Throwing a steel coil at supersonic speed with one hand, you let me travel through the heavens!

Thinking of that rather dark memory, the girl shook her head, unwilling to recall it at all.

But she continued, "In the end, a small number of people believed it. They didn't look up at the sky; they relied on medication and visualization techniques to withstand the first wave of pollution."

"Because the end times really came, and my prophecy came true again, my reputation and prestige reached a peak, and more and more people followed me and believed in me, which gradually developed into what it is now."

"That suits your personality," Wei Qingzhou said.

If he is a lone wolf, a lone wolf, then Yang Xi is a leader, a bright moon, skilled in social interaction, and the center of attention.

Yang Xi said, "Actually, I don't want to turn the group into a religion, but in this kind of apocalypse, the real enemy is not evil things, not the lack of resources, but the spiritual pollution from evil gods. Faith is the weapon to fight against spiritual pollution."

Wei Qingzhou agreed, saying, "Even the most ordinary zombie apocalypse can easily lead to the formation of a religion, let alone a Cthulhu apocalypse."

Why is it called the "Steel Scroll Cult"?

Yang Xi, who had been discussing a serious topic and had a somewhat solemn expression, suddenly stuck out her tongue playfully: "Just something I thought of."

"The reason you rejected my confession back then was related to steel coils, wasn't it? So, I named it the Steel Coil Cult."

"..."

"Then why do you regard me as the leader?" Wei Qingzhou asked again.

Please!

The girl tilted her head, patted the boy's shoulders with both hands, and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Because you made all these prophecies. I'm just the leader's mouthpiece~"

She pointed to her nose with one finger and gestured towards Wei Qingzhou with the other.

"So, you are the leader, and I am your saintess."

"Alright, that makes sense, but then again..." Wei Qingzhou changed the subject, returning to the main point, "What you're doing is also very dangerous!"

"When these people are mentally stable, they are believers; but once their sanity plummets and their spirits plunge into the abyss, they become malevolent spirits capable of transforming at any moment!"

"Moreover, even without aberrations, if the sanity value is low to a certain extent, the behavior pattern is similar to that of a mentally ill person. Associating with them is like walking a tightrope over a cliff."

Indeed, there is strength in numbers.

But the Cthulhu Apocalypse is not like the zombie apocalypse; mental pollution makes everyone a ticking time bomb.

In fact, Wei Qingzhou's original intention was for Yang Xi to build a safe house, stock up on supplies, take good care of herself, and live a quiet life until the end of time, until he found her.

result……

Wei Qingzhou still didn't understand Yang Xi's personality, and he never imagined that Yang Xi would create some kind of Steel Scroll Sect. She became the Holy Maiden, and he became a cheap sect leader.

"Don't panic, kid!"

Yang Xi blinked at him, reached into the pocket of her horse-face skirt, pulled out a black pistol, slammed it on the dressing table, and uttered four words domineeringly: "I have the truth."

Then she put the gun away, her tone returning to seriousness: "Actually, faith is more effective than you think in suppressing spiritual pollution!"

"With the help of medication for treating mental illness, most believers are very stable and do not need 'truth' to appear."

"What about the smaller portion?" Wei Qingzhou asked.

Yang Xi did not answer immediately.

She turned around, walked to the window, pinched the edge of the curtain with her fingers, and then pulled it open.

There was no dusk, no sunlight; the giant eyes of the celestial abyss were closing one by one, and darkness was swallowing the entire world.

"iceberg."

With her back to Wei Qingzhou, Yang Xi's voice suddenly drifted away, "I thought waiting for you for a month would be a simple thing, that I could just endure it and the time would pass."

"And then I realized I was wrong, terribly wrong. That past month felt like an eternity!"

Her fingers were still gripping the curtains, her knuckles turning white from the force.

"I will fight against spiritual pollution, visualize the things of faith, and fight against evil in the dead of night."

"I want to calm the hearts of everyone. Even though I'm already exhausted, I still have to put on makeup, force myself to cheer up, and pretend that nothing's wrong, so I can encourage them and accept their negative energy."

"I will also deliver my verdict on those believers who show signs of distortion, before they turn into evil spirits, while they still retain the last shred of their sanity..."

The girl's hand slipped off the curtain, her slender fingers trembling.

"I'm like a tyrant, my hands stained with blood!"

She turned around, looked at Wei Qingzhou, and said wearily, "Iceberg, I'm so tired, so very tired."

"Sometimes, I even think that dying wouldn't be so bad..."

Wei Qingzhou replied firmly, "A low sanity level makes it easy to have suicidal thoughts."

"Don't overthink it, everything will be alright! There's always dawn after night, and hope after despair!"

"Really?"

The girl lacked confidence, muttering to herself, or perhaps asking the boy, "What if it's eternal night? What if the abyss of despair has no end?"

"meeting."

The boy's answer remained firm, his tone unwavering despite the girl's negativity.

"call……"

Yang Xi took a deep breath, then exhaled a long breath, composed herself, and smiled, "I really envy you, you can always be so strong."

"When we were in school, others thought you were aloof and like an iceberg, but when I looked at you, I always felt that you were like a lone wolf who didn't fit in with the crowd, a knight-errant who wasn't bound by the world, who liked to walk alone in the alpine meadows, drift in the river gorges in a small boat, see the ice of the snow-capped mountains, see the clouds of Baidi City, and see the scenery that the world can't see."

Wei Qingzhou's lips twitched slightly, and he bluntly interjected, "Yang Xi, you're looking at me through a filter. I'm not as carefree or strong as you imagine."

"What a blockhead..."

She thought to herself, then pursed her lips and continued nonchalantly, "It's good that you kept your promise and came back."

"I have a feeling that the Steel Scroll Cult has been making undercurrents lately."

"The people's faith in me is based on my previous prophetic abilities, but since July 20th, I have not been able to perform any miracles. Therefore, some believers who are not steadfast in their faith have begun to harbor their own ulterior motives and are eager to cause trouble."

In the end times of Cthulhu, the most terrifying thing is not evil, but the human heart.

Humans with unstable mental states are sometimes more terrifying than demons.

Wei Qingzhou asked, "Were you bullied?"

Yang Xi shook her head: "No one dares to bully me yet. It's just that recently some people have been arguing with me and going against me, so I've been a little upset. It's nothing."

"Nothing is something."

Ah, women, they just love to say one thing and mean another.

Wei Qingzhou said firmly, "You are my Holy Maiden, the Holy Maiden of the Steel Scroll Sect. How can you be humiliated? Now that I'm back, I'll help you get revenge."

"Gather all the followers!"

Yang Xi's eyes gleamed with curiosity as she looked at Wei Qingzhou, asking expectantly, "How are you going to help me get revenge?"

Wei Qingzhou was walking towards the door when he turned back and smiled, "You'll find out soon enough."
