Chapter 28 Escape(1/2)
The cold eyes of the Insmouth people were like ghosts crawling out of the wet mud, staring at the players' every move.
The innocent investigators were sacrificed by the deviled villagers and drove them crazy. The giant hands of the gods and demons were wrapping up Insmouth, and the faint sense of suffocation gradually increased as the secret was dug deeper.
Even if the game is not affected by death, death will be transmitted from the dungeon, but the fear of death is instinctively, which is indelible to the unknown.
After all, people have never died, and death is the most terrifying thing that is consistent and palpitations!
Having seen the local folk customs and the hospitality of Dagon's Secretology, Zhao Qingtian, uncle and Liston returned to the hotel together. At this time, it was estimated that his two crazy teammates should have woken up long ago.
"I hope they can get back to normal."
Liston pushed open the door, but found that the two teammates had indeed woken up.
As soon as he opened the door, the soft whisper inside began to turn into a fierce howl. Chen Qiang and his calm and leisurely danced on the spot, looking at the sky and making divination.
He calmed down and shouted in horror: "Don't open the door! Don't open the door! The diving player is coming! Dagon will summon us! We will all dive into the deep sea!"
I don’t know if I have read Liston’s book, but I feel more crazy than Chen Qiang.
Zhao Qingtian looked embarrassed. They thought the symptoms of madness would only last for most of the day, but now it is approaching evening and the two crazy teammates still show no sign of recovery.
"Why don't we wait for the little genius to come back? Maybe he can cure it?"
"Can this be cured?" the uncle was puzzled.
"Have you never heard of becoming a doctor after a long illness? Maybe there is a way?" Zhao Qingtian had no choice.
After two days in Insmouth, there were only four normal people left to play games. Among them, Xu Bai and she were still from the mental hospital. Strictly speaking...
Only Liston and Uncle are normal people.
Liston's plan was tonight, while the villagers were all resting, to sneak into the church to find clues about the sacrifice of Dagon and ways to prevent the tide from coming.
Regarding the strange footsteps at night, it is not for the teammates to be unfaithful. They discussed it in front of the two madmen, and the crazy teammates acted as bait in the room because they had no value at all.
Liston, who did not continue to stay in the hotel, stood in the woods outside the church and monitored the situation outside from 7 p.m.
On the way, you can also see Xu Bai appearing everywhere, constantly observing the shape of his "magic array". What's amazing is that the residents here did not stop him from graffiti.
The crescent moon climbed into the sky again. I don’t know if the moonlight this time was an illusion or reality, but Liston always felt that something was wrong today’s atmosphere.
"The fog at night seems to be getting worse and worse. This time, even the moonlight seemed to be weakened by a layer of paper. Only scattered silver light spots did not light up the streets here."
"It's only been around 8 o'clock, and there is no one here?"
Xu Bai was the last one to disappear from the street. After returning to the hotel, the entire Insmouth seemed like a dead city. No wonder he was in the hotel usually, and after nightfall, he could not hear any movement outside.
There is no ghost at all!
Seeing this, Liston walked out of the woods. The church was located on the edge of the town, so if something happened, the path to run out was very wide.
Approaching the church door, pushing open the outermost wooden fence, there is a wooden door locked from the inside.
He found that this was not the kind of wooden door that could rely on lock-picking, but the kind of door that could lower the barrier from the inside bolt, so he could only walk around the church again.
Apart from the obvious holes on the top bell tower on the church, the church is like an iron fortress, and no gaps can be found to dive in.
But even the bell tower is only as high as three floors, and it is the highest among Insmouth, which is full of low-rise houses.
"I still have a chance. As long as I find a ladder, maybe there is no need for a ladder, just a long, stable object, and I can climb up."
Liston looked at the nearby props and was trying to enter the church.
After hearing Zhao Qingtian’s story about Dagon, Xu Bai said, “This is because we died and both players did not find clues. Can’t you continue to watch the game?”
He didn't know much about Dagon, but when he read the Book of the Necrotic on the first day, the records about Cthulhu above were annotated by Dagon, the Deep Diver, and a creature called Hydra, and their connection.
When I saw the golden crown of the Dagon esoteric religion at the History Exhibition Hall in Newpolibet, I also found the same golden crown in Insmouth, which gave him a great reminder.
The secrets of the Book of Dead are recorded in many unimaginable secrets and knowledge, such as the previous lord of the sect, which is only one of the many ancient gods.
The word Dagon frequently appears in the records about Cthulhu, but it is only taken over by hastily, and more describes Cthulhu itself. However, the damaged pages are not completely read, and most of them are just very vague introductions and intermittent understanding is incomplete.
"Wait, my plan will be fine tomorrow. Today I have just arranged everything. I will be exhausted these two days."
Xu Bai was yawning, and he didn't seem to worry about Dagon's arrival and his teammates being sacrificed.
Zhao Qingtian didn't know what kind of Dali Jingang Pills sold in this gourd, and he could even ignore them even if he died and was crazy.
After thinking these days, Zhao Qingtian scratched her neck with a red mark. For clues, she had thought about implementing yesterday's plan today and raiding the footsteps of the night party.
But the fate of the three people yesterday was seen in their eyes. Reason told her to act cautiously. It is very likely that as Xu Bai expected, the things outside were not human at all!
Half an hour later, Xu Bai fell asleep peacefully. He was relieved to have an uncle guarding the room. He was so strong that he was almost described as a tiger's back and bear's waist. One punch would definitely kill Xu Bai's fist like half a life, which looked very powerful!
Time passed without realizing it. Whenever 12 o'clock at night, the footsteps, which were wet and slippery, would always come as scheduled.
Tat!
Tattata!
This time it was a little different, and the footsteps were much more frequent this time than last time.
Tattata--
Tatta--
The dense footsteps shocked Zhao Qingtian, and Xu Bai also woke up instantly, staring at the door with sharp eyes.
His experience of often escaping from mental hospitals in the past allowed him to practice listening to sounds and identifying positions. Just listening to footsteps, he could analyze how many people there were outside, where he was, and even his walking posture could be judged at a rough estimate, including their most likely perspective of sight.
"Listen to the footsteps, there must be no less than 5 people." He said, jumping out of bed without saying a word and starting to push the wardrobe in the room.
"Uncle, help!"
The uncle nodded. He felt that it was not good after his sixth sense, so he pushed the wardrobe together and quickly put it on the door.
The footsteps outside heard the movement inside, and the footsteps were faster, and they began to slap their door without saying a word.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
At first, I just knocked on the door calmly and didn't say much, but at the back, the knocking sound became more and more intense. The guy outside became impatient and began to slap, kick, and then hit!
The dense hits hit the fragile wooden door, and the few people could still hear the sounds outside. It was no longer human words, like monsters whispering and roaring!
They were eager to break open the door, and the wooden door was quickly pierced through several holes, and the palms that were pierced from the pierced were no longer like humans.
The back of the hands was covered with fish scales, the nails were sharp and slender, and wood chips were embedded inside. They waved desperately in the air. The power was so great that even the wardrobe blocking the door was constantly vibrating.
"What is this!" Zhao Qingtian exclaimed, but soon came to his senses and followed Xu Bai's movements and pushed the bed towards the door.
"Ahhhhhh!"
"Dedicated to the King of the Deep Sea! You will obey the call of the Deep Sea! You cannot escape! You cannot escape!"
There were more than one strange hand waving, but more and more in the constant muffled sound, and then two, three people, and even half a shadow's head was about to emerge!
"They don't plan to capture us one by one this time, but instead want to take us all."
Xu Bai said, and he pulled off the velvet curtain in front of the window, and then took off the curtains. The monsters outside were fighting desperately, but this did not panic.
He tied the curtains and curtains together, and then violently removed the iron pipe with the curtains with the uncle. The hook of the curtains could be buckled on the iron pipe, and the iron pipes were horizontally bared at both ends of the windows and subjected to stress.
The curtains and curtains are added together and when placed in the window, they are just enough to reach the ground.
"You have the lightest weight, you go first!" Xu Bai urged Zhao Qingtian to go down first. Zhao Qingtian did not hesitate at all, and slowly lowered as he grabbed the tied fabric.
Zhao Qingtian skillfully held the curtains, stepped on the wall with his feet, and slowly fell down towards the ground with his back. The process was very easy.
After Zhao Qingtian landed safely, Uncle Xu Baichao said, "Uncle is you. You are heavier than me. I will pull it first, otherwise this button will be disconnected!"
The uncle was not pretentious, so he climbed up the window, and then slowly fell down by the curtain. Xu Bai's hands beside the window were bulging with blue veins. He gritted his teeth desperately, holding the front end of the curtain tightly, so that the hook would not bear too much power.
The height of the second floor is not high, but it is very likely that the accident will occur if you jump down directly.
Bang!
When both of them landed, the door was knocked open by a huge force, and the wardrobe and bed were moved to a free space, and the guys outside instantly flocked to him.
Those who sharpen their heads are about to get in. Those Insmouth people who are going to take their lives can no longer speak human words. They are all gasping and barking that makes people scalp tingle!
Some of them are Insmouth residents, who have met several times in the town. The freaks who are usually dull are now like crazy and have lost their minds!
Behind these people, there were fish faces, fish fins growing in the back, arms, back of the head, etc., with tall monsters with dark blue to green and black skin, and their eyes were staring at themselves without emotion.
At this moment, Xu Bai finally realized the secret of Insmouth with his own eyes!
The other two days ago, people disappeared inexplicably, causing the other two to fall into a crazy weird creature. It was this huge humanoid creature - the Deep Diver!
Fortunately, the α-level players are immune to this. When they see the deep dive, the system tells them that they are immune to this rational deduction.
Xu Bai jumped down the window quickly and slid down the curtains. At less than 3 meters above the ground, the curtains broke. He rolled over and rolled, stood up perfectly, and looked back at this terrifying cannibal hotel.
The three of them were just escaping from the ominous place, and a game notification appeared in their sight.
[The player is calm and dead]
[Player Chen Qiang is dead]
"They actually started killing people directly!" Zhao Qingtian said in disbelief.
Fortunately, they ran fast, otherwise they would have been killed today.
"This may be proof that it may be that the summoning Dagon is close by, leaving us with little time."
