"The City of Books? Innsmouth? The City of Books hadn't heard of it, but Innsmouth ...... Haven't you heard? Zhou Qiao first muttered to himself, and then swept his gaze to everyone.

"Cthulhu...... Haven't you watched The Cthulhu Mythos or played Bethesda's Dark Corners of Earth? Could it be that this main god space is a Cthulhu world?

Innsmouth ...... Deep Diver ...... Dependents...... Gold...... Believer......

Feed! Dude, can you tell us what your last mission world was like?

Just...... When you mention the last quest world, you don't look right.

Seems...... As soon as you remember the previous world, your sanity begins to drop......

You say, the quest world is not the world of Cthulhu. ”

The gym man avoided his gaze.

The editor touched Natsume's soft body and said, "If you say that, teacher...... Your manuscript is indeed a little crazy and indescribable...... I originally thought it was a postmodern writing style, isn't it...... Is it true that everything in the manuscript really happened, as you said? ”

Natsume, who was scratched to his chin, didn't bother to answer, but "purr" and "purr" didn't answer.

The social animal man on the side also looked at the fitness man at this time.

The fitness man who was exposed to everyone's gaze no longer ran away, and at some point his lips had begun to crack, and the sound of his vocal cords fluttering in his throat was like a rat grinding its claws in a dilapidated and old attic.

"Yes...... That's it...... It's a Cthulhu world. Terror...... Unknown...... Indescribable...... Each of us is an investigator. Regardless of the mission that has been given to us, our role is to find out the "truth" of this world......"

The fitness man pointed to the city of holy books on the horizon and said, "Go there!" Every one of us will go crazy! Without exception...... Only...... Only by completing the quest and returning to the real world to heal with points will we return to normal......"

After glancing at the visceral wall of Innsmouth, the fitness man quickly withdrew his gaze, he took out a dice from his pocket, threw it on the ground, and counted the numbers on it.

It's a 20-sided dice.

When the gym guy sees the number "17" on the dice, he gasps for breath like a person whose head is pressed into the water and suddenly lifted out of the water.

"Is this sanity value?" Zhou Qiao picked up the dice and played with them in his hand, "If this is a Cthulhu world...... No! It's a world under the Cthulhu worldview. We just entered here, and you're so friendly to us, do you want to be friends with us?

The Cthulhu Run has three major artifacts. Crowbars, old seals, and friends.

Among them, a friend is a consumable.

Other words......

Were you going to sell your teammates from the beginning?

Interesting.

It's funny. ”

Zhou Qiao threw the dice, and the dice fell into the sand "15".

"Did I just look too closely at Innsmouth?" Zhou Qiao didn't return the dice to the fitness man, but threw them to the social animal man, "You can try it too." ”

“18”。

"Sister editor, you can try it too."

"Oh, good."

“20”。

"You're in such a good mental state!"

"Yes...... Is that so......" The editor glanced at the cat in her arms.

Zhou Qiao returned the dice to the fitness man, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you are my friend now." Let's go on a mission. Although I don't know what kind of reward this main god space will have for completing the task. But I want to ...... I guess I can't get off this thief ship.

Since there's no way back, why not have fun? ”

"You don't understand...... You don't understand anything......" muttered the fitness man as he took the dice.

"What don't you understand? We have brains, we have knowledge. Knowledge is power. Why be afraid? Let's go, let's hurry up and finish the mission. I can't wait to get back to the real world, and I'm pretending to be able to exchange it! Zhou Qiao, who was extremely optimistic, took the lead in the direction of Innsmouth.

The two natives of this world, since they saw the City of Sacred Books, have not been noisy to read books. Instead, with an extremely longing gaze, he looked at the outline of the city that looked like a dog crossing the highway and was tragically killed in a car accident, and its internal organs were sprayed on the guardrail.

Miss Editor thought back to Natsume-sensei's manuscript in her mind, even if the sun was scorching on the desert, she still felt very cold, and only the furry in her arms could make her feel warm.

"Nothing could go wrong, would it, Natsume-sensei?" Miss Editor asked.

"Don't worry, you've signed a contract with me, and you'll be fine." Natsume leaned back on the flat airfield, rediscovering a comfortable position.

Innsmouth on the horizon is gradually coming to the surface.

Compared to the distance, when you can only see the spire of the tallest building in the city, the entire huge city has already entered everyone's field of vision.

This is not a modern city, where high walls tower.

The drawbridge at the gate was lowered, and when you walked across it, you could see that it was heavily guarded.

If...... Don't look at the weird color of the wall, you want to vomit when you see it. This...... It's really like a world that is extremely restored to reality......

"Hey! Do you know how to get past the doorman? Zhou Qiao asked the native.

The two natives, who were already almost in a state of autism, directly crossed Zhou Qiao and walked towards the editor, polite, like a zombie wearing a gorgeous evening dress, a gentleman's bow, "You please first, you just need to take out your book." ”

"Do you want me to go first...... the editor hugged the cat in her arms and walked forward.

The guards on both sides of the city gate saw the editor come forward and wanted to examine it carefully, but when they saw the book that the editor had taken out, they immediately stood respectfully in place, and with extremely respectful expressions, watched them enter the city.

When Zhou Qiao entered the city gate, he looked around and saw those soldiers guarding the city, not checking any prohibited items, but checking the books in everyone's hands.

"The higher the level of the book, the higher the authority?" Zhou Qiao recorded new discoveries.

Entering the City of Sacred Books is like squeezing into the subway of the Changping Line.

It was more crowded than a canned sardine, and everyone rubbed their shoulders and elbows.

All kinds of strange smells poured into her nostrils, and the editor almost couldn't help but vomit, but she couldn't even bow her head.

The fitness man was crowded in the surging crowd, looking guarded.

On the contrary, the social animal man is like a fish in water, like a catfish, swimming easily in the crowd.

Zhou Qiao, who was full of curiosity, although he was also extremely uncomfortable, but he still accepted everything and felt everything, and suddenly he found that the two natives who came with him were holding the wall and no longer moving, he squeezed over and suddenly shouted, "Look! Look at the walls! It's all text! ”

"Let me see what they mean! What could it be better than that? Zhou Qiao also leaned on the wall like a native.

The expressionless social animal, like a nimble fish, swam to Zhou Qiao's vicinity. Although he still had a paralyzed expression on his face, he was actually taken aback in his heart.

The unrecognizable text on the wall was moving......

The words of the gut-colored text were detached from the wall, as if they were worms with life one after another. A series of drilled into Zhou Qiao's eyes.

Zhou Qiao, who was originally full of confrontational spirit, had a happy expression on his face.

The fitness man who had just squeezed over, seeing this scene, wanted to pull Zhou Qiao away from the wall, but found that Zhou Qiao's hand was like a suction cup, firmly sucked on the wall.

He tried to block the wall and Zhou Qiao's eyes with his hand, but found that those text worms actually bypassed his hand and continued to burrow into Zhou Qiao's eyes.

And Zhou Qiao, who was originally happy, also began to grin his teeth, revealing the tiger teeth in his mouth, like an angry dog.

The editor hugged Natsume, so she squeezed to the wall at this time, looked at the strange situation in front of her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"He's stuck in it." The fitness man sighed and took out a handful of Browning from his pocket, "I can only blind him and disconnect him from the wall." ”

As he spoke, he put the muzzle of his gun against one of Zhou Qiao's glasses.

"Stop!" The social animal, who seemed to be paralyzed, suddenly roared, "Look at his head. ”

The fitness man took a closer look at Zhou Qiao's head and found an abnormality. If Zhou Qiao's head is originally the size of a pumpkin. At this moment, it is already close to winter melon.

"His head is getting bigger!" The social animal man pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "That is to say...... The words got into his head and stretched his skull.

In other words, he has not yet absorbed this strange knowledge. No matter how indescribable this knowledge is, he can still judge rationally.

If that's the case, I can save him......"

"How do you want to save it?" The fitness man asked.

"With paper and pen bought from you." The social animal man said.

The social animal man took out a pen and paper, and with a very fast hand speed, he began to copy the words on the wall.

"Are you crazy!? Just by looking at those words, you lose yourself, and you still copy it? I order you to stop immediately, and if you don't stop, I'll break your hands! The fitness man held a pistol in both hands and aimed it at the hand of the social animal man who was rapidly copying.

The social animal man copied it, and a mocking expression appeared on his face, "Do you really think that if I copy this thing, I will lose myself?" Have you ever copied your classmates' answers during the exam? When you copy them, do you wonder what those answers mean?

It would be nice if you replaced the muscles in your head with your IQ.

My job is to move the code and glue it together to do the work.

As for...... What exactly is the function of each part of these text worms, and why should I find out?

The text on the wall has the same effect as my glue code.

But...... Their function is roughly "transcription", the transfer of from one vector to another.

That being the case, if they create an environment that they think is more suitable for "transcription" before they start the next stage of functionality, they will naturally be transcribed to another vector. ”

After the social animal man finished speaking, he threw away the pen with his right hand, grabbed Zhou Qiao's hair, and forced Zhou Qiao's gaze to fall on the paper in his left hand.

In an instant, Zhou Qiao's face showed an expression of choosing people to devour. But then the words and symbols that had been in his mind began to pour out and gush onto the paper.

Just seeing these text bugs, Miss Editor felt uncomfortable, as if there were countless small insects climbing on her body, and even the strength of her arms was a little greater.

Natsume shook her body in dissatisfaction, and the editor felt something strange before she broke free from the fear of the word worm.

Zhou Qiao's eyes had turned into wormholes, and countless worms poured out from here.

At the same time, his head was visibly shrinking.

When the last word worm broke away from Zhou Qiao's eye socket and landed on the paper, the social animal man closed the notebook as soon as possible.

"From now on, don't care too much about the content of strange text anywhere." The social animal man said indifferently.

Zhou Qiao, who was wooden, recovered after a while.

He asked, a little dazed, "What happened to me just now?" ”

The fitness man silently put away Browning and took out his twenty-sided dice again, "Roll it and make an appraisal." ”

“14”。

The fitness man was relieved to see this number.

"You just paid too much attention to the text on the wall, and the text on it turned into worms and burrowed into your head." The fitness man said.

"Yes...... Is that ......," Zhou Qiao said with some uncertainty.

The social animal man on the side added at this moment, "The text worm just now may have devoured his recent memories. This damn place! What is our mission? Let's hurry up and get out of this hellish place. ”

"The main task is to participate in the Centennial Creation Competition." Although Zhou Qiao didn't know what had just happened, he quickly returned to his previous state, "Originally, I thought there would be a hidden quest to get more rewards. But it's so dangerous, let's finish the main quest and get out of here. ”

"But where can I participate in this centennial creation competition?" Miss Editor asked.

Everyone present said they didn't know.

"I'm going to ask those two NPCs." Zhou Qiao said, and squeezed to the side of the native lying on the wall, "Hey! How to participate in the Centennial Creation Competition? Feed! ”

The two natives, like four-clawed octopuses, lay on the wall, like two kings.

"Why do their heads seem to get bigger?" Zhou Qiao saw the two natives who were motionless and said with some suspicion.

The fitness man said, "Ask them and they can't find any results, everyone in this city is very strange, let's find it ourselves." Since it's a creative competition, there will already be a venue. ”

"The venue for the creation contest." As the editor repeats this, she suddenly sees a high platform in the distance. Although it is not so much a venue for a creative contest, it is more like a high-platform fighting method. However, she just felt that it was the venue for the creation competition.

"It should be there!" The editor pointed over.

Zhou Qiao said loudly, "Let's go, my desire to create is already hungry!" ”
