Doomsday Harvest of Cthulhu

Chapter 12
When Alan and Wipson first stepped into the hotel lobby, they saw Ren Xingzhi and Scott had been waiting inside for a long time.At this time, Scott was teaching Wood to draw, which seemed to be teaching sketching, while Ren Xingzhi was reading a newspaper.

Seeing the two entering the hall, Scott and Ren Xingzhi went up to meet them, "Is there any danger today?" Ren Xingzhi asked.Allen shook his head, Ren Xingzhi said: "Go to the room first, let's summarize today's information."

Then the four of them went upstairs together and entered Ren Xingzhi's room. Everyone told what they saw and heard today, and then summarized the information.

Ren Xingzhi said: "According to the current situation of Allen and Wibson, those who stole cultural relics should still be in this city, and we will act in a low-key way."

Wipson nodded and said, "Then where should we investigate next?"

Ren Xingzhi said: "I just read the weather summary on the town's weekly report, and from the news you got at the pier, the weather was abnormal when the statue came to the city, and the pier was not allowed to enter and exit. , clearly don’t want others to come in.”

Scott said after hearing this: "No, if you don't want people to come in, then the railways and roads should be destroyed by them. Conversely, if you don't want people to come in, you should do the same. So their purpose is."

"I don't want people to go to sea." Scott and Ren Xingzhi said in unison

Both of them laughed loudly and gave a high five for the tacit understanding between the two sides.

Wipson said after hearing this: "I remembered it. When I went to the pier today, I saw a lighthouse in the distance. That lighthouse seemed to be on a small island."

Ren Xingzhi took out a map and compared it, and there was indeed a small island six to seven nautical miles away from the pier.This small island was mainly used to guide the passing ships in the past, but it has been abandoned now.

Ren Xingzhi looked at it: "It is indeed possible that it is in this place. It seems that we need ships."

Wipson said: "Leave it to me and Allen, tomorrow we will go to the pier to figure out a way."

Ren Xingzhi nodded and said, "Okay, Scott and I will go to the city tomorrow to buy some lighting equipment and first aid equipment for exploration."

Then he turned his head and asked Allen: "What do you think, is there any doubt?"

Allen frowned and said, "No, it's a little bit wrong."

Ren Xingzhi said, "What's wrong? Is it a problem at sea?"

Allen said: "What you just said is fine. I agree very much. It's just that the priest Scott met in the church today is not right."

Scott looked at Allen in surprise and said, "Ah? No way, when I talked to him today, I felt that he was quite kind."

Allen waved his hand and said: "I read in the library at home that the voices you hear are like the ravings of some ancient and terrifying existences, which usually appear in the worship ceremonies of believers. I think that priest is very Bajiu is a person who believes in some horrible creatures, and that Catholic Church should be used as a cover."

Ren Xingzhi said, "Then he is from Dagon's esoteric religion?"

Allen responded: "Those possibilities are not ruled out."

Ren Xingzhi asked Scott to take out the whistle he got today, and the four of them took a closer look to see that there was nothing strange about it, it was just a simple silver whistle.

Allen persuaded Scott and said, "I think it's better for you to throw away this whistle, maybe it will cause some trouble."

Scott thought about it carefully, recalled the state he felt this afternoon and said, "I'll take it first, I think it should be fine."

Everyone saw that Scott was a little persistent and didn't say much. After enjoying the dinner prepared by Haili at night, everyone was ready to rest.When everyone just left the table on the first floor, Ren Xingzhi keenly noticed that the outside was filled with fog.

The four of them walked out of the hotel door, and the thick white fog outside filled the whole world. Allen and Wimpson recalled that the sun had already set when they got off the car, and it seemed that there had been fog since then.

Ren Xingzhi looked at his watch, it was almost eight o'clock now.The outside world is very quiet, it can even be said to be dead silent, just like the night they first came.

Ren Xingzhi asked Hai Li: "Is there no one in this city every night?"

Hai Li replied: "Maybe everyone should rest, after all, no one would go out at night when the fog is so thick, but after thinking about it, there are indeed a lot fewer people at night, even if it is foggy, you can still see people passing by the door. "

The four of them knew at a glance that the night in this city was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface.Ren Xingzhi told Haili to pay attention to safety at night, and then went upstairs to rest.

The four of them chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest. Alan also carefully made a simple entry alarm device for Ren Xingzhi's room.Similar to the kind of water cups connected with ropes, as long as the door is opened, the water cups will be broken, and a sound will be issued to alarm.

Ever since they knew that there were cultists wandering around in this city, the four of them put their knives and guns within reach of their hands when they slept at night.

The hour hand on the clock rotated slowly, and the time gradually entered the night. In fact, if Ren Xingzhi and the others walked out of the hotel to investigate carefully, they would find that the fog became thicker and thicker with the night, and the fog came from If you smell it with your nose, you will find that there is a slight sea smell in the mist.

If there is no accident, there will be an accident.Ren Xingzhi had another dream tonight.This dream was similar to the one I dreamed last night, and it was also in the sea.But this time Ren Xingzhi appeared in front of many creatures with huge protruding eyeballs on their faces and high fins on their backs. He recognized them as deep divers, living in the deep sea and believing in the greatness. Creatures of Cthulhu.

Among this group of creatures, there are two huge creatures, their heads are more than ten times the size of the deep divers.It looks more like a combination of a dragon and a whale. They let out a roar, and countless deep divers swam towards Ren Xingzhi. Ren Xingzhi struggled desperately and swam backwards, but the speed of the deep divers in the water was too fast up.

They dragged Ren Xingzhi into the water, biting Ren Xingzhi with their fangs.Ren Xingzhi felt a piercing pain coming from his arms, thighs, and neck.

He subconsciously cried out in pain, but choked on a mouthful of water. The strong smell of the sea made him cough violently. Just as he was coughing, a familiar voice came from his ear.

"Good guy, are you all right?"

Ren Xingzhi opened his eyes and found that he was lying on the bed, the clothes on his body had already been wet with sweat, and there was still a trace of liquid in the corner of his mouth, exuding a slight sea smell, which was sea water.

Seeing that Ren Xingzhi woke up, Scott smiled and said, "It's a nightmare. I saw you swimming on the bed and struggling again. I thought you wet the bed."

Ren Xingzhi sat up slowly, and said, "Didn't you have a nightmare?"

Scott was already dressed and ready to go out for food. He put his coat on his body and said to Ren Xingzhi, "No, I slept soundly, just like my mother sang me a lullaby when I was a child."

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the room. At this moment, the silver whistle hanging around his neck extinguished the faint light that had lasted all night.
