In the dimly lit basement of the Order, strange stone pillars stood in the center, in which indescribable runes and abominable carvings shone with a terrifying sheen. The strange white light was like the vicious gaze of some huge creature......

When the clock struck midnight and the afterglow of twelve o'clock spread throughout the basement, the eerie stone pillars also emitted an even more intense luster. The indescribable aura intensified, and the filthy fishy smell surged around. Through that clear white light, Ye Yifan saw that the deformed and glowing body was letting out a strange roar, rushing towards him.

"W-......! …… Yikes! ”

The hateful body was completely opposite to Ye Yifan, and the protruding eyes exuded a vivid white light, and a fishy smell like a dead fish suddenly filled Ye Yifan's entire nasal cavity. It didn't feel afraid, but all that was left in its eyes was the half-human, half-fish abomination that leaped towards it like a frog.

Deep Diver ......

Ye Yifan muttered this unclean name, and it knew that this alien species contained the characteristics of frogs in addition to the characteristics of fish. They can jump very high, and they have intelligence, even the flesh that doesn't die. Of course, the physical body does not die under natural circumstances, and does not include being hit by the outside world to death!

In just a moment, Ye Yifan took out the GUTS Rhea gun from the gun pocket of his coat, and he didn't even need to aim at it. The fiery red beam of light shot through the narrow head of the diver as accurately as if it had eyes, and the diver's body was stunned, and it fell to the ground vertically like a bird shot by a bow and arrow.

Disgusting crimson blood spilled out of the deepdiver's brain, staining the damp ground. The foul fishy smell was even stronger, but the smell also made Ye Yifan feel at ease.

Then, it looked at the unique stone pillar and the statue of Cthulhu on top of it. That flickering light seemed to be a sign that the people of Innsmouth were about to come down to God.

It's April 30th, and all the divers are heading from Innsmouth or the deep-sea cities to Devil's Reef for an evil ritual in preparation for the arrival of the great Cthulhu and the first step in dragging the world into the abyss of madness.

Ye Yifan felt that he couldn't leave this stone pillar here, as long as it existed, the deep diver would never stop. To do this, it had to destroy the pillar, as well as the indescribable statue of Cthulhu.

Ye Yifan slowly unwrapped the bandage on his left hand, and smashed the plaster on his palm with a heavy punch, which was covered with mouthparts and his eyes were making a mocking smile at it.

It glanced at its left hand in return, then placed it on the stone pillar. Suddenly, the brilliance emitted by the stone pillar was absorbed by the mouthparts of Ye Yifan's left hand like milk, and the remaining mouthparts also made a satisfactory sound.

This pillar, and its statue, are alive, just like the statue of Satogua in the Land of the End, and as long as it absorbs the power contained in it, this pillar will be damaged.

Sure enough, after Ye Yifan's left hand sucked the brilliance of the stone pillar, the entire stone pillar also burst out with countless cracks, and there was no longer the strange moisturizing of the past, and even the carvings on it lost their vitality.

It's really just an ordinary stone now, Ye Yifan thought. Then, it looked at its left hand, and the mouthparts on it were also very humanely burped, which made people feel very disgusted.

After absorbing this power, the indescribable knowledge became active. Ye Yifan forcibly suppressed the forbidden knowledge, wrapped his arm with a bandage again, and then left the basement.

It soon crossed the narrow staircase to the streets of Innsmouth, which was not as silent as it had been.

The streets were littered with deformed faces like dead fish and hunched dog-like gaits, and some walked exactly like apes, frequently touching the ground with their scaly arms. Others, dressed in robes and crowns, seemed to be bouncing forward in an almost small jump. At the same time, he muttered some indistinguishable dialects in an abominable voice.

The walls of the huge church glowed eerily in the moonlight, and dazed-faced divers sprang out on all sides toward the shoreline, the ancient minarets and rooftops that towered over the town of Innsmouth gleamed with an eerie, ethereal glow in the white moonlight that seemed to have magical powers.

At the same time, Ye Yifan also noticed that some deep divers also emerged in the church. They wore wide robes, and one had a crown with a spire, which reflected a bright white glow in the moonlight.

Now Ye Yifan finally understood what the smile that the cardinal priest had on them, and he had to rush to the Gelman Hotel immediately, because Megumi Middlema might be in danger.......

In order not to attract the attention of those deep divers, Ye Yifan hid the aura on his body, which was easy for the primeval to do.

It calmly ran in the direction of the Gelman Lodge, and despite the loud footsteps, the divers in the streets continued to walk towards the shoreline as if they had not seen it.

This made Ye Yifan's actions a lot easier, and after passing through a few blocks, he soon saw the tall domed attic at the top of the Gelman Inn. It loomed above the sloping roof on the right side of the front, but it was dark at the moment, and there was no light.

Although a few benevolent breezes had dispelled the unpleasant smell of fish, they had now returned and become maddeningly intense.

Coming to the door of the Gelman Hotel, Ye Yifan noticed that the window of their room was open, and the cold wind with the smell of fish was blowing the moldy curtains, and at the same time, there were several lines of sticky water stains along the wall, scratching down the windows. Wherever the water stains flowed, they left an unbearable fishy smell.

Megumi Kurama is gone......

Ye Yifan quickly realized this reality. It had sensed that the diver had entered their room, and Megumi Kuma's breath had completely vanished, leaving only the damn fishy smell.

However, Ye Yifan thought that the group of deep divers hadn't killed her yet, because the ritual required a living person as a sacrifice. Innsmouth, where outsiders talk about the discoloration, has no complete human beings at all, so for those who are deep divers, they are the best sacrifices for outsiders.

Ye Yifan felt that his actions had to be accelerated, and he had to rush to save Megumi before she was devoured by an unspeakable monster! At the same time, the ritual must be ruined, or Laleier will rise from the bottom of the sea, and the great Cthulhu will drag everyone into mad delirium.

In the bright moonlight, Ye Yifan followed the faltering deep divers to the western coastline, and even though it had not yet reached the beach, it could still catch a glimpse of a faint but steady light on the demon reef in the distance, which was not like the flickering lights seen in the basement of the church before, but revealed a strange color that could not be accurately distinguished.

Then Ye Yifan was on the beach and saw countless abominable deformed monsters emerging on the sparkling and shining sea in the ghostly midsummer moonlight - they were real deep divers!

As they grew older, the hybrid divers were no longer able to adapt to life on land, so they had to live in the cold and dark ocean floor, and when the appointed day came, they would pour out of the bottom of the sea and swim together to the ancient and terrifying Devil's Reef.

Among them, Ye Yifan saw that the inhabitants of Innsmouth went to the sea one after another, although they were still wearing clothes, and although those clothes were wet by the black water, they still showed their agility like fish effortlessly, and together with those monsters that came out of the sea, they swam to the ominous demon reef.

Ye Yifan decided that their number was definitely not as good as it saw, because there were still many shadows on the sea, which showed that there were still many deep divers who had dived over, and there were thousands of them.

The sea water was full of salty and wet fishy smell, and Ye Yifan didn't want to touch those filthy sea waters. It had to find a way to get to Devil's Reef, so it looked around the docks.

It was a bit of a surprise that there were no boats in sight from the surface, but there was a tiny rowboat with some large, bulky, tarpaulin-covered cargo.

Ye Yifan hurriedly boarded the rowing boat, and threw it into the sea regardless of what the cargo was. This reduced some weight, but Ye Yifan, who only had one arm, was very laborious to paddle, so he picked up the rope on the boat and put it on a deep diver who looked very energetic.

The diver was puzzled, and when he looked back, he saw nothing, only a rope hanging from him. It didn't bother to get the rope off its body, so it continued to swim towards the Demon Reef.

The vision of the fish was very poor, and Ye Yifan hid his aura, so those deep divers naturally didn't notice it. So, Ye Yifan became the first person to pull the boat with a fishman and slowly sailed towards Devil's Reef.

At first the diver swam quite fast, but when it got to the back door, it felt more and more tired, and before it could be done, it swam from the front to the rear, and the other divers had reached the shore, and it took a long time for it to land. This time, the deep diver pulled the rope off his body, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

Speaking of which, Ye Yifan still has to thank the deep diver, if it wasn't for it dragging, it is estimated that Ye Yifan would have spent most of the day coming to Devil's Reef, but at that time, Megumi was almost cold.

Then Ye Yifan carefully fixed the rowing boat, but when it stepped into the first step of the Devil's Reef, its feet sank deeply. It's not so much a reef as a hellish black rolling dirt field.

At the same time, an indescribable stench filled the air. The rancid smell here comes not only from the fishy smell of the deep divers, but also from the rotting bodies of the fish, and from the many indescribable creatures, whose carcasses are exposed to the filthy mud of the endless plains.

Ye Yifan guessed that this Devil's Reef may have risen tens of millions of years ago, and the deep divers walking in this silt are like walking on flat ground, which should come from their webbed feet, which can reduce the pressure very well.

Ye Yifan didn't have that kind of skill, so he could only make a simple shoe cover out of the tarpaulin left over from the ship, and now it was finally able to walk freely in the mud.

Then Ye Yifan followed the steps of the deep diver and walked towards the depths of the Devil's Reef, this way it was only silt, and the silent world and monotonous scenery made it disgusting and extremely nauseous.

Soon Ye Yifan noticed that there was a very high hill on the Devil's Reef, so he climbed towards the hill, and the protruding rocks on the cliff wall provided just the right place to stay. It effortlessly climbed the cliff and stood on the slope of the mountain face, looking into the depths where even the light could not shine.

At one end, there is an unfathomable dark abyss or canyon, and even the rising moon cannot reach its pitch-black valley floor. Looking at the eternal darkness and the chaos of the abyss from the edge of the hill, I felt like I was standing on the edge of the world.

The moon rises higher, and the rising moon shines its bright, whitened light on the cliffs on both sides of the abyss, reflecting the rushing stream of the canyon, which is so long that there is no end in sight on either side, and the mud on both sides of the canyon is covered with gathered divers, and in the center of the stream is a strange stone pillar like the basement of the church.

The stone pillar had the same eerie glow as the one in the basement, which was probably the one the American officer had seen. The ancient brilliance that Ye Yifan saw on the beach was also emitted by it.

The light emitted by the stone pillar was very bright, and Ye Yifan could clearly see that there were six or seven people tied around the stone pillar, they were so alone tied to the stream, and the flowing sea water slapped on their faces, but even then they still showed no signs of waking up.

When the light was brighter, Ye Yifan saw clearly that there were seven people tied up in the stream, some men and some women, most of them were wearing uniforms that were very similar to GUTS, but they were blue, and their faces were also very common American faces, both black and white.

That should be the missing Brut team, Ye Yifan thought, but it quickly noticed that there was another person wearing different clothes than them, an Asian face. His sleek short hair was wet with the sea, and his face was stained with the sea, and he knelt in the middle of the stream like a tortured prisoner.

Ye Yifan was shocked after seeing that person, because she was the missing Megumi Juma!
