Seeing Zhou Qiong leave, Ni Ya couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and sad. She and the other party hid in the cellar for several days to survive together, during which time they were inseparable and already had some feelings. Now seeing that the other party resolutely chose to commit suicide, Ni Ya is really a little difficult to accept.

"It's all her own choice. Let's go, don't waste time. Lu Qing turned around and pushed open the door of the church, Ni Ya looked at the other party with mixed emotions, only feeling that this man named Lu Qing was like an emotionless machine, even after knowing what happened to Zhou Qiong, Xu Rui and others, he didn't even show half of his emotion. And he handed Liu Dequan over to Zhou Qiong to dispose of, but it was just a matter of convenience.

But even so, now that the other party is the only one who has returned safely from that mountain, looking at his appearance, it seems that he already knows something. Whether he can leave alive or not depends on Lu Qing. Thinking of this, Ni Ya sighed and entered the church with him.

"By the way, did you see Lin Jie on the way here?" Ni Ya and Lu Qing walked side by side in the corridor, as if they felt that the atmosphere around them was too quiet and weird, and this man never said a word, in desperation, she had to open her mouth to break the silence, wanting to talk about something to relieve the depression in her heart.

She said to herself: "We watched the four of them enter the church, but in the end only Liu Dequan ran out. When Zhou Qiong was extorting a confession, he also said that it turned out that Yin Xiong had always been disguised as a ghoul, and in the underground of the church, it killed Meng Yu. In this way, Lin Jie's whereabouts are unknown......"

"I haven't seen him." Lu Qing cut the railway.

"Oh, that's supposed to be dead in this. It is also dangerous for such a person to live. He also had a share in Xu Rui's death, and now he has ended up in this fate, which can be regarded as retribution. Ni Ya said, stopped at the door of a dark chapel, pointed inside, and said, "This is it." ”

Lu Qing shone the torch under his feet, and here there was a hideous blood mark, stretching from the room all the way to the corridor, until it disappeared at the end of the corner in front of him. When they reached the cellar, they probed down with torches, and soon they saw a large patch of stained blood on the top of the steps.

Needless to say, someone must have been killed here, and the corpse was dragged out of the hallway by the ghouls.

Lu Qing couldn't help but squint his eyes, a hungry ghoul, after biting the prey to death, did not immediately rush to enjoy the delicious food in place, but dragged it away from the ground, so it seems that there is something hidden under this that makes it afraid?

Combined with the strong, terrifying, and almost suffocating sense of oppression in the basement that Ni Ya mentioned before, Lu Qing can be sure that "it" must be here.

Lu Qing held a torch in his hand and slowly took steps towards the steps.

"What kind of monster left this?" Deep in the mountains, Dai Shikai, Xu Zhen and Bei Qi searched for a way up the mountain along the river, but found huge intermittent footprints in the forest.

The footprints look like amphibians, with webbed soles and a little pattern of walking, more like jumping forward than walking. As a result, these footprints sink deep into the ground, each of which is as deep as three to five meters.

There was a faint fishy smell in the air, which seemed to be the remnants of this monster. Dai Shikai looked at those footprints silently, got up and said to Xu Zhen and them: "This thing should come down from the mountain." ”

"Kai, do you know what kind of monster this is?" Seeing that his face was not good, Betsy couldn't help but be a little worried: "On the way here, we have already found traces of two kinds of monsters, what is there on the mountain that attracts them?" There will be no danger ...... the clearance."

"Let's go, it's getting dark." Dai Shikai walked forward with his bag on his back without saying a word, in the thick fog, his back looked a little thin, Xu Zhen sighed, knowing that once the other party was iron-hearted, no matter how much you asked, he couldn't ask why, so he had to comfort Betsy not to worry too much.

Unknowingly, it was getting late, and Xu Zhen originally wanted to propose to find a place to rest, but Dai Shikai was like a demon, and he only wanted to go up the mountain wholeheartedly. Even though he knew that traveling at night was full of danger, he still had no intention of stopping.

"Time is running out......" When Xu Zhen asked him, the other party just muttered such an inexplicable sentence.

"Akai, I know you're in a hurry, but now it's getting dark, and rushing up the mountain by relying on the light source will only attract the attention of the monster. I'm also thinking about everyone's safety! Xu Zhen grabbed his shoulder and said eagerly.

Dai Shikai's face turned pale, his eyes stared at the depths of the fog in front of him, and then he came back to his senses and said tremblingly: "Brother Xu Zhen, we must quickly find Brother Qing and them!! Time...... He's running out of time......"

"Lu Qing is in danger?" As soon as Xu Zhen heard him say this, his expression immediately sank. He turned on the flashlight in his hand, frowned, and said, "Okay, let's continue on our way." But this time, you must tell me clearly what happened to Lu Qing. ”

"Thank you." Dai Shikai knew that Xu Zhen had no obligation to accompany him with his precious life to venture to find Lu Qing, and now that the other party was doing this, he really didn't know what to say except thanks.

Betsy followed them silently, her eyes very determined. Since something happened to Lu Qing, of course he would not sit idly by.

As Dai Shikai walked, he said to them in an extremely heavy and slow voice: "This footprint on the ground should be left by the [Deep Diver]. ”

Deep divers are a race of subordinate servants in the Cthulhu mythos, they are a humanoid race that lives at the bottom of the sea, with a fish-headed human appearance and gills on the neck.

The monsters that Lu Qing and the others saw in the fog before, as well as those who left these footprints on the ground, were deep divers.

"Is every deep diver that big?" Betsy gasped, judging from the footprints, the size of this deep diver was about 20 feet, if there was more than one such monster coming down the mountain, where would the dreambreakers survive?

"Of course not." Dai Shikai smiled bitterly, but this smile was very reluctant: "The size of the deep diver is about the same as our normal people, in fact, the deep diver can give birth to hybrid offspring with humans. After the birth of a human being who inherits the bloodline of the "Deep Diver", although their appearance is no different from that of ordinary people for a certain period of time, they will become more and more ugly after reaching a certain age. Then, they will suddenly usher in a transformation phase that lasts for about 2 months, turning into monsters and jumping into the sea. ”

Speaking of this, Dai Shikai looked at the foot of the mountain behind him and said to Betsy and Xu Zhen: "As long as the deep diver is not killed, he will not die a natural death. The same goes for their half-blooded offspring. These mixed-race descendants generally live in seaside villages far from the populace...... So, now you know why this town is in ruins. ”

In the pitch-black water, a pair of scarlet eyes are like blood lanterns in the dark night, emitting a strange light under the turbulent sea. Black figures swim through the water, and they once lived on the islands, where they lived as humans.

Now, they have long since metamorphosed into deep divers, called by the deep sea, forgetting their past, and gathering together to worship the great old rulers......
