Before it was dark, Xu Bai went downstairs alone. He seemed to be walking through the streets and alleys of Insmouth as if nothing had happened. Finally, he stood in the golden port with the sunset, looking at the vast ocean and a rocky rock in the distance.

"Stop the tide from coming, what is the tide?"

"I have no clue at all. Why does every main mission seem like a puzzle?"

When he arrived at the port, an old man was riding fishing nets here. Xu Bai did not shy away and asked directly: "Old man, do you know what the arrival of the sea tide means?"

His behavior was like walking downstairs, and when he passed by his neighbor, he asked: "Oh! It's pretty early! Have you eaten?"

The old man shook his head and acted dullly. Insmouth's face was not much warmer in the sunset, but it looked even more gloomy.

Xu Bai, who had no harvest, looked at the village that started with fish catches, and then looked at the ocean of endless waves, intending to return to the hotel before dark.

He went around a big circle, and this time he walked around the outside of the town. When he passed the brand new church, he saw a familiar object!

That was the wizard of the church, wearing a robe and holding a classic, but the most conspicuous one was the golden crown he wore on his head, which was seen by Xu Bai in the History Museum in Newpolibert before.

The 'Golden Crown of Believers' was exactly the same as what I had seen before.

"So this is the Dagon Secretology."

Because of distance, the mage quickly walked into the church. He couldn't see the man's face clearly. He could clearly see the gloomy face of Insmouth, and the fish gills that seemed to be there and there were nothing and grew on the neck!

When I returned to the hotel room, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening. The moonlight quietly climbed into this quiet fishing village. The population is not large, but it gathered in a village, but it was silent at night. It was as quiet as a desolate dead city.

Tick ​​tick!

Players can clearly hear the clock hand in their room moving at night, and the urgency of scratching their hearts and hearts arises naturally when they step into Insmouth.

No one planned to go out to look for clues at night that night. They all had the same consensus. When they saw Insmouth's faces spread throughout the town, they felt that they fell into the enemy's nest without exception.

If you take advantage of the hazy night, there may be clues, but the risk factor will increase exponentially.

They all agreed to take a night off first and then gather tomorrow morning to find the whereabouts of the "Sea Tide".

Xu Bai took out the Book of Dead in his room and continued to study it. At this moment, he was surprised to find that after being promoted to an alpha player, he could actually understand some new content.

“Maybe this is what it means to acquire additional knowledge.”

He suddenly saw a piece of information about the god who was silent in the deep sea and murmured in his sleep, an evil god named Cthulhu.

Because the Book of Dead is so old that many mantras and prayers have been lost, it seems that what is useful is not very useful.

Xu Bai forgot how long he had been watching. Now at the α level, after reading all the useful information recorded in Cthulhu, he did not deduct the rational value.

On the contrary, he suddenly felt exhausted and began to fall asleep!

Tat--

Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!

At night, Xu Bai was half asleep and half awake, and he seemed to hear strange footsteps coming from outside the corridor of the room.

Squeak!

Then there was the sound of my door being pushed open!

"who?"

Xu Bai immediately stood up and asked sleepyly.

But the door of the room was still closed and the sound of footsteps outside had disappeared. He just stared at the door for a few seconds, and Xu Bai, who was awakened by the noise, was still sleepy and turned over and fell asleep.

A few minutes passed, and inexplicable footsteps continued to sound in the corridor outside the door.

It was like a pair of wet big feet walking on the old wooden floor. The wet touch was heard through the sound, as if the man had flippers, he stepped on the ground and fitted with the wooden board, and then lifted his feet and pulled it out.

Tat--

Tat--

This sound lasted for more than half an hour. Xu Bai still slept soundly, and the sound of footsteps outside could not stop him from falling asleep.

......

......

The next morning, the sun shone on the velvet curtain, and the weak dark gold color made Xu Bai's face slightly warm.

He slept firmly, without any fatigue, and looked at the clock in the room, it was already 9 a.m.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

As soon as I woke up, there was a rush knock on the door outside.

Xu Bai reluctantly opened the door. What he came to him was his teammates, including Zhao Qingtian. Everyone was a little listless and had dark circles on his face. It was obvious that he didn't sleep well last night.

"Anssen is missing!" Liston stared at Xu Bai and asked again: "Did you hear any strange footsteps last night?"

"I heard it, and it seemed that I heard a guy opening us, intending to attack me at night, but when I got up, I found that the door was still closed, so I continued to sleep."

Xu Bai nodded and admitted, and then everyone looked at each other.

"We all heard footsteps!"

Wu Tian's face looked even more ugly, "I heard the terrifying footsteps yesterday, like a guy who fell into the water stepped on the floor to observe us. I didn't dare to go out and stared at the door all night."

"Andsen lived next to me yesterday, but yesterday I heard nothing except footsteps, nor did he hear his room being opened, nor did he hear Andersen's struggle and screaming!"

"As soon as he went to his room today, he was missing!"

"This is different from the previous dungeon. The D-level dungeon starts at least at the end. Only after we discover the secret will an accident occur. But now, we have a teammate missing at the beginning..." He calmed down and became more and more scared. He had the urge to escape from Insmouth.

Zhao Qingtian stood up and said, "Everyone calm down first. Although Andersen is missing, there is no news of his death so far. He must be in this town. We have a lot of people now, so we can divide into two teams to find it!"

Liston nodded and echoed: "Indeed, if the teammate's death game interface will show a death notice. He should have had an accident when he had footsteps last night and has not died yet, it means that this disappearance is useful."

"It may be too late to find it now."

The 7 people discussed and divided into two teams, with three iron triangles on one side of Zhao Qingtian, Xu Bai and Uncle, and then there were 4 people left.

The two teams separated in front of the hotel. They searched on the streets and alleys, and asked about the whereabouts of Andersen, the resident here. They also planned to break into the most suspicious "Dagon Secretary Cult".

But he was still expelled by the believers of the Dagon Secretology and was warned not to enter.

It was 12 noon, and the small Insmouth was almost turned upside down by them, but there was still no trace of Andersen.

Woo--

There were residents blew the horn at the pier, and then a large fishing boat slowly appeared at the port. Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and looked at the golden light reflected by the sunlight on the mast.

The thing looks very much like the golden crown of the Dagon Secretology, but the distance is too far and the golden light is dazzling. He just roughly guessed.

Then the fishermen stood at the bow of the boat and cast nets to the seaside to catch fish. A group of believers in Dagon's robes were kneeling at the port to pray.

"You said that this place is as poor as this bird, why do you still insist on fishing and not going to develop in other directions?" Xu Bai asked for no reason.

Zhao Qingtian was not in the mood to think about this. The purpose of their trip was to stop the tide, but his teammates disappeared on the first day, and an even more imminent crisis was around her. Her mind was still thinking about where Andersen would be.

Xu Bai was still staring at the port, watching the fishing boat sail and sailing toward the far end.

At this moment, bad news came from my mind!

【Player Andersen is dead】

"I disappeared at night and died now. Why is it?" Zhao Qingtian couldn't figure it out.

The uncle didn't say a word, he was not very good at brains and his fist skills were good. He was the most suitable for any physical work, but when it comes to finding clues and finding secrets, he couldn't turn it around.

At this moment, Xu Bai suddenly turned his head and said, "I seem to have thought of a way to break through this copy."

"breakthrough?"

Facing this word, Zhao Qingtian frowned and asked, "Do you know how to stop the tide from coming?"

"No, I don't even know how Andersen died." Xu Bai replied with a very worthy beating.

"This game is too difficult. I don't know any information. It's better to find another way."

As he said that, he smiled.

"I'll try this method. This is the method I saw in the Book of the Necromancer yesterday. If it is used improperly, at most we will fail to exit the copy and we can continue to work hard next time."

Xu Bai did not tell the two of them what they were doing. He left the team mysteriously alone and walked towards the market in Insmouth.

As soon as he left, another team found Zhao Qingtian and the other gathered.

"Have you discovered anything?" Liston asked.

Zhao Qingtian said: "We don't know how Andersen died. The only suspicion now is the Dagon Secretology, which is a place where neither of our teams have ever been."

Liston said again: "That place is indeed not suitable for forcing. So many residents here have the same Innsmouth face, and it is very likely that they are all in the same group. Tonight we don't want to have one room one person. We may be able to divide into 1 to 2 teams to squeeze into one room, which is safer."

He pondered for a while, and then said, "In this way, Xu Bai and you are in the same team. You three are in the same room tonight. You are lawless, Qi Jingxuan and Chen Qiang are in the same room."

"I'm alone!"

"What? You want someone!?" said calmly and unbelievably.

"That's right, as long as you have more people and I'm the only one in the room, then if he comes back tonight, he will probably come to me." Liston nodded and said.

"We need clues, and the sound of footsteps that night was the clues. Of course, I won't sit and wait for death. My room is arranged next to you. If I am in danger, I will call for help as soon as possible so that you can surround me from the back!"

No one has any objection to Liston's voluntary sacrifice as bait.
