Chapter 239: Death Town (31)(1/3)
"Begging on your knees?"
Qianye found something wrong with this adjective and was a little stunned.
When Charles saw Qianye's expression, he thought he was right.
Young people always make mistakes.
Charles could understand their young, frivolous and unruly thoughts.
after all.
He used to be like this too...
"You are very similar to my nephew, the same age, and the same innocence."
Charles shook his head, as if feeling sorry for Qianye.
The face with the vicissitudes of time makes this regret even more contagious.
"It can fulfill all your wishes and will indeed make you obsessed with it."
"But as is often the case, you all fall into the abyss in the end."
"Those who try to obtain its power will eventually be swallowed by it..."
These three sentences came out of Charles's mouth and were extremely accurate.
Qianye was a little confused.
He didn't understand what the so-called "it" in the words meant.
Problems arise after coming out of "Yandere Girl Boss"...
Something that can be brought out of it.
it?
Qianye always has some vague fragments of memories, but those memories are so fragmented that it is impossible to piece them together.
"Mr. Charles, what do you mean by it?"
Chino said with the spirit of asking if you don’t understand.
only.
Charles fell into a slight silence about this.
The rain outside seemed to have become lighter. Although it did not stop, there was no longer the same movement that seemed to flood the town.
He looked at Qianye with his cloudy eyes.
He opened his mouth and replied: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in recalling that kind of thing. You've seen it yourself, so I don't think I need to explain it to you."
seen it...
Qianye was almost racking his brains.
He began to recall the details of "Yandere Girl Boss" from beginning to end, trying to recall every weird place.
Unusual...
Unlike anything else...
In a trance.
Qianye felt as if he had thought of something.
He lowered his head, looked at Charles's face, and asked tentatively: "Is the thing you are talking about the old god?"
Yes.
The only difference is.
Qianye could only think of the Cthulhu thing that could interfere with his talent in "Yandere Girl Boss"...
In reality, only a small group of people know and understand this kind of thing.
In the beginning, it was only presented to the public in the form of entertainment reading.
As time goes by.
I don’t know who thought of adapting this theme to modern novels. Because the theme is novel and unique, and the setting is somewhat like a ghost story, but different from a ghost story, it became very popular not long ago.
In the world set by Cthulhu.
The human beings in it are often the most insignificant. If you don't pay attention to it, you will go crazy and die...
Adjectives such as the so-called inability to look directly.
They are all to describe the old gods hidden in the world of Cthulhu.
Of course, the God here does not refer to the kind that we have been exposed to and understood in the past.
What kind of God, the Jade Emperor, etc. are mostly described and speculated in good images...
The Old Gods are just the opposite.
In the description of the world of Cthulhu, it is often mysterious, unknown, unmentionable, and untouchable.
I can't say it's completely bad.
It can only be said that most of these themes will adhere to a setting and a basic worldview structure.
That is - human beings are not worthy of accepting God's will.
Man must not touch God...
This kind of story structure lowers oneself to the abyss, and then elevates the other party to the point where there is no end in sight.
In fact, it is somewhat similar to a doomsday-themed story.
A world filled with despair and a ray of light that cannot be seen.
To write about ants living in this desperate world, Chino has been reading this kind of story for a while.
only.
Maybe it's because of aesthetic fatigue...
Or maybe it’s because the subject matter I write about actually has nothing to do with this kind of thing.
So Qianye only had a cursory understanding of it.
but,
Such a cursory understanding.
It doesn't prove that he wishes he had actually encountered that kind of thing...
Struggling to survive in despair.
This sounds very nice and has a sense of story.
But he is in a world of heretical horror, and he does not hear it with his ears but can come into contact with it personally. Naturally, he is unwilling to have such a thing happen...
Qianye looked forward to it after asking this question.
Charles could shake his head in denial, or appear confused.
But it's a pity.
Bloody things happen every day...
After Charles heard Qianye say the words "Old God", his face immediately became confused, and he completely lost the look that he had before that could talk amiably and always had a smile on his face.
The old face turned pale with fright.
He stared at Qianye and yelled: "Get out of here!"
Obviously.
Charles knows this stuff.
This thing also scared him very much.
Even though the conversation had been going on for such a period of time, Qianye could be heard saying the name of that thing. At that moment, he still ignored any politeness and directly issued an expulsion order using swear words...
In Chino's field of vision.
He saw that even the knuckles of the other party's fingers were turning white.
And I know that old man Charles has experienced that kind of thing before, otherwise if it were rumors and rumors, it would not lead to such an obviously radical reaction...
"But is your acting really that good?"
Qianye began to have doubts about Charles' identity.
At the beginning, the other party's calm and lively performance made him sigh that Charles was probably an NPC.
only.
Qianye kept what An only said in mind.
He has always believed that people in this world play the role of "victims", so he attributes everything to his acting skills.
To be continued...
