Chapter 196: An Hour of Walking, a Whole Week Around the World

The old purple-robed priest who maintained his human form led Chen Qiang and his party of four "people" (one ancient one and one young old ruler) as they walked through the long underground alleyway.

The dark underground passages are unlit. The monocle that Helena gave to Chen Qiang came with night vision, while Cecilu silently put on the night vision device.

"Is this what you dug up?" Chen Qiang asked, noticing that the inner wall of the "mine road" was extremely flat, as if it had been cut flat by a knife.

"In the past, the owners of these passages were not us," the old priest touched his chin, "but the clan of Hud Meier. ”

[Ceci Luc Cthulhu Mythos Test Failed 88/10]

"Who is Hud Meier?" Cecilu said confusedly.

[Ancient Poetry Sound Cthulhu Mythos Test 96/35 Major Failure]

"I know him," Gu Shiyin, who loves games, accidentally crossed the stage, "Sid Meier is the producer of the "Civilization" series of strategy games. Well, you know, it's the ...... of 'one more round'."

"It's a human being. We're obviously not talking about humans," Chen Qiang covered his face, he had always been automatically successful in this kind of verification of the list of common evil gods, "Shude Mel, the Lord of the Earthquake, is the leader of the Ground-Drilling Demon Worm Clan. ”

【Ceci Lucthulhu Mythos Test 3/10 Success】

"Drill Demon Worm ......," Ceci Lu showed a look of disgust.

The Driller was one of the most abominable monsters she'd ever seen. The ground-dwelling creature was as sticky as a reptile, its body was covered with groping tentacles, and the rocks were like cream in front of it. Fortunately, the Ground Drill Worm has the Achilles heel of "fear of water".

Even the air in the passage seemed to cool down again, deep into the bone marrow.

"More than a hundred years ago, the Drill Worm clan controlled some powerful Dongying people here, coerced and lured them to open mines here, and gave them regular food and sacrifices," the ghoul elder said leisurely, "Later, the matter was revealed, and even the mine owner himself became a delicacy for the Drill Worm." ”

"Sounds like a tragic story." Chen Qiang said.

It is said that the ruler of the Drill Worm Clan, the Old Dominator, was imprisoned in the African city of Gha'Γ©n along with his most powerful compatriots, but there are also settings that indicate that the great Hud Mel has long since escaped from his captivity, roaming the Earth with his kind, and even establishing a new settlement close to the core.

"For the Drillers, only the hatchlings and homeless exiles who have been swept out of the ground by the occasional magma eruption will use these passages close to the surface," said the Ghoul Elder, "and when the Drillers who have carved the tunnels return to the depths of the mantle, they will be requisitioned by us Eaters. ”

The crowd moved on. At some point, the environment of the road began to change slightly, and the stone walls on both sides became potholes and the ground became uneven.

"That one named Schod Meier doesn't have a problem with that?" Cecilu is still accustomed to using human thinking patterns to speculate on the intentions of the old rulers. This passage is the property of the Drill Worm Clan, right?

"Rocks and earth are to Drillers what air is to humans. If you're the leader of a nation, would you jump in a hurry because Mi Goe took some air samples on the border of your country? The Ghoul Elder asked rhetorically.

"......" is so reasonable that it cannot be refuted.

"But they do occasionally come up on a whim to breathe," the ghoul elder said calmly, "well, that's not what we're going to talk about. We Eaters have requisitioned many underground passages, including natural caves, abandoned mines, and ...... in addition to the city we built under the cemetery Some of the city's underground waterways. ”

"What do you want the sewers to do?" Ceci Lu blurted out.

"I'm afraid," Chen Qiang whispered, "because of the convenient transportation." ”

"...... accessible?"

"They say they have a way to take us secretly to Arkham. I'm afraid, that method is ......"

The ghoul elder tapped his staff on a large rock. There is no echo.

"Our Skeleton Eaters have an underground transportation network all over the world," he said proudly, "and the great Mordicki dwells in the Dreamland, and with the Dreamscape as a transit point, we Skeleton Eaters can connect any two underground passages on Earth. It is a distance of 10,000 miles and only an hour's walk to us. ”

A dream is a space that is parallel to the real world. As a world dominated by the subconscious and imagination, the physical laws of dreams are very different from the real world.

"Really?" Cecilu was skeptical.

"You can witness it yourself." The elder said calmly.

The crowd turned a corner.

The bumpy and difficult underground passage has changed abruptly again. There was an eerie stench in the air, and the ground had turned into man-made bricks.

"If you want to cover your nose, you can cover it." Chen Qiang glanced at Mao Mei who reached out to pinch her nose next to her, but stopped halfway.

Gu Shiyin and Kehira, on the other hand, were not impressed by the sudden change in the environment.

"This kind of work environment is common to me!" Cecilu was reluctant to admit that she hated the smell of the sewer.

"Okay, okay......"

At this time, the appearance of the underground tunnel has been completely transformed into an urban sewer. The elder led the crowd to a ladder.

"We're here," the elder said, patting the ladder on it, "the ladder is a little broken, be careful when you go up." ”

Cecilu looked at his silver mask.

"I'm the first," Mao Mei said bravely, "Boss, you wait in the back." ”

She climbed the ladder first, and I don't know if it was because she was loyal to her duty, or because she simply wanted to escape from this stinking place.

[Cessie Lu's climbing test 44/65 success]

Normal ladders don't need to be climbed, but at the moment this one is probably in disrepair, and even the agile Ceci is wobbly on it.

……

Ground.

In the city of New York at night, in an inconspicuous corner.

The blonde hairy girl ripped open the manhole cover at the end of the alley and slowly poked her head out.

It's afternoon, but here the lonely moon hangs high.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

In the distance, you can see the seaside.

Cecilu silently took out her mobile phone, confirmed the location shown by the GPS in New York City, and then silently closed the manhole cover and returned to Chen Qiang and the others.

"How?" Chen Qiang asked. He didn't want to climb up the mysterious iron ladder when he looked at it, what if he fell down?

Cecilu nodded silently.

"We're in New York, boss." She said.

In less than 30 minutes, they crossed the morning and dusk lines, crossing the Pacific Ocean and the American continent.

Around the globe in an hour.

It turns out that these unremarkable ghouls still hide this kind of treasure - Green Delta has been working with moderate ghouls for so many years, and Cecilu thought, she has never seen them so generous......

"Among our Skeleton Eaters," the elder said cheerfully, "only priests and elites can use this 'Dream Passage'. Now, I'm opening it up to the entire staff of the 'Fortress of Sanity'. If you ask, we can send you to Boston, near Arkham, or anywhere else in the country. When you're done in Arkham, the network will still be open to you. ”
