Volume 1: The Call of Cthulhu Chapter 13 Doesn't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods
With the light of the flashlight, the scenes on both sides of the passage also came into Wang Feng's mind.
"Someone!" Han Ning grabbed the two.
Li Yu thought that Han Ningcun wanted to scare him, but seeing his expression, it didn't look like he was joking.
"How can there be people here? Except for us......" When she turned her head, there was really a face in front of her
Wang Feng didn't say a word, picked up the gun and aimed it at the face, and then pulled the trigger.
I only heard a bang, and a hole lay peacefully on that face.
Only then did the crowd realize that the face they saw was nothing more than a statue.
"It really scares me to death, but seriously, this statue is quite realistic." Li Yu sighed, and at the moment just now, she was indeed scared half to death.
With that, she shook the flashlight in her hand and lit up the surrounding scene.
The situation inside is very different from the outside, with fossils that have existed for 10,000 years on the outside and statues on the inside.
Most of these statues are naked men, and the only strange thing is that these statues are only half of their cheeks.
"I always feel like these eyes are looking at us." Li Yu looked at the statue with a smile on his face, but he didn't know why this smile looked so weird in Wang Feng's eyes.
He approached the statues and checked them, not knowing if it was Li Yu's mental effect on him, he also felt that these statues were looking at him.
"Do you feel strange, the expressions of these statues seem to be afraid of something......" Han Ning only felt a cold sweat.
When Han Ning said this, Wang Feng noticed such a thing.
"Speaking of statues, have you ever thought about that legend?" Li Yu snapped his fingers.
"What legend?" Han Ning looked at this woman with a puzzled expression.
"You're talking about the legend of Medusa!" If Wang Feng's guess is correct, what Li Yu wants to say is this.
"And what is Medusa?" Han Ning turned his head to look at Wang Feng again.
"Medusa is the ancient Greek gorgon of gorgons, and anyone who sees her eyes will be petrified. The monster was slain by the hero Perseus with the assistance of Athena and Hermes. Perseus offered the head to Athena, so the head was inlaid in Athena's Aegis. Wang Feng explained briefly, and then carefully observed the statue in front of him.
Some of the statues have been shattered, and some of their facial expressions have been smoothed out.
"Originally, I felt okay, but when you said this, I felt even more terrifying, could this be Medusa's cave?"
Li Yu laughed helplessly, in fact, this woman was also very scared in her heart: "That's just a Greek myth, there's no need to take it seriously." How could that kind of monster really exist. ”
"That's right. Besides, this is the Cthulhu Mythos, not Greek mythology. Han Ning patted his chest and soothed, hoping that he had just thought too much.
Wang Feng on the side always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Li Yu is right, these statues are so realistic, as if they are real people. And this cave is at least tens of thousands of years old, why are there still human statues? Countless questions suddenly popped up, and a terrifying truth brewed in his mind: "Could it be ...... These things weren't statues in the first place, but human beings...... If that's the case, then everything makes sense, why are these statues so frightened? And disorganized. Because these statues are running away from something, but instead of escaping, they are turned into statues by that thing. ”
Wang Feng ...... What are you doing? Why did you suddenly stop talking? Han Ning couldn't help but be a little curious when he looked at Wang Feng's appearance: "Although these statues are very realistic, what is so beautiful, seeing too much will only make you afraid." Maybe you'll have nightmares at night...... Let's move on! ”
Wang Feng turned around and nodded.
"Maybe I just thought too much, how could there be such a ridiculous thing...... This is the Cthulhu mythos, not a Greek god...... Words ......"
He stopped, looked at the statue behind him in horror, and seemed to think of something.
"Hurry up and go......"
Li Yu hurriedly urged.
"Here it is."
Wang Feng hurriedly followed, temporarily burying the question in his heart, maybe all this was really just thinking too much.
"Speaking of ghosts and gods, I suddenly remembered a poem that pitifully sat in the middle of the night, and didn't ask the common people to ask ghosts and gods." Han Ning felt that the atmosphere was too heavy now, so he began to change the topic.
"The poem you mentioned, I remember it seems to be Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Jia Yi, but later someone refuted the rumors, saying that maybe Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty had no way to talk about politics at that time, because he had been monitored by others, so they used ghosts and gods to discuss what happened at that time. Of course, this is just wild history. After all, it's been so long, who knows if it's true or not? In ancient times, people often borrowed ghosts and gods to talk about government affairs. Li Yu and Han Ning explained the origin of this poem, she was originally a folklorist, and she was very proficient in this kind of wild history and official history.
But her words made Wang Feng nervous.
"Myth...... It's also one of the ghosts! ”
Wang Feng's head went blank.
"But let's be honest, all myths have similarities." Li Yu also felt that something was wrong as he spoke.
"Why didn't you say it all of a sudden?" Han Ning was a little puzzled.
"Run!" Wang Feng hurriedly urged the two.
Han Ning was particularly puzzled how these two people were so good, why did they suddenly become like this?
"What the hell is going on with you two?"
Li Yu looked at Wang Feng and was also alert: "You also found out, right?" ”
"Hmm!"
Wang Feng nodded: "It is very likely that the myth of Medusa is real. ”
"How is that possible? That's just a myth. Han Ning felt a little ridiculous, but at this moment, he also understood.
"Why is there a myth? Perhaps it was the ancient people who expressed things they didn't understand in their own way. Pity the night sat in the middle of the night, without asking the common people to ask the ghosts and gods...... Because it can't be said, it is expressed in an abstract way, or maybe it is not that it cannot be said, but that it cannot be expressed in words. Wang Feng explained.
"But we're talking about myths, not Cthulhu mythos, Cthulhu mythos are ......" Han Ning looked at Li Yu and the two of them in a daze, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "All myths have similarities. The Cthulhu Mythos is also one of the myths. ”
