Haunted Places Live

Overnight, the once largest country in the world was destroyed by Chu Yang.

Nearly one-third of Americans suddenly began to self-harm or attack others after listening to a live broadcast of a cello solo, including doctors, lawyers, research technicians, and government officials.After Chu Yang's piano sounded, explosions occurred in several places one after another, countless cars collided with each other, and flames rushed into the sky.The city fell into complete chaos, and people panicked and screamed for their lives, but they didn't know where the crisis was coming from.Where the crowd is dense, the number of maddened people is even greater. Some people jump off dozens of stories of high-rise buildings while holding the one closest to them, some people start biting people like mad dogs, and some doctors put on surgical gowns and enter the operating room as usual. , but cut open the patient's heart with a scalpel, and then slit his throat to commit suicide.

Panic led to frequent jostling and stampede incidents everywhere, and many people never got up after falling.

What's even more frightening is that someone in the war room started the nuclear bomb launch procedure.Several government officials, including the president, were alerted and hurriedly ordered the revocation.Several people in the war room were killed, and finally the launch process was stopped in time before the last step—the missile was unlocked.But even so, a considerable number of soldiers or police began to shoot at each other with weapons.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the scene of the end.

In addition to the United States, at the same time around the world, people began to harm themselves or become manic after hearing a cello death song.Either dig out your own eyes with a knife, cut off your fingers, or turn on the gas and take the whole family to commit suicide.But because the number is not as dense as that of the United States, it is not as tragic as the United States.Even so, such a terrible and rapid disaster shocked the whole world, and panic spread on every continent.

Soon, people discovered that the crazy people had something in common - they had participated in the crowdfunding on the Internet.

The identity of the perpetrator soon surfaced.

The relationship between multi-observers and ordinary people was completely broken because of this worldwide disaster.Several governments have declared that if the Multi-Observer cannot hand over the murderer, they will only restrict the freedom of the Multi-Observer in their respective countries.Countless low-level observers were arrested, and the conflict continued to intensify.

At this moment, Lynch was driving Chu Yang through the quiet fields of Yorkshire at night.

After 80 years, he is finally going home.

Marianne Bray House is deserted and rumored to be haunted, no townspeople will try to get near it.All observers all over the world are searching for Chu Yang, and it may be safer there.

Chu Yang, the enemy of the whole world, sat in the passenger seat and looked out the window at the endlessly spreading night and at the lights of the towns and cities in the distance.The motels passing by the road occasionally flashed huge neon lights, which hurt people's eyes.

Suddenly, Chu Yang said, "Lin Qi, put me down."

Lynch's eyes were fixed on the dark road ahead, "What's wrong? Want to go to the bathroom?"

"No. I don't want to go."

Lynch frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I want to surrender."

"No!" Lynch said without thinking, "I thought I had made it very clear!"

He put on a bracelet restricting Chu Yang's movement again, because he knew that as long as he relaxed a little, Chu Yang would disappear from his side.

Disappear completely.

"If I kill someone, I should pay with my life." Chu Yang said softly, "I took revenge, and it's time for others to take revenge on me. I'm different from you. I killed many innocent people. You now Help me, they won't let you go."

Lynch didn't speak, but slammed on the accelerator and rushed forward as if venting his anger.

Chu Yang was still trying to convince him, "Can we escape now, can we escape for a lifetime? Lynch, you will have a long time in the future..."

"Shut up!" Lynch suddenly shouted angrily.

Chu Yang's body trembled a little, and he fell silent.

Lynch turned the steering wheel, suddenly stopped the car to the side of the road, turned his head and glared at Chu Yang with a suppressed angry and sad expression.

"What do you mean? Let me forget that you continue to live alone? Anyway, I have the color of a star, I can live for a long time, and I will never die. One day I will forget you and fall in love with someone new. So you It's okay to die. You think so, don't you?"

Every word, Lynch spoke smoothly but gritted his teeth.

Chu Yang could not refute.His eyes were wide open, as if frightened, uneasy, and guilty.

Lynch's eyes were red, and then he closed his eyes hard, as if he was trying to control his emotions.His hands were tightly gripping the steering wheel, and he could even hear the leather material of the glove rubbing against the steering wheel.

"Chu Yang, I've lived for so many years, how many people do you think I've liked... have fallen in love with?"

"..." Chu Yang also guessed.After the two of them went mad sometimes, Chu Yang looked at Lin Qi who was sleeping next to him, thinking wildly, and wondered whether there were people lying with Lin Qi like this.

But he never asked Lynch.He felt that it was Lynch's business, he had no right to ask, and he didn't care.

"One." Lynch glared at him, with a bit of venting anger in his words, "Only you."

Only Chu Yang's music can resonate with his soul, only Chu Yang can share his darkness and pain, only Chu Yang can save him from the abyss of hatred.Only Chu Yang.

But he couldn't save Chu Yang.

He could only watch Chu Yang fall.

Chu Yang's lips trembled, and his nose felt sore.What can he do?He doesn't deserve such love.

"Me too..." he said in a trembling voice.

Lin Qi stretched out his hand, hugged Chu Yang's neck tightly, rubbed his side face with his thumb, and there was a bit of pleading in his eyes, "Don't leave me. Without you, I don't know what I would be like .”

"But……"

"If they want to take you away from me, I will destroy them." Lynch's eyes suddenly became dark, extremely thick darkness, extremely cold evil, and he said like a dream, "If this reality allows If there is no place for us, we will create a reality that can accommodate us. Because we have this ability."

Chu Yang was startled by the evil in Lynch's words. He was not even sure whether Lynch was threatening him not to run away, or telling him about his plan.

In the huge underground space of the Kingdom of Truth, under the crouching chaos statue, I don't know what happened.From that day on, Lynch occasionally said some terrible things.

But thinking about it now, since that day, I also have all kinds of dark impulses that cannot be suppressed.

If it was my former self, would I really do such a thing?Even if those people killed his father together, would he really kill those zero-level observers so recklessly?

Maybe, maybe not.Even he wasn't sure anymore.

Maybe he was never kind, it was just an illusion given to him by his ordinary life.

Lynch's childhood home has long been covered by weeds, thorns, dust and mold, and the floor is rotten everywhere, and he will fall into it if he is not careful.Cobwebs lingered in every corner, and a deep and icy wind blew out from the corridor, like a ghost without a face.

They dared not light the lamps, for fear of being discovered that the abandoned house was inhabited.Simply clear out a few rooms, and then stay temporarily.

Lynch opened the basement door that had been locked three times before.He had never gone in there because his mother had made him swear not to enter unless it was absolutely necessary.

And now is the time.

He knew that his mother had her own religion, and it was probably not Catholic or Christian.But only later, after four hellish years, did he understand what his mother believed in.

Now, finally, seeing is believing.The king in yellow opened his ragged arms and stood quietly in the flickering light of the candle flame.

On the opposite side of the king in yellow, there is a statue of a gorgeous black pharaoh.The expression of the statue is arrogant, with a kind of disdain for ants.

The two originally hostile gods coexisted in the same void of chaos.

Chu Yang followed Lynch into the basement.Seeing the main god, the king in yellow, he habitually performed the elders' salute, but then saw the statue of Nyarlathotep, and became confused.

"Why is the main god of the Chaos Temple here?"

Lynch lowered his head and used the candle flame to illuminate the grooves carved into the stone floor layer by layer on the ground.There was something dark and vaguely hairy in that groove, something that had obviously been sacrificed to some animal.Weird cuneiform characters were engraved in the complex arc of the magic circle. Lynch carefully identified them, but he couldn't recognize what kind of characters they were.

"Here is a scroll." Chu Yang found a very inconspicuous niche in the pedestal of the statue of the King in Yellow, and took out a scroll that looked like sheepskin.The thing was obviously very old, and it was so fragile that it would fall apart at the slightest movement.

Lynch unfolded the parchment little by little with the most careful movements.On it are the same cuneiform characters as in the circle.He obviously couldn't understand it, but his eyes scanned the runes one by one, and an image strongly emerged in his mind.

The golden city stands beside the vast dark green lake, the twin suns sink from the sky, and the unknown death lies dormant on the distant horizon. "The King in Yellow... This is the earliest version of the King in Yellow..." Lynch murmured, "The earliest long poem written in Calcosa's language."

Carcosa... Isn't that the city described in "The King in Yellow"?The kingdom that perished before the appearance of man.

How old is this manuscript?And isn't that place probably not on Earth?After all, there would not be two suns on Earth.

Why is it spread here?

"Maybe this is also a copy, but it should be very close to the earliest version."

Chu Yang took a step back, "This is a very dangerous thing. Even the Presbyterians dare not watch the second act."

Lin Qi knew that Chu Yang was right, but for some reason, he felt that the manuscript was screaming at him, ordering him to read on.

He could even feel a line of sight behind him, a line of sight that did not belong to Chu Yang shot from the stone statue of Nyarlathotep.

He carefully photographed the manuscript from beginning to end with his mobile phone, then carefully put things back in place.If this is something his mother left him, saying that it was for him to take it when he was desperate, there must be her intentions.

They came out of the basement, only to find an uninvited visitor standing in the dilapidated hall.

He was wearing a long black windbreaker, his figure was tall and straight, and his face was extremely handsome, but he looked austere because he was too ruthless.He held a cane in his hand that he didn't seem to need, vaguely like a gentleman who came out of a certain era in the past.

Chu Yang had never seen him with his own eyes, but he could still recognize his identity from the eyebrows and eyes that were too similar to Lynch.

Lin Qiao.
