Volume 1: The Call of Cthulhu Chapter 20 Light
As soon as I stepped up the steps of the tower, it began to rain in the sky.
The pungent smell poured into Li Yu's nose all in one go.
She covered her nose and looked at the sky suspiciously, unable to believe it.
"How can it rain in this part of Antarctica?"
It is important to know that due to the high altitude, thin air, and the reflection of solar radiation on the surface of ice and snow, the Antarctic continent is the coldest region in the world.
"No, I've got to get to the two of them."
Li Yu suddenly had an ominous premonition.
The tower juts into the sky, and the gate in front of it is made of an unknown substance.
"It's certainly not built by humans."
Pushing open the door, a smell of fragrance wafted into my nose.
The surrounding scene is not very different from what you have seen in the cave before, and the ten large black pillars are carved with strange patterns. And the lines on the floor are also strange.
The outside doesn't shine in the light, but the inside is very bright, and not only that, everything is unusually neat as if someone has cleaned it.
"Is there a civilization here?"
Li Yu walked a little further and saw a staircase made of red vines, and they were intricately arranged. Looking down, the stairs are also carved with patterns.
Wang Feng ...... Han Ning? β
She tried to call out to the two of them, but no one answered, only a dead silence.
"I'm so funny......," Li Yu smiled helplessly, and slowly walked to the second floor of the white tower with the steps.
The second and first floors are completely two worlds, and the floor of the second floor is covered with fossils of paleontology.
"It's really luxurious, using tens of thousands of years of fossils to make the floor."
Although Li Yu didn't know who did this, it was conceivable that this civilization was once the overlord of this earth.
"How did I suddenly fall in love with these things......"
I don't know what's going on, but the things I see seem to have a kind of magic that makes her unable to extricate herself.
When Li Yu came to her senses, she had come to a very empty place, with a huge five-pointed star under her feet, and five huge statues standing around her.
These statues are all the same, like a starfish, with countless tentacles on top of a rugby ball, which makes people frightened and inexplicably awe-inspired.
She touched her chest and frowned, "Why do I feel like I'm blaspheming something?" β
βtekeli-liβ¦β¦β
"Who's there?" A voice suddenly sounded in Li Yu's ears.
She walked over slowly: "Wang Feng? Is that you? β
And no one responded.
"Did I hear it wrong?"
Li Yu sighed, she could feel that she was very scared, but she couldn't control her curiosity to explore the white tower.
A drop of liquid dripped onto her clothes.
"It's so fragrant......"
She sniffed and looked up.
Countless corpses hung upside down from the ceiling, liquid dripping from their mouths.
"This ...... What the hell is this......"
She panicked and tried to flee, only to find that her body could not move and froze there.
The eyes of the corpses looked directly at themselves, which deepened the fear.
"Ahhh
Li Yu screamed, and the last line of defense in his heart was completely defeated.
However, when she opened her eyes again, she found that the corpses on the ceiling were all gone, replaced by red vines on the top of the stairs.
She rubbed her eyes hurriedly: "What the hell is going on?" Could it be that I was mistaken? β
A flash of light hit the woman's face, and everything around her was illuminated by the beam.
I don't know why, at this moment, all the fear is gone, and a warm force always wraps around me.
Li Yu seemed to hear someone calling his name, and his body involuntarily began to walk towards the light.
"What the hell am I doing?"
She was still sane, she knew there was an unknown danger in the light, but there was nothing she could do to stop it.
"Quack Quack ......"
Li Yu looked back in horror, and the group of penguins he had met in the camp before were dancing there and roaring like laughter.
But those guys didn't attack Li Yu, but scurried around like headless flies, as if they were running away from something.
"Tekeli-Li" was heard in his ears again.
Li Yu looked around, there were no other creatures except those penguins.
"I don't know what would have happened without these penguins, but why have you been so upset since you entered this tower?"
Ever since she entered the tower, she had had an ominous premonition, and she couldn't tell what was going on.
The penguins patted their bellies, slowly walked towards her and swirled around her.
The rattling sound in his mouth also changed to tekeli-li.
The two figures mixed in this group of penguins are the Han Ning and Wang Feng they are looking for.
With their eyes closed and smiles on their faces, they blended in with the penguins.
Wang Feng ...... Han Ning! β
Wang Feng and Han Ning didn't seem to hear Li Yu's shout, but they kept shouting in their mouths: "Tekeli-Li ......"
"What the hell is going on? What does this term mean? Anyway, these two people have already been found, as long as you find the statue in the mission, you can leave this ghost place. β
Li Yu looked at the appearance of the two of them, and he was ready to make up his mind.
"But where is the statue?"
Through the perception radar, it can be determined that the statue is where he is, but the perception radar can only provide him with an approximate location, not an exact location, so he needs to explore it himself.
"But the situation at hand ......"
Li Yu was a little anxious, after all, the situation was special now, there were already two people in the team who were crazy, she had to take care of these two people, and she had to look for the statue, which was simply a lack of skills.
"If you go to find the statue and leave the two of them behind, nothing will happen! Wait......"
She suddenly thought of something, and looked up at the five huge statues, weren't they exactly the same as the statues in the mission?
Thinking of this, Li Yu hurriedly took out the photo and began to compare.
The statues in the photo are the same as the statues in front of me, but the size is different, the statues in the photos are obviously much smaller, and the statues in front of me are too big.
"I'm sure the statue is in this white tower, but where is it?"
At this moment, Wang Feng and Han Ning suddenly knelt on the ground, their mouths open, their expressions distorted, and they looked very painful.
