Chapter 491 The Haze of Insmouth
Innsmouth.
This is a small town that has no records on the map, full of all kinds of bad legends and stories.
However, for Duanmu Huai, he only thought this place... was quite pitiful.
Well, it''s quite pitiful.
As we all know, this is a world of linkage tasks, and when the game started this task, a large number of players naturally flocked to it. When they figured out the rules of the mission world and successfully started having fun, a group of fun players appeared for granted.
There are many players in this group, and they soon started a huge tour of the holy land throughout the world.
According to the posts posted by this group of players on the forum, there are even several "achieving actions" within them.
For example, go fishing in Insmouth, go to Miscato University to feed dogs, go to Dunwich to watch the moon...
The last two are fine. As a university, Miscato University cannot be used to enter and exit at will. The residents of Dunwich are also quite simple. Although they sometimes seem eccentric, players prefer to climb mountains, watch stars and watch the moon instead of going to the town to cause disaster, so it is nothing big.
Only Insmouth is considered a big disaster.
After all, as a representative location of the Croatian myth, it has been turned upside down by players. Everyone knows that the residents of Insmouth are a group of deep-diver cultists who believe in Cthulhu. So here, the players'' actions are quite bold and dare to do anything.
Anyway, deep diving people have no human rights.
Some people dare to go fishing on the cliff, some dare to set fire to Dagon''s church, and some even slipped around and picked locks everywhere and drilled everywhere.
Of course, there are also players who patted the Insmouth people on the shoulders, "invited" them aside very friendly, and said to them with a smile.
"I heard that Cthulhu is quite fun. Can you call someone out and show us?"
It''s a pity that the Insmouth people are just a group of deep-dive cultists who are isolated from the world and entangled in the world. Have you ever seen such players who are more crazy than their masters? And the players are still playing, to see who can dig the deepest secrets. It’s not a problem if you investigate a divester. If you don’t call Dagon or Cthulhu to get ashore, you will be sorry for your player’s name.
Some players even directly found the Deep Diver family and said that we were willing to help. Later, they kicked the other party away, "What''s the name of mother-in-law and mother like me? Let me do it!" and then started to hold the Cthulhu summoning ceremony by themselves.
In the end, the entire Insmouth group of demons danced, and the players who wanted to summon Cthulhu and those who wanted to stop them were directly formed. On the contrary, the Insmouth natives hid in the house tremblingly, and did not dare to go out to wander around...
So much so that the players who went there later complained that the people in front of them had ruined Insmouth, and there was no local customs at all. They were just like those Double Eleven tourist attractions, and the streets were full of investigators, and even an indigenous NPC could not see them.
But everyone still likes to go to Insmouth. After all... anything in this place can cause an incident and then use it to increase the points.
Unless all the people in Insmouth are dead.
So Duanmu Huai also planned to follow the steps of his predecessors and try his luck in Insmouth. He did not go in the game. On the one hand, Duanmu Huai had more important tasks at that time, and on the other hand, there were too many Insmouth investigators at that time, and he could not even touch a deep dive if he went out to buy a pack of cigarettes. In this case, he was really sick when he went to Insmouth.
Fortunately, these players turned Insmouth upside down, Duanmuhuai might know Insmouth like the natives in Insmouth.
For example, there are four major families in Insmouth.
Including the Flink family who first built Insmouth, the Fulson family who controlled the town''s manufacturing and alchemy industry, the fanatical and radical Spock Society, and the Tolo Minney family who controlled the town''s only hospital.
These four families cooperate with each other and compete with each other. After all, they all hope to be able to please the glory of the evil gods they believe in as themselves. It can be seen that human greed is universal even if it is placed on cultists.
In the game, the fate of these four forces is quite tragic. Because the Flink family attracted the wind, the investigators who came to hear the news were directly wiped out.
The Furson family is not much better. They are rich and cultists. In the eyes of players, they are simply the best ATMs. So under the rush of investigators, their miserable situation is comparable to the dismemberment of five horses in the downtown area, which makes people unbearable to look at them.
The Spock Association was even worse. This association itself was the most radical and fanatical cult. Faced with the influx of investigators, they were the most unbearable. So the first brave head stood up and shouted "Down with human tyranny, the world belongs to Dagon..."
Then there is nothing. Are you really a sensation with you as an investigator?
The same is true for the Tolo Minni family. Although it depends on mastering the hospital, it is quite hidden, so it is not killed by the investigators as soon as possible. But later, some investigators discovered the secret of the Tolo Minni family and threatened the Tolo Minni family to do things for him and summoned Cthulhu as soon as possible. At that time, the Tolo Minni family agreed to think that they could use each other.
The result was that the investigators couldn''t stand the cult''s slap-down attitude and planned to play with the big ones. Then the Tolomini family was unwilling to do so, and both sides directly broke up and sneered. As a result, what the Tolomini family didn''t expect was that the other party actually believed in Dagon and relied on Dagon''s divine power to destroy them in turn! Is there anything more tragic than being destroyed by the evil **** you believe in?
I''m afraid there is no more.
According to the player who cooperated with the Tolo Minni family and then took the other side, basically in Insmouth, the four major families had the same methods - they would kidnap residents of Insmouth and kidnap foreigners. Among them, local residents will be brainwashed after being kidnapped and then become devout believers. Most of the people from other places were sacrificed to Dagon as sacrifices.
The conflict between him and the Tolomini family is also here. The player originally thought that quantitative change would lead to qualitative change. How many years did you tie people up like this? It’s better to do something, coax a bunch of onlookers who don’t know the truth, and then take them all to Dagon and you’ll be done.
Of course, the Tolomini family disagrees with this. If you want to say that there are occasionally a few foreigners missing here, it would be fine. If you want to have an event and have a big one, why don’t you attract the top?
Players are also puzzled by this. If you really make the evil **** happy, then isn’t that a problem? Or is it that the idiot evil gods you believe in can’t even deal with the human army? Then do you believe it?
So the two sides started fighting.
As for how to maximize the points harvesting the entire Insmouth, Duanmu Huai himself has some idea through the information description in the forum.
The biggest reason why Insmouth was not destroyed was not only their cautious behavior, but also that there was someone above the people - the influential in Insmouth and the senior government officials. This kind of evidence is a big difference and must be obtained.
Secondly, about Insmouth local - there are no good people in this place. All Insmouth people are mixed blood of deep diving and humans. They are definitely alien creatures. Duanmuhuai in the Inquisition have already been slaughtered for you. Men, women, young and old will die. The evil gods who believe in the truth are still mutated in chaos. Who will you kill if you don’t kill?
In fact, the more the mixed-race mutants in Insmouth die, the higher the score.
This actually has internal logic.
The investigators in the novel "The Haze of Insmouth" that made Insmouth famous was reported to the government after escaping Insmouth, who sent a large army to suppress Insmouth.
But the problem is that it was 1920, when everyone was obedient and news was easy to control.
In 2000, which government dared to launch a large army into suppression of a village?
Then it will be broadcast live every day if it is on the hot searches nationwide!
So Duanmu Huai also came up with a good way.
He can guarantee that this will definitely turn the entire Insmouth into a real nightmare.
So this time, Duanmuhuai put Lorena at home, and then took the rabbit and the black cat on the road. He didn''t even take a car, but walked, and passed through the saline-alkali land surrounding Insmouth and came to the city.
When the lights of thousands of houses in Insmouth appeared in front of Duanmuhuai, it was already three days later.
The entire Insmouth was silent, with only a few lights representing that there were still people living inside. The dark clouds roared over the entire sky, and the momentum was about to come.
On the hillside, Duanmuhuai was standing there, staring coldly at the fishing village in front of him. He was wearing a black vest and suit, with a pitch-black windbreaker outside, a wide-brimmed hat, and a black stick in his hand - of course, if he only looked at it, it seemed like an ordinary gentleman was looking into the scenery in the distance.
The premise is not to include the dilapidated and scrapped vehicle next to Duanmuhuai that looks similar to a toy car.
"I finally arrived, and there is Insmouth."
Duanmuhuai held the cane and squinted his eyes to look at the pre-store below. He could see the dark Dagon church on the edge of the coastline, and also saw the fishermen on the pier carrying fish catches from the fishing boats. There seemed to be no people coming and going on the street, only some people who obviously looked like tourists from other places were walking around there.
The howling wind swept past Duanmuhuai, who reached out to grab the waste paper flying with the wind, and then unfolded it - it was a travel poster, which depicted Insmouth.
On the poster, Insmouth is called a vacation paradise, the best place for leisure travel, and it means that the sea here is enough to make people forget all their worries.
Well, that''s right, you will have no worries when you die.
"Meow……"
The black cat crawled out of Duanmuhuai''s collar, stuck out his tongue and licked his face, and Duanmuhuai also reached out and touched the black cat''s little head.
"Okay, don''t worry, the good show is just beginning now."
After saying this, Duanmu Huai held his cane tightly, turned around and disappeared into the darkness with great strides.
At the same time, heavy rainstorms poured down.
