Chapter 76 The Call of the Abyss

From the beginning of the story to the present, whether it is the triggering clues or the materials scattered around the villa, they are helping them piece together the truth of the story.Now there is still some time before the next night, they might as well go to the studio and the piano room to find some clues.

The studio where the three of them went first, the walls and floor of the studio were covered with mottled paint colors.There are a series of paintings hanging on the walls on both sides of the studio, mainly oil paintings.

Walking from the door to the studio, these oil paintings seem to be connected as one.

The first painting is of Kerwin's mother. The painting adopts the technique of impressionism, and the subject part of the whole picture is a black figure bowing his head.There is a large area of ​​red under her body, and the same black figure is indistinct in the distance.

Starting from this painting, I painted a lot of abstract things one after another, most of the colors are dark tones.

To the very end of this wall, the second-to-last painting shows an extremely distorted figure of Cthulhu with an octopus head, tentacles, scales, and misshapen wings.The last painting next to the portrait of Cthulhu is a portrait of a family of four.

It is not normal to say that it is a portrait painting, which is obviously fabricated.Because the parents in the painting are standing with the grown-up Clauris and Kerwin, all four of them have happy and warm smiles on their faces.

The four of them stood in the garden, the sun hit the four of them, covering them with a hazy halo of brilliance, and the warm tones fully swayed its essence. The family of four looked so peaceful and happy.

But the three outsiders present knew very well that this was all fake. The parents of Clauris and Kerwin never lived long enough for the two children to grow up, and the four of them had never stood side by side like this.

Was this drawn by Kerwin?Or Claus?

Chu Yangbing was in a complicated mood. No matter which of these two people it was, it was hard for him to imagine their emotions when they drew this picture.

"This may be a trigger point." Lu Feishen looked at the portrait of the four people and said, "Let me come. If there is a trigger point in the piano room, let Cheng Jianyuan come. You should not be exposed to hallucinations anymore."

"I can." Chu Yangbing said.

"No." Lu Feishen refused. He said, "You resonate too strongly with the hallucination. Think about Kerwin, this is not a good thing."

Lu Feishen's refusal of Chu Yangbing was also out of safety considerations. The hallucination they saw through the trigger point was the reappearance of what Kerwin or Clauris had experienced.If Cthulhu is really waking up, someone like Chu Yangbing, who has a great resonance for hallucinations, might not be able to sustain it mentally.

Cheng Jianyuan also agreed with Lu Feishen's words, and Chu Yangbing could only accept it.

Lu Feishen reached out to take down the painting on the wall, and the next moment the hallucinations surged.

Lu Fei looked at the peaceful portrait of four people in his hand, and suddenly the background was filled with blood.

The four people who were originally smiling happily also underwent terrifying changes. There was a long and narrow cut on the wrist of the father, and he was holding a statue of Cthulhu in his bleeding hand. His face was gloomy and pale; She suddenly put on a black robe, and inside the black robe was a tattered body; Claire's expression was full of ferocious resentment and jealousy; the gloomy and pale Kerwin was empty and indifferent.

This is the truth of this painting. Suddenly, an invisible force writes a short poem on the painting.

[I stumble up the pitted mountains

The barren and barren mountains reign over the plain

I drank heavily from the foul-smelling spring

The gurgling spring water seeps into the swamp and even the ground

There is something living in the boiling lake, I dare not turn my eyes there anymore]

Chu Yangbing and Cheng Jianyuan disappeared from Lu Feishen's sight. In front of the wall with paintings, Kerwin stood there, looking back at Lu Feishen.

The moment he and Kerwin looked at each other, the illusion switched again.

He saw rugged and ferocious mountains, boiling and foul-smelling springs, murmurs in the depths of the swamp... After a series of hallucinations full of symbols came to an end, Kerwin made that indescribable voice again.

He's talking to another monster, being, god, Great Old One, call it what you want, you know what it is anyway.His voice is low and his tone is gentle. He is like a priest praising in front of the cross, or a shaman singing in front of the immortal.

He is reminiscent of the rulers before the barren world, and the most primitive fears of those people, for the unknown, for power, and for the dark and mysterious universe.

Lu Feishen was indifferent throughout the whole process, and the hallucinations had little effect on him, unless he directly received Cthulhu's mental wave, he had no resonance for this hallucination transformed by Kerwin.

After the hallucination was over, Lu Feishen turned his head and told the two of the hallucinations he experienced and the verse, saying, "It's ok, let's go to the piano room."

The three went to the piano room again. This time, the three found a broken sheet of music under the piano cover in the piano room. Cheng Jianyuan tried to press a few syllables on the piano according to it, but was also involved in hallucinations.

This time the poem is:

[I have searched in the hall where the vines cling

I once wandered in front of an empty hall

where the moon wriggles out of the valley

Moonlight illuminates objects hanging on the wall

The miscellaneous embroidered tapestry is full of outlines, I have no courage to recall those strange shapes]

Cheng Jianyuan was drawn into the overgrown primeval forest by hallucinations, and he went deep into the rainforest with the change of perspective, and finally saw the suspected temple of sacrifice in the deepest part of the rainforest valley.Black shadows kept passing by in the rainforest, and fear enveloped his mind.

He also saw Kerwin sitting in front of the piano. Kerwin was repeating something, but unfortunately he didn't understand.

Cheng Jianyuan came out of the hallucination, sweating like rain on his body, and he couldn't hold on because of too much mental exhaustion.

It happened to be night, and the three of them made an appointment to meet in the living room tomorrow, and then returned to the guest bedroom to rest.

Back in the bedroom, Chu Yangbing asked Lu Feishen: "You said you know where the missing manuscript is, where exactly is it?"

Lu Fei rubbed his hair deeply and said, "Sleep, I'll tell you tomorrow."

The next morning, the three of them met in the living room after eating the breakfast prepared by Ralph, and then searched the villa again. After confirming that there were no other clues to trigger the point, the three of them returned to the living room again.

Lu Feichen suddenly called Ralph who was about to leave, and said, "Wait, is Ralph right? Aren't you going to hand over the manuscript?"

Ralph paused as he was about to leave, he didn't turn around, but the unconscious tense back exposed him.

"You should know that the three of us are detectives hired by Clauris. Guess what and how much we learned in the villa?" Lu Feishen's words induced Raelph to turn his head to look at him. The husband was speechless but stabbed at them like a wolf.

Lu Fei was not afraid, and he continued: "We found Klauris' diary, which said that you were a wild child picked up by Kerr Wen and his father from the sea, and I also found it in the newspaper clippings. An old piece of news. The title of the news is like this: "XXXX, XX, XX, XX, the Loren cruise ship was killed in the deep sea." "

Having said that, Ralph strode up to the three of them, his muscles tensed, and his eyes became more and more fierce as he looked at them.

Lu Feishen enjoys this kind of attention. He likes to reveal the past that they tried their best to hide in front of others. What he did to Song Xingyue back then is what he did to Ralph now.

"Let's make a reasonable guess. I guess your father was a sailor or fisherman, and he went out to sea with the Loren. After the Loren went out to sea, he encountered supernatural events. You must know that Cthulhu is sealed in the sea outside. When the position of the stars is correct Cthulhu can break free from the seal." Lu Feishen said: "Murphy's Law, as long as it is unfortunate, no matter how likely it is to happen, someone will encounter it."

Lu Feishen crossed his fingers and said: "Your father, unfortunately, encountered this incident. He may have come back alive and told you what happened to him. But people who are affected by Cthulhu are extremely dead. Crazy, it is very likely that your father died soon, and you became an orphan. As a researcher of occult science, Kerwin's father captured the strangeness behind the Loren's rocking, and he took his sensitive elder son Come here to investigate."

"They have contacted you and asked you about your father's experience. After learning that you have become an orphan, they took you home and raised you." Lu Feishen said: "You are grateful to Kerrwen and his father, but when you After arriving at this new home, you find that this home is shrouded in the same shadow. The master, mistress and their children of this family are stepping into the abyss step by step."

"The male protagonist who thinks he is calm and rational and only researches for research is deeply involved. The female protagonist, as a fanatic, started to contact the cult and held cruel sacrificial ceremonies. And Kerwin, also heard a long time ago from the abyss calling."

Ralph stood in the living room, his muscular body tensed all over, his reaction let Lu Feishen know that he was right.

"Maybe you have thought about saving this family, but things are still stepping into an irreversible abyss. The hostess died in an evil sacrifice ceremony, and the host was stimulated to go crazy because of what he saw. He committed suicide after moving here. Death. Kerwin is getting more and more crazy, you can’t speak, and you can’t communicate with Kerwin, so you can only do your best to take care of Kerwin’s daily life.”

"Later, you who often came and went to Kerwin's room discovered that Clauris actually stole Kerwin's manuscripts and occupied all the honors that should have belonged to him." Lu Feishen said: "But in order to maintain Kerwin's life What you need, you have been patient, but this patience was broken by an incident."

Lu Feichen suddenly stretched his legs and kicked the coffee table in the living room away. After the toothache sound of tugging, the carpet under the coffee table was covered with brown stains.

"Editor Burton found out that something strange was visiting his home. He might have had a dispute with Claus. Regardless of the process, Claus accidentally killed him and planned to put the blame on Kerwin." Lu Feishen Said: "You can tolerate Klauris occupying all of Kerwin's honor, but you can't tolerate her slandering Kerwin, especially when Kerwin is still inexplicably missing."

"You're a mute, you can't say this to outsiders, so...you hid the last manuscript that Kerwin left behind."

The superficial plot of this story is actually very simple. There are only three people in the villa, Clauris does not know where the manuscript is, Kerwin is missing, and the only person who may have hidden the manuscript is actually Ralph.Thanks to the little angels who voted for me~
