Marvel's Great Old Ones

The hype about the Church of Fools on the Internet has slowly begun to become heated, attracting the attention and discussion of many idle and panicked people, and Bruce is one of them.

Unlike those chattering people on the Internet, Bruce, as a young rich second generation and college student, is an activist.

Just today, he made an appointment with three netizens who also like the Cthulhu Mythos to go to the first church of the Church of Fools in Hell's Kitchen to check out the situation.

Bruce drove a Ferrari worth more than 200,000 US dollars and took the lead to wait for the other three netizens between Manhattan and Brooklyn.

After waiting in the car for about half an hour, the three netizens finally arrived.

"Hi! Here!"

Bruce waved his hand, and a man, two women and three people got out of an ordinary family car.

When he saw the girl who got out of the car last, wearing glasses and with a pure face, Bruce's eyes lit up, she was his cup of tea!

"Hello, I'm Bruce. We have made an appointment to go to the Church of the Fool together this time."

The three of them looked at Bruce, who was wearing low-key clothes but driving a luxury car, with some suspicion, and each stepped forward to introduce him.

The tall and strong man is called Garcia. The tall and stylish girl next to him is Garcia's girlfriend Jessica, and the elegant girl next to him is Garcia's sister Ariana.

Several people introduced each other and talked about the news they had searched on the Internet.

Since they are all netizens who prefer the Cthulhu Mythos, and they are all college students aged 19 or 20, the few of them can talk quite harmoniously.

"That's it, I'm getting ready to enter Brooklyn. This time I picked a road from the map. I didn't go through the center of Brooklyn, but followed the edge of Manhattan and detoured directly to the Church of Fools. It's safer this way. Just follow me when the time comes."

Bruce waved, making sure that Garcia got into his Ferrari after hearing it, and took the lead to drive out of the convenience store parking lot on the roadside.

It's a pity that Ariana refused the invitation to ride in the car with him, otherwise all the beauties in the car would be there.

As soon as you enter Brooklyn from the Manhattan Highway, the biggest change is that the various public facilities are suddenly dilapidated, and the surrounding environment is also dilapidated.

Along the way, Bruce looked at the scene in Brooklyn with curiosity.

Although he has never been to Brooklyn, the name of Hell's Kitchen in Brooklyn is still very famous among this group of idle students. It is often heard that someone made a mistake and fell here. It seems like this is a place that tempts people to fall.

But according to what Bruce sees now, Brooklyn is just lagging behind, and it still looks pretty normal.

From time to time, the chatter and laughter of Garcia and Jessica came from the mobile phone in the car, and Bruce tried hard to distinguish Ariana's voice.

He doesn't like Jessica, not just because she squeezed his palm when she shook hands, but also because the girl he likes is the kind of nice girl who is gentle and quiet.

In fact, in Europe and the United States, quiet and soft girls like Ariana are not popular. Those guys like hot and hot girls like Jessica.

Although Bruce's family is relatively wealthy and he can be regarded as a rich second generation, his parents were quite strict with him and did not raise him to be a loser.

As a top student who was admitted to the Finance Department of Manhattan University, Bruce said that he likes Ariana's elegant and soft tone.

After driving for nearly half an hour, the four of them finally saw the shadow of the Church of Fools.

The first thing that catches the eye is the tall tower and the bell tower, and the next thing is a large swath of dazzling colorful glass.

When you walk in, you will find that the church frame is made up of many twisting spiral lines, with various weird and mysterious symbols in the details.

The four of them parked their cars in the empty outdoor parking lot of the church. As soon as they got out of the car, they started chattering excitedly about the Church of Fools.

It was now about twelve o'clock at noon, and the people who came to worship at the Church of Fools were all Brooklyn residents. They looked at the chattering four people with a look of care for the mentally retarded.

Bruce asked Garcia to lead the way, while he approached Ariana and intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to the girl to explore the girl's situation.

However, as the four of them slowly approached the church, a faint sense of solemnity prompted them to stop their discussion, and a sense of solemnity in worshiping the gods arose spontaneously.

Entering the church, the four of them could not help but tremble and exclaimed in low voices.

It was a humanoid statue with a black main body and a height of about four meters. The tentacles or long strips of clothing were suspended in the air. Matching the dim environment, the candlelight on the silver candlesticks and the dark purple starry sky-style curtains.

Bruce lowered his head and secretly held his breath. An unreasonable sense of holiness penetrated the bottom of his heart.

If they had come with a playful and casual feeling, now a sense of pious faith slowly filled him.

"Praise be to the primordial god of chaos, the blind and foolish great Azathoth!"

A fanatical call came out of Ariana's mouth on the side. This girl, who originally had a calm and elegant face, now had a flushed face with a look of fanaticism on her face.

"Praise my Lord!" An ethereal man's voice came from the back of the auditorium. A tall yellow man wearing a black missionary robe opened the purple curtain and stood in front of the four people.

"Praise the supreme, blind and foolish my lord Azathoth, then are you also my lord's devout people? I am the bishop here, you can call me Li Mo."

As the bishop of the Church of Fools arrived, a kind of ethereal inspiration that calmed the brain came over, and the four of them, together with the Brooklyn civilians next to them, quickly bent down and saluted.

Li Mo calmly looked at the young white girl wearing glasses in the crowd, not knowing what he was thinking as his eyes flashed.

"My Lord has given me the revelation that I was born in a spiritual dimension. This young girl, please tell me your name." Li Mo lowered his head and stared at Ariana's blue eyes that were bloodshot due to excitement.

"My—my name is Ariana, your dear bishop." Ariana stammered nervously, and Li Xiu could even hear her rapidly beating heartbeat.

"Eliana?" Li Mo did not ask again. Instead, like a real bishop, he led a few people to visit the adjusted murals in the church.

Bruce excitedly took out the camera he had prepared. He wanted to take pictures of everything he saw that was astonishing, so that he could brag about it to his online friends and alumni.

Garcia and Jessica on the side also took out their mobile phones and took pictures of the creepy, horrifying and weird murals on the wall that were in line with the Cthulhu style.

But the eyes of Ariana, who had been following Li Mo closely, gradually became blurred and hazy.

After walking around the auditorium, the altar and the gospel platform, Li Mo brought everyone to the statue again.

This time, Ariana slowly walked forward and approached the statue. She slowly knelt in front of the statue, lowered her head, as if she had a high fever, her face was flushed, and her eyes were blurred.

Li Mo stopped Garcia and Bruce who were trying to get closer. Facing their angry and questioning looks, he still spoke in that ethereal voice.

"This girl has been chosen by our Lord. She is now facing the majesty of our Lord's incarnation. She will see true greatness."

"What's wrong with me?" Not long after, Ariana got up from the ground in shock as if she had sobered up after being drunk.

"You just..." Bruce was suddenly interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Okay, let's talk about it after we go out. There are things that need to be dealt with in the church today, so you can go out first." Li Mo suddenly drove them out regardless of the astonished expressions of several people and those in Brooklyn.

Looking at the closed church door, the four people were a little confused. What was going on? It felt like it started but ended. Why did that strange Father Li Mo drive them out?

"Hey, you are from the outer area. Let me tell you, you'd better leave Brooklyn before six o'clock, otherwise it will be very dangerous!"

A white aunt on the side who was about to leave saw the four people standing at the gate muttering and started discussing, and kindly reminded them.

Behind the glass window of the church, Li Mo put down the purple curtain, turned around and walked towards Li Xiu's bedroom.
