"Good, good ......"

The old man put down his clothes, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a puff, "My name is Angie, they all call me crazy Angie, but I know I'm not crazy...... No one believed what I said...... You want to know the truth here? ”

Rorschach nodded.

"It wasn't like this in the town of Imoka a long, long time ago......," Old Man Angie exhaled a smoke, a look of nostalgia in his eyes, "When I was a child, I lived a poor but stable life, and I would go to church every day to pray that there would be fish and shrimp in the sea, but with the large-scale fishing, the fish and shrimp became less and less, and no matter how much I prayed, it no matter how much I prayed, it no longer worked. Suddenly one day when we were in the church, Captain Gambalo came, and he said that God had given up on this place a long time ago, and that prayer would not be effective at all, and the priest was against him, but he said that he could prove it to us. ”

"He believes in the god of the sea?" Rorschach asked.

"Yes." Old man Anji nodded, "He believes in the god of the sea, and at the Devil's Reef on the island, he performed the ceremony, and the next day, we caught fish at the dock...... And gold......"

"Gold?" Rorschach frowned.

"It's gold, gold, gold...... Hehe......" The old man Anji smiled wryly, "the gold is very valuable, everyone is crazy, for the gold they gave up their faith, smashed everything related to God, converted to the god of the sea, became its believer, and Gambalo also became the priest of the god of the sea......"

With a distressed expression on his face, Old Man Angie continued:

"But one day, the gold was gone...... If we want to continue to get fish and gold, we have to make sacrifices to the god of the sea, and the tribute is human ......"

"Sacrifice humans!?" Paul exclaimed, "Is it alive? ”

"Yes." Old man Anji closed his eyes and sighed, "My parents were treated as tribute because they didn't believe in the god of the sea...... Since then, they have been making sacrifices every once in a while, but as fewer people do not believe in the god of the sea, they begin to kidnap travelers and crew members passing through the Incabo. ”

"Then why didn't you die?" Paul asked.

"Me?" The old man turned his head and laughed miserably, "Because I smoke and drink heavily...... They don't think I'm worthy to be dedicated to the god of the sea. ”

Rorschach asked:

"Do the port towns at the northern end of the island have their people?"

"Nope." Old man Anji shook his head, "They won't be away from Imoca Town for too long, because their identities will be revealed. ”

"Why?"

"They began to mutate...... "Old man Anji's eyes showed horror, "they have become monsters that are not human, fish are not fish, and when they are completely mutated, they will return to the sea." ”

"What is Poseidon?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it, it is said that the person who saw the sea god was either crazy or dead."

"Since they're not going to Port Town, why don't you get out of here?"

"This is my home, and ...... I've been waiting for the day when I'll see them exterminated with my own eyes. ”

"When will they perform the sacrificial rites?"

"A day or two after you catch someone."

"So Barbara is still alive?" When Paul heard this, he hurriedly asked.

"I don't know." Old man Angie shook his head.

Rorschach nodded, deciding to take Paul back to the port town first, and then contact Stryker to send reinforcements to find Wolverine and the kidnapped girl on the back.

"We're getting out of here, will you come with us?"

"I'm not leaving......," Old Man Anji shook his head, and then persuaded, "Now that they are searching for you all over the town, it will be difficult for you to escape." ”

"It's okay, they can't catch us, do you know where the cars are parked?"

"There's a parking lot at the north exit of town, and they'll park there."

"Understood."

After a short rest, Rorschach took Paul out of the warehouse, avoided the fishermen who were hunting them in the town, and went to the North Exit parking lot to find the pickup he had rented, and Rorschach drove the pickup to the port town at the northern end of the island.

It was already more than ten o'clock in the evening when I returned to the port town, due to the storm in the evening, the streets were deserted at this time, and there was no one in sight.

Rorschach drove the pickup truck to a stop on the side of the road in front of the hotel, and Paul followed him out of the pickup.

He looked around and asked:

"Are we safe now?"

"It's safe." Rorschach replied. Although he said this, he was still careful, this place is far away from the town of Impoca, and the old man Angie also said that the fishermen will not leave the town, but he thinks it is not so simple.

"Aren't we going to call the police?" Paul looked at Rorschach in bewilderment.

"Nope." Rorschach shook his head and said, "The cult of Impoca Town can exist on this island for so long, and I am worried that the local government has actually colluded with them. ”

"So what do we do? It's not safe to stay here, is it? ”

Paul paced up and down the pickup, looked at Rorschach, looked in the direction of the docks, and said anxiously, "We can't get out of here by boat now." ”

"Go back to the hotel first, I'll find a boat to pick us up."

"Do you have a way to get out of here?"

"Yes." Rorschach nodded.

"Oh, that's great!" Paul clenched his fists, but only after a moment of excitement, he lowered his eyes and was in a depressed mood, "But...... Barbara didn't know if it was life or death. ”

"Don't worry." Rorschach patted him on the shoulder, "I'll go back to her." ”

"Huh?!" Paul was stunned, "Aren't you going to leave this hellish place?" ”

"I also have friends who fell into the hands of those monsters." Rorschach replied calmly, but he had faith in Wolverine, Wolverine would not be easily caught by the cult, so there must be some other reason for this.

"Isn't that too dangerous? You'd better get out of here with me. ”

"Alright, let's go in first."

With that, Rorschach walked towards the hotel.

Walking into the hotel, he found that there was no reception behind the front desk.

Paul leaned on the front desk and looked left and right, grabbed the landline next to the front desk, and tried to call for help, but there was only a beep sound in the earpiece, and he couldn't make the call.

"The landline doesn't work." Paul turned to look at Rorschach.

"I see." Rorschach nodded, about the same as he had expected.

Taking Paul to the third-floor guest room, Rorschach took the radio out of his duffel bag and began to try to contact the transport.

Paul stood aside and looked at Rorschach fiddling with the radio with a look of surprise.

"You...... Are you an agent? ”

"Yes." Rorschach took the headset away and answered, then continued to turn the knob to adjust the signal.

"I'll just say, you're really not an ordinary person." Paul thought for a moment and said, "Great, are you contacting Sam's Country?" Will they come to our rescue? That...... Then Barbara will be saved...... Great, great! ”

Rorschach put down the headset and shook his head.

"The radio station is also not in use, and we can't get in touch with the outside world for the time being."

"What!?" Paul was stunned, "What can I do about this?" ”

"Don't worry, there will be a way."

Rorschach didn't tell Paul that the transport was not far from the port, and that there was a speedboat parked at the docks, so it wasn't too hard to get out of here.

"So, what do we do next?"

"Wait a minute."

"What are you waiting for?" Paul was puzzled.

Rorschach narrowed his eyes, stared at the door of the guest room, and said lightly:

"Someone's coming."

"Huh? Who is it? Paul quickly turned his head to look at the door.

Knock, knock, knock!

There was a sharp knock on the door.

"Police, temporary inspection, hurry up and open the door!"
