Chapter 165 The Mouth of a Madman
After listening to Sam's narration, Lu Li belatedly realized that the world he was in now seemed to be related to the Cthulhu Mythos.
New prions?
A masterpiece of the ancient evil gods.
Turned into a half-human half-fish monster, alienated body?
A masterpiece of the ancient evil gods.
[The universe is vast and boundless, and the evil gods are shadowy, standing here, looking down on everything, and human beings are like innocent children who have no power to fight back, they can only silently pray and survive in ignorance]
The above is Lu Li's personal understanding of the world of Cthulhu.
Frankly speaking, ever since he was admitted to this group of mysterious colleges, he had also imagined that one day, he would be forced to come to this mysterious world with an ancient evil god as the background to make a movie.
As for the ending, either become a lunatic, or become a corpse, or worse, become an ugly monster without reason.
But, is it necessary to come so early?
This is a freshman!
The principal is afraid that he is not avenging his own personal revenge.
wrong……
Judging from the conclusions drawn from the last exam, the headmaster really wanted to train new students. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to hold another exam in a vigorous manner after a major teaching accident occurred.
With this in mind, Lu Li forced himself to calm down, sat on the mattress, and began to reorganize his thoughts.
First of all, the world I am currently in is definitely related to the ancient evil gods.
This can be seen from Sam's personal experience:
I accept--
looking for horror novelist kane
At this stage, that is, the first stage, he is very sensible, questioning the publishing company, looking down on the so-called horror novelist Kane, and of course, not liking the female editor Darlene very much.
Then, find the clues——
Go to Weird Town (where Kane may be hiding)
This is the second stage. On the road, he saw a lot of unimaginable things, but he was still able to maintain the most basic sense.
Finally, arriving at the destination——
wished to see Kane
This is the third stage, the female editor Darlene turned into a monster, of course, there must be other things that shattered the world view, and caused Sam to become what he is now.
simply put.
This journey of exploration is the process of investigator Sam's SAN value falling from full to infinitely close to 0.
From this it can be concluded that:
Kane is the central figure in this incident. On the surface, he is a horror novelist with many fans, but behind the scenes, he is related to the evil gods, and he is likely to be their chosen spokesperson.
However, is there any necessary connection between ancient gods and horror novels?
Thinking of this, Lu Li subconsciously touched his inner pocket, and the empty cigarette box made him a little disappointed.
"Mr. Neil, what do you mean by the direction and ending of the plot?"
His gaze turned to the corner of the wall, where Sam Neal was trembling all over, drawing a picture—it was still a black cross symbolizing suffering and hope.
However, this time, when he heard Lu Li's question, his SAN value completely dropped to zero, and he began to laugh sharply, opening his mouth wider and wider, presenting a strange angle.
Really crazy?
At this moment, like a real madman, Sam was laughing hysterically, even crying, laughing until he couldn't breathe.
It's hard to imagine that he was still smoking a cigarette just now, narrating his own story in a low voice.
Could it be that some sentence stimulated this guy?
Lu Li stood up, thinking about the cause and effect.
The novelist, where the plot goes, the ending, and the private eye Sam who becomes a madman.
What exactly did he see that could ruin a rational detective?
At this time, Sam Neal's madness seemed to be getting worse. He laughed hoarsely and tilted his head back, as if mocking someone:
"Sutter Kane! How did it end?"
"Did this damn fake doctor appear in that book?"
In the room, the temperature dropped a bit.
Something flashes by and casts shadows on the wall.
Almost at the same time, Lu Li turned his head and looked behind him.
There is nothing there.
Illusion?
Impossible, since the exchange of werewolf blood, there have been no auditory hallucinations or visual hallucinations.
Could it be that I have also been eroded and started losing SAN values?
A terrible thought came to Lu Li's mind, he took a long breath and told himself in his heart: don't be afraid.
Because, judging from last night's experience, fear is very likely to become a nutrient that breeds weirdness.
In this way, time passed by every minute and every second.
In the ward, the atmosphere became more and more oppressive.
However, after taking a few deep breaths, Lu Li regained his composure. After all, he has insight far beyond ordinary people, and behind him stands the omnipotent headmaster.
"I'm afraid that even dying happily in this exam has become a luxury."
With a self-mockery, Lu Li devoted himself to the investigation again.
In fact, Sam's crazy words just now revealed a huge amount of information.
How it ended.
that book.
Sutter Kane.
A terrible conjecture emerged in Lu Li's mind.
Sam Neill is actually a character written by the horror novelist Kane. What he sees and thinks are all pre-set.
Those monsters and the sights he saw along the way really drove his San value crazy, but realizing the truth was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Yes!
Not only that, but the weird old lady who declared [Sart Kane won't let me out] is also a fictional character.
wrong!
Strictly speaking, she is a virtual character who can be touched and can really affect reality.
at the same time.
Remote Innsmouth State, Foundation branch site.
The support crew is watching the midday news.
In this site, they are the only ones left, because all field investigators mysteriously disappeared.
To make matters worse, the taboo novel, which the Foundation has been blocking publication, will officially go on sale in three days.
All efforts have come to naught.
Those capitalists have already fallen into madness in order to gain profits. They persuaded the high level of the federal government to agree to publish the new work "Mouth of the Madman" by horror master Sart Kane.
"Scattered unrest continues in eastern cities."
"Crazy fans have besieged bookstores demanding an early release of horror novelist Sutter Kane's new book."
"Violent incidents were also reported in Boston and Philadelphia, with numerous police officers attacked and more than a thousand Sutter Kane fans taken to jail."
"What happened to our world?"
The questioning voice of the news host came from the TV.
Inside a bookstore two blocks away.
The shopkeeper locked the door tightly, holding Kane's new work, and had a sneak peek.
【The investigator stood on the edge of the gap, staring into the dark abyss. That world opened its mouth wide. At this moment, he widened his eyes and did not scream.
But those hideous evil creatures screamed at him as the investigators saw them emerge from the viscous dark abyss, blocking the white light of the bones accumulated by endless centuries of filth. He backed away slowly, and hordes of monsters rushed towards him through the shimmering light from the abyss, towards our world]
As he read this, his eyes began to bleed.
