“Meow.”

Another meow popped into Ke Meng’s head.

The big-faced cat seemed dead, but it was actually alive. However, its mouth remained still when it was meowing.

Ke Meng looked at the white furry cat that did not speak the human language or stir things up. In the end, he gave up messing with it.

Throughout the voluntary home quarantine, Ke Meng used contactless delivery service to settle his lunch and dinner.

After taking a shower in the evening, he asked Chen Momo through QQ, “You there? Sleeping?”

“Not yet.” Chen Momo’s picture was a white paper with a drop of ink, and her online moniker was Momo.

She said two seconds later, “PUBG?”

Ke Meng thought to himself, he had no idea how would he ask the thing that he wanted to ask. He thought he would just ask during the game.

“Yes!” Ke Meng replied with a single word. His answer was simple and straightforward.

Soon, Ke Meng and Chen Momo began playing an exciting doubles PUBG match on their phones. He chatted with her while driving in the game and asked about their health casually.

Chen Momo and her mother had not felt ill at all. They were feeling pretty good.

After two matches with the girl, Chen Momo said in her weak voice, “Brother Meng, I need to finish my homework.”

“Go. Make sure you pay attention in school.” Ke Meng checked the time. It was already 10:30 p.m.

“Okay.”

When the girl logged out, Ke Meng turned off the game too. He thought he would log into B Site to check the commentary video that he had just uploaded.

“Unboxing: How good is a 20,000 yuan camera?

Ke Meng released a soft sigh after glancing at the pathetic data.

As a fresh vlogger, it was normal for nobody to watch his videos.

“Forget it. It’s just to entertain myself anyway.” Ke Meng let it go, and he soon picked up himself.

After turning off the computer, he placed the big-faced cat into another room. He locked the room to prevent it from transferring its soul somewhere else and moving around at night.

Ke Meng went to bed after he was done with all that.

He fell asleep soon, and his consciousness became blurry.

In his dream, he heard the blooping flow of the ocean water again.

Once more, he dreamed of that monster with gigantic octopus head and tentacles. His soul left his body and flew into the monster in a whoosh.

When He opened his eyes again, the massive green rocks city appeared before His eyes.

The maniacal marine creatures were still fighting all over the place. They were bashing each other, biting and tearing each other apart, and attacking with their tails. Their eyes were bloodshot.

Ke Meng looked at his perspective: a green ocean bottom city and marine creatures fighting. He was familiar with the scene as even a dummy would understand what had happened by now.

His body had been linked with Cthulhu in the game world. The trigger of the switch might be dreaming. Otherwise, there was no other explanation to tell why He turned into Boss Ke twice He slept.

“So, how long do I have to stare blankly for this time?”

Ke Meng looked at the same old massive City of R’lyeh, feeling distressed about the next few hours.

He secretly called out to the system, so the system panel popped up. It still displayed the data of the invincible Ultimate Boss.

The negative state of Elder God’s Seal was extremely eye-catching. He still could not move, whereby He could only watch the boring ocean bottom world like that.

As the Ultimate Boss, Boss Ke had no idea what He should do now.

The game had just started, so He had no idea when the player would get to Him.

Just like that, Ke Meng watched the ocean bottom blankly.

To kill His boredom, He began studying the species of those marine creatures.

In biological classification, there were seven main taxonomic ranks which were kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Ke Meng learned about the marine creatures one after another with the limited knowledge He had.

After watching them for a few hours, pathetically, Ke Meng realized that he had no idea how to categorize those marine creatures. He wasted his secondary school biology teachers’ time teaching him all that.

At that very moment, a low mumble appeared next to Boss Ke’s ears. It fluctuated up and down, and the tone was getting clearer gradually after the initial blur.

“Oh, the almighty Cthulhu…The Sleeper of R’lyeh…The Great Old One!”

It was a call from far away. Someone was calling Him by His long godly name.

Boss Ke heard the long name while his consciousness was in a trance. As if he had traveled through time and space, he saw the summoning place far away.

It was another poor and backward small mountain village.

Compared to the Cat-faced People Mountain Village the last time, there were a bunch of people in black robes and dog masks.

They surrounded an old well which had a magic formation drawn with some fluorescent material around it. There were eight candles on the eight sides of the magic formation. A creepy green gleam glowed from the candles.

The people in dog masks surrounded the well like it was a bonfire gathering. They were walking around the well in a circle while chanting Cthulhu’s extremely long godly name.

‘It’s a well this time, but it was a pond the last time…’ Ke Meng thought to himself. Could water be required for the ceremony to summon Him?

Just when Ke Meng thought to Himself, all of the black-robed people in dog masks shook and knelt immediately. They were kowtowing while trembling. They dared not lift their heads to look at the well as they said in shaky voices, “The almighty Cthulhu, we’re the villagers of the Dog-headed People Mountain Village. There have been rookie adventurers invading our village recently. They took 100 dog-headed women right in front of us. We no longer have any women that can reproduce in our village. Please come to the world and obliterate those evil adventurers!”

Ke Meng secretly raised his brows upon hearing the dog-headed men’s devastating cry.

‘These players are interesting. They took the NPCs’ wives. How thirsty are they? Or perhaps it’s their special mission.’

Ke Meng looked around the Dog-headed People Mountain Village in a curious manner. All of the people in dog masks wore black robes while their all fours were on the ground, so He could not tell which ones were women. Therefore, He was not sure how many women were left in the Dog-headed People Mountain Village.

Perhaps it was really as they said, whereby there were no women left.

Meanwhile, the dog-headed people that had all fours on the ground were shaking. They sensed a real, gravely terrifying consciousness power sweeping through them, and they felt like their bodies had fallen into an icehouse.

There seemed to be invisible tentacles penetrating their bodies and masks, going into their ears, nostrils, eyes, and mouths.

How uncomfortable! It was so uncomfortable!

Fortunately, the suppression merely passed. It did not stay for long, or they would have definitely died of suffocation.

At that moment, one of the black-robed people with a larger body began wiggling. He had a small basin in both hands. He moved by smashing his head against the ground while kneeling on both knees. His knees wiggled left and right to shuffle forward.

Ke Meng looked at the black-robed man with his hands lifted, and the latter began shaking intensely.

The glare made a line of white words from the foreign world that appeared above the black-robed man’s head. His consciousness recited the language of the foreign world into something that Ke Meng understood.

‘Dog-headed Priest. So, is this an elite monster?’

Ke Meng then had his eyes on the basin in the man’s hands. There was a cloth wrapper the size of a palm in it. It was round, but He was not sure what was wrapped in it.

The Dog-headed Priest was suffocating at the moment while he was shaking intensely. Although that was the case, he knelt as he shuffled forward in determination.

A couple of minutes later, the Dog-headed Priest arrived by the well by kneeling. He lifted the little basin high as his head remained on the ground because he did not dare to raise his head. 

He shouted in a manner where his lungs were going to burst, “This is a little something from us! Please accept this sacrifice from your slaves.”

The little basin fell into the well as soon as he was done speaking.

As Ke Meng blinked, the sacrificial place in the small mountain village disappeared, and He was looking at the ceiling at home.

He had once again returned to reality.
