Chapter 295: The Ship Comes

The songs of the deep divers trembled with the sea water, and a layer of faint red light emanated from the huge golden statue of Fortan.

The head of the octopus that organized the ceremony had a gleam of light in its dark yellow oblate eyes.

As he raised the golden staff covered in blood mist, a low murmur began to mix into the singing. Let this creepy voice add a touch of weirdness.

The blood-stained sea water condensed on the statue, and the red light of the statue of Ftan became more and more red, almost completely covering the golden color.

The idol seemed to show signs of melting, but there was only a slight sign. After a hymn ended, the idol returned to its original state.

A trace of disappointment appeared on the face of the octopus, and with a wave of his hand, black foam enveloped his body, and he disappeared in front of the deep diver.

Gradually, the consciousness of the deep divers began to return, and they dispersed in small groups.

Di Pu has been here for a relatively short time, and he doesn't have his own social circle. He floats alone in the water, looking a bit out of place.

"Master Familia looks a little unhappy today, he didn't even finish his prayers." Dipper muttered to himself, looking at the position of the octopus's head just now.

Soon the surrounding area became empty, and Dipper started to swing his webbed feet and walked towards home.

As soon as he came out of the prayer building, Di Pu saw six tribesmen next to him binding a killer whale with seaweed. They cut open its skin with a knife and put a sea urchin that was emitting black gas into it.

The killer whale began to twitch violently, and screamed in pain from its mouth.

Hearing the screams, the deep divers showed excitement on their faces, as if torturing others could make them happy.

But this is not over, the deep divers standing in front of the fish head began to take out half of the extremely sharp shells, ready to skin the killer whale.

Suddenly they stopped and waved to Di Pu who was beside him. Looking at their pair of dead gray eyes without lids, Di Pu shook his head and stepped back.

The deep divers who tormented the killer whales didn't care when they saw that the little guy who had just arrived refused.

The newcomers are so shy, but it doesn't matter, after he's been here for decades, centuries, even thousands of years, when he's done having any fun, he'll join in.

Di Pu swam towards home silently, and the people around him began to try their best to please themselves, and their age could be judged by their ways.

Simple sex and games are basically children who have just come down for decades, and those who start torturing others or self-mutilation are some middle-aged people who are hundreds of years old, and the older they are, the more cruel the methods are.

As for the elderly over a thousand years old, most of them would go back to their rooms, and Di Pu didn't know and didn't want to know what they were doing there.

Just as he swam past a pair of lingering clansmen, a female deep diver appeared in front of him.

There was a trace of fear on Di Pu's face when he saw her, it was his mother.

The female deep diver raised her dark green sharp claws, and Di Pu quickly shook his head and started to back away slowly.

Suddenly, a cold body came up from behind, Di Pu turned his head, it was his mother's mother.

Immediately after his feet felt cold, he looked down and saw that it was his mother's other child, his sister.

The three embraced Di Pu at the same time, rubbing their cold bodies against each other.

"Ah!!!" Di Pu pushed them away with all his strength, and ran away like crazy.

The three of them looked at each other, and swam towards the tangled meat ball of seven or eight deep divers beside them.

Dipper huddled in the corner of his room, curled up with fear and trembling all over.

As an orphan, he longed for his family so much that when he was a beggar, he even drew his family on the ground and lay down on the ground, pretending to be with them.

Even if he was hungry, he would happily think about how gentle his mother was, how strong his father was, how kind his grandma was, and how happy he would be with them.

When he first came to Ihasri, he hugged his mother for the first time with this feeling, but what happened next terrified him. He didn't want this kind of family, definitely not this kind of family.

Di Pu felt extremely disgusted, but what frightened him even more was that in the depths of his dark heart, there was actually a slight wavering of compromise.

"Hey... Do you think that if we stay here forever, will we gradually become like them..." A voice came from Di Pu's mind.

Facing this question, none of the three personalities answered, they vaguely knew the answer.

After half a sound, another voice sounded from Di Pu. "I don't know what you think, but I miss the captain, and I want to go back to the island."

Dipper swam to the house on the east side of the house and picked up a mirror he found in the sunken ship.

In the mirror was Dipper's reflection, eyes protruding so that the lids couldn't close, skin turning gray-green, teeth like needles, and dark red fins standing on top of his head.

"Don't think about it, we can't go back, we are monsters now, we are no longer human beings."

The hand with sharp nails suddenly moved, it inserted into the green scales on the face frantically, as if trying to tear off the outer layer of terror.

It's a pity that under the scales is not the smooth human skin, but the bloody muscle layer.

A crying voice exploded in Dipper's mind. "I want to go back to the Narwhal! I want to explore with the captain and the others!! I am the boatswain of the Narwhal!!"

The other personality and Dipper quickly stopped the self-harm.

Just as Dipper was comforting his emotionally broken personality, there was a special tremor coming from outside the door covered in barnacles and seaweed.

This is someone blowing a warning conch, which means there is a boat on the water.

Dipper put down the mirror in his hand, opened the door and swam out. When he raised his head, he found several small boats passing slowly on the water above his head.

Di Pu didn't move, because he saw the clansmen holding harpoons in their hands and surrounding the boat.

Human beings here not only represent prayer props, but also represent that they want new torture objects.

But at this moment, something jumped off the boat above, it seemed to be a human being.

The deep divers who went up did not intend to attack, but instead led them to swim towards the city below.

Everyone, including Dipper, was curious about this scene, and they quickly swam over.

Soon he saw clearly that the identities of the people who got off the boat were a group of guys in black robes.

They floated neatly in the water, like a group of ghosts in the water.

Seeing that special style of robes, Di Pu knew the identities of these people. He had seen this kind of robes before, and they were members of the Fortan religion.

The rippling sea water allowed Dipper to see clearly the terrifying face hidden under the cloak.

The mouth that should have teeth is full of octopus tentacles with suction cups, and they are different from the family that just organized the prayer ceremony.

The tentacles of these things are thinner and denser, just like beards.
