Chapter 1889: You're Fooling Me Again? (Slightly better, but not better)
For a moment, Fang Zheng just wanted to turn around and leave.
In fact, when he heard the name Innsmouth, Founder wanted to run away.
Because he already knows what the hell this place is.
Damn the world of Cthulhu!
Goddess of Order, you're hairy!
Fang Zheng couldn't even imagine that next door to the Overworld was actually Cthulhu?
Are you kidding me?
In this way, the miserable situation of those soldiers can be understood, and there is no need to think about it, they must have seen something "indescribable", and then they themselves have become "indescribable".
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng sighed deep in his heart, and then glanced down, according to his experience, the system should pop up the main quest at this time.
However.........
βββββββ
The system still pretended to be dead, as if it didn't know anything. There was no response at all, no tasks were given, no prompts were given. This made Fang Zheng feel more and more uneasy, there must be a demon when things go wrong, what the hell is this? You're going to jump out of a mission now, I still know what to do, but you don't say anything, what does that mean?
"Master, is there something wrong with this world?"
Looking at Fang Zheng's frowning brow, Nimfu asked suspiciously, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.
"To say that there is a problem for sure, now I just don't know what the problem is and how to solve it........."
Isn't it for me to kill all the old rulers of this world? Kill from Cthulhu all the way to Azathoth?
Damn, it can't really be so bad.
Frankly speaking, Cthulhu is not afraid, a fishing boat can handle the goods, but Azathoth's words......... Well, if there is a Star Casting Dragon King, he will not be afraid!
But isn't it nothing?!
By the way, let's draw a soul stone first!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also immediately turned on the system, and now he and Nimfu were watching the scenery on the cliff on the other side of Innsmouth Town, and the guy named Francis went to explore the mysteries of the town by himself......... Generally speaking, this kind of person dies quickly, but there is no way to stop him from dying squarely, right?
However, when Founder opened the gacha system, he found that it was ......... I don't know when, the system silently locked ten times, can only be drawn single, and can only be drawn ten times, and it can't be drawn with dimensional points, but can only use something called soul volume......... What the hell is this?
Lao Tzu, this is not a limit to participating in activities, you give me a fart!
Fang Zheng almost flipped the table.
Does this Nima really want Lao Tzu to brush and brush all the old rulers and outer gods of this world?!
To be honest, when it comes to the world that Founder least wants to go to, the world of Cthulhu is definitely in the top three.
Because the world is so weird.
Fang Zheng still knows a little bit about the world of Cthulhu, but if you want to say why Fang Zheng has a psychological shadow, it has to start from when he was in college, when Fang Zheng's roommate in college invited him to play board games, and Fang Zheng, who had never been exposed to board games before, naturally readily agreed.
As a result, I didn't expect that the group of bastards was engaged in the Cthulhu running group, and Fang Zheng at that time didn't know anything about Cthulhu, and was completely driven by them to put ducks on the shelves, which led to Fang Zheng not knowing how to deal with it when he encountered a problem. For example, his character finds a mysterious magic book on the map that needs to be deciphered.
However, according to the general traditional thinking, Fang Zheng must be interpreted.
As a result, the interpretation failed, and he became a madman.
This made Fang Zheng very unhappy, and asked to start over, and then the interpretation was successful, and then βββ became a madman.
Or Fang Zheng went to a certain town to investigate a mysterious incident and found a strange shadow, and then he followed the strange shadow to investigate, entered a mysterious lair, was caught by the cultists and sacrificed, and died because of the struggle.
Or because of the struggle to escape, but because the other party summoned the old evil god in the process of escaping, the spiritual evaluation failed, and he became a madman again.
Then I came back to Fang Zheng to learn to be smart, and I didn't go to find someone directly, but I was in the hotel, and as a result, the cultist ritual in the middle of the night successfully summoned the evil god to appear, and then the world was destroyed, GAME OVER.
At that time, Fang Zheng only wanted to say MMP.
At first, Fang Zheng thought that other people were gathering to target him, but later he made up for Cthulhu's setting with the help of his classmates, and then he understood what was going on.
Frankly, Cthulhu's worldview does have a fascinating side, but more importantly, unlike the usual clichΓ© story of the triumph of ultimate good over evil, Cthulhu's worldview is more about the awe and fear of the unknown. The whole worldview is revealed by the human being because of too arrogant and arrogant, and the fanatical pursuit of powerful power that does not belong to itself, which eventually leads to the warning of destruction.
In the Cthulhu Mythos, the gods are actually extraterrestrial visitors, they hold mysteries and knowledge that humans cannot understand, and many times, these extraterrestrial visitors have no special feelings for humans themselves, just like a person who sees a group of ants, he may crouch down and observe curiously, or he may glance and retract his gaze, or he may step on it because he is not used to seeing it.
To humans, ants are insignificant.
And the ants are unlikely to do any harm to them at all.
However, what makes Fang Zheng most vigilant is the "toxicity" in the Cthulhu world, according to the Cthulhu world, whether it is those old gods or what they left behind, just one look at people will make them crazy, because it is an existence that humans cannot understand. But this process Fang Zheng has never figured out what the reason is, of course, if it is like the main world, because of the stimulation of Shenwei and Longwei, it is reasonable to say that people have a whole mental disorder, but what about the items?
Why do you have a nervous breakdown?
What is the principle behind this? Can I be exempted?
Because of this, Founder has always stayed away from the world of Cthulhu, because it is not as simple as Shinto, on the contrary, everything seems to be known, but in fact everything is unknown. For example, when interpreting Cthulhu's magic book, the average person will go crazy after reading it, whether the interpretation succeeds or fails, of course, it may be because human beings themselves are spiritually fragile, but what if those things have their own spiritual pollution?
At the beginning, Fang Zheng also lost in the board game, which can be regarded as a psychological shadow.
But it's okay, Innsmouth......... In Fangzheng's memory, it can also be regarded as a novice area. If he's not mistaken, according to what he saw at the time, this was Cthulhu's clan βββ the lair of the Deep Diver, and Cthulhu wasn't here. And the Deep Divers themselves are just a group of weak scum with less than five combat strength, even the national army of this era can send them to the western sky.
You might be able to figure out what's going on in the world and see what happens next.
As for going back......... It's impossible to go back, Fang Zheng has just let Nimfu go back to the tunnel they came out of and turn around, but the result is completely unable to get out, but fortunately, he can still contact the Heavenly Dao Palace, and Fang Zheng can also open the dimensional channel to bring his subordinate fleet and soldiers over at a critical moment, but he is not worried about any big problems.
"Hey, sir! Mr! β
Just as Fang Zheng was bored looking at the scenery, the energetic voice sounded, and Nimfu's figure disappeared into the air in a flash again, and Fang Zheng turned his head to see Francis running towards him while waving his hand.
"What are you doing here?"
"Look at the scenery, although this scenery is not very beautiful, but there is really nothing else to do."
"It's also ........."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Francis's expression was also a little complicated, and at this moment, Fang Zheng squinted his eyes and carefully looked the young man in front of him up and down. If he remembers correctly, then the Francis in front of him should be the protagonist of the Cthulhu series "Shadow of Innsmouth", and according to the story, this young man also has the blood of a deep diver, in fact, soon after the destruction of Innsmouth, he was completely brainwashed, and then took the initiative to go to the deep sea city of Lalaye and become a member of the deep diver.
Maybe by his side, I can study what this is all about?
"How's your quest going?"
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also put away his gaze, looked at Francis with a smile and asked, but Francis sighed helplessly.
"Nothing good, to be honest, I just heard something from a crazy old man......... Nothing more than those superstitions, old legends and ignorant memories, but ........."
Francis shuddered a little as he said this.
"Frankly, it's really scary."
"It's not surprising that there are all sorts of legends in the countryside."
Fang Zheng soothed Francis a few words, which made his originally somewhat panicked expression relax a lot.
"Is there anything else?"
"That's right, I was going to tell you to get in the car, but the driver told me that there was a problem with the car and that it would take a day to fix it, so we might have to stay here tonight."
Saying this, Francis rubbed his hands and looked at Fang Zheng with some embarrassment.
"So......... If so, would you like to live with me? To be honest, I had heard a lot of bad rumors before I came here, and although I didn't take it to heart at the time, I'm really worried now, after all, it's a remote wilderness......... It's not very safe to be in a country like this, and I'm a helpless outsider........."
"Of course there is no problem."
Fang Zheng recalled the plot for a moment, and nodded at Francis.
"But I'm curious, aren't you worried that I'm in league with them?"
"Hahaha, you're joking, sir, and I can see that your bearing and demeanor are completely different from those of the people here, and of course, I know you may be a little worried, but I can assure you that if we can make it to Arkham safely, I will pay you a reward. Although I was a poor student, my mother's family had a little money there........."
"Okay, I got it."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng also smiled, although this young man was a little reckless, but he was not stupid, he naturally understood that it was impossible to ask a person who met him to face danger with him without evidence, so he was also very good at giving some small conditions.........
"Since you say so, then I'll keep you safe along the way."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng held the other party's outstretched hand.
