I'm in Cthulhu

"To be honest, I really don't know why I'm here. The psychiatrist said I'm fine... Mr. Hayden, are you listening?"

Luo Ji lay on a red-cushioned recliner, looked around, and opened up a conversation with a psychiatrist named Hayden Gibson.

Hayden, who was called, put down the newspaper in his hand and responded: "Oh, sorry, I was checking whether I was mentioned in the newspapers of various high schools in the United States."

Hayden folded the newspaper and put it aside. He continued: "... Regarding this point, it is actually quite common among my clients. Your question should be related to..."

Hayden started to ramble on about what was wrong, but Luo Ji suddenly got up from the recliner. A strange sense of awareness emerged, making him realize that something was wrong around him, as well as his previous memories.

It was a dream. I should still be in the taxi heading to the Hydra branch base. Thinking about it, I still couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep unknowingly.

Dreams within dreams, Luo Ji's bad taste came to him, and he said in a subtle tone: "Dr. Hayden, you are actually in my dream, do you believe it?"

"What? You know that's impossible, I'm Hayden Gibson, the only psychiatrist to have been in Playboy magazine!"

"Come on, I've made people believe even more ridiculous things... I told those lovely children that if your heart and actions are noble enough, you will go to a beautiful place called heaven... .Then I laughed and explained that I was joking and they would just fall to the ground hard."

As he said this, a familiar feeling of vibration and electricity appeared, and then the scene in front of Luo Ji felt like it was being torn apart by wild beasts and burned by flames. It dissipated within a few breaths, leaving only a strange black mist that was constantly rising and falling.

Weird images flashed among them, and the shrill screams faintly coming from the depths of darkness seemed to be just auditory hallucinations. A man with an extremely handsome appearance, who looked like an ancient Greek sculpture, appeared in this void.

The void dream that can connect the long river of time has finally exerted its strange and powerful ability again since it was last linked to the young Schmidt and the high school student Peter Parker.

The third-generation god-king in ancient Greek mythology, the god Zeus named Jupiter, was forcibly pulled into this space and could not leave for the time being. He could only leave together when Luo Ji woke up.

As soon as the famous God-King took his seat, Luo Ji cast a curious look at him. At this moment, Jupiter happened to look in his direction as well. Their eyes collided, and the situation was a little awkward.

Looking away, Luo Ji felt excited in his heart, God is worthy of being a God, and he is handsome. This is almost catching up with me.

Regarding the specific appearance of Zeus, there are few records in various myths. The only one Luo Ji had read before was a passage from "The Iliad":

"After the son of Cronus finished speaking, he bent his neck and nodded his thick black eyebrows, and the beautiful locks of hair flowed down from the immortal head of the King of Gods, shaking the towering Olympus Mountains..."

Cronus is the second generation of god-kings, and his son refers to Zeus. Like Jesus, he has long flowing hair and a thick beard, which are classic images.

Most of the gods in ancient Greece had personalities, that is to say, they had their own special character traits, and could be happy, angry, depressed, or painful.

Apart from his divine power and lifespan, his words and deeds are not much different from ordinary people.

After some necessary introductory talk, Zeus understood what Luo Ji wanted him to understand. After another ten minutes of meaningless talk, Zeus suddenly sat up from his chair, his flowing hair automatically moving without any wind. , changing to a position closer to Luo Ji.

Luo Ji turned to look at Jupiter, who was also looking at him.

The two of them talked about a lot together with the conversation later, but the main points were probably just this:

"tell me your name."

"Helius Trebulanus Luo Ji."

"Strange name, why?"

"I come from a very far unknown direction, a small place called Lengyuan, which is covered with bone-frozen ice and snow all year round, and few people have heard of it."

"Well...from the human world, which is full of sin and should be washed away by floods, to the underworld, which is filled with black poplars and fruitless coconut trees, guarded by Cerberus, and the underworld, which is dominated by Poseidon, the god of the sea. The sea world and even the sky are carried by Atlas, whom I have condemned... There is no place in the three realms that I don't know about."

"Of course it is. Leng Yuan is just a name. The people there have long been buried under thousands of meters of ice by the cold snow. To the outside world, everyone just says that it is extremely far and unknown."

"Okay... Luo Ji, I want to ask you a question. Please answer it."

"of course."

"My divine power is boundless, as vast as the ocean... The long river of time just flows in my mind. I peered into it and discovered your figure in 1942. But now, according to the calendar, it is only 453 years... Luo Ji, how did you jump into the river of time and then get ashore again?"

"...I can swear by the Yin River flowing underground through the jungle of Styx. This ability is passive for me. He dragged me into the river of time in my dream. I was asleep, Being carried by the river to the next era.”

"Well... I relax my mind. When I am resting in the deep space of the universe, I always like to cast my eyes on the slowly flowing river. My divine power gives me the ability to have a glimpse, but I can't go any further... Day and night My peek gave me some insights. I shot lightning into the river and ignited a black forest."

"...certainly."

"Luo Ji, don't be stingy with your wisdom. Tell me your understanding of time... The plague on the earth continues to spread, not only in the human world and the sea world, but also behind the terrifying Persephone Garden and at the Gate of Hell. By the way...the undead are also infected by the plague,

Now, the evil plague has climbed up the mountain of flesh and blood stacked with giant corpses, stepped on the stairs of the stars, and is about to follow the white Milky Way to reach my palace in deep space. "

"Okay...I'll tell you."

"Please say."

"... Most people don't understand time, it's not what you think... Time is complicated, very complicated... People always assume that time is a precise process of cause and effect, but in fact it never From a non-linear objective perspective, time is more like a big ball of thread that goes around, drifts and twists..."

The conversation hadn't ended yet, but an irresistible sense of awakening had arrived, pulling Luo Ji back to reality from his deepest dream.

This conversation with God King Jupiter benefited him a lot, but it brought him even more confusion. What happened to the horrific plague that spread into the deep space of the universe thousands of years ago and even the gods and giants were afraid of it?

You must know that dreams can only connect the long river of time and cannot bring in people from other worlds, which means that the strange plague happened in the universe where Luo Ji lives.

But now is not the time to think about that. The things that the Void Dream copied from Zeus are what he should care about now.
