On the vast metal land, a nondescript village stands alone.

The village is made up of eerie metal buildings, the silhouettes of which are integrated with the ground, making it look like metal earth...... Stretch to a part above the surface!

At this moment, in the small square in the center of the village, hundreds of villagers are huddled together tremblingly, like a flock of lambs waiting for judgment......

And in the corner of the square, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old was watching everything coldly.

The young man has black hair and black eyes, his eyes are smart, and his delicate face has obvious oriental characteristics, which is in stark contrast to the cloudy eyes of the villagers around him.

"Trembling and waiting for the judgment of the Empire? It has been the seventeenth year since I came into this world. The situation in the village is the same every year, and I don't know how many people will die this time. Chu Cheng's black jade-like eyes swept over the people in the small square, and his eyes were full of helplessness and sadness. He no longer looked at the shivering villagers, but looked far away, looking into the distance.

In an instant, the low pitch-black sky above his head and the vast metal earth under his feet occupied his entire field of vision!

Although there was no light source such as the sun at the zenith, there were countless glowing clusters of light flickering on the bright silver metal earth, and these points of light were arranged geometrically, reflecting the world as far as the eye could see.

Chu Cheng knew that these light clusters were the lighting system that came with the surface of the ancient ruins, and they would be turned on and off periodically. Once closed, it heralds the arrival of 'dark night'.

With the help of the light source on the surface of the ruins, Chu Cheng could barely see the huge silhouette of the shadow in the distance!

Countless towering metal mountains undulated, and the mountain-like super-giant machinery towered into the sky, its silhouette stretched to the end of the sky, where the eye could not reach!

"This world is incredible!" Chu Cheng muttered in a low voice, a fanatical light flashing faintly in his eyes. He knew that what he saw at the moment was only the tip of the iceberg in the world of ruins!

The world that Chu Cheng is in now is made up of boundless metal relics.

The ruins are incredibly large, with the proven parts of the ruins exceeding tens of billions of kilometers in diameter, and the unexplored parts being even more vast and endless!

Ordinary people may not have a concept of what tens of billions of kilometers represent, but Chu Cheng, as a traverser, is very clear.

You must know that the diameter of Chu Cheng's solar system in his previous life was only more than 10 billion kilometers! It can be seen from this that the scale of the ruins of the ancient era, which is measured in tens of billions of kilometers, is so huge and terrifying!

"I wonder how this miraculous ruins were built in the first place. At least with the technology of the earth in my previous life, I can't understand all this! Chu Cheng retracted his gaze, his clear eyes were confused for a moment, "I don't know, the person I've been looking for, she...... Is it not in this world? ”

Thinking of that person, Chu Cheng's thoughts suddenly turned into misty smoke, and the whole person couldn't help but fall into deep memories.

Chu Cheng in his previous life was a noble young master from a middle-class family. After the early death of his parents, he inherited a large inheritance at a young age. Although the family business is gradually declining, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the wealth inherited by Chu Cheng is still enough for him to squander his life.

What others are looking for, Chu Cheng has at his fingertips. But he soon discovered that no amount of wealth could be exchanged for the lost family affection......

At this moment, he is already alone!

In order to fill the gap in family affection, Chu Cheng began to try various adventures frantically. from Shennongjia in Hubei to Lop Nur in Xinjiang; From Death Valley in Russia to the Aokigahara Suicide Forest in Japan; From the Antarctic No Man's Land to the Bermuda Triangle.

The more dangerous and mysterious the place, the more willing Chu Cheng became, as if only the morbid pursuit of excitement and the unknown could make him forget the pain accumulated in his heart for a while.

Chu Cheng originally thought that he would continue to paralyze himself like this until he died on a certain expedition. This thought continued for several years, until ...... He met her!

The encounter with her seemed to be fate. It was Chu Cheng's first time climbing Mount Everest, and she was standing on the summit of Mount Everest, her long red hair swaying in the wind......

She looked down at Chu Cheng, just as she looked down at the whole world behind Chu Cheng. Her expression is ethereal and solemn, like a goddess who has fallen into the mortal world and Pudu turbidity!

This kind of beauty should not exist in the world!

It's so beautiful that people can't have the slightest evil thought, and it will only be dwarfed!

At the first glance of her, Chu Cheng had a strong premonition that this woman named "Wei" would become the most important turning point in his life.

And it is!

Wei, like a window, let him learn to appreciate...... Instead of hating the world!

In the following years, Chu Cheng no longer pursued excitement, but traveled with Wei to the famous mountains and rivers of the world.

They make friends together and have fun together. And in the dead of night, Yui, who is like a goddess in front of people, will curl up like a kitten and bury her head deep in his arms, as if she wants to forget everything and only enjoy this moment of peace.

And this is precisely Chu Cheng's happiest moment.

Chu Cheng knew what Wei had been looking for, but he had never asked, he had such a natural tacit understanding with her......

Sometimes, all you need is companionship!

Chu Cheng thought that the story of him and Wei would continue like this.

Until one day, only ...... Gone!

It's not a goodbye, it's a real disappearance!

Chu Cheng asked all his friends, but these people were all ...... All of them have lost their memories related to Yui. Even all the traces that only existed have disappeared with it!

It's like, only ...... It never existed!

In the whole world, only Chu Cheng is left in the memory!

"Chu Cheng, give up! There is no such person at all, everything is your own fantasy! If you keep going like this, you're going crazy! The psychiatrist has warned Chu Cheng more than once.

But Chu Cheng didn't give up, only he knew, only ...... It's real!

Chu Cheng revisited the places where he and Wei had been, looking for even a trace of proof that Wei had ever existed.

After several years of wandering, Chu Chenggui returned to the summit of Mount Everest, back to the place where he first met Wei.

There, he found a ring!

A ring he knows all too well!

A ring that you can always wear and never leave your body!

At that moment, Chu Cheng cried with joy while holding the ring, crying like a child.

Now that the existence of Yui has been proven, everything that follows is logical.

To be able to make a person completely disappear from the world, and even the traces of cause and effect of their existence can be erased, such a thing can only be done by supernatural forces.

In the past expeditions, Chu Cheng had also encountered the mysterious side power more than once, and he almost immediately came to the conclusion that Wei's disappearance was definitely related to the mysterious side power.

In order to find Wei, Chu Cheng decided to return to his old business. He used his parents' belongings to buy advanced equipment and equipment, joined a famous occult expedition team, and began to search for various ruins and legends related to the mystical powers.

Maybe he has a fanaticism for mystery and the unknown in his bones, or maybe his longing for Yui makes him forget about life. In the following years, Chu Cheng constantly wandered on the edge of life and death! But it's also strange to say, since he brought Yui's ring, Chu Cheng felt that his luck was a little abnormal, as if he had a wave of luck...... Sheltering him in the dark, he survived several mortal situations.

This situation continued until Chu Cheng accidentally encountered that organization during an adventure!

It is a mysterious organization responsible for the containment and containment of mysterious individuals and anomalies. In normal human society, there are almost no traces of its existence.

In the organization's own words, to ensure that most people live in a well-ordered known world, someone must appease the unknown in the absurd!

To this day, Chu Cheng still clearly remembers the name of this organization - Huaya Heavy Industry!

Chu Cheng didn't know why such a mysterious organization would have such a name similar to that of a company, but he knew that there must be an untold story behind it.

Under various coincidences, Chu Cheng joined Huaya Heavy Industry and became a member of his task force.

After this, Chu Cheng experienced countless dangers, but under the protection of that luck, Chu Cheng survived every time and eventually became one of the captains of the task force.

After being promoted to captain, Chu Cheng finally had access to high-level secrets, and he found that Huaya Heavy Industries would send a task force to a mysterious place every once in a while, and after that, everyone would forget about the existence of this task force.

It's not just that it's as simple as forgetting, but even the traces of the existence of these task forces have disappeared, as if they ...... It never existed.

And this is exactly the same way that Yui disappeared!

The heartstring that Chu Cheng buried in the deepest part of his heart was pulled in an instant! After several twists and turns, he finally won a place to explore that place and obtained information about that mysterious place.

That place, its name......

Tomb of Azathoth!
