  Chapter 492 Judge's practice

  Under the night, Innsmouth was dead silent.

  The continuous killings during this period of time have made this gloomy town look even colder and gloomy. Now as soon as the sun goes down, everyone rushes home in a hurry. Even the business of attracting foreign tourists has stopped. Even at home, the residents of Innsmouth dare not turn on the lights. They just light candles, curl up in their rooms, and wait for the dawn in horror...

A black cat passed silently through the deserted streets and alleys, and came to a tall tower not far away. She leaped nimbly up to the top of the tower, and then jumped, jumped When he reached Duanmuhuai's shoulder standing in the shadows, he leaned against his mouth and meowed a few words, and Duanmuhuai also stretched out his hand, touched the black cat's little head, and put her into his arms .

   "Very well, everything seems to be going well."

  Looking at the dead Innsmouth in front of him, Duanmuhuai nodded in satisfaction, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. What came mixed with the fresh sea breeze was that wonderful breath full of fear and despair. The fear of those lowly alien hybrids in the face of death and destruction is the best food for Duanmuhuai, the **** of destruction.

  In fact, these fish-faced heretics did not realize that this territory originally covered by the great gods they believed in had been quietly eroded by the fearful aura of the God of Destruction.

   Duanmuhuai had planned to do so.

   In fact, most players do this.

  If they received a commission to investigate somewhere, most of these players behaved as polite as gentlemen, as if they were a real professional detective.

   But on the other hand, if the player is not entrusted, but takes the initiative to find trouble, it is basically tearing off the mask of their civilization and becoming unscrupulous.

  The reason is also very simple.

  When you accept this entrustment, your every move will be regarded as the beginning of the assessment.

  It’s like an interview. The moment you enter the room, no matter what you think, the assessment has already begun. Even your posture, attitude and tone of sitting on the chair may affect your evaluation.

   But it’s different if you take the initiative to find something. Because there is no entrustment, players can do whatever they want. After all, even if I did it, as long as you can’t find out, then the last thing will not be my responsibility!

  Duanmuhuai is the same now.

  If he had received a commission to investigate the case in Innsmouth, then Duanmuhuai would naturally act in strict accordance with the way of a regular investigator.

But if Duanmu Huai did not receive the entrustment, but came to Innsmouth on his own initiative, then he could do whatever he wanted, even if he killed all the people in Innsmouth, as long as he could submit a self-justified evidence line afterwards, That's it.

  This is also the reason why the players in the small town of Innsmouth danced wildly in the game.

   Another reason is even simpler. Although in this world, players are investigators, in the final analysis, they are judges of the Tribunal.

   As for the group of Innsmouth heretics who are mixed with deep divers and believe in evil gods, according to the standards of the trial court, they must be completely exterminated, regardless of men, women, or children. Of course, it’s not just these heresy cultists who believe in heresies and heretics who are mixed with deep divers, including the deep divers they believe in, Dagon and even Cthulhu. Purify them all, leaving none behind.

  So to some extent, the identity of the player as a judge and as an investigator are somewhat contradictory.

  Because according to the job of the judge, all heretics and heretics must be killed when they see it. evidence? The judge has the final say on this thing, I say there is one, it's none of my business whether you believe it or not...

  But of course investigators in this world can’t be so bold, they still have to act within the legal framework, at least... on the surface you have to make sense.

  Actually, at the very beginning, many players suffered from this aspect. They accepted the commission and then went to investigate, only to find that a certain place was full of cultists. In the spirit of the Inquisition Court, who would rather kill a thousand by mistake than spare one, they were all slaughtered. Of course, the local government can't just let it go, so these players started fighting with the police and army who were chasing them, and in the end, the points were deducted and they were directly kicked out of the game world GAME OVER.

   But later, the players learned to be smart and quickly found a balance.

   Heretics must be killed. As judges, this is their job. There is no discussion, and no one can say it.

  But ah... the middle process, the operability is too great.

  The same is true of Duanmuhuai's plan at the moment.

  He is planning to increase the fear of the people of Innsmouth by causing these serial killings in Innsmouth, and at the same time put pressure on the four major families. He can be sure that the four major families will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure and will call Dagon or Cthulhu for help.

At that time, he only needs to seize the opportunity, give the opponent a heavy blow to the greatest extent, and then burn Innsmouth all on fire, and then when he submits the evidence line to the police, he will say that these idiots believe in evil gods and launch sacrilegious religious ceremonies The failure resulted in the destruction of the entire town...

  Who can check it out?

  As long as the evidence is solid, the police will definitely turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

Players with similar operations have done more in the game, and there are all kinds of hype excuses, such as a sudden outbreak of plague, a sudden earthquake in the whole town, and a sudden eruption of a nearby volcano that buried the whole town. I'm too lazy to make it up, so I just said that the people there suddenly went crazy and killed each other...

  Anyway, "dead no evidence".

   After all, investigators belong to investigators, just play around, and judges should not forget their job.

  Duanmu Huai wasn't even worried that the Innsmouth people would go to the police. These cultists themselves were not clean. If they dared to report this kind of thing, it would be a real shame if the higher-ups came down to investigate. So he can be sure that no matter how many heretics he kills in Innsmouth, no one in Innsmouth will dare to fart.

  The fact is exactly the same. According to the results of Bell Girl's investigation, people from the four major families have gathered to discuss countermeasures. As for the police station, they are demanding that the matter be completely suppressed and no one is allowed to bring it up.

  This also means that if Duanmuhuai continues to kill here, even if the higher-ups come to investigate, they will not be able to get a little bit of information and information about the murder-because in the police station, these cases "do not exist" at all.

  Those who kill them themselves, they have to help themselves to deal with the aftermath. Duanmuhuai thinks these cultists are really kind.

   Of course, in return, Duanmu Huai promised to give them an unforgettable ending.

  The reason why Duanmu Huai was able to do this was also thanks to his possession of the Primarch gene of the Raven Guard, which allowed him to sneak around in the streets and alleys of Innsmouth without being discovered. If not, it would be much more difficult for Duanmu Huai to move freely in this place.

In fact, Duanmuhuai was not idle during the time when the four major families were searching for the murderer. He took advantage of the time when the group of people went out to search for him during the day, and directly sneaked into the lair of the four major families, collecting There is a lot of evidence - including the heavy material that the Fulsson family bribed a congressman, and the Tolomini Hospital used the name of medical treatment to inject patients with mysterious drugs and use them to conduct various human experiments record and image data.

   It can be said that the four major families never expected that when they were looking for the murderer outside in a rage, the culprit had already turned their lair upside down.

  Combined with the materials of collusion between the Innsmouth Police Department and the Frink family, a complete line of evidence has been completely collected by Duanmuhuai. Now, he had to see where the group of cultists planned to go and who they could summon.

   Unfortunately, in Duanmuhuai's view, the possibility of Cthulhu is extremely low. After all, Cthulhu needs nine stars to unblock. However, they haven't heard of any abnormal celestial phenomena recently. Dagon is probably their limit.

  Of course, there is really no Cthulhu, and Dagon can barely accept it...

Also as a god, Duanmu Huai is not afraid of evil gods like Cthulhu, who are at the village head level. Nothing to be afraid of.

   Many Cthulhu believers claim that when it wakes up it will destroy the entire world... and then it was hit and disabled by a fishing boat.

That's it?

   Don't feel ashamed?

  It would be too funny if the world could be destroyed by this thing.

  Duanmuhuai is really curious, these believers are probably not out of their minds... Oh, they are indeed out of their minds.

   That's all right.

   After all, one of the biggest characteristics of Cthulhu believers is mental retardation.

   Then, it's time to completely destroy everything.

  Early the next morning, the atmosphere in the entire town of Innsmouth seemed quite tense and gloomy. The torrential rain that lasted for several days not only did not stop, but became heavier and heavier. But in this weather, Innsmouth people did not choose to stay at home. On the contrary, they walked out of their homes in twos and threes like shaking zombies, gathered together, rushed forward along the street, and went to the Dagon Church on the coast.

  No one spoke or moved on the way. They just walked forward and then forward until they reached the church.

   This church, which once belonged to other denominations, has now been remodeled for decades and has become a huge monster, enough to accommodate hundreds of believers in it. And this is almost the majority of the population of the small town of Innsmouth.

   At the bottom of the church, Patriarch Frink was also standing there. He was covered in a black robe, looking at the dark, huge cave in front of him. This cave is where they sacrificed to the great being they believed in, and this time, they will unite and pray for Dagon's gift and guidance to destroy the murderous ghost that haunts Innsmouth.

Patriarch Frink also secretly prayed for the guidance of faith several times in private, but all he got was a vague revelation. A tall, terrifying, and stalwart figure watched the entire Innsmouth. In front of him, the entire town It's as fragile as a toy on a sand table.

  However, this figure was indistinct. Not only that, when Patriarch Frink looked at him, he only felt a trembling fear from the depths of his soul.

   "Mr. Frink."

   "———!"

Patriarch Frink was startled by the figure that came from his ear. He hurriedly came back to his senses, turned his head to look, and saw beside him, a fat man was frowning and staring at him. He was Fu The patriarch of the Elson family. On weekdays, Frink would definitely want to ridicule his fat body like a pig, but now, he is not in the mood.

"What's wrong?"

   "It's time for the ceremony to begin."

  Fulsom nodded to Frink, who also took a long breath, then stared forward with wide eyes.

   "Of course...well, let's get started."
