The other three were stunned. They all lay down on the edge of the swimming pool. Cobot said in a dilemma: "This... should we save him?"
"This is a trap, but it's impossible for him not to know it. Maybe he has some other plans. Let's catch him before he dies," Jerome said.
Soon Schiller was exhausted, and Jerome took the time to fish him out. Fortunately, the swimming pool was not deep, so even if a person sank to the bottom, he could be fished out in no time.
Schiller lay on the edge of the swimming pool and coughed painfully. After a while, he wiped his lips and said, "It's useless to fight all the way to the front entrance of the hotel."
He didn't say the specific details, but it's probably the same as the first ending. It seems to have solved the hotel problem, but the most it can touch is the level of incarnation. If it doesn't affect Naiya, it can't solve the fundamental problem.
For mortals, it is basically impossible to get in touch with the true form of an alien god. The Cthulhu mythology system is also very prosperous and has many people, but among those excellent works, I have never heard of an investigator.
Being able to stand up to Naia's level and come back alive after encountering an alien god is already considered a legend among legends.
Schiller jumped in again before he even took two breaths. The three people on the shore were already numb. They spotted the gap after Schiller exhaled and fished him out.
"There is nothing between the two hotels." Schiller said: "After you jump down, only a skeleton will be blown away by the wind."
This was obviously the perspective of a bystander, but the three of them had a tacit understanding and did not ask who he had thrown down.
Then Schiller went down more than a dozen times, basically eliminating all possibilities of breaking the situation. All hardware facilities in the hotel cannot be destroyed. If you jump outside the hotel, you will die. The anomalies inside the hotel cannot be defeated.
, leaving the hotel through all the possible roads, he could only gain superficial peace, and was eventually haunted by the incarnation of the alien god.
It seems that the best ending of this movie is for the group of people to escape from the hotel in a very embarrassed manner, and then be harassed for decades, and finally reunite in the hotel to fight to the death, and all end up with a tragic death.
Although it sounds tragic, this plot is the mainstream among many literary and film works in the Cthulhu mythology system, because the main tone of this mythology system is despair, and the lack of hope is the deepest terror.
The other three people sat on the edge of the swimming pool, silent for a moment. The level of despair was such that even a lunatic like Jerome didn't know how to resist.
Theoretically speaking, if the outer gods want to have fun, the best revenge is to make them unable to have fun, which is collective suicide.
But they also know very well that there are endless human beings like them, and people will not feel sad because the ants in the ant nest they played with today committed suicide, because they can change to another ant nest tomorrow and still have fun.
When you are too weak, all your resistance looks funny. All your serious postures and expressions, your serious thinking and hard-working attitude, and your courage and strength to fight to the death just add to the fun.
Three points of absurdity, but one more layer of laughter.
Schiller did not jump in again, because this swimming pool obviously not only makes people feel painful, but also weakens people's mental strength. Schiller's spirit has reached the edge of danger, and he will be brain-dead if he jumps one or two more times.
"I don't think there is any other way." Cobot said: "This is an endless reincarnation of hell, just to trap everyone here. We are not special. Maybe this is our destination.
.”
Schiller did not criticize him for his negative attitude, because when things got to this point, not going crazy on the spot was already a sign of strong willpower.
To put it bluntly, his teammates are not very capable, but their mentality is very stable.
In fact, Schiller still had several endings that he did not tell them, because if he told them it would make them look even more desperate, that is, the power of copyright would not be effective here, and it would not be easy to draw Mickey Mouse.
There is no point in trying funny characters who have tried their best to break through difficulties. The essence of everything will be reflected here, unless you can break the dimensional wall and bring over the entities of these funny characters, and you may even have to bring over their creators.
Otherwise, it will still be impossible to break through the blockade.
There is no way back to heaven, which means that to some extent, there are also flaws in the management of this place by the space administrator.
But because of this, Schiller was even more certain that Naia's true form was probably here. If the God of Many Faces hadn't come in person, there would be no such big loopholes in the angel's management of the universe.
People always say that Cthulhu cannot be looked directly at, but facing the alien gods is another kind of difficulty. You have to find him first before looking directly at him, and compared with the weak ship's Cthulhu, the alien gods are all six
Border warrior.
One side of Naiya has gone beyond that, because he has completely overcome even the weakness of blindness, stupidity, and lack of subjective initiative.
It was really interesting. The bishop who came back sorted out the clues in his mind, and then he found that there were only a few roads, and they were all dead ends.
Although I don’t know if it will be the end if Naiya is found, but if there is any room to break the situation, it is to try to find the true form of this outer god.
Although if you think about it carefully, it is useless to find it, because Nyarlathotep cannot be looked at directly, and humans cannot communicate directly with his body, otherwise the brain will be burst, so going around in circles is still a dead end.
Schiller made a decision and that was to wait.
Yes, he planned to do nothing and just wait here, because he knew that now he was alone, but he was no longer alone.
While waiting, Schiller began to think about Naiya's purpose. Although they were happy to have fun, if they had some free time, they wouldn't mind getting some benefits.
Schiller always felt that some of what the Black Pharaoh said was true. In other words, Naia was not only making such a big move for little Bruce, but at least part of it was for him.
But why would he be targeted by Naija? It couldn’t be because of the nameless fog, right? Then he went to look for the gray fog, why did he look for him?
No, Schiller suddenly had an idea. The nameless fog is not important to Naiya, but the absence of the nameless fog is very important to Naiya.
Otherwise, why would he come to visit me as soon as I separated from Gray Fog? When I was above Barbatos, I had dealt with Naia several times. Why didn't he take action at that time?
In the Cthulhu mythology system, there are too few descriptions of the nameless fog, but Schiller estimated that Naija could not do anything about the gray fog, so when the gray fog was there, he was honest and managed to catch the gray fog and leave.
This opportunity came to me.
But if the first ending is really an ending, the gray mist came, but the one with no burden left again, which shows that Naiya did not want to harm himself, and even if he was entangled again later, there should be no substance.
Otherwise, the fog will not go away so easily.
So what exactly does this guy want to do?
Do you really just want to pester yourself to have a drink?
Then I've drank this wine and I'm almost done with it. Why do I have to perform the same thing over and over again and trap myself here?
Thinking of this, his train of thought basically stopped. Schiller calculated that time was almost up, and he lit a white candle.
Greed came. As soon as he came over, he picked up the note and wrote, but he didn't write long, he just left a sentence and then left.
The bishop came back confused, and became even more confused when he saw the words on the note. Greed wrote on the note "summon mediocrity."
Schiller looked left and right, up and down, but he didn't fully understand the magic of this trick. He couldn't handle something that he, the pathological state, and the normal state couldn't handle. Why would you call mediocrity over? He shouldn't be scared to death on the spot?
But Schiller really didn't have any clever ideas. He simply lit a white candle and silently recited the name of mediocrity in his heart.
When Schiller opened his eyes again, his face was at a loss. Ban Ban had no intention of getting a body alone. He was sleeping in the tower, and someone opened the door and pulled him over for some reason.
He looked left and right, first startled by Gordon's state, then he looked hesitantly at Cobot's legs, and finally realized that he was standing on the edge of such a large swimming pool.
As expected, he was startled, slipped, and fell directly into the swimming pool.
Following the plop, Jerome was still a little surprised. He said: "Why is there so much noise when I go down this time? Does he think that the different posture when entering the water will provide some new clues?"
Schiller's fall into the swimming pool was not as peaceful as last time. Although the water was not deep, he couldn't swim at all. He lost his balance for a while and choked several times.
The first few times he entered the water, he was at the edge of the swimming pool. Schiller's feet slipped and he fell into the middle of the pool. His legs and feet were not honest, so he kicked left and right. The pool was not deep. Schiller felt his left side after just two pedals.
My foot kicked something off.
Jerome looked at the whirlpool on the water with some shock.
Schiller took the plug off the pool drain valve???
There were indeed fewer and fewer fruits in the swimming pool, and they were all discharged along the drainage pipe. Schiller, who was sitting in the middle of the swimming pool soaked to the skin, still looked like he was surviving the disaster.
After he stood up, he stared at the drain and said, "Isn't that right? Shouldn't this kind of professional swimming pool have a professional water tanker to pump water? Where does this drain drain the water?"
After he said this, several other people realized that most swimming pools do not change water through the outlet and in through the water inlet as many people imagine. Most of them use chemical cleaning, even if they need to completely change the water.
, it is also connected to a pipe and sent to the water truck, and then another truck of water is pulled over, but it is not discharged into the hotel's drainage system.
So where did this water go?
A few people jumped into the swimming pool and took a closer look, only to find that the drain didn't seem to be matching, but someone had drilled a hole in it, and Schiller kicked off the blockage.
Then they took a closer look and found that there was no water pipe under the hole, which meant that the water in this pool should have flooded the top floor of the hotel by now.
Schiller took a breath, and then said: "It's not my fault. The opening is so small. If it were ordinary water, it wouldn't flow so fast, unless it was much sinker than ordinary water."
Jerome has a Ph.D. in physics. How could he not understand this? He hesitated and said, "This water is indeed not ordinary water. Should we go down and have a look?"
