[Unlimited Stream] Book of Horror

After Chu Yangbing and Lu Feishen finished communicating, Chu Yangbing had almost rested, and the two went down to the second floor.

"The second floor has Claire's study room, Kerwin's study room, sculpture room, studio, music room, etc..." Lu Feishen explained to Chu Yangbing the distribution of the rooms on the second floor, saying: "According to the degree of importance , let’s go to Kerwin’s study first.”

Chu Yangbing nodded, and the two walked into Kerwin's study. Cheng Jianyuan and Gu Yi'an were also inside. Seeing Chu Yangbing, Gu Yi'an asked, "Are you okay..."

Chu Yangbing shook his head, then roughly talked about what he saw, and Lu Feishen also talked about his speculation. Of course, Lu Feishen told the two of them very briefly.

Gu Yi'an and Cheng Jianyuan silently digested the information brought by Chu Yangbing and Lu Feishen. Taking advantage of this time, Chu Yangbing carefully looked at the whole study.

Like the bedroom, Kerwin's study was a bit dilapidated inside, but it could be seen that someone had taken good care of it.The books and papers on the table are neatly arranged, and the floor and bookshelves are spotless.

The desk is placed with its back facing the door, and on the opposite side is the floor-to-ceiling window that can see the sea.The remaining two opposite walls were half-emptied to make embedded bookshelves.

Chu Yangbing and Lu Feichen looked at each other, and they went to one side of the bookshelf to read the books on it...

The books on the bookshelf at Chu Yangbing’s side were a bit worn out. He roughly took some of them down to look at the contents, and found that most of the books on the bookshelf were about various religions, and the insides of these books had been stamped with a red ink pen. Big 'X' sign.

Most of the books on Lu Feishen's bookshelf are relatively new, and almost all of them are about modern science, such as Copernicus's "On the Movement of Celestial Spheres", Newton's "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", Galileo's "On the Two Great World System (Ptolemy's and Copernicus's Dialogue), Darwin's "Origin of Species", etc., have also been marked with a big 'X' with a red ink pen.

The two put down the books on the shelf and walked to the desk in the center of the room. Gu Yi'an and Cheng Jianyuan also digested all the information and leaned over.

Chu Yangbing said: "The books on the shelf on the right are all about religion, and there are many '×'s drawn with red ink pens on the pages inside."

Lu Feishen said: "The books on the bookshelf on the left are all about science, and there are also many '×' drawn with red ink pens."

Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other in blank dismay.

I have to say that Kerwin is really a strange person.Religious superstition and modern science, two almost completely opposite things, are placed opposite to each other on the bookshelves on both sides, but these two kinds of books are placed in the same study at the same time, and are studied by the same person. Crystallized people vetoed them harshly.

Kerwin used a pen dripping with red ink, and every time he read a page, he marked a big 'X' across the back of the paper. Judging from the strength of the handwriting, one can imagine the complicated and unspeakable mood of that person at that time.

Cheng Jianyuan suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence. He said, "A genius with his left hand and a lunatic with his right. Do you think Kerwin is a genius or a lunatic?"

"Who knows?" Lu Feichen said mockingly.

There was no trigger point on the bookshelf, and the four of them turned their attention to the desk.

The desk was very clean, and the only book on it was the Necronomicon.

"The Necronomicon is a fictional book written by the mad poet Abdullah Alhazad in Cthulhu mythology in 730 AD. It is the ultimate book that runs through the Cthulhu mythology system. The witch book records the true history of the earth and the universe. It is said that once it reappears in the world, it will cause endless disasters. The book talks about all kinds of alien gods such as the Great Old Ones and the Elder Gods, as well as beliefs their sects and the secret rites by which they are worshiped."

Speaking of this, Lu Feishen had a mocking smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "It is said that shortly after Abdullah finished writing this book, he was killed on the streets of Damascus by invisible The monster ate it."

"Eat by an invisible monster?" Chu Yangbing suddenly realized something, and said, "Clauris said she was looking for the manuscript. If the manuscript really belonged to Kerwin, then Kerwin disappeared after finishing the manuscript." ...he won't...be eaten by some monster too!"

"Who knows..." Lu Feichen picked up the "Necronomicon" on the table and said, "This book was originally invented by Lovecraft. When the collection of works about the Cthulhu gods was published, the title of the book was called "The Necronomicon", and I don't know which one this "Necronomicon" is."

After speaking, Lu Feishen opened the "Necronomicon", and after seeing the content inside, Lu Feishen raised his eyebrows, and said with great interest: "Wow!"

He opened the bookshelf on the desk and showed it to the other three.

The inside pages of this "Necronomicon" are full of traces of red ink smearing, no, it can't be said to be smearing, this book looks like it was soaked in red ink and then fished out to dry.I don't know what material this book is made of, but after being soaked in red ink and dried, it didn't wrinkle.

Most of the content in the book is blurred, only some sporadic words and phrases can be read clearly.

Lu Feichen flipped the pages of the book, and some sentences that could still be seen clearly caught the eyes of the four of them.

[In my opinion, the most benevolent thing in this world is that the human mind cannot comprehend all of its contents.We live on a peaceful island called ignorance, surrounded by an endless black sea, and we are not supposed to sail far.Science — every kind of science — pushes along in its own direction, so it does little harm; but sooner or later, certain seemingly unrelated bits of knowledge come together to unleash horrors about reality The sight reveals the terrible situation in which human beings live, and we will either go crazy, or we will flee from this deadly light and hide into the new dark age to enjoy the silence and safety there. ]

[Theosophists have conjectured that the universe possesses impossibly grandiose cyclical processes in which our world and human beings are but passing passengers.According to their speculations, there are creatures that survive such a cycle; their descriptions freeze the blood under a shell of false optimism.I have glimpsed something forbidden from ancient times, but not from the knowledge of theosophists - it makes me shudder every time I think about it, and drives me crazy every time I dream about it.As with all horrifying encounters with glimpses of reality, that glimpse is the result of a random patchwork of unrelated things—in this case, an old newspaper and the notes of a dead professor.I sincerely hope that no one else will piece together the truth; of course, if I survive, I will never knowingly provide a link in this ugly chain of information.I think the professor's intention is also to conceal the part of the information he knows. If he hadn't died suddenly, he would definitely have destroyed his notes. ]

[Why is it that a single glance at a tangible object in measurable space is so shocking and transformative?It is a thing which is difficult to explain; we can only say that certain outlines and objects exist with a symbolic and suggestive force which can terribly influence the point of view of a sensitive thinker, and whisper to him some horrible suggestion. , to uncover the protective illusion seen by those ordinary perspectives, revealing the hidden and wide connection and indescribable reality below. ]

"Who?" Chu Yangbing looked at the book, but there was a shadow in his peripheral vision.

Chu Yangbing turned his head to look at the door of the study room, the door was not closed tightly, but just now Chu Yangbing really saw a flashing black figure through the gap of the door, but it disappeared when he looked back.

The other three were taken aback by Chu Yangbing's actions, and Cheng Jianyuan and Gu Yi'an also looked at the door reflexively.

Lu Feishen strode over and opened the door, but there was nothing outside.

"no one."

"What did you see?" Gu Yi'an looked at Chu Yangbing suspiciously. After all, it was always Chu Yangbing who was in trouble today. He had received mental oppression twice, and this time he suspected that he saw someone. Of course, Gu Yian would doubt Chu Yangbing ice.

Chu Yangbing said incredulously: "But I saw it just now, a black figure disappeared in a flash."

After finishing speaking, Chu Yang paused for a moment. Why did he feel that his description seemed familiar?

"The Midnight Man?" Chu Yangbing murmured these four words, almost shuddering.

He was right, he was absolutely right, someone flashed past the edge of his field of vision.It's 'Midnight Man', definitely 'Midnight Man'!

Why is he here?How could he be here?

Lu Feishen, who walked back to the desk, heard Chu Yangbing muttering to himself, his eyes darkened, he pressed the book on the desk behind him, and touched a paragraph of text with his fingertips.

[Yog-Sothoth is the door, and Yog-Sothoth is the key of the door, the gatekeeper.He was the past, he is the present, and he is the future, for all things are in Yog-Sothoth.He knows where the Great Old Ones have broken through; and He knows where the Great Old Ones will break again.He knows which lands in this world were ravaged by him; he also knows which lands still bear his trampling; ]

"Yog-Sothoth." Lu Fei said in a low voice.

Chu Yangbing looked up at him and asked, "You said 'The Midnight Man' was Yog-Sothoth?"

"Yog-Sothoth is a thing composed of infinite beings and self, all-seeing and all-seeing, and one with all time and space. Yog-Sothoth is represented as a collection of billions of radiant spheres, but he is in this There are countless incarnations in the universe, and he himself is not limited by any time and space, mathematical logic or physical laws."

Lu Feishen went on to explain: "Yog-Sothoth knows everything, and if he can please him, he may reward him with knowledge. But in the Cthulhu Mythos system, the search for transboundary knowledge usually leads to disaster. Sexual end."

Chu Yangbing recalled the story of "Dormitory Strange Talk". The origin of the story was that someone knew that summoning the 'Midnight Man' could answer one of his questions.But the result of knowing the knowledge of crossing the boundary will break the boundary between oneself and abnormal things. In the end, the people who play the game almost have to die tragically.

The content in the article [] is quoted from the original text of Lovecraft's "Necronomicon", and the explanation of "Necronomicon" and Yog-Sothoth comes from Baidu Encyclopedia.

This chapter quotes a lot of content, all of which are classic excerpts from Cthulhu literature, and it is also a better medium for a general understanding of Cthulhu's thoughts.

I don't know much about it myself. There are magic reforms in it. For example, "Midnight Man" is the incarnation of Yog Sothoth, which is my own magic reform. Don't take it too seriously.If you want to learn more about Cthulhu literature, I recommend reading Lovecraft's novels.

Quotations are almost always about the story, implying a lot.
