Chapter 1907: Not Far Away
"I knew that kid would create something interesting…"
At the edge of the black landmass, 【Chaos】 held a phone in hand, a row of neat, bright teeth stretching from ear to ear.
On the phone screen was the livestream of the Pioneer Exploration Team. He carefully scrolled through every comment and bullet screen, cheering and applauding from time to time. When he saw something精彩, he even typed rapidly and sent out bullet comments:
【The waves are so big, I'm so scared~ Six-Winged Seraph protect me! Evil spirits, go away! {#prayer} (attached: a photo of Lin Qiye Six-Winged Seraph that was captured)】
【……】
【Wow, such a cool flag! I want to join this special organization too! {#prayer} (attached: a photo of Lin Qiye Six-Winged Seraph that was captured)】
【……】
【Yes yes, I also think there are gods in this world. I've killed several! {#confession} (attached: a photo of Lin Qiye Six-Winged Seraph that was captured)】
【……】
【Oh my god, the entire Japan has turned into ruins! Who did this? So scary~~ {#prayer} (attached: a photo of Lin Qiye Six-Winged Seraph that was captured)】
【……】
【Do you think… if all the myths in the world are real, what about Cthulhu Mythos? {#thinking} (attached: a photo of Lin Qiye Six-Winged Seraph that was captured)】
【……】
【(a photo of Lin Qiye Six-Winged Seraph that was captured)】
Several kilometers away, rolling blood clouds squatted in the deep crater that had been blasted out of the hatching ground, focused on breeding offspring. Giant eggs were thrown into the pit one after another and quickly buried, as if afraid of being discovered.
"Hahaha…"
Hearing the neurotic laughter coming from 【Chaos】 staring at the phone in the distance, a scarlet eyeball turned toward the direction of the sound. 【Chaos】 had skillfully set the Lin Qiye Six-Winged Seraph meme as the lock screen, grinning widely, looking like a fan leader who had lost all reason while chasing an idol.
"Interesting! How truly interesting!" 【Chaos】 stood up, waving arms and dancing as they spoke. "The organization that secretly guards the nation is about to emerge. The hero's deeds are waiting to be discovered… I'm truly curious. What kind of scene will it be when the Six-Winged Seraph Lin Qiye truly appears in everyone's视野?"
"Oh heavens, I can hardly wait to fire the salute for the birth of a legend!!"
On the open ground not far away, Vishnu, who had been sitting cross-legged to recover, heard the voice coming from that direction. His eyes slightly opened, and seeing 【Chaos】 laughing like a madman, his expression became somewhat odd…
Ever since escaping from the Temporal Maze, Vishnu had been wandering in the mist until a mouse bred by An Qingyu found him and brought him back here.
However, at that time, the Cthulhu Faction's nest had already been flattened by Lin Qiye, and the mist had dissipated. Just as he was about to find An Qingyu's true body, the latter was placed under house arrest by 【Chaos】 on the Island, with no one allowed to approach. He could only be detained here by 【Chaos】 as well.
But to Vishnu, none of this really mattered. After all, he had already accepted the "recruitment" by the Cthulhu Faction. It made no difference whether the person above was 【Key to the Gate】 or 【Chaos】… He served the entire Cthulhu Faction mythos.
Of course… after seeing this crazy 【Chaos】, his beliefs began to waver.
Could this看起来敌我不分的疯子 truly lead the Cthulhu Faction to destroy Great Xia? Looking at it, 【Key to the Gate】 seemed much more reliable…
But thinking about how 【Key to the Gate】 was now under house arrest, Vishnu could only sigh. Since he had come this far, he had no other choice.
"You… what was that expression just now?"
Just as Vishnu was about to close his eyes, a voice sounded from behind him, soft and eerie.
A bone-deep chill instantly surged through his entire body. In that moment, even Vishnu, a Supreme God, felt a fatal threat, as if being stared at by some extremely terrifying existence. His abundant divine power instinctively surged forth!
A palm landed on his shoulder, pressing his half-raised body back down. As an诡异的气息 rushed into his body, Vishnu felt his divine power's circulation slow, unable to summon even a trace of strength.
He turned his head in panic, only to see a smiling black face, almost touching his nose.
The impact of this scene was enough to shake the heart of Vishnu, who had seen much in his time. He forced himself to calm down and said in a deep voice:
"No expression."
"Indeed no expression… But I saw your thoughts in your eyes." 【Chaos】 spread his hands open, mimicking in a high-pitched, squeaky voice: "Is this胡言乱语的疯子 really one of the Cthulhu Faction's three pillar gods? He doesn't seem as reliable as 【Key to the Gate】… am I right?"
Vishnu opened his mouth but couldn't refute. For some reason, when he looked into 【Chaos】's eyes, he felt a sensation of being completely seen through.
【Chaos】's smile gradually faded.
He carefully examined the Vishnu before him. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly smiled again.
From Vishnu's perspective, this smile was somewhat unsettling…
"I have a great idea… Would you like to hear it?" 【Chaos】 said slowly.
……
Across the strait.
The massive Gate of Truth wreckage loomed over the entire Island. In the rolling mist, a black-clad figure stood like a boulder, completely motionless.
"S沙沙沙沙…"
The faint sound of static came from the mist. An Qingyu seemed to sense something and turned to look at the factory several hundred meters away.
The mist concentration on this Island had reached levels close to a hundred years ago. The dark gray fog limited visibility to only half a meter. He gently hooked his finger, and several invisible threads pulled. An old-style walkie-talkie flew from the distance into his hand.
"You're recovered?" An Qingyu said, surprised.
"Not fully recovered, but I seem to be able to transmit signals over long distances now… You haven't come back these past few days. I was very worried about you." Jiang Er's somewhat distorted voice came through the walkie-talkie.
Even though the voice was mixed with static and sounded extremely unreal, An Qingyu's pupils still slightly contracted. After a moment of silence, he calmly said:
"I'm fine. I just can't leave here."
"Your hand…"
An Qingyu looked at his own palm. The palm of his left hand and almost his entire forearm had turned into a stone-like grayish white, as if completely fused with the Gate of Truth covering the Island.
An Qingyu didn't explain this. Instead, he hid that hand beneath the black robe and asked:
"Can you connect to the signal on Great Xia's side?"
"Connected, but only some channels." Jiang Er replied. "I listened for a while today. It seems the public knows about the existence of the Night Watch now."
An Qingyu's eyes narrowed slightly. He murmured to himself:
"So it's already progressed to this point… Then the time for 【Chaos】 to make a move shouldn't be far away."
