Boom——!!

First of all, a terrible earthquake occurred without warning, ruthlessly destroying the land, destroying the towns, and causing everything to collapse one after another.

Immediately, this space was once again hit by a violent storm caused by an earthquake, and it was completely impossible to determine how it was generated when the weather system had stopped working, and anyway, it directly tore apart the bone marrow space that was the skeleton of the STEM world.

They delivered a devastating blow as soon as possible, and the Doomsday Storm sent the entire space trembling.

It did not rise gradually, but erupted at the outset, evolving into a hysterical rage, a fearful and unbridled destruction, followed by a great catastrophe that descended from the sky.

All people, no matter how far or near, no matter whether they are in the superficial world of Hele Town, or hiding in the bone marrow space.

At this moment, they all felt a strong fear at the same time, and their physical instincts made them want to kill themselves immediately.

Whether they see it or not, their minds are undoubtedly sensitive to the world that appears here as consciousness.

Therefore, they were all able to understand it at once, and immediately think of what might be lurking beneath the surface of this world, as if the unspeakable truth did not require a process of thought, and squeezed directly into their minds.

- Something lurking, or a tangible entity of ultimate horror.

It's not this false STEM world, it's not even the world out there, that planet, it's something that's supposed to have.

Then, almost as if a tangible darkness had come out of the newly opened abyss, along with something that had been drilled out. It's like an ancient cage that has been used for tens of millions of years, and finally lost the role it once used for captivity.

The imprisoned, twisted chaos that was transformed into something broke free from its shackles and began to rise to the surface of the world!

However, the surface of the world has long been torn apart, and the area where the town is located has become an independent floating island......

The concept of sky and earth has long been not so clear and clear.

Depending on the area each person was in, what they saw was the huge, blasphemous monster hanging down or lifting hundreds of meters from above the sky, or perhaps just a small piece of tentacle, from the sky or under the earth in frequent lightning flashes.

At first glance, it seems that the world is actually a round ball, and a huge squid-like monster is clinging to it outside.

It is as if it is a huge monster like a mountain, and in the twisted horror brought by that unspeakable scene, it has subverted all the foundations, powers and laws of this STEM world!

Coupled with the earth-shaking, deafening earthquake storm, and the terrifying thunder and lightning covered sky, it seems to be set against the backdrop of the end of the world-

This kind of extreme horror is enough to make people who see it go crazy and collapse in an instant!

Sebastian also learned in hindsight how terrifying that mental shock really was.

He is in the Lighthouse Mental Hospital and the world combined, and the nightmarish hell can be regarded as having the experience of going to it twice, not to say that practice makes perfect, but the SAN value is definitely much higher than ordinary people.

can scare ordinary people to the point of urine, and even the bloody and cruel and terrifying scenes that are heartbroken and scared to death, even if he does not have no fluctuations in his heart, he even wants to laugh a little.

However, he is indeed able to maintain a certain state of mind, and in that case, he can also think calmly and rationally, looking for a way out and vitality, and his spirit can be said to be tenacious and abnormal, and he is much stronger than ordinary people.

But in fact, he only glanced at it, and didn't even react to what he was seeing, and felt that his spirit and reason had been hit the hardest.

Although I tried my best to struggle and get rid of the growing madness and despair, my consciousness just couldn't control my body, and my mind was in chaos.

The ground was sliding and changing, and in the chaos, he didn't know anything, he could only grasp and struggle helplessly, but he still slid uncontrollably downward, as if he was about to fall into the abyss.

Extreme fear engulfed his thoughts—

Everything out there seems to be a long way off, and the whole world is crumbling......

In front of me, there were all kinds of visions that were as bizarre as kaleidoscope......

It seems to be in the unfathomable depths of darkness, with the disgusting monotonous sound of the abominable flute......

……

……

I don't know how long it has been.

As Sebastian regained consciousness, he found himself lying in the midst of the burning ruins of the town, somewhere in a fairly flat clearing.

Everywhere there were burning flames, rising black smoke, ruins, broken cement and steel bars...... And so on and so forth, the remnants of these collapsed and destroyed buildings.

The dirt and dust made Sebastian so dirty that he could barely open his eyes, and he only felt that every inch of his body felt as if it were bruised, and the pain was unbearable.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that he has just woken up from his trance and numbness, and immediately roared hysterically -

"Ahhhh——!!h

He let out an unformed cry as he leaped to his feet and stumbled blindly through the rubble, trying to escape through the obstacles.

He realized his situation almost instantly, and was immediately driven to the brink of madness by fear, and was on the verge of a complete collapse.

"Sebastin! Sebastin! Calm down, calm down...... Damn it! Think of your daughter! Think Lily! ”

This person grabbed him in time, and it was very hard, and even Sebastian was not able to break free easily under the frantic struggle.

Sebastian was still struggling desperately in a frenzy, but after the man said the last keyword, he suddenly stopped, although his body was still shaking.

"Lily, Lily......"

"That's right! Lily, my daughter ......"

"Where is she? Where is she?! ”

"Calm down? If you really want to save your daughter...... Then you have to calm down. The military-uniformed woman with a ponytail frowned, then slowly let go of the hands that grabbed his arms.

“……”

“……”

Sebastian stared at her blankly for a long time, and only then did her eyes regain a little brightness and agility, and no longer seemed to be the symptoms of some dead people before they died, their eyes bulging and twisted, and full of horror.

"It's ...... Where is this? No, when is that? He said in a trembling voice, but his upper and lower teeth were fighting desperately.

"I don't know, the only thing that is certain is that it's over now......"

Torres took several deep breaths, and then she shivered.

"I don't know how long it was, but I woke up five or six minutes before you did...... You should understand that the previous thing can even destroy people's minds, which is much more terrifying than the phenomenon of "ghosting". ”

“……！！”

Sebastian, who had just calmed down a little, was suddenly awakened from her vague memory.

Thinking of the scene he saw at a hurried glance, his face suddenly turned pale again, and cold sweat crawled densely all over his forehead.

He also knew that the word "ghosting" was actually the name of a mutation that took place in the STEM world of Holly Town, and the only result of the researchers was to name it.

First the memory, then the cognition, all of which collapsed, and the inhabitants began to go berserk, and even if they tried to arrest and reset, there was no way to change the emergence and spread of this phenomenon.

It can be said that it is a phenomenon similar to infection, but it is not caused by viruses or germs, but it appears on the mental and spiritual levels.

From the beginning of the discovery to the large-scale spread and outbreak, the Mobius organization has not been able to study any way to deal with it, and even the cause cannot be truly determined, let alone targeted treatment.

So the inhabitants ended up basically all mutated and became those things.

When Sebastian was tracking down the clues of his daughter, he had also been searching for the secret documents of the Mobius organization, so he also learned some things about this.

But how can the phenomenon of "ghosting" be compared to the previous thing?!

It was the embodiment of the roaring chaos and grinning fear that lurked in the abyss, something indescribable!

To be honest, Sebastian shuddered and couldn't believe the fact that she was still alive and could think...... Or is he actually crazy?

Because he knew that he would never forget the scene he had seen before, and that it would be his nightmare for a long time, tormenting him forever at midnight—

Unknown beings crawled and struggled, tearing the earth apart and crawling through the dark ancient abyss.

It groped through earthquakes and storms, squeezing its huge, twisted body through the black cracks.

It was laughing wildly, or roaring wildly—at least as it sounded—with incredible force that made the whole world scream in fear and madness.

Until now, Sebastian's mind was full of vague horrors and terrifying scenes, some kind of creepy and memorable scenes.

Blazing shadows of crimson and sticky madness whistled and tore through the atmosphere, one after another huge tentacles bloated and ugly, and groundwater emerged and groped through cracks in the earth like polyps......

They chase and entangle each other, and under the thunder and lightning sky, it seems to be almost endless......

The twisted and chaotic monster's body seemed to be only partially material, and many parts seemed to be just an invisible shadow, almost like a forest of oak trees that had been overpropagated to the point of ugliness, with roots entwined like giant serpents......

Nightmarish form, amorphous body......

Sebastian could not remember or describe in detail, only a general idea and some of the most vivid and profound impressions.

Because he couldn't describe the sight, there was probably no language in the world to describe it, he only knew that he had seen a vague outline of something.

At that time, the town was constantly collapsing, and the earth was sinking incessantly. In the midst of a surging and terrifying cataclysm, he had no doubt that the chaos rising beneath the ancient abyss would fill the world......

Needless to say, it was a nightmare full of vivid fear and illusion!

"Damn it...... What the hell is that! ”

Sebastian shook his head vigorously, not daring to continue thinking about it, and he found that the more he thought about it, the more he felt a morbid madness, and his consciousness was gradually blurring.

This is an extremely dangerous sign, and it seems that even memory is something absolutely forbidden and cannot be recalled, otherwise something in the soul will be withdrawn.

"I don't know, I really don't know, I don't know anything......"

Torres replied, somewhat irritatedly.

"I'm sure it's also beyond what STEM originally envisioned...... We're going to get started now, and there's no time to discuss it here until we get the results! ”
