Along the way, Li Chenyin and Dai Shikai popularized a lot of knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos to others, and after listening to the two of them, everyone's faces became more and more gloomy.

And Li Chenyin, as the person who knows the most, takes a lot more risks than others.

But if it weren't for her, I'm afraid no one would have been able to see that He Hongfei had already been killed and replaced. The ghoul has a very high IQ, and it lurks around everyone, and must have intended to catch them all at the right time; And this kind of creature belongs to the mythical evil, and spending too much time with it will also affect everyone's physical and mental state to a certain extent.

Faced with such a situation now, even Li Chenyin, who is not accustomed to cooperating with others, has offered to carry out the task with the other three districts. For her request, Xu Zhen agreed without thinking.

This was not only what he meant, but Lu Qing did not show any objections. After all, Shan Hongwei's strength is obvious to all, and with his joining, he will be more confident in fighting monsters.

"This mission should not be delayed for too long." Li Chenyin said: "First, there are ghouls everywhere in the town, and we are in the dark in the light, and they are extremely vulnerable to attack. Secondly, you need a light source to defend against ghouls, which is easy to say during the day, but not easy to do at night. ”

"Let's find a way to find supplies." Xu Zhen said: "Food is also a problem, if this town is full of monsters, I'm afraid there will be not much left to eat." ”

They came to the street park, the original statue has long been blown up, and after the baptism of last night's storm, the park is now a mess, and there is not even the gravel of the statue on the ground.

Li Chenyin had a headache: "Actually, we don't know why He Hongfei blew up the statue, and when we wanted to come here to check, we encountered a tornado again." Therefore, they did not even see the crumbs of the statue.

"Thinking about it this way, could it be that it was because he blew up the statue that he would be killed?" Lu Qing thought from a different angle.

And after he finished speaking, Dai Shikai, who was silent on the side, staring at the remaining base of the statue in a daze, suddenly changed his face: "I...... I remember! ”

He had seen a triangle carved into the rubble, but now that he thought about it, it was not a triangle, but a ...... Pentagram.

"Damn, this idiot is damn bad!" Dai Shikai burst into a foul mouth, and then said: "This statue is engraved with an old seal!" ”

The Old Seal is a very strange existence in the Cthulhu Mythos system. To put it simply, it is a symbol similar to a pentagram. However, the Old Seal works wonders for most monsters, as the Old Seal is the equivalent of filth in their eyes.

It's worth noting that the Old Seal can't deal with evil gods, just as garlic is nothing more than filth to vampires, or feces is nothing more than disgusting and disgusting to humans.

However, for most mythical creatures, especially those evil gods, there is no so-called goodwill and malice towards humans, just like the attitude of humans towards ants, they are all casual, so many evil gods will not attack humans with old seals under normal circumstances, because they are afraid of dirty hands.

As a result, the Old Seal is known as one of the three artifacts in the Cthulhu Run game, which can save your life in many situations. At least encountering a low-level monster like a ghoul can still help.

However, this life-saving charm was blown up by He Hongfei, an idiot, without knowing it.

Not only Dai Shikai, but even Li Chenyin also showed a distressed expression, which shows its importance.

"I'm so angry, I really want to go back in time and break him into pieces and throw it to the ghouls." Dai Shikai almost broke out.

Lu Qing patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down. Seeing this, Xu Zhen couldn't help but say, "Maybe there are other places in this town that hide old seals?" Is it possible that as long as we find the old seal, we will be able to defend ourselves against the attacks of monsters? ”

"You should know what the old seal looks like, right? Can we draw some out of this, will this work? Yang Yuenan asked.

"In the Cthulhu Mythos setting, the Old Seal is only useful in the hands of someone who has magical powers. And we're all just ordinary people, and even if we find it, we can't use it. Li Chenyin's words made everyone feel disappointed: "Simply draw that picture. The case has no effect and needs to be activated with the spell of the same name. So even if we imitate the gourd scoop, it is useless. ”

Seeing everyone sighing, Li Chenyin thought for a while, and then said: "Although the old seal cannot be used in the hands of us ordinary people, it does not mean that it is just an ornament in the mission. The reason why the space releases the old seal is actually to give us a way to live. ”

An old seal, which can be a heavy coat of arms or even a relief on the wall. It can be used as a roadblock to block the path of monsters and even evil gods.

Assuming that people can find other old seals and place them near their habitats, they will be able to resist the attacks of monsters to some extent.

"To a certain extent?" Chen Shuo pondered: "In other words, even if we have an old seal in our hands, we are not necessarily absolutely safe. ”

"yes, didn't I tell you just now? The Old Seal is just a filth in their eyes, not an attack item. Dai Shikai scratched his head and explained: "For example, when you chase a person, you find a dung pit in front of you, and you can't jump over." Usually there is no big hatred, so I must leave it at that. But if you're in a hurry, let alone a manhole pit, even if there's a septic tank in front of you, you can rush in and kill that bastard. It's a big deal to take a shower afterwards and rinse it off. So this old seal is, at best, a ......"

"Stop, got it." Chen Shuo was a little embarrassed by what he said, and immediately stopped Dai Shikai's description.

"In this way, the old seal is our lifesaver, and it doesn't have much impact on the human race itself, right?" Lu Qing had already understood from the words of Dai Shikai and Li Chenyin before that the reason why they had been feeling uncomfortable from the beginning of the mission to the present was largely due to the influence of those evil creatures in the town.

"That's right." Dai Shikai nodded when he heard him say this.

So, why did He Hongfei destroy the old seal? If he knew the Cthulhu Mythos, he would have known the role of the old seal on the statue; If you don't understand, will the average person think of blowing up the statue for no reason? Lu Qing's question made Li Chenyin and Dai Shikai fall into deep thought.

He looked at the remains of the statue and said, "I have a conjecture, but because I don't know much about these things, I will say it, and you can see if it can be true." ”

"Uh-huh, Brother Qing, you say."

"If there was something sealed in this statue at that time, it was it that made He Hongfei feel extremely uncomfortable, and under the painful torture, He Hongfei would choose to blow up the statue?"

"But when he came back, he honestly explained to the captain that he blew up the statue because he was uncomfortable, but there was nothing in it at that time." Yang Yuenan said. Yin Xiong on the side also nodded, indicating that He Hongfei had indeed said this.

"Are you sure? Perhaps, just he didn't see it? Lu Qing asked reluctantly: "That thing may not be very big, just like the rats encountered before, or...... Is it an invisible monster? ”

And after he finished speaking, Li Chenyin and Dai Shikai's eyes appeared in shock at the same time. The two seemed to think of something, and they glanced at each other, cold sweat slowly sliding down their foreheads.

If the seal in the statue was only a monster like a human-faced mouse, it would not be enough to make He Hongfei so painful. And there is indeed such a creature that conforms to Lu Qing's conjecture, but Li Chenyin and Dai Shikai don't want to believe that it really exists in this mission.
