a matter in the meeting, and I have to keep it secret even from you. Although you put your hand on my shoulder just now, it was a joke, but I want to prevent everything

Possibly, what if I was a detective just now? Don’t you still understand why I acted so scared? "

Eddie felt that what he said made sense and believed him. McMurdo held her in his arms and kissed her affectionately to drive away the uneasiness and doubt in her heart.

"Now please sit next to me, my dear, this is the Queen's magical throne. I'm sorry, this is already the best gift I can give you. When I get rid of poverty in the future, I will definitely be able to give you the best gift."

Happiness. My dear, have you recovered now?"

"I'm really sorry, I'm so rude. But ever since I knew you were working in such a violent group, I have been afraid that one day I would hear that you had killed someone and been taken to court for trial. I have been tortured by this thought

I can't live in peace. Yesterday, one of our tenants talked about you and actually called you 'McMurdo, this die-hard party member'. This news is simply whipping my heart all the time!"

"But we can't control what others say, just choose to ignore it!"

"But what they said is indeed true!"

"Okay, dear, don't always imagine things to be so bad, you should relax. We are just a group of ordinary poor people, we just want to use our own way to get what we want."

Eddie hugged her sweetheart's neck and said: "Jack, I beg you not to work in this club anymore! For my sake, for God's sake, I beg you to give up! I came here today just to make you give up.

, don’t let me worry anymore. I’m willing to kneel down and beg you. I’m going to kneel down right now and beg you to give up, is that okay?”

McMurdo hugged Eddie to his chest and gently comforted her and said: "My dear, I know you don't know what your request means. To do so means that I will betray my oath and betray my companions."

How could I do this? My dear, if you really understood what I was doing, you wouldn’t ask me to leave like this. To put it another way, even if I wanted to leave, how could it be so easy?

How about escaping? Think about it carefully, I know so many secrets, will they really let me go so easily?"

"I've thought about it all, dear. Listen to me, my father has saved a sum of money. Can we leave together? Because of these evil people, our lives have been turned upside down and we are no longer happy.

We have long been tired of peace and quiet. My father is already preparing to leave here for New York or Philadelphia. Let’s go together. When we get there, we won’t have to be afraid of them anymore. They won’t come there to look for us, and we will be safe.”

McMurdo smiled and said: "You are too naive, my dear, this society has a wide range of influence. Do you really think that Philadelphia or New York is 100% safe?"

"This way... let's go to a Western country. England? Or Germany? My father is German! Anywhere is fine, as long as we leave here and leave this 'uncanny valley'!"

The word reminded McMurdo of what old Brother Morris said.

"This is the second time I've heard this name, really!" McMurdo said, "It seems that this place has really put a lot of pressure on you, like a nightmare."

"It tortures us all the time and makes our lives full of misfortune. Do you think Ted Baldwin would let us go so easily? If it weren't for his scruples about you, do you think we would still be like this?

Good luck, is it so intact? You only need to see the hungry look in his eyes when he looks at me."

"I swear to God, if I see him like this again, I will never forgive him! But my dear, I really can't leave here like this now. Please believe me, I really can't!

However, if you are willing to give me time and let me think about it, I will find a way to get the best of both worlds."

"There is no perfect method in such a society." "Okay, okay, I won't argue with you. I can't help it if you think so. However, I ask you to give me 6 months.

Time, I will definitely find a way to get the best of both worlds and leave here without hurting anyone."

The girl laughed happily after hearing this.

"Six months!" she shouted happily, "is this your promise?"

"Yes, it may be a little longer, but it will never be more than a year. By then, we can leave this valley that disgusts you together."

Eddie was satisfied with this promise. Although it could not be realized immediately, it was also very important to her. She grasped this glimmer of hope, and the haze in her heart was swept away. She was filled with joy, and she put down her burdens and returned to the country with ease.

In her father's house, she had never been so relaxed and happy since she met McMurdo.

The actions of the Die-Kool Party were not made public to all members, and McMurdo quickly overturned his previous ideas. This organization is not as simple as an ordinary branch. It is widely distributed and has complicated relationships. Sometimes,

There are many things that even Chief McGinty doesn't know. Because there is also an official called a county representative who lives in Hobson's territory far away from the city center. He uses very arbitrary methods to firmly control everyone and rule over various areas.

The same branch. McMurdo only met him once and was deeply impressed. He looked very cunning, his hair was a bit gray, and he felt like a surreptitious mouse, always looking viciously.

He looked sideways at others. He looked very evil. His name was Evans Porter, and he was very powerful. Even the head of Vermissa was a little afraid of him, just like the brave Danton showed fear in front of the ferocious Robespierre.

Same.

One day, Scanlon, a friend who lived with McMurdo, received a simple letter from McGinty. Attached was a letter from Evans Porter, which stated that he was going to send two

Right-hand assistants Lawler and Andrews went to the consular district to carry out a secret mission and asked the leader to help arrange a suitable residence. McGinty commented that no one can completely keep secrets in the union, so McMurdo and

Scanlon arranged for the two men to live in their apartment.

The two men arrived the same night they received the letter, each carrying a handbag. Lawler looked older and shrewder. He was wearing an old frock coat and a soft hat.

The man in the felt hat, taciturn and very steady, with his unkempt gray beard looked like a missionary priest. The other Andrews, who looked like a child, was obviously much more lively. Perhaps because of his younger age, he behaved very

They looked relaxed and energetic, as if they were out enjoying a wonderful vacation, seizing every minute to enjoy themselves. However, both of them refused alcohol and were very insistent on this. It was obvious that they were very professional party members. They were this

The right-hand man of the Murder Association, Lawler has already participated in 14 murders, and young Andrews has also participated in 3 murders.

During the conversation with them, McMurdo found that they were also proud people. They never concealed what they had done in the past, but were proud of it and were very proud of their contributions to the society. However, they were also quite cautious.

Nothing is revealed about the current task to be performed.

"The reason why we were sent out to perform this task is because both of us are teetotal. Therefore, they don't have to worry about us saying something we shouldn't say. These are instructions from the county representatives, and we must

Absolute obedience. Therefore, I cannot confess to you, so please forgive me!" Lawler explained.

"This is natural, we all understand the rules." Scanlon invited everyone to sit down for dinner and said.

"To be honest, we can describe to you in detail how we killed that Charlie Williams, and we can also tell you how that Simon Bird died, and other previous cases, as long as you want

We can tell you everything we know. But in this case, before we complete it, we must not reveal a single bit."

"Let me guess, I have six or seven damn guys here, and I can't wait to teach them a lesson." McMurdo gritted his teeth and said, "Is there a Jack Knox from the Iron Mountain? How many of me?

I hope he can be punished!"

"No, no, it's not his turn yet."

"So, is it Hermann Strauss?"

"No, it's not."

"Okay, okay, although I am very happy to know, but if you really don't want to say more, I won't force you anymore."

Lawler smiled and shook his head, refusing to say anything.

Although they refused to disclose anything, this aroused great interest in McMurdo and Scanlon, and they decided to secretly go and see what was going on. One morning, McMurdo heard the two of them stepping lightly.

The sound of the building hurriedly woke up Scanlon, and they hurriedly got dressed and followed them out. They saw the door of the room below was open, and it was still dark outside, so they could only see the figures of the two people by the light on the roadside.

, McMurdo and Scanlan followed them carefully through the snow.

Since McMurdo's apartment was close to the edge of the town, the two people soon reached a crossroads outside the town. From a distance, they saw three people standing there waiting.

He went up and had a few hasty words with them, and then set off together. McMurdo thought there must be some big operation, otherwise, why would so many people be required to carry out this task together? The several small roads in front lead to various mines.

They took the small road leading to Crow Mountain. The manager of Crow Mountain's mine was a man named Josiah Dunn. He was energetic, ruthless and very capable. So even though it took a long time

Since then, the valley has been so intimidating, but the mines in Crow Mountain have not been affected at all and are still producing in an orderly manner.

It was already dawn, and workers had already come out to work in twos and threes. Some were walking together, and some were alone, walking towards the mine along the long-blackened path.

McMurdo and Scanlon walked slowly among the crowd, keeping their eyes on those people in case they lost them. At this time, a thick smoke rose, and then a whistle sounded, and the sharp sound was very loud.

It was jarring. McMurdo understood that this meant that in ten minutes the cage would be lowered and the day's work would begin.

They came to a very empty place around the mine, where hundreds of miners were already waiting to start work. Because it was so cold, they kept stamping their feet and breathing into their hands. The strangers

After walking to the machine room and stopping, McMurdo and Scanlon stood on a pile of cinders to ensure they could see everything. At this time, the mineral technician came out of the machine room. This was a bearded man.

A Scotsman named Menzies took out his whistle and blew it, directing the cage to be lowered.

At this time, a young man walked towards the mine, with a slender figure, a clean shaven face, and a very honest appearance. As he walked, he discovered a group of strange-looking people who stood there and moved.

He didn't move or make a sound. He lowered his hat very low, covering most of his face, and raised his collar to cover it up. At that moment, the manager had a bad premonition, as if something life-threatening was about to happen.

It was an ordinary matter, but he still ignored the danger and wanted to fulfill his duty, find out the origin of these strangers and get rid of them.

As he walked over, he asked: "Who are you and why are you here?"

No one answered his question, only the young Andrews came out and shot him in the stomach. The miners were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them, and stood there motionless, watching.

There was nothing that could be done about it. The young manager bent down in great pain, covering the wounds on his body with both hands, and stumbled to the other side. But they did not let him go, and the other murderer shot him again, and he finally

He fell to the ground and could not get up again, and died miserably. When the Scottish technician saw it, he screamed in grief and indignation, picked up a big iron hand, and rushed towards the bad guys, but

He was also shot twice immediately, fell down, and died.

Only then did the miners react. There was a commotion in the crowd, and some people gathered and rushed forward. Lawler and Andrews fired several shots at the heads of the crowd, and the people dispersed again. Some people were so scared that they ran away.

He went back to his home in Vermissa.

A few brave people gathered together and returned to the mine. At this time, the murderers had long disappeared from the mine, leaving only two corpses. Although hundreds of people witnessed the tragedy, they

No evidence remained, and the murderers seemed to have disappeared into the early morning fog.

McMurdo and Scanlon also turned around and went home. After witnessing all this, Scanlon was very depressed and hung his head. This was the first time he had seen a murder with his own eyes. It was not a murder like what others had described.

This so-called "game" made him very sad. The tragic cry of the young manager's wife was always remembered in their ears and lingered. McMurdo was shocked and said nothing.

, but when he saw Scanlon shaking with fear, he didn't want to comfort him.

"Indeed, this is indeed like a war." McMurdo kept repeating, "This is really a real war! It is indeed a war between us and them. No matter where we are, as long as we can fight against

If your opponent fights back, you have to fight back hard!"

That night, a carnival party was held in the branch office of the trade union building, and everyone cheered wantonly. This victory was not only about completing the task in a simple sense, but also had other far-reaching significance. This was not only what the branch itself had achieved over the years.

Victory can also make those disobedient companies see the consequences, and they will be obedient and let them be dealt with.

The county representative sent five capable assistants to Vermissa to perform the task. In exchange, he asked Vermissa to also secretly send three men to kill William Hales of Sterkroyal.

Hales is famously respected in the Gilmertown area and everyone loves him. He has always believed that he does everything perfectly and has a balance in every aspect, so no one will hate him or regard him as an enemy.

However, he is very principled at work. He once fired some people who did not work well and only made jokes and drank and made trouble all day long. These people were members of the die-hard party, even though the die-hard party was so powerful.

, he did not surrender, but he was brutally killed, in this free and civilized country.

Ted Baldwin was half sitting and half lying on the seat of honor next to the leader, spreading his limbs and looking very comfortable. He was the leader of this group, and he killed people just like that. His face was red, and his eyes were dull.

It was covered with bloodshot eyes, which also showed that he had not slept or drank too much. The day before, he and his two companions had stayed in the mountains all night. They did not get enough rest and were extremely tired and embarrassed. However, no one

Brothers who come back from the so-called battlefield can receive such an honor as them, and everyone warmly welcomes them back.

They were asked again and again to tell the story of their murder, and the room was filled with excited shouts and laughter. They told that they hid on the top of the steep mountain, waiting for the poor damned man to pass by.

I knew that this man would pass by slowly at dusk, because the weather was too cold, and the poor man was wearing heavy fur clothes, so they pulled him off his horse before he could even take out his gun.

After being shot several times, he screamed and begged loudly for mercy. The die-hard gang members repeated this passage, mocking the begging for mercy before his death.

"Quick, let's hear how he screams again!" shouted this cruel group of people.

None of them knew who the poor man was who had his life taken away, but in order to show their endless pleasure in killing people and to show others that they could be trusted and ruthless, they were all happy to do this.

There was also a small episode. While they were continuing to shoot the poor man's body, a couple drove by. Some people suggested that they kill him together to prevent any accidents, but these two people had nothing to do with the mine.

They had no relationship with each other, so they escaped. They warned the couple to leave quickly and pretend that they had not seen anything. They were not allowed to tell anyone about what they saw today, otherwise their lives would be at risk. Later, the body was left there in a bloody state.

, used to warn all ignorant mine owners, and then they left the steep barren mountain.

They successfully completed the task safely and safely, and the praises and praises of their partners abounded.

This is the festival of the Deadites. Although the haze in the valley is getting thicker and thicker, this is exactly what they want. A smart leader knows how to take advantage of this great opportunity and pursue victory to completely collapse the enemy. The leader

McGinty suddenly thought of an insidious battle plan that could attack those who opposed him. After the drunken gangsters left, McGinty gently touched McMurdo's shoulder and led him

He went to the secret room where they first met.

"Very well, my man." McGinty said, "I have finally found something worth sending you to do. You can go and complete this task yourself."

"I'm glad to hear that," McMurdo also said.

"You can bring two people with you. I have already arranged for you, namely Mendes and Riley. Listen, unless we get rid of Ste Wilcox, we will never be able to roam in this area with peace of mind.

Go down. If you can succeed, your prestige will be greatly improved, and every branch will thank you."

"I will definitely try my best to complete it. So who is he? How can I find him?"

McGinty removed the cigar from his mouth, tore a piece of paper from his notebook and drew a sketch.

"He is the consul general of Dyker Steel Company. He is a very tough man. He was once a sergeant in the Marine Corps. He has gray hair, has been injured many times, and has a strong will. We tried to assassinate him twice but failed.

, but caused Jim Canaway to lose his life. Now, this arduous task is handed over to you. Look at this picture, this house is at the intersection of Dyker Steel Company. There is only this house, no one

You can hear the sound. You can't go there during the day. He is very defensive and shoots when he sees people. His shooting skills are also very accurate. You can only go there at night. He lives with his wife, 3 children, and a servant.

.If you want to kill, kill them all. There is no other way. Just put an explosive in front of the door and put a fuse that is slowly drawn..."

"What did this man do?"

"Didn't I just say that he killed Jim Canaway?" "Why did he kill Jim?"

"Why are you asking so much? Canaway walked to his house at night, and he shot Canaway to death. Okay, that's all, you can make preparations now."

"There are two other women and children. Do you want to kill them too?"

"Of course, kill him together, otherwise how else can you kill him?"

"But, they are innocent. If I want to kill them, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

"What are you talking about? You don't want to do it anymore?"

"Please wait a moment, sir, please don't worry, listen to me. When did I say that I would disobey you? I have never betrayed your orders! No matter what you say, I will just do it."

"So, are you going to complete this mission?" "Of course."

"When?"

"Well, please allow me to take a night or two to check out the terrain, and then make a plan, and then..."

"Very good." McGinty held his hand and said, "I have entrusted you with this important matter. Please don't let me down. I will celebrate it for you. This is the last and most fatal thing."

With one blow, no one will resist us again, hahaha!"

McMurdo suddenly accepted such a task and couldn't help but fell into deep thought. The house where Chester Wilcock lived was in a neighboring valley, about five miles away. That night, McMurdo was alone.

Went to investigate the situation. By the time he finished his inspection, it was already dawn, and then he went to see the two people who were ordered to assist him-Manders and Riley. They were both impulsive young people, and they were very happy.

, as if the mission is not to kill people but just to hunt in the mountains.

After two nights, they decided to take action. The three people met outside the town, all armed with weapons and a bag of explosives taken from the quarry. When they arrived in front of this lonely house,

It was already 2 o'clock at night. The wind was very strong at night, the clouds were many and dense, and the moon sometimes appeared and sometimes hid. They were afraid that the hounds would run out, so they walked very carefully, with the machine guns in their hands always ready, but nothing could be heard except the roar of the wind.

There was no other sound, only the branches swaying in the wind, and everything was quiet.

McMurdo quietly listened to the door of this lonely house for a while, and after making sure there was no sound inside, he placed the explosive pack next to the door, dug a hole with a knife, and lit the fuse. Then they 3

The individual hid in a ditch in the distance to observe the situation, and heard with satisfaction the sound of explosives exploding and the sound of houses falling, which also showed that they successfully completed the task. The task was completed so easily, which is in this

This is unprecedented in the history of the association.

Unfortunately, they later learned that this mission had not been completed at all! Because Chester Wilcock had long expected that after so many people were killed, he would probably be targeted, so he moved the day before.

Not only is it safer there, but I heard that there is also a team of policemen guarding it. So what the explosive blew up was just an empty house with no one in it, and this determined Marine Corps sergeant still manages Dyke Steel as strictly as before.

"Let me come, please let me finish this mission with my own hands. Even if I wait a year, I will find him and kill him." McMurdo requested.

Everyone in the meeting believed that McMurdo could be trusted and expressed their gratitude for his courage and determination, so the matter came to an end for the time being.

A few weeks later, newspaper reports came out that Wilcox had been assassinated! Everyone knew that McMurdo had continued his mission.

Look, this is the method of the die-hard party, this is what they do. They have taken a fancy to the wealth of this area, and do whatever they want to achieve their own interests. They have carried out these terrorist acts for a long time, making people always live in fear.

.Aren’t their crimes too numerous to describe? Haven’t I thoroughly expressed to you their abominable behavior?

What these people did has been recorded, and people can see a series of detailed plots. They also shot and killed two policemen-Hunter and Evans, just because they had upheld justice and arrested two

The Vermissa branch of the Die-Kool Party planned this atrocity and brutally killed them who were unarmed at the time. We can also see that leader McGinty had Mrs. Rabe’s husband beaten severely because she clung to her

He hugged her husband and was brutally shot to death; and the elder Jenkins and his younger brother were killed. James Murdoch was also killed, and he was left physically disabled; and Staplehorse, the whole family

They were all killed; later, a man named Standerus was also killed. One murder after another, tragedy happened again and again, and this cold winter was shrouded in an atmosphere of terror.

The terrifying atmosphere in the Uncanny Valley seems to have no end until the arrival of spring. Although the spring grass sprouts and the streams flow gurglingly, the vigorous breath of nature does not bring hope of life to the people in the Uncanny Valley. They have never
Chapter completed!
