"Why would you join such a mysterious order when you've returned to Nuuk safely, and you've said you'd put the events of that expedition behind you?" Songjia asked the biggest doubt in her heart.

"Because both the doctor and I underestimated the impact of the thing we saw below, our lives did calm down for a while after we came back, but then we had nightmares at night, and we began to have an inexplicable low-grade fever, and the content of the dreams was generally related to the city under the ice, at first we just thought that it was because the previous scene was too terrifying, so we were impressed, so it would appear repeatedly in the dream, but then we took the next time, and found that the days we dreamed were almost exactly the same, And the content of the dream is the same, and then we realize that there may be something wrong with us.

"But then we went for a medical check-up, and nothing came out, and our physical indicators were normal, except for the nightmares, and we didn't know who to help, and since the end of that expedition we had lost contact with Mr. Tem, and he seemed to have vanished out of thin air, and considering what he had done to us, I wouldn't have gone back to him even if I had his contact information.

"So I called the Chinese couple again, and they told me that they weren't bothered by similar nightmares, and that they had been in normal physical and mental condition since the end of the expedition.

"The doctor and I were very strange, and at one point suspected that it was just a delusion, but when we found the old seal they gave us and put it on our bodies, things got much better, but instead of being happy about it, we fell into a great panic, because it meant that the underground city and the monsters below were still affecting us in another way.

"And after that, in my daily life I always felt that someone was secretly watching me, and the doctor also felt this way, in order to unravel the secrets of our body, we began to investigate the city under the ice on our own, and I noticed that the description in the book was very close to the city, but on the night I borrowed the book from the library, I had a terrible and long nightmare, and finally opened my eyes and found myself lying in the hospital bed, and the doctor was beside me looking at me with a melancholy face.

"Seeing that I woke up he barely managed to squeeze a smile on his face, I asked him why I was here, and he said that I had been in a coma for a whole day and a half, and I was so shocked that I thought I had been drugged by someone, but then I remembered a somewhat inexplicable thing that Mr. Tim had said to us before he parted, that ignorance is bliss, and that sometimes the more you try to find the answer, the deeper you will fall.

But I didn't take this to heart at the time, so when I went back, I checked the water and food at home, and after making sure that there was no problem, I opened the book again, and read the first story called "Mountains of Madness", which was honestly not easy to read, the sentences were obscure, boring, and full of descriptions of the environment, but the protagonists in the story were very similar to my experience, except that they went to the South Pole, and Greenland was in the Arctic Circle.

"But the more I read it, the more terrified I became, because I had reason to suspect that the monsters that appeared in that story were the same species as the one who attacked our camp before, and they didn't seem to be creatures on Earth, and if I had read such a story before this expedition, I would have thought of it as a fictional horror story, but now I suspect that the author of that book had experienced something similar, unfortunately, he has been dead for many years, otherwise I would have called him." Sachus said.

"And after reading that story, I climbed into bed again, I had insomnia for a long time, I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and it was about four o'clock in the morning before I fell asleep because of exhaustion, and then I found myself back in the city under the ice, and I was scared half to death, especially the things in it came to life, and strangled my neck with their tentacles, and I felt like I was about to lose my breath......"

"It wasn't until I vaguely heard the doctor's voice calling out my name, and then I finally broke free from that horrible nightmare with all my strength, only to find that I was lying in a hospital bed again, with a catheter and needles stuck in my body.

"Baker said thank goodness, Sachus you finally woke up, I asked him how long I slept this time, he said it was a full five days, the hospital suspected that I would never wake up again, during this time he kept putting an old stone mark on my chest, and this coma also confirmed one thing for me, that is, I can no longer investigate, the truth, it is likely that it will only lead us into endless madness and fear.

"The doctor agreed with me because he had done some research, and he was doing a little better than me because he was wearing the old badge at the time, but he also felt that his mental condition was worse, and his low-grade fever and nightmares became more frequent. So we came to a consensus and stopped there.

"At the same time, we began to resort to some scientific means to stop those nightmares and restore our spirits, and we did some psychotherapy, but with little success, and tried to forget all about that expedition, but it was unsuccessful, until one day a mysterious half-breed came to my house and told me that he had a solution to my current problems.

"I had guessed he was lying from the beginning, but at the moment I was looking around the world for a way out of the nightmare, and I would try it any way, so I went with him to their Order.

"They were doing a daily ritual, and when I got to their station, I felt that something was wrong, because it was decorated in a style that resembled the terrible city under the ice, but it was too late for me to leave, and they forced me to watch their bloody and crazy rituals, and I realized that the object of their worship was the great black shadow in the palace in the city.

"After the ceremony, they completely tore my face with me and gave me two options, one is to start working for them from today onwards, and join them at the right time, to be one of them, they say that I am also the chosen one, this is my final destination, and the other is to be the sacrifice at the next sacrifice, to be honest, I don't want to choose either, but in comparison, the first one is still slightly better than the second, so from then on I became the commander of the group."
