In the Shimmer Theater, an eerie atmosphere spreads. As the unknown stage play is performed, the audience has a sense of fantasy, as if falling into a dream.

For the repertoire performed on that stage, it was as if I was dreaming, but I wanted to travel to the world on the stage and observe everything. It seems that there is a headache, and the mind is under the influence, and it is fluctuating and tumbling......

As for the stage, the actors are still carrying out the repertoire in a state of oblivion. Everyone saw a little girl in a dress coming up to the stage from the right side with two skirts, still with a fresh face.

"Mother, do you prefer blue or green?" The little girl playfully fiddled with Queen Cassirda's skirt, and her acting skills were many times better than today's little fresh meat.

Seeing this, Queen Cassiluta was distraught and said, "I'm going to die......"

But the little girl still fiddled with her two skirts and said, "What do you want to wear to the celebration tomorrow?" ”

"Whenever I look at the lake at dusk, I can see Kalkisa on the far other side." Queen Cassiluda said.

The little girl smiled helplessly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't be kidding, Queen Mother." I'm asking seriously, but you're talking about a city that doesn't exist. If Kalksa was really on the other side of the lake, shouldn't anyone have noticed it? ”

"Sorry, dear. I've recently read some old stories that have made my brain quirky. ”

Du Fei watched the stage performance from the audience, it seemed that he had experienced a lot of abnormal events, he didn't seem to be much impressed, but looked at the plot very seriously and said: "I didn't expect "Alice in Wonderland" to be very interesting, can the current stage technology make people immersive?" Anyway, isn't that little girl Alice? ”

Du Fei asked the person next to him that he had not seen or heard of "Alice in Wonderland", so he thought that "Alice in Wonderland" was playing on the stage, but it was a completely different script.

"That's not Alice, that's Camilla, Queen Cassiluda's daughter." As an ancient, Ye Yifan knew the performance content of this script, but when he talked about its plot, Ye Yifan's face was very gloomy.

And Han Qixuan was stunned when he watched the stage performance, his action of grabbing popcorn also stopped abruptly, and he was a little stunned and said to the high-altitude wind and clouds next to him: "Daughter-in-law, is the "Alice in Wonderland" I watched pirated?" It doesn't feel like it's for kids. ”

After speaking, Han Qixuan also pointed to the children in the front row. Their expressions have become very dark, and their bodies are shaking at the same time, and they look completely frightened, but the performance is not very scary at the moment.

Gao Shui Fengyun was also puzzled, and at this time, Ye Yifan, who was an ancient, pointed out the name of the script: "That's not "Alice in Wonderland", but "The King in Yellow", a cursed script. ”

Yes, the name of this stage play is "TheKinginYellow" and it is a cursed play. At the beginning, Ye Yifan got the script of this stage play at Miskatonik University. Fortunately, I was stopped by Uncle Ango when I was about to read at that time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable......

Hearing the name of this script, everyone was puzzled, but they knew that Ye Yifan, who was an ancient man, knew everything and asked him for details.

"The King in Yellow" is a script that records the incantation of "creating a space-time gate". Anyone who reads or finishes this script will draw the attention of Hasta, the Old Dominator. They are blessed with Hasta and often draw inspiration from its brutal beauty to create works that depict the worthlessness and nihilism of human existence. ”

Ye Yifan took a deep breath and continued: "But it will have an effect on the human spirit, and will subtly lead the reader to madness by distorting dreams......"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, how could they be the old rulers again? They've all dealt with so many anomalous events, how come the old dominators are always haunting them.

At this time, Ye Yifan said again: "The person who performed "The King in Yellow" may be a cult called the Brotherhood of the Seal of the Yellow Coat, who claims to be the Yellow-clothed Friars distributed in human society and believes in the old ruler Hasta......

Ye Yifan stopped after speaking, through the forbidden knowledge of the primeval ones, it knew that Hasta was a high-level old day ruler who represented the "wind", and although his strength and influence were not as good as those of the outer gods, he was one of the strongest old day dominators, and Ya Fermza's level was completely insufficient.

It is also Cthulhu's brother and sworn enemy......

"So, this is also a cultist like the Order of the One? They are acting this script to make humanity cursed? Summoning the advent of Hasta? "The sky is high.

Ye Yifan nodded and replied: "After watching the performance, people will deceive themselves, and the conscious self is the character in the script, and their spirit will indeed attract the incarnation of Hasta to come and ......."

After hearing this, Ye Yan took a deep breath and said, "Are those actors on the stage the ones who have finished reading the script?" Where did the original troupe go? What about Sister Yanxue? ”

Hearing Ye Yan's words, Ye Yifan realized this problem. It was the cultists who performed on stage, so where did the people from the original troupe go? Yanxue she ...... Will there be any danger?

"But I really saw ......"

The sound on the stage came into Ye Yifan's ears, and then he saw the curtain of the stage falling. This marks the end of the prologue, and the opening of the first act is next.

Although the people sitting in the audience wondered that the content of the performance was not "Alice in Wonderland", the performance of "The King in Yellow" had a strange attraction. They didn't care about the content of the performance anymore, but discussed the plot of "The King in Yellow" one after another.

Ye Yifan felt that he had to do something, so he said to everyone: "The King in Yellow" is divided into two acts, the first act is relatively mild, but the second act is very shocking. We've got to stop the show quickly, or it's over." ”

After speaking, Ye Yifan took the gift prepared for Mu Yanxue, he opened the wrapping paper on it and divided it into four parts, and then mobilized his spiritual power, and used his bandaged left hand to carve red incantations on it.

Everyone looked at the incantation, like the meridians of a tree, and it didn't have any special power. And Ye Yifan was a little tired after carving the incantation, because it consumed spiritual power, and as an ancient person, it mobilized these powers, and the erosion would become more and more serious.

"This is the old seal, the power created by the ancient gods. It drives away evil forces and protects against evil gods. You won't be affected by the show if you take it with you. ”

After speaking, Ye Yifan stood up and walked in the direction of the stage, it wanted to terminate the performance. And everyone just watched it pass by, because it was no longer human, but primeval, with the power to defuse anomalous events.

Walking in front of the stage, Ye Yifan wanted to go on stage, but found that there was a strange force that separated the stage from reality, just like the fourth wall of the stage materialized, blocking the connection between the story world and the real world. If Ye Yifan wants to be on the stage, he must be a character in the plot.

But now, as an ancient one, Ye Yifan has a way to break this wall. It wanted to mobilize its spiritual power again to draw an old seal, but as soon as it raised its hand, it frowned, and a kind of power exploded.

"Did you hear Queen Cassiluda's singing?"

Du Fei, who was sitting in the audience, asked hoarsely and asked, which made Ye Yan and them all stunned, but soon, they knew what Du Fei meant.

There is a singing voice, which seems to come from the stage, and it seems to sound in my own heart, and it is the actors under the curtain singing? Or the Yellow-Cloaked Seal Order?

It was a clear female voice. As clear as a lake, as sad as a forest, it resounded in the theater and in the hearts of the people:

Along the shore, cut the clouds;

The twin suns sink into the lake

A long shadow fell

It's right there in Karksa.

A wondrous night when the Black Star rises

A wonderful moon that runs in the night

But what's even more amazing is that

Lost Kalksa.

Ye Yifan was stunned, this song statement is clearly the singing of Queen Cassiluda in front of the throne at the opening of the second scene of the first act, but now that the first act has not started, how can there be a second singing?

The interior of the theater has become a yellow glow, the space is distorted, and the singing is loud. The audience in the audience, and even the immature faces of the children in the front row, became expressionless, as if they had been dead for a long time, and they sang along with the quiet female voice:

No one hears Alpadiades' song

The king's ragged clothes fluttered in the wind

The song died silently

Dim Kalksa.

My soul can't sing anymore

My songs are like tears that no longer flow

Only dryness and silence are there

Lost Kalksa.

The audience's faces were full of strange fanaticism, they were all affected by this singing, and Han Qixuan saw this scene and hurriedly blocked the ears of the sky and said, "Ah! Daughter-in-law, this song is weird, don't listen to it! ”

When something happened, she didn't think of herself first, Gao Kong Fengyun felt that she was true love with Han Qixuan, but she still pushed Han Qixuan away helplessly and said, "Didn't you find that we were not affected by singing?" ”

"It's an old seal given by Yifan." Du Fei said and took out the paper engraved with the veins of the tree trunk, and the pattern on it was emitting a faint light, which indicated that the old seal was working.

But the rest of the audience is not like this, their minds are affected, and it may not be long before they become followers of the old ruler Hasta......

Ye Yifan felt that he was moving a little faster, and he hurriedly mobilized his spiritual power, wanting to draw a big old seal on the curtain to disperse the singing.

As Ye Yifan mobilized his spiritual power, his left hand began to swing like a tentacle, and faintly disgusting mucus dripped from the gap in the bandage, and even the left hand itself was swollen, as if it was about to break through the blockade of the bandage.

After becoming an ancient, Ye Yifan knew that every time he mobilized his spiritual power, he would be corroded by taboos, which was manifested in the fact that his mind would become darker, and his body would become more and more like a monster, and finally he would completely become the "incarnation of Yogsothoth" in the world.

Even so, Ye Yifan didn't give up, but its strange hand just touched the curtain, and suddenly a yellow light erupted on the curtain, and a yellow mark like a tentacle distortion appeared on the curtain.

The people in the audience, with the exception of a few who were sheltered by the old seals, saw the huge imprints on the curtain swirling, flickering, and wriggling, and suddenly the effects of the singing ceased, and they all saw the lake and a towering tower......

Ye Yifan knew that the mark, which was the yellow seal of Hasta, the king of yellow clothes, was the source of evil and madness, and it was also a sublime symbol for Hasta's followers. And the people who saw the yellow seal were also cursed, and their expressions were very dull, because time was forbidden for them.

They will be tormented by horrific nightmares about the Yellow King, Karksa and Hasta, and will further lose their minds until they are ingested in a frenzy.

Ye Yifan still has to eliminate the yellow seal first, and the best way is to use the old seal to eliminate it, so that people's curse will be lifted.

But at this moment, the mutation struck again......

A strange, loud whistle sounded out of nowhere, and although it was not loud, it had a unique melody that seemed to be full of darkness and evil.

Then Ye Yifan heard a spell from behind the curtain:

"Summoning the melody of the traveler, carrying the body, summoning the traveler!"

As soon as this sound sounded, several people heard the sound of flapping wings in the sky. Then, the ceiling of the theater burst into several large holes for no apparent reason. Shards of glass and concrete fell, and in the moonlight, countless strange monsters descended from them.

It was a humanoid creature with the characteristics of bats, birds, and insects, with a segmented body like an insect, a membrane with bat-like wings and claws, and bird-like legs, and it did not belong to any kind of creature on earth.

The primeval Ye Yifan knew their names. Hasta's servant, the subordinate clan Baiaki! They are at the behest of the cult that summoned them, and are commanded by the Yellow Seal.

The arrival of Baiaki was a great shock to the people, and several people tried to escape, but Baiaki was torn in half without warning. Blood sprayed, flesh blurred, extremely cruel......

There were also a few baiaki flying towards Ye Yifan's side, although Ye Yifan had a spell to deal with them, but when he thought that it would aggravate the corrosion, and there were so many people who looked at it, his identity would be exposed, so he fortunately ran directly into the safe passage on the side of the stage.

It's none of his business whether others live or die, anyway, Feige and they have the protection of the old seal, and Baiaki can't hurt them. So Ye Yifan plans to save Yanxue first, then report to TPC, and finally come back to save them!

Thinking about this, Ye Yifan closed the door, and could hear Bai Yaqi banging on the door with all his might. Ye Yifan knew that the door would not last long, so he directly drew an old seal on the door with the power that had not been consumed just now, and Baiaki's impact stopped.

The mutation in his left hand intensified, and Ye Yifan didn't think much about it, and ran directly to the depths of the safe passage......
