Azathoth explained a lot to the strangers he had just met in an extremely abnormal way. The humans who knew him looked at him with their eyes and noses and their noses and noses and hearts, and always felt that they had discovered something very scary.
Igor, who had just observed the murals and had gained some understanding, withdrew his gaze without changing his expression. As if he had not noticed anything and had no connection, he said naturally: "Do you want me to go out and deal with them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Wendy's admiring gaze.
Well, in the little girl's memory, her eldest brother wasn't very good at regulating the atmosphere or entertaining his superiors. Although she had quickly realized how much Igor had changed during her five years of absence, she was still often impressed by her brother's reliable aura.
Hmm... He's quite easy to talk to... This thought flashed through Coffey's mind.
No, no, no, I can't be deceived by the evil god. Perhaps there's a greater conspiracy hidden within this. But Marshal Sullivan seems to truly believe in Him. He would never betray humanity, and he would definitely not side with evil. Unless he's been brainwashed by the evil god, perhaps the intelligence the Vatican received previously contained some errors...
Then the boy suddenly realized what Azathoth meant. He jerked his head back from his fanatical state and asked in shock, "What? You mean the research institute out there is out of control?"
His reaction made it clear that he might indeed know about the creatures roaming outside.
Azathoth gave a subtle smile and led the way out. "We'll talk about Wendy later. Let's go out and take a look first."
Coffey followed him with full of doubts, anxiety and fear.
Behind them, Hugo gave Igor a meaningful look, not knowing how it could express such a complex idea without eyeballs: What did you understand?
Igor looked at it silently and said nothing.
After a while, the bionic man turned his head back in boredom, once again confirming the saying that people from the same family tend to be alike.
**
In the pouring rain, all the murderous intent and bloody smell, as well as the disaster and panic caused were washed away by the rain.
Between the dark gray sky and the earth, there is a vast expanse of white, as if all the sins are about to be buried with the death of those who know the truth.
Azathoth walked calmly in the rain, not a single drop of water staining his body. This time, even the few people following him were able to keep their clothes dry. They were protected by an invisible transparent cover. Although they could still feel the whistling wind as they walked, they no longer felt the resistance of moving forward in the rain.
In the hazy mist in the distance, you can see the terrifying shadows left by the black mountains, and the sound of waves hitting the rocks in the distance, mixed with the sound of rain, like a grand piece of music.
Suddenly, Azathoth, who was walking in front, stopped.
The people were all relatively close together, so even with their blurred vision, they didn't bump into each other. Kofi followed silently and stopped, hearing His voice clearly penetrate the rain curtain and reach his ears, just like before in the cave with a subtle echo.
"Here they come."
The speaker's tone was calm and leisurely, with a hint of inquiry in it. However, the blue-eyed boy, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, couldn't help but get nervous. His supernatural powers subconsciously spread out in all directions. In addition to his body that seemed to melt into the rain and turned into a translucent liquid colloid, the thoughts of various intelligent creatures around him also rushed towards him uncontrollably.
Kofi has what people often call the ability to "read minds", which is one of the reasons why he is valued within the Red Line Army.
However, in the Dharma Ending Age, no matter how powerful, supernatural powers are no match for firearms and are subject to severe limitations. This is also true for Kofi. His ability to receive the thoughts of others is strictly a byproduct of his ability to fluidize his body. To this day, no one can fully explain why this change occurs, but regardless, this ability, which he cannot actively control, can sometimes be very powerful, but at other times it can also bring a lot of trouble and danger.
Wendy Sullivan was cursing the people at the institute, saying they deserved it. While Coffey occasionally harbored such thoughts, he knew the dark side of politics wasn't something he should be exploring right now. Then again, Wendy wasn't particularly good at cursing... She kept repeating the same few words over and over again, suggesting she hadn't been exposed to much in the field, either at home or under Viscount Joyce's supervision.
Marshal Igor Sullivan, uh. Kofi was in a trance for a moment, unable to restrain himself, because the thoughts that suddenly came to him were too many and too complicated. It was hard to imagine that a young human being could actually think about such a huge problem in such a short time. He was worthy of being called the Marshal!
As for Hugo, if it hadn't been standing there perfectly fine with its two eyes reinstalled, Coffey would have suspected that there was no one here.
Otherwise, why is the idea conveyed by the supernatural power display blank?
Although judging by the fact that he had a pair of detachable eyes, Hugo couldn't be an ordinary person...
As for Azathoth who was walking in the front, Coffey had to use a lot of effort to prevent his supernatural power from drifting over.
Just by being around him, he could sense that extremely dangerous and terrifying aura. It was as if there was a massive black hole in the center, swallowing up all nearby light. No matter how curious he was about what lay on the other side of the black hole, Coffey didn't intend to risk it.
Just by imagining it, one can know what the consequences will be if one rashly accepts the thinking of a being that is far more powerful than oneself. Either one will become a fool due to the absolute suppression of the higher-dimensional being, or one will become a madman due to the overwhelming amount of information.
In this regard, because Coffey has been exposed to a lot since he was a child, he is more cautious than many people older than him.
Even humans have darkness buried deep within their hearts that should never be explored.
Once things that shouldn't be noticed are discovered, normal people will slowly be twisted into psychopaths.
While trying to control his supernatural powers, Coffey felt Azathoth looking down at him.
It was as if he sensed the possibility that he had almost crossed the line just now.
This simple glance made the boy sweat all over his back as if he was in the hottest days of summer, and the cold wind slowly blew over him, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.
What Wendy Sullivan was thinking at this time was: How could this Beta be so useless? I didn't even feel cold.
Although he tried his best to restrain himself, Coffey couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this thought.
Alas, although I don’t regret it, I still feel that it was a bit arrogant of me to come to meet my idol so hastily.
At this moment, the humans present finally saw the "indescribable creature" that Azathoth had mentioned.
Igor had previously speculated based on the murals that the corpses in the sea and the subjects of research on this nameless island were the original inhabitants of the island, those bird-lizard hybrid intelligent creatures. Before leaving the planet, they carved the stone tablets to warn future generations.
Of course, the Federation archaeological team had previously taken away more documents from here. Furthermore, the planet's indigenous inhabitants couldn't have been technologically backward to this degree, so they must have left behind a variety of messages, ranging from high-tech instruments easily preserved but difficult to decipher to stone carvings that even a gorilla could detect and identify. Furthermore, based on the murals, it's not difficult to surmise that their departure from the capital planet was due to an encounter with a powerful, invincible enemy... that indescribable... um, god.
Without going into too far, at least the biology born from the institute should also be related to the indigenous people.
Igor thought he would see the birth of dinosaurs.
But something went wrong, or something went wrong with the institute's results.
Crawling towards them on the ground in the heavy rain were creatures that, at first glance, looked a bit like dolls. They had grayish-white bodies, soft tissue that seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and white spider silk-like debris entwined around them.
Their bodies were covered in crimson lines, their eyes were giant black holes, and their open mouths were covered in unknown white debris, making them look like monsters crawling out of a horror film, with their teeth stuck after eating. These creatures, using their short limbs, approached them at an incredible speed, appearing hungry and greedy, their dark eyes emitting a lustful and evil light.
However, when it was within about five meters of Azathoth, the leading monster suddenly braked, opened its mouth wide, and revealed a human-like expression of surprise.
The large group following behind it probably didn't expect the leader to stop suddenly. They had been moving very fast before and didn't have the good eyesight of Hugo and the others. They only realized this when they got closer, and immediately rushed forward like a pile of people, knocking the one in the front to stagger again and again. It struggled to dig the ground with its two little claws, but even so, it refused to move forward another step.
"Oh..." Azathoth let out a long sound of sudden realization.
After he uttered the sound, the leading monster seemed to suddenly wake up and let out a sharp roar. The large group following it immediately scattered, rushing into the rain at a speed even faster than when they came, without a care in the world, not even a unified direction, as if they were so panicked that they didn't know what to do and could only run.
Their intelligence is much higher than it looks.
Coffey thought silently.
To be honest, he now had the urge to run with this group of monsters, because no matter how he thought about it, the things they feared must be more terrifying.
But reality didn't give him this opportunity. Igor walked into the rain and easily picked up the monster, which had given up on escaping to warn its kind and was still standing there stupidly, and walked back.
At this time, Coffey heard Marshal Sullivan thinking: It looks soft, but it feels hard.
Somehow I still feel a bit regretful.
