Cthulhu Corrosion: Another World Rescue Plan

The paper used for the newspaper was very thin. After lifting it up, under the light of the campfire, Mo Yu could clearly see the traces of red ink seeping from the back.

The shape was indeed very familiar, like two five-pointed stars in a circle, but it was much more complicated than the five-pointed stars. A pattern seemed to flash through his mind, vaguely visible, but he could not capture it.

Yu Hua Dengxian lowered his head and pulled out a piece of wood burned into black charcoal from the bonfire, crushed it on the ground, picked up a small piece of charcoal, drew a few lines on the newspaper, and connected the dots: "What about this? Did you see it?"

"This symbol is...the Gate of the Dead?"

It is a very famous Cthulhu symbol. There are two pentagrams in a circle. The vertex of the larger pentagram is divided into two straight lines. The end of the straight line is a curve and a circle. The smaller one is The pentagram extends two line segments in opposite directions from the left end and the top vertex, also ending in weird curves and circles.

A sentence written by Lovecraft suddenly flashed through Mo Yu's mind: "They came from a distant planet, and they took their own images with them."

Even though they span planets, spaces and worlds, when they come, they still bring a familiar old dream to mankind.

"These weird things can actually form a symbol..." Mustafa was shocked, "But what does this symbol mean?"

"Well... there are many ways to say this," Yuhua Dengxian scratched his face, "Some say it is the emblem of an old god that represents keys and doors, some say it is the door of summoning, and another says it is this Symbols have the meaning of protection and resistance to evil..."

Mo Yu: "...These statements seem to contradict each other."

"...Indeed, it is mysticism after all. No one can explain the specific meaning." Yuhua Dengxian said a little embarrassedly.

Mo Yu looked at Mustafa: "Then what? What else happened next?"

"On the night of the fourth day, we went to the place where one of the strange things happened, which was in Pigeon Square. Someone saw a green fireball in the sky in the middle of the night."

The businessman continued to tell about their experience, "Of course, we didn't dare to get too close. We only dared to spread out and hide far away. A few people hid in the alley, a few climbed on the roof of a nearby house, and a few The man hid in a closed pigeon food stall...

"We waited there until late at night. Just when we were all drowsy, Muhat pushed me awake, and I realized that at some point, gray fog had filled the town. "

"Everywhere was dark at that time, with only the mist glowing gray. A few of us were hiding in the alley, using cardboard boxes to keep out the cold. We didn't dare to light a lamp at all. I took out my pocket watch and touched the hour hand. It should have been early morning by then. Three o'clock."

Mustafa took out his pocket watch and showed it to everyone. It was a very retro pocket watch. When you open the watch cover, there is no glass cover inside. It is just the hands and raised scales. When there is no light, you can also rely on the touch. Find time.

"I looked up at the sky and found that the stars had been obscured by the fog, but two strange green lights suddenly lit up in the fog, as if there was a dim flame burning in the fog or mid-air... No, it was not that dazzling. It is not a flame or light, but the kind of faint phosphorus fire, like the kind burning on the bones of the dead... dark, hazy and terrifying...

"While I was staring at the green light, something suddenly fell from mid-air, and with a bang, it landed on the ground in the square in front of the alley entrance."

"At first, my eyes couldn't adapt to the darkness because I was staring at the green light group, but when I stared hard at the thing on the ground, gradually I began to be able to see clearly what it was. In the darkness, a ball of flesh and blood The fuzzy remains of the pigeon just lay on the stone floor of the square, its cloudy pigeon eyes staring straight at me.

"I was startled. I fell down in the alley and found something flying up and down. The sound moved towards the place where the slaves were hiding on the roof. Not long after, I heard their misery. Shouting, and there was the sound of something flying into the sky, and then..."

He shuddered, "Globs of flesh and blood fell from the sky...and heads...something flying ate them, two of them, and the third one took the opportunity to escape..."

"'There are monsters!' said the surviving slave. 'They are very big twisted snakes. They are twisting and turning in the sky, flapping their huge bat-like wings. Their eyes are like green lanterns. Terrifying sights shoot out from inside, and the prey they target will die! Whether they are birds or humans, they will become their food!'

"We didn't know the name of the monster, and I didn't really see the monster's appearance, but the death of the two slaves frightened me. I immediately took everyone to escape...and escaped quietly."

"Those monsters flew very high," Muhat added. "We lowered ourselves, holding the cardboard boxes on our heads, and walked slowly through the alleys, trying not to make any noise as much as possible. This strategy should have worked, but we didn't Get their attention again.

"We could hear them shrieking in the sky, as if they were having a conversation, but as soon as the first rays of sunlight appeared in the morning, both the sounds and the monsters themselves disappeared like a plume of dust."

"A huge snake with bat wings, speaks loudly, and is afraid of the sun..." Yuhua Dengxian concluded, "I guess the monster is a huntg horrors. But it's very strange..." He seemed to be lost in thought.

"What's strange?" Mo Yu asked.

"We encountered the Nightmare before, and now there is the Terror Hunter, but they are not monsters of the same faction."

Yuhua Dengxian racked his brains and tried to explain it in a way that would not trigger blocked words, "It's just... In the K's mythology, there are many old gods and outer gods, and they are in a relationship of mutual confrontation, and these monsters all have their own factions.

"For example, the master of the Nightmare is a very powerful old god, known as the King of the Great Abyss, and I can't say his name here.

"And the Terror Hunter is a hound that a very famous outer god often uses. That very famous outer god has many, many incarnations, but the one he uses most often is a dark-skinned person who looks like an Egyptian pharaoh." Yuhua Dengxian winked at Mo Yu.

"You mean Naya..." Mo Yu understood immediately.
