Chapter 492: Shocking Soul of Fishing Port


    “Rumbling!!”


    Amid the low thunder, heavy rain poured down, covering the entire Insmouth in a heavy rain. And in this heavy rain, several figures wrapped in tattered raincoats and cloaks were walking slowly on the streets of Insmouth with flashlights, long forks and fishing nets.


    Through the flash of lightning and the dim flashlight, you can see that the skin covered by this cloak looks very slippery, and their necks are even swollen and bulging. You can see organs like fish gills swelling and closing.


    These people are the cultists of Insmouth. At this moment, they are wandering on the streets for nothing else, but for hunting - to capture those stupid, wandering tourists who are wandering alone, and treat them as sacrifices to Dagon.


    But it seems impossible to gain anything today.


    The cult leader sighed. It was basically impossible for a fool to come out to die at such a night. In fact, he felt a little tired.


    Thinking of this, the cultist turned his head and looked behind him, wanting to ask if it should be over here today.


    However………


    Where are people?


    Looking at the empty street behind him, the cultist was stunned. He clearly remembered that the others were behind him just now, but why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?


    Do they all feel that it is too hard and have run away long ago, and no one even tells themselves?


    “————!!”


    Just as the cult was confused, a black shadow like a poisonous snake suddenly shot out from the alley behind him and wrapped itself around the cult''s neck. Before he could react, the cult was pulled into the alley next moment, and there was no movement.


    The heavy rain still did not stop, while Insmouth was as quiet as ever.


    Until the sun rises.


    "What did you say?"


    Sitting behind the desk, the well-dressed middle-aged man frowned and stared at his submissive subordinates in front of him. As the patriarch of the Flink family, he originally expected to start a new day with a good mood, but his good mood lasted for a few minutes and was completely ruined by the bad news brought by his subordinates.


    According to the subordinates, on the streets of Insmouth this morning, several bodies of town residents were found, and they were members of the Flink family slave capturing team!


    "Die? All dead? Are you sure?"


    “Yes, yes, their bodies were found on the street this morning…”


    "Damn it, what''s going on?! Block the news immediately! I''m going to go in person...Damn it, where are their bodies?"


    "Already, it has been sent to the police station..."


    Before his subordinates finished speaking, the Flink patriarch stood up angrily, walked out of the study with great strides, and immediately ordered someone to drive him to the police station.


    Along the way, the patriarch Flink himself looked solemn. He couldn''t figure out who would do such a thing. His first reaction was that the other three families tried to hinder their sacrifice to Dagon, but that didn''t make sense. Because there have been no particularly important sacrificial rituals recently, but who would do this except them?


    This question was not solved until Chief Flink came to the police station, but he temporarily put the matter behind his mind.


    The police chief naturally knew the patriarch Flink. In fact, the police station was full of their people, which is why every time someone from other places disappeared here, the investigation ended in vain.


    The police chief brought Chief Flink to the morgue and showed him the bodies.


    "This was discovered this morning. The one who found them was an old Pete. You know, they would always go out to sea to fish early, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw these bodies lying in a row on the street in front of his house. I could not imagine that the old guy would one day screaming louder than the girls, almost screaming his neighbors."


    As he spoke, the police chief lifted the white cloth covering the body. When even the leader Flink couldn''t help but tremble when he saw this corpse.


    Under the white cloth was a member of a slave hunting team. His eyes were round and his mouth was big. His hideous, fearful and distorted expression was very similar to the sacrifices sacrificed at the sacrifice ceremony. A long opening was left on his neck. The Flink patriarch frowned and looked at the police chief next to him, hoping that he could give him an answer.


    "That''s fatal injury."


    Logically speaking, smoking is not allowed in the morgue, but the police chief obviously didn''t care. He lit a cigarette, then raised his finger and pointed to the neck of the corpse.


    "Like you see, we suspect something was piercing his neck, like an iron hook or something, and then pulled him over like hanging pork. Then he died like this, poor man, he didn''t know what he saw before he died, but I think it must be something beyond their imagination."


    “………………”


    The patriarch Flink remained silent and listened to the police chief''s introduction without saying a word, then he raised his eyebrows.


    "Does anyone know about this?"


    "Basically, there are only locals. Those tourists from other places are more concerned about the beach and wine. However, I suggest you pay attention to the so-called backpackers. This place is too empty, and maybe they will hide it like mice. " "I understand, thank you."


    Crown Chief Flink knew what the Chief of Police meant - Insmouth was once a town, and it was famous for its shipbuilding industry and was quite developed. But later, with the decline of Insmouth''s manufacturing industry, it is now more like a village, with people mostly gathering in the east of the town, and many other places are ruins and houses that have long been empty.


    In the past, few people would come to Insmouth. Although the rumors and rumors surrounding them sounded superstitious and stupid, they did very well dissuade those outsiders to try to find out. But now it is different. More and more people are going to Insmouth. Some of them are traveling here, and some are confused by the Insmouth people - such as backpackers. Idiots who have no money and just carry a bag on their backs, make even the residents of Insmouth who believe in the evil gods wonder why people have to travel around even if they have no money to eat.


    Of course, these idiots are also the best sacrifices used in Insmouth.


    Walking out of the police station, Chief Flink raised his head and looked at the sky. The weather was good today. The gloomy dark clouds enveloped the sky without dazzling sunlight. The wet water vapor in the air made him feel refreshed and refreshed, but for some reason, Chief Flink had a bad premonition.


    It seems that this is just the beginning.


    The premonition of the Flink patriarch is correct.


    The next morning, what came with shrill screams was shocking news.


    "It''s Furson''s people! Their people were killed too!"


    The one who brought the news to the patriarch Flink was still the young man, but this time he was not beaten down by the patriarch because of the bad news. But this news is also uneasy.


    Hearing his subordinate''s answer, the Flink patriarch frowned again. He had originally suspected that the situation was wrong, but now it seems that it is.


    But he planned to wait and see what was going on.


    However, the situation is becoming increasingly unsettling.


    After the failure of the slave hunting team of the Furson family, it was the Spock Association this time. Those fanatical believers who were full of energy, excited and worshipped the great gods in the deep sea finally got to the iron plate. After learning about the encounter between the Flink family and the Fulson family slave hunting team, the Spock Association angrily organized several patrols. They were no longer slave hunting people holding fishing nets and pitchforks, but were armed militia groups with fine guns and weapons. They vowed to find the murderer who killed the residents of the Insmouth town and let him die in despair in the most painful and crazy sacrifice.


    So when night fell, this patrol team of dozens of capable, strong, young and brave young men set out, holding flashlights in their hands, and various gun weapons. Some people even rumored that they had received help from residents who were hidden in the deep sea and did not belong to this land.


    But this is still useless.


    The next morning, their bodies were found at the fountain in the town square. Everyone was in a miserable state of death. The guns in their hands were not even fired, and there was no sign of struggle on their bodies, but they were all dead. Everyone''s eyes were round, with a twisted, ferocious, and fearful expression, as if they had seen something terrible and indescribable...


    Um?


    What seems to be wrong?


    After several days, the town of Insmouth was already in extreme panic. The residents of the town locked themselves in the house and dared not go out when it was dark. The Flink and others were not idle either. They sent people to arrest all the people who learned of these murders, or those who tried to explore the inside story, and all captured them in the dungeon as gifts for sacrifice. At the same time, they also began to make great efforts to investigate the houses in Insmouth one by one, trying to find clues.


    However, it was fine if I didn’t check it, but it surprised everyone even more when I checked it!


    As we all know, after Insmouth''s decline, only a small area was living in people, and most of the buildings in other areas were no longer inhabited. Their door panels and windows were nailed to death by wooden boards, and no one lived in them, and they looked like abandoned empty houses - of course, this is just the view of those outsiders.


    But in fact, this is not the case.


    The Insmouth people all have the blood of a deep dive, so the older they are, the less human they look. In this case, it is certainly impossible for outsiders to see them. Therefore, after the appearance of these people has changed to a certain extent, they will hide in these empty rooms with their appearances that appear to be sealed, and after they are completely transformed into deep divers, they will enter the sea.


    However, when the four major families investigated, they found that those who were originally waiting in the house for a complete transformation and then returned to the sea were all dead!


    All were killed!


    What is even more frightening is that they are not even sure whether these people have been killed long ago or have died soon!


    what is going on? !


    Who is it? Who did it?


    Now, all the four major families were panicked.


    At the beginning, they thought it was a drag on each other - this is actually very normal. Even if everyone believes in evil gods, it does not mean there is no conflict.


    For example, there is even a doctrine dispute between the Flink family and the Fultsong family - the Flink family has always claimed that the bloodline of Insmouth was the incense inherited by a "saint" of their family after they became pregnant after they had a bed with a great existence from the deep sea.


    However, the Furson family believed that this statement was a disgrace to the "divine nature". They claimed that the "saint" did not sleep with the great existence, but received the blessing of the great existence in their dreams, and then gave birth to the descendants of the deep diving as a virgin...


    So both sides could argue about the doctrine of this saint giving birth. The former believed that the latter did not respect historical facts, while the latter believed that the former blasphemed the gods and put gold on their faces……


    In this case, pulling the other party’s hind legs is a basic operation. In fact, at the beginning, the four major families suspected that there was something wrong with each other, so they were all restrained when investigating. However, when they found that all the residents who were about to be transformed into deep diving were killed, they immediately found that something was wrong.


    You should know that these deep diving people will be put into the sea and rushed towards the embrace of the great existence after the transformation is completed! It is their business to pull the hindrance between them. Whoever can do such a thing is blasphemy!


    Who did it? !


    At this moment, the rulers of the four major families were all in their hearts. You know, they always believed that Insmouth was a place without any secrets under their hands. Their ancestors have lived here for generations, and everything here is within their control, and there is no problem! Even if he is a foreigner, as long as he comes here, the four major families will know it as soon as possible. However, someone actually killed someone under his nose, but he didn''t know anything?


    "We must sit down and discuss this issue well!"


    At this time, the Flink patriarch finally made a decision.
