I'm in Cthulhu

"boom!"

The weather outside is like a drama on the stage. The howling wind has just begun to wreak havoc on the world, and the violent lightning can't wait to show off its huge and terrifying power on the charred soil on the ground.

Immediately following the stage, there was the sound of pattering rain. Steve and Walter, who had sufficient life experience, understood that although the rain did not sound very heavy now, with the mixing and friction of cumulonimbus clouds in the sky, It will inevitably form a thunderstorm.

There was a damp smell in the air. It was the decaying smell caused by the water vapor outside the window slowly eroding the surrounding wood. This strange and unpleasant smell made the two of them feel uncomfortable, so they had to speed up their pace.

The orphanage was unexpectedly big inside. It didn't look that exaggerated from the outside, but Steve and Walter didn't think much about it. In this kind of environment, everyone should try their best to suppress their active and deadly emotions. imagination.

After walking a few steps forward, Steve, who was walking in front, was surprised to find a faint light of fire, which was like the light emitted by a burning candle.

Is there anyone else in this building?

Steve didn't feel intimidated. His perfect body, like a body carved from marble, was pumping out a steady stream of power. This feeling gave Steve confidence and courage beyond ordinary people.

But poor Walter did not have the courage brought by this kind of hard power, and with his sensitive mind, he always felt that there were gentle, suppressed footsteps following him secretly.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or if there really is some unknown existence lurking in the dark shadow behind him. Walter was tortured by his extremely sensitive spirit and wanted to scream. The flame of anger against silence in his heart had already followed the heavy rain outside. And was extinguished.

Fortunately, his companion is the famous Captain America, otherwise Walter would definitely break the window and escape immediately, even if doing so would make him regret for the rest of his life.

“Walter, there seems to be someone in front.”

Steve's voice came out, but there was no echo in the empty building.

Hearing Steve's voice, Walter's attention finally left his excessive focus on fear itself. He relaxed slightly and responded:

"Well, I saw it too, but it's already dark now. Apart from us, it's impossible for anyone to come to this abandoned orphanage... Of course, if he is also called by a mission, he should be I did not say."

In order to relieve the tense atmosphere, Walter made a little joke, which made the two of them laugh lightly.

After his tense nerves relaxed a little, Walter realized that he could already vaguely see the vague outlines of some objects in the darkness in front of him.

Human eyes can adapt to darkness. As long as there is no light at all, you can get a weak line of sight in the darkness.

The two walked slowly towards the place with a faint fire, Steve walking in front. If there was any emergency, the super soldier thought he should be able to withstand one or two.

And this operation was originally for the subtle magical call he felt. Walter was sent by the military as a helper, and Steve felt that he should protect this scholar.

After taking about a dozen steps, the two came to a reception desk with candles.

With a haggard face and messy hair, he looks like a nineteenth-century whaler who finally retired after hunting countless whales in the wind and rain.

The old man was fast asleep, and the flickering firelight cast erratic shadows on the wall behind him. Steve and Walter did not wake him up immediately.

After making some mental preparations, the two of them woke up the weird old man. Before Steve could say anything, the old man took the lead and said, "Who are you? Are you young people who want to find excitement in such an adventure?" ?”

"I was inspired by fate to come here to find instructions for destiny..."

Before Steve could finish speaking, the old man interrupted: "I don't know what you are talking about, but this orphanage has just been reopened..."

"Hmm...Is there anything weird happening here? I mean, something unusual like that."

"...If you want to describe it that way, there is indeed one..."

Steve and the old man started talking, but Walter standing aside could only hear some fragments of the conversation between the two... He was listening carefully to the howling of the wind outside the window.

The howling wind swayed the dark green tree next to the orphanage and made a banging sound when it hit the glass.

The surrounding sounds were chaotic, but Walter, whose hearing was extremely stimulated by fear, could still vaguely separate from these sounds what he had heard before, that weird sound like a whistle or a flute, like music.

There was an abominable harmony and harmony between this sound and the surrounding environment, which made Walter extremely horrified and a little unsure of what he had discovered.

Unlike Steve, who was still talking calmly next to him, Walter was almost tormented and collapsed by the strange sound hidden in the howling air. This sound seemed to be vague and vague as if it didn't want to be discovered.

At this moment, he began to wish that he was like those of Odysseus's men who left the Siren Coast, with a pair of wax-sealed ears to drive those disturbing sounds out of his mind.

At this moment, Steve finally ended his conversation with the old man, roughly understood what was going on here, patted Walter on the shoulder, and went upstairs with the latter.

It turns out that due to the continuous reduction of war expenditures, many similar welfare institutions have been reactivated. Although this orphanage looks dilapidated on the outside, it has been initially cleaned inside and is home to a dozen unfortunate children.

Based on what the old man said just now, one of the children was withdrawn and behaved extremely abnormally. He always muttered vague and inaudible words.

Sometimes, if the child was not still normal, the old man would have thought that the child was possessed by a demon.

Based on the conversation, Steve decided to go to the children's dormitory on the third floor to find the strange boy and find out.

This is what an exorcist should do, but the inspiration in Steve's heart has started to react extremely violently since he came to this orphanage, just like placing runes next to the mechanical heart.

Walking behind Steve, Walter looked at the other person's strong body and tried his best to avoid paying attention to the vague sound. Then he relaxed a little and began to feel a sense of excitement.

The temptation to explore the unknown is sometimes stronger than most doubts.
