Ultraman in the world of grams

Chapter 45
The unavoidable stench spread wantonly, the air was full of rot and nausea, and the dark night was superimposed with thick fog, making this seaport town even more treacherous.

Especially when everyone in the Miskatonic expedition knew that there was something even more terrifying hidden in the mist, even the weather-beaten Captain Linden could not help but fall into anxiety.

But this experienced middle-aged man didn't show it, he still maintained that serious and resolute demeanor, standing there calmly.

This gave the players a shot in the arm.

In times of extreme fear and anxiety, such a leader is necessary.

"We have to find a way to get out of here." Captain Linden said in a deep voice, "But it has been confirmed several times before, and we can't leave the area of ​​the fog, which is this small town."

"Then what should I do?" A short and fat team member cried with a sad face, "I don't want to become that kind of zombie!"

"altar."

Captain Linden spit out a word slowly, making the others' eyes widen.

"Since we can't break through the periphery, then we will find a way from the source."

"!"

Everyone was very surprised, even puzzled.

"Based on the time in the diary, it may have been a while since this sacrifice." Captain Linden analyzed calmly, "The summoning has been successful, so the altar for the sacrifice is basically useless. We cannot be sure of the summoned one." What is the thing, and there is no way to confirm where it is.”

"Instead of continuing to search in this small town or forcefully breaking through the fog, it is better to go to the altar to find the clues left behind. With the diary's last madness, they should not have much mood to clear up the clues. For us Said it should be of great help, first of all, we have to confirm what kind of existence is that summoned!"

"But...what if the summoned existence is still hovering around the altar?"

"Go to the truck and unload the stuff."

…………

"Captain, the sacrificial place is near the harbor." The member who was looking for clues led the others to the seaside, "We found a large number of fish corpses around, some of them were so rotten that they didn't even know what they were. I can't even see it!"

"Three people took their things to the beach to see if they could find anything." Captain Linden ordered, "The others went around the altar to find clues."

Along the way, Alice kept observing the surroundings.

The fog was so dense that even the lanterns of the expedition team could not break through the eerie night.

From time to time, Ellis would step on a soft, sticky, unidentified black liquid object, which also exuded a strange fishy smell.The stone roads in the small town are covered with dark moss, and red, green and black objects are also stuck on the road here and there.

This place is countless times more disgusting than a bombed latrine.

Their sense of smell is poisoned by the smell all the time, and the original adjustment function of the brain, that is, the function of getting used to the smell after being in an environment for a long time, does not work at all.This abnormal taste is more like directly attacking their spirits.

As the footsteps deepened, there were more and more rotten substances here.

Ellis could even see the pale fish heads staring at them with their black eye sockets. Their eyes had rotted away, leaving only a fragile shell to show what they were originally.

Many of these disgusting things jumped on the ground near the harbor with a strange melody, distorted and inexplicable, this is some kind of large-scale sacrifice...

The geologist William, who also came with the team, couldn't bear it. His stomach was overwhelmed, and his throat was filled with sour water. He even felt that his mouth was full of rotten taste.

For ordinary scholars who are new to these, his performance is good enough.

Enduring the discomfort, he took out the notebook he originally used for drawing maps from his arms, endured the strange discomfort and confusion, tried to identify these strange shapes on the ground, and drew them on the paper based on his own feelings Roughly the whole picture.

"Your inspiration is good."

Ellis didn't know when he came to his side, his sword eyebrows were slightly adjusted, and he stared at the shape drawn by William with a little surprise, "It's the first time for ordinary people to see this kind of large sacrifice, and they will be left uncontrollably here." Affected by the insanity of the people... and the sacrificial patterns here have been greatly damaged, and many rotten pieces of meat are also stuck nearby, it is difficult to distinguish accurately."

"is it?"

William's tone was a little weak, and his spirit was being tortured all the time, but he was still strong enough to copy everything he could recognize.

And handed to Ellis:

"I think you should be more familiar with these than me, can you see something?"

Although his face was pale, William still looked at Ms. Ellis expectantly. He escaped from the hotel together with the historian and formed a deep friendship. He trusted this heroic lady very much.

Alice took William's notebook, frowned, raised his head from time to time to observe the surrounding altars, and his expression became more serious:

"These symbols...represent corpses...are these...time? And...the universe...?"

Eisley has studied a lot of things with her mentor, and she has also dabbled in these mystical aspects. Even at Miskatonic University, she is considered a good scholar.

But here, she felt more and more troublesome.

Many of the ciphertexts and spells used in this sacrifice were completely beyond her comprehension!

She could only barely make a judgment.

"Have you gained anything?" Captain Linden came to the side of the two scholars.

"No..." Alice shook his head with a wry smile, "I'm sorry for my mentor, the sacrificial runes here are very strange to me..."

"Me too." Captain Linden also kept observing, but he didn't get many clues at all.

"Now I can only roughly speculate that the corpse is used to summon an existence from time or from the universe." Ellis frowned, "The altar has serious damage marks, and those marks are all leading to... the sea. !"

As soon as the words fell, they looked at the harbor not far away in a tacit understanding.

"It seems that the summoned guy swam out of the sea." William speculated in a low voice.

"no..."

Captain Linden's face turned ugly for a moment, and he hurriedly shouted to the team members near the harbor:
"Get out of there quickly, quick!"

Unfortunately, it's too late...

There was a sharp and ear-piercing roar from the box brought down from the truck, the iron shell broke instantly, and the hook with a cold light rushed straight into the huge existence under the sea surface.

The surface of the sea is boiling.

　I will be testing the waters soon, and I will try to do more from tomorrow. I hope you can give me some follow-up, please.
