Chapter 44: Deep Sea Town
Half-fish-man loaded, the fish-man freighter rises and falls in the stormy waves.
It's clearly full of holes, but it's just hanging on to it, and it can't sink it.
Anderson, who infiltrated the ship's cabin, found the reason.
On the screen of the phone, there were wriggling masses of tan flesh that stuck to the broken parts of the ship's hull, most of which were soaked in seawater and looked like inflated rubber pads that were forcibly propping up the freighter.
That's all there is to it, what really makes the two of them extra concerned is the large number of oval ovates that appear between the flesh masses.
They are generally adult-sized, and fill the crevices of the lumps throughout the meat.
Inside, there is a human figure floating in black shadows.
"I've sensed it closely, and these eggs are full of people, and I can faintly see them wearing the crew's clothes, and I suspect they're creating mutant half-fishmen in this way. Something similar happened on the EU side, but it was a town that suddenly appeared, and there were also fishmen in it, and it was closely related to the Tai Sui organization. ”
Swiping the screen of the mobile phone, Anderson showed the photos taken to Yan Jing and said in a deep voice,
"No trace of the Tai Sui organization members has been found, and the ship seems to be being remotely controlled to move somewhere."
The United States also participated in the exchange meeting before the League of Nations meeting, and the information obtained included information about Fish-Man Town.
Anderson probed the situation in the cabin and did not choose to resolve it violently, apparently having the same considerations as Yan Jing.
The freighter, which sank half a month ago, resurfaced from the bottom of the sea, and the crew inside became like this.
"In that case, just wait, it will get us to our destination."
Taking out the lucky compass and glancing at the pointer, confirming the direction of the freighter's travel, the official gathering point of the world's origin energy, Yan Jing raised his hand and released a talisman with a hidden aura, enveloping the stern of the ship.
Tai Sui's organization arranges for the freighter to move forward in this way, which is bound to have ulterior motives.
Rash destruction will startle the snake, so simply take a boat over and give Tai Sui a small surprise.
With a concealment charm, the two easily boarded the "convenient boat", Yan Jing sat on the side of the boat, took out some snacks from the torch space and placed them aside, and handed Anderson a bottle of juice.
The wind and rain fell near the two of them and slid away on their own, as if holding up an invisible umbrella.
The low-level cult on the ship was completely unaware of the vision at the stern, and just continued to move on its own, wandering blindly.
Taking a sip of juice, Yan Jing stroked the tiger firefly in his arms, his face pondering, guessing what the Tai Sui Organization wanted to do in the waters of the Bermuda Triangle, and the behemoth sea beast that flashed in the video for a few seconds and could cause the starlight to distort appeared in his mind.
There was a brief silence.
Anderson asked with some hesitation,
"How is the layout of the domain gate in Shanqing City?"
"Not bad, at least better than expected. At present, it is limited to Sanqing City, and it is still too difficult to spread nationwide, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete it in the short term. ”
After testing, the Sealing Gate does have an extremely strong defense against spatial erosion.
Officials are very satisfied with this.
It's just that it's not easy to implement the domain gate on a large scale.
Not to mention anything else, the various materials required to arrange the ritual circle alone are a lot of money, and Yan Jing's fire point was spent in the Great Expedition, and the thousands of points obtained in the follow-up could not support the huge effect at all.
Unless a large number of fire points are drawn from the official Abnormal Investigation Bureau, it will be difficult to achieve the goal in a short period of time, as Yan Jing said.
Fortunately, the official government has made up its mind to carry out the arrangement of the domain gate to completely isolate the possibility of high-level evil cults coming in the country.
"It is undoubtedly great news that the Sealing Gate can be smoothly arranged in this world, I noticed that the bearer of the power of faith you have chosen is yourself?"
That's what Anderson really wants to ask.
In the course of the previous League of Nations meeting, he used the teleportation hearth stone to exchange the details of the sealing gate with Yan Jing, and after this period of research, it was clear what was needed for the layout of the sealing door.
Turning to look at Yan Jing, Anderson did not hide the surprise in his eyes at all.
Despite his speculations, Anderson couldn't help but feel incredulous when he realized that the human being in front of him could withstand the faith of all peoples.
That's not something humans can do.
"If you want to fight against the evil in another space, you must find the right means, Shinto is my direction, the guardians of this planet passed one after another in ancient times, which gave the evil a chance to take advantage of the void, and if you want to change this state, you must fill the void left by the guardians."
Yan Jing knew that Anderson had already guessed, so he didn't defend it anymore, but said bluntly.
As for the guardian theory mentioned in these words, he came to the conclusion after reading the various notes left by the ancestors of the Mozhu Society, and there was only one way to fundamentally save the state of the present world.
"The United Federation wants to arrange the Domain Gate, I want to be the carrier, the name of Angel Dust still has some effect, but I don't know how to take that crucial step."
"You"
His eyes fell on the cross hanging from Anderson's chest, and Yan Jing couldn't help but be surprised by his sudden statement.
"My faith has never changed, and I know very well that God may have existed, but what ordinary people need today is not spiritual sustenance, but strong guardians."
If there was a better option than to seal the door, Anderson would never want to take that step.
Yan Jing nodded thoughtfully.
It's just that he can't help Anderson's plan, and the Dragon Tiger Yama statue can be said to be the key to Yan Jing's ability to get to where he is today, but the particularity of this exclusive legendary item is destined to be difficult for others to copy.
Yan Jing could only share some of the experiences he had explored with Anderson.
He was not afraid of another person who had set foot on Shinto in this world.
In the face of the alien alien monster that may invade on a large scale at any time, the more people who can fight alongside him, the better!
One word from you, one word from me.
The two of them just talking on a freighter full of evil monsters is a good way to pass the time.
However, as the freighter continued to move forward, the unexpected finally came.
After about half an hour, the two men in the stern of the ship could clearly feel the hull tremble, and the twisted flesh mass at the bottom of the cabin seemed to have been stimulated in some way, and began to multiply wildly.
Dozens of tentacles protruded from the gaps on both sides of the hull, clinging to the edge of the ship's side.
Some of them rush into the sea, intertwining with each other, and eventually turning into octopus tentacles to stir the sea.
At this time, the freighter was like a monster made of steel and flesh and blood, and its slow speed soared in an instant, and even the fish people everywhere on the deck were crying out as if they wanted to take stimulants.
"Looks like we're almost there."
Yan Jing stood on the guardrail at the stern of the boat, sensing the evil energy surging in his surroundings, his hands slanted into his pockets.
Suddenly, as if aware of it, his eyes fell on the sea in the distance, and his brows furrowed.
Bang~
Another thunderclap exploded.
The lightning turned the sea pale, but the dark shadows gradually magnified between the turbulent waves.
The tide rises abruptly, and then explodes.
In the splash of the sky, there was a wooden three-masted sailing ship rising from the ocean, and the hull of the ship, which had sunk at the bottom of the sea for an unknown period of time, was dilapidated, and even the core keel was broken in many places, and only a third of the hull remained.
The ghost ships in the fantasy movies are all well-preserved compared to it.
But even such a "tattered" can also sail on the sea at this moment, just like the freighter under the feet of Yan Jing and Anderson, its interior is also full of deformable meat balls, forcibly dragging it forward.
This is the beginning.
As time went on, the two men standing at the stern of the boat saw more and more wrecks breaking through the sea.
From ancient wooden sailing ships to modern cargo ships to new-style cargo ships, Yan Jing alone saw nearly ten shipwrecks forcibly dragged up from the bottom of the sea.
Tai Sui organization changed careers?
Rao is Yan Jing, who has dealt with cult organizations a lot, can't help but be a little dazed at this time.
What other special role can these sunken ships have.
Pile up together for a shipwreck exhibition?
No, it's not.
There are things on these wrecks, and there are swarms of fish-people.
They seem to have used the shipwreck as a stronghold, and the larger the shipwreck, the more fish-people there are.
Not only that, but as the distance got closer, Yan Jing keenly noticed that the shipwrecks, which were even older at a glance, seemed to have undergone some kind of change.
Not to mention the twisted flesh mass all over the hull, the hull itself, which has been eroded by evil energy for a long time, also takes on an extremely ominous fluorescent green color, which is extremely strange.
"Yan Jing, at twelve o'clock, there is light!"
Anderson, who was looking at the other side, suddenly reminded.
Yan Jing hurriedly turned around, and saw that there was actually a light on the sea in front of him, and it was not a small area of light spots, but a light source covering a wide area.
It's not like the light made by sea beasts.
Activating the [Penetration] feature again, the dark night suddenly became clear, and the light from a distance of kilometers was constantly amplified.
This is
A town suspended above the sea!
Yan Jing never expected that a large-scale town would appear in the depths of the Bermuda Triangle, and in addition to his surprise, he almost immediately thought of the fish-man town that had disappeared in the tide.
"It's time for us to get off the ship, the town ahead is probably the one that caused the EU a big loss in the first place, and I suspect that the members of the Tai Sui organization are preparing some kind of evil ritual in the town."
"Agreed."
With a telescope in his hand, Anderson's thoughts were similar to Yan Jing's.
The two jumped out of the freighter and disappeared into the wind and rain, while the freighter was still moving forward.
Ten minutes later.
Not only freighters, but other smaller shipwrecks were also leaning towards the lighted town.
The storm-shrouded town is surrounded by raging tides.
At first glance, it looks like it was built on an island.
If you get closer, you'll find a creeping mass of flesh beneath the buildings, tentacles stretching out from the edges of the sea like the roots of trees, and a pair of chaotic and crazy eyes rolling in the shadows.
They stared at the approaching shipwreck, as if they were expecting something.
There is also a lighthouse in the middle of the town, which casts the brightest light, and the surrounding lights are also densely lit, and everyone in the town gathers around the lighthouse.
The freighter finally approached the town, and there was no need for any docking and anchoring, and when the two were close, the twisted flesh at the bottom of the ship had already poked out to connect with the town.
Immediately after that, the deck at the front of the freighter was like dumplings, and a large number of fishmen landed in the town.
Their departure does not mean the end.
On the contrary, the freighter began to fall apart without passengers, not because the lumps of flesh in the cabin disappeared, but because the lumps of flesh multiplied more and more rapidly, seeping into every part of the ship, splitting the giant ship made of steel into thousands of huge steel plates or various machine parts.
Instead of falling directly into the sea, these parts were dismantled by the twisted flesh and dragged into the town, as were the other shipwrecks.
Every shipwreck that comes close to the town will be completely dismantled.
Hills of shipwreck fragments were piled up on the outskirts of the town, of all sizes and materials, and the old fragments, apparently eroded by the evil energy for a long time, were already ready to move.
It's just suppressed by some kind of energy, so for now these pieces are quietly piled up together.
Instead, the passengers moved first.
Without any guidance, the half-fishmen dressed in human clothes swayed forward, while the fishmen remained in the same chaotic appearance, jumping forward with their webbed limbs and heading straight for the lighthouse.
They marched along the dimly lit streets, and when they reached the town, the doors of the houses on both sides of the streets opened, and more half-fishmen joined the procession.
Storms envelop the town, rain water the buildings, and a strong evil energy permeates the place.
It didn't take long for the flesh at the bottom of the town to get into action, surging beneath the brick and stone paths, extending tentacles that spread through the cracks of the buildings, changing their form.
The house, which originally looked normal, at best, looked a little old, began to appear under the touch of these flesh and blood tentacles, and some lines and angles began to appear against common sense, and the angles were pieced together into various shapes that were contrary to common sense.
It has completely lost the appearance of the town's buildings, and only makes people feel extremely chaotic and dirty.
The fragments of the shipwreck, which had previously accumulated around the town and were soaked in evil energy, were also used in the process and moved around the town, either directly into the streets or smashed into houses.
It was as if an invisible force was manipulating everything in the town, piecing it together in some form.
At some point, the night sky above the town seemed to change slightly, with distorted starlight looming among the clouds.
Fish people flock to the center of the town from far and wide.
The top of the lighthouse.
Several human figures quietly emerged.
