Marvel's Great Old Ones

Garcia cut the pork chop on the dinner plate into pieces and smashed it into pieces.

It can be seen that this tall and strong guy did not put his mind on eating. He was just mechanically repeating the cutting action in his hands.

"Garcia, what's wrong? You've been in a state of despair these past few days?" His girlfriend Jessica, who was eating and taking pictures with her mobile phone, took photos and noticed something was wrong with her boyfriend.

Garcia is like a fool now, his face is pale, his eyes are empty, his expression is dull, he doesn't know what he is thinking, he looks like a fool.

Garcia's condition has not been very good these days. He has not attended the school baseball team's training for several days, and now he is absent-minded during dates.

"Um - ah, what, Jessica, what did you just say?" Garcia heard his girlfriend's call and suddenly came out of his distraction.

"Garcia-" Jessica put away her phone and said with a worried tone: "What's wrong with you these days? You've been distracted. Did something happen?"

"Ah, is there any?" Garcia nervously took a few bites of the pork chop on the plate in front of him and changed the subject to other places. "What's the problem? I was just looking at the past and sighing."

"You are sighing, but you just refuse to say it..." Jessica put down the phone, and suddenly asked in a low voice with an ugly look on her face: "Don't you want to find a new girlfriend? Say, you are There’s no one else at school!”

"Ah, what are you talking about! How can I find a girlfriend again?" Garcia lowered his voice and tried to explain. People in the restaurant had already started to notice them.

"Then why are you so perfunctory with me? What's wrong? I'm worried about you." Jessica's tone was sincere, her face full of worry. If you ignore Garcia's toes that have been stepping on her under the table.

"I - ow!" Garcia looked ferocious, stretched out his feet from under the table, and said while rubbing his toes: "I was really just thinking about something.

"Have you felt anything different about Ariana these past few days?" Garcia lowered his voice, as if to avoid something.

"Ariana!?"

Jessica was stunned. What does this have to do with Ariana?

"Ever since we came back from the Church of Fools in Brooklyn that day, I feel like Ariana has become a different person." Garcia's eyes were full of doubt and the fear and uneasiness hidden deep in his heart.

"What's wrong with her? I haven't seen her in the past few days?" Jessica leaned her head closer.

"She always insists on going to that church to pray every day, and she invites some classmates and friends from time to time. Do you remember that rich second-generation Bruce? That guy goes there often. I always feel that there is something wrong with that church, very... The big problem is that the yellow bishop’s reaction that day was really suspicious.”

"And do you remember what happened to Ariana in that church that day? We later thought it was a sudden fever or body heat."

"But after I got home that day, I felt that she was acting weird, as if something was wrong. When I got up to go to the bathroom that night, I passed by her door and heard some strange noises in her room."

After saying this, Garcia paused and swallowed. The tall man's eyes were slowly filled with fear.

"There were some faint and fuzzy voices coming from her room. It was not the sound of making a phone call. I was very aware of the electromagnetic noise that would be emitted when making a phone call, but it was different that day. .”

"At first it was just a vague chaotic voice saying something loudly, and then it was the rustling sounds of conversation. I don't know what kind of language it was. It was completely divorced from grammar and chaotic. A language that should not exist on earth.”

"Just listening to that sound made me sick, just like those people on the news who were exposed to radioactive elements. I felt like a smooth and cold hand was stirring inside and outside my body. .”

Garcia said this as if he remembered the sound he heard that night again, his face turned pale, and bloodshot eyes occupied his eyes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I wanted to ask her to open the door, but for some reason, my body couldn't move. It was like I was standing naked at the North Pole and frozen by the cold wind."

"Maybe those weird things noticed my presence. There was a sound of slugs being squeezed into a small place, and the door was opened."

"Ariana stood at the door, looked at me with a smile on her face, and asked me if anything was wrong. She obviously looked like my sister, but I still felt as if something was squirming under the skin."

"I gave a random excuse and went back to the room. I went to investigate in the next few days, but I didn't hear that sound after that, but-"

Garcia's suppressed fear and trembling finally broke out, and he said in a panicked tone: "Last night, after confirming that she went to that church again, I found some greasy mucus left by crawling reptiles in her room... …”

Jessica on the side felt a huge trembling feeling rush into her heart just listening to the description. She suppressed and whispered: "What should we do in this situation? Should we tell your parents?"

"How could they believe it? I just showed a little bit and they said I was crazy and didn't believe me at all."

"Then, what are you going to do?" Jessica approached her boyfriend.

"I'm going to check again tonight. This time I'm going to open the door directly. I want to see what the hell is. Jessica, I need you."

Garcia looked at his girlfriend beside him seriously and said in a cautious tone: "I need you to help me keep an eye on Ariana in her room. It shouldn't be directly exposed. I have installed several The mini camera is also set up with an automatic alarm. As long as I don’t cancel the alarm within an hour, it will call the police directly.”

"I will be at the door then. As soon as you call me, I will open the door instantly. I took out the Colt I collected in the bar. If there is any situation, we can face it. "

"This -" Jessica hesitated. After all, she was in direct contact with an unknown monster. Who knew what dangers there might be.

"Jessica, really, I and Ariana really need your help. We have to figure out what's going on."

Garcia stared at Jessica affectionately and sincerely, causing her face to gradually turn red. Finally, the girl's reply sounded like a mosquito buzzing.

The two of them just kissed each other in the restaurant like no one else was watching, causing 100,000 points of critical damage to the singles present.

Ariana's family of four lived in a three-story building in Queens, New York. Jessica, who had just gotten off Garcia's car, suddenly discovered a Ferrari sports car parked in front of the house.

"This is..." She had some guesses.

"Yes, this is Bruce's car. He just sent Ariana back from the Church of Fools in Brooklyn. My parents asked him to stay and have a meal together."

Garcia got out of the car and explained: "That guy has been accompanying Ariana to church these days. I know what that guy is thinking, but unfortunately -"

He didn't continue talking, but just took Jessica through the door.
