When we left, we saw the gate that we had to cross to be able to follow our path, but Leon had a bad feeling. He approached the mural and saw that the area was being watched by the settlers armed with axes, dynamites, machetes and other elements.

He asked me for the rifle and I handed it to him, put a silencer on his rifle, positioned himself as a sniper and started firing at each one while I watched with his binoculars. Actually he was very good to hit the target and right in the head, he killed them with one shoot down.

  - Let's go. - Leon warned me, returning the rifle.

I prepared my gun, as well as he and we entered, we had to cross some bridges, well in fact that seemed because they were really huge wooden boards, not very safe to cross, so we were very careful to do it.

From one moment to another we saw a villager carrying a dynamite in front of us, before throwing it to us Leon shot him, he fell into the void and we heard an explosion below.

- Chiaaa. - I mumbled astonished looking into the void.

- Move, come on. - Kennedy ordered and we walked until we reached the other side and thus leave that sector.

Minutes after having walked a lot, we found a house and entered a room. I kept my gun and took a look, it was not very wide, I could say it was a little cozy, there was a bed, a closet, a shelf with several books, even a desk and a window.

Soon my eyes focused on a painting with the image of a man, it was that man ... who belongs to the sect of Los Iluminados, the same one who ordered these two monks and the inhabitants to follow me.

- Leon, this is the man, I guess he's the leader of the Illuminati. - I commented while I showed him.

- Mmm, he has a terrifying face. - He said.

- Look, there are some files. - I pointed while reading those. In the document said something about a parasite called "Las Plagas".

Considering that the viruses created by the Umbrella Corporation, which destroyed the mind and body of people through mutations, producing necrosis in the host's body, Las Plagas, being a parasite, are more subtle, silently linking to the central nervous system of the victim and taking control of his mind.

Humans infected with Las Plagas, unlike zombies, maintain human appearance and speech ability, and appear relatively normal in appearance. They also retain their human intelligence and ability to act collectively. This makes them more dangerous than other organisms, as they are silent, intelligent and well organized.

When multiple plagas are inserted into human armies, they cause the host to undergo drastic physical mutations and more leeches as in appearance. They are able to regenerate the body of the host ...

- Wooow. - I mumbled as I read, I changed pages.

Las Plagas were very ancient parasitic organisms that lived in a remote region of Spain many years ago, these parasites were worshiped by a religious sect called "Los Iluminados"; however, the first Castilian knight of the region and governor of a castle that remained in that place decided to eradicate las plagas forever and had them buried in the old mines of the castle and kill all the leaders of the sect ...

- Las Plagas. - Leon said thinking. - I never heard about that.

Suddenly we heard a noise in the floor below.

- What was that? - I asked while folding the file.

- Let's find out. - Leon said taking his gun in hand.

Then I put the file in my backpack and he opened the door slowly. I could hear some villagers say something in spanish.

- There is a rumor that there are foreigners among us. - Said one.

- Our boss will take care of them. - Said another. - And if La Plaga is much better ...

We entered the corridor and suddenly felt a step behind us, when we turned around we realized that it was the same bearded man. This bald took us from the neck and raised us to a certain height that not even our feet touched the ground.

Leon and I tried to free ourselves but it was too strong, besides he dropped his gun and I had not prepared mine. Lesson of the day to be always armed when I visit a strange town.

After a moment that man looked us in the eye and let us fall to the ground, Kennedy massaged his neck and sat on the ground recovering oxygen, however I decided to lie down and give a strong sigh.

- You both carry the same blood as us it seems. - The bearded man spoke. I lay back and looked at him. - Nevertheless, you're outsiders. - The big guy continued. - Just remember, if you become oppress to our eyes, you'll face severe consequences.

I felt chills when hearing that voice, it was a threat or warning or whatever you want to call it, but why did he free us? I thought it was my end.

That guy entered the room where we had been.

- What? Same blood? - The agent asked, standing up, confused recovering the air.

I, still leaning on the floor, looked at him trying to understand what he meant, until I saw Leon grabbing his gun and entered the room. Is he drugged?

- Leon wait! - I exclaimed getting up.

I followed him and observed that he was hit by the bearded man, Kennedy fell to the ground and his weapon to another part, further away. I was shocked, that guy with his huge foot stepped on the agent and he couldn't get out.

- No! - I shouted and the "big cheese", as the spaniard Luis Sera had called him, turned to see me. I swallowed my saliva.

He prepared to attack me, but two shots, through the window, came to his back, it seems that he got angry and decided to follow who had issued those shots. He jumped out of it, completely breaking the glass and I haven't seen it more.

Where will he have gone? Who will have fired? Whoever it is, we owe it the life.

The american got up and grabbed his gun, I leaned back through the door with a sigh of relief.

- What you smoked? - I asked in spanish watching him.

- What?

- What were you thinking? Well, recently you weren't thinking, because if you were thinking you wouldn't have come back here.

Leon just ignored me and looked at the window, I rolled my eyes, it was obvious he was drugged.
