Chapter 662: Chapter 490: Shock at the Fishing Port_2 Chapter 662: Chapter 490: Shock at the Fishing Port_2 “I understand now, thank you.”

The head of the Flint family of course understood what the chief of police meant–Innsmouth was once a town, at that time it was famous for shipbuilding and was quite prosperous. But with the decline of Innsmouth’s manufacturing industry, it now more resembles a village, with most people gathered in the eastern part of the town, and many other places are ruins and wreckage of houses long abandoned.

Before, few people would come to Innsmouth, the superstition and rumors that circulated about them, although foolish, effectively deterred outsiders from trying to explore. But now it’s different, more and more people are coming to Innsmouth, among them are tourists, and some who confuse the residents of Innsmouth–like backpackers, these idiots who don’t have much money and just run around with a bag, even the residents of Innsmouth, who worship the Evil God, are baffled, curious why people would travel everywhere without money to eat.

Of course, these idiots are also the best sacrifices for Innsmouth.

As he left the police station, the head of the Flint family looked up at the sky – the weather was fine, with gloomy dark clouds covering the sky, no dazzling sunlight, the humid vapor in the air invigorated him, making him feel refreshed. But for some reason, the head of the Flint family had a bad premonition.

It seemed, this was just the beginning.

The Flint family head was right.

Early the next morning, what came with the eerie screams was shocking news.

“It’s the people of Fulson! Their people have been killed too!”

The one who brought the news to the Flint family head was the same young man, only this time he wasn’t beaten down by the family head for bringing bad news. But this news also made people feel uneasy.

Hearing the answer from his subordinates, the Flint family head’s brows furrowed again, he had suspected something was wrong, and now it seemed true.

However, he planned to wait and see what was really going on.

But the situation was becoming increasingly unsettling.

After Fulson’s slave-catcher team failed, it was now Spock Association’s turn – those fervent believers, full of blood and excitement, and worshipping the great deity of the deep sea, ran into a stumbling block. After learning about the experience of Flint’s and Fulson’s slave-catcher teams, the Spock Association, furious, set up several patrol teams. They were no longer the slave-catchers with fishing nets and pitchforks, but Militia groups fully armed with sophisticated firearms and weapons, who vowed to find the murderer of the residents of Innsmouth Town and have him die in despair during the most painful and crazy sacrifices.

So when night fell, the patrol team made up of dozens of capable, strong, brave young men set off, they held flashlights in their hands, and a variety of firearms and weapons, it was even rumored that they received help from those inhabitants who hid in the deep sea, not belonging to this land.

But it was still useless.

The next morning, their corpses were found in the square fountain of the town, each of them died in a miserable state, their guns had not even been fired, and there were no signs of struggle on their bodies, but they were all dead. Each of them had rounded eyes, twisted, grim, fearful expressions, as if they had seen some terrible and unspeakable monster……

Hmm?

Something seems off?

For several consecutive days, Innsmouth Town has fallen into extreme panic, the residents lock themselves in their houses as soon as it gets dark, and the head of the Flint family and others are not idle either, they catch all the outlanders who knew about the murders, or those who try to probe the insides, and throw them all into the dungeon as gifts for the sacrifice. At the same time, they put in great efforts to investigate the houses in Innsmouth one by one to find any clues.

However, the investigation only shocked everyone more!

As everyone knows, after Innsmouth’s decline, only a small area is inhabited by people, most of the buildings in other areas are uninhabited, their doors and windows are nailed shut with wooden planks, and no one lives there, it looks like an abandoned empty house—-of course, this is only the view of the outsiders.

But the reality is not so.

The people of Innsmouth all have the bloodline of the Deep Divers, so the older they are, the less they look like humans. In this case, of course, they couldn’t let outsiders see them. Therefore, when their appearance changes to a certain extent, they will hide in these outwardly sealed empty houses, and will enter the sea after fully transforming into Deep Divers.

However, it was only when the four major families checked that they found out that the people who were originally waiting in the houses to finish their transformation and return to the sea were all dead!

They were all killed!!

What was even more terrifying was that they couldn’t even determine whether these people had been killed long ago, or had just died recently!

What on earth is going on?!

Who on earth did this? Who did it?

This time, all the major families were in a panic.

At the beginning, they thought it was just each other trying to pull each other back – which is actually normal, even if they all believe in the Evil God, it doesn’t mean they don’t have conflicts.

For example, there are even doctrinal disputes between the Flint family and the Fulson family – the Flint family has always claimed that the lineage of Innsmouth is inherited from one of their family’s “Holy Woman” who shared a bed with a great existence from the deep sea and became pregnant.

However, the Fulson family believes that this claim is an insult to the “Godness”, they claim that the “Holy Woman” did not share a bed with the great existence, but received the blessing of the great existence in her dreams, and then gave birth to the descendants of the Deep Divers as a virgin……

So, around the doctrine of the Holy Woman’s childbirth, both sides would argue, the former thinks that the latter disrespects the historical facts, the latter thinks that the former is trying to add glory to themselves by disrespecting the deity….

In this case, trying to pull each other back is a basic operation. In fact, at the very beginning, the four major families suspected each other of having problems, so they restrained each other during the investigation, but when they found that all the residents who were about to transform into Deep Divers were killed, they immediately realized something was wrong.

You should know that these Deep Divers are supposed to rush to the embrace of the great existence after they have transformed completely! They pull each other’s legs is their business, who would dare to do such a thing, that would be disrespecting the deity!

Who did it?!

At this moment, all the rulers of the four major families were chilled to the core. They had always believed that Innsmouth was a place with no secrets under their control. They lived here generation after generation, everything was controlled by them, there could not be any problems! Even if an outsider comes here, the four major families would know as soon as possible, but can someone kill under their noses without them knowing?

“We need to sit down and really discuss this matter!”

At this point, the Flint family head finally made a decision.
