I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

For her, ignorance is also a kind of happiness.

If Miss Valerie knew the positions of the stars, she would surely be experiencing a cognitive breakdown as she stares at this night sky.

Because Lu Ban had already discerned that these stars were different from those seen on Earth, and belonged to a different realm of the starry sky.

As for whether this place had been alienated and transferred to an unknown space by some indescribable great being, or whether the pollution of the starry sky was caused by the gaze of those evil gods, Lu Ban was not quite sure.

"Leave? But our movie isn't finished yet."

James countered, seemingly unwilling to leave. The young man picked up a piece of medium-rare roast meat and stuffed it into his mouth, the bloody juices dripping from the corner of his mouth, making him look rather gruesome.

"I don't care, I don't like it here, I want to go home, I want to go to the bus station, the train station."

Valerie stood up, looking very determined, and asked again.

"Scott, where is the bus stop in Miskatonic?"

Scott was taken aback; he genuinely didn't know this city had such a thing.

As far as I can remember, there is no railway or intercity bus service here; you can only travel to and from here by car.

When Valerie told her the truth, the blonde woman became somewhat hysterical.

"Damn it, this godforsaken place! I knew I shouldn't have come. I should be sunbathing on a Florida beach right now instead of wasting my life in this wet, godforsaken place!"

Valery suddenly became agitated, which puzzled Zhou Changqing, who was unaware of the specific situation.

Why did this group of college students suddenly start arguing?

"Stop talking and just finish filming. This is a big city, nothing will go wrong. Otherwise, we can go to the nearest police station and ask the police."

Talia calmed her classmate down, took a sip of beer, and seemed to be enjoying the moment.

"I'm going to find the police."

Valerie called out, ignoring her companion's calls, she simply picked up her phone, put on her coat, and walked deeper into the street.

James called out twice, but his girlfriend didn't turn around.

Seeing this, Zhou Changqing was completely bewildered.

"Isn't this just blatant suicide?"

He looked at Lu Ban and said in a low voice.

In horror stories, someone who leaves the group because of an argument or wants to go home early is almost guaranteed to be the first to die.

Zhou Changqing's task was to assist with the filming; if these people died, the project would not be completed.

"Take the camera and go record this."

Lu Ban, however, directly handed a camera to Zhou Changqing.

"Remember, don't stop the camera, no matter what happens."

"what?"

Zhou Changqing looked at the camera in his hand, puzzled.

However, since it was a task assigned to him by Lu Ban, he had no reason to refuse.

He grabbed a camera and followed Valerie.

"Madam, madam."

Zhou Changqing jogged and finally caught up with Valery. He greeted him and turned on the camera in his hand.

"It's dangerous for you to be alone so late at night. I'll go with you to the police station."

He found a perfectly legitimate reason.

Valerie looked the man up and down; he didn't seem like a bad person.

What are you filming?

However, the raised camera always made Valery feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"...This is the law enforcement record. If the police here have any problems, we can film their law enforcement process and then prosecute them!"

Zhou Changqing came up with a reason on the spot.

Valerie reluctantly agreed, and the two walked along the road. There was no one else on the road; it was deserted and quiet, with only the flickering lights of the surrounding houses illuminating the street.

Zhou Changqing saw that behind the windows in those houses, he could vaguely see figures standing by the windows, looking out at the street through the gaps in the curtains, staring at him and Valerie.

That look was wary, fearful, and disgusted.

Zhou Changqing didn't know if several burly men would suddenly emerge from the house next door and seize Valery as a sacrifice. He followed forward while filming Valery's figure.

Whether it was luck or misfortune, they soon found the Miskatok police station.

The police station was lit up and appeared to be functioning normally.

Valery walked through the door.

Zhou Changqing kept this in mind.

He noticed that the police badge hanging at the main entrance seemed a bit strange.

Upon closer inspection, the Massachusetts police emblem, which was originally bathed in sunlight and towering, now resembled a monster covered in tentacles. This monster was similar to the one Zhou Changqing had seen held in the arms of the Virgin Mary statue, but it was more abstract and possessed a certain eerie quality.

A bad feeling welled up inside him, and he tried to call out to Valerie, only to find that the other man had already gone into the building.

Zhou Changqing could only carry his portable camera and follow them inside.

Is anyone there?

The police station was brightly lit, but there was no one inside.

Valerie stood in the empty hall and called out twice, but received no response.

As Zhou Changqing filmed this scene, a sense of dread welled up within him.

He turned his camera to other parts of the police station: the reception desk, the guard post, the waiting benches, and the corridor walls covered with various promotional posters.

Suddenly, Zhou Changqing noticed through the camera that a woman was sitting at the front desk.

The woman was wearing a police uniform, her face was pale, and she seemed to be afraid of something.

He looked up and gazed in that direction.

But in Zhou Changqing's view, there was nothing there.

There was no one there, not a single person.

He quickly looked down to check the camera lens.

In the footage, the woman seemed to notice Zhou Changqing's camera lens. She looked over, then curled up in fear, her eyes fixed on Zhou Changqing.

Or rather, they were staring at what was behind Zhou Changqing.

Turning around abruptly, Zhou Changqing found nothing behind him but the police station gate.

"...Does that mean 'keep the camera rolling' means...?"

He felt a chill run down his spine, and his irrepressible curiosity prompted him to turn the camera around.

Turn to where the woman was staring in horror.

Chapter 781 The Starry Sky is the Abyss

Zhou Changqing first noticed a pair of hooves.

The hooves resembled those of a goat, but the legs were extremely thick. The camera panned upwards to reveal a body made of a mass of sludge, resembling a clump of slime. The body had a terrifying mouth with sharp teeth, and further up were numerous tentacles that looked like forked tree branches.

The creature was like a moving tree, trembling slightly. It seemed unaware that Zhou Changqing had photographed it, and simply stood there.

Zhou Changqing didn't know where its eyes were or whether it had noticed him. The moment he saw the creature, his brain felt like it was boiling, as if someone had poured boiling water over his head, making it impossible for him to think.

"what happened to you?"

Valerie glanced back and saw Zhou Changqing standing stiffly in place, then poked him with her finger.

It was only then that Zhou Changqing came to his senses. He suppressed his discomfort and nausea and pressed down on Valery's shoulder.

"We must get out of here as soon as possible; there's a problem here."

As he spoke, he scanned the doorway with the camera.

What he saw next made him feel a pang of regret.

Because outside the police station, there are these monsters everywhere.

They swarmed around like ants that had smelled ice cream that had fallen to the ground, piling up outside the police station, with several already going inside.

bang-

The glass door made a loud bang and then shattered. The camera footage showed a monster crashing into the door. Its body was cut by the glass and covered in wounds, but there was no blood, which made it look even more terrifying.

"what happened?"

Valerie didn't see any creatures; she stared blankly at the broken door, utterly bewildered.

"Come with me."

Zhou Changqing used the camera to check inside the house and found that there were no monsters in the corridor. Realizing that the police station should have more than one exit, he pulled Valerie towards the interior of the police station.

Upon reaching the corridor, Zhou Changqing turned back to take a picture of the situation in the lobby. He saw the monster, which resembled a black tree, grab the policewoman hiding at the front desk. Its tentacles pierced her body and tore her apart in an instant. The unseen flesh and blood splattered onto the walls and the ground, visible only to the camera.

Zhou Changqing finally understood what Lu Ban meant by "don't stop the camera."

These monsters can only be captured on camera.

Zhou Changqing realized that such monsters might have been commonplace on the streets before, but they were completely unaware of it.

The people in this city knew about this, which is why they stayed indoors after nightfall.

He filmed the scene ahead with his camera, but the brightly lit corridor now appeared eerie, because Zhou Changqing saw that the walls were covered with bloody handprints, which showed the torture and pain suffered by these victims.

The bright corridor appears bloody and gloomy under the camera's lens.

Valerie didn't know what was happening; she only felt a sense of oppression, which also permeated Zhou Changqing, causing her to shut her mouth and say nothing more.

Zhou Changqing glanced around and saw that none of the rooms were closed. He quickly found an office that looked like it had been through a battle; cabinets and desks were overturned, and documents were scattered all over the floor.

However, Zhou Changqing's goal was not to investigate what had happened here, but the gun on the ground.
