Start Cthulhu with priest

The sky above Yue Chung City.

Under the bloody moonlight.

Beside the treacherous and frightening tree of flesh and blood.

Helicopter wings whirling and whirring

"Black Crow Three! Please reply if you hear it! Please reply if you hear it!"

The driver among them said nervously and seriously.

It's just the other end of the communicator, but there is no response, only deathly silence.

In the pilot's sight, another helicopter not far away, after hovering in the air for a while, fell like a bird with broken wings, falling into the bottomless darkness, as if dissolving In the bloody moonlight, a small fire finally lit up.

"Damn it, even number three..."

The driver Dong Bei gritted his teeth, showing a tragic expression.

'Now, I'm the only one left. '

After the Black Crow team dispatched, a total of five helicopters rose into the sky to investigate the situation at the top of the Tree of Flesh.

But now, only the Black Crow No. 4 is left.

Even though they have already prepared preventive measures against mental pollution, even the Black Raven itself is made of special materials, which have a certain resistance to extraordinary power.

But when the helicopter took off, the pilot realized how weak and powerless his efforts were.

The pilot didn't even look at the Blood Moon and the Tree of Flesh, but just buried himself in the height.

But the higher it went up, the stronger the twisting power of the bloody moonlight became. That indescribable filthy power was infecting the driver's body, mind, and even soul.

Dong Bei didn't dare to look down at his arms and palms, because they might have been quietly twisted into deformed postures.

Besides the moonlight, a unique ancient atmosphere is spreading.

It is like a barren and mysterious wilderness, presented before people's eyes.

This was after the city wall of Yuechong City collapsed, the barrier that originally protected the city was broken, and the air that belonged to the wasteland began to enter it.

Accompanied by some existence that cannot be described in words, sneak into the city.

That was not something Dombey should worry about.

Even if he didn't know the source of this breath, it didn't prevent him from being disgusted and wary of it.

Dong Bei thought to himself: 'No. 1 and No. 2 sacrificed like this. '

As the pioneers of the Black Crow Squad, their sacrifices are not worthless.

Don't look directly at the blood moon, don't look directly at the tree of flesh until it reaches the highest point, breathe on the oxygen tank in the helicopter... these seemingly insignificant actions make Dombey the one most likely to achieve his goal.

On him, a necklace-shaped extraordinary relic was emitting a faint fluorescence, protecting his mind.

However, as the height climbed further, the distance between Black Crow 4 and the top of the Tree of Flesh continued to shorten.

The fluorescence of the necklace dimmed.

Dong Bei found that he began to gradually lose control of reality, and fell into a trance like dream and waking from time to time, as if the two realities overlapped little by little.

He didn't know how to describe this state accurately. He imagined a container filled with liquid, and the liquid inside flowed out from the rupture after being cut by a knife.

The jar was the perceived reality, and Dombey didn't know whether the cold liquid gushing from the crack was the real reality or a harbinger of madness.

But in this chaos, Dong Bei still did not forget his mission, and the legacy of his companions rested on him.

The height of the helicopter is still rising.

'As long as... as long as you can reach that place...'

'At least, pass the information back...'

And then, in the gap between madness and filth, Dong Bei regained his reason for a moment, and suddenly found that he was already at a very high altitude, and he could even overlook the top of the tree of flesh and blood.

Therefore, Dong Bei tried his best to widen his eyes, trying to see more clearly, and then he saw a picture that he will never forget.

The towering giant tree formed from intertwined flesh and blood was stained with an abnormal blood color, and besides the original distortion, it was more distorted and magnificent.

It's as if... Blood Moon's power was stolen by it?

Or, the blood moon is merging into its body?

The tree of flesh and blood also began to have the characteristic that makes people want to stare unconsciously.

Limbs growing like branches, a face full of madness and greed... This is the most filthy sight Dong Bei has ever seen.

However, they are nothing compared to the things on the top of the tree.

Dong Bei saw countless gray tentacles dancing gracefully.

That's right, elegant.

He couldn't find a better word to describe that gesture, as if the growing flesh and blood beside him were just delicacies served on the table.

The tentacles are the invited diners.

The demeanor is biased and the manners are elegant.

The milky mist is surging, and the blood-red moonlight is swaying.

These abnormalities themselves are terrifying, with weird and mysterious characteristics.

But they are, at best, mere embellishments compared to the tentacles.

Dombey thought: 'I should not expect words alone to be able to describe the unspeakable horrors that lie in the vastness of silence and trance. '

He wanted to observe those tentacles more carefully, but instinct stopped him, which would drive him to irreversible madness.

At this time, Dong Bei suddenly discovered that under the tentacles, there were two figures?

One of them, a woman, appears to have passed out.

'She...is probably a sacrifice or something? '

Dong Bei thought with the remaining rationality.

Because on the surface of the flesh and blood, there are still a few corpses that are gradually losing their shape.

As for the other one, it was a black phantom, and the human form could only be discerned barely, it seemed to be a man in a black robe.

Even whether he actually exists in sight is unknown.

But Dong Bei saw that the tentacles were protruding from his body.

The tentacles crawled under his feet, like the most loyal servants.

'The kind of existence... master? This, how is this possible? '

Horror hit Dombey's heart: 'Who the hell is he? '

Dong Bei knew that this giant tree of flesh and blood was made by the traitor Edward of the Security Department.

The black-robed man was obviously not Edward, and Dong Bei had never heard of such an ability to drive tentacles.

At this moment, the opponent seems to be fighting against the power of the giant tree of flesh and blood?

A trace of hope rose in Dong Bei's heart: "If it was him, maybe he could..."

*****

at the same time.

The footage recorded by the Black Crow No. 4 camera was also transmitted to the conference room of the Security Division in real time.

"This, this is..."

It was different from Dong Bei's focus in the state of confusion and confusion.

As bystanders, they see the full view of the tree top.

The surging blood vessels and muscle fibers formed a...huge human face!

And they didn't dare to feel unfamiliar with this face, on the contrary, it was extremely familiar.

"Edward."

Yi Shuang spit out the name coldly.

The flesh and blood on the top of the tree condensed into Edward's face.

The face that was supposed to be handsome, gentle and pleasing to the heart, now looked distorted, hideous and terrifying.

Those eyes seemed to be looking at the people in the conference room coldly and contemptuously through the helicopter's camera, with a hint of ridicule.

His flesh and blood had already merged with this tree!

After realizing that many of his methods were ineffective against An Le, Edward simply changed his strategy and decided to steal the power of Blood Moon first, and attack the residents of Moonsurge City, because he found that although the evil phantom was terrifying, it was also It cannot harm its own origin.

In the conference room, most people's faces were not good-looking.

When Yi Shuang announced that Edward was a traitor and the culprit of this series of incidents, many high-level officials scoffed at this, thinking that Yi Shuang was making alarmist remarks, which almost caused violent conflicts.

If the current mayor of Yuechong City hadn't stepped forward, the situation would have been even worse.

Even, until just now, some people believed that Edward was innocent.

Many of them are Edward's subordinates, or members directly promoted by him.

But at this moment, after seeing that familiar yet unfamiliar face, part of their hearts seemed to collapse, and some of them burst into tears.

"Master Edward, how...how did this happen?"

Yi Shuang was indifferent to their reactions, but squinted his eyes, looking at the blurry phantom.

The camera cannot record its image accurately, and can only present a rough outline.

It is not difficult for Yi Shuang to guess that this person is another node with extremely high spiritual energy level in the mouth of the intelligence analysts.

'Who could he be? '

She quickly put this question behind her and asked, "How far has the transfer of the mental energy level progressed?"

The voice on the communication channel was full of exhaustion: "Report to the minister, it is close to 90%."

"The characteristics of the blood moon are almost completely accepted by the tree of flesh and blood."

The staff at the other end said with a little regret.

"And one more thing."

"Minister Yi, the pollution has spread to the intelligence analysis department. I probably...can no longer report information to you."

Yi Shuang's heart sank, he took a deep breath, tried not to let the words vibrate, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you... have any last words?"

The staff asked after silence: "Minister, we...will win?"

Yi Shuang said seriously and seriously: "I will win!"

"We will definitely win."

"..."

Yi Shuang waited for a response, but there was no sound from the other end of the communication channel.

She sighed from the bottom of her heart, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were burning: "Is the energy cannon ready?"

Someone on another channel replied: "On standby!"

Yi Shuang knew that now might not be the most suitable time to attack, but if it was delayed any longer, an unknown number of operatives and residents would die every second.

And let the giant tree of flesh and blood continue to grow, no one knows what it will evolve into.

"All extraordinary people and armed personnel who can hear this news, please launch a long-range attack on the giant tree of flesh and blood together in one minute!"

These words were transmitted to every corner of Yuechong City directly through the radio.

"Unlock the highest energy authority and start the countdown."

Yi Shuang's voice sounded like a gust of wind and rain, revealing an iron-blooded temperament.

"sixty."

"fifty-nine."

"..."

The transcendents in Yueyong City, no matter they belonged to the Security Department or were scattered soldiers, as long as they still had rationality, they all raised their heads and looked at the giant tree of flesh and blood under the bloody moonlight.

The characteristic that makes people stare at it is working, but it can still be restrained for a short time.

The direction of the energy cannon is changing, gathering all the energy it can mobilize.

"three two……"

"one!"

boom! ! !

Three incomparably thick beams of energy emitted from different directions, carrying exaggerated power and temperature, as if even the air was being burned.

In the blood-colored night sky, draw a bright and bright trajectory.

Like three meteorites, falling on the giant tree of flesh and blood.

At the same time, people roared from the ground.

"Fight!"

"You monster! Go to hell!"

"Ahhhhh! Give me a trick!"

People used roars to suppress the fear in their hearts, and used various methods, some with sword energy, some with air cannons, and some with corrosive poison.

There was also a continuous spout of flames and gunfire, and armed men fired small grenades.

In an instant, the entire Yueyong City was as bright as day.

It seemed that even Bloody Moonlight was temporarily expelled.

*****

The current An Le is in a very mysterious state that cannot be described in words.

On the one hand, he responded to Lisa's call, existed in reality as [Shadow of Echo], and was even fighting against Edward.

But on the other hand, he still seems to have not shaken off that blurred, dreamy dream within a dream.

Consciousness is occasionally a little confused.

Looking at the scene in front of me, it is difficult to feel real, as if... I am a bystander, watching everything that happened indifferently.

As for protecting Lisa and fighting this ugly flesh and blood, is it just an instinct?

Just like the boss's instinct to protect his property?

But at this moment, the night sky that suddenly lit up attracted An Le's attention.

The huge beam of energy light fell, causing the entire giant tree of flesh and blood to tremble in pain, and large areas that were hit were directly vaporized, leaving charred wounds.

There was also the sound of the explosion on the ground, which Anle could still hear even though it was a long distance away.

Moreover, it is in the night sky not far from the giant tree of flesh and blood.

A helicopter dumped all its bullets on it.

Then it rushed towards it desperately, and the last burst of flames erupted, illuminating the night sky for a short moment.

These attacks seemed weak, but the courage contained in them moved even An Le slightly.

He suddenly thought: 'Yes, this is human beings. '

‘Even if they are weak, even if they can be killed casually, there are always some things, even if they are killed, they will not perish. '

'The hymn of humanity... is the hymn of courage! '

An Le closed his eyes, and he saw the three bloody full moons again.

This is the dream within the dream, their core.

After absorbing the spirit of the people in Yuesong City, they became somewhat swollen and bloated, like mosquitoes that had sucked blood.

Under the moonlight, the figure that appeared was neither the usual An Le, nor the sixteen-year-old him, but... a priest in a black robe.

An Le's body rose and approached the blood moon—since it was a dream within a dream, there was no need to follow the rules in reality.

He opened his arms, smiled, and hugged Blood Moon.

*****

And after the indiscriminate bombing of various attacks.

In the eyes of people full of hope, the giant tree of flesh and blood collapsed, and in the collapse of flesh and blood, it became only five stories high.

Although it was still tall, it was nothing compared to the height that was almost close to the blood moon just now.

Moreover, large and small wounds appeared on its body surface.

Its breath is weak and almost non-existent.

However, before they began to rejoice, the weakened flesh and blood began to grow again.

A huge human face twisted and emerged.

Edward's face was distorted, and he let out an inhuman roar: "How dare you?"

"How dare?"

After the anger passed, he smiled ferociously again: "Why, you don't understand me?"

"Why...why do you still struggle in vain and don't want to die peacefully like this?"

"In this case, I will give you a more painful death!"

Before Edward finished speaking, the tall building-like flesh and blood no longer grew upwards, but expanded in all directions.

Just like what happened in a dream, like a blanket of meat, it swallows everything it encounters and touches.

And this time, it was more swift and active.

In addition, Edward has been connected with the blood moon, and the flesh and blood also have the characteristics of unconsciously gazing.

At the beginning of the expansion, it caused huge casualties.

Panic spread like a tide again.

Someone cried out in despair: "Is there really no other way?"

"Moon Chung City, it's over."

But there are also people who go against the tide and launch a final attack on the flesh and blood.

Yi Shuang tightly clenched her fists and looked at the video from the monitor. Even though she had expected it, the result... still made her regretful and angry.

Some high-level people beside him hesitated to speak, showing a hesitant expression.

Yi Shuang knew very well that what they wanted to do was to evacuate Yuechong City as soon as possible.

With the extraordinary relics, capital, and channels accumulated over the years, these people can indeed escape.

But when they left, what would the ordinary citizens of Yuechong City do?

Is it just like being swallowed by flesh and blood?

"No matter what decision you make, I will live and die with the residents of Moonsurge City."

Yi Shuang coldly swept across the faces of several people, as if to remember their appearance.

The people she watched unnaturally lowered their heads or looked left and right.

"Look! He seems to... stop?"

Someone suddenly exclaimed.

Yi Shuang turned his head quickly and stared at the picture on the screen.

*****

The expansion of Edward's flesh and blood seemed to have been pressed to a halt, and suddenly stopped.

On top of it, a human face shrunk several times grew out of it.

He stared resentfully at An Le, who was covered by the black robe, and asked, "I think there should be no enmity between you and me before?"

"Why do you keep obstructing me again and again?"

An Le stared at Edward coldly, while asking herself in her heart.

Was he really attacking this man to protect the children in the orphanage, to protect Yue Chung City, or out of some kind of heroic hatred?

Yes, they are part of the reason, but not the truest one.

If I really want to say it, the reason can only be...

An Le said, "You are blocking my way."

Edward was startled for a moment, and laughed wantonly: "Hahaha! Sure enough, your essence is just a monster!"

next moment.

The surging mental power collided together like a tsunami.

Thanks to "Long Live Lord Rem" for the reward of 500 coins! You fake fan, you spelled all the words wrongly.
