[In the winter of 1927-28, federal government officials launched a strange and covert investigation into certain conditions in Innsmouth, Massachusetts' seaport town.

The public first learned about the incident in February. A series of large-scale raids and arrests followed, followed by a systematic effort to blow up and burn a large number of crumbling, moth-ridden, supposedly uninhabited houses in the waterfront wasteland.

Those who live in the countryside and in nearby towns have a lot of criticism of the place in private, but rarely talk about it to the outside world. For nearly a century, they have been talking about the dying, almost deserted Innsmouth.

What was known at the time was actually very limited; Because of the barren, inhospitable and uninhabited salt marshes, those living in the surrounding hinterland rarely visit Innsmouth. 】

Listening to the roar of the plane, Ye Yifan inquired about all the records about the town of Innsmouth. The material he was reading now was written by an unlucky tourist who had strayed into Innsmouth. It is unknown what happened to it in the town of Innsmouth, and then ran out of it like crazy and reported it to the officials, many of the townspeople of Innsmouth were arrested en masse, and Innsmouth was almost reduced to a dead city.

As for Innsmouth, it used to be almost a city. It was a port before the American Revolution of 1812, but it has gradually collapsed over the past 100 years.

There are no trains going there anymore, no tracks ever there, and the branch lines that run from Raleigh were all out of service a few years ago.

But after a cleanup, why did the town survive for a long time? Ye Yifan didn't know this, so he asked Megumi on the side: "After Innsmouth was cleaned up in 1928, what caused them to survive?" And...... The town of Innsmouth is still unchanged from 1928. ”

Megumi shook her head and replied, "We don't know about that...... But according to the surrounding towns, the people of Innsmouth are making a deal with the devil. Neither Arkham nor Ipswich were reluctant to trade with Innsmouth, whose profits were sustained by local fishing and gold refining. ”

Trading with the Devil......

Ye Yifan thinks it's just worshipping Cthulhu...... Because Innsmouth is so close to L'Alaye, almost all of the surrounding waters are filled with Cthulhu's clan divers. They may be able to survive with the Deep Diver alone, and perhaps Lalaye and collective delirium have something to do with the Deep Diver.

If the anomalous events there can be resolved, Laleiel will not surface and Cthulhu will not wake up, which is equivalent to saving the world, right?

Ye Yifan smiled bitterly, looked at Megumi Juma and said, "What are we going to do when we get there?" ”

"First of all, let's ask about the Brut team and see if they are still alive. Then investigate the cult ritual over there, and if it really has something to do with Luluye, then find a way to sabotage the ritual and contact reinforcements to wipe them out when the time comes. Megumi said with a serious expression.

This plan is cerebral palsy, which is tantamount to taking off your pants and farting. Wouldn't it be nice for Ye Yifan to directly send troops over to kill indiscriminately? But when it thought that cult rituals would trigger collective delirium, it still forcibly held back its words, and sure enough, for those unknown things, it was better to investigate clearly before people could feel at ease.

In addition to this, Ye Yifan seemed to think of something and asked Juma Hui: "By the way, when will the permission to meet with the predecessors of Dagu be approved?" ”

Speaking of this question, Megumi Kuruma understood that Ye Yifan already knew that Dagu was Ultraman Tiga. To be honest, the director of TPC wanted her to be the director at the beginning, but Megumi Kurama wanted to protect the peaceful life of the Okoku family and the sealing of the Omega file, so she decided to give up her position to Kibi Tsuyosuke and became the director of the intelligence bureau herself.

Regarding the particularity of Makakku Daiko, Megumi Kurama intends not to let anyone disturb him, because he knows that anyone who meets Daigu will ask questions about Ultraman Tiga. Dagu just wanted to be an ordinary person, and he didn't want to get involved in any more problems with Ultraman Tiga, but the young man in front of him ......

"I didn't get the permission to meet alone. Even if I agree with you to go to see the real horn Dagu, but Dagu must agree with you. If he doesn't like you, you don't have the right to go and see him, even if I agree to it. Megumi said lightly.

Ye Yifan frowned when he heard this. It's true that it has a good relationship with Megumi in the middle.,But it doesn't have any intersection with the predecessors of Dagu.,Even the other party doesn't know what kind of person he is.。 The chances of him agreeing with Ye Yifan are too small......

"I have already told him about your situation, and I am sure that I will get an answer soon." Sensing the concerns in Ye Yifan's heart, Megumi said with a smile. "Of course, we'll have to wait until this incident is resolved."

Is this a quest reward? But even if he hasn't received a positive answer yet, Ye Yifan has motivation. As long as you can see the True Horn Great Gu, you may be able to know how to get Tiga's battle body, so that it will not be corrupted by the primeval ones.

Then there was no conversation, and just like they were on their way to Miskatonic University, the two finally arrived in Massachusetts on a three-hour flight, and then a two-hour train ride to Newbury Port.

There is a temporary camp for the TPC and a cordon to seal off Innsmouth. Ye Yifan learned that to get to Innsmouth, he had to take a local bus to get there. Although you can drive there directly, this operation is a secret sneak-in, so you can only follow the rules in order not to reveal your identity.

After having dinner here, Ye Yifan changed into the British trench coat he bought from Arkham, and at the same time added a gun bag filled with a GUTS Rhea gun to the clothes on his chest. Megumi changed into ordinary civilian clothes and carried a large box with all the equipment needed for the investigation.

Disguised as travelers, the two of them arrived near evening in front of the Hammerton Pharmacy on Market Square, where Innsmouth Station was located. While waiting for the bus, Ye Yifan noticed that many idlers had avoided and gathered elsewhere on the street, obviously disgusted by everything about Innsmouth.

Soon after, an extremely shabby and dirty gray bus "creaked" by. Ye Yifan felt that the car was like a tractor in the last century, running slowly and pulling his crotch. At this point, it wondered if the bus had been driven for decades and had never been changed.

Then the bus drove down the road, and with that clattering sound, Ye Yifan was afraid that it would fall apart after driving a few miles, but fortunately, the bus turned a corner and stopped steadily in front of the two.

On the windshield of the bus is a slightly illegible sign that reads "Arkham – Innsmouth – Newburyport", indicating that this is a bus bound for Innsmouth.

Before the two of them could board the bus, the driver rushed down and walked into the pharmacy. At this time, both of them saw the driver's face, gloomy and expressionless, with strange-looking, deeply sunken folds on the sides of the neck. A pair of bulging, grayish blue eyes that never seemed to blink, and a flat nose, as if the skin had peeled off from some strange skin disease.

His ears also don't seem to be developed, but the main thing is that he has no hair!

Ye Yifan was fine, but Megumi Juma had a spontaneous disgust that could neither be suppressed nor explained. She knew it was the "Innsmouth face", and people hated Innsmouth as well, and they didn't want to see such a weird, dead fish face all day long.

When the driver came back from the pharmacy, the two also observed the driver's overall appearance more carefully. Very thin, hunched over, close to 1.8 meters tall, wearing shabby civilian attire. The hands are large and full of blood vessels, and the fingers are somewhat short compared to the rest of the palms, taking on a very unusual blue-gray color. And it always seems to curl towards the center of the huge palm.

His gait was a little strange, and the soles of his feet seemed a little overly large. The whole exudes a greasy feeling, which is different from the greasy of middle-aged and old men, but like the weird feeling after the death of a fish.

Ye Yifan felt that he was transforming into a half-human, half-fish alien deep diver, maybe he was a deep diver disguised as a human, just like the ghouls in Luoguang Mountain.

After the driver got into the car, Megumi paid the fare, and the two found a seat and sat down. The saddle is also extremely simple, and it feels like sitting on a piece of soft plastic, and the seat will break as long as you exert a little effort, so neither of them dares to make any big moves.

There were only two of them on this bus. The driver didn't seem to want to have too much eye contact with them, and after waiting for the specified time, the dilapidated old car started with a sudden shock, and Ye Yifan was also caught off guard and stuffed into the seat, which was too fragile.

After a cloud of steam spewed from the exhaust pipe, the bus rattled through the streets on either side with a clattering noise. Ye Yifan glanced at the people on the side of the road, feeling that they were all strangely unwilling to look at the bus, or at least avoiding it.

Ye Yifan didn't care, the car quickly drove onto the avenue, the route became smoother, and finally drove a section through the seaside and the open countryside. The scenery here is very good, but the sound of the bus "sizzling" and the tractor are so crotch-pulling that the two of them can hardly think.

The weather should be warm and sunny as the season approaches May, but as the car progresses, the landscape of sand, reeds and low shrubs gradually becomes desolate. Dead stumps stood on the quicksand, crumbling foundation walls, like the ancient legends of the Evil Tome.

Then the bus drove on the rudimentary wooden bridge in the tidal gully, and the gully washed by the tide below the bridge penetrated deep into the land shore. Ye Yifan and Juma Huixin were hanging, afraid that the wooden bridge would break or the car would fall apart, and they would both have to fall into the sea to feed the fish.

Then the road began to climb steeply upwards, as if the bus would continue to climb upward, and a strange anxiety and uneasiness filled Megumi Kuruma's heart. To their left is the vast, empty Atlantic Ocean and in front of them are the desolate mountains.

The smell of the sea carries an ominous connotation, and the rutted road finally merges with the sky at the top of the mountain, with some unknown secrets in the mysterious sky and high above.

The driver's back also became very hateful, and the stiff and stiff silent back and narrow head always exuded a certain sluggish, strange smell......

Both seemed to have forgotten the existence of time, neither of them knew how long the car had been driving, and just as the bones were about to fall apart with the dilapidated bus, they finally arrived at the rumored town of Innsmouth!

It was a large, densely built town, but it had an ominous death that could not see any living creatures, and the air was filled with a damp stench. Large, crowded, loosely folded roofs and pointed gables convey an unpleasantly clear sense of moth-eaten and dilapidated condition.

The bus drove along an abandoned, rusty, overgrown road into town, and the two saw a sandy breakwater ending in ruins, a few dilapidated huts, a few small fishing boats moored and shrimp pots.

There is also a long black line slightly above the water in the distant sea, and that is the Devil's Reef unique to Innsmouth. It exudes a strange and imperceptible sinister smell, so that when Megumi sees it, the disgust and rejection in her heart seem to be mixed with some subtle and strange yearning.

Ye Yifan knew that the Demon Reef had held cult ceremonies, and had also boarded some unspeakable existences. Maybe..... This event was also a ritual performed by the Innsmouth on the Devil's Reef.

Then the car continued to move forward, and the two saw many ruined abandoned farms, which may be evidence left over from the army's sweep. Although I didn't meet many people along the way, I finally noticed an inhabited house.

It resembles Arkham's house, but it is much more dilapidated, with dilapidated windows stuffed with rags and a littered courtyard littered with shells and dead fish. Some of the houses were apparently deserted, with occasional gaps between them, and everything permeated the most disgusting smell of fish imaginable.

Some listless people toiled in the barren fields or dug for shells on the fish-smelling sand, and a few groups of dirty, monkey-like children played near the weedy doorways. For some reason, these people seem more disturbing than the bleak buildings.

Like the drivers, they ..... Probably all deep divers.

When he was about to arrive at his destination, Ye Yifan saw that Megumi Kuruma obviously showed a very strong disgust for this place. If Ye Yifan wasn't an ancient person, maybe the reaction would be even more intense than her, because it was too sinister here.

Then, as the car pulled to an intersection, the two saw a huge pillared auditorium. The white paint on the building's exterior has turned gray and is mostly peeling. The black and gold signboard on the gable of the building has also faded, but four words can be seen - Dagon Esoteric Cult!

The door to the crypt of the church was open at the time, revealing a rectangular black hole in the interior. Then the two saw an Innsmouth man wearing a golden crown and a red robe, who appeared to be a priest......

Megumi had a very bad feeling when she saw the priest, and her whole body trembled like seeing a nightmare.

And Ye Yifan also saw that the priest smiled maliciously at them, and the weird smile like a dead fish was enough to remind people of the weird story of madness and collapse.

Just after Ye Yifan shuddered, the priest had already escaped into the deep and strange darkness of the church......
