"Dr. Armitage, you said that your grandfather spent his whole life fighting against the dark power of Yog-Sothoth. Why do you think so?"
Gu Jun asked loudly, but in fact, he didn't expect the old man to change his mind, he just wanted to delay for a while, so that he could think of a solution.
"There is nothing good or bad about power, power is power." Dr. Armitage approached with the quaint Necronomicon, and there was a trace of strangeness on his refined old face, "I am in a different situation than my grandfather was then. , naturally have to make different choices.”
The old doctor sprinkled some white fine powder around the ritual imprint on the ground, and explained to the two of them: "This is a combination of Dunwich's soil and some alchemy, which allows us to connect with the unfinished ritual. , it is easier to touch the power of the Father.”
Gu Jun looked at Hannah with a questioning look.
"Brother, I can't even understand what you are saying." Hannah shrugged with difficulty, "I think we are going to die here."
die? Gu Jun looked at the "Necronomicon". If this old man completes the ceremony, death may be the luckiest result.
A man and a woman, they are sacrifices at all, even if they can leave here after the ceremony, only George Armitage can leave.
He glanced around, looked at the ritual mark on the ground again, and suddenly saw something, it was a dividing cross symbol.
It is mixed among the many symbols stacked on top of each other. If you don't pay attention carefully, it is easy to think that it is part of other symbols.
Divided cross symbol, cryptic signal...
Thinking of this, Gu Jun was in a complicated state of mind. It was still a mystery who was behind the mysterious signal, and it was possible for the Yisi people or Nyarlathotep.
He advised himself not to be overwhelmed by hatred, calm down, calm down.
When he suddenly discovered this symbol just now, there seemed to be a surge in his mind.
After waking up in the lunatic asylum ward in this world, whether Gu Jun wants to touch or use the supernatural power of spells, he doesn't feel anything. His mind is empty, as if there is no such mysterious thing in the universe, but The feeling that arises now...
Contact, accept.
This divides the cross symbol.
At the same time, Dr. Armitage sprinkled all the powder, came to the center of the ritual seal, took a long and slow breath, and relaxed himself.
"Jem, Hannah, I know a little about history, linguistics, literature, philosophy, medicine, and miscellaneous things."
The old doctor said that Gu Jun and Gu Jun knew more than a little, and George Armitage was one of the most knowledgeable people in the world today.
"But I still can't understand Brother Whateley, that is a creation of God, and only a creation of God can be as my grandfather said."
Having said this, Dr. Armitage began to chant, reciting the dark hymn that he had already learned by heart.
The lights in the room flickered in the dark, and the doctor's voice quickly changed from gentle and honest to deep and hoarse, harsher than the chirping of vultures.
The doctor's throat rose and fell violently, as if there was a vortex stirring inside, and he made a sound that did not belong to human beings: "Igo Nai... Igo Nai... Sverskenha... Yog-Sothos... Ibsenke... Heai-Nigerkdra..."
The sound seemed vague, but also loud.
The ceremonial imprint on the floor gradually had a strange light, extending from the floor, the entire room was immediately eroded, and the dome was trembling.
Suddenly, an inexplicable stench emerged from the air, and Dr. Armitage's old face swelled instantly, and the tissue of the skin and flesh also changed, like rotten jelly, like countless wriggling thick ropes twisted together, Two eyes protruded, and there seemed to be eyes behind the eyes.
I don't know if such a change was expected by the old man.
But the ritual worked, and the old man had touched the edge of the power he craved.
He became crazy, became ecstatic, and also mixed with some instinctive pain and fear, his entire head, neck and upper body were rapidly changing.
The deformity and filth were just the beginning, and with a sudden bang, the doctor's well-fitting black suit burst open, and dozens of gray-green long tentacles with blood-drenched mouthparts broke out from his chest and stretched outwards. , the arrangement seems to obey some kind of cosmic symmetry that humans cannot understand.
But these tentacles seem to be mutated by the intestines in the abdomen, stretching out and lengthening, waving, opening and closing.
If other UM students saw this scene, they would definitely not believe that this half-human monster was their beloved George Armitage.
"n'gai, n'ghaghaa, bugg-shoggog, y'hah; Yog-Sothoth, Yog-Sothoth..."
The more Dr. Armitage suffered, the more ecstatic he became. Dozens of eyes protruded from his eye sockets in a row, as if seeing dimensions that humans cannot understand.
Gu Jun and Hannah were watching this terrifying scene, the time and space around them began to distort, and there were all kinds of strange sounds hitting their eardrums, the ropes that bound them seemed to melt into their bodies, and it seemed that they were also To become that monster.
The old doctor's crazy chanting sound was already louder than the rumbling thunder, and it exploded one after another, shaking the minds of the two of them.
Blood and pus flowed on the floor, covering the ritual marks.
Gu Jun has already experienced many battles, but he was still shocked by the scene in front of him. Looking at Dr. Armitage, he seemed to see Wilbur Whateley from back then.
The old man has gone completely crazy, maybe he went crazy during the process of "The King in Yellow", or maybe his mind changed during the study of the Dunwich incident.
For a moment, Gu Jun felt the crazy thoughts of the old doctor. The old doctor wanted to become a half-human half-god, he wanted to have that bloodline.
The blood of Yog-Sothoth, the great Lord of Time and Space, the more he studied Wilbur Whateley, the more he envied Wilbur Whateley.
And Wilbur Whateley's more alien twin brother...
Dr. Armitage was jealous of their bodies, hated their incompetence, and had godly blood, so they both died tragically.
Why do incompetent people have such opportunities, why can learned people only live a mediocre life in this world.
The old Doctor wanted the demigod for himself, and he would bring the light of Yog-Sothoth to this world, and to all worlds.
Gu Jun gritted his teeth, feeling that his mind was also becoming frantic, being swirled by Dr. Armitage's thoughts like a torrent of mud and rocks.
This is a chapter of "The King in Yellow"... Dr. George Armitage is the main character...
It's time to mess up this ceremony, and there will be no chance in the future.
No matter what happened to Hannah, Gu Jun condensed his mental strength, and gathered all his energy towards the cross symbol on the ground, sensing and calling, no matter who was behind it, he would be dragged into this abyss.
Come, taste the power of Yog-Sothoth...
