Whether it is Nyarrathotep or Azatos, these two names are a little unfamiliar to Zhang Heng.

After realizing that he was likely to be involved in the game of the gods, Zhang Heng swept all the myths and stories that could be found on the market, but no matter Greek mythology, Roman mythology, Norse mythology, or even ancient Celtic mythology, there were no stories related to these two names.

But Zhang Heng knew very well that this was not the same as the situation when he first encountered the monster from Papua New Guinea, the tribe that worshiped that monster had died out in the long history, so almost no one in modern society still knew the name of the monster, and it could only survive in the still time realm.

However, this time, the opponent Zhang Heng faced was obviously not such a miscellaneous fish.

When Sachus told that bizarre and strange story, he mentioned a sentence that Zhang Heng cared about very much, he said that human beings live on an island called ignorance and are wrapped in a black ocean, but that black ocean is not an obstacle to exploring the outside world, but a kind of mercy and protection for human beings, so we should never approach the truth, because it will bring endless madness and fear.

As if to corroborate his own claims, after he and Dr. Baker returned from their expedition and had mental problems, the two tried to find the cause, and Sachus found a book in the library related to the city under the ice, but after reading one of the articles, his mental condition deteriorated further, and the nightmares became more frequent, so the two had to stop the investigation.

And after that, they all chose to live in the depths, trying to isolate themselves from the outside world, Sachus has not watched TV for more than ten years, and has been on the Internet, which shows that what they are afraid of is by no means unknown.

And Loki also mentioned in his dying that because human beings felt that the previous version of the apocalypse was not exciting enough, they had patted their heads to create a new god, who not only had the genes of killing, but also the seeds of destruction.

If nothing else, this new god is the master of the city under the ice, and the current boss in Nyaratotip's mouth is also the culprit who caused Sachus and Dr. Baker to continue to fall into madness, but the strange thing is that Zhang Heng didn't know about its existence before this.

This situation is undoubtedly not normal, and in connection with the porcelain analogy that Nyarrathotep just mentioned not long ago, Zhang Heng frowned, "Someone has done something to me, so that I can't receive any information related to you, who is the person who did this, Chronos?" ”

"Your instincts are sharp." The monster in the black mist said, "That's right, Chronos created a talisman for you at the request of your adoptive parents, and that talisman can cut off the connection between you and the owner of the city under the ice, and at the same time drive everything else related to it out of your life, well, you can understand that talisman as a green dam-like escort software that can automatically block information that is very dangerous for you." ”

"Dangerous?"

"That's right, your situation is very special, the lord of the city under the ice, it does not stay there voluntarily, it is rumored that only when the stars return to their positions, it can wake up from its slumber and bring the destruction of the world, but no one knows when the stars will return, this thing originally sounded like a gimmick to fool people, so for so many years its dependents and believers have been looking for new ways to let their masters leave that city.

"They have made many attempts, and they have put in unimaginable effort, but unfortunately most of them have been in vain, the seal of the stars is strong, their master's body is completely unable to leave the underwater city, and can only influence its believers and potential believers through spirits, and finally, one of them, a smart man, was inspired by a nightmare to find a solution that seemed feasible at least in theory.

"Since their master's body can't leave that city, why don't they make a vessel in which their master's spirit descends and thus escapes from that cage? When he told the other fanatics what to do, the crowd boiled over, for they seemed to be able to see the day when their master would return to the earth.

"But this method sounds simple, but it is not easy to do at all, because the container is so difficult to find, you can't just build a pot and pan on the side of the road, and their owner, just the spirit exuded in his slumber, is enough to make ordinary human beings completely insane, seriously ill and even crazy.

"Not to mention the advent of the Essence, although its fanatical followers regard it as the glory of their lives, but I am afraid that as soon as the Advent Ritual begins, their spirit will be completely unbearable, and they will choose to cut themselves off, so choosing the right container has become their top priority.

"They have made a lot of attempts, and finally found that among all the experimental subjects, newborns have the best phase, not only humans, but also various animals, but they also took a detour after that, initially set their sights on those newborns who were born psychics, and for this reason they also attacked the Inuit tribe in Greenland, those psychic newborns are indeed more receptive to the arrival, but they only last a little longer than ordinary people, and they still can't survive the ritual.

"Those fanatics were very distressed for a while, until they got a special baby in Tibet, who was different at the beginning of his birth, he could breathe and have a heartbeat, and his physiology was normal, but he lost his soul, and there was no sparkle in his big eyes, which looked like two glass marbles, and he was abandoned by his own parents in front of the temple.

The lamas in the temple picked him up, but they couldn't help but sigh when they looked at him, because they knew that this child should not have been born in the world at all, and even if he was born, he was destined to live for a short time, but the lamas had a good heart, and still took the child into the temple and fed him with rice porridge.

"But no one expected that the news would be learned by the fanatical believers in the mountains, who attacked the temple on a moonless night, and although they were finally repelled by the lamas, they also succeeded in snatching the child, the vessel they had always dreamed of."
