Chapter 378: Frog God Messenger
Behind the stone gate is a stone room. According to Jung's calculations, it should not have reached the depth of the water, but the condition in the room was not like this. The floor of the stone chamber is half small, and to be precise, the semi-circular stone floor with the door as the center is open for people to stand on.
Although there was a layer of stagnant water on the slate, it was much better than the murky waters outside the semicircle. That's right, most of the area in the stone chamber has no floor at all, and instead there is a body of water that doesn't know how deep it is and where it leads. It seems that the so-called advent is not accurate, and the messenger of the frog god should have floated here.
There is a threshold under the stone door, which is used to prevent the water in the room from pouring into the corridor, and you can see that the water level in the room is slightly higher than the corridor when comparing the water level inside and outside the door.
But that's not the problem, the real problem is that depending on the degree of fluctuation of the water surface in the stone chamber, most of the water in it is connected to the outside water system, in other words, flowing water. Having a vampire step their foot into running water is tantamount to having an ordinary person stand on a pegboard, and the fear of not knowing when it will trigger catastrophic consequences is enough to instinctively resist most consciousness. This is not something that can be easily resolved.
"Brother Kraft, please come in. The messenger is coming. The strange-looking frog-like priest spoke again, but did not hesitate to respond, apparently not uncommon among the many who had seen the messenger of the frog god. Of course, this priest must not have imagined that the believer in front of him at this time was not uneasy about the unknown, but was considering whether to directly rip his throat here.
After some psychological consideration, Jung still gave up the idea of tearing his face immediately, although the appearance of this priest is very revealing, but he can certainly not know as many things as amphibians, and when there is a better choice, the impact of flowing water is not completely unbearable. Thinking so, his face showed an expression of determination as if he had made up his mind, and he stepped into the stone chamber. Behind him, the stone door closed slowly.
"Whew!" The stone chamber was illuminated not by glowing moss, but by oil lamps that had long been placed in the cracks in the walls. Several leads connect them from the gaps in the wall, allowing people to light the lamp from the outside. However, the lighting level of these oil lamps has obviously been carefully adjusted, and although they can illuminate the surrounding walls, making people feel that they are in a stone room, they cannot actually illuminate the central area of the room.
On the contrary, the brightness of the surroundings sets off the darkness in the center even more, and if a normal person is locked up in this room, his eyes may lose their judgment of the dark area to a great extent in this contrast.
This trick is not intended to add to the mystery, but to Jung's view, it is more like protecting the pilgrims standing here, because darkness is sometimes a tenderness that does not allow people to see what they cannot accept. The thing had arrived, and he could feel it, through the cool stream of water beneath his feet, something had entered from beneath the stone chamber. The Bloodclan adjusted his state, and he didn't want to scare the other party.
"Grunt" bubbles emerge from the bottom of the water and burst on the surface of the water. Something was slowly rising from the bottom of the water in the dim space. Vampires are a race that belongs to the night, they walk in the night and move in the night, so they naturally have the ability to see in the absence of light or low light.
Jung watched clearly as the human-sized frog-like creature emerged from the water in a strange posture and stood on the water. said that she was weird because this creature obviously had the head structure of a frog, but it had a human-like torso and limbs, especially the plural similar things hanging on the torso, which were grotesque and uncomfortable.
That's why she was used to describe the creature, the messenger of the frog god who came from the water, and had a very similar image of the mother goddess in the worship of motherhood. But this image does not mean eroticism, on the contrary, her appearance can only make people feel frightened from any point of view. After all, frogs are oviparous animals, and a frog-like creature with the mammalian organs of a viviparous animal is unnatural no matter how you think about it.
"Hello, devout believers. A soft female voice sounded from the darkness, not resembling her appearance in the slightest. Like the priest, she did not open her mouth when she spoke, but directly through her throat.
"Happy to you too, dear lady. I am terrified to thank the Frog God for the gift of a noble messenger like you to have time to communicate with a humble person like me. Jung said in a tone that contained crampedness, anxiety, and a hint of fear and excitement. Even the expression on his face was vivid, and he couldn't be sure what senses the other party used to perceive the world, so he didn't dare to be the slightest slack in his performance. Having said that, playing Kraft was a no-brainer for Jung, and his extensive life track record was enough to make him a good actor.
"It doesn't have to be this way, my brother. You and I are both attendants of the frog god, bathed in His glory, I just stepped into the river before you, and sooner or later, you will be like me. ”
Hopefully that day never comes. Jung rebuked himself inwardly, but only inwardly, "I am encouraged by your relief, dear lady. The frog god saved me and gave me back the motivation to live. I should have been content with what I have now, but greed makes me want more wisdom from Him, please forgive me for my selfishness, please forgive me. ”
"It's not your fault, brother, we're all hungry for more. That's because we all have defects in our hearts, and this world has created them. The great frog god generously gave himself to fill the void in our hearts. That's why we are going to give everything to serve Him, who is the salvation of this world, the salvation of all of us. "The feminine voice has a mesmerizing magic, and the gentle voice envelops a person like soft cotton wool. Even Jung was confused for a moment in these words, and he faintly felt that something had been touched in his heart, but unfortunately, his heart had already stopped beating.
"You are right, He is our salvation. He redeemed me once, so maybe He can redeem me a second time. Jung's voice gradually deepened, and he lowered his head so that no one could see the reddened eyes. It's not that the vampire is impatient, but with the presence of the Frog God Emissary, the water in the room becomes more and more active, and the feeling of walking on thin ice makes him irrepressibly excited. What a mistake, I knew that the other party was a believer in the frog god, and the ritual must be related to water, so why not wait for enough preparations?
"Brother Kraft, are you alright?" the frog god's attendant noticed the strangeness, but failed to detect the danger behind the abnormality. She even took two steps closer, hoping to find out what Jung didn't have.
"Thank you, I, very good. ”
