48 Hours a Day - Chapter 1259
Chapter 1259 Special Container
Whether it was nyala totip or azatos, these two names were unfamiliar to Zhang Heng.
After realizing that he might be involved in a game of gods, Zhang Heng scanned through all the myths and legends available on the market, however, whether it was Greek mythology, Roman mythology, Norse mythology, or even the ancient Celtic mythology, there was no story related to these two names.
However, Zhang Heng knew very well that this was different from the first time he encountered the monster from Papua New Guinea. The tribe that worshipped the monster had already died out in the long river of history, therefore, in modern society, almost no one still knew the name of the monster. It could only survive in the frozen time world.
However, the opponent Zhang Heng faced this time was obviously not such a trash. When Sartrus told the strange story, he mentioned something that caught Zhang Heng’s attention. He said that mankind was living on an island called ignorance, and it was surrounded by a black ocean, however, the Black Ocean was not an obstacle to exploring the outside world, but a form of pity and protection for mankind. Therefore, we should never get close to the truth, because that would bring endless madness and fear.
And as if to confirm his own story, after he and Dr. Baker came back from the expedition with mental problems, the two tried to find out why, sachus found a novel in the library about the city under the ice, but after reading one of the articles, his mental condition worsened, and the nightmares became more frequent, so the two had to stop their investigation.
After that, they both chose to live in seclusion, trying to isolate themselves from the outside world. Sachus had not watched TV for more than ten years, and he had gone online, this showed that the thing they were afraid of was not a nobody.
Loki had mentioned before his death that because humans felt that the previous version of the Apocalypse was not exciting enough, they had created a new god by slapping their heads. Not only did he have the genes to kill, but he also had the seeds of destruction, this new God fed on fear and spread like a virus through the internet. He reaped the faith and grew at an unimaginable speed.
If everything went according to plan, this new God would be the master of the city under the ice. The current boss that Nyala Totipp mentioned was also the culprit that caused Sartrus and Dr. Baker to fall into madness, however, the strange thing was that Zhang Heng did not know of its existence at all before this.
This situation was undoubtedly not normal. When he connected it to the porcelain metaphor Nara totip had mentioned not long ago, Zhang Heng frowned, “Someone has done something to my body to prevent me from receiving any information related to you. Who is the person who did this, Kronos?”
“Your intuition is very sharp,”the monster in the Black Fog said, “That’s right. Kronos, at the request of your adoptive parents, created a protective talisman for you. That protective talisman can cut off the connection between you and the Master of Underice City. At the same time, it can also chase everything related to it out of your life. Well, you can think of that protective talisman as an escort software similar to Green Dam. It can automatically block out information that is very dangerous to you.”
“Danger?”
“That’s right. Your situation is very special. The Master of the city under the ice did not stay there voluntarily. It is rumored that it will only wake up from its slumber and bring about the destruction of the world when the astrological sign returns to its position. However, no one knows when the astrological sign will return to its position. This matter originally sounded like a gimmick to trick people. Therefore, over the years, its minions and believers have been looking for new ways to let their master leave the city.
“They made many attempts and put in an unimaginable amount of effort. Unfortunately, most of their efforts were in vain. The seal of the constellation was very strong, and their master’s body was completely unable to leave the underwater city. They could only influence its believers and potential believers through their spirit. Finally, a smart person among them was inspired after a nightmare and found a way that seemed feasible at least in theory.
“Since their master’s body can not leave the city, why don’t they create a container and let their master’s spirit descend into that container to break out of that Cage?”? When he told the other fanatics about this method, the fanatics were all excited because they seemed to be able to see the day when their master returned to the Earth.
“But this method sounds simple, but it’s not easy at all. Because containers are too difficult to find. This is not something that you can use by simply building pots and pans on the roadside. Their master’s spirit, just from the spirit that he emitted in his sleep, is enough to make ordinary humans fall into madness, fall seriously ill, or even go crazy.
“Not to mention accepting the arrival of the main body. Although the Zealots regard this as their life’s glory, their spirit will probably be unable to bear it at the beginning of the arrival ceremony, and they will choose to kill themselves. Therefore, choosing a suitable container has become their top priority.
“They tried a lot of things, and in the end, they found that among all the test subjects, the newborns had the best compatibility, not only with humans, but also with all kinds of animals. However, they also took a detour after that. Initially, they set their sights on the newborns who were born with psychic abilities, and for that, they even attacked the Inuit tribe in Greenland. Those psychic newborns were indeed easier to accept, but they only lasted a little longer than ordinary people, and they still could not survive the ritual.
“The fanatics were very troubled until they got a special baby in Tibet. He was different from the others when he was born. He could still breathe and have a heartbeat. His physiological functions were normal, but he lost his soul. There was no light in his big eyes. He looked like two glass marbles. He was abandoned in front of the temple by his biological parents.
“The monks in the temple found him, but they couldn’t help but sigh when they saw him, because they knew that this child should never have been born in the human world. Even if he was born, he was destined to die soon. However, the monks were kind-hearted, so they took the child into the temple and fed him with rice porridge.
“However, no one expected that the fanatics in the deep mountains would find out about this news. They attacked the temple on a moonless night. Although they were repelled by the monks in the end, they succeeded in snatching the child, the container that they dreamed of.”
