The current in the river is fast and fast, and the forces of nature interfere with the information perceived by the flies that come to pursue.Angus did not dare to emerge from the water, so he swam forward underwater with the power of the river.The icy temperature irritated Angus's skin."
None of this is a dream.It's horrible. ”Angus thought to himself.Unable to open his eyes, Angus stumbled into some rocks at the bottom of the river, and a trace of blood flowed out, but these small wounds were nothing to worry about compared to the abominable flies.The flies overhead lingered on the surface of the river for a short while and then left dissatisfied, and instead of waiting on the surface of the river, it was better to go back to the welfare house and get other things.The sense of crisis in Angus's heart slowly disappeared as the flies left, but he still cautiously waited under the water with the breath he held before he started, in case the flies returned to the horse.Angus pondered in his mind for ten seconds before preparing to float to the surface.Angus's feet pressed the riverbed, and the process of ascending began, but at the moment of ascending, Angus's face changed greatly.He was so startled that he almost opened his mouth to shout."
What?!"
He felt as if something was creeping around his legs, trying to pull him down the water; It wasn't like a weed, but more like an ancient and incomparably evil being.The evil came from a range beyond human comprehension, and if Angus had opened his eyes at this time, he would have seen a dark green tentacle wrapped around his leg, and there were cysts on the tentacles, some of which had burst open, and they were eyes without eyelids.A primordial starry sky appeared in Angus's mind, an indescribable mass of beings, sleeping in that starry sky.He was surrounded by equally strange creatures playing unrhythmic and strange music to keep him asleep.The illusion had only flashed through his mind, but it had pierced deep into his heart.Unable to comprehend this unspeakable being, Angus even began to question the legitimacy of his own existence, and the breath he held back finally leaked at this time.The icy river poured water into Angus's mouth and nose in large quantities, and the ancient, evil being wrapped around his leg was preparing to devour Angus.Angus's consciousness slowly faded, and in the moment before he fell asleep, he felt a strong impact on his body.A powerful external force crashed into Angus's body, accompanied by a slimy feeling, although disgusting to the touch, but with a divine power.The force of the impact caused Angus to faint completely, and he slowly fell to the bottom of the water, while the ancient and evil being fled as if he had encountered something terribly frightened after encountering that divine force.The mass of sticky stuff carried Angus's body underneath the water, slowly rising towards the surface; When he reached the surface, he bent over and threw Angus's body onto the riverbank.Angus lay unconscious on the rocks on the riverbank, and a thick fishtail hit Angus in the stomach.The sudden, sharp pain caused Angus to instinctively bend his body and spit out the river water he had previously inhaled.After doing all this, the owner of the big fishtail dived back into the water and continued its innately mission until the last day of its life.The swarm of flies had completed the harvest of life in the Arkham Welfare House and finally gathered in front of Mariner.Marliner had stopped vomiting, everything in his entire stomach pouch had been spit out, his throat was hot, and there was a bitter and sour taste in his mouth.Malin wiped his mouth with his sleeve and spat on the ground.He was not afraid of the swarm of flies in front of him, but had a sense of awe for the swarm, because behind these flies was the will of the One.From the dream, Mariner had understood the meaning of the words on the last page of the Watek.Mariner's insane appetite came from the one who symbolized the gluttony of the seven original sins of mankind, who was the god of the Philistines, who was the Lord of the Flies, who was the source of the plague feared by the Ugarites.He is Baalzebub."
Mortal, you are brave."
The swarms formed a humanoid shape in the air, and by changing the frequency with which the flies flapped their wings, they emitted buzzing words.Unconcerned about the filthy vomit on the ground, Marin fell to his knees and bowed to the Lord of the Flies."
Great Lord of the Flies, Marliner shows you loyalty.""
I have received your sacrifice, very good flesh and soul, I am satisfied."
With a buzzing sound, such a sentence reached Marin's ears.This is a game, a game set up by Maliner after learning the truth in a dream.All the people in the Arkham Welfare House are pawns on the chessboard, and only Mariner is the only one who makes a profit in the end."
Then as I promised you, I will tell you the truth of the world, but you can only digest it slowly."
When Baalzebub had finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a fly flew out of it.The fly circled around Marinel, burrowed through his collar, and formed the mark of an inverted pentagram on his back.The moment the mark fell, Mariner fainted to the ground.He was dazed by the sound of numerous flies flying around, and then his consciousness fell into a deep sleep."
Hurry up, there's a living mouth here."
The boisterous voices woke up Mariner, who found himself on a stretcher and being carried out of the warehouse by the crowd.He still pretended to be unconscious, but a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.On the other side, the Angus was discovered by well-meaning fishermen and placed in their homes to recuperate.When Jobron and Tristhenie receive the bad news about the Arkham Orphanage, they both fall silent, and Tristhenie cries incessantly.Although Chobuterrand did not spend much time in the Arkham Orphanage, Tristhene grew up in the Orphanage, and the little friends in it were not brothers, but more like brothers.Tubtrand didn't know how to comfort Tristne, who was crying in front of him, so he could only hug him into his arms and let him cry loudly.Arnold sighed as he watched the two of them, the tragedy that had happened had caused the Arkham Welfare Institute to set a rule that only two people could be adopted at a time.Arnold, who had planned to take Angus with him, felt a little sorry, but Arnold sensed a key piece of information from the news, that is, the number of corpses did not match the number on the register.At the same time, one of the survivors miraculously survived the scene of the crime, and Arnold shared this information with Giobuttron and Tristgne.This message gave Jobtrand and Tristne hope that their friend, Angus, would still be alive in the world.
