Chapter 227 Servant of Glaaki
"By the way, I just saw Rick in the water, Rick from the laboratory team. Something is not right with him. He seems to have been shouting something..."
Just when Milo was about to jump into the river, Eric seemed to remember something and grabbed Milo.
"It turned out to be Rick? The Rick who disappeared last night? He called out light, right? He said that the thing under the water is afraid of light?"
"It seems like this It’s happening.” Eric responded in sign language.
"I don't care whether this is true or not, go there and get some light on this rainy day..." Milo shook his head.
But before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of the capsized cargo ship. It was the ship that he, Eric and others found in the first place. It is still hanging on the There was no sinking on the water.
The boat under Milo's feet, which was only damaged later, was almost submerged by the river at this time.
……
Milo and the group of 7 looked at each other.
"That's a cargo ship, right?"
"Yeah." Everyone nodded.
"If it can float for so long, it must be carrying something on the boat..."
Milo's eyes suddenly lit up.
One minute I was talking about where to find light on a rainy day, but now it seems...
"It seems that there is nothing we can do."
…
…
On the broken bridge, Investigator C looked at Milo standing in the distance and about to sink. He was talking to himself in the air on the board of the boat, and held his forehead.
“Oh no, was he also attracted by the dream?”
Then he started to shout at Milo with his throat raised:
"Hey!! Focus! Don't be disturbed by those illusions, they are all fake! They were created by Glaki to confuse you! Stay rational Don’t believe what you see!”
Investigator C is anxious.
He did not expect that after the old seal was activated, it did not cause any harm to the ancient ones at the bottom of the river. It continued to induce dreams to the surrounding humans.
C remembered what his instructor said to him when he was a student a long time ago.
The instructor said that the old seals are just some very inferior methods that humans have searched through the ages. Whether it is ancient magic or incantation, the power contained in the old seals is actually not enough to fight against the ancients, even the most common ancients.
Strictly speaking, the Old Seal is not a weapon against the Ancients, but more like something that they will get bored of.
It's like hitting the enemy with shit, pretty much the same thing.
The Ancient One will feel disgusted and won't bother to argue with you, so he will find a cool place to stay.
This is the effect that old seals can have.
But once the Ancient One is irritated and its anger exceeds its aversion to poop, it can still endure the stench and come over to suffocate you.
Therefore, few investigators in the history of Miskatonic University can live to the age of retirement. Most of them died in a similar way in the corner of the world, and even the bodies could not be recovered.
Investigator C has known about the existence of this statement for a long time.
But he didn’t expect that even though he brought 4 pieces of shit this time, he failed to disgust the ancient person under the water.
Normally, these old guys who have lived for a long time are too lazy to care about humans, but for some reason, now they seem to be obsessed with this city, or in other words, with the city. Someone has an obsession.
Even hatred...
...
Realizing that something was wrong, Investigator C shouted frantically at Milo:
"Mr. Varrocan! Please hold on!" Don’t look at those illusions!”
…
On the river.
Milo's lower half is even soaked in water.
He vaguely heard the shouts coming from the broken bridge.
In the water, Eric's shadow gestured - "That person seems to be calling you trash." "It's Glachi."
Milo waved his hand: "He seems to know something. Maybe Glatchi is the name of the thing under the water. Forget it, leave him alone. Let's work first."
"Eric, Bones, Smoker and Henry , you guys follow me.”
“The rest of you, try to drag the cargo ship over, preferably underwater. I’ll buy you some time, and the rest will be up to you. You..."
Milo's eyes finally locked on Kane's shadow.
“You’re a Demoman, you know what I mean.”
Kane stretched out his hand and made an explosive motion.
Eric translated in sign language on the side - "Just wait and see the fireworks."
It was installed in the cabin of a cargo ship that could float on the water for so long without sinking. You can guess what it will be using your brain.
......
Everyone divided into two groups and started taking action.
Milo plunged into the river.
Investigator C’s heart dropped when he saw this scene on the broken bridge in the distance.
“Ah no…”
…
…
underwater.
Milo found that his current body density seemed to be quite high.
In my impression, as long as the figure is not too weird, normal people can lie flat on the water and float.
But Milo found that after he jumped into the water, he did not even float up and down, but sank straight to the bottom of the water.
He didn't know how much the few mouthfuls of the Scarlet Witch's blood he drank had transformed his body. At least it now proved that the density was definitely much higher than before.
Under the water.
Milo saw many living corpses.
Including the living corpses whose joints had been shattered by him and their ability to move were also included, as well as some that had turned into living corpses but temporarily stayed in the water without moving.
On both sides of the river bed, there were ordinary people jumping off the shore one after another. They had not turned into living corpses, but were attracted by the illusion and lost their self-awareness. They actively moved towards the man deep under the water. Movement in the direction of the Ancient One.
The world underwater is much quieter and scarier than above the water.
The visibility was extremely low, and it was pitch black under his feet. It wasn't until Milo felt his feet touch the soft mud that he was sure he had reached the bottom of the river.
Milo can see the figure of the group of 7 in the turbid river water.
Lao Luo’s shadow came to lead the way.
In a position surrounded by living corpses, Milo was finally able to see the true face of the so-called ancient one.
……
It was a giant slug-like creature.
Its oval body has countless pointed and sharp spines that look like colorful metals.
At the rounder end of the oval is a soft, foamy face with a round and thin mouth, with three eye stalks protruding from it that bear yellow eyes.
The underside of the body is covered with white cones that may be used for movement.
The diameter of its body is at least several meters wide...
Long tentacles grew on it...
It stood up, the roar of pulsing and swinging was deafening, and the spines pierced the victims who were attracted by dreams.
Those thorns are the long needles used by the raven that Milo once saw from the perspective of Robben's undead.
As the thorns penetrate the victim's body, some viscous and strange liquid is injected into the victim's body.
Subsequently, these weak humans completely transformed into servants of Glaaki...
