Starting with Blood Healing to become an Ancient God

"Ah! My eyes, after all these years, I have finally seen you again."

As he spoke, a little blood began to flow from the gap between Dr. Laban's eye socket and the polyp, seemingly representing his tears.

"Where have you been hiding all these years?"

Danny said calmly, "It's under your bed."

Dr. Laban paused for a moment upon hearing this, then suddenly let out a mournful cry that sounded like a wail, as if he had encountered some immense sorrow.

Charles knew his time was running out, and asked directly, "What exactly did you see? And what is your relationship with the Yellow King Brotherhood?"

Danny had previously conducted a very detailed investigation of Dr. Laban's residence, and subsequently found a container containing an eyeball under the bed, as well as a diary in a secret compartment in the study.

However, what's strange is that the entire contents of the diary have been compiled with special code, making them completely incomprehensible to Danny.

Fortunately, Charles just arrived. He learned a lot from the Eye of Insight, including how to decipher these encrypted messages.

He quickly deciphered the contents of the diary and discovered that it was an experimental report.

Based on the date in the diary and the record of 1891 in the bi-monthly calendar, it can be determined that this was an experiment conducted nineteen years ago.

As can be seen from the content, Dr. Laban, who was still young at the time, was already very learned. After obtaining a double degree in language and history from the University of Saint Marne, he entered the Redemption Society, a subordinate organization of the Redemption Society of the Father God, through the club of the Redemption Society of the Father God.

During a chance study session, he discovered a deity so great that he became obsessed with him. This deity had different names throughout history, but the most revered name was the sacred one: the King in Yellow.

In the years that followed, Dr. Laban continued his quest for an audience with the King in Yellow.

After that, he succeeded.

After his success, Dr. Laban gained special vision, learned how to create a special potion that allows people to reveal the truth through their dreams, and also gained the protection of a special monster.

But as a price, he lost his eyesight.

The entries in the diary describing the successful summoning were completely erased.

However, the well-informed Charles had a vague idea that he had lost his eyes because he had met with the King in Yellow.

The two men then discovered a large number of books related to the King in Yellow.

However, judging from the arrangement, the most important book is missing.

That was a script, a script called The King in Yellow.

They quickly followed the markings left by Vic and arrived here.

After the piercing wail, Dr. Laban fell silent for a few seconds.

Then he said in a low voice, "It is a transcendent existence, a great existence. With the insignificant body of humankind, we are not even qualified to meet such a great being."

"Heh, I never thought that everything I had forgotten would be remembered on my deathbed."

Then Dr. Laban raised his head slightly: "In order to forget His horror, I gouged out my own eyes and sealed all my memories of it inside them. I thought that this way I could live a peaceful life forever."

"Hahahaha!" Dr. Laban suddenly let out a strange laugh.

"To them, we humans are nothing but a bunch of insects; they don't care whether we live or die!"

Danny immediately asked, "Where did you send the script for The King in Yellow?!"

Dr. Laban said in a strange tone, "Naturally, it has been sent to a place where it can exert its power."

"Arkham Opera!" Danny suddenly realized.

Charles pressed on, "Who have you been in contact with these past two days? Have you had any contact with the Yellow King Brotherhood?!"

Dr. Laban said in a low voice, "When the wind comes, the sand comes too. A great being has risen from the lake, whose vision has traversed countless spaces and is looking down on us ants."

"Mayor Arkham is right, gods only bring fear and destruction to mankind."

“Answer my question!” Charles asked in a low voice.

Dr. Laban seemed not to hear: "Please tell Mayor Arkham that he must not answer the call of the stars."

After saying this, Dr. Laban's head immediately detached from his spine, rolled twice on the blood-soaked ground like a ball, and died completely.

"You can't die yet!" Danny shouted.

Charles no longer paid attention to the deceased Dr. Laban, but instead focused his gaze on those eyes.

At this moment, those eyes seemed to be fixed on a certain direction.

Charles then turned the direction and found that the eyes inside also turned, always staying in one direction, southwest.

Danny whispered, "We must inform Ms. Lilith and Barlow about what's happening here as soon as possible."

Charles nodded and said in a low voice, "Perhaps these eyes can help us find what we are looking for."

Danny was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, then exclaimed happily, "Let's go!"

Immediately, the two of them rushed out like the wind.

Only Vic, Sander, and two others remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.

"Can we clean this up now?" Sander looked at the mess in the wax museum and felt his heart bleeding.

Vic snapped out of his daze and asked, "Do you have insurance?"

"This kind of damage is covered by insurance?" Sander was taken aback.

Vic then expertly pulled out a notebook and said, "This is a home insurance policy recently launched by our bank president, Lewis. Take a look; it's very affordable."

Chapter 0256 A Bizarre Story

"What on earth happened here?" In the small attic of the Arkham Theatre, Minnie, Ballow, Hardy, and the others who were temporarily trapped here looked at Eve, who was pale and trembling.

As a former second-tier actress, Miss Eve, who was hailed as the jewel of Arkham a few days ago, has lost her former stubbornness and composure, and now looks like a frightened child.

Looking at the people in front of her, Eve knew all three of them except for Hardy, and they were all on good terms with each other, which made her nervous heart relax a bit.

"The script...that script hides monsters and ghosts." It seemed to be a very terrifying thing, and Eve was filled with fear when she recalled it.

Mark walked up to Miss Eve and casually handed her a chubby orange cat, placing it on her lap.

Eve instinctively placed her hands on the fat orange cat's soft, fluffy fur and gently stroked it.

Time passed little by little while petting the cat.

About two minutes later, Eve calmed down completely after hearing the fat orange cat make a comfortable purring sound.

She took a deep breath and said, "It's all part of that script, the script called The King in Yellow."

Upon hearing this, Barlow and Mark exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts.

"Who gave you the script?" Barlow pressed.

Eve whispered, "It was Dr. Laban. About four nights ago, Dr. Laban came here to listen to the opera with a man in a yellow robe. After the opera, the two of them went backstage and said they had a wonderful libretto that they could give to us for free."

"At the time, we had just received a notice from the city government that we would be performing for the mayor and Her Majesty the Queen. We were nervous and apprehensive, so we took a look at the script with a 'let's give it a try' attitude."

At this point, Eve hugged her knees, clutching her sleeves, her eyes flashing with unease.

Minnie raised her hand, and blazing flames rose from it, making her appear like a goddess who wielded fire.

"Don't worry, with us here, those monsters won't be able to hurt you."

The flames seemed to be the primordial fire that completely dispelled the darkness and cold. Faced with such flames, Eve was not surprised, but instead regained her composure.

"We were captivated by the epic story and plot after reading the script, so we were very happy to agree and began intensive rehearsals."

"There are five main characters in the play: the male lead is a prince, the female lead is a religious priestess, and the rest include a powerful nobleman who plots to usurp the throne, a great desert emperor, and a messenger of the gods."

“At the beginning, our performance went smoothly. All the actors were very professional and quickly immersed themselves in the script.”

"According to the script, as the youngest son of the desert emperor, after his parents and brothers were killed by a powerful nobleman who usurped the throne, he escaped with the help of a priestess and then began to seek a way to restore his kingdom."

"When the story reached the point where the two encountered the messenger of the gods, the male and female protagonists had already noticed something strange. They seemed to be possessed by something, and that deep and eerie feeling gave me goosebumps."

"At the time, I thought they were completely immersed in their roles and didn't think much of it. I was so stupid. What kind of actors can get so into character? I should have stopped them."

At this point, Eve burst into tears, filled with self-reproach.

Meow!

The chubby orange cat lying next to her let out a meow, which seemed to have a special magic that quickly calmed Eve down.

Barlow and Minnie looked on in surprise.

Mark smiled slightly: "The goddess's grace will soothe every kind soul. Ms. Eve often helps stray cats."

Eve, regaining her composure, wiped away her tears and said, "I'm sorry, I really lost my composure."

Minnie said, "It's alright, please continue."

Eve nodded: "Afterwards, the male protagonist Renault and the female protagonist Gloria underwent even more severe changes, and they would sometimes even forget about us. But due to the time constraints, we didn't pay too much attention."

"Until today, when we performed again, the sincerity of the male and female protagonists moved the messenger of the gods, and the messenger of the gods helped them to resurrect the great emperor who had been assassinated, the Desert Emperor."

"As the Desert Emperor appeared, sand and stones flew up on the stage in an instant. A terrifying sandstorm enveloped the entire theater, and I saw countless howling and ferocious ghosts in it."

"I was utterly terrified. Under my watchful eyes, the Desert Emperor infected all the actors on stage and the staff in the audience, turning them into his ministers and generals."

"And because of this book, I stumbled and hid here."

After she finished speaking, Eve took out a very old-looking book from her bosom.

The words "King in Yellow" are prominently displayed on the cover.

“This is the book!” Barlow said immediately.

Just then, a series of ear-piercing impacts came from outside the room.

The terrifying power seemed poised to destroy the entire room at any moment.

"Prepare for battle! We absolutely cannot let them get their hands on this book!" Barlow shouted.

boom!

At that moment, the door was smashed open by a tremendous force, and a valiant general dressed in golden armor and wielding a long spear led his soldiers in.

This valiant general possessed strength at approximately level twenty-eight. Although his level was lower than the others, he exuded a unique aura that gave people a very dangerous feeling.

"Heretics! Hand over the Book of Creation!" the young general shouted.

Seeing the grief on her face, Eve cried out in a broken voice, "Reno! Wake up! You are not the Prince of the Sands! You are Reno! An actor at the Arkham Theatre!"

“You remnants of the Oasis Prince, it is already merciful of His Majesty not to kill you, yet you still dare to bark like dogs.”

As the general spoke, he instantly threw his spear.
