Apostle of Cthulhu

Chapter 36 Royal Library

According to Anglison's information, Si Wei came to the old farm of Pansy's family.

The heavy rain clung to the dim sky, reluctantly parting with it. The whole farm was shrouded in depression and gloom. The broken walls and twisted buildings did not look like the products of this world at all, and were completely contrary to the beauty of this world.

But Si Wei seemed to appreciate these products that were different from the world from the bottom of his heart.

Holding an umbrella, Si Wei crossed the almost broken wire mesh outside the farm alone, stepped on the soft and muddy soil, and felt a strange breath.

This breath was very strange, Si Wei should have never caught it, but it gave him a rather strange familiar feeling. Everything in front of him also had a sense of déjà vu. Time seemed to have produced a wrong change of reincarnation. He was moving forward, but also seemed to be moving backward, and he never got tired of it.

He was very calm, without any uneasy emotions and fears entangled in his heart. Si Wei listened quietly to the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella. The handle and ribs of the umbrella underwent indescribable changes, were given life, and quietly twisted in the peripheral vision of Si Wei.

All this was too weird.

The distance between the main farm and Si Wei had never changed. Whether Si Wei was moving forward or backward, the ending was the same: standing still.

Ring~~~~

The sound of the bell and the wind mixed together to form a strange melody, which was gently sent into Si Wei's ears, soothing the restlessness and fear of the non-existent, and at the same time evoking the deeper things in the heart of the existent.

Hua——Hua——

This is the sound of water, the sound of waves hitting the shore.

But Pansy's farm is at least a few kilometers away from the ocean near Akara, so how can you hear the sound of water?

The air became more and more humid, and it seemed that there was something above the cloudy sky, projecting its sight to the ground. Si Wei couldn't raise his head. Something invisible and intangible suppressed his head from raising. The person who was monitoring him should have known Si Wei's strong rationality, so he deliberately suppressed all his actions.

[Ah~~...]

The music similar to bel canto echoed around the empty farm. Si Wei suddenly felt a splitting headache. The strong pain destroyed his mind and wanted him to fall into madness and lose his mind!

Si Wei wanted to touch his head, but he couldn't do it. Something suppressed all his actions, forcing him to stand up straight and continue to move forward.

The originally damaged farm has changed. From the trench-like ruins just now, it has turned into a luxurious palace, surrounded by things that cannot be described in words. Si Wei couldn't even distinguish their types and shapes. He only knew that they were not human beings, let alone three-dimensional creatures. They transcended this world and could not be confirmed by Si Wei from a human perspective.

"What is going on here?" Si Wei asked this question again and again in his mind that still had some sanity. What he saw before his eyes was obviously not a composition or product of this world. Could it be that Pansy had a certain relationship with the Old Ones?

Combined with the police officer's description of Pansy's life experience, Si Wei had reason to suspect that Pansy was probably a fallen person from birth.

But... why is this?

Why can one become a fallen person from birth? Could it be that Pansy had already faced the "unknown" before she was born in her mother's womb? This is obviously not reasonable.

The correct answer has been slow to emerge in his mind.

Flowers that Si Wei had never seen began to bloom around the palace. These flowers and trees were lush and leafy, and the vines were twisted and entangled together, but they were not messy and were injected with fresh life.

At this time, the cry of a baby sounded.

The sound was so real, wandering back and forth in Si Wei's left and right ears in surround sound, exacerbating his tearing pain.

There was also a very strange sound, like something with water on its surface, crawling and rubbing on the ground. Harsh and disturbing.

Boom!

Si Wei knelt down on one knee, holding an umbrella stubbornly with one hand, and supporting himself with the other hand on the knee of his supporting leg.

He raised his head, and a white object appeared in front of him.

This object was blurry and huge, at least Si Wei could not reach its highest point when he stood up. The object was irregular in shape, like a ball of cotton squeezed together, and exuded a delicate fragrance.

The hand on his knee reached out to the object, Si Wei's eyes were hazy, and he tried his best to identify what the object in front of him was.

But he couldn't do it. Everything that came into his eyes at this moment began to be illusory and blurred, from "reality" to "unknown".

The next moment, Si Wei touched the white object.

It was soft and warm.

Si Wei suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he withdrew his hand.

The palm disappeared.

No blood flowed out, only the cross-section of muscle tissue and the white bones that had not yet been swallowed could be seen.

The moment his palm touched the white object, it was dissolved... or swallowed and digested.

Si Wei was no longer able to raise his head. The white object was approaching him, like a white worm, raising its head high and pressing down on Si Wei.

Darkness quietly enveloped.

——

Qiao was walking on the street with two different sketch papers in his hands and a pencil between his nose and upper lip, looking quite comfortable.

Jia and he parted ways about three minutes ago. As for where the former was going and what she wanted to do, these naturally had nothing to do with him.

Now he had only one goal, which was to find an answer he needed and then solve the puzzle in front of him.

To this end, he came to the most central and prosperous city in Akela Zhongnei to find the royal library.

In this library, there are the most documents and unofficial histories related to the R'lyeh culture, which should help him solve the current problem.

Outside the library, the security guard at the door stopped him, "Sir, do you have a relevant pass?"

It is precisely because this royal library has a collection of many books related to the R'lyeh culture, so it is also strictly supervised. Without the relevant pass of the empire, it is basically impossible to borrow books.

Of course, if Si Wei was here, the other party should consider it and then let him in.

Qiao naturally took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to the security guard at the door.

As soon as the security guard saw the signature on the envelope, his face suddenly became serious. He did not dare to open the envelope easily. He just confirmed the signature printed on the side of the envelope and the style of the sealing wax, then returned the envelope to Joe, and then stepped aside to make way. "I'm sorry to waste your time, Mr. Joe Rupert. The Royal Library awaits your arrival at any time."
