Doomsday Harvest of Cthulhu

Chapter 27 Silver Robe
While Ren Xingzhi and his team were discussing tactical plans in the dark passage, Scott and Father Lynn were being controlled by a group of unknown people in the room.

Everyone listened quietly to the sound of footsteps outside the door gradually going away, and Scott's hand that was covering his mouth was slowly let go.

Scott pushed back a few steps, leaned against the wall and said, "Ahem, who are you?" The slight suffocation just now made Scott cough a few times.Father Lynn stood beside Scott, with the knuckles already on his hands.

The four people in front of them were all wearing silver robes and stood in a row. Through the light, they could see the faces hidden under the hoods, and they were covered with face scarves. It seemed that these people didn't want people to know their real faces.

"Don't ask us where we came from. If you don't ask us, we won't ask you. Our purpose is the same. We are just waiting for our people to come and gather six people." The man at the head said indifferently.

"Then why did you save us?" Scott asked suspiciously.

"It's just that I don't want to provoke the patrolling deep divers, which will only increase the number of variables." The man took out two silver robes from his backpack and threw them to Scott and Father Lynn. "Put it on and follow us later."

"Where are you going?" Scott asked, obviously on guard.

"Go to the statue," said the man.

There is no better way now, not to mention finding the statue is what Scott wants, so the two plan to follow them to the statue first, and then look at the situation.

The silver robe was very large, and the two of them put it on easily. Then six people walked out of the room. Scott and Father Lynn were in the middle of the team. Obviously, these four people were guarding against them.

Along the way, the leading man shuttled skillfully at every fork in the road, as if he had walked through it many times before.

After more than ten minutes, the two were led to the end of a passage. Outside the end was a hemispherical space with a wide interior space. The height was about 50 meters, and the front and rear of the space were more than [-] meters.

In the very center of the space, there is a statue, surrounded by a circle of kneeling deep divers, singing in an incomprehensible language together.In other places, there are many deep divers and humans patrolling here.

Scott stood at the exit on the wall of this space. The place where they came out was not the ground where Ren Xingzhi and the others walked.

But on the wall of this hemispherical space, there are more than a dozen such holes on the wall, and there are already people in silver robes standing there in two or three holes.

Some of the deep divers and black-robed humans below have noticed the person in the silver robe at the entrance of the cave, but they didn't care, just patrolling below.

The man said: "You can leave now, it doesn't matter if you stay here, but if you destroy our affairs, I don't mind letting you disappear in this world."

"Are you going to protect the statue?" Scott asked.

After the man heard it, he chuckled and said, "Protection? Ridiculous."

When Scott heard the man say this, he could clearly feel the disdain and contempt in the man's words. This emotion was not feigned. It seemed that the man should have come to fight against the deep divers just like them.

Just when Scott was about to go down, a gunshot sounded from a passage below!
Following the sound, eight people rushed out of a hole. Some were holding long knives and some were holding shotguns. In an instant, a dozen or so deep divers approaching the hole fell down like cutting wheat.

Taking advantage of the gap between Allen, Wepson and others changing bullets, except for two deep divers left at each hole to prevent anyone from sneaking in, the rest of the deep divers and humans rushed towards Ren Xingzhi and them from all directions. come over.

Ren Xingzhi put away the shotgun, took out a long knife together with two sailors, and stood in front together with Britt and Zoe.

Scott looked at the people fighting together below, and walked anxiously around the entrance of the cave, thinking about how to help them.

At this time, the silver-robed man said: "The actors are all here, let's start."

After all, he took out a bunch of animal carcasses from nowhere and threw them on the ground, as did the other three. Those animal carcasses were fresh, some were rotten, some were seagulls, some were hedgehogs, and even some were foxes.

They died tragically, with many cuts on their bodies, and it was even possible to see from the faces of those animals that they seemed to have suffered some kind of torture before they died, and fresh blood flowed from the wounds on the ground.

The four men in silver robes spread their hands upwards and began to read something. Scott wanted to hear what they were saying, but it was in a language he couldn't understand.

I saw the caves on the surrounding walls, there were already seven or eight holes, and there were people in silver robes standing there. There were more or less people, there were six more, and only one less. The four silver-robed men moved in the same way.

Scott understood that the corpses at their feet were used for sacrifice, and the chanting should be to guide some kind of powerful magic.The stronger the effect, the longer the casting time of the more destructive spell and the more people it needs.

Scott didn't understand their purpose. He looked worriedly at the silver-robed man with his back facing him and said, "Tell me your purpose, otherwise I won't promise to destroy your business."

The silver-robed man stopped singing, turned around, walked up to Scott and said calmly: "For the sake of Wilmas, I will give you a chance. If you do this again next time, I will throw you in the Feed the deep divers in the sea."

When Scott heard Wilmas's name, his mind went crazy, and it rang in his ears like thunder.

"How did he know that I knew Wilmas? How did Wilmas get involved with these wizards? Although I don't know who they are, they definitely seem to be from the wizarding faction." Scott was very puzzled. .

The man saw the doubt on Scott's face, chuckled and said: "I just exchanged interests with him. In view of the fact that we have cooperated many times, I can only ask one question. oh,"

Scott pondered for a while and said, "Tell me the purpose of your trip."
