"Why...... Father!? I think this kind of thing, we have the right to know! ”

Harriman was shocked and angry, he had already reached this point, this old guy was still going to sell off.

"Why? Because...... It's our family's rule, Harriman! Brewster sighed and said, "You don't understand what secrets are hidden in our bloodline, you must get to the truth yourself!" ”

"But ......"

"No, but! Harriman, you are my son, and you must remember what the surname Murphy represents! ”

The old man interrupted Harriman in a deep voice, and he looked around at his four children, took several deep breaths, and the green tendons on his temples burst out and bloomed faintly, and his hands were clenched into fists on the table.

The four children all saw it clearly, and at the same time faintly felt that there might be a greater hidden secret, and at the same time it was unreasonable, and at the same time a strange thought arose...... It seems that this old man is there to protect himself and others?

They don't know why, but at this moment they clearly captured their father's demeanor, which was a kind of anger, remorse, fear, and sorrow...... and so on.

And for no reason, the four of them were sure that they had read their old father at this moment, and of course they didn't think there was anything abnormal about it.

They just "chuckled" in their hearts, and quickly remembered that their father suddenly fell unconscious before, and the same was true of many people in charge of ancient families who had made friends, as well as the phenomenon of a large number of people from all walks of life collectively unconscious.

If this situation is irrelevant, then probably only a fool would believe such a statement.

And the number of people involved is close to 1,000, and his father is one of the most powerful small groups of people, and more importantly, ...... He was one of the very few people who managed to wake up and survive.

INTERVIEWER Now that it seems that maybe this phenomenon has something to do with family secrets?

Is it such a dangerous uncharted territory? Even Harriman suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but want to retreat.

"I should have been more decisive in the first place, and I shouldn't have listened to those people, but not only did I fail, but I also affected you......"

At this time, Brewster didn't know what he was thinking, he closed his eyes, bit his lip in pain, and his tone trembled with a sense of extreme sadness-

"Although it is a rule, the family can only have one heir, but our bloodline should be able to ensure our safety in the Dream Realm of the Old Gods...... But you almost all died in it last night, which means that the punishment has come. ”

Old Gods Dream? What do you mean, that horrible nightmare that you and others had last night?

And what is the reason for the punishment? Could it be that my father did something wrong and caused such a bad result...... No, it seems that he is not the only one who has made the wrong choice, but a large part of the population has done so.

As a result, it was directly cleansed by what terrifying force, that is, the mysterious phenomenon of nearly a thousand people falling into a large-scale coma and falling into a vegetative state?

It is said that those people died in a terrible state, as if the horrors encountered in the nightmare were reflected in reality, and inexplicably there were lacerations on their bodies, or they were corroded or even the whole body was eaten......

In an instant, those terrible things were associated with the keyword "nightmare", and the faces of the four of them changed at the same time, and they always felt that they were still alive now, and they were really thankful that they could wake up again.

What the hell is that scary thing?

Could it be, the so-called ...... Old gods?

With just a few keywords, everyone quickly connected some of the fragmented clues they had mastered during this period of time, and they all felt as if they had smelled some kind of ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

It's the sense of gravity that comes with a long history, as well as a sense of vicissitudes and mystery, a secret that runs through their family heritage...... And not only vicissitudes and mysteries, but also horror and madness.

Just when everyone was thinking about it, the old man had already continued in a sad tone-

"The family can only have one heir, which is actually a responsibility and a kind of protection...... At least one person can come into contact with the dreams of the Old Gods, so that the others don't need to get close to the truth and don't need to be harmed. ”

“……”

“……”

Everyone looked at each other at first, and then digested the general meaning of this passage.

Then, in a strange silence, Harriman's expression suddenly became more exciting, and this sentence sounded a little wrong.

Shouldn't inheriting a family be an honorable thing? The power is in hand, the direction is in control, everything is up to you, and everyone must act according to their own faces...... This is what he imagined the style of painting should look like!

How do you listen to my father's statement, the so-called heir is more like a "sacrifice" in a certain sense that has been chosen, because by sacrificing one person, you can protect others?

So what were you doing when you worked so hard before? Is it simply sacrificing oneself for others?!

Not only him, but the other two candidates who intend to run for election are also green-faced, daring to love this so-called inheritance of the family business, but let people take the initiative to jump into the fire pit!

Although they still don't know what is going on, but relying on their brains and conjectures, even those who have guessed basically feel that they have a rough idea - the so-called family secret is actually very likely to be a fatal thing, involving the dreams of some ancient gods......

I don't know what the concept of that ancient god is, but it doesn't seem to be a good thing, judging from the nightmares that I and others had, and the phenomenon of those unlucky vegetative people dying in nightmares, I know that it should be some kind of crazy truth......

And it seems that not only his own family, but also several ancient families.

But it makes sense to think about it this way, because it is said that everyone has been friends for generations, and they started almost at the same time...... If it is said that the ancestors of each family had some common opportunity, they seized the opportunity to rise together.

It seems to be a very normal thing.

In fact, this is indeed the case, but this so-called common opportunity is only because in the 10th century A.D., the prophet James was a missionary in Constantinople and formed a bond with the Western church and the aristocracy.

In order to hunt down the prophets and destroy their faith, the Western Church and the aristocracy created an organization called the Holy Trinity.

It's just that after thousands of years, history has been changing, and the original Western Church and the aristocracy of Constantinople have long been swept into the pile of old papers, but the killing machine they built together at that time has been preserved in turmoil again and again.

And it has become a terrifying behemoth, with tentacles involving all levels of society, and it has also allowed the controllers at that time to seize the opportunity to use this power to push their families to the top.

- Until now.

It's just that this secret will never be known by more people, and it will even be transformed into another form directly...... The so-called truth.

"What do you mean by a sacrifice?! If you inherit the family, you will naturally have to take responsibility...... "Rupert maintained his character very well, and immediately shouted, but the old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"Father...... Can you elaborate on that? Harriman gritted his teeth and asked, he was really unwilling to give up like this.

"Sir, I also think it's better to tell the young master and them directly......"

At this time, the old butler also spoke slowly-

"Because they've all been in a dream, and they can't escape whether they want to or not...... Or, that's the punishment. ”

It was good that the old butler didn't speak, but after he spoke, Harriman's expression froze for a moment, and became more exciting, and the other people also turned green.

Wait, wait! What does it mean to always be inescapable?

Dare to love himself and others actually have no choice at all, even Harriman was thinking about taking a look at the situation first, and if the signs were wrong, he would retreat decisively, and don't really lose his own life.

There is nothing wrong with Ye Gong Haolong, even if he felt that a superior person like him before should have a more exciting life, so as long as there is hope to open the extraordinary door, he will enter it at all costs.

But his brain was hot and he was excited, and now he felt that he had calmed down, and he had passed through the indescribable darkness and ugliness of the nightmare......

Coupled with the fact that the old guy said it so seriously, Harriman suddenly felt that he could consider slowly trying to figure it out, if one way was not safe, he could choose a safer way, and a superior person like himself was no cheaper than those poor ghosts, and he couldn't take risks easily.

But now, it seems, reality is ready to slap him again.

Brewster closed his eyes slightly, his expression sad, and after a few seconds he nodded slowly:

"Yes, you've all entered the dreams of the ancient gods, and it's impossible to escape......"

“……”

“……”

Ignoring the sudden change in expression, the old man let out a long sigh, as if he had accepted his fate: "I originally wanted to protect you as much as possible, but it seems that it will not work, and that curse will not let go of our family's ......"

"Father, the curse...... What exactly is the essence? David asked with difficulty, feeling his scalp tingle.

When a normal person encounters such a thing, his first reaction should be to deny and disbelieve.

But after the nightmare of last night, fear was still etched in his soul. And he also knew that it was impossible for his father to play any pranks with these people at the family level.

"I don't know, but even the 'Old God' is just a name handed down from our ancestors, and it is said that it is an indescribably powerful power, a relic from an extremely distant era......

Brewster shook his head and said with a pale expression.

"You should have seen that deep beneath our ancestral home is the gateway to some unspeakable, unbelievable power...... Our ancestors did their best to excavate and restore the long-buried secrets of this land based on some terrible legends......"

"Eventually, they found the ancient evil ...... beneath the lowest foundation, in the salt-soaked rock formations."

At this, the old man paused, then lowered his head, and his deep voice seemed to be some kind of whisper—

"This is the secret of the rise of our Murphy family, and therefore the bloodline of our entire family has been plunged into the realm of death and madness, and has been entangled by the shadow of nightmares for generations......"
