After hearing that name, even William couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, "Why did they come there?!"
He had heard the name of the town, but was not familiar with it.
Arkham-Innsmouth-Newburyport is on the same route, but basically no one wants to go to Innsmouth.
I heard that there is a very strange town, near the mouth of the Manuset River. It was almost a decent city in the past. It was a very good port city before the War of 1812. It was once prosperous, but it was not a hundred years old.
Many years later, it has long since declined.
The transportation there is not very convenient. There is a branch line extending from Raleigh. It is said that the train service will be suspended soon.
In his vague impression, Innsmouth was just a strange, declining port city.
"It seems that I have also heard of that town?" Captain Linden looked at William slightly differently.
The geologist was very young. It seemed that he had only come to Miskatonic University for further study in those few years. He had experienced a series of incredible things since he joined the expedition team.
Before, I had always been an ordinary person who knew nothing.
"Well, no. He had a friend, Dr. Wallace, the young pastor of Ashleigh Methodist Church in Arkham, who once told him very seriously that he would be unhappy if he didn't seek to get close to Innsmouth.
.
"And especially don't seek to join any of the Innsmouth sects..."
As he talked, William's tone became more and more weird. Combined with some unfortunate things he had encountered recently, he quickly realized that something was good. He stared at Captain Linden with wide eyes, trying to get some confirmation from the authoritative captain.
.
"Isn't there some weird thing that swims around there or some kind of devil worship? It's similar to the group of people who worship the Lord of Decay?"
Captain Linden hesitated for a while and then told William: "Well, there is a secret sect of Dagon."
It certainly sounds like a strange cult that came from nowhere and was introduced a century ago.
Captain Lyndon told William the information he learned.
That's not a secret worth hiding.
At that time, the fishing industry in Innsmouth Town was already facing decline. However, after the introduction of the secret religion, the number of fish in the fishing ground began to slowly recover, and it has not decreased since then. Therefore, those simple-minded civilians began to believe in the secret religion.
Its development seems to have taken its course.
Later, the secret sect continued to develop and grow, and now it has become the most influential church in Innsmouth. It even replaced the Freemasons and established its headquarters in the Masonic Hall of New Green Church.
"Why did they come to Innsmouth?" The geologist's face was still filled with confusion.
They set out from Arkham Town, spent a morning in Field Town, and then set off from the port of Boston. Although the Hydra was very large in tonnage, its sailing speed was also very slow.
Then why did you wind up and come to Innsmouth, not far from Arkham?!
So what did all their tossing over those days mean?
Quite frankly, he was a geography student after all. The Boston voyage was not far away from the small port of Innsmouth, and it could be said that it had nothing to do with it.
Especially for a ship of the size of the Hydra, it is impossible to sail into the small port of Innsmouth, which is a run-down town.
"..."
Captain Linden sighed and pinched his temples, "After someone found the exit, everything changed. They arrived at the Devil's Reef in Innsmouth, and the Hydra stopped less than a kilometer away.
outside……"
"All the darkness, those weird fish carcasses and swamps, are gone."
That is simply unbelievable and appalling...
"The guests on the ship were also unimaginable." Captain Linden's eyes showed fatigue. "Many people felt fear and confusion, which almost caused a minor commotion. Fortunately, order was restored at first, and no harm was caused.
Too big an impact.”
"Very well, those powerful guests have agreed not to publish the shocking truth to the world. Although some reporters are not convinced, they understand how big a scandal it will cause if it is announced."
"They planned to rest there for a while. Some of them were so alarmed that they had developed a fear of the sea, so they took the train out of Innsmouth in a day or two."
Captain Linden rubbed his temples and said in a tired tone, "Because Arkham is not too far away, some members of the expedition team have also gone back to rest. Can their people please make some adjustments..."
The people who went back brought the board with which he had desperately written in blood, as well as some samples of monsters and mutations that he had taken. He didn't know what the University of Michigan would do with it.
But Captain Linden didn't dare to go back easily, for fear of bringing some strange contamination with him. Especially since they now have a "pregnant husband" in their team...
Everyone who left Innsmouth had to go through layers of screening to make sure they were not human before they could leave. Although the dignitaries complained, for some reason they all cooperated obediently.
They went to great lengths to block off Innsmouth from the outside world, preventing the media from coming over and harassing them like sharks that smell fishy smells.
Many things cannot be disclosed. Human beings will be frightened and collapse when faced with the wrong truth. If they are not careful, they will be irreversible.
Isn't it strange, it seems that those people have become reasonable, considerate and good people.
Is it possible that we have experienced disasters together and understand others?
It seems that many people have become more or less positive and have regained their original intention...Have those who swim in the world seen the light?
The mysterious giant appeared in front of Captain Lyndon again...
His head hurt even more.
Fuck, those stupid idiots!
Those people really promised not to tell the media about those strange things, and promised to say that the Hydra incident was an accident.
It turns out that he turned around and dragged reporters to praise and promote the great Ultraman Tiga!
They didn't know what the name Tiga meant, so they heard William's shout on the boat and realized that the giant's name was Ultraman Tiga.
Then those idiots publicized Tiga's name, showing that they had devoutly converted to Ultraman Namo Tiga...
Regardless of whether he was a well-known big shot or not, the media seemed to be in a collective climax in those days, and the newspapers were sold out.
Well, no one knows what kind of terrifying place they came to after the shipwreck...
All the attention was focused on the mysterious giant!
