Chapter 44: Gol-goroth the Toad The other four people sitting backstage were all shocked, but the one who was most surprised was Liu Yonglu himself. He always regarded the beach in his dreams at night as the backstage of his home. It was the spirit of his ancestors who appeared and felt that his work was not solid enough, so he let him slip away after he fell asleep. "It turns out there is something real here." Liu Yonglu muttered to himself as he looked at the black stone in his hand. This was definitely not a dream. The people in the background and the black stone in his hand clearly told him that this was reality, not a dream. If it was a month ago, when Liu Yonglu had just traveled through time, he might have been really scared by him. But after experiencing the giant crabs with bursting seeds, the extra-large American frogs, and the moving wax figures in Excel Town, his psychological endurance threshold, which was already high, was raised even higher. This really proves the old saying of Tianjin people: If you have never been beaten by a gangster, you don't know how powerful the gangster is. Regardless of whether it is a god or a clan, in the past few times, it was not him who was unlucky enough to be beaten. He just stood by and had fun, and naturally he lost the awe that ordinary people should have. "Oh, okay, it's still the same. I thought there would be more entertainment activities during the day..." Liu Yonglu put his hands behind his back, walked in a square step, and inspected his island again. He really treated it as his own backyard. As Liu Yonglu walked, he noticed that the other four people were staring at him with their big eyes.
Fonte's eyes were full of awe and fear, while Chapman and Dora's eyes revealed a natural confusion and fear of unknown things. "Brother, it would be better if you could use this method earlier. Look, Miss Dora is frightened." In the end, it was Marquette who came over, patted Liu Yonglu on the shoulder and smoothed things over. "Hi!" Liu Yonglu remained the same, smiling and waving his hands, looking like an unlucky person who had hidden his achievements and fame. "Where's Larder? Where did you take him?" Liu Yonglu himself also wanted to know the answer to Marquette's question. But his emotions were already so heated that he couldn't just say he didn't know. After all, the island was so small that it couldn't be lost. And it was most likely the black stone tablet in the center of the island. Liu Yonglu pointed the way like a fairy and motioned for others to follow him. Fonte walked at the end of the team, and as he walked he quickly recorded everything on the island with the pen and paper in his pocket. This is a dreamland, and all the information recorded here will be of great research value if brought back. Chapman and Dora walked in the center. They were both ordinary people. Although they heard Marquette say that Liu Yonglu was the actual controller of the dream, everything was still too unbelievable. They used their arms to drive away mosquitoes while observing their surroundings vigilantly. Soon, the two saw the frog-faced baby statue on the side of the road! The statue had a strange shape, and was filled with a bloody and ominous aura. It represented a deserted island, a bloody human sacrifice ceremony, and an unknown ancient god. Dora forced herself not to put these symbols together. Dora covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming, for she was afraid of angering Mr. Richie in front of her. At this moment, she felt that this man was as indescribable and terrifying as the masked monster in the mirror. Liu Yonglu and Marquette were at the front of the team. "Brother, there's no need. This isn't a case assigned by headquarters, and it's not even a private job. You don't need to use the Dream Realm." "Hey, I'm in a hurry too. (Coincidentally)" What Liu Yonglu said was the truth. He now has no idea how the deserted island in his dream came true. "Can you afford the price? If not, just take over Dreamland." Marquette advised.
"Price? What price?" "Why are you being so polite to me? Your dreamland was awakened by the ancient relic in your hand, and using ancient relics requires paying a corresponding price." "Oh……" But Liu Yonglu didn't know that he had already paid the price, and it was an overpayment. Anyone who comes into contact with the black stone will inevitably have a dream every day, and listening to the whispering of the stone tablet after entering the dream is the price of using it. However, this price is a false proposition, because as long as you hear the whispers, you will not be able to resist the temptation of the knowledge of the gods, which will arouse the vigilance of the frogs, and what happens next is that you will be assimilated and distorted by them. This is why Patrick would give such an important thing to old Jenny. After all, he himself could not afford the price. It would be better to let the deformed old Jenny cultivate the sacrifice needed by the cult, that is, to give birth to a frog-faced baby. Price? Liu Yonglu, who was confused, was also confused when he heard this word. He secretly began to touch every part of his body with his hands, for fear that he would lose a kidney in the next second. Chapman and Dora who were following behind him were also wondering why Mr. Richie suddenly twisted his body while walking... Oh! This must be a special rule on the island! If you don't dance along, you'll be cursed. The two of you look at each other and say, "Don't hesitate, let's dance along!" [After landing on the island, you must dance a strange sacrificial dance, otherwise you will anger the gods in the dreamland and bring down an unknown curse] This is the key information that Fonte wrote down in his little notebook. As a clergyman in the church, he knew its importance. Putting down the notebook, he stretched his muscles, waved his arms, twisted his waist, and started dancing. Of the five people, except Marquette who was at the front, the remaining four walked and danced all the way. After dancing for ten minutes, they finally arrived at the depression in the center of the island. "You four stand here first. I'll go over and take a look alone." Liu Yonglu is very familiar with this deserted island. He knows exactly what lies ahead. When these four people see the stone tablet, they will probably be like him at the beginning, unable to withstand the temptation of the stone tablet's whispers, and will only cause more trouble. Thinking of this, he went down the slope alone. The sacrificial site was still the same as before, with a stone sacrificial table and the towering black stone tablet in front. But the frogs were gone. Liu Yonglu sniffed and found the unique fishy smell of the frogs was still in the air, as if they had never gone far. Without Mei Wa, Liu Yonglu felt a little empty inside. After spending about a month with them, he had established a very deep relationship with these dozens of old audiences who came to his theater every night. At this time, Lalde was lying on the sacrificial stone table. The sacrificial table was usually used for frog-faced babies and was not very large. At this time, Lalde's thighs and arms were hanging outside. Looking at his face again, his eyes had turned into two eroded bloody holes, and his facial skin was still twitching and spasming unconsciously. Saliva mixed with blood oozing from the eye sockets dripped down the stone platform. Judging from Larder's condition, he seemed to be trapped in a horrible nightmare. His face became paler and paler, and his physical condition was very bad. It seemed that he was not going to survive. The dark red liquid dripped onto the ground and gathered into a thin line. Only then did Liu Yonglu notice that there was a shallow scratch on the soil under the stone platform. The blood flowed along the scratch and all the way to the foot of the stone tablet. After having dealt with the whispering stone tablet in his dreams for so long, this was also the first time that Liu Yonglu observed it at such a close distance. “Why aren’t you reciting the words anymore…” Liu Yonglu poked the stone tablet with his finger. But as his hand touched the black stone tablet, a blurry image suddenly appeared in his mind. A young man stood on a reef in the sea. The reef was not big and had a regular shape, with a rectangle on the top and a cross on the bottom.
How could he be so far away? Liu Yonglu looked down and saw that he was indeed floating in the air, still holding the black stone in his hand. Liu Yonglu wanted to get closer so that he could see the young man's face more clearly, but he didn't expect that as soon as this thought came to his mind, his body immediately appeared one meter in front of the young man. It was Larde. He was covered in wounds, but because he had been soaked in sea water for a long time, the skin around the wounds had turned white and swollen. Although he was blind, he still waved his arms and struggled to climb to the top of the reef, kicking downwards with his feet as he climbed, as if he was instinctively aware of the danger and was trying to drive away something. Liu Yonglu looked down and saw a beautiful frog. It turned out that all his good audiences were here. The top of the reef was also a dead end, and climbing up was only a temporary solution. Finally, at the highest point, several frog-faced monsters climbed up, grabbed Lalder's ankles with their webbed claws and dragged him down. Under the reef, white foam rolled, and the frog-faced monster disappeared into the sea with Lalder. Accompanied by a distorted murmur of "Gol-goroth", the whispers of the giant toad heard in the chapel appeared again. Liu Yonglu only felt that his body was rising slowly. Could this also be the result of his own thoughts? Then he realized that it was not his body that was rising, but the reef under his feet. The reefs rose faster and faster, and finally the deep blue sea in the field of vision turned into an endless dark blue carpet under his feet. It felt like a plane suddenly took off. Liu Yonglu even wondered if he had entered the stratosphere. Slowly, an orange-yellow halo lit up from behind him. Well, we must have reached the stratosphere and were basking in the sun. But when Liu Yonglu turned around, he found that it was not a sun, but two orange eyeballs full of malice! The eyeball was so big that Liu Yonglu, who was standing in front of it, couldn't even see its left and right edges. The reef where he was standing just now turned out to be the nose of a giant toad! "So big! The toad is bigger than the camel. The old man is not lying to me." Liu Yonglu had just let out a sigh when he was swallowed by the giant toad in the next second. It’s Monday. Everyone reads novels on the way to work or school and has a good laugh. It’s another happy week. Don't forget to help me read it tomorrow, thank you (End of this chapter)
