Yu Yueming was woken up from his sleep by a sound of reading aloud words.

"Ten years ago, the strange incident that happened in Dunwich Village was just a beginning and a sign..."

This old voice woke him up from his sleep, causing him to shake his ears irritably.

Who? Which guy is open to the dormitory and can’t let people sleep?!

No, he just finished the college entrance examination a few days ago and is now living at home. How could someone read English in his room?

The remaining sleepy feeling made his consciousness extremely blurred. He could only subconsciously try to open his eyes and stare in a daze in the direction where the sound came.

The dazzling lights mixed with the warm fire in the fireplace poured down, making him squint his eyes instantly.

Wait, fireplace?

After his vision became clearer, he finally saw the scene in front of him.

He was in a study room. An old man with white hair and beard sat at the desk, holding a piece of letter paper, chanting the contents on it.

"That disaster was not accidental. The birth of the descendants of the evil god was not a rare miracle or a rare misfortune. All of this was destined to happen sooner or later.

"We were lucky enough to peek into the corners of the storm and be afraid of the coming disaster. Fortunately, we can still make a difference and strive to change this seemingly doomed fate.

"Key. We need to find the key. That is the revelation from the dream, the last glimmer of hope that has fallen in the mercy of the old gods.

"You are faithful, Henry Armitage."

The old man finished reciting the contents of the letter in a smooth tone, folded the letter paper, put it in the envelope, and stamped it with a hot lacquer seal. Judging from this action, the writer of the letter should be himself.

Yu Yueming was as if immersed in a dream, maintaining a half-dream and half-awake state, not feeling that he needed to react, but just listened quietly to the old man's words, and even had the time to think about its absurd content.

Dunwich...ah, he mentioned this place name in the novel he had just read.

That novel is a very famous article in Cthulhu mythology - "The Horror Incident in Dunwich".

The content of the novel is very simple: the admirer of the evil god Jug Sotos gave birth to a pair of twins mixed with the blood of the evil god in some way. Among them, the elder brother barely looked like a human and was raised as a human; the younger brother looked like a complete monster and was hidden at home by the family.

When he grew up, his brother wanted to summon their father, Yug Sotos, through the records in the Book of the Dead, so he searched for the complete version of this taboo book.

He went to Miskatonik University, but it aroused the vigilance of the library director. The other party guessed his evil intentions and stopped him from acting.

After hitting a wall everywhere, the evil god's descendant tried to break into the library and steal books, but was eventually bitten to death by the library's janitor.

Afterwards, the monster brother who was locked in Dunwich's house was unattended, and he was eventually exiled by the library director and his companions using the spells in the Book of the Dead, and the incident came to an end.

The plot of the story is not complicated, and it may not be considered horrible to modern people. Instead, it contributes a joke of "the weak dog of the gods" to the fans of the CPC.

As the saying goes, there is something to think about the day and dream about the night. Now he dreams about the content of the novel?

Thinking of this, he also had some impression of the old man in front of him. Judging from the name, the other party should be the director of the library in the story, right?

But why did he dream of such an unpopular character? At least he dreamed of a dream, let him see a bubble... No, if you see Youge, at least you should see Mr. Ke. What's going on with this strange dream?

But dreaming is pretty good, he can understand English fluently. Although his English listening skills are not bad, it is still a lot of effort to understand such complex sentences.

While thinking, he looked around and soon saw his reflection on a metal vessel.

Impressed on the metal surface is a tall and vigorous gray wolf.

No, although it looks like a wolf, Yu Yueming himself inexplicably understood that this is actually a wolf dog that looks like a wolf.

Why is my identity in the dream not even human? This dream is even more strange...

Yu Yueming looked around again. The room was a little stuffy because the fireplace was lit. Judging from the somatosensory, it was not the season to burn the fire for heating at all.

He looked into the fireplace carefully and found that what was burning inside was not firewood, but many large books. These books were licked by the flames, gradually burning and cracking, turning into black and gray.

It’s so strange to burn books in the study. Is it because the students were tearing books to celebrate after the exam? That’s why he dreamed of burning books?

Just as his thoughts began to spread, the old man who had put the letter suddenly spoke.

"Grey. Come here."

He waved to Yu Yueming's direction.

Gray. The name is really too simple.

Yu Yueming thought this way and his body automatically took steps.

He stopped in front of the old man, who took something from the table and stretched out his hand to his neck.

Yu Yueming did not dodge, but just glanced at the object in the other person's hand when the old man reached over.

It was a brown collar. But the collar fell on an extremely common nameplate, but a strangely shaped silver metal pendant.

On the outside of the pendant is a ring, and the pattern inside the ring looks like the leaf veins of a leaf: a main vein extending from the lower left to the upper right, and then three branch lines are divided to the upper left and two branch lines are divided to the lower right. It is simple and simple, so simple that it looks like a random graffiti for children, rather than some mysterious mark.

Yu Yueming recognized this iconic pattern at a glance - the old seal, the old god's seal.

The moment the pendant touched him, it seemed as if a ball of lava fell into his chest.

The invisible hot flames burned his body, as if he was about to tear him apart the next moment. However, his brain was like falling from the ice cave, and instantly woke up from the illusion of the dream.

etc.

etc!

This is not a dream!

At this moment, thinking and mind finally returned to his mind completely. He suddenly shivered and exploded with hair all over his body as if he woke up from a nightmare.

This is not a dream!

Before he could organize further thoughts, the world before him suddenly turned into white light.

In an instant, the room with warm fire lights and the figure of the kind-faced old man disappeared from him.
Chapter completed!
