Chapter 577 The Swollen Daughter
“I didn’t see clearly what it was...”
Milo recalled the appearance of the half-face hidden behind the black folding fan under the water just now.
He was somewhat puzzled, because the ancient religious groups and races that were most closely related to the "sea" in the concept were Dagon and the Deep Divers, who were neither human nor fish.
But what he saw just now was a girl with an obvious oriental appearance.
And the black folding fan that half-hides her face is obviously something from the rich Far East.
But her charming and charming eyebrows are incompatible with all the filth around her, and have absolutely nothing to do with the ugly-looking half-murloc race covered in mucus and sludge.
It was like suddenly seeing a nun in the pleasure room. (But that doesn't seem to be against the law)
Reminiscent of Chandler's judgment about "ghosts", Milo could vaguely feel that the Pohnpei Peninsula looked calm on the surface, but in fact it was under the rocks. There is an undercurrent surging. Not only are the Ravens, Crowes and Dream Visions competing with each other, but there are also some strange and ancient forces from the Far East mixed in.
It seems unlikely that Crowe will be picked out casually during this trip.
It was obvious that the secretly competing forces were all staring at the silent Raleye. They were all coveting the "Luoyan City Teaching Book", including the vision of the oriental girl that appeared in the water. Chandler's judgment was not wrong, and it was extremely important. The probability is that it is preventing the indigenous people from reaching soul resonance with R'lyeh.
In fact, if it was just an illusion, Milo wouldn't think much about it.
But the hostility conveyed by the illusion was indeed extremely real, and the girl's eyes made Milo feel a deep chill and threat.
Contact the generally accepted statement that one of the most powerful Old Ones sleeps in R'lyeh's mansion.
The "ghost" that appears now can prevent R'lye from resonating with the will of the indigenous people, and also makes Milo, the former Shadow Sequence, feel threatened.
Then it must be at the level of Shadow or above.
…
“It’s so lively…”
Milo shook his head.
The long voyage really helps broaden horizons and gain knowledge. Wherever we go, we have already come into contact with three old rulers, including Dagon, Mr. Ke, and "Ghost".
Who knows what heavyweight stuff will come out later.
It seems that not only the people in Nanwei City used to gather together and the people were simple, but the customs and customs here in the colony are also very different.
No wonder Raven chose to cooperate with the colonial army after betraying the church...
...
The most important thing now is to find Crowe first. What is Milo doing? Comes from the textbook.
But to find Emma, you need to enter the abyss first, and the method of entering the abyss is only controlled by Crow. Both Crow and Raven want to kill each other. Now both sides are hiding and not showing up. Only "Luoyan City Teaching Book" can cross the abyss. Crow led out, but there was an unknown old ruler from the east standing in the middle.
“It’s a little complicated.”
The “ghost” with a gray-yellow background completely disappeared, and Milo never saw its shadow again.
The indigenous people in the reservation camp are still performing chanting rituals, but even if they use the correct and complete version of the spell, they cannot resonate with Raleye because the "ghost" is still in the east In this sea area, it is blocking the connection between the underwater and the above water.
At this time, Milo was standing alone on the beach, looking worried at the vast sea.
"So what is this..."
...
At the same moment.
Rebecca, located in the port town of western Pohnpei Island, also made a similar soliloquy - "So what is this..."
She sneaked into the most luxurious mansion near the port, which was the private residence of Sir Raffles of Solomon's influence.
In charge of most of the business in the Pohnpei Peninsula, a key eastern maritime transit port city, Raffles therefore owned an unimaginable wealth reserve and was able to live like many senior colonial military officers on expeditions. He has lived a luxurious life that is no less than that of the nobles in the country, owning private ships, factories, and businesses. If the Pohnpei Peninsula had not been limited in area, his manor would have been built larger.
…
But even during the day, the lax gardeners and guards at Raffles Manor were not aware of Rebecca's sneaking in.
It was almost noon, but Raffles himself had not yet woken up from the effects of the alcohol he had consumed last night.
The first thing Rebecca did after entering his room was to push open the glass of the window to let the annoying smell of cigarettes and alcohol in the room dissipate. Then she turned her back to the bed and lay as unconscious as a dead fish. One man and three women calmly studied the information piled up on the desk.
As for the sentence "So what is this?", she muttered after seeing one of the navy's action reports and related report information documents.
It is related to a military operation that took place in the eastern sea, that is, in the coastal area of the indigenous reservation on the side of the Iloa Forest.
This report, which was piled haphazardly on the desk by Raffles, has a totem mark exclusive to the top brass of the navy. It is a confidential document. In addition to the confidentiality level mark, it is among the specified operating units. A black hat-style seal also appeared. This thing is no stranger to law enforcement practitioners. It is a mysterious special force that has appeared in the colony in recent years, that is, the hunter organization.
The actions and results reported in the document, as well as the related information and wealth gains are quite astonishing.
For some purpose, the navy and hunters joined forces to intercept a merchant ship from the Far East in the eastern waters.
According to the report, all unrelated persons on the ship were shot dead on the spot.
Only a few members were captured alive.
As for the basis for judging "irrelevant" and "relevant", it is the tattoo of ancient oriental characters on the left armpit of the crew member.
The literal meaning of the tattoo is probably - the swollen daughter.
It is not difficult to infer from the meaning between the lines that these people with special tattoos come from a special religious order in the Far East.
…
The report also comes with many report documents on the results of the interrogations conducted by the colonial army, which have not yet been submitted to superiors. There are also specially developed photos of the prisoners, and the content is extremely cruel and bloody. , the people in custody have basically been tortured beyond human form.
And the photos seem to have been taken in a dark underground environment. The dazzling flash effect makes those desperate eyes reflect the terrifying light, the weird tilted shooting angle and the unscrupulous way of shooting faces and wounds. They are all challenging the bottom line of human nature.
Compared with those inhuman and cruel interrogation methods, Rebecca's usual punching and kicking of suspects in the interrogation room was completely childish.
...
What makes Rebecca even more puzzled is that there are clearly visionaries in the hunter organization. If they want to get any information from the mouths of these members of the Eastern Order, they can give it to them. Have a good time, and then use the perspective of the undead to peek. The information obtained in this way will be more true and accurate. There is no need to spend a lot of time on torture interrogation...
Various signs show that whether Solomon or Monsis, they are They simply wanted to torture these poor crew members. The purpose of torture was the torture itself, not the means of interrogation.
…
While flipping through the information, her movements suddenly stopped, because in the corner of one of the photos, Rebecca could clearly see the half hidden in the shadow. Zhang girl's face.
The girl's eyes were staring at him.
To be precise, I am looking at the photographer’s lens...
