Alex looks over the symbol as he nods his head. Without saying another word, he places the journal near the ice mage and proceeds to get closer to the broken window. Usually the man would be studying these two in his own odd manner, but the bigger picture here is far too interesting to waste time with his typical observations. Once he reaches the broken window, he has decided to travel to the closest coordinate first and from there make his way around until he discovers the so call men of mountains. He places his hand on the edge of the broken window frame and prepares to climb out.

Swallower looked down at the tiny, impudent thing aiming a sword at him. He could likely stomp the child flat. Instead, he politely bowed until his neck actually touched the blade. "Greetings. I am the Swallower of Worlds, king of the realm of shadow, lord of lords. Your second inquiry I cannot properly respond to."

A young girl wearing an all white long dress appears on the middle of the room as if unannounced, a young girl with an air thats not like of this world, her posture seems to be without care of whats going on. She walks around the room looking at the walls and then sighed " You should listen to what the boogeyman says, should really stay out of this one. 'People' like you shouldnt really mess with something of this level" Her voice sound clear like glass, carrying a tone of mild irritation. She stopped walking around "Well maybe if its around these levels 'people' still can do it, its still just Nephrintes" She ended her speech with a click of her finger, with that motion words flew from the clipping and research from the wall forming into a ball on the tip of an outheld finger. "I should get going now, I am not really that good in a fight, they are coming here in any minutes"
Meanwhile infront of the precinct Jones stopped his car and spoke to "Martinez" besides him "You can just get down now since you are wearing Martinez face , they will just give you the notes and logs you know" Jones chewed on his donut.

"Swallower of Worlds? Huh, that sounds familiar." Arthur didn't get to ask any more questions before the girl in white appeared. Regardless, he did not remove his sword from Swallower's neck until she vanished again. At that point he placed the blade on his shoulder.
"That was cryptic as hell. So from what I understand, the cultists are trying to summon some Nephrintes guy and he's supposed to be tough. And also, we're about to be attacked. You guys know how to fight, right?"

Swallower grumbled. Why was it these mysterious waifs must always be so unhelpful? "She excessively underestimated me. You may continue your investigation while I handle this threat." He stretched his four arms and stepped to the window to look out with two eyes, other two looking back just in case they teleported into the room.
___
Huntsman grinned. "Really? Great, then I don't need you!" He moved his needle to inject Jones like he did Martinez and hopped from the car. He walked slowly into the station, alien territory to him. He looked around once inside. He had to be careful here, not stand out. He spun to the nearest desk and slammed his hand down. "I need the case files on the murder in the apartment immediately!"

Before he makes his escape, the sudden visitor appears and describes the situation to them. Alex smiles at the news and proceeds to make his move. He removes himself from the house and walks around the property as he sets up a few of his wire thread traps. After being satisfied with his work, he hops back into the room and quietly waits for the others.

The man in glasses looked up "You want that dead end case file ? Why?" The man looked up in his PC before going into the racks behind him finding the file before sighing "Here we go , middle aged man living in the slums since around a year ago , rent paid in cash . The coroner have given up on examining it since there are so much inconsistency with the corpse" The report contains observation about the corpse , several weird things is emphasized , starting from how the corpse contains pretty much every great disease both still existing and those extinct, how the cause of death didnt match anything and can only be achieved if human nails implode from the inside of the victim stomach and how there is a massive ammount of endorphin in the victims body, which indicate that the victim was extremely happy premortem or post mortem "There you go , thats all we got , we liked to pretend that file doesnt exist though, so its better if you dont look at it more" Banging sound can be heard from the innermost door of the apartment, children cries were heard from the door together with a muted call for help and scratching sound of nails against wood , the door were boarded just like any other door using plywood

The second Arthur heard the cries, he was in the hallway. He had a feeling it was a trap. But he didn't care. He couldn't risk it. A giant claw appeared in front of the door, grabbed it and pulled it straight out, leaving a giant hole for anyone to come in through. Or to attack Arthur through.

Huntsman looked carefully at the information. It was impossible for a normal human. What could do this? He ran it through his head. Some corrupted deity, or even some normal ones. Warden could fake it with some time to imitate the bacteria and viruses earlier. A grim reaper could certainly carry that many diseases, but he wasn't sure about the finger stuff. And it would have to be an old one to be carrying scarlet fever and smallpox. "I don't suppose the coroner still has the body?" He asked, still puzzling over the file. A new possibility was stirring in his mind. Nothing made sense for him to be dead and the victim was himself mysterious. Could he be a new threat in death?
___
Swallower spun at the noise. "Fool! Check before allowing entry!" He picked up one of the planks in two hands like a quarterstaff, leaving the other open for unarmed combat.

Staring at the hole in the wall from the corner of the room, Alex lifts his hands up and wiggles his fingers. He prepares to take on whatever comes there way, yet he couldn't help but to smile at the excitement that is exploding from within his body. He doesn't bother to even comment on the ice mage's move, but rather silently thanks the short man for his rush action. What wonderful horrors are in store behind that wall? he asks himself with utter glee.

I think its prepped for diposal tonight , so i guess they still have it here down in the corpse boxes. and since it would be transported today nobody will lock it as well " The man lifted his glasses "Why are you interested in all this Martinez , the case is a dead end you know and its from the slum , so you wont get anything from it" THe police station still seems busy from the hustle of the crime reports, its as if more prominent cases were handled faster while cases with no 'weight' were backshelfed to be handled way way later Beyond the door were 1 middle aged woman ,and 3 childrens, they all look impoverished as if they have starved and suffered from malnutrition for more than a month. Their eyes look sunken and gaunt, their mouth gaping and some kind of a language on a strange dialect came out of their mouth, their expression panicked when they see the people that just rip the door open. One of the children a young boy, rushed forward spreading his arm as if he want to protect the rest of the people behind him , shouting words at the strangers that's looking at them as if they are ready to fight

"Calm down, you two. I don't think some malnourished children want to fight you. You can put away your weapons. But... Stay on your guard. Disguises and traps don't seem unlikely."
Arthur took a step into the room and went down onto one knee, holding out some candy bars for the poor people. It's a good thing he always brings some with him, just in case.

"Corpse boxes? Those sound ama--er, I grew up in the slums asshole! I care about what happens to the people there so you'd better watch your mouth!" He hoped Martinez actually had grown up in the slums. Otherwise that was a very strange thing to say. He looked quickly at a map of the Police station and if the morgue wasn't on it, he asked the officer before him.
___
Swallower made a rumbling sigh that shook the floor and stepped away. His monstrous form was certainly not helping matters, so he took it around the corner to gaze out the window again.

Alex looks at the small family with a bit of interest and continues to stare at them. It was not everyday that he sees starving people. Though unlike Arthur, he didn't really care to feed them. He just wants to watch them and see what they would do. He doesn't try to explore the room as eager as the others. He walks slowly forward at a pace that a turtle would make fun of, while he continues to maintain his creepy stare at the kids. Even though he didn't want to come off as terrifying, he natural mannerisms and body structure just seems to have that effect on normal people. Though he didn't like the way the one child moves forward, should he get too close and in a hostile fashion, Alex will simply restrain him with a simple and harmless whole body wire thread technique.

The man eyes glinted , he pushes his glasses upward and looked straight into what he assumed to be Martinez eyes. The air in the police station dropped cold as the whole police station stopped what they are doing and looked at "Martinez". " Grew up in the slums eh ? "The cops in the police station all raises their gun and pointed at 'Martinez'. The glasses man voice turned cold, its the voice of a man who will kill someone in cold blood at a moments notice "I dont think you understand what you are looking at, you faker. I known Martinez since grade school, and let me tell you one thing his parents lives in the upper part of town. So on the count of one, you either explain the hell you are and what did you do Martinez... Or I swear to god, I will get the whole precinct even the whole city against you, starting from the count of two. One" The police station readied their aim , with some even appearing to have worn special forces gear carrying various weaponry. Seems like this city answer to weirdness was to shoot at it till it dies if it still lives and to ignore it when they died One of the young girls in the back , reached for the candybar before the middle aged woman pulled her back and raised a high tone on her in the same language they are speaking previously, the young boy seems to have tightened his guard, he shouted in the unknown language again, his eyes bleeding with hatred looking at the people in room as if he seen the enemy of his lifetime, it seems like these kids have been badly traumatized and look as if they cannot trust anyone

The people appeared terrified and didn't trust them. Arthur wished he had brought Loveline with him. She could probably get them to calm down somehow. Looks like he'll have to improvise.
First, he slid the chocolates on the floor so the kids cold take them without getting closer to him. Then he started gesticulating. He pointed at himself. "We." He lifted up his hands in a 'scary' fashion. "Monsters." Then he wagged his finger. "Not." Once more he pointed to himself. "We." He made a heart with his hands and smiled as genuinely as he could. "Friends."

Huntsman's eyes widened and he raised his arms. "I was kidding, assholes! God, I just want to figure out the case! Prove myself a little!" Oh, Eve would not like it if he killed the entire police force of a town. But she also wouldn't like it if he took 12 rounds and walked away with a dozen witnesses. At least if he retaliated he got a meal.
___
Swallower was bugged by the people in the other room. Why did they not speak the language of this land? He didn't think this was Spanish either, also common in this country. For once Huntsman would be useful. At least he understood many tongues. But no, it was better he stay far away from this. Swallower knew him too well to allow his interference.

Swallower knew him too well to allow his interference. Everyone in the police room stared at him, the man in the front pushed his glasses with his finger, he opened his mouth and sighed "Wrong answer faker" with that word the whole precinct seems to have fired at Huntsman, each of the rounds were fired with military discipline to prevent crossfire, each of the round were fired with atypical intent for cops, they were aimed not to incapacitate but to outright kill and maim the target. The rounds were of various kinds, there are some that functions by heating the bullet , some that unfurled into razor sharp wires, and even those that are basically makeshift single direction fragmentation grenades. "George ! Slam the emergency button, call everyone here, including the 55th !" the man with glasses shouted to a guy near the back, as if this have been reheased , he slammed what look like ordinary light switch. - The boy stills looks as if he is scared, but his expression soften seeing Arthurs gesture, the woman begin to speak with broken 'english' " No enemy you ? No friend of who burns? You save ?" The woman tone were both confused and afraid, she hugged both the girls tighter, however a person with insight will notice that only one child seems scared, stealing peeks from the womans arm, her eye worried and distressed as if she is hiding something, her eyes went to the place they were imprisoned earlier

"Yes, we're here to save you. Now come on, we need to go. I think bad things are coming." He accompanied his words with some more gestures, just in case, before extending his hand once more.

Huntsman stood and took each shot. His body took each shot with a splatter of gore and a stumble in the direction the force pushed him. Ordinary bullets and shrapnel tore through him. The razor wires mutilated him in horrible ways. The incendiary rounds were caused great scorching holes in him and were the only to drag a sound from him, little yelps that became less and less human with each shot. When their fire ended, he stood as a mangled police officer, riddled with scorch marks and bullet holes, body choked with wire digging into his flesh for a second. Then he laughed.
As he did, his uniform became riddled with more red than his blood could account for, especially since it seemed to be vanishing back into his body. "I was being nice coming in looking like one of you! I would rather have come in and killed every last one of you! And you know what?" His police cap melted down as his face elongated, becoming a set of horns on his stretched jaws. "That's just what I'm going to do now!" He lunged and sought to impale an officer through the chest with the horns crowning his snout. ___
Swallower looked back around the corner, still not seeing anything approaching. He only made it a quick glance, since the family surely would react poorly to his visage. It was still enough time for him to notice the child looking at where they were sealed. In fear? Because they had been locked away there? Swallower grumbled and suddenly a thought dawned in his head. "Do not mind my intrusion." He stepped fully into the room and strode past the family, casting eyes that could cut through any darkness about the room where they recently trapped.
