Chapter 287 287. The Unfaithful

This is a dead and silent place, and black has become the main color of this world.

The scorched earth, the black ruins blending with shadows, the wind howling like a ghost—this is the town of Innsmouth.

……

In a leeward ruin, Quinn huddled among a group of fellow Secret Order Cultists, wondering whether the food for tomorrow would still be distributed on time.

The great leader Norman took away one-third of the followers of the Secret Order, set off from the town of Innsmouth on a large ship, and went to sea to find the legendary lost kingdom of God 'Raliyah'.

As for the main reason why their group of believers were kept here, although the great leader didn't say it clearly, Quinn's heart was like a mirror.

In private, they have always been called a group of 'disloyals', that is, they are not 100% loyal to the evil god Cthulhu.

In fact, before joining the Secret Order Cult, Quinn was just an ordinary street vagrant, and his inner beliefs were only to be able to see the sun the next day and... no longer need to suffer from hunger.

He was drawn into the Secret Order Cult by a compatriot on the grounds that he could receive free food. After discovering that the source of food could indeed be guaranteed here, Quinn was happy to be a bastard in such a strange organization.

The group of 'disloyals' around him may have joined the Secret Order for a different starting point than Quinn, but there is no doubt that they are all bastards exactly like Quinn.

"Shouldn't you just leave us alone?"

Quinn shrank his neck from the cold wind, muttering in his heart.

"It's up to you to ask Happy and the others to slip away together."

He looked over the disloyal men who were also squatting on the ground with him, and saw two guys with weapons standing at the gap in the ruins.

They are responsible for the security work on the surface, but in fact they stayed to supervise the disloyal people like Quinn.

Even if the big leader doesn't trust them, he still wants to control them firmly.

Quinn thought about it, and felt that if he rushed directly, his life might be lost.

He was quite resigned to his life, timidity and prudence had always been an important reliance on his survival, and Quinn didn't want to take this risk.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the direction of the gap in front, and the two guards with weapons let out a long-drawn-out shriek. fell back to the ground.

In the darkness, Quinn couldn't see clearly what had attacked them.

"It looks like something bad happened."

He felt a burst of tension in his heart, and the ominous omen was tightly grasping his heart like a big hand,
The excellent danger warning ability made him think of avoiding risks in time. When all the disloyal people were attracted by the commotion over there, he had already started to move towards the edge of the crowd with a low waist.

"I can't control that much anymore, it's important to slip away first."

But he hadn't moved far to the periphery of the crowd, when a tall and burly giant suddenly appeared in front of him blocking his way.

Quinn opened his eyes wide. The backlit environment made him unable to see the giant's face clearly, but his heart thumped to the limit.

What kind of monster is he? !
He thought so secretly in his heart.

At this time, a series of exclamations sounded from the disloyal compatriots behind him. Quinn looked back and found a young-looking silver-haired youth leading the way into the crowd.

"Next, everyone here has only one chance to choose, live or die!"

While the silver-haired youth was talking, four thick black tentacles extended from behind him.

"Excuse me, everyone here, who is a follower of Cthulhu?"

There were exclamations of exclamation among this group of unfaithful people. Quinn trembled and wanted to escape desperately, but he was blocked by the burly black man who had to pass the way.

"Damn it, how did this person get here?"

Moreover, the question he asked was quite strange, and Quinn didn't know whether he should answer in the affirmative or directly deny it now.

But just when Quinn couldn't understand the phenomenon in front of him, he noticed that someone who was not afraid of death stood up from the crowd, boldly asked who it was, and announced loudly that this was the Dagon secret order sect. The stronghold, idlers and others are not allowed to make trouble here.

"Didn't you see the tentacles on his body? It's so boring to do so."

Quinn worried for the fellow man.

In fact, his concerns became reality in the next second. The black tentacles on the back of the silver-haired youth slapped him on the head before that compatriot could finish his sentence. meat pie.

"Crazy crazy, is it all crazy?"

He held his head in his hands, with an expression of disbelief.

He never thought that his bastard life was actually accompanied by the risk of death. He thought that as long as he shouted "pious" slogans to the big boss every day, he could get food.

The excellent life-saving awareness made Quinn desperately want to get out and escape. He turned his head and ran towards the periphery of the crowd, but he couldn't run two steps away, and something suddenly entangled his waist.

That must be the tentacles!
Quinn's heart felt cold, and he stretched out his hand to touch it. It felt slippery, and the tightening force around his waist also intensified a bit.

Ruined!
He knew in his heart that he played a bit too big this time, and this little life might be put here forever.

"No, I'm not a bullshit believer, I... I just don't want to go hungry!"

In desperation, Quinn closed his eyes in despair, shouted loudly, and didn't care even if his true intentions were revealed.

The waving of the tentacles stopped, and Quinn immediately felt that the tightness on his body had weakened a lot.

I answered... right?

After escaping from the dead, he secretly opened his eyes with a gap.

The tightness on his body miraculously disappeared as his eyes opened, and he didn't even see the terrifying black tentacles again.

The scene in front of him was still the ashes of the ruins of the buildings in Innsmouth Town. Those bastards who had the same purpose as him were lying on the cold floor in disorder, and they seemed to be sleeping soundly.

It turned out to be a dream?

Quinn relaxed his body, wiped his forehead with his hand, and squeezed a cold sweat for himself.

……

At the same time, at a position about a hundred meters away from the disloyal stronghold, the blond-haired Valred put down his hand on his forehead, his face looking a little pale.

"There are too many people, I can only hypnotize for so little time."

His younger sister Lily continued from the side: "Although the time is very short, I have successfully tested them. These people's willpower is relatively weak, and they should have completely given up the idea of ​​​​supporting evil gods now." gone."

"Our approach is working!"

Bai Ye stood up from the squatting state.

"Now go and catch a guy who knows the whereabouts of the remaining part of the Dagon Secret Order, and let him show us the way."
