No.198 A journey to the abyss

8 a.m., Newbury Port City TPC Camp........

Entering the summer, the city in the early morning does not belong to the summer heat, but is filled with a strange coolness. The sky was gray, and there was no trace of the sun in sight, as if on the eve of a storm......

A bizarre incident has taken place here, and around the world.

In the aftermath of the events in Innsmouth, there was another global outbreak of mass delirium that night, and even the TPC staff stationed at the camp were not spared. When Ye Yifan and Megumi Juma returned, they saw that the staff were jumping and howling, as if they were in an endless carnival of indulgence.

In addition to the TPC staff, there are also the residents of Newbury Port. It was an indescribable and depicted scene, a large group of people jumping and writhing sickly. After the rest of the normal people saw that crazy scene, the people with good will just shook their bodies dizzily, and the people with bad will fainted directly.

The rest of the people were so frightened that they let out a panicked scream, which was fortunately drowned out by the frenzied noise of the carnival.

That scene, Ye Yifan and Megumi feel terrifying when they think about it. If humans have a human-specific voice, and beasts have a beast-specific voice, but when one voice shouts out another different kind of voice, things get creepy.

The roaring and chanting frenzy tore through the dark city like a storm of pain from the depths of hell, elevating the indulgences of men's fury and carnival rituals to a demonic height.

Sometimes the crying stops, but then there is a chorus of hoarse voices. The choruses would burst into a pause in the weeping, chanting the chilling words or rituals like a song:

Ph'ngluimglw'nafhCthulhuR'lyehwgah'naglfhtagn

Yes, when Ye Yifan heard this, it was hard to believe that this spell would come out of the mouths of ordinary humans. There is no doubt that they were influenced by L'Alaye.

And Cthulhu is telling the world that it has always existed and will always be, that it will hide in the remote wilderness and dark corners of the world until it rises to rule the world in the dark mansions of its majestic underwater cities.

At that time, on the Devil's Reef, Ye Yifan was affected and saw those, but its sanity was not destroyed. It was supposed to return to camp early the next morning and clean up Innsmouth, but who knew that such a sudden event would happen.

The two of them immediately returned to Innsmouth in rowing boats, where most of the divers had escaped to the bottom of the sea, but some of the younger divers remained in town – their alien parts were not yet fully developed and could not adapt to life under the sea.

The young divers were amazed when they saw the two of them return from Devil's Reef, but they also had a premonition that the leader Dagon was dead, and that even the statue of Cthulhu and the two stone pillars had been destroyed. They didn't dare to make another attack on the two of them, and they all shrank in the dilapidated building, not even daring to poke their heads.

The young divers didn't know much information, and they had more human characteristics at this time, so Ye Yifan let them go, because it also found an older deep diver, who was the bus driver.

When Ye Yifan pulled it out, it was frightened, its body in shabby civilian clothes was constantly trembling on the ground, and its swollen and bulging white eyes were also telling two words - don't kill me!

Both found it a little ridiculous and asked the driver about the cause of the earthquake. The fact that the driver, as a deep diver, could speak English, and his voice was low and hoarse, but he could still understand it, which may have something to do with his profession, after all, he had to travel frequently between Arkham and Newburyport.

When the two asked it about the earthquake, it said that Ralaye had come up, but they hadn't summoned it. Ye Yifan also knew this, with a group of deep divers and a stone pillar, how could it be possible to lift the seal of Lalaiye?

Megumi asks why it is holding a ceremony, and catches the Brut team as a sacrifice. The driver replied that their people were serving the great beings of Larayeh, and that they had a premonition that Lallaye would rise above the sea, so they performed a ritual to summon the leader Dagon, who would lead them to see the true face of God.

As for sacrificing the Brut team, the Deep Diver didn't have that idea at first. They are very friendly with humans, otherwise they would not have mated with humans to make Innsmouth a city of deep divers, and for many years, it has been transporting the inhabitants of Arkham and Newburyport by bus, and there have been no human deaths or disappearances.

It's just that those Brut members from the United States have been beating and threatening the local residents with brutal methods since they entered Innsmouth, and even broke into the church of the Dagon Esoteric Sect.

Because the brute team broke the taboo of Innsmouth, the deep divers couldn't bear to arrest them all, for Ye Yifan and Megumi Juma, the deep divers knew early on that they belonged to the same group as the Brut team, but fortunately they were caught, but they didn't expect this move to cause disaster......

This statement reminded Ye Yifan of the ghouls on Luoguang Mountain, the situation of both was similar, they both stayed in their own territory until the human race broke in blindly and ignorantly.

Collective delirium has nothing to do with deep divers, and to put it bluntly, they just eat melons, so Megumi decided to let them go. The reason is what Ye Yifan said, their leader is dead, the stone pillar is also destroyed, and they can't do evil at all.

And they only stay in Innsmouth or under the sea, and rarely leave their territory. Out-of-towners are also very taboo about Innsmouth, and they probably won't set foot in this territory easily.

Megumi then warns the driver and sends him to Newbury Port overnight in the little broken car. When the two arrived, they saw the diabolical sight......

At the same time, the driver saw the sight, and thought that the great old ruler was about to awaken, and its hateful face showed a strange admiration and fanaticism.

Ye Yifan was not worried that they would bite humans in turn. It has to solve the Lalaye incident, and those divers who have lost Dagon and the Pillar can only survive on the spiritual sustenance of Cthulhu, and as long as they solve the deep divers, they can only stay at the bottom of the sea and in Innsmouth.

As for failing to deal with Cthulhu, then Cthulhu will dominate the land, and worry about those deep divers? Anyway, it doesn't make a difference, it's better to keep them and save some TPC bullets.

After returning to the TPC camp, it was already four o'clock in the morning, and Ye Yifan asked Megumi to go and rest first, after all, there was an investigation to be conducted the next day. As an ancient, Ye Yifan didn't need to rest at all, even if he didn't sleep, he could stay energetic, but fortunately, he took advantage of the evening to collect intelligence.

Along the way, Megumi didn't ask it about Ultraman Tiga, and when she returned to the camp, Ye Yifan finally couldn't help but ask her, and she smiled and said that she had already guessed about it, so at the moment of transformation, she didn't show a lot of shock.

Ye Yifan wanted to ask about Lalaye, after all, Megumi had been on that city, but it was too late to see that it was too late, so he decided to ask again the next day, and then stayed in front of the computer to inquire about Lalayer's information.

According to satellite positioning, at 47°9'S latitude and 126°43'W, there is a sudden extra coastline composed of silt, wetlands, moss and other huge rocks, which should be the undersea city of Lalaye.

Ralaye - Nightmare Body, terrifying. Countless centuries ago, its gigantic form, born from the dark stars, was built.

The mighty Cthulhu and his clan reside here, hidden in a moss-covered slippery crypt......

The correct position of the stars brought Lalaye to the surface, and the last time it surfaced was thirty years ago, when Cthulhu's heir, Gatanjee, the Ruler of Darkness, awoke from his slumber and dragged the world into the darkness of despair.

This time it is estimated that the one who woke up was Cthulhu, the old ruler who symbolized "water", Ye Yifan wanted to board Laleier and seal it again with the power of the primeval while it had not woken up, but Laleye was 5100 nautical miles away from the nearest city, and even the fastest sea ship would take ten days to arrive, and it was estimated that Cthulhu would have woken up long ago.

You can get there quickly by plane, but there are protruding stone pillars, and the plane can't land at all. In the case of abseiling by helicopter, evacuation must also be considered. Ye Yifan was also worried that that place might have a special magnetic field like the Bermuda Triangle, but he was afraid that the plane would crash into the sea before it flew over.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ye Yifan decided to call his teammates and let them take the GUTS Blade Dragon to transport the Black Whale submarine over. The Black Whale submarine with an electric impulse system has a strong driving force, and it only takes tens of minutes to reach Lalaye, and it can also spray electricity to paralyze the enemy in case of emergency, which can be described as the best choice.

After talking to Captain Don, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon when the GUTS Blade Dragon arrived in Newburyport. Even when the sun is at its highest, the gloom lingers in the city, the collective delirium of the citizens continues, and the frenzied chanting from the abyss of the sea still resounds throughout the sky.

There were four people who came, namely Du Fei, Han Qixuan, Ye Yan and Qiu Xuanming. Among them, the high-altitude wind and clouds have not yet woken up, and Du Fei and Han Qixuan's injuries are still very serious. One was covered in bandages, the other was wrapped in a mummy, and he was holding a cane, and he looked like he was struggling to walk.

The injuries on Ye Yan's body were not very serious, but his condition was not very good. Ever since he was hit by Tiga's explosive boxing, he felt like he had suffered an internal injury, and he was tired every two steps, and it was estimated that it would take a few days to adjust.

Qiu Xuanming is the one in the best condition. After the events of the King in Yellow, he knew that if the world was happening, it was everyone's business.

Some mistakes that seem to have nothing to do with you will one day spread to you. Instead of paying the price for your mistakes, you should put that price on correcting them. The former is a crime, while the latter is an honor.

When he proposed to go to Lalaye with Ye Yifan, the latter was startled, but Ye Yifan finally decided to let him stay in the camp, because the delirium incident still needed to be dealt with, and the seriously injured Han Qixuan and the others obviously couldn't deal with it.

So in the end, it was the old lineup, with Megumi and Ye Yifan going to Laleier as a Black Whale submarine, trying to seal it before Cthulhu woke up.

"I think it's better for us to be cautious." Sitting in the wheelhouse of the Black Whale submarine, Megumi looked at Ye Yifan who was on the side and said. "There's still enough time, we should arrange for more people to go to Luluye to investigate. Even if you're Ultraman Tiga, it's still too dangerous for the two of us to go to Luluye. ”

"Are small Zogara, Star Clan, Cthulhu, etc. dangerous?" Ye Yifan debugged the submarine data and replied nonchalantly. "Actually, it seems to have a lot of time, but in fact we don't have a lot of time. The Necronomicon records that when the stars are in the right position, the Old Ruler will awaken from Luluye. And it's less than eight hours before the stars get to the right place. ”

Saying that, Ye Yifan looked at Megumi and smiled helplessly: "In the past eight hours, we can't be fully prepared at all, so we can only solve the biggest risk at the smallest cost." ”

Megumi understood what Ye Yifan meant by the smallest price. Because she had been on Lalaye before, she was familiar with the environment there, so that she would not go insane and would prevent her from getting lost and losing time. And Ye Yifan is Ultraman Tiga, who has the power to fight against danger. Such a break is undoubtedly the best combination to explore Lalleye.

"Alright, as long as the Old Ruler doesn't fully wake up, I'll be sure to seal it safely! Now, let's go! ”

After speaking, under the gaze of the Neo-GUTS team members, the huge black submarine immediately sank to the surface of the sea, and the faintly revealed blue light indicated that the black whale submarine had activated the electric impulse system.

They're already on their way to L'Ralaye......
