Apostle of Cthulhu

Joe once said to Si Wei, "For missionaries, time is just a choice."

Si Wei now can be said to have experienced this feeling.

When they first got on the boat, there was actually no problem. The three of them were still communicating very harmoniously, but the next second, a very strange feeling swept over their bodies.

The mind began to become slack, the brain became blank, and it was even very difficult to organize a complete sentence.

Joe was the first to fall. Si Wei and Norris looked at each other and saw each other's fatigue and vigilance.

And Norris, the second to fall to the ground.

Si Wei covered his forehead, one knee to the ground, and his eyes were full of fog.

Tap, tap.

The crisp footsteps sounded in Si Wei's ears, which seemed to be the sound of the heels of high heels touching the ground, which was so loud that people's hearts kept beating rhythmically following the melody of the sound.

A graceful shadow was captured by Si Wei in the fog.

He wanted to ask who that person was, but Si Wei couldn't utter a single syllable. The tide of fatigue had completely engulfed him, and opening his eyes was the result of his best efforts.

The man stood in front of Si Wei and bent down.

A warm palm was placed on Si Wei's cheek. But there was a little coldness, which pulled Si Wei back to reality.

The other party was wearing a ring.

Si Wei made this judgment.

"You don't have to care who I am, because this is simply an unsolvable puzzle." The other party said so, with a soft voice, like a woman's voice, "Don't worry, don't be afraid. The 'unknown' is always watching you, you will be blessed by the stars, you... are the invited person."

The invited person?

Si Wei couldn't make any effective judgment on this, which was different from his speculation that the other party was wearing a ring. The amount of information that the so-called invited person can represent is too much, and he can't handle such a huge amount of information now.

The more he used his brain, the closer Si Wei was to fainting. The man messed up Si Wei's hair as if he was doting, then turned and left, walking away from Si Wei.

Si Wei stretched out his hand, wanting the man to stop, and then explain everything and answer all his confusion.

But he couldn't do it, because his consciousness had already left his body first.

——

Is there anything that can control a person's thinking?

Is there anything that can make a person lose himself?

Is there anything that can make people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves?

Dream.

Dreams can do the above three points, and dream eaters can control dreams and eat away at dreams.

Once again, Si Wei woke up, and the bizarre scenery in front of him made him doubt again whether he had fallen into a deep dream.

The sky was gray-blue, and there were aurora shining in the sky, like the satin of heaven, ethereal and extremely soft.

There were groups of buildings gathered around him, with distorted appearances, which could not be called human buildings at all, just like the residence of the devil.

The house was not made of ordinary concrete, but some material that did not belong to the human world. It was like a pile of mucus, with very clear edges and corners, and it looked like the skeleton of some creature exposed outside.

The floor under his feet was made of a material similar to marble, with unique patterns, forming a strange pattern.

Now he seemed to be in a place like a city square, but where exactly was this place, Si Wei couldn't give an answer.

"Hiss..." Norris's breath sounded in Si Wei's ears. He and Joe woke up at the same time, rubbing their heads that were extremely painful, and got up from the ground, "Where are we now?"

Joe and Norris' eyes were full of confusion, and Si Wei had no clue about the situation in front of him. Now his mind was full of the shadow he saw at the end of his memory just now, and he had not fully recovered his thinking ability.

"We did board that ship just now, right?" Joe's mouth twitched, "Where is the ship?"

Joe talked about the electronics, and the Harlea just now had disappeared. In this city where even water stains can't be seen, where can there be ships?

Si Wei vaguely had a bad feeling, but it was difficult to say it out.

Norris looked around and felt a familiar feeling from the scenery in front of him.

"Wait a minute..." Norris squatted down, his fingertips brushed the smooth and cold ground, and his pupils dilated to a certain extent.

"I seem to know where we are."

Joe has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, "Where?"

Norris turned around and looked at Si Wei, "I am at least 70% sure that we are now in the city of Haleia."

The city of Haleia, the deep-sea city that has long fallen.

"You... are not kidding me?" Joe's smile became more and more bitter, "I don't want to be involved in such an incident. Even if it is an illusion, it is simulated to this extent. The missionary's level is considered quite high, right?"

Si Wei's face was serious, and he made an even more exaggerated guess, "It may also be... a conspiracy of the 'unknown'. If the city of Halaya was indeed destroyed by the 'unknown', then it is very likely that the mission completed by the Pansy family, the last descendants of Halaya, is to establish some kind of connection with the 'unknown'."

Norris agreed with his bold guess to a certain extent, "It is indeed possible. It is also difficult for high-level missionaries to achieve this level of simulation. But if it is the 'unknown', it may be easy to do."

"Don't scare me if you have nothing to do. I can accept it even if you say that I have traveled through time."

When Si Wei heard the word "travel through time", he felt a strong sense of déjà vu... because he came to this world through time...

The three stood in the center of the square, and did not act rashly. They just looked around and collected all the information they could see.

[……]

There was a hazy and decadent sound echoing in the ears of the three of them.

Qiao was stunned for a moment, and Norris turned back suddenly, searching for all the things around that seemed to make sounds.

Si Wei raised his head and looked at the colorful sky.

The sunlight was fluctuating, just like... looking up at the sky from under the water.

"As expected..." Si Wei sighed and said to himself, "I'm experiencing this situation again."

[Your business is very simple. ]

The lewd sound was clearly transmitted to the ears of the three people this time. All of this was not the obscure language before, but a language that was very close to life.

[Survive, this is what you have to do. Never let this deep-sea city... become your burial place. ]
