Chapter 877: “They”
”Them?”
Lin Qiye raised his head and looked to where Chen Yangrong was reaching out and pointing to, and he couldn’t see anything but the pitch-black stomach wall.
”There’s nothing there.” Lin Qiye shook his head.
”Just because you can’t see it now doesn’t mean ‘they’ don’t exist.” Chen Yangrong’s gaze seemed to penetrate the infinite void, and a touch of fervor surfaced in his eyes, “‘They’ have always been in a place that everyone can only look up to, it’s just that no one has ever noticed it. ……
’They’ are looking away, ‘they’ are waiting, ‘they’ will eventually return.”
”You mean, there’s something on the moon?”
By the coast of the fishing village, An Qingyu’s brows furrowed when she heard Chen Gou’s words.
Chen Gou nodded, “After my father died, I have been repeating this dream, every time I woke up from the dream it was in the middle of the night, and my bed was right next to the window, so when I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was that moon ……”
”What do you see?”
”Eyes.” Fear surfaced in Chen Gou’s eyes, “On the surface of the moon, there is a huge eye, it is looking at me.”
”There’s an eye on the moon?”
An Qingyu froze, looking up to the sky once again, the surface of the hidden moon shadow was blurred, and nothing could be seen to exist at all.
”I know it sounds ridiculous, but I did see it.”
”And then? Do you still see it now?”
”No. Whenever I see that eye, a golden light flashes on the moon, and then the eye disappears and everything returns to normal.”
A golden light on the moon?
An Qingyu heard this description, a wisp of thought swept through his mind like electricity, he seemed to have grasped the key to something, but also seemed to have grasped nothing ……
Just as he was about to settle down and think, a cacophony of voices came from the village behind him, as if some people were screaming and cursing angrily.
Chen Gou was stunned and turned back to look at the village, only to see that the corners of the village had been set ablaze at some point, and rolling smoke was rising.
”What happened?!”
Chen Gou saw a villager hurriedly running over, and quickly pulled him down to ask.
”Widow Wang from the west side of the village, stabbed her pregnant youngest sister with a knife!” The villager spoke eagerly.
”What?” Chen Gou’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Hasn’t the relationship between their two families always been good?”
”I don’t know! Six whole knives, all stabbed in the stomach ah! While stabbing, he also muttered something crazy: ‘your child …… my child’, followed the devil like, two men can not even pull pull!”
Chen Gou stood blankly in place, seemingly unable to understand it all.
”Come back and then tell you in detail, I now go to the next village to find a barefoot doctor, also do not know the youngest sister is still not saved back ……”
The villager sighed, accelerated his pace, and flew towards the other side of the coastline.
An Qingyu looked at his departing back and fell into silence.
He was very clear in his heart, this fishing village has been completely isolated from the world, even if this villager runs any more, he can t go to the next village, let alone find that what the barefoot doctor …… age has long since erased everything.
Anqing fish is not a doctor, do not know how to cure people, even if he can use means to save the life of that pregnant woman, there is no time.
He turned his head to look at the village that had fallen into chaos, his expression unprecedentedly grave.
If his guess was correct, this was just the beginning.
”Why hasn’t Erzhu Zi come back yet?” Chen Gou’s expression was equally anxious as he heard the news from that villager, and he turned his head to look at the sea horizon in the distance, without any ships present.
With a clench of his teeth, he pulled out his legs and ran wildly towards the place on fire.
However, just before he took two steps, his feet stumbled and he fell to the ground.
He slumped in place for a moment and slowly sat up, motionless like a statue, his entire body frozen.
”Uncle Chen?” An Qingyu frowned and quickly ran forward to help Chen Gou up, asking suspiciously, “Uncle Chen, what’s wrong with you?”
Chen Gou stared blankly ahead for a while before he regained his senses, he turned his head to look at An Qingyu, a touch of scarlet in his eyes spreading like a tidal wave.
”I heard …… it,” he muttered.
”What?”
”I heard it.” Chen Gou broke free of An Qingyu’s arm and covered his ears, his face filled with panic and disbelief, “My father …… my father is calling me?”
Shangjing City.
Vigilante headquarters, interrogation room.
Chen Lu, who was locked alone in the center of the interrogation room, his body suddenly shook as he violently raised his head, his eyes sharply tinted with a touch of scarlet.
His expression twitched madly, like he was in pain, like he was struggling ……
”It’s here again, it’s here again …… ” Chen Lu’s lips trembled lightly, the veins on his neck rippled one by one, and he muttered frantically in a voice that only he could hear, “Grandpa… …I know grandpa …… Don’t say it again, don’t ……
Damn! Damn it! Will you all shut up!
You guys are strong, your will, I already know …… enough! You guys you stop talking ……”
His voice grew louder and louder, his expression became more and more hideous, he stared at those scarlet eyes, raised his head, and painfully hit his head against the chains, making a dull sound!
Outside the interrogation room, Zuo Qing and the others saw this scene and their faces suddenly changed!
”Open the door! Let me in!”
Zuo Qing opened the door of the interrogation room and walked straight to the agonizingly low roaring Chen Lu, frowning as he spoke:
”Chen Lu! What are you talking about?”
”Damn it …… ” Chen Lu raised his head, his scarlet eyes staring at Zuo Qing, his body was trembling uncontrollably, “You can’t win …… ”
”What?”
”The Nightwatchman, the Great Summer, the Great Summer God …… we can’t win ‘them’!” Chen Lu spoke in a low roar, “‘They’ are too powerful, powerful beyond our understanding! The day ‘they’ return, no existence will be able to stop ‘them’!
Only by disarming, abandoning resistance, kneeling at ‘their’ feet, and faithfully worshipping ‘their’ existence …… can humanity have a glimmer of life! ”
Zuo Qing’s face was meaty and gloomy.
”Are you crazy? Chen Lu? What are you talking about?”
”All these years, I would hear ‘their’ voices every three days, and ‘they’ whispered madly in my ears, pouring information about ‘their’ might and will all into my mind ……
No one in this world knows the terror of ‘them’ better than I do!
Believe me, Zuo Qing, we really can’t win ……”
Chen Lu’s expression was agonized to the extreme, and in those eyes that were nearly dripping with blood was a strong sense of sadness and powerlessness.
”Who are ‘they’?!” Zuo Qing tugged at Chen Lu’s collar and asked with a growl.
Chen Lu’s facial muscles trembled uncontrollably, and the corners of his mouth hooked up into a pale arc, and in a trembling voice, he slowly said:
”‘They’ are the end of the universe, the origin of all weird mysteries, and the supreme existence above the laws!
The name of ‘them’ is ……
[Cthulhu].”
