Infinite Reincarnation: Survival Begins from Ishimura

"This thing wouldn't happen to be a memento left behind by your deceased friend, would it?" Mu Xing asked with a complex expression.

Martin scratched his head: "Of course not. General Yuan asked me to bring it to you."

Mu Xing breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was being targeted by someone again.

"Why didn't he deliver it himself, and instead had you bring it?" Mu Xing pressed.

Martin shook his head: "I'm not sure either. General Yuan only said that this thing must be personally delivered into your hands, and didn't say much else."

Mu Xing tried to contact Yuan, but only heard a busy signal saying, "Please leave a message."

He raised his head: "What's this thing for?"

"There's also a letter here!"

Martin then handed over an envelope.

The words "Top Secret" were conspicuously printed on the envelope.

Mu Xing crushed the seal, unfolded the letter, and quickly scanned the handwritten note.

The content was simple: open the box after entering the Illusion Realm, and he would naturally understand what to do next.

"Why is this guy also learning to speak in riddles?" Mu Xing muttered to himself with a frown.

However, just as he reached out to touch the box, he suddenly felt the ninth floor of the Observer's Tower shaking.

To be precise, it was the obelisk in the tower that was shaking.

"What's going on?"

As his right hand got closer to the sealed box, the shaking became more intense.

He quickly plunged his consciousness into the ninth floor.

He discovered that Cthulhu's embryo was still digesting the Chaos King it had devoured earlier, its tentacles lazily swaying, showing no signs of awakening.

Mu Xing tentatively called out "Grandma" twice, but there was no response.

Even when approaching the embryo, the tentacles didn't react at all.

Afterward, he turned his attention to the obelisk.

"What's going on?"

He stared at the obelisk in front of him, which was mostly repaired.

Except for a few small gaps that had not yet been repaired, the whole had recovered more than 98%.

The densely packed tadpole script on the obelisk suddenly lit up.

Immediately afterward, the runes on the obelisk began to flash, revealing text.

It seemed to be in order to better suit Mu Xing's usage habits.

This obelisk could freely scale in size, able to become towering or shrink to the size of a palm.

Mu Xing even wondered if this thing could be used as a weapon?

Because he discovered that he could bring this obelisk out of R'lyeh.

At the same time, he sensed that the seed of consciousness he had planted was quietly sprouting, completely merging with the obelisk.

"What exactly is happening?"

Mu Xing asked this because he felt that the obelisk's vibration just now was like a warning to him.

"Danger, detected hostile Outer God power, please do not trade with it at will."

He saw the subtitles appearing on the screen, and he was stunned.

Hostile Outer God power?

If you had to say who was Cthulhu's greatest enemy, it would naturally be the mysterious Lord of the Stars, skilled in insidious calculations—the King in Yellow, Hastur.

"Could it be that Martin has been controlled by Hastur?" Mu Xing hurriedly asked.

When he came into contact with Cthulhu's memories and knowledge, he had seen the abilities Hastur displayed.

Among them, the most impressive were mind control and reality warping.

Cthulhu's power is the ultimate material power, and also the controller of dreams.

And His nemesis seems to be more skilled in alienation and distortion.

It's hard not to suspect, did Hastur plot the ancient god's sneak attack and sealing of Cthulhu?

New subtitles appeared on the obelisk.

"What the eyes see may not be the truth, the feeling of the heart is the key to breaking the situation."

Mu Xing narrowed his eyes. Was this a warning to himself?

Or was it saying that it couldn't be sure who was using Martin to approach him?

"Should I take the box away? Is there any danger in keeping it by my side?" Mu Xing continued to ask.

"Danger is also an opportunity, the key lies in the choice."

Mu Xing nodded: "I understand."

Since the obelisk had said so, he didn't need to deliberately refuse, so as not to alert the schemer behind the scenes.

Controlling a conspiracy is safer than letting it run wild.

Instead of one day, a hidden arrow suddenly flying out of the darkness.

"Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?" Mu Xing asked his last question.

"Make good use of the surrounding help, you are not fighting alone."

Mu Xing pondered the meaning of this sentence.

Obviously, the obelisk was also willing to provide him with help.

Even the grandma next to him who was snoring loudly.

She and Hastur were mortal enemies, and shouldn't mind giving him a hand.

This would also save him a chance to take action.

Mu Xing realized that this trip to the Illusion Realm was definitely not as simple as he had imagined.

I'm afraid that all the forces have gathered around the chessboard, and began to arrange their respective games.

It's just that this time it's no longer Chinese chess or Go, but more like a multi-player game of aggravation or Parcheesi.

With a thought, Mu Xing's consciousness returned.

He didn't touch the box, but with a wave of his right hand, he put it into a separate storage ring.

He looked up at Martin: "I've accepted the box. Do you have anything else?"

Martin looked embarrassed: "That, Blood Moon, I have a request..."

Mu Xing seemed to know what he was going to say, and handed over a promotion plan.

He had prepared this thing long ago. Martin could be considered a promising talent, and if he could successfully advance to a higher position, he might be of use.

Martin almost jumped up with joy after seeing the plan.

He knew that this was custom-made for him by Mu Xing.

"That, boss, I have one more thing. If I successfully advance, can I join your warband?"

Mu Xing leaned back in his chair and leaned back slightly: "I look forward to your performance."

He neither refused nor accepted, deciding to observe for a while first.

He wanted to know whether this Martin was a leaf accidentally caught in the current, or a seed sown by some dangerous existence.

He didn't use Observer's Knowledge to explore Martin, but instead tried to perceive him with his heart.

Soon, he sensed a familiar thread of fate entwined around the other person's body.

"Boss, in that case, I'll take my leave first. Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Looking at Martin's departing back, the faint thread seemed even more obvious.

The new vision he had gained in a moment of desperation during the last battle against the Chaos King, Sata Noth, allowed him to see certain lines related to fate.

Although blurry, he did see them.

And this kind of line cannot be detected by ordinary Observer means.

In the words of the obelisk, it can only be perceived with the heart.

After he obtained the Observer's inheritance, this ability became stronger.

"What exactly do these schemers behind the scenes want to do?"

Mu Xing looked serious, and for a moment he didn't know how to break the situation.

He began to try to contact Commander-in-Chief Ron, hoping to get his help.

However, when he made the call, it was still turned off.

"What's going on? Are they all gone?"

Mu Xing turned to contact Zhao Hui.

This time, it went through.

"Are you asking about the Commander-in-Chief? He went to the Terra Council for a meeting, and may be gone for the next few days."

"What kind of meeting requires such a long time?"

"Who knows? By the way, do you need anything?"

"It's nothing, just asking."
