The Nuuk Museum of Art is brightly lit, but strangely there is no one in the exhibition hall.

Until there was a rush of footsteps at the door, a figure stumbled in from the outside, and he went straight through the empty exhibition hall, oblivious to the priceless paintings on the walls, and the gold and ornaments on the counter, and ran all the way to the westernmost wall of the exhibition hall where Inuit artifacts were hung.

Reaching out and grabbing the top wood carving, it was a mask, exquisitely made, and looked quite mysterious, but the visitor did not care at all, and roughly stuffed it into his handbag, and then turned his head and ran outside.

But just as he turned around, a voice suddenly came from not far away, "It's rare to come back, are you in such a hurry to leave?" ”

The visitor stiffened when he heard this, but he didn't stop and still ran towards the gate, and his car was parked in the parking lot of the museum, and he only had to run through the door and run twenty meters away.

However, the next moment there was a gunshot in his ears, and then there was a sharp pain in his leg, and the man fell to the ground, and the handbag with the wooden carving also fell to the ground.

"Tut-tut, it's all old friends and I don't want to do this, but you take my things and want to leave without saying a word, it's a bit rude." The voice continued.

The man who fell to the ground did not speak, but struggled to crawl in front of his handbag again, took out the wooden carved mask from it, and then put his finger into the mouth of the mask, and pressed it downward, and the wooden carving's forehead immediately opened, and an oval pebble rolled out of it.

There is a five-pointed star carved on it, and in the center of the five-pointed star is an eye, and the person who comes holds up the stone and speaks to the person on the second floor.

"Oh, old seal, really? You actually hid the old seal in my museum, I have to say that this trick is indeed very powerful, I sent someone to search your clinic and the school office more than once, but I couldn't find it, I didn't expect this thing to be right under my nose. The man who spoke walked down the stairs on crutches.

There was a look of despair in the intruder's eyes, and he simply held the stone known as the old seal in his hand as if it were his lifeline.

However, then he heard the man on crutches joke, "Don't be stupid, doctor, this thing might be useful against those deep divers and kunyan, and it will keep you from a good night's sleep, but I'm just an ordinary person like you, and this thing won't do anything to me at all." ”

It was none other than Dr. Baker, whom Zhang Heng and Songjia had visited, who had broken into the art museum, and he lowered his hand a little dejectedly when he heard this, but he still held the old seal, and finally spoke.

"We've known each other for more than twenty years, not counting the Chinese couple, you're the bravest and most determined person I've ever met, and to this day I still can't believe that you would choose to surrender to that monster."

"Why, are you going to influence me with your eloquent mouth?" The man on crutches asked, "Don't think of me as one of those stupid fanatics, my mind is very clear, and there must always be someone who understands the overall situation, this is the agreement between me and the Great Being." ”

"Promise, or your own delusion? That monster doesn't seem to be the type to make appointments with people, and you know your own situation, if you really don't have a mental problem, why did you start coming to my clinic frequently to see me for psychological counseling after you came back from that scientific research trip. The doctor gasped, the sharp pain in his leg that covered his forehead with sweat.

The man on crutches fell silent when he heard this, and after a moment he spoke again, "Anyway, in the end we will all fall into eternal pleasure, it's just a matter of one day earlier and one day later, and there is not much difference, I have only recently figured out this matter, all these years in order to avoid falling into greater madness, I have been following your advice to go out of the simple house, cut off the Internet, do not read newspapers, and do not associate with anyone outside, but how long can we last? I've heard that its name is becoming a household name on the outside, and it's in an isolated place like Greenland that you and I can survive until now. ”

The man on crutches paused, and then said, "I regret participating in that scientific research expedition all the time, I don't think your situation is very good, although you have closed the clinic, but you are still working part-time in the school, and there are even international students from abroad in your school, you must have a hard life." ”

"Luckily, when I can't, I put cotton balls in my ears, and I'm no longer online." "Actually, we should all be glad that we hadn't read the books or heard of its name before we came across it, otherwise we would have gone crazy at the first sight of it, and we would have become completely insane fanatics." ”

"The more you know, the closer you get to madness, and the man who came up with this premise is a genius," the man on crutches muttered, "and a sober person will never know the truth." ”

Probably because of the sympathy for the same disease, after saying this, the two people in the hall fell into silence again.

But soon, the man on crutches spoke again, "Doctor, you ask yourself if I have taken care of you enough over the years, those fanatical believers want to absorb you, I stopped them, you refused to hand over the old seal, and I went with you, and even recently you have been very close to our enemy, the shamans of the Inuit tribe, and I have always turned a blind eye, so why do you still test my bottom line again and again?"

"That's right, I can indeed restrain those fanatical believers to a certain extent, but if they know that you took the old seal from me, both of us will not be able to eat and walk around, you and I have seen those people go crazy, I don't want to be like that, so I can only be sorry for you." The man on crutches raised his shotgun as he spoke.

"Wait," the doctor raised an arm in front of his face, "I didn't mean to steal the old seal while those fanatics weren't there, although I admit that I did have this in mind, but we have experienced something like this before, an earthquake, a red aurora, and with these abnormal meteorological disasters, its activity will become more frequent, and we may not be able to survive it, and this time is different from the last time, just three days ago I had a very terrible dream, I dreamed that it ran out of the palace below, The whole world will be in ruin, and we need to do something about it before it's too late. ”
