Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 33 Deep diver

Amanda was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect the professor's student to know his life experience so quickly.

Although he himself doesn't care about these life experiences, he thinks that he is just an ordinary person.

"I remember that as a professor of the college, there seems to be a quota for special students. If Professor Abtis intends to recruit me, I would be happy to talk to you about related matters. But now, I have to care about my colleagues last night. The monsters we met. Those things are very dangerous."

Amanda unhurriedly pointed to the patrol uniform she was wearing, although because of her current physical age, no one would take her seriously.

Qi Wen smiled, his face full of the confidence of a genius academic master:
"Those monsters last night were Deep Divers. They were the servants of a legendary sea monster called Dagon. I can tell you more information about those monsters, which is enough for you to use against those disgusting Deep Divers. That’s right. But you have to come with me.”

Amanda looked a little unkind. What did this guy do? Why is he running towards her like this? Could it be that he has some secrets in his body?
Raleye, how mysterious is the bloodline on that island?

At this time, Pearson, who noticed this, came over, stood in front of Amanda, stared at Qi Wen closely, and said:

"Sorry sir, we cannot accommodate your needs without Mr. Black's instructions."

Qi Wen didn't care about Pearson's obstruction, walked in and said:
"Okay, okay, then I'll follow you. Anyway, the academy sent us here to deal with these monsters that you can't deal with, Amanda,"

Pearson kept his stiff face. In fact, Amanda knew that this was the aura that Pearson was trying to pretend. For a moment, she didn't know how to change her expression, so she had to maintain it.

Amanda said: "And what you just said about the deep divers and Dagon. If the academy knew the details of these monsters from the beginning, then why didn't it tell us directly."

Qi Wen followed Pearson and said, "Let's go first and see those people who were attacked last night. I'll tell you on the way."

Along the way, Qi Wen briefly described some of these monsters called deep divers. By the way, he also revealed that he knew that the monster that Pearson and the others had seen attacking the local indigenous female tribe on R'lye Island was the deep diver. Diver.

The so-called deep divers are monsters who lived around the world in the form of humans during their childhood and youth. When the youth is about to mature, they will be inspired to go to a city called Innsmouth to seek transformation.

There is the largest population of deep diver bloodlines there.

When they mature from adolescence, inhuman characteristics will appear from their bodies, gradually changing into a fish-man monster-like posture.

Before that, these deep divers could still give birth to temporarily normal offspring by intermarrying with human women.

The number of existing deep divers is very small. According to the college's records, their team had completely removed the deep diver bloodline in Innsmouth 20 years ago. According to the professor who participated in the operation that year, he was drunk. Claiming they had seen Dagon with their own eyes.

The giant body, which was fully 50 meters long, was weakened by the death of its servants in the ocean, and was forced back from the depths of the harbor in the bay near Innsmouth into the sea, never to return.

But those immature deep divers from all over the world were summoned again. Instead of going to Innsmouth, they went to sea alone and disappeared from the surveillance of the academy.

The last time they appeared was Raleye.

This is because the main existing deep divers have only transformed in the past few decades. A dozen years ago, they did not have much time to transform.

Therefore, when Pearson and others first waited for Raleye to help the indigenous tribe repel the deep divers, they just felt that those strange men had some characteristics of fish, but they did not feel intimidated or scared.

The deep divers at that time still had human physical characteristics.

And those deep divers also attacked R'lyeh in order to plunder women who could give birth to offspring.

Because they are very afraid of the power of the academy and worry that they will be completely defeated when they return to land.

Now they may be colluding with the returning cultists, using special power to summon violent storms to hide their whereabouts, and then board the land in the middle of the night to attack humans.

After hearing this, Amanda suddenly realized.

Pearson was still a little confused and asked hurriedly:

"However, those deep divers did not attack and plunder any residents last night, they were just attacking us."

Amanda explained: "Pearson, these deep divers are cooperating with cultists. I think women must be their prey, but before that, they must first complete the conditions for cooperation with cultists. And we are The only people in town who can currently threaten the cultists' operations are the ones who attack us first."

Qi Wen laughed and snapped his fingers: "Exactly! You are so smart, Amanda."

Pearson pondered:
"Then, we need to start paying attention to the protection of women in the town. How about gathering all the women together so that they can be easily controlled."

Before Amanda could speak, Qi Wen shook his head and retorted:

"No, according to my observation, ordinary residents have not yet realized what happened in the heavy rain last night. Letting them enjoy peace in ignorance is the best choice. Otherwise, there are so many ordinary people, and once they are frightened, they will It’s noisy, isn’t it making it more difficult for yourself?”

Amanda agrees with Qi Wen's idea. I have to say that the professor's students are really forward-looking. They have already figured out the situation in the town within a day of coming here.

Amanda still had some questions. He was curious. If the Deep Ones were servants of Dagon, what did this have to do with the beliefs of the cultists?

Moreover, he had an instinctive feeling that the god Kirialod believed by the current cultists was not the same god believed in by the cult that was liquidated 12 years ago.

He asked: "Mr. Qi Wen, what do you know about the beliefs of these cultists who have made a comeback?"

Qi Wen showed a rare hesitation and said:
"I don't know about this. If it is a natural monster, or a deep diver, Wendigo and other monsters created by the descendants of humans and natural creatures, I have some idea. But when it comes to the so-called gods, it has to be I asked my teacher.”

Amanda didn't expect to get the truth she wanted from Qi Wen.

They talked all the way and arrived at their destination.

There is a patrol post there, and there are two wounded patients lying in the room, they are companions who were attacked by deep divers last night.

Before he even entered the room, he could tell from the countless blood-stained medical cotton sheets on hand by the doctor nearby and the painful expressions on the patients' faces that the injuries were serious.
