Chapter 536: Continues as Usual

After hearing what Captain Lake said, Duanmuhuai and Professor Parmar returned to the cabin. Then Captain Lake took them to the radio station and handed them headphones.

"This is what we just received."

"………………"

Duanmuhuai and Professor Parmar looked at each other, then took the earphones and put them to their ears, and then heard intermittent calls coming from inside.

"This is Ge... We are being... not... begged..."

Except for a few words that could barely be heard at the beginning and in the middle, the other parts were all noise. Hearing this, Duanmuhuai raised his eyebrows and said nothing, while Professor Parmar looked at the captain in confusion.

"How is this going?"

"I don't know, maybe I came here before..."

"I know, we will investigate when the time comes."

Duanmuhuai gave the answer calmly. He had almost guessed what was going on.

It's obvious that those idiot cultists are overturned.

Isn't this normal? Stupid mortals always think that they can control the evil gods by their own strength, but in fact they have no such ability at all. The reason why the investigators stopped them is not to stop their ambitions - after all, the ambitions of these guys are bound to fail. But to stop these idiot cultists from having fun and destroying everyone.

Yes, their ambitions are bound to fail.

This is not a possibility, but a necessity.

The reason is also very simple. Most of these cultists feel the thoughts of the evil god through inspiration. Then they think they have found the truth of the world, and then they begin to desire to achieve their own goals by pleasing the evil god.

But in fact... what they feel, in the most common words, is - a blind man touching an elephant.

That's right, human beings' spiritual power cannot completely understand the existence and essence of the evil god. They can only perceive the part they can perceive. It's like in this world, many artists can perceive the dreams of evil gods, and then draw many evil creatures - and think that these are some kind of evil signs or come from the indescribable and indescribable dark part of the world.

But if you think about it a little more, maybe what you sense is just a nightmare of an evil god.

It's like a person dreams that he is surrounded by a swarm of flies, or dreams that his house suddenly explodes on the spot... exploring reality through the ravings of evil gods in nightmares is the same as trying to decipher Goldbach's conjecture through the dream talks of your college roommate. Just as funny.

In fact, many adventures have similar situations. The player plays the role of an investigator to investigate the conspiracy of the cult, and then invades step by step until the end, and then comes to the location of the final ceremony. Confronted with those cultists, but suddenly at this time the cultists received a decree from the evil god, saying that the investigator was the key to completing the ritual, and the investigator was required to make the choice.

So a large group of cultists stood there like a retarded person, watching helplessly as the final decision on their elaborate ritual was in the hands of an investigator who had been chasing them...

This is actually no different from dreaming. Many people have similar situations when they dream. They dream that a group of people are designing a ritual to please themselves, and then suddenly someone comes to stop them. Then they find it fun, and then let that person decide the ritual. The success or failure of success--this is illogical in reality, but dreams do not talk logic to you.

Although they received a strange radio, everyone did not change their itinerary. After all, this is Antarctica, and they should take care of themselves before taking care of others. So everyone set off from the icebreaker first, went to the Queen Elizabeth Station, and started cleaning the scientific research station. Because it is in Antarctica, even vacant scientific research stations do not need to worry about being too dirty, as long as the various facilities can be used normally.

It must be said that everyone was very lucky. Not long after entering the scientific research station, a sudden snowstorm followed, so that everyone had to go to the scientific research station before they even had time to appreciate the blue sky and white clouds of Antarctica. Take shelter from the cold at the exam station.

"Aha……………"

Lying on the bed, looking at the howling snowstorm outside the window, Mary couldn't help but sigh. All the way up to now, she just felt like she was dreaming. At first, it was just an accident in the foggy city, but in the end, she actually let herself go. Ran to Antarctica?

Until now, Mary found this unbelievable. She even wondered if it was all a dream. Maybe tomorrow morning, she would wake up in her warm and comfortable apartment and go to school with Asher and Charlie. , and then go to Mrs. Leeds's restaurant for afternoon tea, and then she will tell about the dream she had, and then be teased by Charlie, and then the three of them will discuss Ashay's fiancé...

After thinking about it, Mary closed her eyes and fell into sleep.

Compared to Mary, who was exhausted and fell asleep in the snowstorm, the other person was much more energetic.

"Finally, finally alive...!"

Lorena almost raised her hands in the air, as if praising the goddess.

"Goddess, I'm finally alive!"

"To be honest, I really didn't expect you to be seasick."

Looking at Lorena, who had been like a dead fish all the way, and now she was finally resurrected with full health, Duanmu Huai also shook his head. It was obvious that Lorena might have a limited weakness. After all, since she started following Duanmuhuai, she has ridden in carriages, gunboats, starships, cars, trains, airships, and airplanes--it's all fine.

As a result, I boarded the icebreaker and directly broke through the defense.

You don't get seasick even when you go to outer space, but why do you get seasick?

Then it can only be said to be God's will.

"Ugh...I didn't expect that either..."

Recalling the days on the icebreaker, Lorena also looked livid.

"Sir Knight, can I apply to swim back when I return? I think it will be more comfortable..."

Judging from Lorena's appearance, maybe she can really swim back to Tierra del Fuego from Antarctica.

"I've told the maid to prepare a plane, don't worry."

Duanmuhuai also silently comforted Lorena. Actually, he didn't really want to take a boat again...

"Okay... By the way, Sir Knight, what are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm investigating the whereabouts of these idiots."

Duanmuhuai holds an Antarctic map in his hand and is writing and drawing on it. Marked on this map are the locations of various scientific research stations, as well as some explored parts. Of course, this is not the point for Duanmuhuai. Duanmuhuai knows much better than Dr. Parmar and the others about the situation here.

First, he first drew out a mountain range higher than the Himalayas at 76 degrees 15 minutes south latitude and 113 degrees 10 minutes east longitude. Then he drew a rolling mountain range from north to west, and what is hidden between these mountains , it is one of the holy places that countless players are eager to check in but cannot get - the city that the ancients once left, and what is hidden under this city, sleeping for tens of millions of years, is the most disgusting. With the ugly weird race.

Shoggoth.

Judging from the previous radio signals, the scientific research station is located not far from the Crazy Mountains, which means that this group of cultists chose the route closest to the mountains. Now we don’t know whether they were killed by Shoggoths or by Shoggoths. Was Si killed, or was he killed by the Shoggoth?

Well, there is no other possibility anyway.

There was no way that these idiots and Shoggoths were holding a bonfire party hand in hand when Duanmuhuai rushed over.

The Queen Elizabeth Station where Duanmu Huai and others are located is relatively far away. Obviously, it needs to be reached by plane... Of course, this is not a problem for Duanmu Huai. As long as the weather clears up, then he can directly get there. The maid flew in to take them there.

If icebreakers weren't needed to transport supplies... Well, it's too late to say this now.

"How's it going over there, Miss Mary?"

"It depends on the situation. Pay attention. If the soul of her friend is really here, I think she will have some kind of reaction with Mary."

Duanmuhuai looked at the map in front of him, then stretched out his hand and nodded.

"If this is the case, then we will have to rely on the Golden Eyes to guide us."

Then, he spoke.

At this time, you have to believe in the power of friendship.

……………It should be friendship, right?

The cold wind howled.

The cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew against the window, while Mary closed her eyes tightly and fell into a deep sleep as always. To her, this was just the same dream, but it was so different.

At some point, the sound of the howling snowstorm turned into the sound of pattering rain. When Mary came back to her senses, she suddenly found herself holding an umbrella and standing on the street of the foggy city. There was no one here. , as if she was on her way back to her apartment when she suddenly came to her senses.

But soon, Mary realized something was wrong.

This is not the foggy city she is familiar with, this is another world, the place where she once desperately struggled and escaped. She stood at the crossroads and looked around - everything that came into view was a light mist, blocking all the scenery and buildings.

But soon, Mary saw a certain point of light flashing not far away.

She quickly picked up her pace, crossed the intersection, walked through the street, and came to an alley.

"Mary......"

At the same time, a voice that was no longer familiar sounded from her ears.

"Charlie? Where are you?"

Mary held the umbrella tightly and shouted loudly. Soon, a series of hurried footsteps sounded again, but this time Mary did not hesitate at all, following the place where the footsteps came from, and almost ran over.

"Not again, Mary."

Charlie's voice was broken and filled with sadness.

"No, Charlie…………!"

Of course, Mary would not stop because of her friend's stop. She just gritted her teeth and ran forward. Then, the girl passed through the thick fog in front of her - the next moment, the howling cold wind and snowflakes came. , making Mary stop subconsciously. When she looked forward again, she saw that she was no longer in the foggy city, but on the cliff of an extremely tall mountain range. Under this cliff is a strange, twisted city that has never been seen before, extremely huge, and full of strange multi-dimensional structures.

It seems to stretch to the end of the world, as if it is the master of it all.

At the same time, Charlie's voice sounded again.

"Don't come, go back, Mary......"

"No, Charlie, where are you? I............"

However, before Mary finished her words, the next moment, the cliff under her feet suddenly collapsed.

"———————"

Then, Mary widened her eyes in surprise and sat up.

Outside the window, the blizzard was still fierce.

"Charlie............"

Staring at the blizzard outside, Mary clenched her teeth.

"I will definitely find you."

I don't have a fever anymore, but my stomach is still not feeling well, I feel nauseous, sweat easily, and want to vomit if I drink too much water. For the time being... I will update one chapter every day to see when it gets better... The rhinitis is still there
