Chapter 67 The Call of the Abyss

Kerwin's eyes were too empty. His eyes seemed to be looking at everything, but at the same time seemed to be seeing nothing.

Chu Yangbing only felt that his dull brain was sending out a signal of dying, and the world was completely dark.

He saw some very strange pictures.

He saw a group of humanoid creatures wandering in an unknown space. They stood on two legs and covered their bodies with gelatinous coats.Howling in a crying voice.Their appearance is ugly, ferocious, and disgusting, and their howling like crying penetrates people's eardrums, making people have a splitting headache.

And behind these wandering monsters is the space that is rotating and distorting.

Is that a... door?

It was difficult for Chu Yangbing to find words to describe it.

The space twisted and rotated there, towering stone pillars stood up, and a twisted giant door lay across the space, and the relief on the door indicated some kind of monster symbolic image.With a soft head covered with scales, extended tentacles, and a huge and weird body, the relief even made Chu Yangbing mistakenly think that he saw an octopus, a giant dragon, and a distorted human body at the same time.

That is definitely not an image that can be drawn by human imagination. We must know that the brains of geniuses are mediocre and powerless compared with the universe and nature, let alone the brains of ordinary people?

Only after seeing the sun can people have the concept of light, and only after seeing the sea can they imagine the boundless blue.If Chu Yangbing hadn't seen the appearance of that evil god, he would never have been able to draw that grotesque and terrifying image just by his imagination.

Plato once announced his theory of ideas to the world. He said that consciousness is the shadow of the world, and it is impossible for people to have a real understanding of those changing and flowing things.

Fools who have not been able to get out of the cave declare that there is nothing in the world but the shadow on the wall[1], but there are always some people who are far from ordinary people. He escaped from the long cave and saw the real sun. shape.

And the moment he saw the sun, his world was turned upside down.

What he thinks is not a thing, and what he thinks is not true.

He wanted to explain the truth of the world to his kind, but in the eyes of his kind, he seemed more stupid and crazy than before he had seen the sun.

Humans once lived in caves on top of mountains, but who can prove that humans have really walked out of caves?

And those ugly and terrifying monsters that are similar to humans live in caves, walk through the ground, link with illusions, and guard the giant gate that should not exist.

Countless pictures and information frantically poured into Chu Yangbing's brain, almost obliterating his poor self-awareness.

He saw countless things that were born before the stars were born, and that survived the destruction of the stars.He saw the canyon in the night like a monster opening its stinky mouth, and the pale moonlight gradually transformed into strange shapes.

What's even crazier is that the giant door has been opened at some point, and the indescribable and indescribable giant door rotates inward, and the laws of space, physics and perspective seem to have completely lost their effect.In the endless, corporeal darkness within, a being has broken free from its shackles and awakened through the ages.

The stars are aligned, and its followers have waited long.

Crazy and terrified emotions almost knocked out Chu Yangbing's consciousness, people are so fragile and pitiful before the great terror.

He felt that he was silently screaming, screaming with all his strength, and the sound he made to that existence was no different from ants screaming to the planet.

Fortunately, those absurd and madness stopped abruptly after the door was opened, Chu Yangbing suddenly came back to his senses, he found that he was still standing in front of Kerwin.

Kerwin sat on that lonely chair, facing him, the sky and the sea met, and the most immeasurable everything met before him.He is the witness, the witness, the witness.

There was an inorganic emptiness in his gaze, and this gaze had a different meaning to Chu Yangbing at this moment.

Chu Yangbing looked at Kerwen and opened his lips. He was talking. Chu Yangbing couldn't understand what Kerwen was saying, but he was sure that it was definitely not a human language, and that voice was not only from himself, but from from the group.

He, They, attached to him, spoke with him through his mouth.The sound was three-dimensional and noisy, chaotic and hazy, as if it had penetrated layers of void and descended here.The human being on the chair is an empty shell, he is like a statue of Jesus, the golden body of Buddha, he is the statue and coat of the old gods, he sits on the chair, but it is like sitting on a shrine, conveying a certain purpose and spirit. enjoin.

Throughout the ages, all those who believe in those transcendent existences always hope that the other party can hear their voices, and are eager for the other party to give themselves sporadic and pitiful responses.They love their masters like sick slaves, giving everything for a whisper.

Kerwin was certainly the luckiest of them all, for he had heard, seen, and spoken.

Chu Yangbing was the poorer one, the voice soaked his brain like some kind of white noise, and he abandoned all thinking and self-awareness like a baby returning to the womb.

Vaguely, as if someone had touched him, the thought flickered and disappeared in an instant.

The next moment, he was completely addicted.

when!when!when!

Chu Yangbing woke up suddenly on the bed. He was trapped in the soft quilt, and everything before waking up was poured into his mind.

Chu Yangbing struggled to get up, but his limbs were not in control.

Someone next to him hugged him and said, "It's okay, take your time, calm down..."

Chu Yangbing's body twitched nervously, he turned his head a little bit, and when the familiar face of that person came into his line of sight, he let out a sob from his throat.

Lu Feishen!It's Lu Feishen!

Lu Fei frowned and hugged him, Chu Yangbing kept struggling in his arms, he probably didn't realize that his limbs were moving indiscriminately.He wanted to speak, but the excessive fright and mental oppression made him temporarily aphasia.He made a series of chaotic, weird behaviors like a mental patient eager to express.

Fortunately, Lu Feishen was patient enough, he kept comforting Chu Yangbing, and whispered in his ear: "It's okay, I'm here, I'll always be here. You are safe now, you are fine."

"I know you have something to say to me. We are not in a hurry. It is three o'clock in the afternoon and you have been in a coma for a while." Lu Feishen said, "Before you can express yourself, can you listen to me first?"

Chu Yangbing was stunned for a moment before he understood what Lu Feishen meant, he nodded indiscriminately, and curled up in Lu Feishen's arms like a frightened young deer.His hand firmly tugged at the corner of Lu Feichen's clothes. Suffering from mental trauma, he was extremely dependent on this protector who represented security.

"The floor-to-ceiling windows were broken and the storm swept into the room, do you remember?" Lu Feishen guided Chu Yangbing a little bit.

Chu Yangbing nodded. He actually remembered everything, but he couldn't express it, and when he tried to open his mouth, he made strange and chaotic sounds.

"I was next to the chair at the time and almost fell out. But the chair seemed to be artificially fixed in place, because there was a point of leverage, I stabilized my body in time and was not injured." Lu Feichen said here, paused After a pause, he continued: "I heard you calling me, and then you approached that chair step by step as if you were haunted."

"You seemed to want to sit on the chair at the time. I was next to the chair and blocked your movement, and then you passed out. I led Ralph to the guest room, dried you and put you in Go to bed, you just woke up now."

Chu Yangbing tried to recall what Lu Feishen said, but he failed. The difference between his memory and Lu Feishen's description was that he saw the stanza in front of the chair in the storm.Thinking about it now, the reason for everything he experienced afterwards was that short poem.

Listening to Lu Feishen's narration, he is the only one who experienced all that, is that an illusion?

Chu Yangbing frowned. He felt that rather than hallucinations about the things he experienced, it was better to say that some kind of power directly acted on his consciousness and brain, allowing him to see everything.

After Lu Feishen comforted and explained Chu Yangbing, his spirit gradually relaxed, and he tried to tell Lu Feishen his experience again.

"At that time... I was trying to get close to you..." Chu Yangbing found that he was able to speak normally, and the following words came out naturally: "I saw a poem carved on the front of the chair, and then I seemed to caught in a hallucination."

"I saw monsters roaming about guarding a huge door embossed with a monster with an octopus head, tentacles, scales, and a human body. I also saw Kerwin sitting on a chair, watching Looking at the sea, something attached to him, sending out..."

When describing that voice, Chu Yangbing had a flash of inspiration, and said naturally: "An indescribable voice."

"Really?" Lu Fei frowned deeply and asked, "Then do you understand?"

Chu Yangbing shook his head, he really didn't understand at all.Chu Yangbing was very sure that Kerwin did not speak any known human language. Although he was ignorant, human vocal organs determined that there would be similarities between languages.But Kerwin's pronunciation was extremely weird, it was a chaotic feeling, Chu Yangbing tried to open his mouth to imitate but failed.

"Poetry," Lu Feishen grasped the key point, he asked: "We didn't see the poem in front of the chair, what is the content of the poem?"

"Through the gate of sleep guarded by ghouls/Across the abyss of night under the pale moonlight/Through countless births and deaths/My eyes see all things/I struggled and screamed before dawn, Captured by madness in panic." Although Chu Yangbing only glanced at the stanza engraved under the chair, his memory was very clear.

Lu Fei chewed these few lines, and said: "If this verse was inscribed by Kerwin, it is reasonable to guess that Kerwin also saw everything before he inscribed that verse. Then You see the poem that Kerwin engraved, and you see what he saw."

[1] Plato's 'Allegory of the Cave'.

I wrote such a chapter for four or five hours. No matter how I wrote it, it didn’t feel right. I couldn’t write the feeling I wanted. Finally, I barely got this chapter.

I applied for a visa today, but I probably won’t pass it, because I have been rejected 3 or 4 times...ORZ...

I don't know much about the standard of Jinjiang signing. I guess my writing is not very good, and the subject matter is too cold and biased. I feel that the editor should bother me...

In order to prevent loss, update first and then read the notification.

But it doesn’t matter, I have written more than 20 words, and I have received many comments, mines and nutrient solutions from readers, and I have received support and encouragement from many people. I am already super happy!

This story is over, and there are two more stories to end this book. Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way!
