Chapter 493 The Judge''s Practice
Insmouth under the night, there was a dead silence.
The continuous murders over the past period of time have made this already yin town look even colder and gloomy. Now, as long as the sun goes down the mountain, everyone is rushing home. Even the business of attracting tourists from other places has stopped. Even at home, the residents of Insmouth did not dare to turn on the lights. They just lighted candles, curled up in the room, waiting for the arrival of dawn in fear...
A black cat quietly passed through the uninhabited blocks and alleys and came to the tower not far away. She leaped up skillfully and came to the top of the tower. Then she jumped over and jumped onto the shoulder of Duanmuhuai standing in the dark shadow, leaned against his mouth and meowed for a few words. Duanmuhuai also reached out, touched the black cat''s little head, and put her in her arms.
"Very good, it seems everything goes well."
Looking at the dead Insmouth in front of him, Duanmu Huai nodded with satisfaction. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. What comes from the fresh sea breeze is a wonderful atmosphere full of fear and despair. The fear arising from those lowly alien hybrid hybrids in the face of death and destruction is the best food for Duanmu Huai, the **** of destruction.
In fact, these fish-faced heretics did not realize that this territory, which was originally covered by the great gods they believed in, was now quietly eroded by the fear of the God of Destruction.
Of course, Duanmu Huai had planned this way.
In fact, most players do this.
If they receive a commission to investigate somewhere, most of these players will be as polite as gentlemen, as if they are a real professional detective.
But on the other hand, if the player is not entrusted but takes the initiative to find trouble, it will basically tear off their mask of civilization and become unscrupulous.
The reason is also very simple.
When you accept this commission, your every move has already begun.
This is like an interview. When you enter the room, no matter what you think, the assessment has begun. Even your posture, attitude and tone of sitting in the chair may affect your evaluation.
But it’s different to take the initiative to find trouble. Because there is no commission, players can do whatever they want. After all, even if I do it, as long as you can’t find out, then the end of this matter will not be over me!
The same is true for Duanmu Huai now.
If he received a commission to come to Insmouth to investigate the case, Duanmu Huai would naturally act strictly in the manner of a regular investigator.
But if Duanmu Huai did not receive the commission but came to Insmouth on his own initiative, then he would do whatever he wanted, even if he killed all the Insmouth people, as long as he could submit a self-justified evidence line afterwards, it would be over.
This is also why the players in the Insmouth town of players danced in the game.
Another reason is even simpler. Although in this world, players are investigators, in the final analysis, they are the judges of the Inquisition.
Insmouth, a group of heretics who are mixed with the Deep Diver and believe in evil gods, will be completely extinct according to the standards of the Inquisition, and all men, women, young and old must be killed. Of course, it is not just these heretic cults who believe in heretics and mixed-race with the Deep Divers, including the Deep Divers they believe in, Dagon and even Cthulhu, according to the standards of the Inquisition, they cannot be let go when they see them, and must be purified and not left behind.
So to a certain extent, the player''s identity as a judge and the investigator are somewhat contradictory.
Because according to the judge''s job, all heretic cults must be killed when they see them. evidence? The judge has the final say in this thing. If I say there is, it will be my fault if you believe it or not...
But of course, investigators in this world cannot be so bold. At least they still have to act under the legal framework, at least... on the surface you have to make sense.
In fact, at the beginning, many players suffered losses in this regard. They accepted the commission and went to investigate, but found that somewhere was full of cultists. In the spirit of the Inquisition''s intention to kill a thousand people by mistake rather than let one go, they were all slaughtered. Of course, the local government cannot just let it go, so these players began to fight with the police and the army who were pursuing them, and in the end they scored the score and kicked out of the game world GAMEOVER.
But later, the players also learned to be smart and quickly found a balance.
Heretic cults must be killed. As judges, this is their job, and it is not possible for anyone to discuss it.
But... the process in the middle is too operational.
The same is true for Duanmuhuai’s plan at the moment.
He planned to increase the fear of the Instmouth people by causing these serial killings in Instmouth, and put pressure on the four major families. He was sure that the four major families could not withstand the pressure and wanted to summon Dagon or Cthulhu for help.
At that time, he just needs to seize the opportunity and give the other party a heavy blow to the greatest extent, and then burned all the fire in Insmouth. Then, when submitting the evidence line to the police, he said that these idiots believed in the evil **** and failed to launch a blasphemy religious ceremony, which led to the destruction of the entire town...
Who can find out?
As long as the evidence is conclusive, the police will definitely turn a blind eye to such things.
Similar operations players have done more in the game, with all kinds of excuses for being scattered, such as the sudden outbreak of plague, the sudden earthquake in the entire town, and the sudden eruption of the volcano next to them buried the entire town. I was too lazy to make up, so I said that the people there suddenly went crazy and killed each other...
Anyway, "there is no evidence for death."
After all, the investigator is the investigator, just play, and the judge of his job must not forget it.
Duanmuhuai was not even worried that the Insmouth people would call the police. This group of cultists were not clean and dared to report such a thing. If they really wanted to get the higher authorities to investigate, they would be the end of their lives. So he was sure that no matter how many heresies he killed in Insmouth, the people in Insmouth would not dare to let anyone go. This is true. According to the results of the investigation by Lingnu, people from the four major families have gathered to discuss countermeasures, and the police station requires that the matter be completely suppressed and no one is allowed to be mentioned.
This means that Duanmu Huai continues to kill here. Even if the superiors come to investigate, they will not get any information and information about the murder case - because in the police station, these cases "do not exist" at all.
They also have to help themselves with the aftermath of their killing. Duanmu Huai thinks that these cultists are really kind.
Of course, in return, Duanmuhuai promised to give them an unforgettable ending.
The reason why Duanmu Huai did this is because he had the genes of the Raven Guard, which was able to be elusive in the streets and alleys of Insmouth without being discovered. If not, then Duanmu Huai might have been much more difficult to move freely here.
In fact, Duanmu Huai was not idle during the period when the four major families searched for the murderer. He used the time when the group of people went out to search for himself during the day, and instead sneaked into the nests of the four major families and collected a lot of evidence - including heavy materials such as the Furson family bribed a member of Congress, and Tolomini Hospital injected patients with mysterious drugs in the name of medical treatment, and used them to conduct various human experiments records and image data.
It can be said that the four major families did not expect that when they were looking for the murderer outside in anger, the culprit had already turned their nests upside down.
In addition to the materials within the Insmouth Police Department colluded with the Flink family, a complete line of evidence has been completely taken into his arms by Duanmu Huai. Now, he depends on where these cultists plan to go and who they can summon.
Unfortunately, in Duanmuhuai''s view, the possibility of Cthulhu is extremely low. After all, Cthulhu will need to be a nine-star pearl for unblocking. However, I have not heard of any abnormal celestial phenomena recently. It is estimated that Dagon is their limit.
Of course, without Cthulhu, Dagon could barely accept it...
As a god, Duanmu Huai is not afraid of evil gods like Cthulhu at the level of village chief. Although there are also evil gods in this universe that Duanmu Huai is afraid of, there is nothing to be afraid of, such a guy like Cthulhu who is useless except for his reputation.
Many Cthulhu believers claim that when it wakes up, they will destroy the entire world... and then they are hit and destroyed by a fishing boat.
That''s it?
Nothing is embarrassing?
It would be too funny if the world could be destroyed by this thing.
Duanmu Huai was really curious. These believers were afraid that they were not brain problems... Oh, they were indeed brain problems.
That''s all right.
After all, one of the biggest characteristics of Cthulhu believers is mental retardation.
Then, it''s time to completely destroy all this.
The next morning, the atmosphere in the entire Innsmouth town seemed quite tense and gloomy. The heavy rain that had lasted for several days not only did not stop, but instead became heavier. But in this weather, the Insmouth people did not choose to stay at home. On the contrary, they walked out of their homes in groups like shaking zombies, gathered together, rushed forward along the street, and headed to the Dagon Church on the coast.
No one spoke or moved along the way. They just walked forward, then walked forward, and walked all the way to the church.
This church, which once belonged to other sects, has now become a behemoth after decades of modification, which is enough to accommodate hundreds of believers. And this is almost the majority of the population of Insmouth town.
And below the church, Patriarch Flink was also standing there, his body covered in a black robe, looking at the dark, huge cave in front of him. This cave is where they sacrificed their great beings they believed in, and this time they will unite to pray for the gifts and guidance of Dagon, and eliminate the murderous ghosts wandering in Insmouth.
Clan Flink also secretly prayed for guidance of faith several times in private, but all he got was an vague revelation, a tall, terrifying, majestic figure staring at the entire Insmouth. In front of him, the whole town was as fragile as a toy on a sand table.
However, this figure was blurred. Not only that, when Captain Flink looked at him, he only felt a trembling fear from the depths of his soul.
“Mr. Flink.”
“———!”
The figure in his ears shocked the Flink patriarch. He hurriedly came to his senses and turned to look at him. A fat man was frowning and staring at him. He was the patriarch of the Furson family. If it were on weekdays, Flink would definitely ridicule his fat figure as a pig, but now, he is not in this mood.
"What''s wrong?"
“It’s time for the ceremony to begin.”
Fulson nodded to Flink, who also took a long breath and then widened his eyes and looked forward.
"Of course... then, let''s start."
