  Chapter 886 One hundred and seventy-seven. Sacrifices on Revival Day

  In the evening, the golden sunlight that penetrated the weak spots of the dark clouds poured into the ancient eaves and the dilapidated chimneys, which enveloped the tranquil atmosphere of the storm, but soon, the thick dark clouds blocked the escaped sunlight tightly.

  Luri peeks at the bayside port again through the blurry telescope.

  The factory with black smoke on the water bank is like a refinery or some other processing factory, and workers are busy in and out of the surrounding.

   If these were to be counted everywhere in the town, the port square would feel ominous and abominable.

   The reliefs of the stone pillars standing on the edge of the square seem not to belong to the creation of human civilization.

  Wash-la-la--

   There were smudges on the walls, and the sea water poured into the room through the damp wooden boards, and the waves rose.

   The coldness that wraps around the scalp is about to move and spreads quietly.

   The surging sea water covered his knees, and Lu Li was still immersed in the exquisiteness of the stone pillar reliefs with his binoculars up—

Snapped.

   The light sound in his ear awakened Lu Li. Patiently suppressed the yearning for the unknown and looked away.

  The sea water fades, and the dryness returns to the room.

  The cold and slippery scales on the top of the head spread out more, and you can almost smell the unpleasant fishy smell on your body.

"continue."

   The monocular is again aimed at the port square.

  Some disgusting, Innsmouth-looking locals gathered outside the square in civilian attire, and religious believers in religious uniforms said something to the praying townspeople.

   Lu Li heard faint murmurs, as well as waves emerging with the murmurs.

  The sea slapped Lu Li's body standing like a reef, submerging his chest and his face. Black hair flutters like seaweed...

   "Lu Li... Lu Li..."

The distant call of    echoed in the ears like a dream, and disappeared with the surging waves.

  Lu Li listened carefully to the beautiful whispers of the believers that sublimated their souls.

   "I'm Anna..."

   The distant call sounded clearly, and the seawater that filled the room turned into a bubble.

  嘭——

   The monocular that fell off the table rolls to the edge.

  It was scary that even when Lu Li regained consciousness, the obscure whispers of hatred still lingered in his ears.

"continue."

   A faintly trembling palm grasps the monocular.

   "If you sink further, you may not be able to come back." Ana said.

   Lu Li's dark eyes filled with serenity paused for a moment, then looked at the port again.

"continue."

  Plop—

  The land under his feet disappeared quietly, the weightless Lu Li fell into the sea, and the turbulent sea drowned him.

  The light spilled into the dark ink-like ocean, smearing the outline of the shallow sea, and the slowly falling figure.

   The tired body could not lift up any strength, sinking into the dark and deep abyss.

  Lu Li lowered his head slowly, the black eyes under the eyelashes condensed into the abyss.

   As if time has lost its meaning, the outline of a behemoth faintly emerges in the eternal silent abyss.

   The outline at the bottom of the abyss that was deeper than the gloom seemed to be crazy at first glance, but Lu Li watched him safely and observed his appearance.

   He seemed to be squatting in the abyss and seemed to be floating. He is like a graceful girl, and like an indescribable existence. The tentacles stretched like a girl's long hair. Revered and feared, beautiful and corrupt.

   His huge ship-like palm slowly lifted, supporting the falling Lu Li in the smudged darkness.

  The existence of deep sea sleep is waiting for you to dream.

  …

   Lu Li, who fell in front of the window, slowly woke up.

   "How long have I slept?"

The    inquiry was not answered, and there was no phantom figure in the room.

  Lu Li looked out the window. The oppressive cloud layer was only a little darker than before, and it didn't take long.

   Remembering everything you saw in delirium or dreams, it seems that the one standing in the abyss is the lord of the deep sea? Or Dagon, Mother Hydra?

   was attached to the mucous membrane, and his palms like flippers stood up against the corner of the table. Lu Li walked to the prepared water basin, vaguely reflecting a hateful outline.

   Even Lu Li didn't want to recall the algae-like complexion and the clammy, clammy scales.

   The gloves prepared are useless, but the scarf and hat are still useful. Like a businessman, Lu Li wrapped a scarf to cover his face, put on a hat, and looked at the square with his diabolical diamond-shaped vertical pupils. He left the room and went back downstairs after suffering no more pollution.

  The old man was shocked by Lu Li's change, staring at those eyes that were completely different from madness, symbolizing reason and quietness, he sighed heavily: "No one can refuse eternal life, even an exorcist..."

   "Where do I go to find out the whereabouts of the people I brought back from outside." Lu Li had no intention of revealing his true purpose.

   "Church."

"thanks."

   Lu Li walked out of the hotel under a more complicated gaze than the last time he left.

  The townspeople on the street no longer stared at Lu Li with strange eyes, on the contrary, they were filled with sincere human-like smiles. There are even enthusiastic mothers approaching Lu Li and introducing him to her daughter or any woman in the family——

  The townspeople were no longer following him, so he got rid of the mother's Lu Li and walked towards the confluence in the south of the town.

   But when he walked into the abandoned house in the south, Lu Li stopped.

   Seeing what he looks like now, Ophelia will not allow him to return to the town again, and may even force him to take him away.

   After a brief thought, Lu Li turned around and returned to the town.

   The doors and windows of many houses around him were blocked. These houses were used to house "patients infected with a terrible plague" before the Dagon esoteric took over the town. And now this place has become a hatching place for deep divers, what is the existence locked in the house?

   Passing through the desolate and eerie abandoned houses, Lu Li returned to the center of the relatively “prosperous” town, where the pillared church of Dagon Esotericism was next to him.

  Lu Li walked into the gloomy and quiet church, and when his eyes adjusted to the darkness in the church, he saw the priest in the teaching uniform and the exquisite gold crown approaching like a wriggling, murmured vague whispers,

   "Outsiders, we see everything you do. You are welcome to follow the will of Father God Dagon and the great existence and join us. Now, please make the first oath to Father God Dagon."

   There are three oaths, and the newly joined Lu Li is not qualified to take the double oath. The first oath required not being a whistleblower, or he would be abandoned by Dagon and bear the price.

  Follow the priest to recite the oath far less serious than imagined. The priest is happy to announce that Lu Li has become a member of the Dagon Secret Order, and the consciousness of the Father and Mother will be watching you.

   Although Lu Li didn't feel anything.

   "Where are the other people like me." Lu Li asked the priest who was about to leave: "My companion Katarina was taken away from the frozen port of Wiener a few days ago by you. Do you know where she is?"

   "It's us, children. Like you, they're probably in every corner of town, and you'll see them at Revival at night."

   "I have something important."

   "Don't worry child, you will see her, tonight... I promise Dagon."
