The World is Sick

"After finishing this matter, I will be ordered to guard the Great Cathedral. If you plan to stay in the Star Clock Tower, you should not quarrel with Geman in such a rigid way."

Kevin turned his head and looked seriously at the middle-aged man who had been despised and teased by him. The frivolity on his face gradually became more profound and respectful.

Immediately, a sentence came to his mind, and he blurted it out subconsciously.

"If there is a difference between belief and morality, how do you choose?"

Ludwig was stunned for a moment, and responded without hesitation.

"Then I will firmly stand on the side of faith! Right and wrong, others will judge for themselves."

Kevin nodded slightly, with a little more solemnity in his eyes, and then left a farewell whisper when he turned around.

"Take care, Mr. Ludwig."

This call washes away impetuousness and arrogance, and what is left is only admiration for that soul.

In the afternoon, on the avenue outside the city, the two of them galloped in the shadow of the woods.

Seeing the figure behind him chasing up, Maria immediately whipped the white horse under her crotch, and distanced herself from someone with a cold face.

Since he had just taken the opportunity to trick this silly girl, Kevin reckoned that she had just been scolded bloody by the teacher German, so she couldn't help but feel a little guilty, so he had no choice but to follow behind.

In the dull atmosphere, the two drove for three hours straight, and after three-quarters of the journey, Kevin saw the huntress's complexion improved a little, so he stepped forward to remind him in embarrassment.

"Senior Sister Maria, if you go any further, you should leave a mark and discard the horses."

In fact, although there are some dangers in this operation, it is impossible for them to go deep alone.

According to the arrangement that Kevin heard, the large troops of the Star Clock Tower will stagger the time, and then set off to be responsible for the response in the dense forest of the small town of Innsmouth.

And the two of them not only had to leave a mark for the rest of the road, but also had to put the horses in the wilderness for free-range.

After all, the horses in the Star Clock Tower basically have the marks left by the soldering iron on their buttocks.

Moreover, once they rode into Innsmouth, and matched with this suit, they clearly told the opposite side that they were suspicious-looking foreigners, and they were easy to be spotted.

Maria reined in the reins and got off the horse, then took off the package and went into the woods to change clothes.

To avoid suspicion, Kevin had to turn his back to the woods, lean against the tree, and count the stones on the ground.

But the keen perception made Kevin unable to help but fall into reverie about the structure of women's bodies after hearing a rustling sound.

Finally, the huntress, who was dressed up, was wearing a plain gray dress and a light yellow round cap. From a distance, she looked like a simple village woman.

However, when it was Kevin's turn to change his clothes, Maria stretched out her arms and stopped him.

"You keep an eye on the horses and clothes outside, waiting to meet up with the main force. I can go to that place alone."

"no!"

"It's very dangerous there! If you are not careful, you will die. This is not the last time you can play a little trick to pass the game."

Maria put her hands on Kevin's shoulders, her cherry lips were tightly pursed, and there was more worry in her eyes than blame.

However, this guy was ungrateful, and Maria, who had been scolded for nothing in the morning, felt itchy in the root of her teeth, snorted coldly and turned away, and simply stopped wasting words.

A moment later, Kevin, dressed as a simple villager, walked out of the woods and came to Maria with a smile.

Before the huntress came back to her senses, some dust was smeared on her lychee-like cheeks like lightning, leaving faint soil stains.

"After running ten miles and eight miles, you are still so innocent. Once you enter Innsmouth, you will definitely be watched."

"Senior Sister Maria, since you were young, you have been out of the Star Clock Tower a few times, and you are not bad at fighting with wild beasts. If you want to play with people, you are far away."

"In any case, I am also a traveler who has seen the customs and customs along the way, at least I know more than you."

"In this mission, people's hearts are much more difficult to deal with than beasts."

"As for the safety issue, don't worry about it. If the situation is not right, I will not lose my ability to escape."

"Okay, be content, without me, you are more dangerous!"

The man snorted angrily. Faced with the impeccable reason and the palms smeared on her face, Maria could only close her eyes and give up resistance as if resigned to her fate.

As the evening approached, a pair of dusty, unremarkable young couples entered this dark and damp town with the smell of sea breeze and towering buildings.

Chapter 1192 Chapter [-] The Standard Innsmouth Face

The long street paved with turquoise stone slabs is wet and covered with moss.

The doors and windows of the surrounding houses are tightly closed, and some snails and conchs that like humid environments stick to the shadows of the walls.

The sporadic vendors on both sides are mostly young girls and children. They looked curiously at the outsiders on the street, then lowered their heads and kept strange silence.

This group of people basically only sells sea fish. Although there are occasional vegetables and fruits on the shelves, they show signs of severe dehydration.

A layer of white salt and alkali is condensed on the surface of the leaves and peels of fruits and vegetables, like a thick shell, which looks extremely disgusting.

The Gothic church originally built by the Healing Church has been demolished and turned into a strange building full of asymmetry.

The wall of the main entrance highlights the gilded relief, which is composed of water patterns and humanoid monsters.

These fish-headed and human-bodied things are in the water waves, showing half of their bodies, holding steel forks, and seem to be walking towards the village of Haibian.

The more you watch carefully, the easier it seems to be fascinated, as if the water waves are flowing quietly, the longer you watch, the group of monsters with fish heads and human bodies seem to be getting closer to the coast.

In a daze, a warm touch came from her hand, and Maria woke up suddenly, and her out-of-focus eyes immediately returned to normal.

But unknowingly, the distance between her and the weird church is getting closer.

Maria's expression froze, and she raised her head again, and the murloc relief under her gaze seemed to be clearer and more obvious.

She could even vaguely see the group of monsters coming ashore, grinning their sharp teeth and roaring at her silently.

Fortunately, Maria, who was prepared this time, immediately calmed down and freed herself from this strange illusion. The eyes that looked at the strange church gradually became dignified.

Behind the closed door in front of him, there seemed to be murmurs echoing in the hall, and the salty smell permeated through the gap.

As the distance approached, Maria's heart beat more and more violently. She had a faint premonition that as long as she opened the door, there seemed to be something waiting in the dark.

"Don't look, when I save enough money, I will definitely buy you pure gold jewelry."

The man smiled slightly, stroking Maria's cheek with his thumb affectionately, as if he was a husband who dotes on his wife.

"Let's go, the sun is going to set, let's rest for one night, and we have to go on the road tomorrow."

Maria blushed slightly, lowered her head subconsciously, and shyly drew closer to Kevin.

However, that intimate whisper was a bit more frivolous and annoying in its softness.

"Touch again, be careful with your fingers!"

Although the harsh words of the threat were released, it is not known how effective they will be.

Kevin smiled mischievously, carried his bags on his back, patted Maria's arm politely, and looked for a nearby hotel.

However, as the two went deeper, the surrounding buildings became more chaotic and slanted, and the musty and stench that could be smelled when entering the town became stronger.

Fortunately, thanks to Kevin's guidance, the delicate-minded Maria quickly entered the scene.

They looked around quietly, and with the mentality of country people who do not want to cause trouble, they quickened their pace, and they did not forget to whisper on the way.

When they came to a corner, they finally ran into a little girl speeding past.

Kevin quickly grabbed the child's arm and asked where the hotel was.

After the little girl glanced at them timidly, seeing the kind faces of the two, coupled with Kevin's natural affinity, the girl hesitated for a moment, then raised her finger to the beach ahead.

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave for the hotel after thanking them, the little girl looked anxious and couldn't help but stepped forward, as if she wanted to speak.

But suddenly there was a hissing dry cough suppressed in the throat, the little girl turned pale, and hurriedly turned around and ran into the dark.

Kevin and Maria, who had keen five senses, looked back and vaguely saw a few figures with long and narrow faces and dull expressions flashing through the shadows of the alleyway.

They have hunched backs, and behind the white and salt-stained clothes, they are bulging, as if hiding a large cyst.

Maria was worried about the safety of the little girl, and subconsciously wanted to turn around and chase after her.

But Kevin grabbed her wrist and shook his head slightly. Maria remembered the mission, so she had no choice but to give up and prayed for the little girl secretly.

After detours several times, the two finally arrived in front of the hotel by the sea in the town.

To be honest, the accommodation in this hotel is terrible. There are green mold stains faintly visible on the walls, and the air is extremely humid. It makes the skin uncomfortable after staying for a long time.

However, the two rural couples who went out naturally had nothing to choose, so they could only make do with it.

In front of the counter, Kevin chose the room, and after paying the deposit, he couldn't help asking about the strange faces he saw on the road just now.

"No big fuss, it's just a standard Innsmouth face, it's just in the family."

"There are some local customs and taboos, don't run out at night."

The middle-aged boss replied casually, his voice was hoarse and vague, with a strange sound of air leakage.

The faces of the two turned pale, they seemed to be stunned, and they looked at the boss blankly.

Immediately, the boss impatiently threw a bunch of room keys stained with white salt to the couple.

After the two thanked each other, they went upstairs with heavy thoughts, locked the door behind them, and stayed in the room obediently.

After waiting in front of the door for a while to confirm the silence, Kevin raised his right index finger upright to silence the sound, and then skillfully groped and knocked around to avoid hidden doors, eavesdropping and other situations.

Maria, who was not very familiar with this, obediently stood on the floor and let the professionals rummage through it.

Kevin searched the room carefully before he felt relieved, sat in front of the bed, pointed downstairs, and lowered his voice.

"See?"

Maria's cherry lips were tightly pursed, and she still couldn't believe it until now.

"Just now, behind his ear was... a gill?"

Kevin nodded slightly, opened the window, looked at the churning black sea water, his eyebrows gradually gathered.

"How can a person have gills?"

Maria recalled that when the boss was speaking, there were six pink slits slightly split behind the ears, and she muttered to herself in astonishment.

"What if they are no longer human?"

Kevin closed the window, turned his head and pondered, with a meaningful expression on his face.

"Innsmouth face? Could it be that they have a rare disease, or a curse? The church's blood therapy should help."
