Chapter 882 – The Truth About the Fishing Village

　　”Even if you hold on until the moment the closed loop ends, the laws of time will mercilessly obliterate you all, and here, you have no way to escape!

　　This fishing village is a deadly situation that is enough to wipe out any existence below the God Realm!

　　The only way out for you guys is to pull out this damned knife of time and end the never-ending closed loop here, so that you can escape from ‘their’ gaze and also avoid the fate of being obliterated by time ……”

　　Lin Qiye took a deep breath, forcing down the mania in his heart, and spoke in a cold voice:

　　”Pull it out, and then what? Let this giant beast resurrect under the red moon, and then the people will be devastated?”

　　Hearing these words, Chen Yangrong froze slightly.

　　He looked at Lin Qiye in surprise and spoke suspiciously, “How did you know that?”

　　”Isn’t it obvious?” Lin Qiye stretched out his hand and pointed at the constantly writhing stomach wall behind Chen Yangrong, “Ever since your so-called Red Moon appeared, the originally lost vitality once again surged within the behemoth’s body and began to actively devour your body, and as this power to affect one’s emotions grew stronger and stronger, it squirmed more and more quickly.

　　When the power of the red moon reaches its peak, the stomach wall here will completely devour your body, and this giant beast will also come back from the dead …… This is what it wants.

　　Coupled with those crazy words you just said, the truth about the existence of this fishing village is basically something I can guess.”

　　”Oh?” Chen Yangrong raised his eyebrows, “The truth, what is it?”

　　”The time of this fishing village is not only as simple as a closed ring …… it is also a cage.” Lin Qiye slowly spoke, “And the prisoner locked in it is not you Chen Yangrong …… but it.”

　　Lin Qiye’s gaze landed on the immense and incomparable stomach wall in front of him.

　　”If I’m not wrong, this corpse of a giant beast sunk in the deep sea should have a close connection with the Cthulhu Mythos.

　　According to what you said, the Cthulhu Gods existed on top of the moon but were waiting to ‘return’, it can be deduced that ‘they’ should be in a state similar to being imprisoned right now, unable to return to Earth freely, so that behemoth corpse sunk at the bottom of the deep ocean. Perhaps it is the only means ‘they’ have left on Earth.

　　Therefore, ‘they’ want to resurrect this giant beast.”

　　Lin Qiye paused, bean-sized beads of sweat sliding down from his cheeks as he took a deep breath, once again combing through the clues that existed in his mind, and continued:

　　”You just said that we will either die from time obliteration or from ‘their’ gaze …… and this ‘gaze’ from the Moon should be the manifestation of the Red Moon.

　　One day fifty years ago, something may have happened to the moon, the Cthulhu gods imprisoned on the moon were able to project their gaze to a corner of the earth, and this gaze that fell from the moon became the red moon in the eyes of mankind.

　　This gaze fell on the sea where the behemoth’s corpse was located, while covering this fishing village on the shore.

　　From the very beginning, ‘their’ goal was to resurrect the beast through the red moon, whether it was you, Chen Yangrong, or the fishing village on the shore that was also enveloped in the red moon, they were all just products of accidents…….

　　You, Chen Yangrong, are just an ordinary person who suffered a shipwreck before the red moon descended and was accidentally caught in the stomach wall of the giant beast, but as the red moon descended, your body was slowly devoured by this giant beast, and its power and thoughts were crazily eroding your consciousness, and without you even realizing it, it turned you into its puppet.

　　You mistook its will for your own thoughts, making you a fervent follower of Cthulhu in just a few days, and having to personally guide the return of the Cthulhu gods on the moon.

　　The red moon could not be blocked, which meant that the resurrection of the Behemoth could not be interrupted, so the Elder King’s Face could only use a time closure ring to lock the time in this area, allowing it to turn back the clock to three days ago and reverse the process of its resurrection at the moment when the red moon had reached its peak, that is, the moment when the Behemoth was about to be resurrected.

　　Therefore, under this prison of a closed loop of time, the resurrection of this giant beast was delayed for fifty whole years.

　　Am I …… right?”

　　In the last sentence, Lin Qiye didn’t look at Chen Yangrong and said it, but rather looked at the dark stomach walls around him …… He was trying to talk to this giant beast that was being revived.

　　After finishing all of this against the influence of the red moon, Lin Qiye felt that his brain was already about to explode, his breathing became more and more ragged, his consciousness began to fade, and an unprecedented sense of mania surged through him.

　　Chen Yangrong looked at him dumbfounded for a long time before he spoke incredulously:

　　”Just based on what I just said, you reasoned out so many things?”

　　Lin Qiye didn’t answer, he just silently clenched his fists, the veins on the backs of his hands popping up one by one ……

　　”It seems like you’re a lot smarter than the last set of rats.” Chen Yangrong couldn’t help but lament, “They only discovered the truth by looking at the timeline recorded in this circle, you actually guessed it with just my mere words, that’s truly remarkable.”

　　Hearing these words, Lin Qiye was slightly stunned.

　　”The previous group?”

　　”Yeah, they were also seven people, still wearing gray cloaks, and probably came in on the last day before the three rounds of closure ……”

　　In Lin Qiye’s mind, the figure of the [Mask] squad quickly surfaced, and he jerked his head up, “Where are they people? How are they doing?!”

　　”How is it?” Chen Yangrong sneered, “I should have told you, this is a dead end that is enough to wipe out any existence below the God Realm.

　　It’s already pretty good that they were able to persevere from the Red Moon’s influence, but it’s a pity that until the time they were obliterated by the Laws of Time, they still didn’t choose to pull out this sword …… What a few hard bones.

　　However ……”

　　Chen Yangrong paused and turned his words around, “There seems to be a young man in there who ended up outrunning time and disappeared.”

　　Lin Qiye stayed in place.

　　[Mask] …… was obliterated by time?

　　Calculating from the time they entered the fishing village, the [Mask] squad entered the closed loop, probably twelve days ago …… But until now, the closed loop here hadn’t been broken, which meant that they hadn’t chosen to pull out that knife at that time.

　　Without pulling out the knife, the closed loop would not end, and their final destination could only be to kill each other and die, or to be wiped out by time.

　　The [Mask] survived the red moon, but failed to outrun time.

　　This result, Lin Qiye should have thought of it long ago, he just subconsciously avoided the issue, not wanting to face such an ending ……

　　He still wasn’t willing to believe it!

　　”You fart!”

　　Under the influence of the Red Moon, Lin Qiye’s irascible emotions were instantly ignited as he angrily opened those reddened eyes and growled as he opened his mouth.

　　”You don’t believe me?” Chen Yangrong laughed coldly and spoke, “In the circle at the end of this blade, the timeline of every closed loop here is recorded, if you don’t believe it …… just look at it yourself.”

　　Lin Qiye’s gaze landed on the ring of flowing light that was slowly rotating at the end of the [Eagle Duck], a flash of determination flashed through his eyes, and his entire body violently rushed out from the range of the lantern fish’s light, coming before Chen Yangrong’s chest and gazing at a certain part of that ring ……
