A feast of fear and despair.
Under the melody of wailing and screaming.
A flower of evil blooms in Arkham, made of flesh and blood.
Today is destined to be an unforgettable day.
One night passed.
The inner world begins to fade away, and the outer world begins to return to the land of new life.
A ray of morning light composed of world rules fell on Arkham.
Finally brought a touch of warmth to the cold metal city and became clear again.
The warmth dispels the cold fog of confusion and all kinds of negative emotions.
Along with all the weird and strange creatures disappeared.
The bloody end left only the mess everywhere.
Flesh and blood covered every inch of Arkham.
The bright red color is like delicate rose petals covering the earth.
Those who were still alive lay motionless among their flesh and blood.
There was only numbness, fear and confusion in his eyes as he stared at the sky.
In the sky, the steam airship is still lingering, and red festive banners hang down from it:
Celebrating Arkham’s 101st anniversary!
It's so dazzling at this time.
"Dang~dang~dang~"
The dull bell is driven by precise gears at the moment of six o'clock.
The sound from the huge wall clock echoes in every corner of the city.
Someone finally regained his dazed consciousness amidst the sound of the bell.
Crying, whining, helpless...smiling.
A different melody began to intertwine.
Of course, it wasn't anyone in Arkham who was smiling.
There is always happiness based on the pain of others.
This smile comes from Shen Hui who is watching all this from God's perspective.
Everyone in Arkham is once again reminded of their deepest and ancient fears.
Sadako, the pig-headed butcher...all Chen Hui's weird heroes.
Also in this bloody night, a lot of negative emotions and flesh and blood were harvested.
Their strength will grow from this and continue to grow stronger.
Next, comes the final stage.
This incident is called this by those who survived in Arkham.
——Great ruin.
The reconstruction work after the great destruction took ten days to finally be completed.
After counting the number of people, it was found that nearly 20,000 people died in the great destruction.
This is undoubtedly a tragic blow, and it is also an unforgettable event that they will record in history.
After a period of time, all the weird creatures did not appear again.
It's like completely gone.
But Arkham has always seemed lifeless.
It's better than having weird creatures appear from time to time, but it's better than the coming of a great ruin.
And no one knows whether the next great collapse will happen again, or how long it will take.
This sense of unknown fear is the Sword of Damocles hanging above their heads.
Make it difficult for them to sleep and eat well.
And because of the Great Destruction, the landscape of Arkham began to change.
There are fewer and fewer people cementing the conservative wing.
Simple awe will not keep them safe.
More and more people are joining the radical faction.
They began to investigate the world and strange creatures.
Although it conflicts with their fear, they have to go on.
Six months later, strange creatures gradually appeared again during this period.
But the frequency of occurrence is not very high, and it does not have much impact on them.
Regarding the progress of the investigation of strange creatures in this world, it can be described as difficult to move forward.
They cannot enter the world in the fog, otherwise they will be lost and their lives will be exhausted.
Weird and strange creatures are also existences that the steam technology they possess cannot deal with.
But during this period, a large number of people suffered from mental disorders due to the Great Destruction.
Start having the same type of dream, a dream made up of deep seas, whispers, and indescribable tentacles.
This is undoubtedly related to the artworks created by the radicals in the first place.
Some people even fall into extreme madness and arrogance because of these dreams.
They claimed to have seen something, but they couldn't explain it.
So Arkham Asylum was built.
Lock up all these lunatics.
Within the radicals there were again two categories.
One is that they feel that this dream is calling them.
Thinking this is real, it must be a projection from somewhere.
And it is a place that can protect them and give them safety from this world.
The other group naturally believed that this dream was ominous.
Just like those weird and strange creatures, they should not be contacted.
We should not even try to find it out.
Time passes again, towards the end of the year.
Various weird and strange creatures appear more and more frequently.
It's exactly the same as it was before the last big bust.
Everyone began to make preparations, but there was no substantial preparation.
Because they simply don't know how to deal with it.
Until another year's celebration of Arkham's founding.
The Great Destruction came as expected.
This time, no one was celebrating on the streets, but they all stayed in their homes and hid in fear.
Until the morning light fell on the city the next day, most people were safe and sound.
There was only some damage and deaths.
According to statistics, the number of dead plus missing is around 5,000.
Compared with the 20,000 deaths in the Great Destruction last year, it was a huge difference.
Those who survived were extremely lucky to have stayed home on the day of the Great Destruction.
If you're lucky, you're safe. If you're not lucky, you'll be one of the five thousand corpses.
But under such odds, there is finally hope.
It's just that unknown, uncertain fear that still hangs over Arkham.
This is naturally the restriction that Chen Hui set for Sadako and the others.
After all, the day when the outside world was transformed into the inner world was called the Great Destruction.
Just to harvest fear and pave the way for the Cthulhu faith later.
If it was just for pure killing, then there would be no point in growing this group of people.
Three more years have passed, and nothing has changed much in Arkham.
It's just that the number of people imprisoned in the lunatic asylum has increased.
Chen Hui felt that it was almost time. The next step was to completely open up the connection between Arkham and the Sea of Death.
The original power of the world began to interweave in the space under Shen Hui's control.
The rules changed, and the fog of death and negative emotions began to be excluded.
The scope of the New Land expanded again, finally expanding to a diameter of 107 kilometers.
Completely connected to the Sea of Death.
The deep divers in the Sea of Death are still building their own cities.
Although they noticed some changes outside, they preferred to stay in their own sea.
I have no thoughts of going ashore for the time being.
But it's different in Arkham.
The people in Arkham are always watching the world, investigating in every possible way.
The expansion of the New Land was discovered immediately.
It immediately attracted great attention and began to dispatch personnel to investigate.
