Curse Back: From Demonic Hollow to Heroic Spirit Summoning

Chapter 268

The sudden dense footsteps made Maki feel bad.

Sure enough, when she turned around, she saw more than a dozen enemies like before appearing from all directions.

Maki moved immediately before they formed a circle.

The old building in the center of the island was obviously wrong.

When exploring, it is best to explore carefully by sneaking in.

Therefore, Maki must get rid of these followers as soon as possible.

However, the mucus-covered ground greatly affected Maki’s speed.

On the contrary, the speed of the octopus people increased in this environment.

“Can I only deal with them first?”

Maki looked back at the octopus people who were chasing her.

The next second, the familiar dizziness appeared again.

“Will I be cursed just by looking at them?”

Thinking of the last time she felt dizzy, Maki had an inference about the curse of these octopus people.

Maki began to stop paying attention to what was behind her, and only relied on the sound to judge the position and movement of the octopus people.

However, the dizziness did not disappear.

Maki gritted her teeth and decided to knock down all the octopus men behind her before moving forward.

“Explode.”

A familiar voice came.

The gentle voice had a strong echo-like feeling.

The next moment, the dozen octopus men behind Maki all exploded.

“Well done, Gojuan.”

Maki smiled and looked up, looking in the direction of the voice.

There, a boy with snake eyes and snake teeth printed on his face was waving at her.

It is a very happy thing to meet companions in such a place.

“Dajie.” (Are you okay?)

Gojuan Ji asked concernedly.

“It’s okay. If I had a cursed tool in my hand, those guys would have been solved long ago.”

Maki waved her hand to indicate that Gojuan Ji didn’t need to worry.

But Gojuan Ji grabbed Maki’s hand.

“What’s wrong?”

Maki looked at Gojuan Ji strangely.

Followed Gojuan Ji’s gaze.

The back of her hand had turned pale, which was completely different from the original skin.

Maki pulled her sleeves up, and half of her arm had already turned sickly pale.

Gojumaki Ji grabbed Maki’s hand and ran towards the edge of the island.

The two soon pulled to a very weak man.

“Who is this guy?”

Maki felt that the man in front of her looked familiar.

“Are you the missing assistant supervisor, Inoue Hao?”

Maki remembered the identity of the man in front of her.

“Oh my God, finally there is someone I can communicate with normally. I feel like I’m going crazy without someone to talk to…”

It seemed like he had been holding it in for a long time. Although his voice was weak, Inoue Hao kept talking about the joy in his heart.

The white-haired boy who just found him kept talking about some strange food.

Not only did the two fail to communicate well, but they became hungrier and hungrier.

“Enough, let’s talk about these things after we leave here. Now you should explain what’s going on here.”

Maki interrupted Inoue Hao’s chattering impatiently.

“Sorry, I’ve been alone in this broken place for a whole day, and I’m really bored.”

Inoue Hao scratched his head embarrassedly.

“Um, let me ask you first, are you two sorcerers?”

Inoue Hao looked at Maki with hope.

“Yes.”

Maki nodded.

“That’s good.”

Inoue Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Since the other party was a sorcerer, there was a chance to take him away.

“Before explaining the situation here, let me ask you, have you heard of Cthulhu?”

Inoue Hao asked curiously.

“No.”

“Salmon roe?”

The two answered crisply.

“Is that so.”

Inoue Hao scratched his head.

As an adventure enthusiast who likes to pursue excitement, Inoue Hao likes mysterious and exciting works like Cthulhu.

“Then I’ll start with something a little more basic.”

Inoue Hao sorted out his thoughts and began to introduce Cthulhu.

“Cthulhu is the most well-known Old One in a new myth created by Lovecraft in the last century, which is also called Cthulhu Mythos.”

“According to the myth, Cthulhu has been sleeping in an underwater city in the South Pacific. Due to some external factors, it occasionally connects and contacts with unspecified humans through telepathy…”

It seems that he is really under too much pressure and needs to release it, or he wants to attract Maki’s attention by showing his knowledge after seeing the beautiful Maki.

Inoue Hao began to tell the contents of Cthulhu Mythos that he knew.

At the beginningMaki and Inumaki Saki were still listening attentively.

Later, they felt something was wrong.

Inoue Hao first briefly introduced the origin of Cthulhu, which was fine.

Then he talked about something similar to the image of the octopus man outside, with a large number of tentacles and eyes.

There was no problem with this either.

The content after that began to deviate from the current situation.

For example, the three pillars of Cthulhu.

Are these related to the current situation of the few people?

Could it be that the three pillars appeared here?

Then you can still live until now?

And why did you suddenly express with a sigh and thoughtful tone that the value of human beings is meaningless in the universe.

The exploration of mystery will eventually bring disaster.

“Speak to the point.”

Maki interrupted unhappily.

Inoue Hao also realized that he had caused Maki’s displeasure.

Then he immediately brought the topic back.

“I have said so much to introduce you to the image and characteristics of Cthulhu.

Because according to my inference, the cursed spirit here is likely to be a hypothetical cursed spirit derived from Cthulhu mythology.”

Inoue Hao said seriously.

“Tell me in detail.”

The impatient expression on Maki’s face disappeared, and she began to listen carefully.

“Normally, if we want to defeat the enemy, we must understand it, but Cthulhu mythology is different.”

Inoue Hao raised his head and looked directly at Maki.

“In Cthulhu mythology, the more you understand them, the deeper you are infected, and only destruction and madness are waiting for you ahead.”

After saying that, Inoue Hao pulled up his shirt.

What was exposed under the shirt was not a human body.

But octopus-like skin and eyes.

Seeing this scene, Maki subconsciously tensed her body.

Inujuan Ji’s hand was also on the zipper.

“Don’t be nervous, I’m fine.”

Seeing the vigilance of the two, Inoue Hao immediately raised his hands in surrender.

“I just want to tell you, don’t try to understand it, otherwise you will become like me and the people outside.”

Inoue Hao’s tone was a little lost.

This was not the first time he encountered a cursed spirit, as he loved adventure, but he didn’t expect to encounter such a being this time.

If he had known earlier, he shouldn’t have entered the village to look for cursed spirits for that little reward.

“Do you mean those octopus people are all human?”

Maki suddenly asked.

“They should be original humans.”
