Pollution throughout the territory

The downpour made the world blurry, and the dark clouds formed a spiral shape, pouring power into the world, as if a deep hole had been opened in the sky, and it was also like a punishment from the gods.

The sound of dense rain filled the sky and the earth, like millions of people beating drums at the same time. Sharp lightning cut through the gaps in the dark clouds, pierced the darkness, and brought short-term light.

In the rain, two huge and ferocious tentacles like dragon snakes intertwined with each other to form a terrifying disk.

Under the disc, four people stood.

In front of them, a pyramid-shaped building stood in the sand, being washed away by the rain. A deafening roar sounded overhead. Under the lightning, the spotless building surface exuded a cold metallic luster.

"heavy rain."

Qin Yun smoothed her wet long hair and said.

"yes."

Xia Ren looked at the logo representing the foundation on the front door.

The Moka Desert has an extreme climate, with a huge temperature difference between day and night. Although this sudden rainstorm may seem devastating, once it recedes, the desert surface will return to its original dryness in less than two hours.

Lily, who had always been lively, became much quieter when she arrived here.

The little cutie held Xia Ren's hand tightly without saying a word.

Da Yuan Jing was once imprisoned in the Eighteen Purgatory. If Zhao Mingyue hadn't brought him out, he didn't know how long he would have been imprisoned. Now that she was revisiting her old place, she had an instinctive fear and simply hid in Lu Yi's body like a shrinking bastard.

As a standard equipment for Foundation investigators, although Xia Ren's black mobile phone was burned while fighting the infidels in Dallas, the Foundation immediately issued him a replacement one, including his legendary investigator's identity certificate and other documents. , all kept by Qin Yun.

The main reason is that Xia Ren finds it troublesome, and he often encounters battles, so it is inconvenient to carry messy things with him.

The heavy rain continued, and the metal door slid open to both sides, revealing the bottomless passage inside.

A few people walked in, and the noisy sound of rain was instantly isolated.

…

…

In addition to the containment area, there are also all other facilities here.

The further down you go, the higher the containment level, and the more dangerous it becomes.

After all, Lily's body is a Shoggoth, and none of Qin Yun, Lu Yi, etc. are normal people. In order to avoid unpredictable dangers, he used his A-level authority to briefly obtain The right to use a house allows Qin Yun and the others to stay here first.

With their own IDs, they could wander around the living area as they pleased, while Xia Ren himself took the elevator directly to the entrance of the eighteenth floor.

Unlike the last time he came, this time Xia Ren was not accompanied by anyone.

After a rigorous verification process, the entrance is opened.

A few seconds later, he stood in an empty room.

In the center of the room, there stood a cylindrical transparent glass tank. The space around the tank was filled with terrifying fluctuations. The handsome young man was soaked in the green underworld water and opened his empty eyes.

Doctor: "You're here."

Xia Ren: "I'm here."

The doctor said calmly: "You shouldn't have come."

"..."

Xia Ren hesitated whether to continue taking this joke.

Seeing him pause, the doctor asked, "What do you want to know?"

Xia Ren prefers the doctor's way of communicating without wasting any time.

He took out the Dice of Destiny from his pocket: "All the information on this contained object."

The doctor groaned and said, "It should be clearly stated in the information."

Xia Ren shook his head: "The most important thing is not written out."

The doctor was slightly silent: "I don't know anything else. Since you are here, you must not just ask me these boring questions. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Outer God, what is it?" Xia Ren asked directly.

"Um?"

The doctor's tone finally fluctuated.

"How do you know about the existence of outer gods?"

"Because of this dice."

Xia Ren played with the dice of destiny and said, "This dice is a token of the outer gods. By using it, you can communicate with the outer gods."

He decided to tell the secret of the dice. Being inexplicably coveted by an alien god made him very uneasy. He must have enough information about the other party.

Of all the people he knew, only the Doctor could possibly understand the Outer Gods.

The development of the matter was obviously somewhat unexpected, and the doctor's tone became serious: "How did you find out about this?"

Xia Ren didn't hide anything, and told him all about his experience of meeting Nyarlathotep.

After hearing this, the doctor was silent for a long time, then seemed to whisper: "Messenger of the original nucleus of chaos, the God of Thousand Faces..."

"I cannot mention His name, nor can I reveal more information about Him to you, otherwise He will sense my presence. I can only tell you that His authority is far more powerful than any old god, And you have a strong interest in human beings. You very wisely did not agree to his request, otherwise you would no longer be you."

"Just saying his name will get you discovered?"

Even though we know that the existence of the Old God and the Outer God cannot be understood by normal human thinking, it is too powerful. With this ability, wouldn't no one be able to say bad things about Him secretly?

The doctor continued: "As for whether you have made transactions with Him in the past, I don't know, but you'd better not try to communicate with Him again. There is no need for a reason to crush an ant."

Xia Ren nodded.

What the doctor said was correct, but that was only in most cases. He instinctively felt that Nyarlathotep was different from ordinary old gods, and that the other party seemed to have... more personality.

At the same time, he still remembered his anger towards Naiya's wife, the elk goddess Iheuti. Xia Ren was almost certain that there was some irresolvable hatred between him and her.

He suddenly thought of something, raised a smile on his lips, and asked: "By the way, this kind of information about foreign gods is important, right? Should it be recorded?"

A huge organization like the Foundation has a very strong ability to integrate information. Xia Ren has long understood this. Even if it happened decades ago, if he wants to check it, he can immediately check it in the Foundation's database. Check it out.

Important information cannot only be known to the Doctor. There must be a preservation mechanism. Otherwise, one day the Doctor suddenly kicks his legs, and the foundation will suffer extremely heavy losses.

"It will be recorded."

"That……"

Xia Ren thought about it in his mind and said firmly: "Actually, Nyarlathotep has another form."

"Tell me about it." The doctor seemed to have returned to his calm state.

"His other form calls himself Nayako. She is a beautiful girl less than 1.6 meters tall, with silver hair and green eyes."

Xia Ren made up his mind freely, making it up on the spot while continuing to speak eloquently: "He has a very long hair on his head, called stupid hair. That stupid hair can change into various shapes according to his mood. One moment it is heart-shaped, For a while it’s wavy, and it can even turn into an equilateral right triangle.”

"Hmm..." The doctor was already a little confused.

"Not only that, Nayako also possesses a fourth-dimensional Fuqiangou and a fourth-dimensional skirt."

After a pause, Xia Ren stretched out his hand and gestured

"Furthermore, the avatar named Nayakko fell in love with me so much that she couldn't stop pursuing me. Her biggest dream was to marry me. After being decisively rejected by me, she even wanted to directly seduce me and push me down. She often had all kinds of feelings towards me. I have hallucinations and behave like crazy idiots... I guess the reason why Nyarlathotep wants me to become his apostle may also be for this reason."

He used his imagination as a writer of online articles and placed strange settings on Nyarlathotep. Because he may be the only one in the world who has actually seen him, no matter what he says, it has a certain meaning. credibility, others have no choice but to believe it.

This was Xia Ren's small revenge. Nyarlathotep's arrogant attitude of being completely in control of everything, and his wife the Elk Goddess, made Xia Ren very unhappy.

This wave, this wave is a deliberate slander. At the very least, it destroys people's image. At the most serious level, it is blasphemous.

He is not worried about the losses this wrong information will bring to the Foundation. After all, the Outer Gods are not weak enough to be targeted by humans.

After listening, the doctor was completely confused.

His first reaction was that Xia Ren was lying, because what Xia Ren said about Nayako was too outrageous, so he might as well not call her Nayako and change his name to Nyarato.

However, nothing about the Outer Gods can be understood by ordinary people. It is so unbelievable that it actually adds some credibility.

After all, if a normal person with mediocre performance says that he is the incarnation of an alien god, wouldn't that be an insult to his intelligence?

The more indescribable it is, the more internal it is.

Therefore, the question before the doctor now is whether what Xia Ren said is of value, and whether it needs to be recorded to provide reference for other people who are qualified to see this information.

"…After all, he is the God with a Thousand Faces."

The doctor still thinks it can be used as a reference.

When you can't tell the difference between true and false, treat it as true.

When he made this decision, he had a premonition that many years later, when other people saw this information, they would fall into the same confusion as himself, and then sighed that he was indeed the incarnation of an outer god, and began to imagine what Nayako was. What a lovely image.

After making a wave of cute Naiya, Xia Ren started his second goal: "The magic book "Seraino Fragment" is also stored on the 18th floor, right? I want to take a look."

The doctor's empty eyes looked in his direction: "You overestimate your endurance. If you read two grimoires in a short period of time, your sanity will be horribly distorted without even realizing it."

His answer was very skillful, neither agreeing nor directly denying it.

Xia Ren was slightly disappointed, as expected it was not that easy.

The doctor hasn't finished speaking yet: "You shouldn't come to see me now, but since you are here, I will tell you some news by the way."

"what news?"

Xia Ren pricked up his ears and concentrated his attention.

"One of the several containment objects you commissioned the Foundation to find earlier appeared in Arkham City."
