Chapter 492: Judge's Practice

Innsmouth at night was dead silent.

The continuous killings during this period of time have made this gloomy town look even colder and more gloomy. Now as soon as the sun goes down, everyone rushes home. Even the business of attracting foreign tourists has stopped. Even at home, the residents of Innsmouth dare not turn on the lights. They just light candles, curl up in their rooms, and wait for the dawn in horror... …

A black cat passed silently through the deserted streets and alleys, and came to a tall tower not far away. She leaped nimbly up to the top of the tower, and then jumped, jumped When he reached Duanmuhuai's shoulder standing in the shadows, he leaned against his mouth and meowed a few words, and Duanmuhuai also stretched out his hand, touched the black cat's little head, and put her into his arms .

"Very well, everything seems to be going well."

Looking at the dead Innsmouth in front of him, Duanmuhuai nodded in satisfaction, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. What came mixed with the fresh sea breeze was that wonderful breath full of fear and despair. The fear of those lowly alien hybrids in the face of death and destruction is the best food for Duanmuhuai, the god of destruction.

In fact, these fish-faced heretics did not realize that this territory originally covered by the great gods they believed in had been quietly eroded by the fearful aura of the God of Destruction.

Of course, Duanmu Huai had planned it long ago.

In fact, most players do this.

If they received a commission to investigate somewhere, most of these players behaved as polite as a gentleman, as if they were a real professional detective.

But on the other hand, if the player is not entrusted, but takes the initiative to find trouble, it is basically tearing off the mask of their civilization and becoming unscrupulous.

The reason is also very simple.

When you accept this entrustment, your every move has already been considered as the beginning of the assessment.

It's like an interview. The moment you enter the room, no matter what you think, the assessment has already begun. Even your posture, attitude, and tone of voice in the chair may affect your evaluation.

But it’s different to find things on your own initiative, because there is no entrustment, so players can do whatever they want. After all, even if I did it, as long as you can’t find out, then the last thing is not my responsibility!

The same is true for Duanmuhuai now.

If he had received a commission to investigate the case in Innsmouth, then Duanmu Huai would naturally act in strict accordance with the way of a regular investigator.

But if Duanmu Huai did not receive the entrustment, but came to Innsmouth on his own initiative, then he could do whatever he wanted, even if he killed all the people in Innsmouth, as long as he could submit a self-justified evidence line afterwards, That's it.

This is also the reason why the players in the small town of Innsmouth danced wildly in the game.

The other reason is even simpler. Although in this world, players are investigators, in the final analysis, they are the judges of the Tribunal.

And the Innsmouth group of heretic bastards who are mixed with deep divers and believe in evil gods, according to the standards of the trial court, they must be completely exterminated, regardless of men, women, or children. Of course, it’s not just these heresy cultists who believe in heresies and heretics who are mixed with deep divers, including the deep divers they believe in, Dagon and even Cthulhu. Purify them all, leaving none behind.

So to some extent, the player's status as a judge and as an investigator are somewhat contradictory.

Because according to the job of the judge, all heretics and heretics must be killed when they see them. evidence? The judge has the final say on this thing, I say there is one, it's none of my business whether you believe it or not...

But of course investigators in this world can't be so bold and reckless, at least they still have to act within the legal framework, at least...on the surface you have to be justified.

In fact, at the beginning, many players suffered from this aspect. They accepted the commission and then went to investigate, only to find that a certain place was full of cultists. In the spirit of the Inquisition Court, who would rather kill a thousand by mistake than spare one, they were all slaughtered. Of course, the local government can't just let it go, so these players started to fight with the police and army who were chasing them, and in the end, the points were deducted and they were directly kicked out of the game world GAME OVER.

But later, the players also learned to be smart, and quickly found a balance.

The heretics must be killed. As judges, this is their job, and there is no need to discuss it. No one can say it.

But ah... the middle process, the operability is too great.

The same is true of Duanmuhuai's plan now.

He is planning to increase the fear of Innsmouth people by causing these serial killings in Innsmouth, and at the same time put pressure on the four major families. He can be sure that the four major families will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure and will call Dagon or Cthulhu for help.

At that time, he only needs to seize the opportunity, give the opponent a heavy blow to the greatest extent, and then burn Innsmouth all on fire, and then when he submits the evidence line to the police, he will say that these idiots believe in evil gods and launch sacrilegious religious ceremonies The failure resulted in the destruction of the entire town......

Who can check it out?

As long as the evidence is solid, the police must turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

Players with similar operations have done more in the game, and there are all kinds of hype excuses, such as a sudden outbreak of plague, a sudden earthquake in the whole town, and a sudden eruption of a nearby volcano that buried the whole town. I'm too lazy to make it up, so I just said that the people there suddenly went crazy and killed each other......

Anyway, "death does not tell".

After all, investigators belong to investigators, just play for fun, and judges should not forget their job.

Duanmuhuai wasn't even worried that the people of Innsmouth would go to the police. These cultists themselves were not clean. If they dared to report this kind of thing to the authorities, it would be a real shame if the superiors came down to investigate. So he can be sure that no matter how many heretics he kills in Innsmouth, no one in Innsmouth will dare to fart.

The fact is exactly the same. According to the results of Ling Nu's investigation, people from the four major families have gathered to discuss countermeasures. As for the police station, they demanded that the matter be completely suppressed and no one was allowed to bring it up.

This also means that if Duanmuhuai continues to kill here, even if the higher-ups come to investigate, they will not be able to get a little bit of information and information about the murder——because in the police station, these cases "do not exist" at all. .

Those who killed them themselves, they have to help themselves to deal with the aftermath, Duanmuhuai felt that these cultists were really kind.

Of course, in return, Duanmuhuai promised to give them an unforgettable ending.

The reason why Duanmu Huai was able to do this was also thanks to his possession of the Primarch gene of the Raven Guard, which allowed him to sneak around in the streets and alleys of Innsmouth without being discovered. If not, it would be much more difficult for Duanmu Huai to move freely in this place.

In fact, Duanmuhuai was not idle during the time when the four major families were searching for the murderer. He took advantage of the time when the group of people went out to search for him during the day, and directly sneaked into the lair of the four major families, collecting There is a lot of evidence --- among them is the heavy material that the Fulson family bribed a congressman, and the Tolomini Hospital used the name of medical treatment to inject patients with mysterious drugs and use them to conduct various human experiments records and image data.

It can be said that the four major families never expected that when they were looking for the murderer outside in a rage, the culprit had already turned their lair upside down.

Coupled with the materials of collusion between the Innsmouth Police Department and the Frink family, a complete line of evidence has been completely collected by Duan Muhuai. Now, he had to see where the group of cultists planned to go and who they could summon.

But unfortunately, in Duanmuhuai's view, the possibility of Cthulhu is extremely low. After all, Cthulhu needs nine stars to unblock. However, I haven't heard of any abnormal celestial phenomena recently. I guess Dagon is their limit.

Of course, there is really no Cthulhu, and Dagon can barely accept it...

Also as a god, Duanmu Huai is not afraid of evil gods like Cthulhu, who are at the village head level. Nothing to be afraid of.

Many Cthulhu believers claim that when it wakes up, it will destroy the entire world... and then it was hit by a fishing boat.

That's it?

Don't you think it's embarrassing?

It would be too funny if the world could be destroyed by this thing.

Duanmuhuai was really curious, these believers might not have a problem with their brains...... Oh, they do have a problem with their brains.

That's fine.

After all, one of the biggest characteristics of Cthulhu believers is mental retardation.

Then, it's time to completely destroy all this.

Early the next morning, the atmosphere in the entire town of Innsmouth was quite tense and gloomy. The torrential rain that lasted for several days not only did not stop, but became heavier and heavier. But in this weather, Innsmouth people did not choose to stay at home. On the contrary, they walked out of their homes in twos and threes like shaking zombies, gathered together, rushed forward along the street, and went to the Dagon Church on the coast.

No one spoke or moved on the way. They just walked forward, and then forward, until they reached the church.

This church, which once belonged to other denominations, has now been transformed into a behemoth after decades of renovations, enough to accommodate hundreds of believers in it. And this is almost the majority of the population of the small town of Innsmouth.

And at the bottom of the church, Patriarch Frink was also standing there. He was covered in a black robe, looking at the dark, huge cave in front of him. This cave is where they sacrificed to the great being they believed in, and this time, they will unite and pray for Dagon's gift and guidance to destroy the murderous ghost that haunts Innsmouth.

Patriarch Frink also secretly prayed for the guidance of faith several times in private, but all he got was a vague revelation. A tall, terrifying, and stalwart figure watched the entire Innsmouth. In front of him, the entire town It's as fragile as a toy on a sand table.

However, this figure was indistinct, not only that, but when Patriarch Frink looked at him, he only felt a trembling fear from the depths of his soul.

"Mr. Frink."

"————!"

Patriarch Frink was startled by the figure that came from his ear. He quickly came back to his senses, turned his head to look, and saw beside him, a fat man was frowning and staring at him. He was Fu The patriarch of the Elson family. On weekdays, Frink would definitely have ridiculed his fat body like a pig, but now, he is not in the mood.

"What's wrong?"

"It's time for the ceremony to begin."

Fulsom nodded to Frink, who also took a long breath, then stared forward with wide eyes.

"Of course...then, let's begin."
