Those so-called monsters are nothing more than some spies or cultists pretending to be ghosts, and Faust is ready for it.

However, things did not go as smoothly as he had hoped, but were full of accidents, and what happened that night was only the beginning.

Faust got up from his bed early the next morning, and as soon as he got out of bed, he found dense footprints beside his bed.

He couldn't help but be startled, the spy disguised as a monster had entered his home last night, and these footprints seemed to be intentional, trying to make it difficult for him to retreat.

But the more this looked, the more Faust couldn't let go of it.

While investigating the case of the floating corpses in the flood, he began to investigate the monsters that the villagers had called them.

Most of the villagers were reluctant to talk about Faust, except for the high priest of the village, who could say a few words, but what he said was very mysterious.

What do we really know about the world and the universe around us? We have few means of perceiving, we have a narrow and almost zero understanding of the reality around us, we can only observe things in the way we are constructed, but we have no idea of the nature of things, we have five faint senses, and we think we understand this infinitely complex universe, while other beings, their senses are broader and more powerful, and even have completely different perceptual domains, not only seeing things that are vastly different from us, but also perhaps being able to see and study them even though they are close at hand. But the human senses are unable to perceive the material energy and life in other worlds, and I have always believed that this strange and unreachable world exists all around us, and now I think those guys have given us the answer. ”

Faust didn't say much, and he could see that the high priest belonged to a fanatic, and that it would be the most terrible thing to try to convince this guy to accept his ideas.

When the high priest saw that Faust did not believe his words, he became angry and drove him out.

Faust had no choice but to give up, and those who hid in the depths of the jungle made perfect use of the local legends, and made everyone fearful, I have to say, they were very accurate in their calculations, and these stupid villagers also fell into the trap of those guys.

When he returned home, the words of the high priest and the ideas he expressed seemed to manifest themselves in the darkness of the small circle of candlelight, and there was always a strange sound of speech in the room, which made Faust disgusted.

Faust's fears, however, soon succumbed to growing curiosity and fascination, and Faust could only scurry around like a headless fly, and the High Priest must have had some astonishing secret, or found that he was simply unwilling to tell himself.

Faust used to be particularly fond of the forest at night, but now the night had become his nightmare, and at about three or four o'clock in the morning, a strange light suddenly appeared.

He looked around at the wide attic beneath the sloping south wall, where the light that was not visible to the ordinary eye dimly illuminated it, and the distant corners of the walls were all covered with shadows, and the whole room had a vague, unreal sense that obscured its essence, stimulating the imagination towards symbolism and fantasy.

Faust was silent for a long time, and during this time he imagined himself coming to some great and unbelievable temple, the enshrined shrine long gone, and the countless black stone pillars in the faint palace, rising from the damp slabs at his feet, deep into the clouds beyond his vision, the picture was clear for a moment, but gradually replaced by another, more frightening feeling, utter and resolute loneliness, as if in an infinite space where nothing could be seen, could not be heard, where there seemed to be only loneliness, only loneliness, Faust was scared like a child, and fear drove him to pull out his trousers, and Faust had been armed ever since.

At this moment, the sound from the most unreachable distance crept into reality, faint, its undetectable flutter with an unmistakable sense of music, but also contained an unusual madness, bringing the feeling of torturing Faust's entire body by precise means, the experience was like the touch of a person accidentally grasping frosted glass, and at the same time, something resembling a cold air flow gradually appeared, as if blowing towards Faust from the direction of that distant sound.

Faust held his breath and waited to feel the sound and the cold wind slowly intensifying, giving him a strange idea, as if he were tied to the rails and the massive locomotive was advancing.

Faust was now in a vortex of sound and movement, all in front of him with chaotic images, and he saw the vague outline of the attic, the undiscernible shape or smoke, like a boiling column.

Then he saw the temple again, and this time he saw the pillars jutting into a vast sea of light in the sky, and the sea of light shot a dazzling light along the previous pillar of smoke.

In the aftermath of this scene, Faust seems to have fallen into a kaleidoscope, and in the midst of the chaotic sound of the well and the impressions of his senses, he feels that he is about to fall apart, somehow losing his physical form.

There was a fleeting sight that he could never forget, and at that moment Faust seemed to see a strange night sky, and the sky was full of swirling and shining spheres.

Just as the scene dissipated, he saw the dazzling stars, forming a constellation or constellation of stars with a definite shape, and this shape was the face he had seen before.

At that moment, he felt a huge object pass by it, occasionally walking or floating by, he was supposed to be a physical body.

Suddenly, Faust felt a certain heightened vision, and in the midst of the glowing and shadowy chaos, a picture arose, blurry but with a certain coherence and continuity, and in fact a little familiar, for the unusual superimposed on the ordinary worldly scene was like a movie picture on the screen of a projection theater.

The space occupied by that thing was not a single bit vacant, and the indescribable myriad of shapes were formed into disgusting messy masses, and there were countless communities of unknown foreign objects around them? It's as if all familiar things suddenly fall into the unknown.

The number of these unknown creatures was terrifying, like insects, with wings fluttering slightly behind them, and Faust was horrified to find that they overlapped each other and were able to penetrate each other's bodies and the surfaces we thought were solid.

The monsters moved and fro, drifting with some kind of evil gaze, sometimes seemingly devouring each other, and the attacker pounced on the victim, who then completely disappeared from view, and Faust could not help but tremble, feeling as if he knew what was in the forest, and no matter how hard he tried to observe the invisible world that existed around him, he could not get the image out of his mind.

At this moment, a ray of sunlight poured from the window on Faust's face, and he was unconscious.

When he woke up again, Faust was already lying on the floor, and he thought that the reason for his hallucinations was that the high priest had used some kind of sorcery, perhaps to calm his nerves and dispel the thoughts that came to Faust's mind every time he saw the air and sky above his head and around him.

He no longer seemed to experience the feeling of solitude and comfort, and that fear came over him creepily when he was tired.

But the more frightened he became, the more he wanted to explore everything, and Faust took out the door and rushed out into the unknown forest, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, she saw a city in the depths of the forest, and the whole city stretched from the square along the hillside, and looked to the other side, and at a close distance was a huge building with a richly decorated façade, which was so well preserved that it was evident that it had been carved out of hard rock.

In the face of such a behemoth Faust, one can only guess how he built the façade of the temple, which is indescribably large, and seems to cover a whole depression in the mountain, because of his many windows, so that it is more widely distributed, and in the center of him is a lying open, and the steps under the door rise majestically, and the delicate reliefs around it seem to be a carnival, and the people in the banquet are the outermost

The monumental columns are decorated with beautiful, indescribable reliefs depicting idealized pastoral landscapes.

There are also priests and priests holding bizarre ceremonial utensils and worshipping the radiant gods. The artistry embodied in the reliefs, that is, perfection, is conceptually predominantly in the ancient Greek style, but peculiar and unique, all of them look ancient and terrifying, more like the most distant ancestors of Greek art than the similar fathers of modern times.

Faust had no doubt that every detail of this huge temple had been carved out of the primordial rock of the planet, and it looked like a part of the valley wall, and he really couldn't imagine how its magnificent interior had been hollowed out. Maybe it's built around a cave or a series of caves!

Time and plants have not corrupted the primeval majesty of this temple, even after thousands of years of resting in the darkness and silence of the depths of this dense forest.

Faust doesn't remember how long he stared at the city's buildings, vaults, statues, bridges, and beautiful and sacred sprawling palaces? Tonight he knew death was imminent, but he couldn't contain his curiosity.

He turned the beam of his flashlight, hungrily searching for all the secret pillars of light, allowing him to see many details, but still failing to illuminate the inside of the stone temple's gates.

After a while, Faust realized that he had to save electricity, so he turned it off, and after so much exploration, he could clearly feel that the beam was much darker than before. It seems that it is about to be plundered.

Crawling through the deserted streets filled with silt towards the ancient river, he found no human bones or relics, but collected a large number of artifacts, mainly statues and coins.

With the help of a flashlight, Faust walks up the temple steps and studies the carved beams of the exterior wall to shoot at an upward angle into the temple door, while he looks in, trying to see anything but finds nothing, not even the ceiling.

He poked the ground with his stick and took a step or two inside, but he did not dare to go any further, and what was even more terrifying was that he experienced fear for the first time, and as the temple became more and more attractive to him, he developed a more and more blind fear of the abyss in the depths of the dense forest.

Now he has to save electricity and use it in an emergency.

Faust spends the whole day in complete darkness, tormented by thoughts and memories.

Faust could not sleep, not thinking about the future, she sat quietly in the darkness without light, contemplating the inevitable outcome, and her brain began to recall all the things that had happened earlier, evoking a memory that had been dormant until then.

The head of the glittering idol on the outer wall of the rock temple turned out to be exactly the same face as the one in front of his window that night.

The coincidence made him a little dizzy, but not frightened, a strange coincidence, but Faust was so resolute in his reason that he would never put together factors that he did not admit to be logically related, or in any bizarre way connected to his present situation.

Feeling that he needed to rest, he took the tranquilizer and fell back to sleep, and in his dreams he seemed to hear many cries for help, and the faces posted on the windows, the idols, and the faces that sneered at him.

He carefully recorded what happened after he woke up, because his mental tension was high, and the fact was undoubtedly mixed with a large number of hallucinations, and his situation was undoubtedly very interesting from a psychological point of view, and it was a pity that he could not have a competent doctor to observe his medical records.

When he opened his eyes, Faust first felt an unquenchable desire to visit the temple of the rocks at once, a desire that grew stronger with each passing day, and which he instinctively resisted by evoking fear that was the opposite of what it did.

The next sensation seemed to allow Faust to see light in the darkness after the battery had been depleted, and to see a phosphorescent glow coming out of the hanging windows of the Temple of Physiognomy piqued his curiosity, knowing that nothing could emit such a strong glow.

Before he could go to find out, a third sensation appeared, as if Faust were hallucinatings, and the rhythmic and rhythmic auditory illusions seemed to be some kind of madness, but beautiful chanting or chant chorus.

The light was so terrible that it didn't take long for Faust to discern what was around him, and he climbed to the top, and found that, in general, the whole area was not as bright as he had imagined, that there were no plants and animals in the vicinity that were phosphorescent, that the city was faintly in the darkness, and that what he saw was not spectacular, nor deformed, or terrifying, but took away the last glimmer of hope in his consciousness, for the strange light was evident from the doors and windows of the temple carved out of the rocky mountain. It was as if there was a flame burning on the altar in the depths of the temple.

Then things went haywire, and he looked at the doors and windows that shot strange lights and became the prey of the last grotesque hallucinations, which were so grotesque that it was impossible to even describe them.

Faust vaguely saw objects in the temple, some still, some moving, and he seemed to hear again, the illusory song that wafted from the time he first woke up, and all his thoughts and fears were focused on the face he had seen before him and on the relief in the temple in front of him.

He remembered what the priest had said to him before, although it was a little outrageous, but it was also traceable.

Now Faust has lost his concept of time, and in the darkness he can't help but regret it, but it is too late.

All he could do was escape the temple, but how easy was it for Faust? The temple was like some unknown spell, and Faust's body couldn't move, even though he knew what he was going to do.

In this state, he gradually lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he didn't know how much time had passed, and he was lying in a hospital bed.

Because the previous sheriff found out that Faust was missing, he organized an investigation team to find Faust's figure, and finally found Faust in the darkest forest.

Faust was lying on the mossy ground, looking at the sky with a blank expression, and his mouth kept muttering certain words, which sounded extremely rhythmic but the specific sound was incomprehensible, and no one present knew what Faust meant.

It took a lot of effort to get Faust back, and the doctor examined Faust's body and found that there was nothing unusual, but because of the sheriff's reaction, Faust was kept in the hospital for a few days.

Although Faust's eyes were open, he was in an unconscious state, which startled almost everyone.

The doctor was also very shocked when he saw Faust's condition, saying that it was the first time he saw someone like this, and it was probably stimulated by something terrible.

After Faust woke up, he stayed in the hospital for almost half a month, until his consciousness was fully restored, and his body had returned to its previous state, and he left the hospital, and he gave Tesla all the evidence he had obtained, and wrote to Tesla to tell him what happened.

He became more and more interested in such events, and felt that there was something unknown around humans, but that humans were unaware of their existence, and Faust became more excited whenever he remembered the temple and the flood.

He loved the thrill and grew to love the feeling of the unknown, and it didn't get much more interesting than that for him.

As he delved deeper, he found that everything began to become confusing, and all of this had been documented, but these accounts were confusing, more like messy clues, and of course, he also knew that as long as these clues were pieced together, then the truth would also surface.

But the moment it surfaces, the danger is really coming.

He was back there

A place, just because of the flood, that place has been surrounded by the sea and turned into a city.

The people call the city the City of Water, and everything that came before has been reduced to dust and nowhere to be found.

However, for Faust, he remembered everything that had happened, and of course knew that what had happened before was not a hallucination, but a real thing.

He had been thinking about the fact that he was in the temple, but when everyone found him, he was lying on the moss-covered ground.

Could it be that the temple was a hallucination of his own despair? In a way, he believed that it was not an illusion, but something real, but that for some specific reason, the temple had hidden itself in some unknown way.

He found the priest again, but unfortunately, the priest had already died, and those who knew all this were lost, and all the information was left with the strange legends that had once frightened.

The people in Watertown have forgotten about this matter at all, and they have avoided talking about the comparison.

The former dense forest has been reduced to a multitude of buildings, with only a few parts remaining, and the former temple has been covered by a water source.

No one knew where the strange creatures came from, and no one knew if the strange creatures really existed, and everything had disappeared without a trace, leaving only mysterious legends.

Faust wrote down everything he knew in a notebook, and listed them one by one in order to find useful clues from them.

He took off his clothes and dived into the water for about ten minutes, but he didn't see anything strange, and the temple of Faust was still waiting for him.

After spending some money to buy some equipment from other places, including oxygen tubes, wetsuits, and a series of other equipment, he entered the water source again.

It took almost three days, but still nothing, and just as Faust was about to give up, the moonlight sprinkled on the lake, and he seemed to see the phantom underneath, the temple he had seen at that time.

He hesitated, but he still gave up his reason and swam in his diving suit, and with the light of the flashlight, he found that the previous temple had become more confusing.

He followed the aisle to the interior of the temple, where the previous relief had changed into something else, but it still had some kind of magic that made people want to explore.

From time to time, a strange voice sounded in his ears, and this voice made him feel a trace of fear that he had not felt in a long time.

Faust looked extremely excited, the corners of his mouth smiled meaningfully, he knew that all the mysteries would be solved, and as he went deeper, he saw many technologies that did not belong to human civilization, and these technologies have surpassed humans for tens of thousands of years, and he really couldn't imagine what kind of creatures once lived here.

The reliefs on the walls gradually began to turn into specimens, and these specimens were strangely shaped creatures, although they were underwater, but all the specimens were dry, and when he touched them with his hands, these specimens actually had a melting effect, and a liquid flowed out, which was not snow, but a dark green goo, and even inside the wetsuit, he could smell this pungent smell.

The pungent smell made Faust a little uneasy, and he took out the tool in his hand to dissect the specimen in front of him, trying to find out the genus of the monster, but it added to the mystery of the specimen.

The nervous system of this thing is so complex, so highly developed, that Faust feels a little stunned, although it is too primitive and ancient in some respects, but this creature has a set of nerve centers and ganglia, indicating that their nervous system has developed in a certain direction, and this specimen has characteristics that are very common to any other terrestrial creature, and perhaps these creatures have more than five senses.

Faust looked at the endless darkness and didn't know whether he should continue to walk, he took a deep breath and tried to restrain his deepest fears to the deepest part of the temple.

When the scene in front of him really happened in front of him, he was a little overwhelmed, even a little crazy, and all the hallucinations filled his head.

A huge stone door, filled with insects-like monsters, these guys seem to be resting like dead corpses.

Faust lost his mind and swam back in a hurry.

And the chanting he had heard before came to his ears...... It was like praising something, and the voice he heard was undoubtedly the sound of those monsters.

Faust finally understood that the secrets hidden in those legends were not for humans to explore, and that humans could only get some clues from the general facts of those legends that were not enough to understand the whole story.

And those who leave legends do not want anyone to know the truth of everything, those legends are legends, not legends, on the other hand, they are just a warning from the ancestors to the future generations.

Faust thought that it was too late for him to think that he knew, and he looked behind him, and his eyes were fixed on him like lanterns.

He hurriedly swam forward as best he could.

Only an angry roar was heard, followed by the sound of the stone pillar shattering, Faust's body was uncontrollable, and he was directly hit by the current, directly hitting the wall, and his ribs were broken about three or four times.

Faust didn't care so much and swam forward, he didn't know what kind of monster he was up against, and now he had only one thought, and that was to escape from the temple.

But how easy is it to say this?

The monster was so fast that it couldn't be seen clearly, and in the blink of an eye, Faust had already blocked Faust in the corner.

Faust broke out in a cold sweat, for the first time he felt so close to death, and of course he could see what the monster in front of him was.

This is a huge carp, about ten meters long, the scales on this fish are about the size of an adult, although it has fallen a lot, but it is extremely shiny, under the illumination of the light, it even exudes a strange color.

This scene in front of him undoubtedly made Faust subvert the three views, he had never seen such a huge carp.

But the temple wasn't in the water before, so where did the carp come from?

Faust couldn't help but wonder what was going on, could it be that the carp had come to this temple because of the great flood.

Carp is a kind of carp with a long lifespan, if a good growth environment can be ensured, the average carp life span can reach 70 years old, or more than 70 years old, in fact, it is about the same as the life expectancy of a human.

So how big can the general carp grow, the carp during the life span, the koi grow very quickly from hatching, among which the male carp grows fast before the 2nd instar, and the female carp grows fast after the 2nd instar. On average, it is 1 cm long after hatching, 2 cm after 40 days, 3 cm at 60 days, and 8 cm at 80 days. Later to 1 year old carp is 10-20 cm long, 2-year carp 24-30 cm long, 3-30 cm long, 5-year-old carp 45-50 cm long, 10-year-old carp 55-70 cm long, after 10 years old carp can grow to 1-1.5 meters.

The size of the fish tank has a lot to do with the size of the carp. Generally, carp in small fish tanks can only grow to two or three inches due to the restrictions on the carp's movement area. In rivers and lakes, carp can move around a large area, and can be generated without restrictions, and it is natural to grow to 1 meter or more.

But these ten meters or so is really outrageous, it's just a refinement.

The point is that this thing is very reproductive, and not only that, but the resistance is also maddening.
