My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 34 Full Moon Night
It was steaming inside the Goat Hotel. Kroun squeezed past the two drunkards blocking his way and walked to the counter:
"Old Jason, have those two strangers checked out?"

He came to Geralt to ask if he was willing to be a sparring partner, but he knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

The shop owner scratched his scalp, which shone charmingly under the light, and recalled:

"You're talking about the white-haired guy, right? They went out early in the morning and said they wouldn't come back until tomorrow."

What kind of monster did you find and deal with?
Crown murmured in his heart that the income of a demon hunter depends entirely on killing monsters, selling materials and collecting bounties. There is no fixed income, just like those craftsmen who walk around the streets.

"Would you like a roast leg of lamb? The fat sheep just slaughtered this afternoon is very fresh."

Old Jason started selling his food. In his eyes, the young man in front of him was a man who was willing to spend money.

"Well, forget it, I haven't had any income for a long time recently, but I have to pay cash to buy herbs. Wait until the caravan comes in the spring and then come to your place to improve your life." What Croun said is the truth, but the main thing is not to eat here. The reason is because the quality of the food here is a bit worse than what I cook myself.

The skills of a third-level cooking master are no joke.

"Haha, winter just takes a while to get through."

The two chatted for a few more words, and then Crown said goodbye and left.

. . . .

It was getting dark, and Crown withdrew from his meditation.

For some reason, he was very restless while meditating today and couldn't calm down at all. He tried many methods to no avail.

That kind of impetuous feeling cannot be eliminated at all, but has a tendency to get worse.

It was impossible to continue contemplating in such a state, so he had no choice but to stop.

Youshi is one of the most important moments of his day. The sun rises too late in winter, so his proficiency in the Golden Light Spell almost entirely relies on this time period.

Today is the night of the full moon. Shouldn’t it be the time when the power of the moonlight is at its strongest?Could it be that I am too weak to take this tonic?
Standing in front of the window, Kroun frowned and thought in front of the scarlet full moon.

It has been some time since he traveled to this world, and Crown also learned from the priest that after the changes that occurred in this world, the color of the moon on full moon nights would turn into a scary crimson.

He recalled the mysterious words the priest had uttered this afternoon.

'Tonight is the most spiritually active night, and all kinds of strange things will happen. Don't do any extra training at night, and go to bed early. '

"Ow"

In the distance, a wild wolf howl pierced the tranquility of the night.

Crown's gaze penetrated into the distant night sky, and for some reason, he heard violence and cruelty in that voice, as well as traces of pain.

Unable to figure out what was going on tonight, he stopped obsessing over the golden light spell and went to bed to rest.

Late at night, Kroun woke up from his sleep, his whole body was wet with sweat.

He had a strange dream in which he fell into a dark abyss with a deformed monster inside.

The monster is as huge as a mountain of flesh, with a green halo shining all over its body and covered with octopus-like tentacles.

There are no suction cups on the tentacles, instead there are scarlet eyes and small mouths.

The eyes are yellowish brown with red narrow vertical pupils embedded inside.

The mouth has sharp triangular teeth.

The abyss is filled with whispers that make people crazy, like the evil murmurs of countless people combined in their dreams.

An indescribable sense of sinister malice enveloped his body, and he woke up from his sleep.

After waking up, Crown walked to the window.

In his eyes, he saw a scene that made people crazy.

Gray mist pressed down from the sky, and twisted corpses floated inside.

Humans, birds, fish, and monsters made up of various corpses were sewed together and swam among them.The light and shadow are very faint, like phantoms, but they give people a deep feeling of despair.

There was also a creepy whisper that penetrated his ears crazily, and a chill filled his body.

"call"

Kroun let out a breath of cold air and took two steps back. When he retreated into the shadow of the room, the terrifying image outside the window disappeared without a trace.

Breathing heavily, he pressed his chest tightly with his hands.

After a while, he felt his heart beating like a drum. After it calmed down, he walked to the window again.

The world outside the window suddenly changed again, and the strange image he just witnessed appeared in the sky again.

His heart beat uncontrollably again, even more intensely than before.

Crown retreated again, disappearing into the darkness.

What is going on and why can I see such a strange phenomenon!
With his back pressed against the wall, Crown felt that the world was unfamiliar to him again.

There are not only monsters and evil spirits here, but also more evil and weird things.

However, the world is so terrifying, how do ordinary people survive?
Crown walked towards the window again, he wanted to verify something.

When he woke up from the nightmare, the crimson moonlight happened to shine on him.When he came to the window, he could see the strange scene in the sky and hear the murmurs that made people crazy.When he disappeared into the darkness, it all seemed like an illusion, without a trace.

He wanted to verify if there was anything wrong with the moonlight tonight.

After taking a deep breath and exhaling it slowly three times in a row, Crown stepped into the crimson moonlight without hesitation.

The murmur sounded again, and the scene outside the window seemed to have switched curtains, turning into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood again.

He moved his body sideways and left the range of the moonlight.

OK, there's something wrong with Moonlight.

This must be the reason why I cannot meditate while meditating on the Golden Light Mantra under the moonlight during the Youshi period.

There was a hint of enlightenment in Kroun's heart, and he decided to ask the priest tomorrow.

. . . .

Outside Zac Town, in a cave.

This is a mine that has been abandoned for many years. Many years ago, the town produced pyrite.

Hanging on the stone wall was a thick silver iron chain, with golden runes flashing from time to time.

A tall white werewolf was tied up and struggling wildly.

There is a long scar on the werewolf's left eye.

The werewolf continued to struggle, and the silver chain continued to shrink, and was deeply embedded in the werewolf's flesh.

After an unknown period of time, perhaps all his strength was exhausted, the werewolf stopped struggling and fell to the ground, his body twitching slightly.

There was a golden light outside the cave, and at this time, the morning sun rose.

The werewolf's body quickly shrank and turned into a strong man with scars all over his body.

A boy came over with a pile of clothes in his hands.

He squatted down next to the man, put down his clothes, and shouted softly: "Teacher, it's dawn."

The man opened his eyes and covered his eyes with trembling hands: "Alan, you can't follow me anymore. Now I can no longer stay sane on a full moon night. The darkness in my heart seems to have swallowed my soul and followed me. You will become more and more dangerous around me. I don’t know what I will become after I completely lose my mind.”
