'wake up!'

'wake up!!'

'wake up!!!'

The ethereal voice of a young girl kept exploding in his mind. Lime, who had been trapped in chaos, felt as if a pair of warm hands had pulled him out of the abyss.

When she came to her senses, she was already in the basement. The torches on all four sides started burning on their own, lighting up the square basement. In front of her was a square altar.

The blood-red flames illuminated the entire basement, making it look particularly weird and disgusting. There was a sticky scarlet liquid on the ground, emitting bursts of foul odor.

And on the broken throne in the center of the altar sat a dried corpse wearing a black cloak.

The shriveled arms and hands had long since rotted and become infested with maggots, while the lower half of the mummy was a grotesque mass composed of countless tentacles and eyeballs.

"Crack!"

Shihui's pupils shrank suddenly and he felt a chill all over his body. He quickly took out his pistol and pointed it at the corpse, trying hard to endure the sour and bitter feeling in his throat to prevent himself from vomiting.

“Squeak~!”

Under her incredulous gaze, the mummy actually slowly raised its right palm towards her, stretching its arm straight, as if to say wait a minute.

The mummy's right arm suddenly broke off and fell to the ground, and then a tentacle covered with eyeballs grew from the broken arm.

It twisted flexibly and reached towards the lime.

"What the hell is this?!"

Shishi took a few steps back in fear, but his back hit the wall.

The eyeball at the top of the tentacle blinked, as if observing Lime, and then it quickly wrapped around Lime's right arm holding the gun.

Shihui tried to break free, but found that the tentacles were extremely strong. The more he struggled, the tighter they tightened, as if his bones would be crushed into pieces.

In this extremely dangerous situation, Shi Hui quickly let go of the revolver, quickly caught the fallen pistol with his left hand, aimed at the opponent's arm and quickly emptied the bullets.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

The gunfire was like a gushing fire snake, and the broken arm that had originally stretched out its tentacles was shattered by the power of the bullet.

After separating from the main body, the tentacles twisted and struggled wildly for a few times before sliding weakly to the ground.

The lime clinging to the wall was breathing heavily. He had never expected that this mummy would have such sanity-destroying tentacles.

"I... have been here, waiting... for a long time."

“My…king!”

The originally silent mummy suddenly spoke again!

But the voice at this time was no longer the mind-distorting and brain-piercing demonic sound as before, but instead it was full of piety and awe to welcome the arrival of a king!

"King? Are you talking about me?"

"Could it be that the previous owner of this body was a king?"

With such complicated emotions in his heart, Shihui did not respond to the mummy. Instead, his brain started to think rapidly, and he even suspected that the owner of this body was also a believer of Cthulhu?

The mummy spoke again: "You... are not my king..., I see..."

“Are there two flowers in the world that are exactly the same…?”

flower? !

That book also mentions flowers, but when he says flowers, does he mean the form or the soul?

"What are you talking about? Who are you waiting for? Are you a believer of the old gods?" Shine asked three questions in succession while quickly reloading the revolver.

"..."

The mummy was silent for a long time before speaking again: "I am here... waiting for the only flower in the world. I am God's... child, but also God's betrayer... Woo woo woo."

Having said this, the mummy actually made an unpleasant and harsh sound, and only stopped crying after a long time.

But Shihui kept her distance from it and had her feet on the steps. She would run up at any time if the situation was not right.

"Don't... fear me, no... you should fear me. I am a foolish fanatic of knowledge... and thus polluted by the old gods..."

The mummy seemed to be talking to itself, and its only remaining arm kept tearing the tentacles of its lower body like a madman. The torn tentacles emitted a strong stench, and the tentacles that fell to the ground seemed to have self-awareness and kept twisting on the ground.

After a long time, it lowered its arms, its tone almost pleading:

"You are... the blessed one, the only one... blessed by Mother. You will eventually become... the new King of Law!"

"New King... Please forgive me for not being able to kneel before you, and forgive me for not being able to witness you... ascend the throne."

"Please... go and look for Mother's daughters... who are waiting for you."

After saying this, the mummy tore open his abdomen, reached in, and tore out a golden line that looked like a spinal nerve. As the golden line was taken out, the mummy's palm dropped completely.

"Whoosh!"

The golden lines seemed to have self-awareness and penetrated into the chest of Lime.

An indescribable feeling slowly extended from her spine, cold, itchy, painful, and more importantly, her body seemed to be filled with energy.

It feels like a dry desert Gobi is welcoming a rainstorm, and everything is welcoming a new life.

Soon, the power completely merged with the lime. As the girl slowly opened her eyes, her golden pupils emitted a faint light, and soon turned back into blood-red pupils.

"Could this mummy be something like a guide?"

With such doubts, Shihui carefully walked towards the completely lifeless corpse. She looked at the other party's robe carefully. Even after who knows how many years, there was still a stream of light similar to magical elements flashing on it.

"Huh? This is it!"

On the palm of the mummy's hand that originally took out the golden line, a ring made of red crystal suddenly appeared.

Under the gaze of the lime eyes, the surface of the ring emitted a blood-red light.

It’s like standing in front of a burning furnace!

"Is it a magic item?"

Shihui glanced at the mummy, then carefully reached out and took the ring from the other's hand.

The originally scorching heat from the ring completely disappeared after it came into contact with her finger.

There was something flowing and connected between her and the ring.

But she couldn't express this feeling correctly. She took a quick look at the ring and put it on the middle finger of her left hand.

Enchantment

As I put on the ring, the girl's voice sounded in my mind again.

Messages coming from nowhere penetrated her mind, as if telling the origin and function of the ring.

"So that's how it is. This ring is like a medium for enchanting items. Simply chanting a spell on the item to be enchanted can quickly increase the weapon's combat power. Unfortunately, it only lasts for thirty seconds."

The ring on her hand is called Heart of Dawn. It is made of the heart of the phoenix as the main material and lava crystal.

Although I don’t know the quality of this ring, the fact that it is made of the heart of a phoenix is ​​enough to tell me how awesome this ring is.

Before leaving, Shi Hui carefully checked again and only left the basement after finding that there were no more props.

The people in the church had been standing at the basement door, waiting for a long time.

"Sister Hilde, you're finally here!"
