"𠳐！ Tiangang A swing knocked down the merfolk in front of me, but the distant merfolk and half-merfolk keep coming.
"Oh, these things just keep coming, can't finish them off at all. If it weren't for the fear of losing sanity points, I'd let them suck me dry," Tiangang said helplessly.
"My advice is not to do that. In mythology, Dagon and Hydra exist as servants of the ancient ruler Cthulhu. They are the leaders, father god, and mother goddess of the Deep Ones. Tianjie dodged a trident thrown by a merfolk and continued to explain: 'Now, in dealing with the merfolk who are attacking us, it is the gift of Dagon - the descendants of the Deep Ones and humans. If you ingest this, it's like consuming the servants of the ancient gods, and basically, you lose your humanity.'
'But besides becoming terrible-looking, what other benefits are there to becoming a merfolk? They throw themselves into the fray, sacrificing themselves...' Li Mu continuously shoots flames from his hand, accurately hitting the merfolk in the eye sockets, each fireball capable of paralyzing a merfolk."
"Here, the benefits have arrived," Tianjie raised his chin, only to see the place he pointed to, where a long-dead merfolk was slowly getting up. "Immortality, the ultimate desire of humans. At least here, it is immortality..."
"..."
"So do we have any way to get rid of these lunatics and get out of this place?" Liu Yu dodged projectiles nearby.
"I originally thought about using the barrier here, but the surrounding area is filled with terrifying mist, so I don't think we can just walk out," Tiangang replied with a frown.
"At the beginning, the people who brought us in, those military personnel, must have a 'gate' to come and go." Tianjie said.
Tiangang nodded, "Combined with what we found in the hotel, those so-called rescue teams should be related to Daigun Esoteric Buddhism."
"Is there any doctrine in this cult?" Li Mu sweated slightly on his forehead. In order to protect his girlfriend, he took on the defense from both sides alone, and it was indeed a bit of a struggle.
"This cult has ancient origins, but Daigun Esoteric Buddhism itself seems to have formed in 1830, after private ship captain Obadiah Marsh negotiated with the deep-sea divers of Devil's Reef near the fishing village of Insmouth, Massachusetts. At that time, due to the depletion of the fishing industry (apparently caused by interference with deep-sea fishing), Obadiah Marsh's deep-sea gold mine resources were depleted, and the area was suffering from economic problems. In the spiritual and social life of the people of Insmouth, Daigun Esoteric Buddhism quickly replaced the Freemasons and gained the highest power in the town in October 1926, but the original cult was abruptly and forcefully ended by the intervention of the U.S. government..." Tianjie began reciting history.
"No, no, no, my foolish Odoudou, we need a way to break the game, not some cult history." Tiangang In fact, we are also guarding both sides of the house, but the endurance of the Eight Wonders technique is much stronger than Li Mu's ability.
"Okay, okay, let me see..." Tianjie flipped through the pages, and after a while, just when Li Mu was about to collapse, Tianjie had some news.
"The members of the Dagun Secret Society conduct sacrifices using young men and women twice a year, sometimes engaging in commodity trading. These rituals take place on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month and on Halloween. Even when dealing with isolated Pacific island tribes, the Deep Divers Society still manages to carry out these traditional practices," Tiangang asked, "What does this mean?"
"The hotel should have other people! These people brought us in to sacrifice us. The scale of the sacrifices on the Wusuo Festival and Halloween should be their two largest events each year. We can find a chance to slip out." Tianjie suddenly realized.
Li Mu asked, "How do you know that we are being sacrificed on Wusuo or Halloween?"
Tianjie pointed to his electronic watch: "If this thing hasn't broken, then today is May 1st, Lixia."
"Is it too difficult to sneak back now?" Liu Yu asked.
"..." The three of them fell silent. If it weren't for her slipping and screaming in the shower, attracting the monster, they would have remained hidden in the darkness.
Realizing that Liu Yu had misspoken, she didn't seem to care. It was Li Mu who stepped in to smooth things over: "What if we blow this place up and then escape in the smoke?"
"The people here don't use natural gas or liquefied gas, they only use firewood. What can you explode with? What can produce smoke?" Tianjie, who was familiar with Insmaes, said.
"Uh..." Li Mu was speechless.
Liu Yu suddenly brightened up and said, "Fish oil! The fishermen by the sea must have some, right?"
"Hey, it's rare that you have a good idea," Tianjie said sarcastically.
"Hmph!"
"Fish oil can indeed explode, but not the small amount they have stored, and this stuff doesn't produce smoke when it explodes..." Tianjie thought of a good idea from the fish oil. "Do the fishermen here catch whales?"
"Just as we escaped from the hotel, there was indeed an untreated whale carcass by the seaside," confirmed Li Mu.
Tianjie nodded: "Using the formula pV=nRT (where p is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of gas molecules per unit volume, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature), then Tiangang will be responsible for moving the whale, and Li Mu, you will be in charge of heating and pressurizing... Let's go big..." Tianjie looked at the continuous stream of merfolk and squinted at the large hotel on the distant cliff.
"How do we deal with the smoke screen?"
"It's simple, the reaction of phosphorus pentoxide and concentrated sulfuric acid produces phosphoric acid and sulfur trioxide. I have yellow phosphorus and concentrated sulfuric acid here, so I can produce sulfur trioxide in a moment. Let's just make do with fish oil for the liquid smoke agent, hopefully it won't be much different from coal tar..." Tianjie muttered to himself, while a group of academic underachievers nearby completely didn't understand.
"Um... What are you saying?" Liu Yu is confused.
"Smoke bomb, its basic materials." Tiangang did think of that.
"Yes, we have the basic materials for smoke bombs, and if we don't, we can use substitutes. This kind of situation is quite common in the instance dungeons," Tianjie shrugged.
"..." The crowd was speechless.
Tianjie ignored them, took out a simple device to prepare some smoke bombs, and said, "Let's make a few smoke bombs first. After that, Li Mu will heat up the unprocessed whale carcasses. I will calculate the time of the whale explosion, then we will make a diversion and retreat using the smoke bombs."
"Although it's full of loopholes, there's no other way." Liu Yu started to get inflamed again.
"…If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute," Tianjie glared at her.
"That's not quite right…" Tiangang looked into the distance.
"Because the merfolk are decreasing," Tianjie said without looking up as he assembled a smoke bomb.
"Why?" Li Mu asked, taking a rare moment to catch his breath.
"Why? Just because it's getting light out? Although these things are not vampires or werewolves, the Nightingales like the night..." Tianjie got up, stretched lazily, and continued, "Smoke bombs are not very effective during the day, so we need to act now."
"Why not wait until night?" Liu Yu asked in confusion.
"The sacrifices of Wusu have all taken place at dawn. Will there still be offerings coming in at night? If there are no offerings coming in at night, how can we leave?" Speechless, Tianjie distributed smoke bombs to Tiangang and Li Mu.
"We'd better hurry, it's getting light soon," Tianjie said, looking at his watch. It was exactly 5 o'clock.
