Chapter 43: Descending the Mountain
When Lu Qing woke up again, he was surprised to find that he had appeared in the forest near the foot of the mountain.
Qing Shui and Li Zeyan had long since disappeared, and Lu Qing had a splitting headache, completely unaware of what was going on in between. Could it be that the space sent itself back?
He barely stood up, pinched his temples, and only felt that the whole person was spinning and confused, but pictures appeared in his mind very clearly. Lu Qing really couldn't describe these pictures in words, his dark pupils lost their brilliance, the indescribable things in his mind kept switching, the demon's whispers sounded in his head, and the old rulers who were far away from the world and dived into the earth and the ocean told Lu Qing their secrets through dreams.
Wrong!
If this is the case, judging from his current state, after seeing those terrible pictures and gaining insight into so many truths, he would have been unable to support his madness and even died.
Despite the splitting headache, Lu Qing's consciousness was still very clear. Soon, he realized something.
These images and messages were not what [it] let itself see, and from beginning to end, Lu Qing had never really come into contact with the ancient and fearsome old rulers.
This information is left to the space for itself.
Lu Qing's mind was very confused, and the huge and redundant information was really difficult for him, who knew nothing about the Cthulhu Mythos, to understand.
He wondered, why did the space choose himself? Whether it is Akai or Li Chenyin, these two people are more suitable than themselves.
Why does the space want to convey this information to itself, and is everything behind it related to the way of life?
Finally, why would space send itself down the mountain?
With such doubts, Lu Qing stumbled to his feet. He knew that the mission had come to an end, and I was afraid that this time, whether everyone could leave alive or not was the key to the information he had obtained in his mind.
He didn't know how long he walked, until he smelled blood in the forest and found Xu Rui's remains, as well as the notes he had left behind.
After reading all the contents of the notes, Lu Qing only felt that all the blood veins in his body had condensed and frozen into ice at this moment, the diary in his hand slipped to the ground, he squatted down in pain with his head in his hands, these complicated and cumbersome information kept looping in his brain like a slide, and the hall of information expanded instantly, making him feel that his brain was about to explode.
The value of human beings in the universe is meaningless, and all search for the mysterious unknown will lead to a catastrophic end.
"I see, my ending has already been written." After a long time, Lu Qing raised his head sweating profusely, and his whole face became pale and bloodless. Once he had calmed down, he stuffed the journal into his bag.
Lu Qing remembered what Chen Shuo had said at the end, if he could use his limited life to do something for others, it would be worth it.
"Brother Xu Zhen, Akai, wait...... I'm going to let you go safely......"
Lu Qing went down the mountain, he knew that this road was destined to go and never return.
At this time, in a deserted mansion in the town, a sneaky figure was cautiously walking out of the bedroom closet. He lay on the edge of the bed and observed the scene outside, and after making sure that there was no one, he breathed a sigh of relief and went downstairs.
"Damn, I didn't expect to have such a hand...... Call...... ...... "Liu Dequan gasped, and there were still large black blood stains on his face, clothes and pants.
It's just that the blood is not his, and when the previous mutation occurred, he used his usual means to push out the person closest to him as a substitute for the dead ghost, and he was lucky to save his life.
"Now that I think about it, that guy is really suspicious." Liu De leaned against the door with palpitations and began to recall what had happened before.
On the day Xu Rui fled to the mountains, they lost their last source of food. The enraged group returned empty-handed, intending to shift their target to the only remaining woman in the team, Ni Ya.
But who knew that this woman was not stupid, not long after Xu Rui left, she took advantage of the fact that no one was watching and took the opportunity to escape. In this way, she is just pretending to be sincere, and she is actually in the same league as the damn Xu Rui and Zhou Qiong.
When Lin Jie found out, he was furious, they had no choice but to continue to search for the traces of these two women in the town, even if the people were dead, even the wreckage.
I don't know if the two women were dragged into the lair by ghouls to nibble on, or if they had already run up the mountain, but they had been searching the town for days, and there was no sign of each other.
Seeing that it has been four days since the food was cut off, the emotions in everyone's eyes became more and more crazy, and Liu Dequan knew that it would be his turn soon. Among these four people, he is the oldest and the weakest, and he can't fight the other three young and vigorous young men at all.
If you still want to survive any longer, there is only one way - to replace the dead ghost.
"Boss, I thought about it for a while, and I think that there may be a clue to the way of life under the ground of that church, although it is dangerous, it is also worth our revisit." Liu Dequan said to Lin Jie: "Now there are only four of us left on this island, and it is not a way to spend it here, you have to take the initiative to attack." ”
His words reminded everyone of the previous experience, the extreme fear, the breath of death that penetrated into the blood of the bone marrow, even if it had been so long, as long as they recalled it, everyone could still feel that fear.
"Go again, I'm afraid no one will come back alive." Meng Yu frowned, and just wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Liu Dequan: "If you don't go, lie here and wait for death." Since this is already the case, simply go out and fight! What do you think, Boss? ”
Lin Jie's cold snake-like gaze looked around Liu Dequan, and he smiled for a long time: "It's okay." ”
He didn't know what the hell Liu Dequan was thinking in his heart, and the reason why he didn't poke the other party, but agreed to his proposal, was nothing more than that everyone had the same need: food.
Who lives and who dies depends on each person's own ability.
Meng Yu didn't say anything after realizing this. He didn't expect Liu Dequan to take the initiative to bring this up, but judging from the other party's situation, even if he died, he would die first. So, he also agreed to this request.
As for Yin Xiong, this man was like a mute from beginning to end, he rarely spoke unless necessary, and even after hearing such an important proposal, he only nodded in agreement.
The four of them, each pregnant with ghosts, set off like this, but in fact, none of them were interested in the statue that exuded a strange aura underground, and all they thought about was who would die first and become food.
After staying in this town for a month, the legal and moral constraints of human society have long been forgotten by them, coupled with the influence of a large number of evil mythical creatures in the town, their minds are now different from ordinary people, and only the most primitive instincts and desires are left in their minds - eating.
