Chapter 1250 The Answer That Can Not Be Touched
“Since you have safely returned to Nuuk and said that you want to put the things that happened during the expedition behind you, why do you still want to join such a mysterious cult?”Sonja asked the biggest question in her heart.
“Because both the doctor and I underestimated the impact of what we saw below. After we returned, our lives were indeed peaceful for a period of time, but then we had nightmares at night and started to have inexplicable low fevers. The content of the dreams was usually related to the city under the ice. At first, we thought that it was because the previous scene was too terrifying and left a deep impression on us, so it appeared repeatedly in our dreams. But later, when we checked the time, we found that the days of our dreams were almost exactly the same, and the content of our dreams were also the same. Only then did we realize that there might be something wrong with us.
“After that, we went for a physical check-up, but we couldn’t find anything. Our physical indicators were normal, except that we were a little depressed due to the nightmare. We didn’t know who to save for this kind of thing. Since the end of the expedition, we lost contact with Mr. Tam. It was as if he had vanished into thin air. Moreover, considering what he had done to us, even if I had his contact information, I wouldn’t look for him again.
“After that, I called the Chinese couple, and they told me that they were not troubled by similar nightmares. Since the end of the expedition, their physical and mental conditions were normal, and they could not be better.
“The doctor and I were very strange. We suspected that it was just our imagination, but when we found the old seal they gave us and put it on our bodies, the situation became much better, but we were not happy about it. Instead, we fell into a great panic, because it meant that the underground city and the monsters below were still influencing us in another way.

“And after that, in my daily life, I always felt that someone was spying on me, and so did the doctor, and in order to uncover our secrets, we began our own investigation of the city under the ice, and I noticed that the description in a novel was very similar to that of the city, but the night I borrowed the novel from the library, I had a horrible, long nightmare, and when I finally opened my eyes, I found myself lying in a hospital bed, and the Doctor was looking at me with a sad face.
“He forced a smile on his face when I woke up. I asked him why I was here. He said I had been unconscious for a whole day and a half. I was shocked when I heard that. I thought someone had drugged me, but then I remembered something Mr. Tam said to us before he left. He said that ignorance is bliss. Sometimes the more you try to find the answer, the deeper you fall. “But I didn’t take it to heart at the time, so I went back and checked the water and food in the house, and after making sure there was nothing wrong, I opened the book again and read the first story in it called ‘Crazy Mountains’. To be honest, the story was not easy to read, the sentences were obscure, boring, and full of long descriptions of the environment, but the protagonists in the story were very similar to my experience, except that they went to the south pole and Greenland was in the Arctic Circle.
“But the more I read, the more frightened I became, because I have reason to suspect that the monster in the story is the same species as the one that attacked our camp. They don’t seem to be creatures from Earth. If I had read such a story before this expedition, I would have treated it as a fictional horror story. But now I suspect that the author of the book has experienced something similar. Unfortunately, he has been dead for many years, or I would have called him,” said Sachus.

“After reading the story, I climbed into bed. I had insomnia for a long time and couldn’t fall asleep after tossing and turning. It was around four in the morning when I fell asleep due to exhaustion. After that, I found myself back in the city under the ice. I was scared half to death, especially when the things inside came to life and used their tentacles to strangle my neck. I felt like I couldn’t breathe…”
“Until I vaguely heard the doctor’s voice calling my name, and then, with all my strength, I finally broke free from that horrible nightmare, only to find myself lying in a hospital bed again, with a catheter and a needle.
“Beck said thank God, Sachus. You finally woke up. I asked him how long I slept this time. He said that for a full five days, the hospital suspected that I would never wake up again. During this period, he kept putting an old mark made of a stone on my chest. This coma also confirmed one thing for me. That is, I can not continue to investigate. The truth will probably only lead us into endless madness and fear in the end.
“The Doctor agreed with me because he had done some research, and because he happened to be wearing the old seal, his condition was slightly better than mine. However, he also felt that his mental condition had worsened, and his low fever and nightmares had become more frequent. Therefore, we reached a consensus and stopped there.
“At the same time, we also began to turn to some scientific means to stop those nightmares and restore our spirits. We did some psychological treatment, but it had little effect. We tried to forget everything about the expedition, but it didn’t succeed. Until one day, a mysterious hybrid visited my house and told me that he had a way to solve the problem that I was facing now.
“From the very beginning, I guessed that he was lying, but at that time, I was searching for a way to get rid of the nightmare. No matter what method I tried, I would give it a try. So, I followed him to their church.
“At that time, they were carrying out a daily ritual. When I arrived at their base, I felt that something was wrong because the style of decoration there was very similar to that terrifying city under the ice. However, it was too late for me to leave. They forced me to watch their bloody and crazy ritual. Only then did I realize that the object of their worship was the huge shadow in the palace in the city.
“After the ceremony ended, they had completely fallen out with me and gave me two choices. One was to start working for them from today onwards and join them at the right time to become one of them. They said that I was also chosen and that this was my final destination. The other was to become the sacrificial offering for the next sacrifice. To be honest, I didn’t want to choose either of these two choices, but in comparison, the first choice was still slightly better than the second. Hence, I became the leader of that group from then on.”
