Subtitle of this chapter: I'a-I'a, Neo-Yuan-Fhatgn! (note 1)

"Wait a minute, sir. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Pls are you...... Yellow-King? ”

Yellow-King...... The name of such a second breath is naturally the pen name adopted by our Master Yuan. Of course, if you modify it a little, it will become The-King-in-Yellow.

When Yuan Yanqian heard this, she turned around and replied, "I'm Yellow-King." You are ......"

Heck, I didn't feel like I was a bit ashamed to be called to my face and say it myself.

He looked at the other party again, this gentleman had a big long face like a winter melon, small eyes, small mouth, and big nose, how weird it looked. And our Master Yuan was secretly ashamed in his heart, why didn't he recognize such a distinctive appearance just now.

"Great, finally seeing you!" The person who came took off his hat and put it on his chest, and said very respectfully, "I am ......"

"Howard-Phillips-Lovecraft."

Yuan Yanqian, who finally matched his appearance and memory, suddenly felt that his SAN value was showing signs of instability.

"Oh, you're a master of craftsmanship...... Yes, sir. Why are you here? ”

The master of the craft said very naturally: "I responded to the Yellow-King...... It's your calling! ”

Calling, Calling, Calling...... Call?!

"Big, big, master ball, quickly confirm that there are no signs of evil god invasion in this timeline?! By the way, is a time-traveler like me the embodiment of the old ruler?! Am I ...... The-King-in-Yellow？！ ”

"Host, please rest assured, such a big change in painting style, this system will notify you in advance. In addition, you can't be the embodiment of the old rulers. Not to mention the King of Yellow, even the Faceless and Deep Divers can't be the Faceless. ”

"And what about the investigators?"

"Alright, host, the art style of this timeline won't be so weird, unless you can complete the Celestial Quest and obtain a six-star Celestial Item: The Book of Lalaye, or a seven-star Celestial Item: Necronomican. The content of the task is ......"

"Stop, stop, I don't want to hear a word!"

Yuan Yanqian, who was relieved, asked curiously: "Mr. Ai Craft, I haven't summoned you." By the way, my name is Neo-Yuan. ”

What a Yellow-King, what a Yellow King, it's a shame.

The master of love craftsmanship took out a pile of manuscripts from his bag and said with high emotions: "It is this novel that guides me to Mr. Yuan." ”

This novel is naturally Stephen King...... Well, the Territory of Jerusalem by Yellow-King.

He continued to say excitedly: "I want to write to you right away after reading it in one sitting. But he didn't know what to write on the letterhead, so he took the first train from Providence (note 2) to New York. ”

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. After asking your neighbors, I found out that Mr. Yuan was a ...... Well, the Chinese. That's why I took the liberty of saying hello to you. ”

Yuan Yan said in his heart, sure enough, he really summoned it himself.

"That's it...... That ......"

There was nowhere to go so late, so I had to go to my own house.

"Then let's go to the Humble House and talk."

Our Master Yuan didn't know that this invitation from him opened the famous "fireside ghost...... Well, myths". Now he had taken on a temporary assignment first.

"Bang Bang Bang, this system releases a temporary task: reshaping the three views."

"Mission: The host is to remodel the Howard-Phillips-Lovecraft ideology as much as possible."

"Quest Reward: Qualifier (TBD)."

Understood, the task is to lower this guy's SAN value, and then suck his brain...... Well, washed. So what can you do to accomplish this task yourself?

"It's rude to have a humble house."

"Where, where, it was rude for me to visit suddenly."

"Mr. Lovecraft, please be seated. Wait a minute, I'll light the fireplace. ”

Yuan Yanqian's apartment was very shabby, so she had to let the guests sit on the sofa. But his little apartment has a small fireplace. No way, the world hadn't warmed in the 1920s, and the apartment wasn't heated, and the temperature in New York at night in November was just 5 degrees.

Don't forget that our Master Yuan is a southerner, and even if he wears autumn clothes and pants, he is choked by the cold, so he has to spend money to buy some firewood and put it at home.

Somewhat awkwardly, he lit the firewood in the fireplace and took out another bottle...... Five-plus skin. There is still no way, the Cantonese people in Chinatown are just like this, and he can't buy Lao Gan Ma and Liuwei Dihuang Pills, so he has to drink this to relieve his homesickness.

It's a pity that the master of love craftsmanship can't get used to this smell and politely declines, so Yuan Yanqian has no choice but to drink alone with a regretful look.

As soon as he sat down, he heard the other party ask impatiently, "May I ask Mr. Yuan, how did you know about me?" ”

Yuan Yanqian thought to herself, I don't necessarily have to tell you the old man, and in later generations, Western horror and fantasy literary and artistic works have been more or less influenced by you. Especially in the two major sub-cultures of table games and video games, you have become a god.

However, because there is no influential movie like "The Lord of the Rings", and there is no online article setting of Jing Keshou's book "The Last Earth God of War" that makes DND a bad street. Although Little Japan uses "Sneak! Light novels and comics like Naiako have made the indescribable Cthulhu cute. However, Cthulhu Kitchen was really a niche in China, and like Warhammer 40K, it became an exclusive hobby for otaku to improve their quality.

But Cthulhu has too much influence on Western otaku culture, and even Yuan Hongjian has not run the Cthulhu group, but just played WOW and "Silent Hill...... Even the oriental quasi-otaku of the red and white machine "Contra" have heard the name of the master who loves craftsmanship. (note 3)

In 2017, when Yuan Hongjian came through, Cthulhu has gradually become a prominent student in the Chinese otaku culture circle.

The reason is that Cthulhu's worldview is really different!

Note 1: Long live long live, Mr. Yuan sends sugar!

Note 2: Providence, the capital of the U.S. state of Rhode Island. Located at the mouth of the Providence River, an important seaport in the Narragansett Bay on the Atlantic coast.

It is worth mentioning the state of Rhode, whose full name is Rhodes Island and Providence-Plantations, which is generally referred to simply as Rhode Island. Not only is it the longest state in the United States, it is also the smallest state, and one of the oldest 13-state unions.

Rhode Island is actually part of the so-called "New England." So growing up there, adults love crafts, and adults become "living fossils of Mayflowers".

Note 3: The setting of World of Warcraft, especially many of the gods, is borrowed from the Cthulhu Mythos.

The Silent Hill series seems to have nothing to do with Cthulhu on the surface, but it has various elements, weird and eerie towns, blind monsters, evil idolatry, and a confusion of reality and fantasy...... And so on, all with a full Cthulhu style.

Even the "Contra" in the ancient red and white machine is affected by Cthulhu, just look at those disgusting Bala's bosses.
