Suddenly, the split cross symbol in the ritual imprint on the floor glowed with a different golden light. Another power grew stronger.
Prof Armitage, who had turned into a half-human monster, started to chant. His voice was laced with pain, "No, ah, you idiots, do not stop me …" Blood leaked out from the rows of eyes on the doctor's face. "Father!"
It was a short tug of war. Everything around them shook. The bookshelves melted and the empty books fell to the ground.
The Necronomicon in the old doctor's hands fell to the ground and flipped open to the middle page.
To Gu Jun, this was undoubtedly a huge temptation. His eyes were tempted to turn over to see what was written on the book …
But he knew once he did, his mind would be taken away by the dark forces. He would be trapped in an unknown dimension forever, unable to find his way home.
The ritual was taking effect. Time and space were twisting. Yog-Sothoth's shadow was about to descend.
At that moment, Hannah, who sat across from him, suddenly curled her lips into a smile that Gu Jun recognized. Then the witch's voice said, "Brother, that's all. The time crack has appeared. Big sister will be leaving first."
It was Keziah Mason! Gu Jun had no idea whether Hannah had always been the witch or she had just awakened.
Regardless, at that moment, Hannah Mazurewicz was undoubtedly Keziah Mason.
In an instant, she struggled free from the ropes that bound her. In the blink of an eye, she was standing beside one of the walls of the reading room. Prof Armitage could not stop her. She waved at the wall and the wall twisted into an indescribable angle.
Gu Jun understood what the warden said. This was not the kaleidoscope drawn by Dirty-minded Yu but something else …
"Goodbye, brother." Keziah Mason chuckled. "Nyarlathotep's restraint on me ends here. I'm going to find some other entertainment. I hope you can survive and leave this place. That will be more interesting. "As she finished, she walked into the wall and disappeared into the strange angle.
Keziah Mason left this world and this scenario. She went to an unknown time and space.
Suddenly, only Prof Armitage and Gu Jun were left in the strange reading room.
"Ah …" Prof Armitage was beside himself with rage. The tentacles that reached out from his chest reached out to wrap around Gu Jun. They lifted him and the chair high into the air. "Yog-Sothoth knows the door. Yog-Sothoth was the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guard of the gate … "
Gu Jun's neck was tightly strangled by a tentacle. Because he couldn't breathe, his face had already turned red and purple.
The surging smell of blood and stench rushed into his nose, making him feel even more uncomfortable. He couldn't breathe or speak …
The tentacles that were strangling his body pulled in different directions, trying to tear him apart.
Enduring the excruciating pain all over his body, Gu Jun continued to gather his mental power and continued to sense the split cross symbol.
In his heart, he had not completely denied his initial judgment of the power behind the symbol. It did not seem like dark power. Instead, it made him feel like he was basking in the warmth of the sun. Was it really Nyarlathotep behind the symbol, or was it Nyarlathotep who created the confusion?
But Gu Jun's consciousness started to blur. Everything was leaving him. His skin was torn by the tentacles and blood splattered everywhere.
Was he really going to die here …
Strangely enough, at that moment, Gu Jun could vaguely hear the sound of a dog barking.
His consciousness became more and more blurry, but the dog's barking became clearer and closer.
Suddenly, Gu Jun saw from the corner of his eyes that the wooden door of the reading room was rammed open. Several dark shadows rushed in and pounced on Prof Armitage. It was 3 large black dogs! The dog barking was not an illusion, nor was it any other similar sound.
It was really just the barking of dogs.
As they barked, they pounced on the half-human monster. They tore at the tentacles, the monster's swollen throat, face, eyes …
"Ah!!" Prof Armitage screamed, "No … go away … save me, father … father … father! Yog-Sothoth … "
They were the library's guard dogs, they were the closest to the old prof but now they tore his throat and snapped his tentacles.
Perhaps they knew that George Armitage was already dead.
Initially, Gu Jun was slightly taken aback. Even lions and tigers would tremble in fear in the face of these strange and terrifying creatures, and humans would collapse on the spot. But now, these three gigantic guard dogs were ordinary creatures that were commonly seen on the university campus.
Yet they were so brave and fearless. They bit down on the monster and weakened the power of the ritual.
Using this chance, Gu Jun channeled all his energy and mental power to struggle free from the bloody tentacles.
After so many days, Gu Jun heard the mysterious signal again, "If you can hear us, we are … good people …" He frowned and shouted, "I can hear you, I'm here, I'm Gu Jun, I'm trapped by Nyarlathotep!"
Prof Armitage who was still fighting the 3 guard dogs howled before his death. It was filled with resentment …
At this time, the three fierce dogs suddenly understood fear. After a long and mournful howl, they hastily fled.
Gu Jun's mind was not fully awake, he was still under the influence of the ritual and the old prof's mental power.
Because of this, he felt as if the scene before him had happened in this library before, and this time, it was just a repeat of history.
Suddenly, he saw clearly, it was Wilbur Whatley, the half-human, half-god's son died like this, he was bitten to death by the library's guard dogs.
Prof Armitage eventually became Wilbur Whatley, even their fates were the same.
But at that moment, the old man was still breathing. He crawled on the floor, dragging a trail of blood behind him.
The reading room was about to collapse, this library and this world appeared to be in the same predicament.
Gu Jun looked around. He had the chance to leave but he would not open the dimensional door like the witches. At that moment, from the split cross on the floor, the golden light swallowed the other symbols and colors. As if purifying, the stench and blood disappeared.
The light was so bright that Gu Jun had to squint. The blurry image floated before him like he was looking at a mirage.
Was it an illusion … It was a beautiful ancient city bathed in the round sunset, and the golden light was the light of the setting sun …
A clear river flowed through the city. In the blur, he could see lush trees, exquisite buildings and some figures standing on the streets.
Gu Jun's heart was filled with joy.
He saw that they were human figures, there were many of them.
"Gu Jun!"
Someone called him from the crowd on the wide stone street. It was intermittent but clear, it was the voice of the mysterious signal.
"This is the City of Dusk, we are members of the Randolph Carter Foundation, we come from different worlds, we are good people! We fight against Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth … we fight against the Great Old Ones … we will help you return to your world …
We don't have much time left. Listen, every word I say is very important … "
