Long periods of silence.

No one spoke.

Coffey couldn't help covering his face and trembling, he didn't want this kind of useless ability from the bottom of his heart.Why can't he have cool fighting skills that don't embarrass him?

The monster that was being carried by Azathoth, which was about to dry, let out a shriek that made those who heard it sad and those who saw it cry. Its throat seemed unable to support the human language system.The next moment, the puppet-like creature whined, curled up its limbs like a boiled shrimp, and then exploded with a bang in full view.

"Huh?" Azathoth let go of his hand at the last second, not being stuck by the spider silk-like goo scattered after the explosion.He looked at the broken limbs of the monster on the ground in a little surprise. His first reaction was that he had used too much strength just now...but the surrounding humans were still standing there, so he immediately regained his confidence after two seconds of guilt. , I think it's because this thing is too fragile.

As the saying goes, there are gains and losses, and when the power you have is too strong, sometimes it is difficult to find interesting and durable toys.

This is the truth that Azathoth gradually understood after he left Desolate Star.

You have to be a little more careful...at least until you get bored.He secretly warned himself, the tentacles under the black robe curled up and stretched out and rushed in all directions, and soon found the next entertainment place, no, it was a key facility.

It was the main body of the laboratory wrapped in the shell of a food processing factory.

Its gate was violently destroyed, but there was no blood around it, probably washed away by the rain.Opposite the laboratory was a low office building. In the central office on the top floor lay a bloody corpse. The sticky, multi-colored liquid flowed down the back chair in the room to the floor. Leave slips, stacks of papers, and a bottomless cup of hot cocoa.

As for the creatures that escaped just now, they have been completely scattered on the island and disappeared. I don't know if the security guards at the gate of the food processing factory are still alive.

So Azathoth asked very democratically like the guide NPC in the game: "Where do you want to go next? The laboratory, the office building or the gate?"

Hugo, who didn't want to be a player honestly, asked, "What's the difference?"

The heavy rain destroyed the signal tower, which is now a salted fish with arms and legs.

"It's the difference between the death of one person, the death of a group of people, and maybe some people who didn't die."

Wendy patted Kofi's shoulder again, this time she took the initiative and said, "Be strong."

Coffey: "..."

Ok.

"I'll take a look at the gate." He said listlessly, "I saw that group of people just now. As far as I know, the employees here are ordinary people hired from the outside. They shouldn't die because of our mistakes."

If possible, it would be great if he could ask the headquarters for help, but now the decision-making power for the development of the matter is no longer in his hands.

"Let's go inside the institute." Igor said, "After copying the core data, we can leave here."

"That's a secret..." Coffey said subconsciously.

He and Igor's red eyes met for a moment.

"No, it's all right." The human boy said wisely, "I wish you the best of luck, Mr. Sullivan."

"Thank you." Igor said calmly.

They parted ways at the intersection.The interior of the research institute has been cut off, and there are traces of smashing, looting and burning everywhere. The ground and walls that should have been clean are filled with disgusting secretions, animal blood, and dust.Azathoth considered taking care of the only minor present, and the point was that she was still Igor's younger sister, so he picked up the little girl and covered it with a robe the moment he entered the door.

"Let's go." His figure blended into the dark environment.

Wendy:? ? ?Her face turned red, not knowing whether it was from embarrassment or fear.

If Kofi was by her side, she should have heard the cheerful sound of a herd of alpacas running past in the lightning.

When she was dumbfounded, Igor's eyes flicked across Azathoth's face to determine the meaning of his action, and then hesitated: "I'm sorry to trouble you, why don't I do it..."

"If you come to take care of Wendy, only Hugo will check and tidy up the laboratory in a while." Azathoth said, "I don't want to waste time."

Compared to puzzle games that I don't know anything about, of course it's more interesting to play with cosmic creatures that are not of the human race.Not to mention that Azathoth is still using a human body, as long as Igor is still alive in this world, he is willing to have basic goodwill and respect for the human race.Therefore, it was inevitable to be restrained when acting in the past, and it would be much simpler if the target was not a human being.

Igor thought that he was impatient and wanted to go home as soon as possible, and holding Wendy would really affect the activities, so he didn't refute anymore, he just walked forward at a faster pace.

Wendy: ...

elder brother!Big brother!Please hold on!

She curled up between Azathoth's chest and arms stiffly, she couldn't see anything in the darkness, and felt that she had turned into a corpse.

Under the tension, Wendy's brain began to operate at the speed of light, and her other senses became extremely sharp when she lost her vision.At this moment, she could feel Azathoth's peaceful heartbeat... It's really strange, do gods have hearts?

In addition, she also felt a dry cold.

It's not her own fault. In fact, she was wearing quite thick clothes, and the heat preservation measures were adequate.It's just that between the ups and downs of the breath of the gods, in the emptiness of the darkness, Wendy felt a certain indescribable emptiness, which was transmitted from the body close to her.It seems that what beats in Azathoth's chest is not the heart, but chaos and nothingness, a mass of solid air, no matter how heavy things can fill it, no matter how boiling emotions can raise its temperature.Bang, bang, bang... That organ was beating, like a star, like the universe, stable and powerful.

What is she leaning on?

Gradually, even the brain became confused with the senses, and Wendy was thinking in a daze... It can't be described as death, nor can it be compared with living things.It is the feeling between the two, life and death, greatness and smallness, boundless space and a point collapsed into a unit, in which is God, is Azathoth... She feels walking in The emptiness of the gods on the ground is countless times wider than the life she has experienced, as if the world has become an hourglass, and every minute, every second, every creature is a tiny grain of sand, slowly flowing downward.

Azathoth, clad in black, gazed at the sand for billions of years.

At this moment, Igor's voice came to her ears across the distant barrier: "...So you came to Capital Star for the Zerg?"

"You know, this planet has always been very close to the settlement of the Zerg, otherwise humans would not have become Arthur's target."

The chest close to the ear vibrated, and Azathoth's voice was a little annoyed: "Maybe I liked Arthur quite a bit at that time, so as soon as he snitched on me, I came to teach him that the next door was disobedient. neighbor."

Brother Wendy's tone was full of smiles: "Thank you for your hard work... No wonder the aborigines on this planet are so scared. Look, the documents here say that the creatures they occupy now have encountered formidable natural enemies and are facing life and death. Therefore, after feeling the call of mankind in an emergency, a group of vanguard troops were sent back here to try to find a way out."

"This document explains a lot of my questions." The human youth pondered, "For example, why did the federal government cooperate with the Holy See to target heresies and evil gods, but in recent years there have been conflicts between the two? I think Shab In the years when Ms. Lina Guevara became the chief executive officer, the findings of the archaeological team directly led to policy changes: After realizing that the natives of this planet were forced to leave because you were forced to leave, they were not as powerful as We, the natives, naturally fear your presence and worry that the same will happen in the future."

The possibility of an unknown enemy is not the same as the inevitable existence of an unknown enemy.

However this raises more questions:

The scriptures and teachings of the Holy See come from this universe, not the native religious beliefs of human beings.Who brought them to human society in ancient times and spread them widely?What is the god that people believe in?Who is the one who is afraid?

In addition, the Federation has settled the capital planet for a long time. Why has no one discovered the traces of the aborigines here in the past like the dinosaur fossils discovered by humans on Earth?If it is because the original technological level was not enough to decipher the information left by the aborigines, then how come the stone slabs hidden in the caves and the corpses in the sea have been unearthed in recent years, but they have never aroused people's attention more than ten years ago. Notice?

What exactly are we living next to?Do the Zerg understand all this?If the answer is yes, how much do they know?

There are too many questions... From the beginning to the end, human beings' understanding of this universe is one-sided.

Our efforts to explore the truth is a process of changing vision from blurred to clear.

Azathoth may or may not explain all this.He is not the answer that is so clear that he can list items one by one to solve people's puzzles. He is the puzzle itself.

The process of deciphering is bound to be difficult...but it is also accompanied by far more fun.

Thinking about these contents, Igor couldn't help showing a sincere smile, and said with a pun: "Anyway, thank you for your help all the time."

Wendy heard the sudden rapid heartbeat.

The sense of emptiness that was farther than the boundaries of the universe disappeared, the gods overlooking the passing sand disappeared, and the boundary between life and death disappeared.The balance of eternal justice is tilted towards the more weighty side, the warmth, the satisfaction of being full, the comfort of being soaked in warm water, the vitality and fullness of the revival of all things in spring... At this moment, there is a certain kind of vigorous power Take root in the empty chest.

"There's no need to thank you." Azathoth rang in her ears with a slightly imperceptible self-confident voice.

He is like a cat who has obtained something he has longed for, flicking his tail lazily contentedly, with the same thing in his heart and eyes, leaving behind the loneliness and arrogance that arose when he walked alone in the dark night.

Ah, so it is.

The girl huddled in her warm embrace, and although she couldn't see anything, she felt at ease.

It is always the same emotion that gives us strength, fearlessness, and courage to persevere.This is true for Igor, and it is also true for Azathoth.Wendy felt that, at least for this moment, she would never doubt that He loved the human beings in His eyes deeply, far surpassing everything in the world.
