It doesn't have to be something related to the Cthulhu Mythos to cause a loss of sanity.

In fact, witnessing death without psychological preparation, witnessing death that is too brutal, witnessing human hands and feet being cut off...... These bloody and cruel scenes can make normal people's SAN value drop wildly.

There are even rumors on the Internet that someone witnessed the murder and was so frightened that he fell into a coma for seven days and died...... Of course, whether it's true or not, this is an extreme case, but most normal people will definitely be frightened when they suddenly see the murder scene.

I need psychological counseling, I am too scared to go out, and I have nightmares at night......

- Can these be said to be the result of the indifference of sanity? Of course not.

In the same way, it is better to be hurt yourself, to be betrayed by someone you trust, to lose your social status, or even to just fall out of love...... Anyway, as long as it can challenge people's rationality and make people's behavior appear emotionally out of control.

Theoretically, these are all experiences that can cause the loss of SAN value.

It doesn't have to be a formal supernatural event, such as a haunter, zombie, vampire, werewolf, cursed, ...... And so on and so forth.

Therefore, it is no wonder that the four trainee investigators are so out of shape, they think that they and the others have been mentally prepared for a long time, but in fact they are not at all, and even the guns in their hands do not give them enough security.

After all, it's pitiful, they were really just four street gangsters who didn't enter the stream before! It belongs to the kind of slums that haunt the harsh environment, and the most common road goods.

Even after a certain amount of training, it can't change the fact that they have never seen blood, after all, in the past, the most they used to do was to fight each other in the streets and alleys with their same indecent kind, or break into the houses of those lonely old people to show off their "strong muscles".

It's not that guns haven't been touched before, after all, in such a random human beacon of life and freedom, death, it's very difficult not to touch a gun, but touching a gun doesn't mean that they have really seen blood.

Strictly speaking, they really haven't seen much of the world, let alone have any great courage and wisdom.

The reason why you can enter the interior of this ghostly swamp that is haunted by ghosts and local legends combined with local legends at night.

The reason is just that people are dying for money, and the guaranteed bonus of 100,000 US dollars, even if it is an annual salary, is already a very good income, they can earn it in just one night, and it is only a guarantee......

- What is this concept?!

They didn't know what it meant to be afraid, until they slowly descended deeper into the inner part of the Manchak swamp, followed the terrifying sounds, and finally saw an abomination ritual......

Therefore, in just a moment, they felt that they could not think about anything in their brains, and the chill of fear instantly overtook everything, and they almost fainted on the spot.

……

……

There was a natural clearing in that swamp, treeless and dry.

And a large crowd of people were jumping and writhing pathologically in that clearing, and it was an indescribable and horrible sight, especially with their incomparably frenzied jumping and howling.

Naked, with a constant neighing like a donkey and mooing like a bull, a large granite monolith sits in the center, and at the top is an evil statue that is a little too small to be proportionate.

As for the ten eagle frames that were erected, they were centered on a monolith surrounded by flames, and they were evenly distributed in a large circle. The nearby ground was strewn with blood and human remains, all too vividly illustrating the devastation left by the demonic fangs and claws.

That's right, on the top of each scaffold, there are also some corpses that have been strangely destroyed, which may be the main object of the recent disappearance......

Now it seems that the case can be solved, but the stumps of the corpse are hung on the scaffolding, and the other messy parts are sprinkled with blood, and the death is very miserable.

And within the circle of scaffolding, the madmen are engaged in an endless of indulgence.

But now, the revelry was interrupted by the intruders—

“……”

“……”

In the dead silence, the naked madmen all cast their eyes on them, without any expression or emotion.

The four of them who were out of breath suddenly felt a blank in their minds, as if they had been struck by thunder with a bang, and a cold air rushed up along their vertebrae, and they trembled at this terrible sight.

Their sanity betrayed themselves, and that was the last straw that overwhelmed their reason.

It's tragic!

It's bloody!

It's so cruel!

Just looking at it made them feel a violent physiological discomfort that made them want to vomit wildly, and their stomachs twitched in bursts, as if the dinner was so rich that there was a chemical reaction in the stomach.

If you and the others are caught by this group of crazy people, will they be hung up after a while and become an air-dried sausage?

Bang!

Bang! Bang bang bang!!

Under the excessive fear, the black young man finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he yelled wildly, although the madmen on the other side had not yet attacked, the crazy investigator could no longer judge calmly.

It's just that the three-day quick marksmanship of the emergency training is too scummy, and the unstable mood also hinders his aiming, so the bullets almost all of them shot into the air, and swept past the naked cultists without damage.

But the huge gunshot still broke the fragile balance, and the madmen seemed to wake up all at once, screaming hysterically, and rushing up in a frenzy, crazy as if they had smelled bloody zombies.

No one will doubt that once they are caught, they will definitely be torn apart alive!!

"Running ——!!"

The tattooed young man's face changed greatly, and he subconsciously raised the firearm in his hand and fired, but after only a few shots, his arms trembled and his calves became weak.

Run! Gotta run!

Otherwise, with their weak firepower, such rookie marksmanship will not be able to kill a few fanatical cultists at all, and they will be torn alive by other madmen who swarm in!

From shooting with a gun, to scattering and fleeing-

The transition between the two states only took more than two seconds and less than three seconds, and the four of them turned around extremely resolutely, and ran wildly with their legs frantically scattered, not knowing whether it was an explosion of potential or special practice, or stimulant or something in advance.

The speed that erupted in that instant was definitely able to make people stunned...... How do you say that? You don't need to outrun the enemy, you just need to run faster than your companions.

Or maybe that's what all four of them think at the moment, and they have already begun to appreciate the true meaning of "friend". It's a pity that they are all full of milk, and none of them are obviously backward......

But what's even more terrifying is that the madman cultists who roared behind them to catch up don't look like people anymore.

They were even more like creatures that were unusually familiar with the swamp forest, as if they were some kind of strange species, using their limbs together, and rushing forward with great agility and agility—

This made the four of them hurriedly glance back, and in an instant, the souls of the dead were all gone, and they shouted even more fear.

This horrific sight used to be seen only on some movie screens, but now it is happening to them, and they feel that they are literally almost scared to death.

Bang!

Bang! Bang!

The four trainee investigators frantically waved the guns in their hands, and from time to time fired a few strange shots that seemed to be nerve knives, and the gods didn't know where the bullets flew, and they couldn't confirm whether they had hit a terrible fanatical cult madman.

And even if every shot they fired was like a divine help, they could hit an enemy with unmistakable accuracy, there were too many on the other side.

In the midst of this twisted terror, they could only roar in despair and run forward desperately! Rush in a panic!

Running and running, running and running, even if the legs became heavier and heavier, as if they were filled with lead, and even if the lungs were getting hotter and hotter, as if there was a flame burning in them......

But there is no way, if they don't want to die, they can only scream in fear and madness, and run as hard as they can in despair.

At this time, even regret rose in my heart, or cursed the damned keeper and the organization behind it...... I don't have that time and mood at all.

And just when they were almost unable to run, desperate enough to stop and fight the tireless humanoid monsters behind them.

But I heard a shrill hiss over the trees, and the faint sound of giant wings flapping!

What kind of monster is this! They were all messy.

But at this moment, the sound of a helicopter propeller was suddenly heard in the distance, and the whirring wind was violent, blowing through the entire pitch-black woods.

Bang bang bang –

Immediately after, the sound of violent gunfire instantly resounded all around, about a strong aviation machine gun suddenly fired, brilliant tongues of fire, violent metal streams, bullets intertwined into a web of death across the area.

A sharp scream rang out, black blood splattered, and the muffled thud was endless, as if something heavy and huge had suddenly fallen from the sky and smashed into the trees!

The cultists, who were as crazy as the strange species, also screamed and fled in all directions.

As for the four investigators who were stunned at once, they could all feel the slight tremor coming from under their feet.

"This ...... What's going on with this TM? ”

"Whatever! We are saved! Come on! Get out of here."

"Nope! Can't leave, this is an opportunity, let's go back and take that statue away......"

……

……

"This is Night Stalker One! Repeat, this is Night Stalker One! ”

"The target has been identified and there is an exchange of fire...... They ran away! ”

"Understood, we will send a team to recover the sample ......"

More than a dozen helicopter gunships hovered steadily in mid-air, and the crew scanned the messy forest in front of them, and then reported the results to their superiors.

They felt that their confidence was greatly boosted, and the uneasiness before the action completely subsided, and their firepower could really repel and kill those mysterious creatures, they could only be slaughtered by themselves!

What else is there to be afraid of?

What else can stop yourself!?

The rope ladder tumbled and unfurled, and two GIs from each of the gunships descended quickly, quickly consolidating on the ground, and then slowly pressing towards the messy forest ahead.
