Chapter Twenty-Seven: Do You Know Cthulhu?
When the car drove to the Foundation headquarters, Chen Long and his party were divided into five interrogation rooms, just like in the American Hollywood blockbuster, with only a metal table, two chairs, and a one-way mirror.
The Foundation didn't let Chen Long wait long, and as soon as Chen Long was sent to the interrogation room, a man in black came. The man in black first examined Chen Long for a while, and then began to ask Chen Long questions.
"According to the records of the Foundation, you have 12 lives on your back, and you have a bad character, and the records also say that you are the kind of high-IQ criminal, calm and calm, in my opinion, quite suitable for you. ”
"Don't make all these twists and turns, God can see that we are not people from this world, I don't believe it, there is no one in the huge foundation who has more eyes than God. ”
As if he hadn't heard Chen Long speak, the man in black continued to talk to himself:
"Before you were sent to Base 7, the Foundation had already done a close inspection of you, and at that time you didn't have any abilities, what did you go through to get your current abilities?"
Chen Long smiled, he knew that he would have to break the news again to attract the attention of the Foundation's Level 5 personnel.
"I know that there are many capable people in the Foundation, and we are only one of the many living beings, the reason why you don't know what our abilities are, because, in the eyes of your perceptual personnel, because we are not a member of this world, we are shrouded in a layer of fog, and they can't see through our abilities, so you want to reason about our abilities by knocking on the side, to tell you the truth, my ability is time pause, but the stronger the other party, the less impact I can make. ”
"So, Mr. Chen Long, what is the purpose of your visit to our Foundation headquarters?"
At this time, Chen Long turned his head to look at the one-way glass on the side and said:
"A small border town by the sea in the west. ”
After Chen Long finished speaking, he paused, as if to give the other party time to think, and then he continued.
"Director behind the glass, what I'm going to say later is all confidential, do you have to have a Level 4 or higher personnel to listen?"
After that, there was silence. A minute later, the man in black walked out the door, and a middle-aged mature uncle in a white suit walked in. This uncle did not have the gentlemanly feeling expressed in the suit, and as soon as he came in, he leaned his legs on the table, raised his hand, and motioned for Chen Long to continue.
"I want to say that in my world, the SCP Foundation is like a publicly-created novel that everyone can create, and in the same way, most of the information is available to everyone, so I know so much about the Foundation. Secondly, after listening to God's description, especially the words 'tentacles, unspeakable, fear, monsters' and so on, are very much in line with a mythological system called Cthulhu, I don't know if you have heard of it. Maybe you don't know much about it and think it's a mess, so you might as well leave it to us to deal with, we succeeded, you have one more containment object, one less dangerous area, we fail, you don't lose, don't you. ”
Chen Long said that the sky was full of flowers, but the person sitting opposite was unmoved, he crossed his legs on the table, and said:
"It's our business whether or not we consider your suggestion, do you have room to bargain now? All you can do now is tell me everything you know. ”
Chen Long was not annoyed either, and continued:
"Cthulhu's system is very large, and I won't be able to explain it for a while, so I'll give you a primer first. At the heart of the Cthulhu Mythos are the "Old Dominators" known as the Old Gods. Legend has it that these ancient gods came from the abyss of the universe and once descended and ruled the earth in prehistoric times, but later, for some reason, they either returned to the deep space of the universe or lurked in the deepest mountains of the earth, waiting for the day when they would rise again. The appearance and power of the Old Gods will inspire the most primitive and intense fears of humanity, leading to a collective spiritual collapse and madness, and when they recover, it will be the day of the destruction of human civilization. At the beginning of the universe, it was the head of the demon god Azathoth, and the three-pillar god derived from it, Shabu Nicholas, also known as the "Goddess of Darkness and Abundance" and the "Supreme Mother Goddess", was in the image of a huge piece of flesh like a black cloud, with many tentacles, and a large mouth dripping with slime. It has spawned many Old Dominators, and can also give birth to a monster called the "Dark Child". Born of the "Nameless Mist" in "Darkness", "Nameless Mist" and "Chaos", he is the ruler of time and space, one of the Three Pillars of Genshin Impact, also known as "The Key to the Gate" or "The One Who Lives All Things, All Things Are One". Also known as the "Chaos of the Wandering Motion", Nayarathotep. Nyaratotip has always been keen to deceive and seduce humanity, and has taken it as his highest joy to plunge humanity into terror and despair. Nyaratotip is best known as the Night Roarer, an ugly giant who roars incessantly with a giant tentacle on what should be his face. The human avatar of Nyaratotip is usually a dark-skinned, tall, lanky man with a hearty smile. Cthulhu belongs to the Old Dominators
Cthulhu's rough appearance has some octopus, bat, and human features, he is all green, his body is extremely large, said to be as tall as a mountain, his soft head has countless tentacles, his body is fat and scaly, his forelimbs are soft and claw-like, and behind his back is a pair of tattered wings that appear to be unformed. Of course, in the later system, all of the above, whether they are external gods or old rulers, are classified as the evil side, while the gods of the human camp are called the old gods and the good side alone. ”
After talking about such a lot of settings, Chen Long was also a little thirsty, and the man in the suit opposite was thinking while beckoning the people outside to bring Chen Long a glass of water in.
When the people outside came in with a cup of milk tea, the man in the suit showed a disgusted expression and said:
"You drink slowly, I've always hated milk tea, in my eyes, milk tea is a symbol of evil, I'll go out to see your friends first, don't run away." ”
With that, he turned and left. Because there are a lot of talents in the foundation, and the interrogation room is also nuclear-proof, there are no handcuffs or anything like that for Chen Long. Chen Long picked up the milk tea, drank it, and walked to the door of the interrogation room, he found that the man in the suit just now may have left too quickly, and he didn't close the door of the interrogation room. Chen Long turned around and went out, and opened the surrounding doors in turn, and the people around him were indeed He Chenglin and them. When Chen Long opened the first door, He Chenglin understood Chen Long's eyes, and before the interrogators in front of him could react, he instantly punched and stunned him. At the same time, the voice of the man in the suit just now sounded in the room:
"You go back obediently now, I can not blame you for your current behavior, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
He Chenglin looked at Chen Long, who rushed out and shouted:
"What are you looking at, hurry up and save people, and escape from prison. ”
When Chen Long and He Chenglin opened the doors of the other interrogation rooms, a rapid alarm sounded, and after Chen Long rescued the other four, he pulled them to run quickly, saying:
"Hurry up, the one who spoke just now is at least a level 4 personnel, maybe even level 5, it's not something we can deal with, it is estimated that we will meet the loitering God later, he must have a way to take us away." ”
As soon as Chen Long's words fell, God "wandered" around the corner. God looked at the running Chen Long and his party with a blank face, and when Chen Long passed by him, he grabbed God by the hand and forced him to run wildly.
"It's not polite to an old man to do anything. ”
"I'm running for my life, can I run quickly?"
"You triggered the alarm, then I can't go with you, it was 05 Councillor stationed at the headquarters who spoke on the radio just now, and we don't add up enough to stuff his teeth. ”
"I won't be able to explain it to you for a while. By the way, did anyone talk to you about that seaside town just now?"
"Yes, how do you know that you have awakened the same abilities as me, omniscient and omnipotent?"
"It's speculation, with this 'prophecy', you can always believe us first and show us a way out, right?"
"Okay, I've seen your abilities, so I'll trust you, I know there's a jet nearby, and the Foundation people won't be able to catch up with it for a while. You'll have to explain it to me on the plane. ”
"Don't fix those useless things, lead the way, or you'll face that Level 5 later. ”
Hearing the level 5 personnel, God was like opening the hanging, running as fast as a thief, and even He Chenglin had some difficulty keeping up. Chen Long couldn't help but be speechless.
"You're God, why are you running away so fast, we can't catch up. ”
God did not slow down at all, but used what Chen Long said just now to return to Chen Long.
"I'm running for my life, can I run quickly?"
Chen Long: "......"
