National Fortune Bonus: After the new player awakens at the maximum level, he will kill like crazy

"Based on the clues we have, a god in the Ninth Heaven has been controlled by a force from outside the universe. This god disappeared three months ago after a fierce battle with the Lord of Light on the outskirts of the Gray Realm. That battle plunged the entire Gray Realm into darkness for a quarter of an hour, and we could all feel the powerful fluctuations of that force."

Su Mohui didn't know what to say for a moment. She took a deep breath, calmed down what she had learned so far, looked at the three people present with a serious look, and said, "The name of that extraterrestrial power is the god Cthulhu... and from what I know so far, they have already colluded deeply with the resentful power of this world."

Ji Lu and Ji Shuang were the spirits of characters that evolved from the Thousand Character Classic. They had lived in the universe for many years and naturally knew what this Cthulhu god represented.

It is a synonym for despair and destruction, a symbol of chaos and disorder, and a terrifying existence that can plunge the entire world into endless darkness!

Ji Lingguang was born in the Gray Realm, but was thrown to the First Continent by the Jiang Family and the Lord of Light when he was young. Later, he was used by the people of the Xipan Church. Most of the things he dealt with were between the three continents.

His knowledge of the mysterious and terrifying god Cthulhu was limited to the vague rumors spoken casually by some members of the Sipan Church, and his understanding of the god was very limited.

However, what he didn't know was that the puppet body given by Heaven knew a lot.

Just as everyone was immersed in the great shock brought by the god Cthulhu, a faint halo suddenly appeared on the empty chair next to them.

Amidst the flickering halo, a young man in a black and white robe emblazoned with bamboo patterns appeared out of thin air. He casually imitated Ji Lingguang, crossing his legs and gently waving his hand. The teacup in front of him instantly transformed into a simple bamboo tube.

He lowered his eyes slightly, picked up the bamboo tube and stroked it, the light in his eyes hidden under his drooping eyelids, his voice clear yet low:

"When I was first created, I was endowed with special powers. I still remember that at that time, someone asserted that if I were bewitched by the power of resentment and become a demon, I would become Cthulhu's most powerful weapon in attacking the Nine Heavens. They said that once my power was completely consumed by darkness, no one in the world would be able to stop me..."

In order to distinguish it, Ji Lingguang named this puppet body Xiaoguang.

At this moment, Xiaoguang slowly raised his head, and his eyes gently swept over the faces of Su Mohui and Ji Lingguang one by one. There was a bit of warmth in his eyes that only close people could have.

He sighed softly and continued, "Fortunately, during the first test run, although I was briefly possessed by the devil, I did not truly come into contact with the god Cthulhu. During that possession, my consciousness sank into an endless abyss of darkness, but I could still clearly feel the struggle and resistance within myself..."

Listening to what Xiaoguang said, Su Mohui could roughly guess: when the large-scale online game called "Fate! All is Illusion" became popular, Xiaoguang was designed as a murderous puppet boss.

But what they didn't know was that when the game website shut down the domain network after Su Mohui was electrocuted, Xiaoguang fell into standby mode, transforming from a string of code into a wooden puppet with only a faint spiritual consciousness.

At that time, the main system of the "main bureau" had locked him for a long time. With Su Mohui's travel, he was also brought into this world by system No. 000.

Now, when talking about that dark past again, a complex and indistinguishable emotion flashed in Xiaoguang's eyes. Among them, there was both relief that he had not completely sunk into depravity, and deep worry about the unknown future. It seemed that the god Cthulhu lurking in the darkness would extend his evil tentacles again at any time.

For some reason, a cold wind suddenly blew in from outside the courtyard, making everyone's clothes rustle and blowing away the already tense and quiet atmosphere in the courtyard.

The complex emotions in Xiaoguang's eyes had not yet completely faded away, but he suddenly stood up and looked towards the door vigilantly, his posture as if he was about to face a fierce battle in the next second.

Ji Lu and Ji Shuang exchanged a glance, a hint of uneasiness flashing across their eyes. Ji Lu raised her hand and gently waved it, and a gentle spiritual barrier instantly rose in the courtyard, enveloping everyone.

Ji Shuang quickly took out an ancient jade plate from his sleeve, muttering something, trying to find the source of the unusual movement in the outside world through the jade plate.

The chill wind blew through the courtyard like a ferocious beast, sending fallen leaves flying and sending everyone's hearts tumbling. Su Mohui and Ji Lingguang rose to their feet almost simultaneously, their movements swift and agile, like those of well-trained warriors.

In an instant, two long swords emitting dazzling light appeared in their hands. The swords trembled slightly, buzzing in the cold and gloomy wind, as if they had found allies to fight side by side and couldn't wait to drink the enemy's blood in the upcoming battle.

However, at this tense moment, the small system in Su Mohui's mind seemed to have sensed something and silently appeared in the prompt bar, updating a system message:

[Please rest assured, host. There are currently no abnormalities in the Gray Realm. The Lord of Light is leading people to search for the entrance to the Destined Space on the outskirts of the Gray Realm.]

Su Mohui quickly finished browsing and breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up at Ji Lingguang, Ji Lu, and Ji Shuang beside her and was about to say a few words of comfort to reassure everyone, but at this moment -

A faint, eerie chanting voice drifted in like a ghost. The voice was low and hoarse, as if coming from the depths of an ancient and decaying abyss, carrying with it an endless mystery and eeriness.

No one knew where it came from, but it was so clear that every note fell into everyone's ears accurately, which was creepy.

Xiaoguang's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his originally bright eyes were now filled with fear and panic.

He subconsciously bit his lower lip, his teeth almost sinking into the pale skin. Trying to calm himself, his voice trembled slightly, "This sound... I heard it when I was possessed. This must be the followers of the god Cthulhu performing some kind of evil ritual."

Upon hearing this, Ji Lu's already furrowed brows instantly twisted into the shape of a "川" character. Worried, she quickly turned to look at Ji Shuang and asked anxiously, "Did the jade plate respond?"

I don’t know if it’s because of the hot weather or nervousness, but Ji Shuang’s forehead is covered with fine beads of sweat.

She gripped the jade plate tightly in both hands, staring intently at it, her expression tense and utterly nervous. "The jade plate shows that a powerful dark force is rapidly approaching, right at the edge of the Gray Realm. This force is extremely evil, and we cannot easily contend with it."

The situation grew increasingly tense, like a fully drawn bow, poised to unleash a fatal arrow at any moment. At this critical juncture, the system's voice suddenly rang out in Su Mohui's mind once again.
