Start Cthulhu with priest

Chapter 140 139. Blood Moon (3000) (22)

"Moon Surge"

Even judging from the title of the book, this seems to be some kind of pretentious literary book, but judging from the enthusiasm in An Le's mind, the taboo knowledge contained in it may be quite valuable.

An Le judged in her heart: 'It's about the same level as the knowledge related to Mist Mother? '

The material of this book is also very unusual, the paper is gray-black, like a kind of animal leather, extraordinarily tough.

And the handwriting on it is well preserved.

Even though it has spanned a long time, it can still survive to this day.

Opening the cover, a gust of simplicity came over us.

Accompanied by it, there is also an indescribable weirdness and coldness, attached to An Le's body surface.

It seems that it is not An Le who is reading, but the knowledge in this book is spying on An Le secretly, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, looking for the right opportunity to devour him.

This is the feeling you will have when reading taboo knowledge. Countless people have gone crazy because of them. The poisonousness of knowledge is not just talk.

But for An Le?

He smiled slightly: 'Let me see your residual value! '

[The moon is the only star that humans can actually observe. 】

This first sentence surprised An Le.

He has observed the night sky in this world, not only the moon, but also the sky full of stars.

So An Le subconsciously believes that the earth in this world should also be in the solar system, even if it is not the eight planets, it may be the seven or six planets.

But these words now inevitably make An Le fall into deep thought.

With modern technology, it is certainly not difficult to manufacture astronomical telescopes. The key lies in the "truth" in this sentence.

‘Could it be that the stars I see are all just illusions and shadows? '

An Le collected her mind and continued to read.

[Since ancient times, there have been hidden mysteries on the moon, which are eternal and buried in the dust of history. 】

【Behind the floating moon shadow are some memories that once drove us crazy, but are gradually being forgotten by us. 】

【In order to record those hidden corners, this book is written. ——Wuwei Sanren]

The author's name of the book, has not been blotted out.

But it gave An Le a sense of absurdity and absurdity. This name, rather, resembled a Taoist cultivator in ancient China.

The following content, rather than an objective description, is presented to An Le in the form of a self-report.

[Since childhood, I have had a strong curiosity about the moon in the sky. 】

[I want to know why it hangs in the sky and why it shines at night. 】

【Why, under the moonlight, I feel an indescribable sense of pleasure? 】

[It seems that the moonlight is rejoicing beside me. 】

[As I grew older, I learned through learning that the moon is just a star that surrounds the earth, and the moonlight is only the light from the sun. 】

[I think this statement may have some truth, but it may not be correct. 】

[Because in my opinion, Moonlight is alive! 】

【Every night, I will bathe in the moonlight, those silvery and white lights are like elves in a dream, and I can still listen to their whispers, as if they are sending me some kind of invitation. 】

[At that time, Yueyong City was building a tall city wall. More precisely, the name "Yueyong City" only appeared after the city wall was built. 】

[And during this period, a group of weird suicides appeared in Yueyong City. 】

[When midnight falls, the moon hangs in the sky. 】

【They will choose their favorite location—often a high place, because it is closer to the moon. It's either on a rooftop or on a hill. I really can't find a suitable place, and even street lights can make do. 】

【Then, he took out the rope and cloth, and hanged himself there. 】

[The death methods of these suicides are surprisingly consistent, only a very few people died of falling from a height due to a misstep. 】

[As we all know, hanging is a very painful type of suicide. 】

[However, on the faces of this group of suicides after death, there is a shocking tranquility and serenity, and even a little... holy, smiling like the moonlight, as if dying like this, for them, It's a lucky thing. 】

[Before the incident, none of these people showed negative or suicidal tendencies. It seems that when the moon rises, there is something that changes their thinking and makes them desperately want to pursue the moon, just because Unable to touch, he finally decided to abandon the inconvenient body and chase the bright moon in the sky with his soul. 】

[This type of person is known as the Moon Chaser. 】

[There is no sign of the transformation of ordinary people into moon chasers. Someone may have been chatting about it yesterday, as a basis for conversation, and found his body hanging on the street lamp the next day. 】

[Even many extraordinary people at that time were at a loss for the appearance of the Moon Chaser, had no way to deal with it, and did not know the reason for its appearance. 】

[The only certainty is that if you don't touch the moonlight, the probability of becoming a moon chaser will decrease. 】

[For a while, people in Yueyong City were panicked, and people didn't dare to go out in the middle of the night, for fear of becoming a member of the Moon Chaser. 】

[In this way, the moonlight in Yueyong City will be enjoyed by me alone. 】

[It must be stated that the appearance of the Moon Chaser has nothing to do with me. 】

【Actually, I'm not even a moon chaser. 】

【I just like moonlight, but I don't like it enough to be willing to give my life for it. 】

[But those nights of wandering in the moonlight, I did feel—the taste of the moonlight has changed. 】

["Taste", this term may be a bit abstract, but this is already the most appropriate adjective I can find. 】

[I know better than ordinary people that moonlight is not just a pure light, it is a living existence. If the moonlight in the past was cool and pure, like ice-cold and sweet popsicle ice cream, then during that time, It is like putting durian into a hot hot pot and using cooking skills beyond human common sense to create dark dishes, full of rancidity, chaos and filth. 】

[As if, the alienation of the human mind is bound to cause the distortion of the body. 】

[Moonlight is also undergoing weird changes. 】

[In the places illuminated by the moon, in the darkness, in the crevices, in the corners... there are existences that I can hardly describe, some are like tiny insects, but with human limbs; some are like luxurious buildings The corner of the body reveals the antiquity beyond time; and... the eyes, countless eyes! 】

【They are looking at me! 】

[I often wonder if I have hallucinations, or my reason has long been distorted into an abnormal shape in contact with the moonlight. 】

[But at the same time, my desire for moonlight is getting stronger and stronger every minute and every second. Even if I try to dispel it by arousing instinctive fear, I can't do it. 】

[I started to stay up all night and all night, just to bathe in the moonlight. 】

[And in the daytime, I feel uncomfortable all over, as if there are thousands of ants crawling on my body. 】

[I know that the moon is still there, but it is covered by Hui's light. 】

[When encountering a night full of clouds and not seeing the moon, I would feel anxious and yell unconsciously to vent my depression, which also provoked the neighbors to call the police. 】

【However, what makes me feel incredible is that I didn't become a moon chaser, and I didn't commit suicide because of the moonlight. 】

[I thought it was luck, but in retrospect, that was the beginning of misfortune. 】

[Because of this symptom, I lost my job, disconnected from my friends and relatives, and was forced to use neurological drugs to suppress this impulse. When I looked in the mirror one day, I saw in the mirror that the hair was thinning, the face was haggard, The figure aged like a sixty-year-old man can't help but doubt from the bottom of his heart—is he really me? 】

[I realized that this cannot go on. 】

【So, I went to observe the construction of the city wall, because I found that everything abnormal started from the construction of the city wall of Yueyong City. 】

[The first few observations did not go well, because of my suspicious appearance, someone drove me away soon. 】

[But I still have a new discovery. When I approach the city wall, my desire for moonlight, for a moment, is no longer as strong as usual. 】

【This is good news. 】

[For this reason, I used my remaining connections to join the city wall construction team. 】

【I work as a construction worker at the outermost edge, and I am mainly responsible for moving cement and bricks. The work is very hard, but my mind is changing towards a healthy direction, and I am slowly beginning to return to a normal person. 】

[If, on that night, I hadn't walked to that place...everything would have been different. 】

[Late one night, the longing for moonlight once again occupied my heart. 】

[The moonlight near the construction site is much cleaner than in the city, so I dared to get up from the bed and leave the worker's dormitory. 】

[Moonlight is pure, and I saw pure white elves dancing beside me, telling me something. 】

[I can't understand the whispers of the elves, but I can roughly understand that they want to lead me to a place. 】

[I couldn't refuse their invitation, followed Pianfei's figure, walked under the moonlight, and came to the area where the contractor foreman of the construction site did not allow me to go - because I was afraid of becoming a moon chaser, afraid of death for no reason, no one Will travel on nights like this as I do. 】

[Under the desolate and lonely moonlight, on the edge of the city wall built to two-thirds of the height, I was able to see a scene that I will never forget in my life. 】

[On the uneven ground under the feet, there are scattered rocks, inlaid with a round...]

[The bloody moon! 】

[Even if it can be described by a red disc and a bright red circular outline drawn out, no matter what, I will not admit it wrong, the moon, that is the moon! 】

[At least, it is the reflection of the moon. 】

[The pure white elves, as soon as they approached, began to distort into a terrifying image, growing many fine fleshy strands, and eyeballs opened from every strand of flesh. 】

[Rhythmic, rhythmic, and at the same time some wild voices sounded from the bottom of my heart. It was like a beautiful chant or a choral hymn, trying to lead me into that world. 】

[And I, how could I refuse? 】

In the previous chapter, "Moon of Moon Surge City" was changed to "Moon of Moon Surge".
