Mermaid Reef

Group after group of people.

Pile after pile of corpses.

Puerto Montt is like the abyss of a monster, easily swallowing all the teams that came to investigate the situation.

No matter what forces are behind them and how perfect preparations they have made, those highly poisonous steams have become the dividing line between hell and the world.

There are no absolute secrets in this world.

The news that the newly established secret departments of various countries were destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami in Chile, and then hit again by mysterious events, has been thoroughly spread in the circle of occultism.

The mysterious investigation team like Hans was the first to know the truth, they rejected the people sent by the government without hesitation, and sternly warned them of the terrible consequences of the awakening of the ancient gods.

What happened afterwards seems to have verified their rhetoric. The satellite was damaged, the astronomer was insane, the tsunami destroyed the country of Chile in 14 hours, and spread the disaster to the entire Pacific coast in one day and one night. Reversed offset.

Aftershocks continued.

The length and intensity of the earth's oscillation this time far exceeded people's imagination.

From the magnitude 5 earthquake on May 22nd to June 9st, the surface of the land was still shaking unstable. Among them, there were 6 aftershocks with a magnitude of 21 or above, and 7 aftershocks with a magnitude of 10. Second-rate.Before that, who would have thought that such a horrible disaster as a magnitude 8 or even magnitude 3 earthquake could only be called an "aftershock"?

But that's what happened.

Humanity was once again overwhelmed by the power of nature.

They began to realize that even if humans create a terrible weapon that can destroy an entire city in a few minutes, but dive hundreds of meters under the sea, launch satellites or probes into space...they still don't understand the planet under their feet, Nor can it fight its wrath.

A disaster that occurred at a certain point on the map can be quickly advanced to a place tens of thousands of kilometers away.

For example, people who are on vacation in the Hawaiian Islands, they are not on the same hemisphere as Chile, and they have no idea what happened, but the tsunami came.

"...The pollution of the evil god is more terrible than earthquakes and tsunamis. I don't recommend anyone to enter Puerto Montt by any means." Hans said to the British government. He ignored the other party's unhappy expression and responded coldly, "The evil god They won't talk to you about gains and losses, they won't be threatened by any weapons, and they don't even care whether dinosaurs or monkeys occupy most of the earth."

The Cthulhu were neither part of a prehistoric civilization nor aliens.

They may hold unimaginable power, but that power is simply beyond human touch.

"I repeat, I think human beings will have to continue to evolve for tens of thousands or 10 years before it is possible to think about these things."

Hans continued to ignore the guy's angry expression, and added the last weight to his words, "I don't want to die, I think you will realize this soon-even if the benefits are great, no matter how much you invest When the money is gone, whether it is a businessman or a politician, they will choose to give up the pain and turn around to obtain small benefits in a safer way."

Are simple runes not useful?Isn't the traditional and cautious way of avoiding mysterious powers bad?

Must affirm the dominance of human beings over this planet, and act in a more radical and exaggerated way than cultists driven by interests?

Want to wake up the evil god and destroy the earth?

The ancient orders, scholars and investigators who have mastered the occult knowledge, will have many opportunities after this crisis.

Of course, everyone needs to be smart enough, so that they will not be used as tools by greedy politicians, or kicked away after draining the knowledge.

But Hans didn't intend to go that route.

His life choice was decided in Venice 30 years ago.

So Hans bluntly exposed the true nature of the matter, and did not seek benefits in a smooth manner, seeking an important position in the reorganized secret organization.

Watching the government official leave angrily, Hans picked up his wine glass and thought silently: In the next 30 years, there should be no more warships and planes flying to the island of death. Countries use ghost radios to track mysterious events, thinking that they can be like It's outrageous to catch the relatives of the evil gods like arresting aliens.

Well, only 30 to 50 years.

Because the reflections that humans have gained from lessons have only so long a validity period.

Hans closed his eyes, and after 10 minutes, he entered the dream world.

Cindy is waiting for him.

In the dream, they appeared in a dilapidated house, and there was a thick gray-black fog outside the window, and there were occasional screams and human cries.

"Is this your nightmare?"

Cindy realized that her tone was too abrupt, and quickly explained, "You told me in yesterday's class that an excellent dream therapist should first face the deepest knot in his heart and the most impossible nightmare. It's London in 1952."

Hans nodded.

In this city turned into a lair by gray butterflies, he met many friends here and lost many companions.

Hans stopped remembering, he picked up a three-legged chair, and sat by the window to observe Cindy.

A gritty, gifted young man, also a woman, well suited to the legacy of dream healers.

The dream therapist is no longer just a simple way to comfort people in the Gray Order of Venice and solve nightmares. Hans shoulders the responsibility of contacting all friends.

This is an invisible force, and Hans hopes that someone will replace him in the future.

"Have you decided to join the British government?" Hans asked calmly.

In order to prevent the blood moon incident, the death of the user of the ghost radio station from happening again, and to avoid troubles caused by cultists and occult scholars with ulterior motives, this important battlefield needs to be occupied by someone.

"Very well, I hope you will always be calm and never forget your courage, especially when fear covers the world and dominates our spirit and body."

Hans slowly opened the window, and the choking stench immediately floated in at the same time, and there were many monsters moving in the depths of the dense fog.

Hans stood by the window and made a gesture with his hand, as if guiding the young girl to see the real world, towards death and madness.

Cindy took a deep breath, and stepped into the darkness against the floating scale powder.

"found it."

Jason stared at a piece of fiery red lava.

It has penetrated thousands of meters into the stratum, surrounded by magma.

Even Jason thinks it's a bit hot in here.

The vines curled up listlessly.

This piece of lava floated on top of the crimson flowing magma, and it was inconspicuous at all. Materials like this can be seen everywhere in the mantle layer.

The creation of a wise god like Nidhogg has a natural ability to hide. Even the evil god searched for it for a whole month, and finally Jason found it based on the runes containing his own power.

The lava floated up silently, and debris kept rolling down from it, finally revealing its true colors.

It is a statue about 30 meters high. On the front, you can see the head of a giant insect with tentacles. The rest of the body is chaotic, like a pile of mud bubbling everywhere.

Encased in the runic barrier, humans can also briefly view the statue's form, though they may not be able to articulate what they see.

Jason returned to the surface with the statue.

The dark red steam ejected from the cracks has decreased a lot, and the sky outside is also faintly visible.

The evil god's pollution will gradually subside as the source disappears and the remaining power is consumed.

The wounds will heal, and the cave itself, which has received a steady stream of mysterious power, will of course automatically repair itself-the strong shaking that lasts for 30 days means that the earth is adjusting, and it needs to repair all the damage caused by Leviathan.

Gemil took the statue from Jensen.

"We should leave."

When the ruins lost their polluting and dangerous qualities, the evil gods lost interest in it.

Gamir can sustain this hellishly weird and twisted landscape with strength, but the rock palace is just waiting to be repaired!

David walked to the refugee camp in a daze.

He didn't remember how he got out of trouble, he only remembered that he had walked a long, long way.

David dreamed countless times that he was returning home. Although waking up was all a dream, he insisted on escaping in the dream every time.

Now, his clothes are tattered, half of his trouser legs are missing, and the soles of his shoes are gray, the soles are almost worn out, and there are two big holes in the front.

His face and body were covered with dust and mud spots, and his original skin color could not be seen clearly.

If David was walking on the streets of America, even homeless people would look at him in shock, and the patrolman would immediately blow his whistle, but in this place, no one would be surprised.

——A seriously ill person lay panting in a corner, and a man in a tattered priest's robe stood on the collapsed building, waving a cross and shouting something.

Some people prayed, some people cursed angrily, and more people sat on the ground numbly, as if they had lost all hope.

Yes, even if David is reciting Bible prayers here, or suddenly kneeling down and shouting the devil, there is nothing strange about it.

David looked puzzled.

When he was "rescued" in his dreams, he usually saw the bright side.

For example, the house and food at home, such as the rescuers wearing camouflage uniforms, the camp is also orderly, and there is usually a steaming cauldron hanging on the campfire, and the smell of juice after cooking canned corned beef will waft out of it.

But the situation in front of me is too miserable!This does not conform to the law of ordinary dreams.

Could it be real this time?

David bit his tongue, and it hurt, but he had done this kind of action in dreams, and it couldn't be used to distinguish reality from illusion.

He knelt in the mud and ruins, ruthlessly stroking his hair.

Mud and dust rolled down.

"David? God, David, is that really you?"

A familiar voice came to his ears, and David suddenly looked up, and saw his colleague, a young reporter who had agreed to report the truth about the prohibition of copper mining.

David stood up involuntarily, and they rushed through the crowd, embracing wildly, for the joy of the survivors.

The nightmare is finally over.

"David, how did you survive? I heard that Puerto Montt is the closest place to the center of the earthquake..."

"I was lucky enough to get a ride away before the earthquake hit."

David felt the sun shining on him, very warm, and he swallowed all the secrets about the devil.

He suddenly thought of a book about curses and witchcraft that said that demons would respond to human calls, as long as you don't think about them, don't call, you can stay away from darkness and misfortune.

……

……

Jason raised the brim of his hat, watching David's slackened willpower recover into a bright ball of light in the distance.

Great, this investigator is recovering well.

"Goodbye."

The evil god said softly.
