Doomsday Harvest of Cthulhu

Chapter 10 The Universal Church
Everyone who had breakfast planned to go to the weapon shop in the city to have a look. After all, I just learned that the city of Impell is not as safe as it seems on the surface.

Everyone planned to walk to Central Square Avenue to see if there was a weapon shop.The distance is not very far, and it takes about 20 minutes to arrive. As soon as you walk into this commercial street, you can feel a completely different feeling from when you came here at night.

Although it cannot be said that it is full of people, there are still many people wandering in the store.After searching for a little while, everyone found the destination of the trip. Next to a shop selling diving equipment, there was a facade twice the size of other shops. The photo on it was written in beautiful artistic words "Dre Gram Arms Shop"

The four of them opened the door and walked in. The sales counter was right in front of the door. Behind the sales counter were all kinds of pistols with various calibers: .22 revolvers, .45 revolvers, 9mm Luger P08 pistols, etc. wait.There are formatted knives, bows and arrows, and protective equipment hanging on the walls on both sides.

These guns were neatly arranged on the wall. Behind the counter, an uncle wearing a cowboy hat and leather jacket stood up and greeted everyone warmly: "Hey! Young lads, which one do you like! "

Allen came here as if he had returned home, his eyes moved back and forth among these firearms, as if trying to find the one that suited him best.He walked to the counter and said to the uncle: "Boss, I think you are all pistols, do you have any big ones?"

The boss looked at Allen, and said vigilantly: "Oh? Isn't the pistol not enough? Why do you want to punish the big guy?"

Wipson stepped forward at this time, put his arms around Allen and said with a smile: "Boss, we brothers originally wanted to go fishing in the sea, but we wanted to come hunting because of the bad weather, so we wanted to order shotguns."

Allen nodded in agreement, but the boss didn't ask. Although Impac is a seaside town, there is a forest next to the east of the town, and some residents in the town live by hunting.

The boss took out two shotguns from under the sales table, one was a 20-gauge double-barreled shotgun, and the other was a 16-gauge double-barreled shotgun.The boss pointed to the 20-gauge double-barreled shotgun on the left and said, "This one is $45, and the other is $60."

Allen said, "Two 16-gauge double-barreled shotguns, then, and sixty rounds."

Wipson turned around and asked Ren Xingzhi and Scott, "Don't you two buy one?"

Ren Xingzhi looked at the sword on the wall and said, "Let me take a look at the sword. I don't need it if I'm not sure."

Scott said that he didn't like to use these knives and guns very much, and said with a playful smile that it was enough for Wibson and the others to protect him.But in the end, he couldn't hold back Wibson, and bought a .22 revolver for self-defense.

In the end, Ren Xingzhi bought a sword similar to the Tang Dao. Although it was not as easy to use as the Tang Dao, it was better because it was slightly smaller and could be easily hidden under the windbreaker.

It was already noon when everyone finished buying weapons, so they found a fast food restaurant next to the commercial street and ate. While waiting for the meal, Ren Xingzhi bought four maps of the city from the newspaper shop on the street, and everyone ate while eating. Look for places to look for pointed surveys.

Scott pointed to a coastline on the map and said: "It should be here, the place where Kid Wood said he saw someone committing a crime."

The beach is next to a forest, and there are only two routes to enter the beach: either enter from the forest, or go along the beach from the iron anchor pier.Scott said: "Since Wood didn't bump into those people when he was playing in the forest, they should have passed through the Iron Anchor Pier. I want to go to the Iron Anchor Pier to have a look."

Ren Xingzhi said: "It makes sense, but if the enemy comes from there, I'm afraid there will be enemies gathering there, why don't Wepson and Allen go, they are skilled enough to deal with whatever happens. "

Scott nodded and said nothing, and Allen and Wibson also agreed.After that, Ren Xingzhi pointed to the map and said, "Scott, follow me here, Universal Salvation Church."

Ren Xingzhi and Scott were sitting on the tram and whispering. "The statue is in the church. This matter is a bit too open and aboveboard. I don't think it's reasonable." Scott said in a low voice
Ren Xingzhi replied: "I'm just saying it's possible, and if you look at the rituals performed by the cultists in those horror novels, this kind of church has a higher appearance rate."

Just as the two of them were whispering, the tram arrived at the stop.After one stop, you can see a church not far away. There are not many pedestrians on the road, maybe the location of the church is relatively remote.

The two of them arrived in front of the church not long after they walked. From the appearance of this church, it can only be said to be a small church, and the outer wall is also a little dilapidated. It seems that it has not been renovated for a long time.Ren Xingzhi murmured in his heart: It seems that this incense is not very good.

The two pushed the door in. The decoration inside is very simple. Two rows of wooden benches should be used for prayer. The opposite is a reading table, and there is a confession room in the corner. This is a Catholic church. .

There was an old man on the reading table, who seemed to be about 60 years old.He was flipping through the Bible in his hand, but he ignored the two of them.Ren Xingzhi looked at Scott and nodded, and Scott stepped forward and started talking to the old man, while Ren Xingzhi scouted around the church.

"Hello, Father, what's your name?" Scott stood in front of the first row of benches and asked the old man on the reading table.

The old man closed the Bible, walked up to Scott and said, "Sir, my name is Lynn."

"Dear Father Lynn, may I ask you a few questions?" Scott said.

Scott is not a Catholic, his parents are devout Catholics, but because he is relatively rebellious, he does not believe in religion, but some knowledge about Catholicism at home is also engraved in his mind.

Lynn agreed, "Of course, sir." Scott then asked a few tricky questions from the Catholic Bible, and the old man answered them all calmly.

At this time, Ren Xingzhi, who had finished the investigation, looked at the two people who were talking. When he met Scott's eyes, Ren Xingzhi shook his head and said that there were no statues or strange places in this church.

After Lynn answered all of Scott's questions, Ren Xingzhi just came over.The old man asked the two, "Are the two gentlemen here to pray?"

Ren Xingzhi bowed slightly to apologize and said, "Sorry, I'm an atheist."

Lynn smiled and said, "It's okay."

Scott said on the side: "My parents are Catholics, but I am not religious, sorry, dear Mr. Lynn."

Lin En was a little surprised, so he asked, "Why?"

Scott's answer was also very simple and clear. He said: "Please forgive my offense. I felt that when I was confused and prayed when I was a child, I didn't hear the Lord's answer, so I felt that the Lord didn't need me."

Lynn heard this and said with a smile: "The Lord does not need you, it is you who need the Lord. Only when you have a strong belief in the Lord in your heart, the Lord will help you when you are in trouble. You might as well pray again, regardless of whether the Lord responds or not." , Try to be pious and full of faith in the Lord." After he finished speaking, he looked at Ren Xingzhi: "This gentleman might as well try."
