Chapter 70: The Ambrose Brothers
The sudden incident left Wade stunned on the spot.
He didn't know whether to go up and help for a moment.
Carly jumped out of the car, looking surprised as well.
But unlike Wade, seeing Lester subdued, she actually felt a sense of "finally revealed his true colors."
Along the way, Lester's impression on Carly was mediocre.
Dirty and messy appearance, carrying a knife, and often sizing her up with malicious intent.
This made Carly hover on the edge of "getting off or not" for a while.
Compared to Lester, that handsome priest gave her a greater sense of security.
Obviously, in this era of judging people by appearance, Carly had long stood on William's side.
Sadie was much calmer.
Having experienced a series of previous events, she knew William wouldn't do useless things.
Therefore, when her companion took action, Sadie immediately took out her weapon.
At the same time, she asked William with her eyes—whether to suppress these two young people as well.
"Relax, Ms. 'Cooper'."
William still addressed Sadie by her fake name.
"These two young people should be victims; they don't know."
Hearing William call him "young person," Wade frowned; the age gap between the two didn't seem large.
But then he heard the keyword.
Victims?
"Um... Father, what exactly is going on?" Wade asked.
"What... is going on?"
Lester said ferociously.
"I was kind enough... to give you a ride, and you actually did... such a thing!"
Hearing Lester's words, Wade felt a bit embarrassed, as if he was also involved in this plot.
"Father... please..."
He was interrupted by William just as he wanted to persuade.
"Alright, Mr. Lester, don't act like you are innocent."
William opened the car door and dragged Lester directly to the ground.
"I don't know how many young men and women you have lured into the town to become members of the living wax figures."
As soon as this remark came out, obvious shock flashed in Lester's eyes, but he quickly covered it up.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
William chuckled lightly.
He imitated Sadie's previous method of dealing with the "Multi-legged Humans" and slashed Lester's limb joints.
Of course, accurately avoiding vital points.
The latter cried out in pain again.
Upon meeting, William recognized Lester's identity—one of the three brothers of the House of Wax.
This information was only revealed in the second half of the original work.
And Lester also appeared at the end of the film as the sole survivor.
This is the consistent style of horror movies, leaving a suspense at the end.
But the wax museum William encountered was obviously different from the original work.
To gather intelligence, he accepted Lester's invitation.
And through the conversation with the latter, it was not difficult to guess that there were few living people in the town.
This could be inferred from the ambiguity in Lester's words.
Regarding how to deal with prey corpses, Lester could talk freely.
But he was vague about basic questions like "what entertainment activities are there in the town."
This was obviously abnormal.
Lester clearly knew the way into the town very well.
And he also mentioned that his two brothers lived in the town all year round, and the three had a relationship thicker than water.
Reasonably speaking, it was impossible for Lester not to have entered the town at all.
Therefore, William guessed there must be some reason for this.
So he asked the second topic—how to deal with prey.
From the conversation, he learned that Lester's methods were similar to conventional hunters and did not show obvious extraordinary abilities.
And Seymour once mentioned that the two brothers in the town both possessed terrifying power.
So William guessed that Lester might still be an ordinary person.
And this point was verified at this moment.
At this time, Lester was bleeding all over, showing obvious fear on his face.
This also gave William a chance to act.
He stared into the former's eyes and launched [Psychological Counseling] on him.
"Poor Mr. Lester, life alone in the dense forest must not be easy. I am willing to be your listener."
Accompanied by William's low voice, Lester actually let down his guard little by little.
"We brothers were abandoned..."
According to Lester, his two brothers were originally conjoined twins, but their father forcibly separated them through surgery.
This also led to Vincent's violent personality, while Bo's face was ruined because of the surgery.
Lester himself was abused since childhood because he was not his father's biological son.
After their mother died, the three brothers joined hands to kill their father.
But Vincent and Bo didn't stop there.
They became obsessed with the thrill of killing and obsessed with making people into wax figures.
Until one day, a man in a black hood came to the town.
"He called himself Azazel, an agent of the True Lord..."
The other party easily subdued Vincent and Bo, but didn't kill them.
Instead, he gave the two brothers true power.
"I also craved this power, but that man said 'the town also needs ordinary people'."
Speaking of this, Lester smiled bitterly.
In short, after that, he took on the task of luring humans into the town.
And because Vincent and Bo's power was unstable.
To avoid accidentally injuring Lester, the latter lived alone in the forest.
As for Sasha's whereabouts, Lester indeed knew.
"A few days ago, I did bring a nun to the town."
"This woman is not easy to deal with. Vincent took some effort to subdue her. They should act on her today."
William's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
According to Lester, Sasha should still be alive.
This relieved William a lot; he was prepared to only find a corpse.
As for the man named "Azazel," he guessed the other party should be a member of some cult.
And the changes in the wax museum were also caused by the other party.
It was not difficult to see that this person seemed to have turned the town of Ambrose into some kind of sacrifice production site.
William rubbed his chin, thinking about follow-up countermeasures.
Aside, Carly and Wade had already widened their eyes.
The two didn't quite understand the current situation.
Didn't the priest stab Lester a few times?
Didn't the latter hate him to the bone?
How come in a blink of an eye... the two chatted face to face like good friends?
And Lester just told the truth like that?
Carly was full of doubts; this bad guy seemed to have weak willpower.
But at first, she clearly felt this person was dangerous.
Wade listened for so long and finally understood which side he should stand on.
Sadie held her arms calmly; she was used to this scene.
Instead, she stared at the reaction of the two young people with interest. At the same time, after knowing Lester's true intentions, Carly and Wade were both scared.
They couldn't imagine what their fate would be if they hadn't met the priest.
"Pouring hot wax... chopping off arms..."
Carly swallowed hard; it sounded painful just listening to it.
At this time, Ambrose Town.
Inside a basement.
Sasha lay on a workbench, her eyes closed tightly, her hands and feet bound.
There was a cart beside her with some gauze, needles, knives, and other instruments on it, making this place look like an operating table.
At this time, a man was standing beside Sasha.
Bo had shoulder-length hair covering his ugly face.
He stared at Sasha, his whole face wrinkled together.
"Can we start the 'Lobotomy'?"
At this time, a voice sounded behind Bo.
He turned his head and found it was his brother Vincent.
Unlike Bo, Vincent had a normal face, even somewhat handsome.
"The power of protection on her is very strong; I need more time."
Bo said in a hoarse voice.
Vincent frowned and looked silently at the nun on the workbench.
