I'm in Cthulhu

Chapter 38: The Sword in the Stone and King Arthur

"repent!"

"Punishment has truly come, and the lost lamb has opened the door to hell... You should repent!"

"I opened my eyes and saw the six garrison teams ordered by Allah... They will all be burned alive! They will all be burned alive!!"

"...repent!!"

Under the shadow of huge fear, the influence of religion was instantly stimulated to a new level. Ignorant people chose a simple path - waiting and passivity.

Perhaps they were fully aware of the stupidity of what they were doing at this moment, but the fear left by the silence had already caused them to stand on the wooden bars protruding from the deck, and all their fears turned into spears that kept trying to kill them. Plunge into the icy unknown ocean.

What people are looking for may not be the true arrival of gods, but a sense of comfort in the process of repentance. From a certain perspective, this may be a wiser choice than being immersed in the pain and sorrow that cannot be traced back to its source.

Among the group of penitent believers in black robes, there is a slightly burly figure, that is Captain America, Steve Rogers, who has disappeared recently.

The military's previous super soldier plan led to frequent successes for the Allies in this war, but it had no effect at all against Silence, and instead fueled the other side's arrogance.

Therefore, the government and the military formulated a new targeted plan "Wolf". However, because Luo Ji had previously wanted to build the Silence Society and had already penetrated all aspects of the military, under his instructions, the plan was successfully aborted.

The new project is called "King Arthur" and is inspired by the legendary and most legendary king of ancient Britain - Arthur Pendragon.

Most of what people know about the man known as the "Eternal King" comes from Celtic myths and legends and medieval unofficial historical documents.

The most famous one is the story of "The Sword in the Stone", and today, thousands of years later, this legend will be played out again in front of everyone.

Of course, the "King Arthur" plan is not an unspeakable event like Silence. This plan was born in the finishing work of the Silence event and can be regarded as a subsidiary branch.

In this plan, Steve is undoubtedly the most critical link and the best candidate to become King Arthur. The legendary King Arthur is said to have blond hair as bright as the sun and a voice that is crisper and more melodious than the bard. With a voice as green as emeralds and a clean and tidy face, her delicate appearance can easily make people enchanted.

Although he had never met Arthur Pendragon in person, Luo Ji felt that Steve was not bad looking. After all, he was Captain America.

Originally, in this plan, Luo Ji planned to take on the role of King Arthur himself, but after thinking about it, he realized that doing so seemed to cause problems with his time management, and he would not be able to continue to be a salty fish in general, so he gave up. .

And the role of the great wizard Merlin does seem to suit him better.

Crouching on a tall building not far away, Luo Ji touched his chin and looked at Steve, who had blended into the crowd and followed the confession. He was indeed the perfect candidate for King Arthur. The chivalry that Arthur abides by, those who are kind and upright, Kindness, loyalty, courtesy, Captain America has them all.

As for Luo Ji...he thought he was a good person.

"A terrible miracle has come!"

"...Scorching sun storm, poisonous insects and ferocious beasts...Repent!!"

This gradually becoming fanatical ceremony was finally about to end the long and tedious actions. When people raised their heads after repenting, they saw a sword stuck on a square stone.

People immediately forgot the uniformity they had shown when they confessed, the civilized temperament they showed, and the reason they should have as intelligent creatures, and they scurried forward like wild beasts when they saw fat.

People flocked to the Sword in the Stone and saw a line of golden words written around the stone: "Whoever can pull out this sword from the stone platform will gain the power to defeat all evil."

"Om..."

The contact point between the blade of the sword and the stone continuously emits a dark golden mist, and streaks of golden light flow through the sword. It looks divine and holy, and it instantly arouses the greed in the hearts of the people around it.

People rushed to pull out the sword, but in the end no one was qualified to pick up this gorgeous sword that symbolized the king. The stones in the four directions seemed to have become a solid gabion to protect the sword.

Steve, wearing a black robe, stood aside and watched the actions of these people with cold eyes. According to the instructions above, now was not the time for him to take action.

The last Silent incident caused Steve to lose face. Although he himself no longer cared after being sad for a few days, the military had sufficient reason to formulate the "King Arthur" plan.

Steve also knows that his identity as Captain America is full of stains. Only by becoming the so-called King Arthur again can he spiritually inspire the American people.

This was the main reason why he agreed to participate in the program.

The camera turned to Luo Ji.

Wilder, who was crouching next to Luo Ji, looked at the burly figure in the crowd and said, "The Sword in the Stone... This is obviously an ancient British legend. It may make people feel strange when it appears in New York."

"Of course, this is a world-famous myth... But now is a special period. No one will refuse a sword that shines golden, and there are almost explicit words written on the stone where the sword is inserted."

"'Whoever can pull out this sword from the stone platform will gain the power to defeat all evil.' This sentence has explained everything. When they see the word evil, they will easily think of the word "evil" in Shengtui. That evil priest at Sturm Church.”

Halfway through, Luo Ji sat down cross-legged and continued, "Of course, I won't let Steve pull out that sword right now, to show that the talent of a king requires the most perfect timing."

"You mean... to hold a tourney as the legend says?" Wilder asked.

"Of course I won't do that. This is not the Middle Ages... Do you still remember the Hydra branch base we went to when you were still silent?"

"Of course I remember it, or I still remember it freshly!"

"Very good, then I think you must also remember what that base specializes in."

Wilder: "(?_?;;)"

"Haha, that branch base specializes in experiments on the power of super weapons and the containment and management of special things caused by extraordinary power... The name actually doesn't matter, what's important is its research results."

After a pause, Luo Ji continued: "There are some animals in nature that have been affected by certain special forces and have turned into scary-looking monsters. Most of these poor or lucky guys are housed in that base by Hydra. Used for research..."
