Doomsday Harvest of Cthulhu

Chapter 24 Infiltrate
Ren Xingzhi and Allen were sitting under the shade of a tree and discussing.

Ren Xingzhi said: "I also agree with your point of view. It is too conspicuous to put it on the bright side. It should also be an underground structure."

Allen continued: "I'm going to take a look at the lighthouse, after all, it's the only building on the island."

Ren Xingzhi said: "Let's go together, don't act separately, don't give the enemy a chance to attack one by one."

After finishing speaking, the two stood up and patted the dirt on their buttocks, and told everyone about the plan they had just discussed.Everyone had no other opinions, so they started to go to the lighthouse.

The lighthouse is not too far from where everyone landed on the island, and they arrived after a short walk. What surprised everyone was that they didn't hear any movement along the way.

Seagulls, birds, and even shellfish on the beach, like other small islands, did not appear, which made everyone shudder.

Walking into the lighthouse, the lighthouse is about 25 meters high. Its surface is covered with scars, and some places have cracks. It seems that it has been abandoned for a long time.

The door was not locked, and the rusty iron door opened with a squeaking sound of metal friction when Ren Xingzhi pushed it.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a huge pillar in the middle, with a diameter of more than three meters. It seems to be a load-bearing pillar used to support the entire lighthouse.The walls of the lighthouse are inlaid with spiral staircases.

The power supply inside the lighthouse has been out of use for a long time, and everyone can only turn on the flashlight and go up the stairs.

Da da da.The sound of people's footsteps echoed inside the empty lighthouse, and the stairs came to the end after a while, and a platform structure was in sight.

The huge load-bearing column supports this platform structure, and the end of the stairs is the place leading to this platform structure.

Everyone climbed up the stairs one after another. There are many mirrors here. Although some of them are broken, they can clearly see the surrounding sea area.

The road has come to an end here, and it seems that there is no other way.Allen said suddenly: "Look, there are footprints here."

Ren Xingzhi, Wipsen and others leaned over to take a look, and found that there were several incomplete footprints with mud attached to the platform, which should be traces left by someone who walked through the mud and then came up.

Ren Xingzhi thought carefully: This means that someone has been here, so where is the entrance?
At this moment, Scott carefully searched around, and Ren Xingzhi asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"

Scott knocked on the wall and said, "Looking for a mechanism, maybe it's just like the book says, once you press it, a passage will come out."

Ren Xingzhi seemed to have been inspired by something, and began to knock on the ground until he hit the top of the huge load-bearing column, and the gunstock and the ground made a hollow echo.

Logically speaking, the load-bearing columns should be solid, and when knocked on the ground of the platform, there should be hollow echoes in other places, but this load-bearing column should not have this echo.

When he first realized that abnormalities must have demons, Ren Xingzhi called everyone over and knocked open the floor above the load-bearing column with his knives. Sure enough, the bottom was empty, and there was also a spiral staircase on the wall of the load-bearing column.

Ren Xingzhi smiled and said, "Sure enough, if there are no accidents, the following should be the territory of the Dagon Esotericists."

Arias said: "Be careful this time. There are probably a lot of deep divers below. This operation is very dangerous. I hope you can help me."

Ren Xingzhi said: "How to help you, just ask."

Arias opened his briefcase, revealing a pack of explosives for engineering blasting. He closed the bag and said, "The explosives inside were modified by Wilmas, enough to blow up the statue into powder." , just triple-click the button on the briefcase to activate."

After he finished speaking, he showed a button on the handle of the briefcase, and then said: "You just need to help me and send me to the statue."

Everyone looked at the look of death on his face, and respectfully said: "We will definitely do our best."

Ren Xingzhi took out his flashlight and said, "Then let's go, hurry up."

Everyone nodded, took out their weapons and followed Ren Xingzhi all the way down.The journey going down is obviously much longer than the one going up. I don't know if it's because of caution or because of the deep underground structure.

Finally, everyone went down the stairs and arrived at a cave passage, which was very similar to the underground cave passage under the city of Impell.

Everyone stepped lightly, and slowly explored forward.After a while, they found a bright light in front of the passage on the left. When they walked to the entrance of the passage, they found a large arched space in front of them.

There are many passages leading here from all directions, and some deep divers walked out from the left passage, and then walked into the right passage.It looks like this is a place similar to a crossroads, a transportation hub.

After observing here for a while, Ren Xingzhi found that whether it was deep divers, Dagon esoteric people in black robes, or some people in plain clothes whose origins were unknown, they were all in teams of six.

Just now, when a team of four humans and three deep divers walked out of the passage, they all stayed in the center of this space. After the two teams communicated, they formed a team of six The team walked through a passage.

One human was left to wait in place, and left after gathering six people.

Ren Xingzhi decided to lead the five people to leave here to explore elsewhere, otherwise it would be impossible to move here.

There are now eight members in Ren Xingzhi's team. After a little discussion, they made a decision. Scott and Father Lynn stayed to make plans. Ren Xingzhi and Alan led Arias to find the statue as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Ren Xingzhi told Scott: "Be careful. If it doesn't work, you can return to the lighthouse and wait for us. If you can't wait, you can find a way to leave."

Scott also said: "Don't worry, you are also careful, don't get caught." Seeing Ren Xingzhi and his party successfully passed through this space and entered another passage, Scott's heart was hanging. He also put it down, and said, "If it wasn't for the lack of a boat, I would go back now."

Father Lynn patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the Lord will protect us."

Scott said to Father Lynn: "Then let's go to the passage on the right just now and see if there is any other way."

Father Lynn nodded, followed Scott back to the passage, and went to explore the hole on the right.

In order not to be discovered as much as possible, Ren Xingzhi and his group walked into a passage where deep divers and Dagon esoteric people entered relatively few passages, and passed by a group of six deep divers along the way. Not found.Bruce still wanted to attack at the time, but he endured it out of overall consideration.

At this time, two people in silver robes appeared in front of them, with a few strands of gold thread on the sleeves of the robes, forming a symbol.The two of them stood in front of an iron gate.

Just as Ren Xingzhi and his group approached, the person on the left shouted, "Get out of here!"

Ren Xingzhi also stopped immediately, he didn't want to make trouble here, so he turned around and left.

Seeing Ren Xingzhi and the others leave, the two didn't make any movement, and continued to stand there quietly.

On the way to leave, Ren Xingzhi heard Alan in the team, and said in surprise: "The gatekeeper of Silver Twilight?"
