"It's almost time to arrive."
After stopping the car, Lin You was not in a hurry to open the door, she tapped the edge of the steering wheel with her knuckles, looking at the scene ahead, "Is that right there?"
Jian Mingjia silently wiped off her cold sweat, her heart was hanging in her throat for more than an hour, and nothing happened to her thanks to her good fortune.
"yes."
She didn't even bother to go to the note, she exhaled and said, "It won't be anywhere else."
I saw this populated place within a few miles, and there was no need to check it out. The group of people had a premonition on the road.
The skull is like a pendant-type encyclopedia. It pointed out halfway, that if you want to see Yog-Sothoth, the most important medium besides sunny weather is the specially built stone tower.
Following the direction Gu Heng pointed out to them, after the first 20 minutes of driving out of the urban area, they caught a glimpse of a tower in the distance. Now that they were getting closer, they saw a stone tower more than ten meters high standing in the forest.
Lin You was the first to get out of the car.
The stone tower seems to have been newly built not long ago, and the plaster between the gaps is evenly spread, and there are almost no traces of wind and rain.
— This is what Zuo reported to them after stretching out his elders as a telescope. At the same time, it also said that it saw faint figures moving around.
The core members who participated in the club were obviously more reluctant to reveal their identities. They wore tighter hoods than the group of black goats, and they were busy leaving deep marks one after another on the tower.
Luo Jing: "...what are you doing?"
"What's that called, draw a circle to curse you?" Zuo guessed wildly.
The skull immediately snorted. He still remembers his grudges, and when he encountered an opportunity to show off, he immediately regained his position consciously and glanced at the other party haughtily.
"It is to further open the door leading to here."
It said: "Also to enchant the stone tower, the more magic they infuse, the more likely the summon will succeed."
It's the same with the young black goat and the hundreds of liters of blood.
It was also because it was a sunny day, so they had to park the car in the middle of the woods, using layers of green shade and rough tree trunks as cover, so that the group of people could not see clearly from a distance. Condition.
"What should we do now," Geng Qinghe asked nervously, "destroy that stone pagoda?"
But they didn't have explosives.
Lin You was silent for a while.
Seeing that the ceremony was about to be held, it was impossible to get enough explosives in a short time, and it was almost impossible to destroy the stone tower.
So after much deliberation, Nyarlathotep just muttered an idea at this moment, she sounds feasible.
Provided that what he said was true.
"They should have somewhere to temporarily store their stuff," she asked. "Do you see where it is?"
"There seems to be..."
Jian Mingjia suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, she looked up and down Lin You vigilantly, "What are you doing?"
Lin You: "No reason."
"Oh, Sister You, I saw it!" Geng Qinghe, with his sharp eyes, pointed at her immediately when he heard her ask, "It's in that tree—"
Before he could finish speaking, Jian Mingjia knocked off his hand.
"You are stupid, let her answer the question." She turned her head, "What are you discussing with that Naia?"
Lin You shrugged, with a face full of no comment, "Won't there be no surprises if you say it?"
Jian Mingjia: "..."
Surprised, I'm afraid it's not frightened.
"I saw it." Thanks to Geng Qinghe's pointing, Lin You saw the wooden house not far from the stone pagoda, turned his head and stretched out his hand to Jian Mingjia, "Come here, give me the things, I promise to solve it."
"..."
The latter stared at her for a long time.
"There's nothing I can do with you." Everyone knew what they wanted from her at this time, she covered her face and sighed, took it out of her backpack and stuffed it into Lin You's hand, "Take it, take it, just So many."
"That's not a lot."
Lin You weighed the bag, "It's enough."
It's full of "Egyptian powder" that can hurt Yog-Sothoth.
"ah?"
"Go," Lin You pointed to the wooden house, "Go over there."
They didn't dare to go to the front, and picked an opportunity when no one was near the wooden house for the time being, and walked around behind the window.
The windows were locked from the inside, but that didn't bother Luo Jing. Zuo pressed one of his tentacles into a flat and slender shape, rubbed it against the seam, and forcibly unscrewed the window bolt.
"Are you sure you want to go in?" Jian Mingjia lowered her voice.
"Of course," Lin You said, "wait by the side, give me a break, and remind me if someone comes in."
Without further ado, she turned over and entered the wooden house.
After landing as silently as possible, Lin You looked at the decoration here.
The house is not big, but it is also divided into several rooms, which is in line with her expectations at the beginning - building this stone tower and making these preparations cannot be completed in a day or two, and they will definitely find a place to prepare the things to be used in advance.
Listening to the movement, Lin You was sure that there was no one inside, and quietly walked around the first two evacuated rooms, and caught a glimpse of what she suspected to be looking for in the third room.
Sunlight refracts in through the glass, reflecting the dust in the air. Opposite the door was a bookshelf, with a few books scattered on it, and the spines of the books were full of unintelligible characters. There was a wardrobe next to it. Lin You opened the door and found two robes with hoods hanging. And in the corner, there was a bulging sack.
After untiing the rope that tied the sack, she saw piles of white ash inside.
According to Nyarlathotep, they would sprinkle the dust for enchanting after drawing the formation.
—Because he was the one who gave them the trick.
Lin Youxin said that this is really "I sell myself".
After stirring a few times, she quickly re-tied the bag.
Then just pull out this window again—
Lin You suddenly heard a stone hit the outer wall.
— Someone came in.
She was about to retreat, but she never expected that at the same time, the guy who was approaching step by step after entering the wooden house also heard the sound.
"Who?" he asked warily. "Is anyone there?"
It's over.
Lin You thought.
He would definitely come to check the place where the supplies were kept as soon as possible. She didn't want to arouse their suspicion about whether the sack had been tampered with, so she had to pretend that she ran away in a hurry before doing anything.
But she herself is still wounded, and she can't run fast even in a battle-damaged state, so she might not be able to outrun them—
Thinking in just a few seconds, Lin You saw the cabinet in the corner, and her heart sank, and she grabbed the bookcase on the other side—
There was a loud bang, and together with the bookcase, the spines of the books with obscure words fell down one after another, which really attracted the man's attention even more. The sound of footsteps outside the door also became noisy, and she pushed open the wooden window straight away.
Lin You was still very calm, and climbed into the upper wardrobe of Jin Kuai, who was nearly one person tall, in three steps and two steps. She tilted her head and put her ears on the top of the cabinet, facing the two robes.
The second she closed the cabinet door, the believers broke in.
"Over there!" cried someone who saw the wide open window, "run away into the woods!"
Lin You held her breath and peeped at the movement outside through the long gap between the cabinet doors.
Two people turned directly out of the window, and those behind them looked at the messy books on the ground, trying to count them with their eyes, as if they believed that the sack was untouched, and the guy who broke in was trying to steal the classics.
One of them spoke.
"No more chasing."
His voice was not loud, but it was enough to shock the few believers who wanted to rush to the woods to stop.
"Get this out," said the leader-like figure, "and it's time to summon 'the one' now."
"Just tell 'the one' that the thief is a human victim and he'll go find it."
They removed the sack.
After the last person left the room, Lin You waited for almost two minutes to confirm that no one would look back, and then quickly flipped out. She paid attention to the actions of the believers, and saw her teammates waving to her in the bushes again, and hurried over.
Lin You noticed that someone was missing.
"Where's Geng Qinghe?" She asked.
"As soon as you open the window and you don't see anyone, I'll guess what's going on." Jian Mingjia said, she was quite relieved that she had caught up with the train of thought last time, "Let him wander around the woods, he can handle those two people - what about here?"
No wonder.
"fine."
Lin You lowered her body behind the bushes, "Just wait and see the good show."
The enchanting dust packed in the sack was poured layer by layer on the summoning circle carved in the soil. They murmured incantations to invite the gods, and with the traces drawn as the boundary, the first gleam of light emerged.
Just like that, the gate connecting different dimensions was slowly opened, and an invisible force scraped across the stone tower in the center of the formation.
The stone tower broke from the middle, stretched section by section, and with this as the center of the circle, the light wave suddenly oscillated.
Yog-Sothoth passed through the opened gate of the Summoning Circle, through the thin layer of dust that had sprinkled on it—
All of a sudden, there were frantic shouts from believers.
"So what if there are foreigners in the way?!"
No one has noticed what's wrong yet.
"This is our victory!" Finally got to see the worshiped god, the leader raised his hands high, and he shouted frantically with tears in his eyes.
"We had the last laugh. To the great Yog-Sothoth!"
The cultists also raised their necks in the same way.
"To the great—"
Their voices stopped.
The spheres exuding huge brilliance gathered together, and the last Sanzhu Yuanshen was burned so badly that his whole body was deformed.
It's almost melted.
He obviously has no eyes, but when he hangs high above the heads of the leading believers, it makes people feel that he is staring at them sullenly.
Shrouded by a growing shadow, the leader who originally turned his back to him finally sensed something was wrong and turned his head around a little bit.
"Hello… "
In the grass not far away, Jian Mingjia hesitated and asked, "What did you do?"
"oh."
Lin You responded.
"I mixed all the Egyptian powder into that sack," she said cheerfully.
Thanks to them for sprinkling it so evenly, the Yogurt Bubbles made for a perfect full body bath.
