Doomsday Harvest of Cthulhu

Chapter 7 Imperial City
Armitage said to the crowd: "The informant provided information that this statue was seen on a cargo ship in the port of Impel, and it was being removed from the ship at that time. Pyle City."

Imperial City is a coastal town and a well-known tourist city in the state. The sea fishing industry there is very famous. Some tourists often choose to conduct sea fishing and diving activities in Imperial City.It's about 6 hours by train from Arkham, which isn't too far.

"Are we supposed to find it?" Wibson said.

Armitage nodded and said, "Yes, you just need to find it, and then you tell me the location, and I will send someone to recover the statue." The old man frowned and continued, "Or, destroy it. "

Scott was a little puzzled when he heard it, so he asked Armitage: "Why did you destroy it? It seems that this is a very old statue and has great historical value."

Armitage looked at Scott, took out some notes and handed them to him, saying: "It is indeed very historical, but it is not human history. This statue belongs to R'lyeh."

When Ren Xingzhi heard these three words, thunder exploded in his heart. He knew the city sleeping on the bottom of the South Pacific Ocean.

The other three showed puzzled expressions, obviously they didn't know anything about R'lyeh and everything about R'lyeh.Armitage began to confuse the three of them.

"The city of R'lyeh is a city located under the South Pacific Ocean, and the name of the owner of that city is Cthulhu." When Armitage mentioned the name, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Cthulhu is the lord of Lalaiye, and the city that Ren Xingzhi saw rising from the sea in the universe before is Lalaiye.The name Cthulhu is only based on human pronunciation, and its real pronunciation cannot be pronounced by human body structure, so this is just a similar pronunciation.

Scott asked from the side: "Cthulhu, is it strong? It sounds like a ghoul. I think we still have the power to fight."

Ren Xingzhi looked at Scott suspiciously.I thought to myself: Has he always been so brave?
Armitage looked at Scott seriously and said in a deep voice: "It is now sleeping in R'lyeh, if it is awakened, it will mean the end of the world."

At noon the next day, Arkham City Railway Station.

The four of them boarded the train each with a large travel bag on their backs. The seats of the four were next to each other. When everyone had just packed their luggage and sat down.Then I heard a female voice on the train radio.

"The next stop is the terminal of this train, Imperial City."

It seems that there is no stop in the middle, and the train is full of people going to Impell.Because this season is not the peak tourist season, there are not many people in the car, only about half of the people in one car.

Scott took out a bag of biscuits, and said in a low voice while eating: "Is this Cthulhu really as terrifying as Professor Armitage said, and there is that evil organization called Dagon Esotericism."

Ren Xingzhi took a biscuit from Scott, ate it and said, "This mission is much more dangerous than the last one, so we must be cautious, it's not the same as a ghoul, it just scared us when it appeared last time It was blown to pieces by Allen with a sprayer."

Wipson took over and said, "This Dagon Secret Cult is different. It's a cult organization filled with lunatics and monsters. It's estimated that living people are sacrificed every day. You have to be careful."

Scott nodded solemnly and said, "Xingzhi, I now understand the meaning of the Chinese sentence you said. I am not afraid of ghosts, and ghosts have not hurt me at all. I am not afraid of people, but people hurt me all over my body."

Allen shook his head aside, threw a look at Scott like a fool, then pulled his hat down, leaned on the seat and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Scott was still chatting with Wibson, and said that after returning this time, he would invite everyone to watch a play in his home theater.

Ren Xingzhi leaned his head on the glass and looked at the mountains and grasslands passing by quickly outside the window, recalling Professor Armitage's words in his heart: I suspect that this time it was the purpose of the Dagon Esoteric to steal the statue, perhaps to awaken Cthulhu.Everything must be prepared for the worst. I arranged for other people to follow up on this incident and try to conduct a saturated investigation. You must protect yourselves. "

Ren Xingzhi understood that this might be the introduction to the destruction of the world in 1931, and it turned out that it had already begun to appear at this time.At the beginning, he also wondered why the four of them were sent for such an important matter, but later he realized that many backbones and excellent investigators in the school and organization had been dispatched to various parts of the world to deal with such dangerous incidents.

They were forced to deal with it, so other investigators were sent to Imperial City to assist them quickly after the incident was over.

Ren Xingzhi's thoughts drifted away, his brows were furrowed, and he reflected his own memory in his mind, thinking that this action did not exist in his memory before time travel!
At that time, they just went to a small town with the school people to solve the local deep diver crisis, which was not as dangerous as it is now.So, has everything changed when he travels back?
He carefully mirrored the memories before and after the time travel and gradually accepted the fact that everything has changed and the track of history has been deflected.

The time scale kept beating, and Ren Xingzhi also felt a little drowsy following the shaking of the train, and fell into a deep sleep after a while.

This is a psychedelic dream. In the dream, Ren Xingzhi is walking on an ocean with clear sky and gentle breeze.Suddenly, a long tentacle protruded from the sea, like a boulder falling into the lake, causing violent ripples.

The sea began to be violently windy, and tentacles rushed out of the sea one after another. The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain seemed to pour down, splashing on the sea.

cough cough cough
Both Alan and Ren Xingzhi coughed violently, and Ren Xingzhi even coughed up some water. The strange thing is that Ren Xingzhi could clearly feel a little salty smell from his lungs and mouth.

Scott looked at the two, laughed and said, "You two are really good brothers, you can wake up together when you fall asleep."

Ren Xingzhi wiped his mouth, Allen looked at Scott and said nothing, but said that he seemed to have a strange dream.Just when Ren Xingzhi wanted to ask him what dream he had, the radio rang.

The terminal ahead, Impell, is expected to arrive in 30 minutes. Passengers, please bring your belongings.

Ren Xingzhi was a little surprised at how he had slept for so long. He looked out the window to see the surroundings of this seaside town.As a result, there was a fog outside the window, and the visibility was less than one meter.He asked Wibsen, what's the matter with the weather, why is the fog so thick, isn't it fine when we set off at noon? "

Wipson spread his hands: "I don't know either. I chatted with Scott and it was like this outside the window. It's the seaside. I think it's normal for the weather to be weird."

Ren Xingzhi felt that the matter was not that simple, but he couldn't figure out where the problem was, so he didn't ask any further questions, so he sat in his seat, drank water, and moved his sedentary body a little.

After a while, the train arrived in Impell City, and the four quickly packed their luggage and got off the train.Scott stretched his waist. At this time, the platform was still filled with thick fog.Just when the four of them were about to leave the station through the passage.Ren Xingzhi found a man in a suit and a briefcase in the passage next to him.Although this seaside town is a tourist city, it cannot be said that there are no people who come to work.

But Ren Xingzhi's keen perception discovered one thing, there was a faint wave of magic on the man in the suit.
