"Sir, what do we do with the animals on this property?" Alexander looked at all the livestock and, knowing they could be infected, asked a question based on his previous knowledge.
Given that any living thing could be possessed by the evil released in this place, it made sense for him to ask what exactly to do with these animals.
Anton looked around and checked the surroundings.
Everything seemed to be flooded with a sense of darkness; it seemed very subtle, as if somehow it didn't want to be detected, but Anton clearly felt that something was wrong.
On this ranch, the animals seemed very agitated. Anton fixed his gaze on a goat that was bleeding among the crowd and slowly pulled out a revolver from his vest, aimed it at that animal, and without hesitation, pulled the trigger.
Bang!
"Zz... Sir, I found two corpses."
Anton turned to where the other agents were but not before saying, "Eliminate all the animals on this ranch; burn their bodies, but do not touch any."
"Understood, sir!"
"Bring the flamethrowers!"
Since evil had invaded the ranch, these animals would be a danger similar to poison; nothing from this place should leave, so it was better to prevent than to regret.
Walking towards where the corpses were, Anton discovered that it was a woman and a man who should be Mr. Ruiz, who had moved the possessed man.
"It all indicates that the man killed the possessed goat; this unleashed the evil, possessing his wife, and she ended up killing him." Rafael was analyzing how Mr. Ruiz and what seemed to be his wife died.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At that moment, all the agents started to eliminate all the animals in the vicinity, one by one.
Anton paid no attention to this and, looking at the dead, murmured, "What a selfish son of a b****; he cursed his ranch by moving that possessed person and condemned his wife to protect what was lost."
"We still have to find the brothers who also participated in this; tracking their cell phones, we know they are on their way to the town." Alexander approached with new information.
Anton said nothing as he watched the flames releasing from the flamethrowers against the corpses of those animals and thought about the best countermeasure to face what was coming.
The search would be quick, but the demon was now free; those who would be contaminating others would be those heading to the town right now.
An emergency text message was sent for people to stay in their homes because a very dangerous killer was detected in this town. However, going back to the same point, this was a small town, and most people used old cell phones.
As the smell of burning spread around, Anton stepped away so that these bodies could also be incinerated.
"He will test us..." Anton thought about this, knowing that the demon was playing with their humanity and what they, as agents of light, could endure.
How far could they go?
What were the worst atrocities they would commit to eliminate the darkness in this world?
"Let's go to the town; we will eliminate all those spreading evil. The mission in this case would be to seal the contamination, find the main demon, and end its incarnated body, then search for the original body and give it eternal rest." Anton was very clear about what he wanted to do.
To tell the truth, there was no other way; the orders Anton was giving were routine that anyone else would give in such a situation.
"The targets are Pedro and Jimmy; the two options we have are the mother of these brothers or Pedro's wife, who has custody of their children." Alexander analyzed the information and informed Anton while receiving more data.
Anton thought about it silently. Who would you prioritize when you know that the town is about to be ruined with all its inhabitants?
Rafael, who looked at Anton and saw his silence, said, "Let's go where their children are; he will surely visit them."
It seemed to be the most coherent option; in that place, Anton would decide if those brothers lived or died. It's not easy to pass judgment for corrupting the town; he knew they weren't involved in what happened and only did what they thought was right, but that would end up sentencing hundreds of people.
"Zz... We have three targets a hundred meters away, stopping; what do we do?"
"Look into their eyes; are their gazes normal?" Anton picked up the radio and asked.
"Zz. Negative, they are crying blood!"
"Then shoot; they are possessed."
Bang! Bang!
Rafael closed his eyes, knowing that today many would die because of one man's recklessness, but this was the war they were fighting. There was no other way; they would have to move forward and face these problems as quickly as possible.
Minutes later, they entered the town; the armored convoy attracted a lot of attention, and everyone who saw this rushed into their homes in fear.
"We are in the community where Pedro's family lives; what are the orders?"
At the moment Anton was about to respond, a shotgun shot was heard in the distance, alarming all the people near the convoy.
"Zz... We saw an animal dragging a girl's body and taking her into the bushes."
Boom!
Minutes later, a car crashed outside the house, a few meters away from where the armored convoy was. Anton asked everyone to put on masks, and looking at the chaos that had been created in a moment, everyone knew that there was little they could do now.
"Start the cleanup!"
Anton looked at the woman who was smiling maniacally in the car as she accelerated, crushing a person against the wall.
Without thinking twice, he raised his pistol and blew her head off.
Bang! Bang!
