Chapter 650: PredicamentКлючевые словаDice In The DarknessПоделитьсяКомментарии

As for why humans can obtain the projection of the "Sacred Book", it is because the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall has treated the projection of the "Sacred Book" as a "divine artifact", and such divine artifacts can only be obtained by the players.

Of course, in order to make the plot more reasonable, the NPCs related to the projection of the "Sacred Book" module can certainly also obtain it, because if only the players can get the projection of the "Sacred Book", the players will certainly be without fear, which is certainly something the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall does not want to see.

As for why Liu Xing has never heard of the projection of the "Sacred Book", it is probably because the projection of this "Sacred Book" is a bug-level existence, so the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall may not have been willing to give the projection of the "Sacred Book" to the players at the beginning. However, there are always exceptions, and the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall may not be able to control the bug-level projection of the "Sacred Book", so special modules related to the projection of the "Sacred Book" will always appear.

However, the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall still has no intention of handing over the projection of the "Sacred Book" to the players, just like the situation Liu Xing is facing now. Although Liu Xing has the opportunity to obtain the projection of that "Sacred Book", the mission issued by Tsathoggua forces Liu Xing to honestly help Miss Wang obtain the projection of the "Sacred Book", because unless the projection of that "Sacred Book" can instantly upgrade Liu Xing to the level of a Great Old One, Liu Xing would not dare to take a chance on the projection of the "Sacred Book".

People still need to have self-awareness.

So Liu Xing has now made up his mind that he will calmly help Miss Wang get the projection of the "Sacred Book", so that he can at least get the mysterious grand prize given by Tsathoggua.

But speaking of which, if Tsathoggua gets the projection of the "Sacred Book", the first Great Old One to take the stage in this parallel world in the future may very well be Tsathoggua. It is not known whether this is a blessing or a curse, because Liu Xing may not be able to use the "Chris" character card in the future.

Liu Xing rubbed his chin, suddenly feeling like he had become a servant of two families... no, three families, because he has now become entangled in some kind of inexplicable relationship with Cthulhu, Hastur, and Tsathoggua, and if you count the already estranged Gralki and the elusive Aughra classmate, Liu Xing can be said to have a wide range of "friends" at the moment.

What Liu Xing doesn’t know is that at this moment, Aughra is chatting with Tsathoggua in the underground palace.

Aughra also smiled and said, "Tsathoggua, you’d better not smile, your big mouth is really scary when you smile, and you can rest assured that since I, Aughra, have promised you, I will definitely not go back on my word. When that kid is able to get the projection of the "Sacred Book", that projection of the "Sacred Book" will belong to you."

Tsathoggua nodded... although the Tsathoggua without a neck nodded a bit strangely, "But speaking of which, Mr. Aughra, why are you so concerned about that human and specially asked me to lend a hand to him?"

Aughra revealed a mysterious smile and said seriously, "Tsathoggua, you know very well that the guy from the Yis People clan has already broken the rules set by the upper echelons, and now he even wants to take the projection of the "Sacred Book" to whitewash himself. If the upper echelons weren’t so strict about the rules, that guy would have been wiped out long ago. So the upper echelons asked me to lend a hand to that human kid, to ensure that everything is restored to the right track. But since the projection of the "Sacred Book" has already been brought out, we can’t just stuff it back in, so this time it will be to Tsathoggua’s advantage."

Tsathoggua’s eyes rolled, and he said with a smile, "Not only that, but I remember that thing is about to start, don’t tell me you don’t have any ideas about it, Aughra?"

Aughra’s expression changed, and he said with a helpless tone, "Of course I have ideas about that thing. Although my personal strength is the bottom of the incarnations, that thing doesn’t just depend on our individual strength, so I still want to take a gamble at the end."

Aughra paused for a moment and then stared at Tsathoggua’s mobile phone and continued, "So, how do you see it, Tsathoggua?"

"Then of course I will be loyal to you, Mr. Aughra," Tsathoggua immediately replied.

Hearing Tsathoggua say this, Aughra couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief and said, "I knew I didn’t misjudge you. Tsathoggua, you’re really one of a kind, and if you don’t mind, can you introduce your uncle to me?"

"Of course, if you have time now, Mr. Aughra, we can go find my uncle right away. I’m sure it will be willing to support you, and my avatar here is also about to run out of support for my manifestation," Tsathoggua said with a smile.

Aughra nodded, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

As for Tsathoggua, he remained in the same place, but a trace of bewilderment appeared in his eyes.

Let’s shift the perspective back upstairs.

At this time, Liu Xing has agreed to help Miss Wang seize the projection of the "Sacred Book", and Miss Wang has also revealed the exact situation of the projection of the "Sacred Book" and the plan she has already prepared.

First, the projection of the "Sacred Book" is currently in a virtual state, and even Tsathoggua only knows that the projection of the "Sacred Book" will appear in the London metropolitan area within half a month, but it is not easy to say exactly where the projection of the "Sacred Book" will appear.

Then there are quite a few forces that want to snatch the projection of the "Sacred Book". Miss Wang has already confirmed that there are four forces, and behind each of these five forces is an ancient god, that is, the support of a Great Old One. One of the forces is Liu Xing’s old acquaintance - the Cult of the Cadaver.

In addition to the Cult of the Cadaver and Ithaqua, the other two forces are the followers of Gralki and the followers of Cthulhu.

However, what made Liu Xing feel a bit strange here was that Miss Wang was quite certain that there was also the support of a Great Old One behind Ithaqua, but it was unknown which specific Great Old One it was.

And Liu Xing really couldn’t figure out who the Great Old One standing behind Ithaqua might be, after all, Liu Xing truly didn’t know that in the Cthulhu Mythos, that Great Old One was related to the Yis People clan.

Could it be that after successfully hacking the account, Ithaqua then manipulated "Liu Xing" to start worshiping a certain Great Old One?

Liu Xing thought about it and felt that this possibility might not be very high, because Juri Sonoda had previously told him that although "Liu Xing" became a bit strange after waking up in the hospital, he didn’t run around crazily, and his whereabouts were still under her control. Moreover, at that time, Ithaqua also had to abide by the rules of the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall and focus on playing the role of "Liu Xing" well. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t have had any contact with any Great Old One, unless the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall deliberately arranged a related module, but the possibility of this was very low, because Ithaqua’s behavior had already embarrassed the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall, so how could the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall choose to help Ithaqua?

Therefore, in Liu Xing’s view, there was only one possibility now, that is, Ithaqua had already obtained the help of a certain Great Old One before hacking his account, because Liu Xing had never felt that a small Yis People clan alone could bypass the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall to hack his account.

But speaking of that, Liu Xing suddenly remembered something at this time, that is, a certain ancient god named Taketori had once promised to help him regain his body, but now it seems that she would not be able to help, because at this point in time, she had not yet regained her freedom.

Getting back to the main topic.

Currently, including Liu Xing and Miss Wang, there are a total of five factions vying for the projection of the "Sacred Book", and the strength of the five factions is not much different. But since this is originally a zero-sum game, all the Great Old Ones want to get the projection of the "Sacred Book", so there is no possibility of cooperation between the factions.

Therefore, the current situation is very clear, the faction that wants to get the projection of the "Sacred Book" must find a way to eliminate the other four factions, and now all the factions are doing so, such as the small actions Ithaqua is currently taking, which Miss Wang is fully aware of, and Miss Wang has also arranged for a few assassins to deal with Ithaqua, but those assassins’ attacks were all avoided by Ithaqua at the last moment.

After all, Ithaqua is a Yis People, although it is now using the body of "Liu Xing", it can still use its racial talents, although it may be a bit weaker.

As for the small tricks of the other factions, they are also endless. For example, a few days ago, some followers of the Cult of the Cadaver went to Chinatown to cause trouble, trying to attract Miss Wang’s attention, but fortunately Miss Wang has cultivated a group of trusted followers in the family over the years, otherwise she would have been distracted.

But the most ruthless one so far is the followers of Gralki, after all, the followers of Gralki are essentially human puppets, just ordinary consumables for Gralki, so Gralki has arranged for its followers to launch assassinations against the followers of Cthulhu... Although it’s called assassination, it’s actually just barging into the residences of the Cthulhu followers with weapons, and then it’s either you die or I die.

The followers of Cthulhu also know that the followers of Gralki have already become walking corpses, so they can only choose the "36 stratagems", with retreat being the best strategy. They have already left the London city area, but everyone knows that the followers of Cthulhu will come back.

As for Miss Wang, she hasn’t made a move against the other factions yet, because in Miss Wang’s view, it’s still too early. Unless she can wipe out the opponents in one fell swoop, any actions she takes now will be in vain, and there is also the possibility of exposing her trump cards and incurring unnecessary losses.

So Miss Wang has decided to take action officially only three days before the projection of the "Sacred Book" appears, and the specific content of the action will depend on the situation at that time. As for what Liu Xing needs to do, it has already been determined, which is to use the power of the London police to deal with the other factions.

Although there are quite a few aristocrats, even members of the royal family, among the followers of the Cult of the Cadaver, their influence on the London police or England’s law enforcement is still very small, after all, England’s police officers are directly loyal to Her Majesty the Queen.

And now Her Majesty the Queen is still in very good health, unlike 10 years later when she is already half buried, so it is basically impossible for the aristocratic followers of the Cult of the Cadaver to bypass Her Majesty the Queen and put pressure on the London police.

So as long as Miss Wang, as a law-abiding citizen, files a report, and Liu Xing cooperates from the inside, they can directly send the police to arrest the people of the other factions.

Finally, Liu Xing didn’t forget to ask about the situation of the Ghoul from last night, and Miss Wang has already treated Liu Xing as one of her own, so she directly told the truth.

It turns out that because Tsathoggua has been resting in the underground palace in London for years, some Ghouls who originally lived in the underground world have encountered Tsathoggua, and then these Ghouls have become Tsathoggua’s followers under Tsathoggua’s summons... Although Liu Xing feels that Tsathoggua must have coerced and tempted those Ghouls to follow it, it has to be said that Tsathoggua’s eloquence may also be truly good, after all, a long time ago, many snake men who believed in the Serpent God Yig had also converted to Tsathoggua.

In short, now there are dozens of Ghouls who have become Tsathoggua’s followers, and these Ghouls, fearing punishment from Mordiggian, have been staying in Tsathoggua’s underground palace to serve as guards, and also to protect Miss Wang’s safety. However, since these Ghouls don’t dare to stray too far from Tsathoggua, Miss Wang doesn’t expect them to be able to accompany her in her actions outside.

But Tsathoggua also knows that in terms of personal strength, Miss Wang is definitely not even able to defeat a single Ghoul, so Tsathoggua gave Miss Wang five Formless Offspring as bodyguards a long time ago, and now, in order to seize the projection of the "Sacred Book", it has also given Miss Wang control over five more Formless Offspring.

However, since Liu Xing is still a hidden card, Miss Wang has not arranged for the Formless Offspring to accompany Liu Xing’s actions, after all, this would be too easy for the other factions to discover, and then Liu Xing’s situation would be very dangerous.

Of course, Liu Xing knows that this is because the Cthulhu Role-Playing Game Hall doesn’t want him to have a smooth sailing, because if he had Formless Offspring as bodyguards, he wouldn’t have to worry about his safety in the upcoming Locke’s son’s wedding and the subway capture operation.
