I Forged the Myth of the Ancient Overlords
Chapter 148 - 148 147.Cry_1

Chapter 148: 147.Cry_1 Chapter 148: 147.Cry_1 Nanhua Private Renji Hospital, fifth floor.

In a room at the end of the corridor.

The words that drove one to madness, gnawing away at sanity, echoed around Lu Ban, while Du Danping’s melody was nearly gone.

In his palm appeared that silver pistol, and Testament’s last magazine rotated, collecting Du Danping’s melody.

In his view, the indifferent gray text of the System surfaced, reminding Lu Ban.

[Mission Requirement: Find Du Danping’s Melody Fragment 0/1]

[Mission Requirement: Enter Nanhua Private Renji Hospital and survive until dawn]

[Remaining Time: 06:51:12]

“Not this?”

Lu Ban felt puzzled, this melody that suppressed the monsters should be Du Danping’s doing, but it wasn’t the Melody Shard left by him; then, where was Du Danping’s Melody Shard?

However, time was no longer on Lu Ban’s side to continue searching.

He could sense, even the air now belonged to that twisted monster.

In Lu Ban’s consciousness, at this moment, countless people’s murmurings repeated.

The consciousness of those dead, missing, captured by the monster, absorbed by It, now all shrieking out loud.

These voices formed a Cry, like a baby announcing its arrival into this world.

All this planning and scheming spanned more than twenty years, all for this moment of arrival.

This is the birth hour, the promise of hope and blessings.

“I’m so scared, I’m so scared, is there no one to save me.”

The timid nurse at the desk narrated pleas for help with her own blood, stroke by stroke.

“Living pillars, living pillars, I’ve tried my best, I’ve done all I could!”

The regretful builder stood by the wall, murmuring to his entombed compatriots.

“The mystery of life and death, I’ve finally grasped it! I’ve succeeded, I’ve done it!”

The delirious doctor on the operating table infused the dying with that polluted liquid.

Those voices filled Lu Ban’s ears, drilling into his brain, and covering his ears was futile.

Lu Ban wasn’t just listening to these murmurings; they were chasing after Lu Ban!

He immediately switched the pistol’s Speech Bullet, loading the bullet etched with the grand entity’s murmurings, and fired.

Five shots in quick succession, Lu Ban didn’t hesitate, he didn’t show any mercy.

The movements of those made of cement halted.

The eyes and mouths that opened on the gray viscous flesh suddenly strained widely, some even bursting their bodies apart.

The next instant, the entire building shook violently.

This earthquake could be felt in the real world; all of Jiangcheng awakened from the night’s silence, with the lights spreading from the hospital as the center.

“That’s not right.”

Lu Ban saw that the cement didn’t collapse because of the murmurings; on the contrary, they were writhing, secreting, proliferating more fiercely, soon to fill the whole space.

“Does this murmuring make It go even crazier? Even though what is welcoming It is death?”

Given the speed at which the monster was proliferating, there was no doubt that It might collapse from exhaustion before Its birth was complete, causing at most the devastation of a city.

After lying dormant for over twenty years, It had no need to do this.

But perhaps under the influence of the murmurings of that great entity that Lu Ban infused, the monster had completely lost its sanity, even its instinct was disrupted, and It could only continue to expand Its presence until filling the entire space, plunging the whole world into the abyss.

This was the worst choice of self-destruction, a world-destroying decision.

“Glazed Fire”? Or switch directly to Halloween’s pumpkin, or some other weapon of mass destruction?”

Lu Ban thought rapidly in his mind.

Glazed Fire, a fire that cannot be extinguished, was definitely not an option; by the time It was burned away, Jiangcheng would likely have already been engulfed in a sea of fire.

“Halloween” Such products, which cause spiritual pollution, are estimated to be similar to the nonsensical mutterings of a great being, and will only make this monster go even more berserk.

And something like “Magnificent Sky Thunder,” which requires learning, is of no use at the moment.

He didn’t have time to carefully browse the store for products; he decided to leave the room first.

If all else fails, he would have to resort to the dice.

He saw the door wrapped in concrete, picked up a crowbar, and charged outside.

At the same time, Lu Ban’s other hand picked up his suona.

He played a tune on the suona.

Since the other side had already fallen into madness, he might as well provide an accompaniment to its frenzy, to make the madness even more violent!

The nonsensical mutterings of the great being at the Jiangcheng Grand Theater and the clearly antagonistic suona might just have a different effect.

Within the suona, the high-pitched melody burst forth and, in a place unseen by Lu Ban, between the constellations, the attention of some being was drawn just a bit closer.

The surging concrete enveloped Lu Ban, trying to flow into his brain through his ears, nose, mouth, and eyes, but the melody of the suona plunged these monsters’ avatars into an even deeper frenzy, to the point that they even forgot this instinctual behavior.

The earthquake was getting more and more severe; at this very moment, the Jiangcheng City Geological Bureau, still unaware of what had happened, had just issued an earthquake warning. Agencies like the fire department were still mobilizing, and most people could only hide under their beds, huddled together with their families.

Therefore, the vast majority of people didn’t notice that, in the dim night sky, a star flickered a few times at a frequency that was absolutely unnatural. These flickers may have been but a trivial glimpse in the billions of years of cosmic history, but for Lu Ban at this moment, for the monster in Nanhua Private Renji Hospital right now, it was enough to change everything.

There was a momentary pause in the concrete, but it rapidly started boiling over, the eyes and mouths within the concrete opening, and the entire building changed shape like melting ice cream.

Lu Ban felt the ground beneath him give way, and he rushed out of the room at the end of the corridor.

He wasn’t sure if the demolition team’s explosives would be able to destroy the monster, but Lu Ban ran along the corridor.

Taking out his phone, there was no signal; he couldn’t contact the outside world.

It was then that Lu Ban saw something.

In this world that had become indescribable and twisted to the extreme, Lu Ban found something that remained unchanged.

At the same time, he recalled some text he had seen before.

“It says, the mirror in the elevator can reflect what is real and what is false; those malicious and vicious creatures, they have no shadow.”

It’s the elevator!

Lu Ban saw that metal contrivance floating among the concrete, yet it had not changed its form.

The old, decrepit door opened as if to greet Lu Ban.

He came to the doorway, saw the mirror inside, shining like new, as if someone cleaned it every day.

“This mirror… the monsters are afraid of this mirror, or rather, it has a suppressive effect on them,” Lu Ban thought immediately.

The baby avatar of the monster would follow people up the stairs but would not take the elevator.

The controlled corpses could enter the elevator, but they became like puppets with their strings cut.

The mirror inside the elevator was set up very strangely, able to reflect things that didn’t belong to this world.

The little girl in the mirror was clearly not in a state that required her to crawl to move.

And that worker who drove away the anchor…

This mirror could perhaps contain another world… or rather…

“This is the gateway between two worlds!”

Lu Ban stepped into the elevator; he saw his own reflection in the mirror, pale-faced but still managing a smile.

A little girl stood beside him, looking blue in the face, but not particularly eerie.

“So, it was you…”

Lu Ban understood it all.
