I'm in Cthulhu

Chapter 23: Anubis

In a dream of nothingness.

Endless strange black mist filled the entire space, strange images flickered in it, and a shrill scream that made people think could be vaguely heard from the depths of the darkness.

Compared with the previous times when it was completely dark and Luo Ji was the only light source, this time the dream of nothingness was specially arranged by him because of the special nature of the visitors.

A huge river lies under the black mist, with gray water flowing from the empty water source. Beside this river that exudes an evil and ominous atmosphere, there are countless disturbing things that extend to the border of darkness. tombstone.

A group of carrion-eating jackals wandered around the criss-crossed tombstones like ghosts. The unfortunate corpse was torn apart by the jackals' fangs and claws, turning into horrific bloody fragments.

These symbolic scenes seem to have existed in this space for a long time. They are hateful and harmonious, exuding a beautiful and evil artistic conception. If anyone with a sensitive mind comes here, they will be driven crazy by this weird scene.

Luo Ji was clad in pure black cloth, with a solemn expression on his face. The dark lines of mist on his body extended into the void, and he made a sound that was vague and non-existent, like the whisper of an ancient god.

His appearance at this time is simply the reverse version of the clothes he wore when he last met teenage Steve and high school student Peter Parker.

It was very average, but to the ancient god with the head of a jackal who came from thousands of years ago in front of Luo Ji, he was very intimidating.

The god of death, called "Anubis", whose main responsibility is to guide souls into the afterlife, is looking at everything around him. The color of his body symbolizes rebirth, and is the color of carrion and the black soil of the Nile Valley.

This time, the dream of nothingness was not only linked to an existence, but also a lucky person was also pulled in, the Peter Parker just mentioned.

Zeus, Anubis, Schmidt and Peter Parker, the people who have been linked several times are either lofty gods or special people with extraordinary potential.

Luo Ji's control over the void dream was temporarily limited, and he didn't know what the rules were for pulling people in, but he didn't really care. So far, this unknown rule was working very well.

"I'm not the first god to come here, am I?"

Anubis's wolf head did not open or close, but there was a sound.

Luo Ji nodded, indicating that what the God of Death said was correct.

Anubis followed up and said: "I felt a familiar and powerful aura. This residual aura reminded me of thunder in nature..."

"Familiar... This power comes from a god named Zeus. The most important powers he controls are the thunder and the sky. Do you know him?"

Luo Ji was extremely surprised by Anubis' answer. The ancient Egyptian god of death naturally belonged to Egyptian mythology, while Zeus belonged to Greek mythology. There should have been no overlap between the two.

The conversation suddenly became interesting and dangerous, and Luo Ji instantly recalled what Zeus had revealed about the "plague" when he was talking to him before.

His imagination began to fidget, and some uneasy associations emerged in his mind uncontrollably.

As for Luo Ji's question, Anubis didn't seem to want to answer. He didn't agree or deny it. He just nodded slightly, conveying a feeling to Luo Ji.

Gods often do not need to use words to convey what they want to express. Anubis used some unknown and clever method to tactfully tell Luo Ji that he did not want to talk more about this topic.

The God of Death was very respectful, because as soon as he came to this space, he found that with his own divine power, he was completely unable to resist or leave. He could only return to Duat when the owner of the space indicated that the dialogue was complete. Hades.

This scene reminded him of his own trial ceremony for the dead. The last god who came here was Zeus, and now he is himself. So who will be next?

After pondering for a while, Luo Ji continued: "Anubis, has an unknown plague ravaged your world? I need to know information about this matter. Tell me, maybe it will be good for you and me. .”

The God of Death noticed the subtle hint of threat in the tone of the person in front of him, so he responded: "Yes, the gods have forgotten when this plague broke out, they only know that it can not only cause human beings to die in pain" , it can also sweep up to the kingdom of the gods and infect the stars in the deep sky..."

In his words, Anubis hinted at the helpless fact that he was powerless, and revealed his ignorance of all the information about the plague. He had been hiding in his hometown in the underworld, hoping to escape this damn horrific plague, but recently he has not been able to The underworld is in danger.

Luo Ji and Anubis chatted about other things, and then he sent the god of death from ancient Egypt back to the Duat Underworld.

Things about the plague made him feel quite heavy, but after looking at Peter Parker who was protectively sealed in the thick black fog, Luo Ji regained his composure.

As the gray river, the endless tombstones, and the jackals wandering in it all disappeared, Peter, who was locked in the black mist, finally regained his freedom.

There is nothing wrong with children temporarily avoiding the conversation when adults are speaking.

"Hello, little spider, we meet again."

"Hello to you, I mean, God of Mist, why have you changed your appearance?"

Peter was very excited to see the powerful guy he saw in his dream a few weeks ago again, and he leaned on the black chair a little restlessly.

"Well... Peter, just call me Luo Ji. This outfit is to scare the God of Death who was next to you just now."

With that said, Luo Ji took off his middle-class-[-]-aura-like clothes and put on ordinary everyday clothes. He didn't want to pretend to be a superior and unknown god in front of Peter. He preferred to chat more relaxedly.

"Of course, although I prefer the title of God of Mist, Mr. Luo Ji seems to be good too."

"You are really receptive, but you do have this kind of personality... I know you are curious, so I won't hang on to you."

With that said, Luo Ji explained some of the information he needed to know to Peter, who had had spider powers for some time.

After some chatting, Luo Ji got back to the topic: "Peter, the Weeping Angel I mentioned to you last time hasn't arrived yet. It will take some time. Before that, I want you to do something for me. .”

"Just say it, I can definitely do it!"

"Well, tell your Uncle Stark that on the second Sunday of the month before the Civil War begins, blah blah blah..."

"To be honest, it's really weird to do this, even weirder than the sudden shouting that attracts everyone's attention at a party, but I will still help you, Mr. Luo Ji."

"Very well, my child, now, wake up..."
