I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

The familiar sound of the impact immediately caught the attention of the two men.

Xi Ya and Lu Ban exchanged a glance, then got up and carefully walked into the corridor.

The door next door was open.

However, the inside was not as ordinary as Xia had previously examined; instead, there were some rather horrifying scenes.

On the bed, there was a skeleton whose body had been mostly gnawed away, and there were some scattered bones on the floor. In front of the desk, a person lay on the floor, covered in blood.

That's Draco.

Chapter 926 Time-Space Turbulence

Lu Ban went to Twisted Fate's side first, and he reached out to check Twisted Fate's breath.

Thankfully, he is still breathing.

It's just that it's rather weak.

He examined Twisted Fate's body and found no obvious external injuries, but some abrasions on his joints, clearly indicating that Twisted Fate had fallen in that spot.

As for whether it was due to his own carelessness or a fight, that's a question for Drizzt to answer.

Based on this, the blood on his body likely did not originate from him.

"This blood isn't his."

Lu Ban said, turning to look at Xi Ya.

"There was definitely no one in this room just now."

Xia looked around. The room seemed like an ordinary room, but upon closer inspection, she found scratches on the edges of the table, the chairs, and the legs of the bed, as if a considerable struggle had taken place in the room.

"You just said you didn't hear my voice. There's something wrong here. Could it be that we entered different dimensions and only just now met?"

Lu Ban deduced.

"That's an exaggeration. It's more accurate to say that I was too nervous to hear you enter the hotel."

Xia still doesn't quite agree with this kind of metaphysical stuff. In her opinion, many things that seem strange can actually be explained by science.

As a college student, it is truly inappropriate to not first consider the underlying reasons for things, but instead rely on subjective assumptions to speculate on their causes and pursue illusory fantasies.

“But Old Cui is indeed lying here.”

Lu Ban gently shook Trist, trying to wake him up.

Drizzt's expression turned serious, as if he had just had a nightmare.

Helpless, Lu Ban could only search Trist's body for any other marks.

Soon, he found three photos in Twisted Fate's pocket.

"Look, there are photos here."

Lu Ban and Xi Ya confirmed the three photos.

"This should be a photo of the hotel owner, but what's with this last one? The two people in the photo look like they're already dead."

Xia asked in confusion. She and Lu Ban had passed by this place on their way back from dinner. Although she hadn't looked closely, she had confirmed that the innkeepers were two middle-aged men.

At least not children.

"Is it possible that we entered a time turbulence in the fog, and that we experienced different times?"

Swallowing the Stars: Sign-in to Become a God

Lu Ban guessed.

Xia didn't comment on Lu Ban's whimsical ideas, but seeing the state of the room and looking at the photos, she had a strange feeling.

At that moment, Twisted Fate's body twitched. Lu Ban hurriedly came to Twisted Fate's side and saw that Twisted Fate's eyelids twitched and then he quickly opened his eyes.

"You're awake? The surgery was a success, you're a girl now."

Lu Ban blurted out.

"?"

Trist was taken aback and quickly touched it.

"What did you say?"

He retorted instinctively.

"It seems to be quite normal."

Lu Ban concluded that at least Trist hadn't lost his memory or been possessed by something strange.

"I just..."

Drizzt's eyes were momentarily blank, then he seemed to remember something.

"I went into the hotel, and then..."

"And then what happened, Uncle Cui?"

Xia asked hurriedly.

"...Then I heard a sound coming from inside the house, so I went in, and then it felt like I was attacked by something, and I lost consciousness."

Trist glanced at Lu Ban and said slowly.

"Is there anything else besides that?"

Lu Ban asked.

"I don't know. When I entered the hotel, there was no one there. I only found a few photos..."

Drizzt's tone became clear and certain. He touched his pocket but felt nothing.

"You mean these photos?"

Shea handed the three photos to Trist.

“Yes, I remember the hotel owner is the person in the photo, but they are already dead in the photo.”

Drizzt glanced at the photo again and said.

What happened to the blood on you?

Lu Ban asked again.

Drizzt then looked down at the congealed blood on his body, looking somewhat confused.

"I don't know..."

"So, when you and Uncle Cui entered the hotel, one of you found the guest list and the other found the old photos, but neither of you found the other, and I found nothing..."

Sia pondered.

“I think this fog, and even this island, has been caught in a spacetime turbulence. We can easily enter different time periods. When there was no fog, the innkeeper’s family was alive and well, but in the fog they seemed to have met with misfortune. Is it possible that they were indeed murdered, and what we saw during the day was their past?”

Lu Ban shared his guess.

"Are you serious?"

Xia looked at Lu Ban, her eyes filled with disbelief.

This feeling is like a student who is late for class and tells the head of the disciplinary office waiting at the school gate that he just encountered aliens who turned into cats and invaded Earth, and after a long and bizarre journey, he saved Earth and finally returned to school.

It's outrageous that he opened the door for his outrageous mother.

"Indeed, that possibility cannot be ruled out."

Surprisingly, Trist agreed with what Lu Ban said.

"Ok?"

Shea looked at Tristana, and for a moment, she had the illusion that Tristana might have been possessed by some unknown entity.

"This fog is beyond common sense. What we just saw in the bar is definitely not something that normal humans could see. I think we should really consider the possibility that there may be supernatural phenomena on this island that cannot be explained by common sense."

Trist noticed Sia's gaze and offered an explanation.

Instead of simply denying the status quo, try to accept it; that might be the only way to find the truth.

"Okay, but if this place really becomes some kind of spacetime turbulence, what's the point?"

Xia's mind works quickly. Since she can't deny Lu Ban's idea directly, she might as well go along with it and think about the current situation from this point of view.

After all, Lu Ban is able to remember everything and process it in his mind. Perhaps some things that Xi Ya didn't even notice have already formed clues under Lu Ban's super memory.

"What is the significance of this island, and why are we being taken into the past or future?"

There must be a reason behind every phenomenon. Xia believes that finding the root cause is the most important thing to solve the current situation.

"Perhaps this is not the destination, but some unexpected event along the way."

Lu Ban said.

"By connecting the jade pendant, the passenger list I obtained, the photos in Old Cui's hands, the case from ten years ago, and the behavior of Zou Changyu and his wife, I think that perhaps someone wants to perform some strange ritual on this island to summon the evil god represented by the jade pendant, and this mist is just a gift of the ritual."

"Summoning... an evil god?"

Xia really didn't understand.

Chapter 927 Micro and Macro

In any case, the idea of ​​summoning an evil god is far beyond common sense.

Xia looked at Lu Ban in confusion.

"Is this something you learned in the 'real world'?"

"Yes."

Lu Ban said matter-of-factly, and before Xi Ya could speak, he continued.

"The existence of evil gods can almost be said to be the cornerstone of the universe. They exist forever and cannot be destroyed. At most, they can only be sealed. Even when sealed, these evil gods still influence the outside world. As long as their names are mentioned, one will be corrupted. Most evil gods tend to break free. After being influenced by them, humans are prone to going mad and will acquire knowledge that does not belong to this world, attempting to summon these evil gods."

"..."

Xia glanced at Trist, only to find that Trist had fallen into deep thought after hearing Lu Ban's words, as if what Lu Ban said was really true.
