The golden light of the setting sun added a layer of gentle and beautiful splendor to the mirage-like city.
At that moment, Gu Jun's heart warmed. It was like a thirsty man who had finally tasted water. It was clear and sweet, just like the spring water that sprayed out from the silver fountain in the spacious square and fragrant garden of this dreamy city. It was free of impurities.
This made his heart surge with excitement, but at the same time, he was a little timid from disbelief.
City of Dusk, Randolph Carter Foundation
Was there really such an organization? He and Yu Chi had been searching for a stronger organization that could help their world?
Was he hallucinating? Or was it a conspiracy by the enemy?
"The purpose of our foundation is to help and unite the various human worlds, to prevent the spread of the underworld …"
That loud and clear male voice was still ringing out.
They stood on the wide marble paved street. The sides of the street were lined with lush trees, colorful flowers, and exquisite ivory statues. Rows upon rows of classic buildings with red roofs, cobblestone alleys, and green lawns.
This City of Dusk was like a kingdom of heaven.
Gu Jun, after you and Yu Chi connected to us, we started to move as well … You can maintain your suspicion but remember, the power in this universe is not limited to the Great Old Ones and Nyarlathotep … There are other existences, other powers … "Gu Jun sighed and said," But we are under many restrictions … Gu Jun, after you and Yu Chi connected to us, we started to move as well … You can maintain your suspicion but remember, the power in this universe is not limited to the Great Old Ones and Nyarlathotep …
"Mortals can become stronger and gain more power while retaining their human intelligence … Randolph Carter is like that …"
Hearing this, Gu Jun felt like he had been injected with a shot of adrenaline. His heart beat even faster.
If mortals sought power from the Great Old Ones, they would have to sacrifice and pay the price.
But was there another way? Randolph Carter?
Names had power, and this name made Gu Jun feel a sense of kinship with humanity, a sense of light and nobility.
What kind of person would that be …
"The City of Dusk was created by Randolph Carter …" The man's voice was filled with reverence. "We are following in his footsteps … His experiences are more dangerous than any of us. We only know some of them. He saw through Nyarlathotep, faced Yog-Sothoth … Now he is missing, but he is still the original Randolph Carter, this city is proof … We … can also …"
Gu Jun vaguely saw a tall figure overlooking the beautiful scenery from the highest balcony of the city.
However, the scene in front of him was gradually becoming blurry, and his consciousness was being dragged away.
"Due to being noticed by those dark forces, your world will definitely fall into a greater danger … When you return, contact us as soon as possible, but don't be hasty … Due to the limitations of time and space, and the process of tempering your body and spirit, we can't directly give you power … We will help you improve in a way that you can understand. You have to wait for it to recover, gradually digest and accept it, and at the same time, you will know how to contact us …"
"Remember, never give up hope, we still have a chance …"
At that moment, Gu Jun not only heard the man's voice, he also heard the other people on the street calling him, encouraging him.
"Turn your heart to the light, never despair!"
For some reason, Gu Jun's eyes were moist.
Perhaps it was because he and every warrior from the Mysterium World and Phecda World were not alone …
"Go home! Your friends are looking forward to your return, have a safe journey! "
Suddenly, Gu Jun saw the golden light from the setting sun brighten. A large and warm force wrapped around him.
Prof Armitage who was lying on the ground had already stopped breathing. He exploded into a pool of stinking pus.
The reading room cracked in the violent quake, so did the world inside the movie.
Gu Jun could feel himself rising into the air. He did not need to do anything before he landed in a colorful space. However, none of the colors were blinding. They gave him a sense of vitality. He felt a sense of familiarity. The familiar severed finger, the familiar PEEK skull, and the familiar scar … Gu Jun felt himself being lifted into the air.
These injuries and scars looked so adorable.
But that was not all, Gu Jun felt something he had not felt for a long time. His hands became calm and his heart leaped.
It was the two powers that he once possessed, they had returned.
In his mind, the ball of chaos glowed with a golden light. It was the power of the City of Dusk surging into his mind.
Soon, in the haze, he saw the ball of chaos reform into a new interface, the system's interface …
"Ah!" Gu Jun could not help but scream. He realized this was the method that the foundation mentioned. Any kind of help was more than enough for him.
The changes in the space-time passageway were very fast. It was as though he was in the vast expanse of outer space, as though he was passing by planets.
Then, he saw a blue planet.
His consciousness suddenly became clearer. His body was filled with strength, much stronger than before.
With a thud, Gu Jun fell heavily to the ground. He felt a slight pain.
He took a deep breath and looked around. He saw a field with matured straw. He landed on the road. The sun hung in the sky, and the loud chirping of cicadas could be heard. Out of the rice field, there was a road in the distance. There were telephone poles and power lines. There were cars passing by.
This did not look like a remote village. It looked more like a semi-urban area.
"My backpack …" Gu Jun then realized his backpack was beside him. He picked it up and looked. The Carlop equipment was still there.
He stood up, touched his left hand, touched his forehead, and pulled at his crotch. It was his old body.
The words of the people from the foundation flashed through his mind again. He looked into his mind. There was indeed an interface there.
But different from the previous interface, this interface had a faint golden edge.
This power appeared in the form of a system, to guide him on how to improve himself and how to contact the City of Dusk.
Gu Jun tried to open it but as the man said, it was still loading. He had to wait for it to recover.
On one hand, he told himself to remain calm, to not place too much trust in other powers; on the other hand, he was excited, he had found a new team.
He still needed to sort out the messy thoughts in his head.
"I've left the world of the King in Yellow. The shackles that Nyarlathotep placed on me have been broken."
Gu Jun raised his eyes and looked around. It felt different. There was no floating or swaying. It was solid. Unfortunately, he did not get the chance to read the Necropolis and did not get the chance to say goodbye to Bob, Janet and the rest. In that short period of time, there was some warmth … 'I hope they're all well …'
He picked up his backpack. Even though he was still wary of his surroundings, his heart was warm. Many faces flashed across his mind, they were his real friends.
'I'm back, the Phecda World … '
Listening to the chirping of cicadas, Gu Jun walked towards the road outside the rice field.
