Chapter 243: Another Secret Sect
Suneo nodded and patted his chest, saying, "I'll take responsibility for this. I'm confident that I can find a few brave and detail-oriented teammates. We'll be able to cooperate with Mr. Liu Xing's actions. After all, this is a form of self-rescue for us."
"By the way, Mr. Liu Xing, may I ask you a question? What do you mean by the mythical creature you mentioned?" Shizuka asked curiously.
Liu Xing took out his phone and showed a picture. The picture depicted the body of an artificial Deep One, which Yin En had obtained from the Sawada Family.
"This is the mythical creature I was talking about. However, this one is an artificial monster. It may not meet your expectations, but I'm sure you can see the bullet holes on its body. This artificial monster can withstand attacks from over ten light machine guns and dozens of rifles. You can imagine how powerful this mythical creature is."
"Furthermore, this type of mythical creature belongs to a group known as the Deep Ones. You can also call them fish-men. They look very similar to the fish-men in many games. However, the lifespan of these Deep Ones is almost unlimited unless they are killed by external forces. Therefore, their intelligence far surpasses that of humans. That's why they have many followers on land, such as the Deep Sea Gospel Society on this ship. They worship and intend to sacrifice us to that specific Deep One, which is one of the most powerful beings among the Deep Ones. I can assure you that conventional firearms won't be able to harm it."
After Shizuka and the others saw the photo and listened to Liu Xing's explanation, they were all shocked.
"So, if we encounter this Deep One, there's no point in fighting it, right?" Nobita said somewhat dejectedly.
Liu Xing shook his head and said with a smile, "The appearance fee for these mythical creatures is quite expensive. They don't just show up casually. That's why these cultists are holding a ritual, and you are essentially paying the deposit to that Deep One on behalf of these cultists."
At this point, Liu Xing suddenly thought of a question: where did Honda Koichi get the Deep One blood?
Island Nation, whether big or small, made Liu Xing think that there was a possibility that Honda Koichi obtained the Deep One blood from the Deep Sea Gospel Society, even though they considered Deep One a god...
"The King in Yellow" consisted of two acts, with the second act being particularly shocking and leading to various accidents whenever theater groups attempted to perform it. Both readers and actors gradually became controlled by Hastur, making it nearly impossible to stage the scenario.
In the modern era, "The King in Yellow" has been translated into English and can be easily found through various means. The English version is quite subtle in its content.
This English version is a thin, black-covered octavo book with the symbol of the Yellow Sign on the cover. Anyone who encounters this symbol for the first time and understands its meaning loses 0/1d6 points of sanity. However, the Yellow Sign is somewhat more useful than the Elder Sign in certain circumstances.
As for Byakhee, it is one of Hastur's minions.
In simple terms, Byakhee resembles a creature similar to the Ghoul in Warcraft III, but it usually resides in the cosmos and can fly at the speed of light. As followers of Hastur, Byakhee answer the call of those who believe in Hastur and can be used as mounts. In the Cthulhu RPG game, Byakhee often appears as a mount rather than an enemy.
Because of the hostility between Cthulhu and Hastur, the Deep Ones, who are Cthulhu's followers, and the Byakhee, who are Hastur's followers, are naturally enemies, and they generally clash when they meet.
So, Liu Xing speculated that there should be a secret sect in Island Nation that worships Hastur or Byakhee, which is why the Byakhee appeared in Island Nation and fought against the Deep Ones worshipped by the Deep Sea Gospel Society. After all, Byakhee wouldn't normally appear on Earth.
In light of this, Liu Xing believed that he would likely encounter this secret sect in his world mission.
"Well, let's get moving now. I'll contact a few people right away. As for the specific plan, we'll follow Mr. Liu Xing's arrangement," Suneo suddenly spoke up.
Liu Xing nodded and proceeded to explain his prepared plan.
