I'm in Cthulhu

Chapter 17: Horror in the Orphanage (1)

Question: During World War II, what was the strength of Captain America at his peak?

The answer, like his influence, will be an exaggerated and accurate description. Under the stimulation of the Super Soldier Serum, Steve's physical potential was fully tapped, reaching the highest realm that human beings can reach.

With strength, senses, reflexes, and extremely powerful close combat skills, Steve often displays a terrible sense of oppression when facing hand-to-hand combat. Even robots are defeated by the captain's chokehold.

Coupled with that incredibly powerful spiritual power, Steve's ability to fight in the light is extremely terrifying, but this time, the enemy he faces is an unspeakable evil creature lurking in the unknown shadows.

Due to the increase in bones and muscle density, the second-generation Silence has a physical fighting ability slightly inferior to that of Captain America.

But the most bizarre and effective ability of these transformed, twisted monsters is the evil sound emitted by the friction of the tentacles in their mouths, which covers a wide range of music and is like strange whistles or flutes. The illusion created by this sound Capable of destroying the spirit of anyone who thinks they are mentally tough.

Of course, the second-generation Silence lurking in the orphanage had been instructed by Luo Ji, and Steve would still come out alive, with his mental state barely suppressed to the edge of collapse.

When the time comes, the captain, who has black lines on his face, is exhausted physically and mentally and is panting heavily, has just left this terrible orphanage. Reporter Zach Francisco, who was specially invited by Luo Ji to the scene, will capture this scene with a hand-held camera. A precious picture.

Captain America's reputation may have declined because of this incident, but reputation is not very important to Steve who will be busy fighting aliens in the future... At least that's what Luo Ji thinks. As for Steve himself idea...

It didn't matter anymore, the deal was done, things had to develop according to Luo Ji's plan.

The camera turned to Luo Ji.

He was having dinner with Wilder and Schmidt at a restaurant near the orphanage.

“Sliced ​​green beans, Atkins chips arranged from small to large, Scooby-Doo yogurt with the dangling eyes gouged out...that’s as far as a perfectionist can go. "

Luo Ji was eating a dinner that transcended the current era. Wilder and Schmidt didn't pay much attention to what they were going to eat tonight. Wilder, who was sitting next to Luo Ji, couldn't help but ask:

"Sir, don't we need to go there and take a look? I mean, after all, he is the famous Captain America, with extraordinary strength... Of course, the modified Silence will definitely be able to overwhelm this muscular man, but what if Steve My husband has run away."

It's normal for Wilder to have questions. This question is basically the topic of conversation every time he eats. Luo Ji explained:

"Don't worry, the curse I made on Steve cost me a lot of magic power, and the magic power is worth it. Do you understand what I mean? Steve will only think that fate is inspiring him, and he will take that poor man with him Together, the scholars fell deeper and deeper into that devil's cave..."

"But, what should we do if Steve has a mental breakdown? This seems to affect our follow-up plans... You should notice this." Schmidt elegantly used a knife and fork to eat the steak on the plate, While raising his doubts.

Luo Ji, who had just inserted all four tips of the fork into the beans, touched his chin, looked in the direction of the orphanage, and said, "The Silences are proficient in this. They will understand Steve's mental state, and on that string. When they were about to be torn apart, the Silences took back their hands..."

Meanwhile, while the instigators chatted, the two victims had now arrived at their destination, the eerie abandoned orphanage.

The heat of the past few days in midsummer has finally completely evaporated the damp and cold rain. The impetuousness and warmth of the evening made the world look like a huge steamer. Steve and Walter stood in front of this orphanage that constantly exuded an ominous atmosphere. In the dust settling in the dark golden sunset before my eyes, I felt the heaviness of being suffocated.

The building suddenly began to exude a strange sense of oppression, and Walter's previous nervousness began to turn into a tide of fear, making him want to scream for mercy, but it was still suppressed by his strong sense of shame. .

Steve just felt that his heart was quite heavy, and he was not as afraid as he was now. He patted Walter on the shoulder and walked towards the door of the orphanage the next moment.

Walter followed Steve's muscular back. He noticed the diamond-shaped glass of the building, which stared at intruders like eyes, and then looked at the dark green walls that were surrounded by mold and seemed to be about to collapse in the next moment. Rotten wooden piles sprouting mushrooms... All of these seemed to suddenly exude an unprecedented malice, making Walter feel that his spirit was being violently twisted and squeezed.

At this moment, Steve had already walked to the door of the orphanage. He easily opened the rusty and fragile ancient door lock, and walked into the building together with Walter, who was starting to tremble slightly.

"boom!"

Suddenly, when the two of them walked into the dim hall, the door behind them slammed shut like a scene from a horror movie, and the violent collision between the two doors sounded like a thunderbolt in the clear sky. In Walter's ears.

Steve stared at the door seriously, and relaxed slightly after hearing the howling of the wind outside the broken window of the orphanage.

However, Walter, who was mentally sensitive, almost screamed in shock, but separated a faint, strange and strange sound like music from the howling in the air. This sound vaguely made him feel disgusted, and in an instant he felt... Got a lot of bad associations.

Walter recalled that he once found a dilapidated book that was badly eaten by insects and ants in the university library. The specific age of the book could not be seen, and the cover had disappeared. All he knew was that it must be ancient. horrible.

Because the pages were filled with Latin words embellished with evil and ominous Uncial script.

Walter used to particularly enjoy reading those dilapidated books. The feeling made him feel like a great adventurer, going on the most mysterious and exciting adventures in inaccessible and lost areas.

That weird book was naturally deciphered by him, but the words on it made Walter feel baffled at the time:

"...Human beings should never set foot in some dead dark corners of the earth, and should not go deep into some unknown bottomless abyss; otherwise, the sleeping monsters will be reawakened, and the remaining evil nightmares will also be Squirming out from their dark lairs to embark on a new journey of madness..."

And now, when the loud noise the door made after closing exploded in Walter's mind like thunder, and looking at the weird and evil scene in front of him, he finally understood the meaning of that passage.
