Start Cthulhu with priest

The moment I met this eyeball.

Even Yannv's thinking seems to be pulled into a world that cannot be measured by common sense in an instant.

Fortunately, her willpower is strong, and she quickly gets rid of those chaotic illusions.

Yannv frowned.

From this eyeball, she caught the message from the empress.

[You should be Miss Yannv, right? 】

It was hard for Yannv not to care about this title.

The Queen Mother of Nightmare in her impression would not call herself that.

‘Sure enough, is it dead? '

Yannv couldn't help thinking this way, feeling a little lost in her heart.

'Are you... its heir? '

Nightmare swarms are inherently genderless creatures.

The so-called "reproduction" method is not to reproduce offspring through mating, but to continuously split into new individuals like self-division.

And the empress that Yannv knew so well, presumably, has ceased to exist in a long time.

Thinking of this, Yannv felt a little depressed.

Although the relationship between her and the Queen Mother was not very good in the past, she was a companion in the past anyway, so she must remember it for a moment.

【Master Ancestor has not passed away. 】

But at this time, the empress conveyed such a message from her eyes.

Yannv's expression changed again: "Then where is she now?"

[Please come with me. 】

The tentacles that guided Yannv before appeared again.

Only this time, it is leading in the direction... the Queen Mother's huge mouthparts!

*****

And behind Yannv.

An Le followed the traces left by her all the way.

Wherever Yannv walked, there will be scorched burn marks left behind.

On the way, Anle naturally saw the corpses of crystal worms burned into charcoal by Yannv, as well as their surviving relatives.

Judging from the tragic traces of the huge hole burned out at the scene, it is not difficult to guess that a fierce battle broke out here.

This made An Le a little worried.

What he was worried about was not Yannv's safety, but the position of the unknown apostle.

Will it be an enemy or a companion?

at the same time.

An Le noticed that although these purple bugs did not have eyes, noses and other organs, their senses were extremely keen.

Even if An Le hides in the shadows, they can still perceive her whereabouts.

Surprisingly, after sensing the breath of peace.

The amethyst worm did not attack Anle like it attacked Yannv, but surrounded him curiously, followed him silently, but did not take any more actions.

Not long after, a considerable number of purple crystal worms gathered beside An Le.

They clustered around An Le, like a different kind of flower protector, escorting him all the way.

This scene is unexpectedly beautiful and beautiful.

An Le almost forgot that he was in an extremely dangerous situation.

There were even crystal worms who were a little more courageous among them, who chose to get close to Anle's feet and touch them lightly.

An Le was still a little uncomfortable at first, and was wary.

After all, this kind of crystal worm is not as dreamy and harmless to humans and animals as it seems on the surface, and I am afraid that it is a very dangerous existence.

After just savoring it carefully for a moment, An Le realized—they really didn't seem to be hostile to him?

This relaxes him a little.

At this time, An Le was suddenly surprised to find that the invisible silk thread belonging to Yannv perceived in [An Le's Call] was actually overlapped with another thread.

Yannv already found it?

The apostles already knew each other.

It's just that An Le didn't expect that they would complete the meeting first.

'I don't know if they will fight. '

An Le is worried like an old father who is worried about the discord between his two daughters.

Needless to say, the probability of such an event happening is not small at all.

With Yannv present, An Le felt more confident.

At least, there is a guarantee of strength.

Thinking of this, Anle quickened her pace.

And the crystal worms around him followed closely.

Moreover, their number is increasing, growing like a stream flowing into a river.

When Anle arrived at the passage that was previously widened by Yannv, he was surrounded by an amethyst-colored sea of ​​insects, which could not be seen at a glance, and looked extremely spectacular.

Insect Sea remained silent and did not make any sound.

Just silently, many complex emotions were conveyed from those subtle movements.

There is both joy and awe, but also worry and anxiety.

When An Le stepped into the entrance of the passage, these amethysts stopped at the same time, not far from the entrance.

An Le turned her head and looked at them in surprise.

The next moment, all the amethyst worms bowed down their bodies.

The whole purple ocean is two or three centimeters low.

It's like knights guarding their princesses, and it's like subjects welcoming back their kings.

At this moment, An Le's heart was shocked.

He subconsciously said, "I'm back."

Even An Le himself didn't know why he said those words.

Then, he turned and walked into the passage.

If we say that An Le was full of vigilance when he first entered the worm's nest, he always felt that he would be attacked by unknown people.

But as he walked further in, this feeling gradually disappeared, becoming relaxed and natural.

It's like coming home, I love it so much.

Therefore, An Le looked forward to the reunion with the master of this hive.

Through the passage, An Le also came to the empty underground cavity, slightly shocked by the scene.

Then, the huge eyes looked at him.

An Le hadn't had time to say anything.

His consciousness was dragged into another world.

When he opened his eyes again, all directions were lavender, crystal clear.

Nothing but purple.

'Here is... a dream? '

An Le had a vague guess.

Compared with a real space, this place is more like a world that only exists in his spirit and mind.

He was no stranger to this feeling.

When he was in Yuechong City, An Le was drawn into the dreamland of ghouls, and experienced quite an exciting adventure there.

In the end, it was a dream within a dream to save the crisis in Yuechong City.

At this time, the feeling is similar to it, but it is slightly different.

They all knew that they were dreaming, but they couldn't wake up from the dream.

On the surface, it looks dreamy and calm, but in fact, it seems that there is a huge crisis hidden in it.

Whenever An Le casts his gaze into the purple depths nearby, a strong warning will come from his intuition.

I'm warning him not to continue snooping.

Behind the dense amethyst, there seems to be a black shadow floating.

Dead and cold, eerie and dirty.

Like some kind of living creature, once entangled by them, it will be trapped in a nightmare that can never be shaken off.

An Le's eyes looked in another direction.

From there, came a vague phantom.

Can't see the exact shape.

It seems to be just a mass of dark purple consciousness.

"Father Ann, you are here."

Unable to distinguish male and female voices sounded, with extremely complicated emotions.

An Le only felt that the voice was very familiar, but she couldn't remember why it was so familiar.

What is it supposed to look like when it is blurred?

He has an uncomfortable feeling of being blocked in the chest.

'I should have remembered. '

'I shouldn't have forgotten. '

Being in this absurd dream, a little sour and gloomy suddenly broke into An Le's mind.

[When you see me, I should no longer be this nightmare empress. 】

[But please don't worry, my children, I will never hurt you. 】

[I have engraved this law into the blood of the swarm. 】

[Even in the days when I am not around, they will still follow this eternal iron law. 】

'Not here? '

Hearing this, An Le's heart trembled, thinking of a possibility: "Are you... already dead?"

Xu Ying said to himself as if he didn't hear An Le's question.

[I can only meet you in this way, I'm really sorry. 】

[But now I have probably fallen into a long sleep. 】

From its reaction, An Le guessed that the phantom in this dream was not an existence with the ability to think independently, but more like a remnant, or in other words, a pre-prepared program.

Triggered by the arrival of An Le.

sleep?

An Le noticed the word.

It is obviously different from death, and of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is a better way of hearing it.

[Actually, I really don't want to use this method to linger on and prolong my life. 】

[But in order to see you again, I have no choice. 】

【Everything is worth it. 】

There is a lot of information in these few sentences.

To prove An Le's conjecture—his apostle did not die.

Well, since it is a long sleep, there must be a way to wake it up.

At this time, An Le couldn't help but think of the culprit that caused this mutation—the unknown black egg.

Presumably it is the key to awakening the apostles.

At this time, the vague consciousness slowly moved closer to An Le.

In the end, she leaned against him, clinging tightly like a hug.

An joyful but sad words came from An Le's ear: "Father An, I really miss you."

In the moment of consciousness embracing.

Many forgotten pictures and memories popped up in An Le's mind.

*****

In a certain deep crypt, he came across a weak purple insect the size of a palm.

Xiao Chong was wounded, several legs were broken, and crystal clear purple blood flowed out.

Maybe it was just a whim, or maybe it was very pitiful to see it.

Anle didn't kill it, but kept it by her side, caring and feeding it carefully.

Jing Chong's attitude towards An Le at first was not particularly friendly.

Sometimes there will be some unhappiness, such as being bitten to some vital parts by it, or being eaten by food.

But with the passage of time, the two sides gradually began to trust and rely on each other.

Sometimes, An Le was in a dangerous situation and was able to escape with the help of Jing Chong.

When the memory was flooding, An Le was also surprised to find that the time he met Jing Chong was actually earlier than Sai Lei.

In my memory at that time, he was still very weak and powerless.

Because of this, this interdependent relationship is all the more precious.

But gradually, An Le picked up Sai Lei and Yan Nu one after another, and more and more people gathered around him, and he spent less and less time with this crystal worm.

As a result, crystal worms began to build nests underground, and created tribesmen in a split way, trying to resolve this loneliness.

An Le still has her own things to do.

In this way, the time they spend together becomes rarer and more precious.

From being inseparable, to seeing each other only once a day, to once a week, once a month...

The queen mother produced more and more offspring, and the area of ​​the nest became wider and wider, but at the same time, it became more and more lonely.

The time spent with Anle every once in a while is what it cherishes the most.

An Le leaned against it, without words or actions.

It can make its emptiness be instantly filled, happy and satisfied.

How much the empress hopes that it can continue like this forever.

And at the end of this memory, An Le turned and left in the empty nest.

And its huge single eye stared at his receding back, silent in the darkness.

The Queen Mother could never wait for his return.

*****

After regaining consciousness again, An Le realized that the surrounding scenery was already different from before.

On the top of the head and under the feet are purer and clearer amethysts.

It was so dreamy that I couldn't take my eyes off it.

And a slight vibration of something like a muscular texture.

Here... is that kind of bug's body?

An Le guessed the truth.

Not far away, Yannv's flame was flickering gently.

Her eyes were blurred, her face was intoxicated, and the purple halo permeated her body surface, she didn't notice the arrival of An Le at all.

It is obvious that she is deeply trapped in the dream constructed by the empress and cannot extricate herself.

An Le knew that this was just a small revenge from it.

'You are still as naughty as ever. '

An Le sighed a little, and walked towards the core area of ​​the Queen Mother.

There, there is this very inconspicuous black crystal, which is very small but well protected.

Like amber, wrapped in a petite, poor, bug.

Just like Anle and its appearance when it first met a long time ago.

It's just that in the amber, there is no breath of life or signs of survival.

Like it's already dead.

An Le didn't panic, but took out the throbbing unknown black egg.

As early as when he followed the passage to the depths of the insect nest, the mutation of this black egg was extremely strong.

The original black shell has changed to a material similar to amethyst.

An Le even felt the pulse of blood from it.

It seems to be alive, exuding vigorous vitality, and it complements the black crystal not far away.

Following her intuition, An Le placed the egg beside Amber.

In the blink of an eye, the black amber changed from crystal to viscous liquid, and began to seep into the surface of the egg.

In just a few seconds, the previous crystals disappeared.

All that was left was an egg that had turned into pure black.

All the abnormalities just now were gathered together, and it returned to the ordinary posture when it was first obtained.

But in fact, this black egg is completely different from before.

It's like a hollow body, endowed with a soul.

Fresh life is being bred in it, and one day it will break out of the shell.

After awakening Yannv from her dream.

The two left the insect nest without encountering any obstacles along the way.

The worm nest here and the Apostle Queen known to An Le have been separated into two different individuals.

In the future, the insect nest will continue to thrive in this foggy world.

And An Le will also welcome new members in the church.
