Chapter 27 - Dagon(1/2)
The next day.
At six o'clock in the morning, the mist covering Insmouth was penetrated by the temperatureless sunlight. That night, only Xu Bai was able to fall asleep peacefully in the room.
That kind of thing happened, Wu Tian was missing. The two teammates went crazy. No matter how good Zhao Qingtian and the uncle had, they could not think of Xu Bai. They could snore when they returned to the room and closed their eyes.
After they had some rectification, they woke up Xu Bai who was still sleeping. At 7 o'clock, they gathered outside the corridor.
"I don't care about these two teammates, it's important to find lawless first."
Liston closed the door of 204, and the two people who were knocked out showed no sign of awakening.
Zhao Qingtian and the uncle nodded. There were only four people who could take effective action this time. Xu Baize and Liston teamed, and they divided into two groups to continue looking for teammates.
This time they deliberately paid more attention to the Dagon Secretology here. The church did not enter and exit frequently. They spent 2 hours searching the streets and alleys in the town.
The residents of Insmouth looked like they were looking at mice. No matter where the few people went, they always felt stared at by invisible eyes and had nowhere to escape.
In the end, several people stayed at the church door to monitor the flow of people here.
However, during this search, they found that the outer edge of the town was surrounded by red paint, and there were crooked curves spreading towards the center.
"There was no such strange trace yesterday. What is this?" Liston squatted down and checked.
Xu Bai explained, "This is the magic circle I drew, it's amazing. I drew 70% to 80% yesterday, but today I can finish it in about one or two hours."
Liston nodded without saying anything.
Several people stared at the Dagon Secret Teachings, until noon, a fishing boat appeared again at the port.
It was yesterday's fishing boat, and even the position of the golden crown on the mast was not changed. The believers of the Dagon's Secretology were surrounded by them, kneeling down and singing praises to the sea.
Woo woo!
The sound of horns came from the bow of the ship, and then someone threw something into the sea, as if casting a net, not like throwing a net.
The port is located in a straight street. They are located at the end of the street. This is the road to the town and next to it is the church.
From here, although you can't hear what's happening in the port, you can see the approximate number of people there from afar.
Suddenly, Liston had a flash of inspiration.
"Is it almost the same time before Andersen's death yesterday? I remember that the game system was notified shortly after the sound of the horn in the port!"
Zhao Qingtian and Liston thought of going together.
"Sea Tide! Isn't that whole ocean in the port? The secret of this copy must be about this ocean! We all found the wrong one! The Dagon Secretology may be just one of the clues. Although we checked the entire Insmouth, we have never looked for the port, and we have never been to the fishing boat!"
The suspicious point was magnified here, and the four of them quickly ran to the port, watching the huge fishing boats getting farther and farther away. When all of them arrived at the edge of the ocean, the fishing boats had long become a black spot.
At this time, the believers who knelt down and prayed to the ocean left as if nothing had happened, without even looking at the player.
Just as a gust of sea breeze blew, the death message appeared in their minds.
【Player lawless and dead】
"Once we may not find the clue. This is the second time. At the same time, there must be something wrong with this fishing boat!" Zhao Qingtian looked at the white waves and smashed the shattered stones. The danger coefficient of this copy far exceeded her expectations.
"If I just died, it doesn't matter, I can look for it!"
Liston took off all his shirt, and his tight muscles were bathed in the dazzling golden light. He said that, and went into the water at the place where the fishing boat was just now.
"Do you want to die? This is the ocean, this is not a swimming pool or a lake!"
The uncle wanted to step forward and hold Liston, but the other party plunged into the water without looking back, and the uncle couldn't keep up.
The three of them were waiting for Liston's figure on the shore. A few minutes later, a head appeared on the water where the surging waves appeared. Liston crawled back to the shore from the water in a mess, holding something in his hand.
He raised the sunglasses in his hand and said, "Now I know where they are!"
Xu Bai just sighed: "It seems that it is very likely that they were all drowned. This is much more painful than being killed instantly by monsters."
"No wonder you can see the trumpet blowing in the distance, and they threw things on the water in the water. These guys actually threw our companions into the water! Including the people from the Dagon Secretariat praying, it was like a sacrifice. They kidnapped our teammates at night, and then threw people into the water at the designed time and sacrificed our teammates to this ocean!"
Zhao Qingtian continued to analyze: "So, as long as there are enough sacrifices in this ocean, will it summon the tide to come?"
"We lost two teammates, and we still don't know what Haichao is."
Liston took out a new casual outfit in his backpack and changed his clothes on the spot, and he did not shy away from it.
"There are still clues. The only Dagon esoteric religion in Insmouth needs to be sacrificed by living people. So I guess as long as I get into their church, I can know what the hell is going on."
Soon he changed his clothes, but he saw the man sitting alone on the reef at the port.
The man looked like a homeless man, with a ragged dress and a sloppy face. Looking at the bottle of wine in his hand, he looked like a drunkard who had all his savings left to buy drunk.
The only thing that is eye-catching is that this man doesn’t have an Insmouth face!
This guy is the only normal person to see in Insmouth!
He had normal eyes, his face looked full of natural emotions, and he was looking at him.
Zhao Qingtian and a few people came up naturally. Xu Bai, who was following at the end, originally wanted to follow him, but he saw a familiar figure at the grocery store behind him.
An Insmouth face was staring at him. Unlike the peeping feeling here, he actually felt... gentleness on that face?
Peter grabbed the wet tissue that was already yellow and stained in his palm.
When Xu Bai looked at Peter, he found that the information he was staring at in his head had changed.
It was the husband of the couple who boarded the bus while Newpolibert was heading to Insmouth.
[Peter's current favorability: 80]
"It's still 20 points higher than before?" Xu Bai was puzzled. He didn't do anything to Peter. He hadn't met since he gave him a wet tissue.
“What the hell happened?”
I saw Peter wave to Xu Bai like a little jass, and signaling him to go over with shyness that he was not used to.
Xu Bai glanced at the three of them and left the team without telling his teammates.
......
......
When the drunk man saw Zhao Qingtian and the others coming, his face turned red and he was drunk, but he still had consciousness.
He burped and said, "You are foreigners, don't blame me for being verbally verbally or not telling you anything at first. Now you have seen it, and two companions have died one after another. What I want to tell you is, please don't follow up and go back like this. The secret of Insmouth is not something that ordinary people can understand."
"Secret? They killed our two companions like this. We will not leave without understanding this matter." Zhao Qingtian said.
"I won't leave? Then you all will die here. Do you understand? I kindly advise you to leave quickly, and it's still time to leave now." The drunk man took another sip of wine, and that was the last sip.
He turned over the bottom bottle, but nothing was left, so he became a little irritated.
Looking at the drunkard's expression, Zhao Qingtian took out 5 US dollars and handed it to the other party and said, "In this way, I will give you the money for wine, tell me the secret here."
The drunk man first took the money and stared at the three of them, as if he was thinking about whether the secret was worth $5.
Zhao Qingtian took out another 5 US dollars and handed it over.
This time the drunk man grinned and laughed. $5 may not be worth it, but $10 he said it was okay.
"I can be so generous when I see a woman for the first time! This secret is not something I can't help but tell it. It's not good for you to tell it. Even whenever I think of it, the feeling of powerlessness will swallow your thoughts. I don't say it for your own good."
"But you insisted on me to say this, so I will make an exception to tell you and bear the consequences yourself."
The three listened carefully to the drunkard telling the secret about Insmouth.
"50 years ago, Innsmouth was a village that relied on fish to survive. There was no change at that time. Like several nearby villages, everyone also relied on fishing to make a living."
"Gradually, the fish harvest in the sea became less and less. In 10 years, almost no fish was caught here. Several surrounding villages began to reform, but only Insmouth had a fleet suddenly ushered in.
The fleet was a pirate, and the captain was named Jason. He came from the far end of the ocean and landed in Insmouth with the treasures he had caught from the ocean. He and his crew settled in Insmouth and began to develop, entrusting the gold, silver and jewelry in the treasures as tokens.
At first it was just some superstition, but then a miracle happened!
Jason built the Dagon Secretology in Insmouth, which is the current location of the Dagon Secretology. At the beginning, the villagers treated Jason as if he had treasures and money. It was just that Jason's superstitious words said that sacrifices to the gods of the ocean could obtain countless treasures, and not many people believed it.
But since the construction of the church was completed, the people in Insmouth would definitely have a lot of harvest every time they went out to sea to fish. Even if there were no fish caught in the nearby waters, they could always bring boats of fish ashore.
From then on, the residents began to believe in the Dagon Secretology, and they began to worship and sacrifice. At the beginning, they sacrificed their fish to the deep sea, but gradually, the sacrifice changed.
The offering began to turn into boys and girls, followed by adult men or pregnant women! One or two fresh lives are sacrificed to the sea every month! But they are in exchange for countless fish catches!
The Insmouth people began to create golden crowns and sculptures for the gods in the deep sea. They were already crazy about the guidance of the gods in the deep sea. I see that their heads are also beginning to become abnormal, and even... some people are beginning to become less human!"
"I guess you have never heard of the Deep Diver! This is the last destination of the Insmouth people! Because the gods they had started to sacrifice in the past gave them another reward in addition to fish catches!
That is the diving man who suddenly came ashore from the ocean! It was a monster like a mermaid. I can't describe their true appearance, but you can refer to the Insmouth face here. The diving man's appearance is not much cuteer than them!
The Insmouth people who believe in the Dagon Secretology combined with the Deep Diver! They began to mix blood. Since the decades ago, the descendants of the Insmouth people no longer had complete human bloodlines, and they were already hidden the genes of the Deep Diver!
Therefore, the face of Insmouth is not a human feature, it is a unique feature of the deep diving! Among the deep diving people, their king! They are called Dagon, they are a tribe, and Dagon is the leader of the deep diving people, which is also the object of Dagon's worship of the secret religion! They also believe that all this is the holy grace given to them by Dagon!"
"But Dagon and even the Deep Divers did not belong to this place, they lived deeper. The Insmouth people would gradually move towards the Deep Divers' path, and they would return to the water to live and become immortal monsters!
I don't know who their leader was before, but now I can tell you very accurately that Dagon is the pirate leader who came to Insmouth before - Jason!
Finally, he became a deep diving player and the largest deep diving player! With the belief of collective worship in Insmouth, he returned to the deep sea!
And soon, he will return!
The sacrifices are almost done! Continuous sacrifices to the deep sea, even the gods will be moved! Dagon will return again! When he appears, not only Insmouth, but also the nearby cities will suffer from varying degrees.
To be continued...
