Derek felt like he had been thinking about this for a lifetime.

But in fact, he quickly made up his mind and took the first step.

Humans have a very strange characteristic. Most people don't care about the good qualities of others. If a person does 99 good things and 1 bad thing in his life, then everyone will only remember that bad thing - if that bad thing harms their interests, then these memories will even turn into hatred.

——After all, people’s subjective views are always easily affected, confused or swayed by various factors. This is not a fair trial that the deceased received in front of Anubis. Most people do not have the idea that merits and demerits balance each other. .

Some humans will use absolute rationality to evaluate the merits and demerits of others. They will think of the kindness those people have done to them and the good deeds they have done. But the current Drake is not a rational human being in any sense. .

His tense nerves had been stretched to the extreme, messy murmurs filled his brain, and anger, jealousy, and fear of death occupied his heart. At this moment, he was like an incompetent and furious person who faced a terrible situation that he could not cope with and shouted unreasonably at completely unrelated passers-by: "Why don't you save me!"

People on the brink of despair always have some incomprehensible insights. They cannot accept the fact that they are about to fail, lose their interests, or die, so they frantically look for a life-saving straw. If the straw unfortunately breaks, they will angrily throw it away. Throw it at your feet and stomp it hard a few times.

——As if straw cannot save them, it is straw's sin, even if it is themselves who are wrong, even if the method they want to use to save themselves is the real sin.

In this way, Drake invested his anger, jealousy and helplessness on the innocent townspeople - not realizing that the Church of Light's ignorance of treating children as victims was a sin, and instead of lending a helping hand to him, he happily celebrated God It is also a sin to encourage the evil deeds of the Church of Light on his birthday; it is also a sin to enjoy the happy life of the townspeople when he is so afraid and in such pain...

All the love and kindness the townspeople had shown to Drake were forgotten by him, and everything in the past no longer mattered. At this moment, he could only see the townspeople's neglect of him. Every happy smile on the faces of the townspeople is a mockery of Drake's tragic fate.

In this way, Drake went from a miserable victim to a hateful perpetrator.

Nowadays, no one can tell how much of it is the bewitchment from the evil god, how much of it is the confusion of the mind, and how much of it is Drake's own decision... But as Drake moves towards depravity step by step, The first time he beguiled an innocent child with his harmless smile, sweet words and his identity, then used violence to pull her into the underground sewer, and stabbed her heart with the dagger in his hand, his hands were already stained The blood that cannot be washed away.

Drake entered a very strange state.

He knew what he was doing, but he didn't take it seriously. He added many "unfounded" charges to his victims and vented his fear, jealousy and hatred on them, as if this could justify his crimes...

The dagger stabbed at the flesh crazily, blood splattered on the corners of his grinning mouth, dyeing his blond hair red.

He slowly licked away the blood on his lips and showed a bright smile with satisfaction.

Innocent people died one by one, red dots lit up on the map, and the endless pain, sorrow and resentment were absorbed by the ritual and became the power to shake the "door"...

After completing the ritual, the giant worms fed by the hotel owner will greedily devour the flesh and blood. The relics of innocent people are piled randomly in abandoned orphanages and underground tunnels. No one knows that they were once cherished, and no one knows what sad stories they have witnessed...

The hotel owner always folded his hands on his chest, half-leaning against the wall leisurely, looking at him with a look that was mixed with "appreciation, recognition, and exploration", and there was always an interesting and weird smile on his lips. .

This kind of gaze that was constantly licking at Derek's spine always made him shudder. He always felt that the hotel owner was not deceived by his words. Maybe the hotel owner had seen through everything a long time ago, but instead of having any objection, the hotel owner diligently helped him clean up the scene, cover up traces, and create various alibi...

Drake becomes more and more afraid of being alone with the hotel owner, but he has more and more leverage in the hands of the hotel owner. They have become accomplices who cannot part ways... Once they embark on this evil path, there is no turning back. .

Unfortunately, before the grand ritual to summon Yog-Sothoth could be completed, the traveling cult arrived. They checked into the hotel under the selfish arrangement of the old bishop, and unsuspectingly ate the spiked meals and water sent by the hotel owner, losing their due insight and combat power.

Drake was taken by the hotel owner from the underground passages extending in all directions to a cave outside the town. There, the hotel owner sent Drake to the altar that had been prepared and dedicated him to Nyarlathotep.

An invisible black mist rushed out of the hotel owner's body, completely covering and enveloping Drake, as if it wanted to swallow him completely.

Drake's screams and struggles were completely covered by the black fog. The intangible black fog stretched open Drake's screaming mouth, poured into his body through Drake's mouth, nose and every hole on his body, and completely transformed him into a follower of the evil god.

Drake regretted it. He realized that he had been fooled by Nyarlathotep... From the beginning, he was forcibly dragged onto Nyar's pirate ship by the hotel owner. Every killing he committed became a chain that bound him to this ship.

He could no longer escape or turn back, and could only go further and further on this wrong path.

According to Nyarlathotep's instructions, he killed the defenseless itinerant cult envoys and resurrected them with evil magic.

He also completed the ritual of the Gate of the Dead according to his plan and successfully met Yog-Sothoth.

Unfortunately, the omniscient god could not see his way out. To be precise, there are countless ways, but none of them leads to the ending Drake wants.

At this moment, Drake entered the fourth stage - despair.

A person who is completely desperate can only think of revenge.
