An eerie full moon hung in the night sky, and a miserable white light appeared and disappeared through the slow-moving black clouds, barely illuminating the filthy ground of Innsmouth.

There was no movement in the streets, and the cold wind and cold night fog whistled through the scattered buildings. It seemed that in the dilapidated building, there were countless pairs of white eyes that pierced through the night mist, emitting an eerie light......

The night in Innsmouth was eerily quiet, and the innkeeper had told him not to turn on the lights, so the whole room was shrouded in eerie darkness. In this darkness, Megumi Kuruma's whole body was bubbling with a burst of cold air, and her scalp was numb.

Everything was damp, and it seemed as if the fishy smell of Innsmouth had corroded every part of the land, causing a suffocating smell in the air.

Megumi Kuma couldn't see any scenery anymore, and could only see Ye Yifan's thinking face through the faint white light emitted by the private terminal, but it seemed that by doing so, the atmosphere was even more weird and terrifying......

Thinking about Ye Yifan's words, Megumi felt a little frightened. Is that why the innkeeper told them not to stay? Because he knew that the secret church of Dagon used strangers as sacrifices to summon the Father Dagon.

If so, then it explains why the inhabitants of Innsmouth have grown into half-fish, half-human. Because they are close to the sea, they must have swam in rivers and harbors regularly, and many of them frequently swam to Devil's Reef for evil rituals, and the "Innsmouth look" was supposed to be a strange disease with latent nature that would gradually manifest itself with age.

But one more point, if this is due to the latent disease caused by regular swimming, then why does this disease also change the bones of the human body? Even such drastic and radical changes were produced, including the skull becoming narrow and streamlined.

Sure enough, scientific speculation doesn't work in the face of such a bizarre force. That kind of change can only be said to be the influence of the dark forces.....

In fact, the hapless tourist in 1928 also recorded news about the Dagon Esoteric Cult. Locals were not allowed to linger for long periods of time around the Marsh Refinery, let alone around the Hall of the Dagon Order in the New Green Church. Because some of the most bizarre rituals and uniforms are used in these churches. ”

Ye Yifan took out the GUTS memory disk, and had saved the unlucky tourist's experience record in advance on it. It looked at the text and whispered: "Their teachings are both heretical and mystical, implying that people can attain ...... in the world through some miraculous transformation."

"In a way... Immortal Flesh?! ”

When he said this, Ye Yifan's expression became very strange, and Megumi Juma also widened her eyes in surprise. Because in a way, the immortal body should refer to the strange body of the Indosmouth. They...... Were they all transformed through the rituals of the Dagon Esoteric Cult?

Megumi Karuma could no longer imagine the abomination of the Innsmouth, especially the round eyes that never blinked and had never been seen closed before, and an outsider would be horrified at first sight. And the fat turned lips, the sound it makes may also be disgusting.

If the Innsmouth were cultists who caused collective delirium, it would have been a terrible experience to listen to them chanting chants at night.

"While it's night, I'd like to go to the church of the Dagon Esoteric Sect, there may be more clues there." Ye Yifan said and put away the GUTS memory disk. They had little time to leave, and if it was daylight, they would have to leave Innsmouth, and they would never have had the chance to enter the church again.

Megumi Juma was taken aback, and quickly stood up and said, "TPC prohibits acting alone!" And you still have a wound on your left hand, it's too dangerous to enter the church alone....."

Before the word "risk" was spoken, Megumi saw Ye Yifan grabbing the window edge with his right hand, and then jumped down from there. There was not a sound in the whole process, and there was not even a sound of landing in the past five seconds.

Megumi hurriedly ran to the window and found that Ye Yifan had already stood at the door of the hotel and made an "OK" gesture to herself. She also observed that there was no one on the filthy streets, and that the empty roads were only a hazy cold mist.

Next to the entrance of the inn is the owner's residence, but after a long time, the innkeeper did not go out to check. I don't know if I didn't see Ye Yifan, or if I didn't want to break the taboo of Innsmouth at all.....

Megumi sighed, it was too late for her to stop it now, but she also sighed a little at Ye Yifan's growth in recent days, obviously the San value was not high, and she would go crazy in the face of the poems on that volume, but now she was a little afraid of everything in Innsmouth, but Ye Yifan didn't seem to feel it at all.

Megumi could only let Ye Yifan go, and made a gesture at it to pay attention to safety, and then Ye Yifan ran in the direction of the Dagon Secret Sect, and its figure gradually disappeared in the cold night mist......

It was already ten thirty o'clock in the evening, and the cold wind howled coldly, and strange noises could be heard from time to time, but apart from these, there was silence in the cold streets.

The moonlight shines through the clouds, and even though there are no lights in Innsmouth, you can still see the street scene. The white light shone under the dilapidated houses, creating thick shadows and exuding an aura of terror. The wind could smell the smell of dampness, and the cold of the night mist penetrated Ye Yifan's body and pierced into his bones.

Obviously it didn't rain, but the clothes on Ye Yifan's body were wet, and even the hair oozed tiny droplets, as if they had been washed by the rain.

This strange town is even more ominous at night, and there are no pedestrians on the streets, but Ye Yifan always feels that there is always a pair of white eyes staring at him in that dark corner.

Ye Yifan didn't understand those deep divers either, they were as sneaky as animals living in caves, and they didn't seem to want to be seen by outsiders. Ye Yifan also found it hard to imagine how they passed the time in addition to their intermittent and casual fishing work.

It's useless to think about it, they're all going to have to be shoveled anyway. Ye Yifan just wanted to understand the ritual of those deep divers to transform humans, and then use the power of the primeval to transform the inhabitants of Innsmouth back, otherwise it would be too cruel to slaughter a town, it didn't want to see the tragedy of Shimmer City happen to other places, even if it was a city full of aliens.

Finally, after passing through a few blocks, Ye Yifan saw the low stone church. It was built in a clumsy Gothic style, with an unproportionately high pedestal and shuttered windows. In the moonlight, the tall building was blurred by the darkness, and from a distance, it looked like a bloody fish's face.

For some reason, the door to the basement of the church was not closed, as if it was known that Ye Yifan was coming, it was wide open, exuding an extremely sharp and intense and terrifying scene at the same time.

Ye Yifan didn't have the slightest fear, as an ancient person, he was not afraid of deep divers at all. Just as it was about to enter the church, a solemn noise suddenly came from overhead.

Ye Yifan looked up and caught a glimpse of a huge pendulum clock on the top of the church, although the hand of the clock dial on the side he saw had been lost, but the piercing bell told it that it was already eleven o'clock at this moment.

Time has no meaning in front of the one who is one, and Ye Yifan calmly walked into the door of the basement. Below is a long staircase that leads to the unfathomable darkness of fear.

There is no light source, but Ye Yifan doesn't need a light source either, it can see very clearly in the dark. The staircase was covered with water stains, which seemed to be seawater, because Ye Yifan could smell the fishy smell of the sea. It gradually descended, sensing the presence of the diver by inspiration, but there seemed to be no one else here.

It's as if Ye Yifan is alone, gradually walking towards the darkness, like an abyss leading to hell......

I don't know how long it took to walk, Ye Yifan finally came to an end. The basement was not as small as it thought, but as wide as a football field. The first thing it saw was a huge stone pillar, fifty meters high, emitting an eerie white glow.

When Ye Yifan saw this stone pillar, he understood that it was not an ordinary boulder, because it had a statue on the top. The octopus-like head and curled wings are exactly what Cthulhu is all about.

The boulder's sheen, a bright, eerie glow, spilled over the walls around the basement. It's all damp and water-stained, like you've entered a damp cave.

Ye Yifan first looked at the rough carvings and runes on the surface of the wall. Those things are not words that have appeared in human history, but should be words that are unique to deep divers. The words are like stick figures, and Ye Yifan recognizes fish, eels, octopuses, shells, etc., but some of the words are aquatic species unknown to the modern world.

It can decipher the text, but what is more noticeable is the engraving on it. It depicts robed divers with webbed hands and feet, fat lips, and dull bulging eyes.

It saw the divers culling whales several times their size, and the divers bowing to the crouching Cthulhu.

But the most important thing is that Ye Yifan recognized the truth about Innsmouth. Because judging by the murals, the group of deep divers are trading with humans. The Deep Divers ensure the prosperity of Innsmouth, and the Humans have to reproduce with the Deep Divers to ensure that their race does not die.

Deep divers, on the other hand, will disguise themselves as humans. They are more handsome than ordinary people, so that humans are willing to mate with them. That's why Ye Yifan saw some people on the street who looked more beautiful than stars.

As for the offspring of the cross between humans and deep divers, they are no different from humans at first, but as they grow older, they will gradually change into the appearance of deep divers, and as for the older offspring, they will completely become deep divers and can only live on the bottom of the sea.

This is the reason why the people of Innsmouth have a fish face, and it is also the reason why Ye Yifan and Megumi did not see the old man. Because those old people have gone to live at the bottom of the sea.

But it's a pity to think about it, Innsmouth is completely devoid of humans who have survived to this day, they are all descendants of deep divers, and this town is all half-man, half-fish deep divers!

Those people can't turn back into humans, because they have the stinking blood of the Deep Divers in their bones, and the primeval ones can't change their bloodlines, so they can only be destroyed......

Thinking about it, Ye Yifan sighed and looked at the huge stone pillar again. It contains spells and rituals about deep divers.

Divers go to Devil's Reef for cult rituals on April 30 and November 31 because that's their revival day. Lalaye will rise from the bottom of the sea, and the great Cthulhu will pull everyone into a dream.

"April 30th...... April 30th! ”

Ye Yifan remembered this day, and in history, this day was also the night of Valpurgis. The cults secretly held ceremonies at night, went to the sacred mountain to offer sacrifices and burned bonfires, and the legend of the resurrection of the devil was born. And April 30 is also known as the Devil's Carnival.

Ye Yifan's head was buzzing, it remembered that today was April 29th, as long as it was past twelve o'clock, then today would be the day of the ceremony for the deep divers!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The heavy rhythm came from an unknown place, hitting Ye Yifan's mind like a wave. It remembers the sound, the pendulum clock on the roof of the church. This voice sounded, which means that the time is now 12 o'clock in the evening, and it has reached the agreed April 30th!

Suddenly, Ye Yifan noticed a "pop" sound behind it, and it suddenly looked back. With the eerie sheen of the stone pillar, it saw a pair of godless eyes glowing with white light, and a fish face covered in scales!

It's a deep diver!
