[Comprehensive Yingmei] Really nothing happened

The way they die - very confusingly, each one manifests differently.The only thing they had in common was within three months of the start of their study.However, this obviously cannot be taken as any strong evidence.

In this regard, Jormungandr has some ideas of his own.

Perhaps compared with humans and other family members, she is countless times stronger than them, but among the old masters, her strength is nothing.

The only thing she deserves credit for is her own venom - a venom she had back when she was still called SCP-722.As long as a creature is contaminated with venom, no matter how low the concentration is, it will die for unknown reasons after a period of time.

The content recorded in those materials is related to her-this is the only connection.Besides, she had never even seen those documents with her own eyes, let alone who wrote them.

So, why do these documents themselves have the same characteristics as hers?Regarding this point, Ye Mengjia had to think about it, but he didn't intend to get to the bottom of it.

The universe is big.It has bred countless lives and hidden countless mysteries.For most lives, these secrets may not be touched even half of them in a lifetime.

Yermungad does not possess all the knowledge like Yog-Sothoth, but as the Old One, she has almost eternal life. Even if she grinds her time slowly, she will finally find the truth Bar.

Truth, what a beautiful, yet cruel word.

The opposite of truth is a lie.The existence of lies is naturally to cover up the truth.

Everything has two sides, and truth and lies are no exception.For example, the truth sometimes tears a person's heart, but lies are to give someone a firm grip.

For humans, this is the case, and only so.However, for the Old Ones, the situation is somewhat different.

If it is just because of boredom, you exhaust your energy to pursue one doubt after another, and seek the truth one after another... If, just if, one day they solve all the doubts in your heart, then What will happen next?

Now that everything is known...then, there is no need for life to continue, right?

However, as far as the Old Ones are concerned, suicide is almost impossible to happen to them.In fact, they may just behave abnormally for a while (thousands to tens of thousands of years, according to Yemengard's estimate), then calm down and go on with their lives.

However, Ye Mengjiad didn't want to make such a choice.It wasn't going to be an easy time, she knew.

What is the specific reason?She didn't bother to think about it, she just knew that she didn't want to, and that was enough.

……

"Ah, that, sorry..." Jennifer and Jeremy stammered their apologies.Before they finished speaking, their heads could not help but lower their heads.

Treating their family's savior (snake?) as a monster or something... I feel very sorry for him when I think about it.

The other children headed by Buck stood behind them without speaking.

After several young people screamed, Yemengard walked in and lit the kerosene lamp he had bought earlier.

That is, they are still in the tunnel now.

After seeing that he is not a bad person, it is not easy for the child to concentrate, but now it is even more difficult after he suddenly relaxes.Presumably, this is the timing that the unknown creature is looking forward to, right?

Ye Mengjiade raised his eyebrows and said nothing.Her eyes seemed to scan the interior of the tunnel that was not illuminated by lights.

"So, why did you bring them here?" She looked calmly at the children who lived in the small town and met for the first time.

Teenagers: ...Oops, I thought I could fool around.

……

It is said that terrible things happened in this tunnel when Easter was celebrated in the past.They don't know the exact process, but they can be sure that someone disappeared after entering the tunnel, and... never came out again.

Someone vaguely said that on the night they disappeared, they saw some strange things nearby.

He said that he saw a flash of white light at the entrance of the tunnel, and after a while, a "man" with a rabbit's head came out of the tunnel...

Rabbits, Easter, they naturally remembered the legend of the "Easter Bunny", so they arbitrarily drew a "conclusion" that those people were taken away by the Easter Bunny.

Where were they taken?The answer is always unknown.Maybe it's heaven, but maybe it's hell?

Ridiculous, right?However, there is no factual basis, and strange things still happen.Since then, people in this small town have not celebrated Easter again.

Although the development of this small town is a bit backward, it is not isolated to the point of isolation.When going to other places where people gather, the children naturally discovered the difference, and then, driven by curiosity, they got these situations from the adults a little bit...

This is why the tunneling work was never completed and it was not recorded on the map.

……

Jennifer and Jeremy are already dumbfounded.

I thought it was just an adventure, but in the end, there was such an incredible antecedent... It seems that they brought the siblings here, and their motives were not pure.

However, before they had time to say anything, Yemengard suddenly seemed to remember something, holding up a kerosene lamp and shining it towards the tunnel wall.

"When I came in just now, I seemed to see something. At first I thought I was wrong, but..." Ye Mengjiad said nonchalantly, pointing to the wall and said, "Have you heard the adults say this? ?”

On the wall, it seems to be a... mural?

It was a somewhat distorted humanoid pattern.Its upper arm is stretched horizontally, but its forearm is vertically downward. The shape of the place where it should be the legs is somewhat unnatural, and the proportions of the feet are also somewhat distorted.

"???" Everyone showed doubts, obviously they didn't know anything about this strange painting.

"I think the adults here should know about it, but they haven't told you about it." Yemengard said calmly after staring at the pattern for a while.She held up the kerosene lamp and pointed to the pattern: "Look, the scratches on it can't be formed naturally, right?"

The lighting is not strong, but due to the nature of the light source itself, the scratches cast deep shadows on the wall.It looked as if someone wanted to use brutal means to erase its existence at all costs.

If you see a picture with strange shape and monotonous color on the wall, I think 90.00% of five people will subconsciously think that it is the soul painting left by some prehistoric humans.

Archaeologists may have something to say about the significance of this kind of mural, so I won't say anything here, let's get back to the topic.

If it is really the murals left by prehistoric humans, it is conceivable that their size will not be very large, and the position of the pictures will obviously be consistent with the place where they reached when their arms were raised horizontally.The average height of prehistoric humans is lower than that of Homo sapiens, that is, it should be above the elbows and below the shoulders when normal adults stand.

But this humanoid painting... Its size is about the same as that of a normal human being, and it does not have different degrees of distortion like ordinary murals. Outlined according to his figure, then filled with color and drawn.

However, I don't need to say that everyone knows that it is very tiring to keep the two forearms raised horizontally, so the line drawn in this place is logically a little crooked, but it is obvious in this picture It's not like this.

In addition, the color of this picture is painted fairly evenly, no place is thicker, and no place is not covered, just like using the paint bucket function in computer drawing.

At first glance, I don't think it's much, at most it's a little weird.But as carefully observing the details as before, doubts emerged one after another.

Yemengard thought for a while.She stood at the front, and no one saw the unclear expression on her face in the firelight.

She felt that she probably knew how that happened and what kind of ability this creature possessed.

The other people present were not as far ahead as she thought, but the appearance of such a pattern in this kind of place still made them involuntarily have strange associations.

"Then, those people, couldn't be... trapped in the wall, right?" Someone expressed a terrible conjecture in a trembling tone.

Is it a world trapped in a wall and never getting out?

So, those scratches... are the adults who are worried that they will be assimilated by the world in the wall, and then come out and bring them in, so they want to do everything possible to prevent this possibility?

So, if the adults don't tell their descendants about this, they don't want them to repeat such a tragedy, right?

For some reason, in this creepy place, a few young people (indulging in their own imagination) were a little moved for no reason.

They almost forgot that the monster was watching them from the shadows—well, except for Jeremy and Jennifer, whose parents were not local after all.

"No, it's not." Ye Mengjiad looked at them a little confusedly, and shook his head slightly, "I mean..."

She suddenly walked to the other side of the tunnel and held up the kerosene lamp.

Under the light of the fire, another similar pattern came into view.

"These paintings... No, they are not paintings, they are left by those who disappeared."

Young Man: ...isn't that obvious?
