Chapter 1260 Special Container

Whether it is Nyarlathotep or Azathoth, these two names are somewhat unfamiliar to Zhang Heng.

After realizing that he was probably involved in the game of the gods, Zhang Heng scanned all the mythological stories he could find on the market. However, whether it was Greek mythology, Roman mythology, Norse mythology or even ancient Celtic There is no story related to these two names in mythology.

But Zhang Heng knew very well that this was different from the first time he encountered the monster from Papua New Guinea. The tribe that worshiped that monster had disappeared in the long history, so almost everyone in modern society No one still knows the name of that monster. It can only survive in the static world of time.

However, the opponent Zhang Heng faced this time was obviously not such a piece of trash.

When Satchus told that bizarre story, he mentioned something that made Zhang Heng very concerned. He said that human beings live on an island called ignorance and are surrounded by a black ocean. However, that black ocean is not The obstacles to exploring the outside world are a kind of compassion and protection for human beings, so we should never get close to the truth, because that will bring endless madness and fear.

As if to confirm his own statement, after he and Dr. Baker returned from their expedition and experienced mental problems, the two tried to find the cause. Sachus found a novel about the city under the ice in the library. However, after reading one of the articles, his mental condition worsened further, and the nightmares became more frequent, so the two had to stop their investigation.

And then they all chose to live in seclusion and isolate themselves from the outside world as much as possible. Sachus had not watched TV or surfed the Internet for more than ten years, which showed that what they were afraid of was by no means unknown.

Loki also mentioned before he died that because humans felt that the previous versions of the apocalypse were not exciting enough, they created a new god by slapping his head on his head. He not only had the gene for killing, but also the seeds of destruction. This The newly born guy feeds on fear, spreads like viral fission through new online media, harvests faith, and continues to grow at an unimaginable speed.

If nothing else, this new god is the master of the city under the ice. The current boss in Nyarlathotep's mouth is also the culprit that caused Satchus and Dr. Baker to continue to fall into madness. But the strange thing is that Zhang Heng is... Before this, I had no idea of ​​its existence.

This situation is undoubtedly not normal. Reconnecting it to the porcelain metaphor that Nyarlathotep mentioned not long ago, Zhang Heng frowned, "Someone has done something to my body so that I can't receive anything related to you." Information about who did this, Chronos?"

"Your intuition is very keen." The monster in the black mist said, "Yes, Kronos made a guardian talisman for you at the request of your adoptive parents. That guardian talisman can cut you off from the ice. The connection between the owners of the city, and at the same time driving everything else related to it out of your life. Well, you can understand that amulet as a escort software similar to Green Dam, which can automatically block those Very dangerous information for you."

"Danger?"

"Yes, your situation is very special. The owner of the city under the ice does not stay there voluntarily. It is rumored that only when the stars return to their original positions, can it wake up from its slumber and bring destruction to the world. However, no one can I don’t know when the stars will return. This thing originally sounded like a gimmick to fool people, so over the years, its dependents and believers have been looking for new ways to allow their masters to leave that place. City.

"They have made many attempts and put in unimaginable efforts. However, unfortunately, most of the attempts have been in vain. The seal of the stars is very strong. Their master's body cannot leave the underwater city at all. He can only use his spirit to escape. Those believers and potential believers who influenced it, finally, a smart man among them was inspired by a nightmare and found a way that seemed feasible at least in theory.

"Since their master's body cannot leave the city, why don't they create a container and allow their master's spirit to descend into that container and escape from the cage? When he told the other fanatics this method Finally, all the fanatical believers became excited because they seemed to be able to see the day when their master would return to the earth.

"But this method sounds simple, but it is not easy at all to implement, because the containers are too hard to find. This is not something you can just build pots and pans on the roadside. Their owners just use them in their sleep. The spirit it exudes is enough to drive ordinary humans completely into madness, causing serious illness or even madness.

"Let alone bear the advent of the true body. Although its fanatical believers regard this as the glory of their lives, I am afraid that as soon as the advent ceremony begins, their spirits will be completely unable to bear it and they will choose to commit suicide. So Picking out the right container became their top priority.

"They made many attempts and finally found that newborns had the best compatibility among all experimental subjects, not just humans, but also various animals. However, they also took a detour after that, and initially focused on For those newborns who are born with psychic abilities, they even attacked the Inuit tribe in Greenland. Those psychic newborns are indeed easier to accept, but they only last a little longer than ordinary people. , still couldn’t survive the ceremony.

"Those fanatic believers were very distressed until they got a special baby in Tibet. He was different from the beginning of his birth. He could still breathe and have a heartbeat, and his physiological functions were normal, but he lost his soul. There was no sparkle in his big eyes, which looked like two glass marbles. He was abandoned by his biological parents in front of the temple.

"The lamas in the temple picked him up, but they couldn't help but sigh when they looked at him, because they knew that this child should not have been born in the world at all, and even if he was born, he would not live long, but the lamas were kind-hearted. , he still took the child into the temple and fed him with rice porridge.

"It's just that no one expected that the news would be learned by the fanatic believers in the mountains. They attacked the temple on a moonless night. Although they were repelled by the lamas in the end, they also succeeded in grabbing it. That child, that container of their dreams.”
