Marvel's Great Old Ones

At nine o'clock in the evening, a transaction worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in GDP was going on in a dock warehouse by the Hudson River.

"Damn, why is it so cold today?" A guard holding a 556-caliber AR-15 automatic rifle shrank his neck and paced back and forth on the ground.

"Haha, Carl, were you drained dry by that Mexican bitch last night?" A stronger guard next to him mocked: "Or maybe you sucked in too much flour. Do you want me to help you take care of your wife?"

"Hey, damn it, shut your stinky mouth, Dave, you're just one..." Sincere greetings to the other party's family erupted from Carl's mouth.

The two guards next to him also started laughing and making cheers.

The four people are responsible for guarding the door of the warehouse to ensure that this transaction is not disturbed by the outside world.

In fact, the warehouse guard is just a decoration. After all, the people conducting transactions inside are the men of New York's underworld emperor Kingpin and the men of the brutal and reckless Russian gangster Joseph.

As long as they are behind New York, no one dares to provoke these two people at the same time.

"You three watch, I'm going to use the restroom nearby." A strong Russian man tightened his gun belt, said this and walked towards the container not far away from the light. The three guards gave him a middle finger.

At the hanging tower not far from the container, Li Xiu, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at the approaching Russian man, smiled and touched the top of the container.

That's right, what he said was a big deal was coming to these places where gangsters trade. (I guess he has no brains to do anything but cheat.)

It turns out that he had to break the necks of three gangsters to find out the address of this transaction.

It doesn't matter if a fight breaks out or not. If those people run away with the money, he will have to sleep in those bridge holes tonight. He doesn't have a US passport and can't stay in a hotel.

It would be nice if he was familiar with Brooklyn. Even without a passport, he could go to those black hotels that only care about money.

It's a pity that his knowledge of Brooklyn, that is, Hell's Kitchen, is limited to movies and some comic book settings.

The strong Russian man was whistling and standing in the shadow of the container with water. The moment he put on his pants, a tentacle instantly penetrated his head.

Without even a struggle, the strong man lay down on the ground and received the lunch box neatly.

The tentacles of the shoggoth's body are made of a material that is impossible for mortals to reach, and are very tough and powerful.

Depending on the thickness when splitting, the tentacles can easily erupt with a force of several tons to dozens of tons, and when they erupt, the tentacles as a whole are as hard as special alloys.

Like a straw inserted into a drink, the tentacle makes a gurgling sound. The strong man shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally only a suit of clothes and a rifle were left on the ground, and even his hair was completely absorbed by the glutton's stomach.

The original way of eating for Shoggoths is to wrap food like liquid, but Li Xiu has not yet matured and is a bit small, unable to completely wrap up prey that is too large.

His body melted like a ball of black mud, and Li Xiu shrank into the shadow cast from the inside of the container.

Rolling up the vocal cords belonging to the strong man that had been left on the ground, Li Xiu pressed them onto the asphalt-like body.

"Cough cough cough, okay"

After getting used to it, he actually made a strong man's voice!

"Hey, um, any of you brought some paper, bring me some."

The three guards turned around when they heard the strong man's voice and all gave cordial greetings.

"Fake, don't you fucking bring paper to the toilet? Do you usually use your hands to fasten it?" Karl touched his pocket, and he was the only one with paper on him, and said with a look of disgust: "You guys wait here, I'm going to deliver paper to that idiot, and I'm going to kick him in the butt."

Carl cursed and walked towards the container. After a while, his voice suddenly sounded.

"Hey Dave, I think you two need to come over here and see what this idiot did."

Dave and the other Russian looked at each other with curiosity on their faces, wondering what Carl had discovered.

"Carl, what's going on? Did he really buckle it with his hands?" Dave said loudly: "Did you use your fingers?"

"Fake Squid, Dave, you two come and see for yourselves."

The two looked at each other and walked towards the container muttering.

Turning the corner, Karl's blue-grey face with wide eyes came into view.

Before the startled two people could react, a pool of black stuff fell from the tower crane above their heads and landed on their heads.

The thing spread out in all directions, entangled the arms of Dave and Dave, and rushed towards the two people's bodies from their mouths, ears, eyes and nose.

In the end, the two died of suffocation, and together with Karl's body, they made a huge contribution to Li Xiu's energy reserves.

……

The camera turned to the warehouse. A dozen people inside the warehouse did not know what was happening outside, and the transaction was in a stalemate.

The Russians disliked the poor quality of the weapons brought by the Kingpin and refused to pay the full price to complete the deal.

Kingpin's men demanded that the other party must pay the full price on the grounds that the Russians had experienced the goods in advance.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and both sides were at war with each other, pointing guns at each other.

Bill wiped the sweat from his forehead. Before he came, he had promised his boss to complete today's transaction. If he failed, although he would not die, his future life would definitely not be easy.

Of course, that boss couldn't be Jin Bin, he wasn't qualified yet, and even his boss's boss might not have seen Jin Bin, who was gradually beginning to retreat behind the scenes.

The atmosphere seemed to be at a stalemate when suddenly a loud sound of music sounded, and everyone raised their heads and looked above the source of the sound.

A yellow man in shabby clothes was holding a black Walkman and pulling at the roof of the warehouse. The music came from the external player.

"Well, I think there's something wrong with the atmosphere. I want to play a song to calm it down. Please forgive me. Please forgive me." Li Xiu stiffened for a moment and said with an awkward smile: "Don't worry about me. You continue. You continue. Just continue." As if I didn’t exist.”

"What happened? Where did this madman come from? How did Dave and the others guard him? Kill him!" Bill raised his gun angrily, roaring, but feeling relieved in his heart.

Although I don't know where this guy came from, now this madman has broken the stalemate. Anyway, he has seen too many idiots who want to pretend to be heroes, and they just kill one person.

"Oh, dear babies, it's wrong to play with guns. It can go off easily and hurt people."

The lights in the warehouse suddenly flickered a few times and then all went out, leaving only a few rays of cool moonlight from the glass skylight.

The sudden darkness made everyone panic, and a burst of crackling gunshots brought several low muffled grunts.

"Fake, stop, put down your guns!" Seeing Li Xiu's figure disappearing into the darkness, and then people from both sides were shot, Bill quickly stopped him, but he was not killed by the enemy for a while. He was killed by his own people.

In the darkness, Li Xiu's figure flashed through several firelights quickly, and he let out a maniacal laugh.

"Ah, save me!" A guy who was aiming a gun at random suddenly let out a horrified cry and was dragged into the darkness by the tentacles stretching out from the darkness.

"Fire!"

Seeing his little brother being dragged into the darkness, Bill did not hesitate to draw his gun and shoot. At the same time, he did not forget to direct everyone to fire at the place where the tentacles extended.

The sparks ejected from the muzzles of more than thirty guns briefly illuminated the darkness, but only caused the man who was dragged into the darkness to stop shouting.

"Stop!!" Bill raised his hand and listened carefully, only hearing the heavy breathing of everyone.

"Ah, it hurts. It hurts me so much."

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, bursts of moans and creepy chewing sounds suddenly sounded in the darkness.

Several more tentacles shot out from the darkness and wrapped around the three thugs.

puff!

Due to excessive force, one of the thugs who was entangled by three tentacles at the same time sprayed out various internal organs and blood like a squeezed can.

Someone turned around and wanted to rush out the door, but in the blink of an eye, they were cut into pieces by the flashing shadow.

Several of the men screamed in collapse, and some even sat on the ground and prayed for God's blessing, and eventually turned into scattered rotten flesh.

Bill held the pistol that had been empty tightly in his hand and pulled the trigger in vain. He fell to his knees on the ground, his eyes were dry, and tears mixed with saliva flowed down unconsciously.

There was only a mess left on the scene, and blood gathered into puddles on the floor of the warehouse, mixed with eyes, intestines, and severed hands...

A pool of Li Xiu flowed out of the darkness, and from time to time, brass-colored bullet casings fell from his body to the ground, making a crisp sound.

The fluid gradually gathers into a human shape and simulates a layer of clothing on the surface of the body.

Li Xiu stepped out of the Shoggoth's body, covered the face of the man kneeling on the ground with his hands, and leaned close to his ear. His gentle tone was like coaxing a child to sleep.

"Close your eyes, the child will have nightmares after watching this."
