Chapter 68 The Call of the Abyss

Lu Fei pondered for a while, and said, "I think it might not be so accurate to describe Kerwin as crazy."

Chu Yangbing looked at him suspiciously, and Lu Feishen said to himself, "Maybe what Kerwin saw is the truth..."

Chu Yangbing remained silent, but looking at Lu Fei's sinking expression, he had a vague premonition that something bad was about to happen.

Chu Yangbing asked: "Where are Gu Yi'an and Cheng Jianyuan?"

"They went to the second floor to explore. At noon, the dumb servant Ralph prepared lunch for us. I left some food for you. Let's eat something first." While talking, Lu Feichen brought him the meal that was put aside. .

Chu Yangbing nodded. He had received two mental shocks in the morning, fell into a coma for a while, and woke up hungry.

Lu Fei sat by the bed and waited for Chu Yangbing to eat, took the empty bowl and put it aside, and then said: "By the way, you said you saw a huge door with an octopus-like head carved on it." , tentacles, scales, and monsters twisting their bodies?"

"Yes." Chu Yangbing said with certainty: "I can't quite describe him, but that's roughly what he looks like."

"It's troublesome." Lu Feishen said with a rare serious expression, "According to your description, if I'm not wrong, it should have something to do with Cthulhu."

"Cthulhu?" Chu Yangbing looked at him suspiciously, waiting for his explanation.

"To be precise, it is the Cthulhu Mythology." Lu Feishen said: "The Cthulhu Mythology is based on the world of American writer Howard Philip Lovecraft's novels, and it was compiled and perfected by August William Dress , an overhead legend system created by many authors. And Cthulhu is the most representative old ruler in the Cthulhu mythology."

"You probably haven't had time to get in touch with this part of the content. After all, the Cthulhu mythology and some works related to it are too obscure. Now you don't have time to read it. Let me briefly summarize the basic ideas for you."

Lu Feishen tried to succinctly convey some basic content and ideas of Cthulhu Mythology to Chu Yangbing. He said: "The Cthulhu Mythology depicts the old rulers who ruled everything before the birth of human beings. The composition of unknown substances far beyond the mortal world, human beings cannot understand them, cannot approach them, and sometimes just receive some information about them and they will fall into madness."

"The Cthulhu mythology reveals a purposeless, indifferent, strange, and non-verbal world. Human beings have no meaning in the eyes of those old masters, so those old masters will not have any meaning for human beings. Hostility and ulterior purpose. However, it is this kind of maliciousness without malice that constitutes the core of the Cthulhu system-despair caused by fear. Human beings seem to have become the masters of the earth, but there is no one in the entire universe. The meaning and value of existence, and all exploration of the mysterious unknown will lead to disaster. "

Chu Yangbing couldn't help but said, "This kind of thinking... is really crazy."

"According to what you said, I guess there are trigger points similar to chairs in the whole villa. Under certain conditions, you will see the poems that Kerwin once inscribed, and then fall into hallucinations related to Cthulhu." Lu Fei Shen said: "The voice that Cthulhu conveyed to humans in the hallucination is the so-called 'indescribable voice'."

Chu Yangbing frowned when he heard this, and said, "But...does it have something to do with the story? Isn't our main task helping Claus to find the manuscript?"

"The problem is not the manuscript, but why Clauris is looking for the manuscript." Lu Fei Shen lowered his eyes and said, "Combine the two mental oppressions you have experienced to reorganize the information so far."

"Clauris claimed that she was a writer. Her brother Kerwin killed Burton, the editor who visited her home, and disappeared after hiding her manuscript. Cloris' statement is not credible, but combined with the condition of her room and your Based on my experience, I can be sure that Clauris has been fearing some kind of supernatural existence, and there is a high probability that it is the Cthulhu you have seen."

"There were traces of repeated tape on the door of Claire's bedroom. We don't know how long she has been doing that, but it is clear that although she is afraid, she has not fled the villa. But after her brother Kerwin disappeared, Clause fled the villa in a hurry, and showed strange paranoia about the manuscript."

Chu Yangbing realized what Lu Feishen wanted to say, "You mean, the supernatural existence or power that made Clauris fear did not disappear, but became clearer and closer. Moreover, Clauris Think there's a solution in that manuscript that Kerwin hid."

"But it's not right." Chu Yangbing was also aware of the problem, and he said, "If Klauris thinks that there is a way to restrain Cthulhu in the manuscript, how could she not know about it? That's the manuscript she wrote... …unless……"

"Unless the manuscript was not written by Clauris, but she stole it from Kerwin." Lu Feishen confirmed Chu Yangbing's thoughts, and continued: "Clauris claims to be a writer , there is a high probability that all the manuscripts she sent to the publisher were stolen from Kerwin."

"Because Cthulhu occasionally uses telepathy to contact unspecified human beings in the distance, people who can feel Cthulhu's mental fluctuations are often born with keen senses and great artistic talent. Many people go crazy because of such spiritual contact , and yet some people get famous for getting this kind of crazy inspiration."

Lu Fei asked Chu Yangbing deeply, "Do you know what Plato said about inspiration?"

Chu Yangbing shook his head.

"There are two explanations for the theory of inspiration. The first explanation is that the gods attach themselves to the poet or artist, making him in a state of ecstasy, inputting inspiration into him, and making him create."

Lu Feishen evoked a faint smile. He raised his eyes and looked at Chu Yangbing. His eyes were filled with fiery colors like a lake of fire. He whispered: "Some people say that art is the language of gods, while others say that art is the language of the gods." A by-product of the demon's natural madness."

Chu Yangbing was captured by the look in Lu Feichen's eyes for a moment, why did he feel that... Lu Feichen had something in his words.Moreover, this look, it's not the first time he saw Lu Feichen showing such a look, and it's not the first time he felt like he had seen it before...

Where is it?

When Chu Yangbing was thinking silently, Lu Feishen's next words drew his attention back.

"The manuscripts that made Klauris a well-known writer are most likely the works written by Kerwin after he came into contact with Cthulhu. Klauris said that editor Burton and her are pen pals and often correspond with each other, so Burton may have come to visit Claures because he saw a difference between the thoughts expressed in the daily letters and the manuscripts."

"Kerwin's disappearance is true, but whether he killed Burton or whether he hid the manuscript remains to be considered." Lu Feishen said and paused here, and said: "Anyway, it seems that Clause's crime for stealing Cole Wen’s manuscript was revealed and Burton’s murder is even more suspected.”

"As for why Klauris is looking for the manuscript, it is probably because after Kerwin disappeared, Cthulhu has more and more influence on Klauris. After all, Klauris is as flowing as Kerwin blood, Kerwyn can hear the call from the deep, and so can Klauris."

"Clauris believes that there is a way to restrain Cthulhu in the manuscript that disappeared after Kerwin disappeared. However, the most important thing is that this is only Clauris herself."

"What if not?"

Lu Feishen's last question made Chu Yangbing's heart skip a beat, yes, if not?Cloris thought the manuscript that disappeared with Kerwin was important, but that was just her opinion.

"You also felt today, the gaze from outside the bedroom door of Clauris, the power to suddenly shatter the floor-to-ceiling windows of Kerwin's bedroom... Legend has it that Cthulhu slept in the old deep-sea city of R'lyeh. When the stars are aligned correctly, He will rise to the surface of the sea with R'lyeh and come down to the world."

"Before Klauris fled, she said she would come back in three days. Why was it three days instead of four or five?" Lu Feishen said, "I think she should have sensed Cthulhu, who is gradually recovering, and sensed the last time limit." .”

"But this is just your speculation. Maybe the story is not as complicated as you imagined. You know Cthulhu, but we don't know. If you didn't participate in this story, wouldn't we just destroy it..."

Chu Yangbing closed his eyes with some exhaustion. Although he said this, he could feel that what Lu Feichen said was right, because at the end of the hallucination, the huge door carved with the image of Cthulhu opened up...

Now that he closes his eyes, he seems to be able to faintly hear the sound of the waves in the sea not far away, the crying howls of the ghouls guarding the giant gate, and the indescribable voice... A huge sense of powerlessness enveloped him, What power would they have to escape if they were up against old gods who drove men mad just by looking at them?

"No, it won't. When we search for manuscripts in the villa, we will constantly touch the trigger points of the clues. The hallucinations brought by the trigger points will make you gradually realize that some kind of supernatural existence is gradually approaching. Although you don't know that the overcoming Sulu, maybe slowly figure out the key."

"So what are we going to do now?" Chu Yangbing asked, "Should we continue looking for manuscripts and triggering clues?"

Lu Fei nodded deeply, and said: "We can only do this first, neither of us may be able to understand the so-called 'indescribable voice', bring the other two to try. If none of the four of us Got it... after those three days, try to push Claures out."

"How is your rest?"

Chu Yangbing said: "I'm fine, let's go down and find the trigger point with them."

"Yes, but you promise me one thing." Lu Fei said solemnly.

"You said."

"The first two triggers were caused by you, and I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it if you do it a few more times. Then I will lead you to live, but you will go crazy." Lu Fei said hoarsely: "I don't want that to happen. Go to the second floor in a while, if you think there is anything wrong, call me or someone else over there, okay?"

As he said that, Lu Feishen placed a light kiss on the side of Chu Yangbing's neck, and said, "I am not a good person, and other than you, I have nothing to do with the life or death of others."

The logic of this chapter - Cthulhu is constantly approaching, finding the manuscript is a necessary but not sufficient condition, the triggering clue is a sufficient but not necessary condition, if you want to survive in the end, you must either hear the call of Cthulhu, or take the risk of taking Crow Reese pushed out to see if she could win a chance.
