Plague Doctor

"Dr. Armitage, you said that your grandfather spent his whole life fighting against the dark force of Yog-Sothoth. Why do you think that is?"

Gu Jun asked loudly, but in fact he no longer expected the old man to change his mind. He just wanted to delay for a while so that he could think of a way to deal with it.

"Power is neither good nor bad, power is power." Dr. Armitage approached with the ancient "Necronomicon", and there was a trace of weirdness on his elegant old face, "I am in a different situation than my grandfather was at that time. , naturally we have to make different choices.”

The old doctor sprinkled some white fine powder in his hand around the ritual mark on the ground, and explained to the two of them: "This is the combination of Dunwich soil and some alchemy substances, which allows us to connect with the unfinished ritual." , more accessible to the power of our Heavenly Father.”

Gu Jun looked at Hannah with questioning eyes.

"Brother, I can't even understand what you are saying." Hannah shrugged with difficulty, "I think we are going to die here."

die? Gu Jun looked at the "Book of the Dead". If this old man completed this ritual, death might be the luckiest outcome.

A man and a woman, they are basically sacrifices. Even if they can leave here after the ceremony, only George Armitage can leave.

He glanced around, looked at the ritual mark on the ground again, and suddenly saw something in it, it was a dividing cross symbol.

It is mixed among many layers of symbols. If you don't pay careful attention, it is easy to think that it is part of other symbols.

Split cross symbol, mysterious signal…

Thinking of this, Gu Jun felt complicated. Who was behind the mysterious signal was still a mystery. It was possible that the Yisi people or Nyarlathotep were the ones behind it.

He advised himself in his heart not to be overwhelmed by hatred, calm down, calm down.

Just now when he suddenly discovered this symbol, there seemed to be a little surge in his mind.

Ever since he woke up from the lunatic asylum ward in this world, Gu Jun felt nothing whether he was about to contact or use supernatural powers such as spells. His mind was empty, as if such mysterious things did not exist in the universe at all, but The feeling that arises now...

Contact, acceptance.

This divides the cross symbol.

At the same time, Dr. Armitage finished scattering all the powder, came to the middle of the ritual mark, took a long and slow breath, and relaxed himself.

"Jem, Hannah, I know something about history, linguistics, literature, philosophy, medicine and some miscellaneous subjects."

The old doctor said that Gu and Jun knew more than just a little bit. George Armitage was one of the most knowledgeable people in the world today.

"But I still can't understand the Vitelli brothers. They are God's creations. Only God's creations can do what my grandfather said."

After saying these words, Dr. Armitage began to recite, reciting the dark eulogy that he knew by heart.

The lights in the reading room flickered dimly, and the doctor's voice quickly changed from gentle and honest to deep and hoarse, more harsh than the call of a vulture.

The doctor's throat rose and fell violently, as if there was a whirlpool stirring inside, and he made a sound that was not possible for humans: "Igonai'a...Igonai'a...Sifuskenha...Yug-Thor" Thos... Ibushnke... Heaey-Nigerkdra..."

The sound sounded vague and loud at the same time.

A strange light gradually emerged from the ritual mark on the floor, extending from the floor. The entire reading room was suddenly eroded and eaten away, and the dome was trembling.

Suddenly, a stench inexplicably emerged from the air. Dr. Armitage's old face suddenly swelled up, and the skin and flesh tissue also changed, like rotten jelly, like countless squirming thick ropes twisted together. Two eyes protruded, and there seemed to be eyes behind them.

I don’t know if such a change was expected by the old man.

But the ritual worked, and the old man had touched the edge of the power he craved.

He became crazy and ecstatic, mixed with some instinctive pain and fear. His entire head, neck and upper body were rapidly mutating.

The deformity and filth were just the beginning. There was a sudden crackling sound, and the doctor's well-fitting black suit burst open. Dozens of long gray-green tentacles with bloody mouthparts broke out from his chest and stretched outward. , the arrangement seems to follow some kind of cosmic symmetry that humans cannot understand.

But these tentacles seemed to be mutated by the intestines in the abdomen, stretching longer and longer, waving, opening and closing.

If other University of Michigan students saw this scene, they would definitely not believe that this half-human monster was their beloved George Armitage.

“n’gai, n’ghaghaa, bugg-shoggog, y’hah; Yog-Sothoth, Yog-Sothoth…”

The more painful Dr. Armitage became, the more ecstatic he became. A dozen eyes stretched out from his eye sockets in series, seeming to see dimensions that humans could not know.

Gu Jun and Hannah were both looking at this horrific scene. The time and space around them began to distort. There were all kinds of strange sounds that impacted their eardrums. The ropes that tied them seemed to be about to melt into their bodies, and it seemed that they too To become such a monster.

The old doctor's frantic chanting was already louder than the rumbling thunder, and the explosions exploded one after another, making the two of them tremble.

Blood and pus were flowing on the floor, covering the ritual marks.

Gu Jun had already experienced hundreds of battles, but he was still shocked by what he saw in front of him. Looking at Dr. Armitage, he seemed to see Will back then.

Bo-Wheatley.

This old man has gone completely crazy. Perhaps he went crazy while reading "The King in Yellow", or his thoughts changed while studying the Dunwich Incident.

For a moment, Gu Jun felt the crazy thoughts of the old doctor. The old doctor wanted to become a demigod, and he wanted to have that kind of blood.

The bloodline of the great Lord of Time and Space, Yog-Sothoth, the more he studied Wilbur Vitley, the more jealous he became of Wilbur Vitelli.

And Wilbur Whateley's twin brother who is even more different from human beings...

Dr. Armitage was jealous of their bodies and disgusted with their incompetence. They both had the blood of gods, so they both died tragically.

Why do incompetent people have such opportunities, and why do knowledgeable people only live a mediocre life in this world?

The old doctor wanted the demigod for himself, and he would bring the light of Yog-Sothoth to this world and to all worlds.

Gu Jun gritted his teeth, feeling that his mind was becoming crazy, being swept up by Dr. Armitage's thoughts like a torrent of mud and rocks.

This is a chapter of "The King in Yellow"... Dr. George Armitage is the protagonist...

It's time to mess up this ceremony, and there will be no chance in the future.

No matter what happened to Hannah, Gu Jun gathered his mental power and focused all his energy on the dividing cross symbol on the ground. He sensed and called out to drag him into the abyss no matter who was behind it.

Come, come and taste the power of Yog-Sothoth...

Love the Plague Doctor.
