There are no lights in the endless corridors full of eerie fantasies, and the dark and unforgiving Nemesis drives me towards self-destruction.

Now I only hope to praise God and forgive us for the stupid mistakes we have made.

Less than a week after returning to England, strange things began to happen, I was a folklorist by nature and lived a hermit-like life, living alone without friends and living in inhospitable areas.

Even if there were no servants, there were only a handful of people who were disturbed by the knocking of visitors.

It all started with the jade pendant I stole from my friend who was a tomb robber and we have been robbing tombs for a living.

My friend and I dug a grave with a shovel and were so excited that the white light and the moonlight blended together, and the horror and gloom that I still can't forget.

Strangely shaped trees, giant bats, old churches and dancing ghost fires make for a disgusting atmosphere.

Soon, we dug up an object that was harder than earth, and what caught our eyes was a splendid rectangular coffin, which had been buried in the ground, so that a layer of mineral sediment had formed on the surface, and this coffin was strong and heavy.

We pried it open, and the contents were a feast, as far as I knew of the tomb of a tomb robber, who had stolen a lot of good things in his lifetime, but some unknown beast had torn him to pieces with its teeth and claws.

Although 500 years have passed, there are still many things inside, and the skeleton is connected together in an incredible degree of strength, except for the parts that were broken by the beast.

At this moment, I discovered that there was a strange jade pendant on his body, which seemed to be hanging around the neck of the deceased, and was buried together.

The jade pendant carved a crouching winged hound, or possibly a Sphinx with a half-dog face, was extremely finely carved, and the expression of the hound on it was extremely disgusting, filled with the animalistic and vicious atmosphere of death.

There was a line of writing on the pedestal, but neither my friend nor I knew it, and the bottom of the jade pendant was carved with a misshapen and terrifying skull, as if it were the seal of the maker.

I stand

The horse became interested in the object and began to investigate the information, eventually discovering the meaning of the symbol in a book.

The book, known as the Necronomicon, was written by Al-Hassad.

And the symbol carved on this jade pendant is a terrifying shoe cult soul symbol, this shoe cult comes from Central Asia to the plateau, and Al-Hasad described the outline of those shoe cultists, he wrote in the book, the soul of the person who tortures and eats the corpse will be obscured in a supernatural situation, and the outline on the jade pendant is carved according to this.

Grabbing the jade pendant, he took one last look at his master, then restored the tomb to its original appearance and hurried away.

The stolen jade pendant had been in my friend's pocket, and the bats circling around it were more like looking for some kind of cursed evil food.

The next day we set off on a boat to get home, and we could faintly hear the barking of a giant hound in the waves.

But because we were so tired, we couldn't be sure if it was a hallucination.

When we got home, we often suffered from strange phenomena, and every night a behemoth would appear by the window.

Once we saw a huge, opaque object blocking the moonlight from the library window, and heard all sorts of strange noises, but we went to check it out and found nothing.

So we all attributed it all to our own hallucinations and hid the jade pendant at home.

Finally, one day, I heard someone knocking on the bedroom door, and I thought it was my friend so I invited the knocker in, but all I answered was a shrill laugh, and there was no one in the hallway.

I quickly woke up my friend, but my friend said he didn't know anything and acted as panicked as I was.

That very night, I heard, distant, faint dog barking, followed by faint, cautious scratching.

Things became more and more strange after that, such as the door suddenly opening and then feeling an indescribable air current, followed by rustling sounds, snickering and fading away talking.

I don't understand what exactly we are

What's going on? Is it crazy, or is it dreaming? It wasn't until finally that we realized that the voice, which had no body, was undoubtedly speaking our language.

Every night the nightmarish barking of the dog echoed outside and became clearer and clearer, getting closer and closer to us, and it was not long before we noticed a series of footprints in the room that were completely indescribable.

And swarms of giant bats appeared around the house, something that had never happened before, and the number of these bats increased day by day over time.

Finally the horror reached its peak in the days that followed, when it was dark for my friend to walk home from the train station, but on the way some terrible creature attacked him.

His screams reached the house, and I ran as fast as I could to see what was going on. But when I arrived at the scene, I heard only the flapping of wings and a vague black cloud.

And my friend was already dying, and couldn't even answer my question, so he could only whisper: "Jade pendant ......"

Then I buried him in the garden, and at this moment I heard the cry of a great hound, which must be not far from me, but I did not dare to look at him, so I could only crawl back indoors with my eyes closed and trembling, and in horror I found the jade pendant and bowed down.

In the days that followed, I did not dare to live alone in the ancient mansion on this barren mountain, so the next day I went to another place, and before I set out, I also wore this jade on my body, and burned all the ancient mansions with a fire.

But only three days later, I heard the barking of dogs again, and as soon as it was dark, I felt a pair of strange eyes staring at me, and once I went for a walk to breathe, but I caught a glimpse of a dark shadow behind me, and a very strong wind blew past me.

From that moment I understood that my friend was just an example to me, and that I would eventually become like him, torn apart by monsters.

I wanted to return the jade pendant to his previous owner, so I sailed back to the previous place, I don't know if I will be forgiven, but I think everything must be tried, I really don't understand, what is that hound? Why do you keep chasing me? But I can't answer any of these questions.
