Doomsday Harvest of Cthulhu

Chapter 11 The Sailor's Bar
Scott and Ren Xingzhi looked at each other, and felt that they were all here, and it was okay to pray.Ren Xingzhi felt that anyway, based on his personality, he believed in what and what he needed to believe.

It’s like asking for auspiciousness during the Chinese New Year and believing in the God of Wealth. When a family is about to have a child, they believe in Guanyin. If there is an emergency, it’s useless to say that the king of heaven is here. .

Ren Xingzhi sat on the bench, prayed with his hands, and silently prayed in his heart that this task could be completed smoothly and everyone could return to school safely.

Seeing Ren Xingzhi's appearance, Scott sat down as well. He closed his eyes and did not meditate in his mind what he had prayed when he was a child.

He muttered in his heart: "If there is a Lord, I hope the great Lord can protect my companions and save them from fire and water when they are in danger. If there is a Lord."

Just as he was meditating in his heart, a melodious and cheerful voice came from his ear, no, it should be said that it came from his mind.For a while, the voice sounded like a gentle woman laughing, for a while it was like a calm man speaking some incomprehensible language with a magnetic and secure voice, and for a while it was extremely harsh. Screaming, but this screaming did not make Scott feel uncomfortable at all.

Gradually, the sound gradually becomes smaller until it disappears.Scott slowly opened his eyes as if waking up from a dream. He looked around. Ren Xingzhi was still praying, and Lynn was still looking at him as he was just standing holding the Bible.

At this time, Ren Xingzhi also opened his eyes, and Scott quickly asked Ren Xingzhi, "Did you hear any strange sounds, just laughing and screaming?"

Ren Xingzhi looked at him with some doubts: "Ah? No, I opened my eyes after silently saying a few words in my heart, but I didn't hear anything." At this time, Pastor Lynn looked at Scott and said Sentence: "Sir, it seems that you heard something."

Scott looked at the priest with a smile on his face, and told him the voice he had just heard.The priest smiled and said, "It seems that your prayer just now was very devout."

Ren Xingzhi saw that there was nothing worth staying here, so he prepared to leave here with Scott. Just as they were about to leave, the priest called Scott and gave him a rope hanging on a rope. The silver whistle said: "You have a destiny with the Lord."

Scott looked at the priest in front of him, hesitated for a moment, took the whistle and put it in his pocket.Two or three hours had passed by the time the two came out, mainly because the church was far away.

The two were going back to the hotel to wait for Alan and Wepson, because they had made a reservation in advance to meet at the hotel at [-]:[-] p.m.

Before Ren Xingzhi and Scott arrived at the church, Allen and Wepson had already arrived at the Anchor Wharf. The wharf was very large, and there were many boats of different sizes parked on the sea, which seemed to include both fishing boats and cargo ships.

Although the offshore area looks calm and calm, there will be strong winds and heavy rains in the open sea from time to time. It is said that it is caused by the passing of a typhoon. It will take about half a month for the typhoon to completely leave here before the pier will release ships to sea.

Allen and Wibson walked into the dock, and Allen said to Wibson: "Why don't we go to the unloading workers at the dock first to see if they have seen the statue."

Wipsen nodded in agreement, and the two went to the terminal office to ask if there were any unloading workers.A young man in the office was lying on the table and playing with the compass in his hand. He looked up at the two people in front of him who were carrying a big bag and wearing a coat, and said lazily: "The group of stinky ghosts are probably at the bar. Find them yourself." Let's go." Then he continued to lie down on the table and play with the compass.

Seeing this, Allen took out two dollars from his pocket and threw them on the table.When the young man saw the banknote, he picked it up, touched the paper with his hands to verify the authenticity, and after confirming that it was genuine, he immediately stuffed the banknote into his pocket, stood up and said with a flattering smile: " If the two bosses have anything else, I will definitely help you."

Wipsen looked at the person in front of him and said, "Where do the unloading workers usually drink?"

The young man said: "There are several bars in our pier, but the sailor's bar has the cheapest alcohol, and the unloading workers usually drink there."

Vipson said in a deep voice, "Then please take us there."

The young man immediately came out of the office and led the two of them along a road to the front."How long has this boat been here?" Wibson asked.

The young man replied: "It must have been a month. The weather started to get bad a month ago. For safety, merchant ships are not allowed to go to sea at the dock."

Allen asked after hearing this: "What about the merchant ship that came here before?"

"It's all here now. A dozen or so cargo ships can't return. Those foreign sailors just drink in the sailor's bar every day and cause a lot of trouble." The young man said.

Allen lowered his voice and said to Wibson: "In this case, those who brought the statue are here too, we have to be careful." Wibson nodded.

The three of them walked to the entrance of the Sailor Bar in about 5 minutes. This bar is by the sea, and it is quite large. From the outside, it can accommodate 80 to [-] people. There is also a viewing platform at the entrance of the bar, which is used to watch the sunset, which is okay. See the lighthouse on the island in the distance.

The young man rubbed his hands with a smile and said to the two, "If you need any help, just ask him." Then he left.

Wepson and Alan were just about to go in when there was a thud when a half-drunk man was thrown out of it. A bartender-looking man at the door said in a sarcastic tone: "If you don't have money, go move the boxes." Go, don't drink other people's wine here."

The half-drunk man on the ground stood up staggeringly, walked to a chair not far away and lay down on the chair without saying anything, as if he was going to sleep on the spot.

Seeing this, Wipson said, "Alan, let's go buy some wine and see if we can get something out of his mouth."

Afterwards, the two entered the Sailor's Bar. The bar was filled with an unpleasant smell, which was probably the smell of sweat, alcohol and some unknown smells.It was full of people, all of whom were wearing sailor costumes, drinking wine and yelling indistinctly.

The two walked to the bar, ordered a bottle of tequila, and walked out of the bar quickly, holding their noses.

Wipson took the wine and walked to the chair and said, "My friend, I want to ask you something."The bottle of wine is yours in return. "

After the drunk man heard it, he immediately sat up and agreed.Wibson then asked: "Have you moved any large stone objects in the past month?" To be on the safe side, Wibson didn't say anything like statues.

The man waved his hand in annoyance after hearing this: "How can there be any work this month? The boats don't even come in."

He hiccupped and continued: "But when it comes to rocks, it seems that a group of sailors were moved out of the boat a month ago. My brothers and I wanted to go up to ask if there was any work, and we were kicked. Let's go, it's bad luck."

Vipson's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he continued to ask: "Do you know where they moved this thing?"

The man scratched his head and said, "I don't know, that group of people are mysterious, and the boat is also rented by the terminal shipping company, and they returned the boat after moving the things."

Wipson handed the wine to the man, pulled Alan and said, "The clue is broken. What should I say next, go to the shipping company to see the ship?"

Allen said: "Maybe it was transported to the city. With their cautious character, they will not leave traces on the ship. There is no need to check the ship. Go back and discuss with them before making any plans."

Wibson agreed, and the two boarded a train back to their hotel.
