Chapter 124: The Emerald Chaser
[Mod Name: Emerald Chaser]
[Suggested number of people: 1-3]
【Difficulty: Old Dominator】
……
The "Cthulhu's Secret Keeper" system will list the mythical elements around Chen Qiang that are not under his control as triggerable mods in the real world, and in the virtual space, in addition to the elusive "Random Trial", a large number of modules related to the mythological elements that Chen Qiang has been exposed to in the real world and random trials will be listed.
"It doesn't seem like there are many mods, but it's a lot when you look at it."
Unconsciously, the mythological elements that Chen Qiang has come into contact with seem to be "dazzling".
Outer Gods: Yog Sototh, the One of All Things; "Tyndalus Overlord" Msisha; "Chaos of the Bush" Nyarlathotep (many of them are mods or chamber mods that take the traditional supernatural route); "Le Angel" Truningbra.
Old Dominator: Hasta the Unspeakable; Lord of Laleye, the great Cthulhu.
Mythical races: Ghoul, Ancient, Deep Diver, Migo (who appeared after "Arkham", it seems that Mr. Michael is really Migo), and the Sgho.
Coupled with some mods that simply express "human horror", there are now mods that Chen Qiang can choose from in the system list, not a hundred, but eighty.
……
[Selected Mode: Original Purpose]
[In this module, the "Credit Rating" will be recalculated based on your implanted identity]
[If you have any questions, you can consult the "Secret Keeper" without attracting the attention of NPCs]
[Any act of "revealing the existence of the game" in front of NPCs will be punished]
In the mist, Ceciallou waited impatiently for the mod to begin. The powerful encounter in "Arkham of the Soul" made her hold back her anger and want to vent, and it was best to fight the enemy head-on.
The cold beep of the system continues.
[Fear - True fear will break people's will, leave a nightmarish imprint in the heart, and there will never be a day of peace.] 】
[Just like being terminally ill, even if a curtain is pulled up in the heart to cover up these unbearable memories, that kind of fear will still erode people's minds again. 】
Ceci scoffed - she wouldn't be afraid!
PTSD or something, it's pure Chen Qiang's nonsense, she just doesn't worry about Chen Qiang's "unstable factor" jumping in places she can't see! Self-deception? Weakling!
[Perhaps you scoff at the saying that "ignorance is bliss" as a clumsy trick by some people to protect their knowledge and power from the prying eyes of others; But by now, you probably know that this is true. 】
…… This voiceover can read minds.
[In a special sense, those ignorant and superstitious beings are also enviable. Ignorance and fearlessness, imaginary and vain dangers, do not hurt the foolish. 】
[The real horror is far beyond imagination - people depict imaginary monsters with untold fear, and the real horror is far above them.] It is important to know that the truth behind the facts is an unbearable weight. 】
[Human language is so poor that it is impossible to describe what one sees when one gazes into the primordial abyss of fear. Language is subordinate to thought, and thinking has long been silenced in the face of true horror. Human power pales so much in the face of things far beyond the ability to comprehend, and this powerlessness is the edge of truth. 】
"Cut, it's a set of words." Ceci muttered.
Don't panic, it's just a scare! Ceci dewed in pieces.
Cecilu, who was kept in the dark, didn't know that these lines were actually not spoken by the system, but read by Chen Qiang with "secret keeper authority".
If it weren't for the system's refusal, Chen Qiang would still want to add some background music...... Why doesn't the system give a function of automatic BGM?
But it's okay, as the saying goes, "silence is better than sound at this time", the system "translated" Chen Qiang's tone into an indifferent and cold tone, and before the story officially unfolded, the emotionless indifferent recitation had more Cthulhu charm.
Chen Qiang didn't intend to intimidate Cecilu, but he just felt that the "Green Delta" agent should have a stronger psychological tolerance for these lines.
As for Xiaoxue...... Xiaoxue hesitated for a while before choosing "original purpose" and "popular", so she only heard the last sentence of that line. Xiaoxue's sanity was increased by 10 points by Chen Qiang's consumption of the wisdom pool points. By the way, Xiaoxue's sanity has recently begun to recover naturally, and the current SAN is 30.
It's likely that she'll be involved in the investigation of the real Arkham in the future, and it's better that the line of sanity is slowly rising.
[Game begins.] 】
……
[Chen Qiang's credit rating has been reset to: 90%. 】
[Qin Lingxue's credit rating has been reset to: 10%. 】
[Cecilu's credit rating has been reset to: 10%. 】
[You can check your character card by calling the Secret Keeper]
Chen Qiang, Qin Lingxue and Ceci Lu had a flower in front of them.
[This is a small country located between China and India, on the south side of the roof of the world]
[140,000 square kilometers of land, nearly eighty percent of the mountainous area, about 30 million people, most of them live in the lowlands and valleys. The capital, which is only 50 square kilometers, is crowded with more than 5 million inhabitants]
[However, even in such an underdeveloped country, there are still people who fight for it. With international assistance, this backward mountainous country has tenaciously established a number of institutions of higher learning. 】
The trio found themselves standing in front of a small white villa. The villas are quite exquisitely built, and there are several identical villas next to them, each with a garage attached; But the potholes, as well as the low, dilapidated school buildings and local student dormitories in the distance, accurately reflect the local economic situation.
[Chen Qiang, your identity is the son of a wealthy businessman in Huaguo. 】
Chen Qiang bowed slightly.
You are a young but experienced businessman and history buff. You come to this foothill country with your bodyguards for a vacation. The local Tribhuwan University has paid a sum of money to invite you to give lectures and is willing to provide you with accommodation. You gladly accepted their invitation. 】
[Now, your work is done and the holidays are in their final days]
In fact, almost all of these character backgrounds were quickly filled in by Chen Qiang after he played the privilege of the Keeper of Secrets and transformed the game into "popular mode", he just asked the system if he could read them out at the beginning of the story before entering......
[Qin Lingxue, Cecilu, the identities of the two of you are Chen Qiang's female bodyguards. The law and order in this area is somewhat chaotic, and your task is to protect Chen Qiang's safety at all costs. 】
