The system was instantly silenced, and Guan Li actually said sorry after a short silence.

He quickly calmed down, as if the irritability he had just made was an illusion.

"I don't think that under all equal conditions, the Cthulhu Mythos would have been chosen by them for plagiarism. He pressed the pause button and said to himself, "Lovecraft's book is a pivotal part of the Cthulhu system, and it pushes the atmosphere of 'fear of the unknown' to the extreme." ”

"But it can't be fired. ”

Lovecraft's far-reaching influence in the world is between his ability to make a living on the street with his writing...... There is no contradiction.

Even though the world has been exposed to Cthulhu elements since then, almost everyone has seen a cultural work that pays homage to Cthulhu.

However, there are still very few people who really know the name "Cthulhu Mythos".

Not to mention those who have seriously learned about the system.

Guan Li didn't think that those who hadn't even heard of the Foundation would know much about the Cthulhu Mythos.

- Either they don't know about the niche field of "sci-fi thrillers", or the world before they travel through them doesn't have these two systems at all!

Even if anyone knew about Cthulhu...... As long as there are other copyable options, you won't want to try this.

After all, the core value of the Cthulhu Mythos does not lie in the copyright of a certain book or books, but in its permeability and dissemination after the copyright is opened, and in the cultural symbols generated after its elements circulate around the world.

Want to monetize Cthulhu itself?

Please write a dozen works to shake out the worldview, then write a dozen to accumulate fame, and finally think about how to recreate on the original work and sell it for money.

The original work of the old man who loves craftsmanship and ruthlessly puts human beings in a desperate situation, it is strange that it can meet the taste of the public!

This is a typical genre of fanwork and homage to works that are more popular than the original.

"Unless one of them opens Cthulhu's rights like Dresser, it's just a pearl of dust with hellish operational difficulty. Guan Li showed a nonchalant smile and asked the system, "Do you think they will open up the copyright selflessly, or will they spend money to push this niche and obscure subject matter to the altar?"

System: You don't have to think about the question of "......", you must choose neither.

Those who can take the road of copying the public will definitely look for those topics that can explode at the beginning.

How can Cthulhu explode?

Hype up its curiosity?

That's the complete ruin of the genre!

Get on fire first, brush up your prestige, and then think about word-of-mouth influence and the like.

——This is the correct urban entertainment route that travelers should take.

Who would be like Guan Li, holding a full set of SCP Foundation plus systems, and just cating online for a month without moving?

Guan Li coughed, "This is called a long stream of water!"

"Get Cthulhu out of here, the Foundation will let you flow as you please. "After the system was thrown at such a large number of analysis, I still remember what I wanted to do.

If you name a lot of reasons that can delay time, you have to urge the change.

"You're just a Foundation system, not Cthulhu's...... "Why do you care so much about your family?!

...... "I'm afraid you'll be salted to death, silly boy!"

The system didn't bother to find another reason, and directly said: "Esther is flipping through the historical versions of 427 and 582, and is searching for content with 'Lovecraft' as a keyword on the whole site." ”

“…… Okay, I'll write it now. Guan Li's scalp tingled when he heard the name.

With Dr. Esther's earnestness, it would probably take less than two days to go through the entire Foundation and come to the door again with new conclusions and suspicions.

Forget it, it's not salty, it's not salty.

said that he would fight for the great cultural dissemination of the Foundation for the rest of his life, and sorting out Cthulhu was also to fill in the gaps in the Foundation's archives after all......

Make your own holes, fill them yourself.

The Cthulhu Mythos, in essence, depicts the fear of humanity – the fear of the unknown, the fear of the unbridled development of science, the fear of the consequences of technological deconstruction of nature.

The so-called "gods" in those books are all distant and unsearchable illusions, calamities and truths that human beings can never reach.

This chaotic and confusing agnostic thought runs through Lovecraft's work.

Dress, who obtained the copyright after his death, dug up this world hidden in the fog, and divided the "gods" and races inside into different camps and positions.

Wash away the eternal mystery in exchange for the spread of knowledge.

Thus, the specific concept of "Cthulhu Mythos" was born in his hands.

Guan Li wrote down the ideas of the two founders separately, labeling the former as "Cthulhu fundamentalism" and the latter as "modern Cthulhu mythology".

Then begin to write the origin story of this myth.

Like all myths, it begins with the creation of all things.

- At the beginning of the universe, only Azathoth (the source core of primordial chaos) existed. This god, who operates entirely on instinct, gave birth to "darkness", "nameless fog", and "chaos".

"Darkness" gave birth to the supreme mother goddess Shabu Nicholas, who was called the "black goat of the forest" and gave birth to almost all the gods and all life that followed.

The Nameless Mist gave birth to Yog Sototh. Yog Sothos knows all time and space, is the supreme being second only to Azathoth, and knows everything.

These two, together with the last "Chaos" Nyara Totip, are collectively known as the "Three Pillars of Genshin Impact" of the universe.

Other "gods" born for various reasons are also simply written with their names and origins.

Looking at these contents alone, it looks like a serious myth, but some adjectives are strange.

But this is where Cthulhu shocks the three views - these "gods" all have disgusting appearances that can only be described by words such as "hunting" and "weird", and are generally a disordered combination of organs and flesh and blood.

They may not be hostile to humans, but the threat is real.

It's like an elephant never cares if he or she doesn't trample on an ant, but just unintentionally robs his life.

- What does it have to do with you to destroy you?

At this point, Guan Li's hand stopped.

He found that his poor vocabulary was completely unable to convey the shocking heterogeneity of this aspect to the reader, and he had to regret giving up the idea of detailing this aspect.

After that, find a surrealist painter with strong brain replenishment ability and high tolerance ability, and paint those "gods".

Well, I hope to draw that chaotic and unknown sense of confusion that makes it easy for people to go crazy when they see it.

After a brief history of mythology, only the most important thing remains......

The ideological core of the Cthulhu Mythos.

- The more you know, the crazier you are, and the less you know, the more stable you are.

Reverence for nature, agnosticism, nothing more.

"System, sure enough, I still prefer the Foundation. Guan Li said as he checked for typos.

"I see. ”

"Undetectable, irresistible, gods and monsters outside of common sense seem to be like that?" he remembered how he had felt when he first learned about the SCP Foundation.

"The absurd reality never goes away, but human beings cannot live in fear all the time. ”

So the Foundation was born, using the power of humanity to protect itself in the dark and cold universe.

"No one can protect us, we have to protect ourselves. ”

Containment, Containment, Protection.
