Corners of the universe.

The surface of a planet with no signs of life.

On the barren land swept by a superstorm stands a low building that is theoretically impossible, completely unaffected by the environment.

From a different perspective, the building will take on a different form.

Maybe it's an ancient castle, maybe it's a pool of filthy blood, or maybe it's the belly of a living thing, or maybe it's a starlight concave.

Now, let's look at the structure of the "human" brain:

The building corresponds to a bar in the American West.

Bursts of cheerful voices were coming from within, like a game going on.

The hall is only furnished with a large wooden round table.

A total of eleven 'guests' sat around, all very different in makeup, speech, and features, and seemed to be the same species.

A brief description of the morphology of several of them (all from a human perspective):

A man seated in the northeast corner of the round table stepped on a shoe that had overflowed with seawater, and the other was barefoot on the ground.

Similar to the pirate captain's outfit, his long wet hair fell down his shoulders.

It is like soaking in the deep sea all year round, with ravine-like wrinkles covering the face, and the pupils of the eyes are shining with psychedelic stars, as if they can lead to the [Fantasy Dream] that is both virtual and real.

Whatever you do, you have to be half a beat slower than the rest of the people around you.

There is also a person dressed in a delicate English vest, the skin of the whole body is gray, and the gestures show an aristocratic temperament.

When the person is viewed from different directions, the facial features are always missing (the mouth cannot be seen from the top side, the left eye cannot be seen from the right, and the nose cannot be seen from the bottom of the side)

The rest of the 'guests' also have their own characteristics and are easy to distinguish.

At the large round table, facing the first seat of the bar, sat a man in a straight suit, who was also the person in charge of the building, a bartender from a human perspective, and the leader of the group who sent out urgent information to attract some of the guests to the meeting.

The bartender has a strange square face, and his deep pupils are like the most distant galaxy clusters.

This group of 'people' gathered together to play a game of gambling around a conference.

Each guest has at least five "chips" with the corresponding emblem printed on them.

A model of the City of London with a round table surface, scaled to perfect proportions.

The details of the walls, buildings, streets, and the River Thames have been restored, and even some kind of giant life can be seen in the walls.

In the center of the round table, a stable movable stand carries the "second tabletop"

The second table is placed in the parallel world - the city of London, that is, an independent space created by using the royal title deed to allow the Vortex Cult to develop secretly.

By resembling a derivative chessboard, the state of the two cities is presented.

In addition to the building.

There is also a series of figurative "individual models", symbolizing the "alien demons" belonging to different old kings who are trying to infiltrate the city of London, mainly atavistic figures, placed in different areas of the round table.

Some of the models are still located on the outskirts of the city of London on the main chessboard, symbolizing that they have not yet entered the city, wandering in the dark forest, in the basin area outside the city, or in the villages.

Some models have made their way into the city, but have yet to find a way to infiltrate the parallel space.

and a very small number of models, which are already in parallel worlds...... This includes models that symbolize the Fourth Primordial - Sally, the Horror Hunter - Campber, the Pibald Toad - Maritis, and Han Dong.

The meeting was divided into two parts.

[1] London gambling:

The bartender sits in the bank, synthesizes the parameters of the universe, and formulates reasonable odds for different models (aliens).

Guests can use the chips in their hands (corresponding to the title deed) to place bets on the model.

[2] A formal meeting for the Destiny Space:

The game ends when a demon captures the "Unclaimed Divinity" corresponding to the Vortex Miracle. Based on the fateful events that took place in the City of London, there will be a discussion that touches on the rules.

Of course, this group of people is more inclined to the first item of the meeting.

It's been a long time since we've gotten together to play.

Moreover, this gamble involves several little ones who can leave their names on the [Ancestral Stone], and the event itself also involves divinity from other worlds, as well as foreign substances that can threaten the nature of the alien demons.

The reason why

The Old Kings tried not to interfere with the events taking place in the city of London as much as possible.

It's just that,

I want to keep more "variables".

The more variables there are, the more interesting the game will be, and the more interesting their bets will be.

……

The game begins.

A middle-aged man with a mist escaping from his whole body and a dark face like a corpse made the bet first.

When you raise your hand, a mist emanates from obscuring the light and inducing the fall of all things...... This fog seems to be the "Nameless Mist" that hangs over the surface of the Earth and ushers the world into the Age of Eternal Night.

"If you want to play, just play a little more exciting, I'll go straight to stud!

The performance of the [First Primordial Essence] cultivated by the boss in the last primordial competition was too amazing.

Among these little guys, he should be the only one who can fight against the mythical body head-on and alone.

Although the kid has the crazy blood of the boss in his veins, he has an alternative calmness, and now he is still waiting for the opportunity outside the [Giant Wall].

I guess when the time comes, he'll go for a strong attack to make the game quicker and more fun. ”

The chips emblazoned with the misty icon were all pushed next to a model with long curly hair and a twisted stance.

As the people say, the model is still outside the city walls, waiting for a certain moment...... The whole exudes a crazy atmosphere.

Although the odds are only 1:1.4.

However, there are still many customers who will put some or even all of their chips on this model.

After a while, it was the turn of a 'lady'.

A seductive and sexy black dress

There seemed to be a forest of rotten sheep resting between the skirts, and the hair like twigs and vines fell on the shoulders,

On his unusually beautiful face, there was a mark of a sheep's hoof.

Even though this lady is like a carrier of 'temptation', the guests at the scene have no thoughts, or rather, do not dare to have any related thoughts at all.

"Nine chips, for Sally...... There's also one more for the little guy. ”

Chips that symbolize high land deeds are thrown very casually.

Nine trotter chips land next to the model of Sally with the trotters on it, showing odds of 1:2.7.

The final chip landed on a model next to Sally.

It's just an ordinary model with no atavistic markers, and the payout given by the bartender is [1:19].

As the chip landed on the ordinary model, the bartender smiled rarely.

Follow.

It was the turn of the old man with his boots constantly overflowing and dressed as a captain.

Without speaking, he directly divided the chips printed with octopus in half, half to one of his powerful subordinates, and half to the ordinary model selected by the previous lady.

Just when everyone was surprised, thinking that this old man had too many land deeds in his hands and wanted to give away the land deeds for nothing.

The gray man in the small vest, with a wave of his hand, pressed all the chips printed with the faceless head to this ordinary model, and even showed a happy expression and a cheerful whistle in his mouth.

The first 'fog man' who placed the bet looked surprised, he seemed to be very familiar with the gray man, and asked curiously:

"What's this little thing? Why not share some chips on the offspring of the boss? ”

"It's just a game...... Since everyone finally got together once, it is necessary to have a little more exciting.

It's just a few title deeds, and trouble is coming soon, and dividing out a few title deeds can also relieve my personal pressure. ”

Hint: The above is what you see with [normal human vision], if you change your brain waves, you may see a different scene.
