At night, Innsmouth was dead silent.

The continuous murder incidents during this period of time have made this already gloomy town seem more and more cold and gloomy, and now as long as the sun goes down, everyone hurries home. Even the business of soliciting tourists from out of town has stopped, and even at home, the inhabitants of Innsmouth do not dare to turn on the lights, but only light candles and huddle in their rooms, waiting for the dawn in horror...............

A black cat quietly walked through the uninhabited neighborhoods and alleys, and came to the tower not far away, she leaped up dexterously, and came to the top of the tower, and then jumped onto the shoulder of Duanmu Huai, who was standing in the dark shadow, leaned on his mouth and meowed a few words, and Duanmu Huai also reached out, touched the black cat's little head, and put her into his arms.

"Good, looks like everything is going well."

Looking at the dead and silent Innsmouth in front of him, Duanmu Huai nodded with satisfaction, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Mixed with the fresh sea breeze was a wonderful, fearful and desperate atmosphere. The fear of death and destruction generated by those lowly alien hybrid hybrids is the best food for Duanmu Huai, the god of destruction.

In fact, these fish-faced heretics did not realize that this territory, which was once covered by the great gods they believed in, was now quietly eroded by the terrifying aura of the god of destruction.

Duanmu Huai did this, of course, it was also planned.

In fact, most players do.

If they're asked to investigate somewhere, most of these players behave like gentlemen, as if they're a real professional detective.

But on the other hand, if the player is not commissioned, but takes the initiative to find trouble, it is basically tearing off the mask of their civilization and becoming unscrupulous.

The reason is simple.

When you accept this commission, your every move is already considered to be the beginning of the assessment.

It's like an interview, the moment you enter the room, no matter what you think, the assessment has already begun, and even your posture and attitude in the chair and tone of voice may affect your evaluation.

But it's different to take the initiative to find something by yourself, because there is no commission, so the player can do whatever he wants, after all, even if I do it, as long as you can't find out, then the final matter will not be on my head!

The same is true of Duanmu locust now.

If he had been commissioned to come to Innsmouth to investigate the case, it would have been natural for Duanmu to act in strict accordance with the manner of a regular investigator.

But if Duanmuhuai did not receive the commission, but took the initiative to come to Innsmouth, then he could do whatever he wanted, even if he killed all the Innsmouths, as long as he could hand over a self-justifying evidence line afterwards, it would be over.

This is also the reason why the Innsmouth town players danced wildly in the game in the first place.

The other reason is simpler, although in this world, the player's identity is an investigator, but at the end of the day, they are the inquisitors of the Inquisition.

And Innsmouth, a group of heretical mongrels who are mixed with deep divers and believe in evil gods, according to the standards of the Inquisition, they must be completely exterminated, regardless of men, women, and children. Of course, not only these heretical cultists who believe in heretical cults and mixed blood with deep divers, but also the deep divers they believe in, Dagon and even Cthulhu, according to the standards of the Inquisition, they can't let go when they see it, they must all be purified, and no one will be left.

So to some extent, the player's identity as an inquisitor and an investigator are somewhat contradictory.

Because according to the work of the judges, all heretics, if they see them, they must be killed. Evidence? The Inquisitor has the final say, I say yes, believe it or not, it's none of my business.........

But of course, the investigators of this world can't be so bold, and they still have to act under the framework of the law, at least ......... On the surface, you have to be reasonable.

In fact, in the beginning, many players suffered in this regard, they took the commission, and then went to investigate, only to find that somewhere was full of cultists. In the spirit of the inquisition, it would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, and slaughtered them all. AND OF COURSE, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CAN'T JUST LET IT GO, SO THESE PLAYERS BEGAN TO FIGHT WITH THE POLICE AND ARMY WHO WERE CHASING THEM, AND FINALLY KICKED OUT OF THE GAME WORLD GAME OVER.

But then, the player learns wisely and quickly finds the balance.

The heretics are definitely going to kill them all, and as judges, this is their job, and no one can say anything without negotiation.

But ah............... In the middle of the process, the operability is too great.

The same is true for the current plan for the end of the locust.

He was planning to increase the fear of the Innsmouth by causing these serial killings in Innsmouth, while putting pressure on the four families. He was sure that the four great families would never be able to resist the pressure to summon Dagon or Cthulhu for help.

When the time comes, he only needs to seize the opportunity to give the other party the maximum blow, and then burn all the Innsmouth afterwards, and then when he submits the evidence to the police, he says that this group of idiots who believe in evil gods and launch a blasphemous ritual failed, resulting in the destruction of the entire town...............

Who can find out?

As long as the evidence is conclusive, then the police will definitely turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

Similar operations players have done more in the game, and there are all kinds of wild excuses, such as a sudden outbreak of the plague, suddenly the whole town is earthquake, and the volcano next to it suddenly erupts and buries the whole town, so I really don't bother to make it up and say that the people there suddenly went crazy and killed each other...............

Anyway, "there is no proof of death".

After all, the investigator belongs to the investigator, just have fun, and the judge of his own work cannot be forgotten.

Duanmuhuai is not even worried that the Innsmouth people will go to the police, this group of cultists themselves is not clean, dare to report this kind of thing, then it is really necessary to let the upper authorities investigate it. So he can be sure that even if he kills more heretics in Innsmouth, the people of Innsmouth will not dare to let one go.

That's exactly the case, according to the results of Suzume's investigation, the people of the four major families have gathered to discuss countermeasures, and as for the police station, they are asking to completely suppress the matter and not allow anyone to mention it.

This also means that Duanmu Huai continues to kill here, and even if they come to investigate, they will not be able to get any information and information about the murder case——— because in the police station, these cases do not "exist" at all.

The people who killed them themselves, they also had to help themselves clean up the aftermath, Duanmu Huai felt that this group of cultists was really kind.

Of course, in return, Duanmu Locust is guaranteed to give them a memorable finish.

And the reason why Duanmu Huai was able to do this was also thanks to his possession of the original genes of the Raven Guard, which allowed him to appear in the streets of Innsmouth without being discovered. If not, it will be much more difficult for the acacia to move freely in this place.

In fact, during the period when the four major families were trying their best to search for the murderer, Duanmu Huai was not idle, he used the time when this group of people went out to search for himself during the day, and directly infiltrated the lair of the four major families, and collected a lot of evidence——— including heavy materials such as the Fulson family bribing a member of Congress, and the Tolominny Hospital injected patients with mysterious drugs in the name of medical treatment, and used them to conduct various human experiments and video data.

It can be said that the four major families did not expect that when they were angry looking for the murderer outside, the culprit had already turned their nest upside down.

Coupled with the materials of collusion with the Frink family within the Innsmouth Police Department, a complete line of evidence has been completely embraced by Duanmu Huai. Now, he saw where this group of cultists planned to go and who they could summon.

But it's a pity that in Duanmuhuai's opinion, the possibility of Cthulhu is extremely low, after all, Cthulhu will be unsealed to have nine stars, but I haven't heard of any abnormal celestial phenomena recently, and it is estimated that Dagon is their limit.

Of course, there is really no Cthulhu, and Dagon is barely acceptable.........

Also as a god, Duanmu Huai is not afraid of an evil god like Cthulhu at the level of a village chief, although there is no evil god in this universe that Duanmu Huai is afraid of, but a guy like Cthulhu who is good for nothing except a big name has nothing to be afraid of.

Quite a few Cthulhu believers claim that when it wakes up, it will destroy the entire world......... Then it was hit by a fishing boat and wrecked.

That's it?

Isn't there a shame?

It would be hilarious if the world could be destroyed by this thing.

Duanmu Huai is really curious, these believers are afraid that there is something wrong with their brains......... Oh, they do have a problem with their brains.

That's fine.

After all, one of the biggest characteristics of Cthulhu believers is that they are mentally retarded.

Then then, it's time to destroy it all completely.

Early the next morning, the atmosphere throughout the town of Innsmouth was tense and gloomy. Far from stopping, the rains continued for several days, but became heavier and heavier. But in this weather, the people of Innsmouth did not choose to stay at home, but instead walked out of their homes in twos and threes, like shaking zombies, gathered together, and rushed down the street to the Dagon Church on the coast.

No one spoke, no one moved, they just walked forward, and then forward, until they reached the church.

This church, which once belonged to other denominations, has now been transformed into a behemoth after decades of renovation, large enough to accommodate hundreds of worshippers in it. And this is almost the majority of the population of the small town of Innsmouth.

And underneath the church, Patriarch Frink also stood there, his whole body covered in black robes, looking out at the pitch-black, huge cavern in front of him. This cave is where they offer their sacrifice to the great beings they believe in, and this time, they will unite and ask Dagon for his blessing and guidance to destroy the killing ghost that hovers Innsmouth.

Patriarch Frink had secretly prayed for the guidance of the faith several times in private, but all he received was a vague revelation, a tall, terrifying, majestic figure gazing over all of Innsmouth, and before him, the whole town was as fragile as a toy on a sandbox.

However, the figure was indistinct, and not only that, but when Patriarch Flink looked at him, he only felt a trembling fear from the depths of his soul.

"Mr. Frink."

“—————！”

The figure in his ears startled Patriarch Frink, he hurriedly came back to his senses, turned his head to look, and saw that beside him, a fat man was frowning and glaring at him, he was the patriarch of the Furson family. On a normal day, Frink would have laughed at his fat pig-like figure, but right now, he wasn't in the mood.

"What's wrong?"

"It's time for the ceremony to begin."

Furson nodded at Fly, who took a long breath and stared ahead.

"Of course............... So, let's get started. ”
