"So hungry." Nu Kai was really hungry. A series of fierce battles overdraw everyone's physical strength and spirit. Looking at the wreckage of the weird monster, I couldn't help but wonder if I could eat it.
If you eat it, will you get spiritual vision? See things you can't see?
"Wait a little longer, there will definitely be food." The blind swordsman hopes that everyone will continue to explore, rather than losing to the instinct of hunger.
I continued to go deeper into the island, and fog gradually appeared around me. The island always hides its true face in its own way.
After walking for a while, everyone found a dilapidated village in front of them.
There are many human-shaped trees in the village, but there are no residents.
When everyone walked into the village, they not only felt relieved, but they became even more strange. The dust-covered room still maintained its appearance decades ago, as if time had stopped here.
The villagers disappeared, but the villagers' things were still there. Although many things were corroded, some things were usable.
"There are fruit trees here." Are there any mutated fruit trees in the village?
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't have to eat monsters anymore.
"So where did the residents here go?" asked the blind swordsman.
Duran said: "It is necessary to investigate. Mysteries are the reasons why the investigators investigate. In fact, it is not surprising that the monsters on Pilgrim Island have been fusion since ancient times. They have not only been owned by the island state, but also in Dongda and even in the western countries. In the West, this kind of monster is called "Chimera", which is used to merge the bodies of different animals, such as taurens, living snake hair, etc. And have you heard of legends such as "Star Color", "Annihilation"?"
Dian Zuo said, "I have a simple mind, don't like reading, and I don't know these legends at all. Duran, you are so knowledgeable and know so many things. Just talk to us."
"I'll talk to you. In fact, the core of different legends is to merge different creatures into 'Chimera', lose human thinking and turn into wild beasts, or even plants." Duran said: "Let me talk about "Star Color", which suddenly appears a meteorite falling from the sky. The meteorite releases colorful light, and animals and plants within the range of light will become monsters. Innocent people have to work hard to survive in the range of the meteorite light, while also resisting their inner mutations and distortions, and eventually become monsters."
This is like a horror story. No matter how hard you try, you will eventually become a monster.
Mutation is completely majeure, just like fate's ruthless tricks on human beings, which is the power of external interference. No matter how human beings resist, they cannot resist external interference.
Human beings cannot resist the aging of time, the cycle of cause and effect, the unstoppable malice, the ubiquitous gravity, the external obstacles to their own ideals, and the ubiquitous oppression that the body is subjected to...
When these things are manifested, deified, and biological, there are ancient gods, gods outside gods...
Humans and external gods will be distorted at once when they look at each other. If they drink blood, they will be even more distorted after eating meat. There are also those that are directly distorted through the light, because the light is everywhere and cannot be hidden.
After listening to the story of "Star Color", everyone felt that it was similar to the situation on the island.
The blind swordsman said: "That is, the situation on the island is not an isolated case, but similar monster events have occurred in other places and at other times?"
"From the legend, similar monsters have appeared all over the world. The monsters have different shapes. Like the monsters on the island, they show very obvious Taoism and Buddhism." Duran said: "But not every country has Taoism and Buddhism. In places where there are no two religions, monsters naturally do not wear Buddhist beads or recite scriptures and scriptures. But foreign monsters look as weird, such as their eyes grow in their mouths, or their bodies. Or they are directly rotten, not like living creatures or dead. In short, all kinds of strange things highlight a disorder."
"I have encountered such monsters on the island, "I have encountered the same monster as you said, "It is indeed the same as you said, it is chaos and disorder. So why does this happen?"
"There are many reasons. When the simplest gods make peace with animals, the demigods born have the characteristics of humans and animals at the same time." Duran said: "Then it is because of his own will and his thoughts such as resentment to turn himself into a monster. Or more directly, through sacrifices, he can gain God's favor and superhuman power."
Everyone nodded repeatedly, there are indeed many similar stories in the mythical world.
"There is also the unknown energy I just mentioned, such as Star Color. I don't know the reason at all, it's mutation. I also know the reason, but it can't be controlled, such as microbial viruses, high-dimensional life experiments, etc."
"I can't understand." Dian Shu could barely keep up at the beginning, but later he became more and more confused.
"You can just understand high-dimensional life as God, which is what I said that you must rely on spiritual vision to see. It's like humans playing with ants, and these gods will play with humans. Humans will dismember ants and observe whether ants will move. God also likes to study humans like this."
When everyone heard this, they were chilling. They knew too much about human cruelty to weak people. Who had never tortured small insects and small animals when they were young? But if humans and small animals were exchanged in the same position, it would be terrifying.
Faced with absolutely powerful power, humans are as irresistible as insects and can only be tortured.
But this is God, and the collection of irresistible external forces is God. For insects, humans are God. For humans, the existence of human genes that can transform through eye contact is also God.
For example, the higher civilization in "Annihilation" uses high-tech refraction genes. It can also transform humans like ancient gods, and directly change genes by looking at each other.
That is a force that humans cannot understand. They decompose the human body, add some materials, and assemble it randomly. The monsters on the island include insects, fish, humans, birds, plants, insects, etc. Isn’t it just that gods are tortureing humans?
"We shouldn't have come up." The blind swordsman really regretted it.
"The fleet has sunk, we can't live without it." Dian Zuo said.
Duran said: "So I propose to continue investigating until the truth is investigated. No matter what kind of mutation is, we must record it and leave it to future generations. This is our investigator's obligation."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥Book⊥⊥⊥First⊥!
From death row prisoner, executioner changed his job to an investigator.
The story of Cthulhu cannot be without investigators. Investigators will gradually deepen and get closer to the truth, and finally have the opportunity to face the ancient gods.
"Maybe there is also a radiant meteorite on this island." said the blind swordsman: "The residents of the village have also become monsters because of the light."
After listening to Duran's analysis, everyone thought this was very reasonable. What happened on the island must have been triggered by a certain force.
Compared with ordinary investigators, warriors have more counterattack power, at least they can kill monsters. When investigators face monsters, they can only escape and hide, and their only weapons are willpower and rationality.
Unfortunately, the investigator's rationality will always decrease, and in the end it cannot resist and is contaminated by the spirit.
Duran thought that the monsters on the island lacked the ability to pollute the spirit, so the wizards could fight with high spirits. Especially after they knew the existence of "qi", they would immediately mobilize the qi in their bodies.
Those who can go to the island have polished their bodies to the point of producing qi, but they don’t know the theory of qi. Once the theory is completed, they will mobilize qi in a targeted manner and gain stronger combat power.
No matter how strong the enemy is, they have the possibility of confrontation. Unlike Cthulhu novels, when facing abnormalities, the investigator can only pray for God's blessing, and the result is that he will clear his reason and embrace the ancient god.
Creating the ugly "Chimera" mentally polluted the investigators, which is a common method for the ancient gods. Duran thought to himself that the two magic weapons in the Cthulhu story were more terrifying than physical monsters.
