American Comics: The Leader Of The Cult, Creating The Cthulhu Gods

Chapter Eighteen: Before the ceremony begins! ! (ask for flowers, ask for evaluation tickets, ask for monthly tickets)

It wasn't until this time that everyone discovered that there were some crooked towers not far from them, and the bell came from the top of the tower.

It's just that the sound of the bell makes people feel quite uncomfortable.

Phil Coulson and others could not help but frown after listening to it for a while, as if they didn't like the sound quite much.

Among the crowd, only Xiao Wen didn't respond to the young man at all.

And as the bell rang, more and more people gradually appeared on the originally empty streets.

It's just that the appearance of these people makes people feel more uncomfortable than the bell.

Because these people all have obvious Innsmouth looks.

It is said that this is due to the sequelae left by their inbreeding.

Their foreheads are narrow, their noses are flat, their eyes are protruding and gray-white, and there are deep folds on both sides of their necks, and their skin is rough as if they have a skin disease such as ichthyosis.

This is a typical Innsmouth appearance, which is very different from ordinary people at first glance, and it can even be said to be deformed.

And these people seem to understand this, so many people will wear hats or other things to cover up.

And from the church not far away, priests who seemed to have higher status and power also came out and joined these people.

Those priests seem to be very rich, they wear gold crowns, and various accessories.

They hide their Innsmouth looks under that wealth, but even so, the ominous aura about them makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Gradually, there were more and more of these people, and an ominous premonition suddenly emerged from the bottom of Phil Coulson's heart.

However, before he could react, these Innsmouth locals had already set their eyes on them.

Almost ashamed, Phil Coulson went to get his own gun.

But at this moment, an old man holding a whiskey bottle and exuding a strong smell of alcohol suddenly appeared in front of them, and pulled them away from this place.

The sudden appearance of the old man surprised everyone except Xiao Wen.

Then the old man took Phil Coulson's hand involuntarily and led them to other places.

Phil Coulson did not reject the old man's behavior, and Xiao Wen followed with an inexplicable smile.

Following the footsteps of the old man, everyone soon came to the most desolate house in a town that was farthest from the coast.

"Outsiders, why do you come to this kind of place? And at this time?"

The old man said worriedly and eagerly.

"Tonight, you'd better stay here, no matter what happens outside, you must not leave, understand?"

Phil Coulson looked at the old man in front of him.

He didn't have the so-called Innsmouth look, but a very normal old man.

Just a little haggard and dirty.

Wearing tattered clothes, he looked like a homeless man.

And the body is still filled with a pungent wine smell, as if it was just fished out of the wine barrel.

But Phil Coulson knew it would be his chance.

The old man in front of him clearly knew the secrets of this small town. It would be great if he could get some information from this old man.

So Phil Coulson immediately asked the old man.

"Old sir, what happened in this town? Why did you let us stay here? And what's your name?"

Xiao Wen looked at the old man, and already understood the identity of the old man in his heart.

In other words, Xiao Wen knew the identity of this old man from the very beginning.

Because the small town of Innsmouth was created by Xiao Wen, Xiao Wen knows everything about it.

"My name is Zadok Eren. As you can see, I am a drunkard, a lonely old man."

Eren laughed at himself, and then continued: "Sir, please believe me, everything I said is for your own good, the ceremony is about to start, if they find out now, you will all die!"

However, Eren's admonition did not scare Phil Coulson. Instead, it made him confirm one thing more. The Eren in front of him knew the secret of this weird town.

Xiao Wen didn't stop it either, because this was exactly his purpose.
